Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 106
Bai Mingxiu occupied Huizhou without much effort. At this time, his ten prefectures in Guangdong had been attached to the prefecture, except for the Chaozhou prefecture in eastern Guangdong, all of them had been controlled by him.

Compared with the slow reaction speed of the Qing court, Bai Mingxiu's actions were very fast. His National Restoration Army itself is a modern army, well-organized and strictly prohibited.What's more, Bai Mingxiu also brought a large amount of supplies, and he basically didn't worry about logistics and supplies, so he could move forward and backward freely.

With the military exploits of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army boasting, and the rumors that the crown prince led the Nine Heavens Thunder to bomb Xinhui, the Qing army stationed in Guangdong had no intention of resisting.

As soon as Yang Yuming escaped here, several battalions of Qing soldiers under him went to Nanming halfway. Yang Yuming didn't seem to care at all, and he was focused on entering the mountains of Chaozhou. It can strengthen its momentum and resist the Ming army.

Bai Mingxiu's army is dominated by cavalry, even the soldiers of the 103rd regiment, most of them have horses to ride, and there are a large number of cavalry assistants for the luggage.After all, Guangdong was a land of prosperity. After Bai Mingxiu won the Guangzhou Mansion, he implemented a series of policies. He even used silver and grain as rewards, recruited peasants and livestock, and quickly improved the marching and maneuverability of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army in Guangdong.In addition, Bai Mingxiu managed grassroots organizations, followed the mass line, and he distributed money and food, which made the whole work easier.

That's why Bai Mingxiu's army came so quickly, Yang Yuming didn't make any preparations, so he could only retreat in a hurry and hide in the mountains.

Yang Yuming, who was in the mountains at this time, was also full of anger and worry. He said to his son Yang Baoyin: "The Ming army is coming fiercely, almost unstoppable. It is rumored that Zhu Cixuan, the son of Prince Gui, has contacted Zheng Ni. Zheng Ni is now in Guangzhou. Zhu Cixuan also named him Yingwang. In this way, Huizhou and Chaozhou were already under the enemy's back. The Zheng family repeatedly invaded Chaoshan, and their evil intentions were not dead. Zhu Cixuan's army was too powerful to attack Huizhou, and it was even more difficult to resist. The court probably only knew about Guiwang The matter of the son's trap in the Guangzhou mansion, I am afraid that it will be at least one or two months later. The soldiers and horses of the two feudal clans are also in Guangxi and Guizhou to deal with Jin Wang Li Dingguo. Half of the country in the south is already corrupted. .”

Yang Baoyin said to his father: "Father, if there is hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty, why don't you surrender to Prince Gui, oh no, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty?"

Yang Yuming said with some regret: "It's all because my father was too greedy before. He thought that Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan could win a prince. How can a father be worthy of a king? Not a small amount of power. How could you imagine that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too stubborn, he directly scolded the envoy back, and threatened him with his cavalry. When he joined Zheng Yanping in the east, he formed a pincer attack on Huizhou and Chaozhou, and became his father. You lost all your money."

Yang Baoyin hesitated and said, "I'm afraid that the imperial court will also blame the father for the crime of losing his land."

"Now we can only take one step at a time. Wu Liuqi in Chaozhou still has [-] officers and soldiers and [-] soldiers from the village. He is under the command of King Jingnan. He has run Chaozhou for many years and is a native of Chaozhou. He died in Chaozhou, and when the imperial reinforcements arrived, the situation would change again."

Yang Baoyin didn't have much confidence, and asked: "If Prince Ming is really as capable as the rumors say, can the soldiers of the court really defeat them? King Pingxi was defeated in Yunnan. Li Dingguo was defeated by King Pingxi and Zhao Bu before." How did the defeated general in Tai take care of himself so well after he went to Burma to make his army so powerful? Now that the two feudal lords are encircling Yunnan, they dare not make any moves. Instead, they dragged out a 'true dragon' and entered Guangdong..."

Yang Yuming heard his son talking nonsense, and reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense."

Who knows, Yang Baoyin gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of his father, and said, "Father, we have already let the Ming army drive into the mountains, so what if we escape to Chaozhou? Being able to attack from land, Wu Liuqi doesn't have three heads and six arms, so he will be defeated sooner or later. Dad, you don't need to worry about these things when you are old, but your son is still young. It is better to be a minister than to be a ghost. Vote to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and earn a living by military industry. Today, my son asked my father to be wronged, and became a stepping stone for my son, and my son bound his father, and brought soldiers and horses to vote for the crown prince, so there is no need to worry about it."

Yang Yuming was shocked: "You unfilial son!"

He originally wanted to call his confidantes to take Yang Baoyin, but unexpectedly, several of his confidants stood behind Yang Baoyin.

"you……"

A general said: "I'm offended, Admiral, we all want to find a way out."

After speaking, several healthy soldiers tied up Yang Yuming.Yang Baoyin was not polite to his father at all, he directly sent someone to guard his father, while he himself sent a guerrilla with a surrender form, quickly went out of the mountain to look for His Highness the Crown Prince in the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army, and surrendered to him.

When Bai Mingxiu got the news, it was already evening. His men and horses had chased for hundreds of miles and were about to catch up with the Qing army.

At dawn the next day, Yang Baoyin led more than 1 Qing troops who had already disarmed and walked out from the mountainous area of ​​eastern Guangdong.This is also the largest surrendering force that Bai Mingxiu has received so far after entering Guangdong.Bai Mingxiu admired Yang Baoyin's attitude of unconditional surrender, unlike his father who wanted a title from him.

Bai Mingxiu said to Yang Baoyin: "Yes, your awareness is still okay. I have set up the third training base of the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army in Guangzhou, where the surrendered personnel and newly trained troops will be transformed and transformed. You can go there and study hard." , if you do well, you will be an officer when you come out."

In fact, Yang Baoyin had already heard before that His Royal Highness would not directly use generals and soldiers, but would have to be sent to some kind of training base for several months or even more than half a year before they could come out.He originally thought that he could be reused if he voted in the Ming army, but now it seems impossible.

Yang Baoyin gritted his teeth, and instead of haggling with Bai Mingxiu, knelt down and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"

So far, only Chaozhou Prefecture Wu Liuqi is still stubbornly resisting. The other Guangdong prefectures have already belonged to Daming. Bai Mingxiu has surrendered nearly 3 Qing troops before and after, and eliminated some of the unqualified ones. Bai Mingxiu plans to organize two more army divisions.

And far in the north, the Qing court was finally shocked by Prince Nanming's return from Australia to seize Guangdong.Moreover, the Qing court was also furious because the two vassals "besieged" Yunnan and refused to cooperate with Zhao Butai to cut off Li Dingguo's forces.
