Chapter 174 Struggle (1)

Chen Kai has already received the news that Zhou Rui and Hong Xu's fleet has arrived as scheduled. Even the ten large ships he rented from Macau have also come with Hong Xu. It is a pity that among them

There are no galenic ships, nine of them are "domestic Junk ships", and only one is a European armed merchant ship, but it is indeed not small.

At this moment, these ships are still seizing every opportunity to load and transport the people on Henan Island. However, it seems that some people managed to escape on their own after landing on the island, instead of waiting for the fleet organized by Chen Kai to transfer them.

"Regardless of this, once you escape, there is hope of living. It's not sweet to force yourself."

The flow of people is still rolling south, and the dock is doing its best to carry people. Chen Kai doesn't know how many people have passed through such transfer work, and how many people are still in the city. These are impossible to count. Even

Even for the first batch of military households to leave, he only knew a rough number, but he also knew nothing about the specifics.

However, after painstakingly squeezing out more than two hours, it can be said to be the limit, but this little time is still far from enough. At this moment, a large number of people gathered outside the south wall of the old city, slowly

entered the new city. Behind them, there were troops from Li Yuantai, Li Jianjie, Zhang Yue and others preparing to flee Guangzhou from here.

Under the city, someone shouted "The Tatars are coming". There was a huge chaos under the city, and the people, men, women, old and young, all rushed into the city like crazy.

The Zhengnan Gate was like this, and the other gates were not much better. Chen Kai simply issued an order, so that the officials of the Guide, Zhengnan, Wenming and Xiaonan gates no longer have to worry about order and packages, and they should seize all time to let the people in.

Arrive at Xincheng. If anything happens, we’ll talk about it after we get into the city.

Chen Kai has never organized a personnel transfer of this scale. Even if he made plans early and made repeated revisions and plans, when it came time to take action, there were still some slight deficiencies in many places. These

Experience will be accumulated, but now we need to get people through this area as quickly as possible.

The people were swarming through the city gate. Even if the city wall provided a shield, at least they would feel a little more psychologically stable. The crowds near the main south gate became more and more intense, as Zhang Yue and Li Jianjie's troops approached.

Behind the crowd, the situation becomes even more intense.

"Come on, let's go down and greet Mr. Zhang and Uncle Li."

This time, Chen Kai called Yu Fengqi. After leaving the city, he led a group of guards to the city gate. After waiting for a while, Zhang Yue and Li Jianjie had already rushed through the city gate with their soldiers and servants. However,

As soon as the two sides met, they were at war with each other and blocked the entire south gate.

………………

It was daylight, and the confrontation at the main south gate was still ongoing. In the southwest corner of Guangzhou City, the banners of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao had entered the gap.

In the alley near the west city wall, the resistance of the Ming army's Guangzhou vanguard and Fan Chengen's troops was quickly eliminated. Shi Huiran, the hereditary commander of the Guangzhou vanguard, was killed in battle, and Yangchun Bo Fan Chengen was captured in the battle. (Note)

Shi Huiran's body and the tightly tied Fan Chengen were carried over by the Qing army. Shi Huiran could no longer open his eyes, but Fan Chengen glanced at it. Shang Kexi listened to the report seriously, while Geng Jimao was quite surprised.

Sitting there arrogantly, he glanced at the Ming army officers who were not far away from him and had shaved their heads, revealing the money rat tails on the back of their heads.

"Song, I'll fuck your grandma!"

Seeing Song Yukun and other generals who had entered the city as reinforcements and surrendered to the Qing army, Fan Chengen cursed angrily. But at this point, all he could do was to criticize him in vain, and nothing else could be changed.

.

"Report to the prince, according to General Sin's knowledge, the fleets of the puppet governor of Zhangzhou Prefecture Chen Kai and the puppet auxiliary Minghou Lincha sent by the traitor Zheng Ci are stationed at the dock in the south of Guangzhou City. The surnamed Chen has been fighting with the traitor recently.

Du Yonghe is doing business, and I heard that a batch of goods worth not less than one hundred thousand taels of silver will be delivered soon."

