After the Ming army completely broke the Qing fleet, Chen Qice and the fleets of Lin Cha, Zhou Rui, Hong Xu and others who arrived later began to transport the people on Henan Island who had not yet fled on their own little by little to the ship, and then sailed away.

The large and small ships on the north bank of the Pearl River have long been swept away by Chen Kai, and the landlubbers of the Qing army have to look at the river and sigh, watching Chen Kai transfer the people little by little, and there is no way. But more of the Qing army's thoughts have already flown to the alleys of Xincheng, where the city wall was originally built to protect the bustling commercial districts along the Pearl River, and now even if the people are basically gone, there should still be a lot of goods left, at least before the arrival of the feudal soldiers.

Under such circumstances, Chen Kai quickly sent all the people stranded on Henan Island onto the ship. The fleet went down the river, and there were still many ships burned by the Qing army along the coast as scenery, which ruined the painting style of the landscape painting scroll, but it also had a different taste in it.

Chen Kai followed the last group to leave Henan Island, taking Hong Xu's ship, how many people he saved, he didn't have a number at all, and he didn't even have a general idea. But Hong Xu's side seems to have a clear understanding of Kuyin, but he doesn't have the time and interest to pay attention to these things now.

"Gentlemen, well done. Respect for the brave and brave robe who sacrificed bravely! ”

"Respect for the brave robes who sacrificed bravely!"

One hundred and four people boarded the boat, and less than one-fifth of them could be here. Perhaps, some of them were relegated to other ships, or they left on their own, but there were not many of them. More people have disappeared forever in the Pearl River, exchanging their blood and lives for the hope of life for other people.

"In the next few days, live well, and when Wang Shi recovers Guangzhou, you must remember to remind me to build a monument on the south pier of Guangzhou City, for you and those robes who died in battle."

There was no wine on the boat, and Chen Kai replaced it with water, but these Guangzhou volunteers who escaped death still couldn't help but cry bitterly. After appeasing them, Chen Kai also raised their treatment to the level of soldiers, and asked Lin Dezhong to temporarily integrate all these people into the guards of the Ordnance Bureau, and then distribute them when they return to South Australia.

Speaking of which, Guangzhou Yiyong is completely different from the other Yiyong that Chen Kai brought at the beginning, Changlin Temple Yiyong. The latter is a local anti-tax and anti-Qing armed force formed by the Wanjia brothers for many years, and has the nature of a civilian armed force, while this Guangzhou volunteer force is all ordinary people who have been temporarily incorporated, and its organization is completely different, let alone compared with the regular army in the real sense.

However, the performance of this Guangzhou volunteer force was not only not inferior to the performance of the former in the Battle of Pantuoling, but even many regular troops were far from being able to compare with it. Although this is more of a counterattack by people who have been forced into a corner, as well as the blood and courage of these sons and daughters of Guangzhou, it is almost impossible to replicate, but it is still commendable.

In fact, such sacrifices are not uncommon in the city of Guangzhou. From the old general Feng Yao, who resolutely went out of the city to persuade him to surrender at the beginning, to Guo Yao, Yu Shuzhi, Cui Yinglong, and Su Wenguang, the chief soldier who ambushed the Qing army and martyred the country in Mudri, and then to the guards of the four guards in Guangzhou, there has never been less sacrifice.

Especially those guards, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the guards were eroded and no longer used for defending the land and conquering the land. When the Qing army entered the customs and swept the world, the guards in various places looked down on the wind, how to produce food for the Ming court back then, and how to produce food for the Qing court now, even if it was these Guangzhou guard officers in front of Chen Kai, Li Chengdong raided Guangzhou that year, they also chose to surrender directly and changed a court. However, these are the same people, in Shang Kexi's attack on Guangzhou, they all chose to die and die for the country.

Li Chengdong and Shang are gratifying, they are all breaking the city as Qing soldiers, and they can't foresee that Li Chengdong will one day be anyway. The reason why there is such a huge difference, in the final analysis, is because Li Chengdong raided Guangzhou and destroyed the Shaowu court, but he did not slaughter the local people, nor did he damage the interests of the guard, and when the Qing army broke through Guangzhou for the second time, they were faced with a beast army that would inevitably slaughter the city as a retaliation!

"In history, the city of Guangzhou was broken, and the Qing army beheaded 6,000, most of which were borne by the four guards of Guangzhou who only had more than 5,000 people, such as Du Yonghe, Zhang Yue, Li Yuantai, Li Jianjie, Wu Wenwen, Yin Zhirong and other high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but all of them fled by boat, and even the historians once issued a sigh that the ministers of the feudal territory cared about that day."

Among them, there is a group of special existence in the guards, that is, the Huihui army under the command of the senior officer, who was transferred from other places to Guangzhou to garrison a hundred years ago, and the ancestral home is not Guangzhou, but in the end, there are three martyrs who were praised as "three loyalties of the sect" by later generations, Yu Fengqi, Ma Chengzu and Sa Zhifu.

When it comes to the return of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the first thing that comes to Chen Kai's mind is the Tongzhi Hui Rebellion