Song Yukun and others surrendered to the Qing army in order to save their lives and to gain a firm foothold in the Qing court. They knew everything they knew and talked about it.

One hundred thousand taels of silver, this figure immediately attracted the attention of Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao. Especially the former, when he was the deputy general of Guanglu Island in Dongjiang Town, he was deeply involved in the Liaohai trade. For

If he was only ranked second in the Qing court's understanding of the profits of sea trade, then no one else could be worthy of being number one.

At this moment, Song Yukun and others were busy telling everything they knew, from Chen Kaichu's arrival in Guangzhou, to using Prime Minister Liang Biao's head as a meeting gift, and gained the trust of Du Yonghe and other generals, thus negotiating the deal.

.Then the goods were delivered again and again, and even the specific contents of the goods were discussed by several surrendered generals. In the end, Chen Kai stayed in Guangzhou to wait for the follow-up.

Even the most detailed dates for the arrival of those big deals were told to Shang Geng.

"Uncle, it seems that we have no chance with that batch of goods worth one hundred thousand taels of silver."

Geng Jimao said this without showing the slightest regret. To be honest, he knew very little about sea trade and was far from being able to compare with Shang Kexi. Besides, he did not have to personally take action in the massacre of Guangzhou, as his soldiers

The silver offered by us will also be recorded in units of one million taels. A mere hundred thousand taels of silver is of no use.

However, after hearing this, Shang Kexi's frown remained unchanged until a moment later, he actually showed a look of sympathy. However, this look was not for Geng Jimao.

"There is no cargo worth one hundred thousand taels of silver at all. Those goods from earlier were just used by Chen to hang Du Yonghe up and give him an excuse to dock in Guangzhou. He told Du Yonghe from the beginning,

What he wants is people, but it’s a pity that Du Yong and Lard are blinded and only look at the silver and weapons. Now it’s time to make wedding clothes for them.”

Having said this, Shang Kexi actually stood up, raised his palms and praised: "My dear nephew, I haven't seen such a bold person for many years. Especially among the Ming army. The last time was probably in Dongjiang.

At that time, Marshal Mao embarked on an expedition of three thousand miles across the sea to Liaodong. In those years, Marshal Mao took his father, King Dingnan, me, Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu, Shen Shikui, Zhang Pan, Chen

Zhong, leading hundreds of thousands of Liaodong Han people to attack the imperial cavalry again and again..."

The years in Dongjiang Town are an indelible memory in Shang Kexi's life. Mao Wenlong was the symbol and hope of counterattacking Liaodong at that time. He led the Han people in Liaodong and the Jurchens who were unwilling to succumb to the Eight Banners to invade again and again.

In the hinterland of Liaodong, there is like a light tearing through the darkness. Even his father Shang Xueli died on the Liaodong front line as an officer in Dongjiang Town, and he only got his hereditary military position.

However, Mao Wenlong died in the hands of the Ming court. The governor was good at beheading generals, and the emperor refused to speak for them. Instead, he endorsed the dog official who was eventually cut into pieces. The hearts of the people in Dongjiang Town

It was precisely because of this that it fell apart. In the end, traitors like him, Geng Zhongming, Kong Youde, and Shen Zhixiang made all the faces of those Dongjiang Zhen Paoze who fought bloody battles until they died for their country.

However, since he had already followed the Qing court, Shang Kexi never thought about going back anyway. At this moment, as if he had met an opponent worthy of fighting him, he walked around the tent excitedly for a few times.

Shang Ke was glad to have given the order.

"Let Guo Hu, Xian Qiyu and Gao Jinku lead people to attack the south of the city. Since that boy named Chen wants to draw chestnuts from the fire, I will kill everyone in Guangzhou City in front of him!"

Note: "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty" records: "Yichou Pingnan King Shang Kexi and others reported that the officers and soldiers captured the provincial capital of Guangzhou and killed more than 6,000 thieves. Those who drowned were not counted. The thieves general Fan Chengen and others were captured in formation, and many people were captured.
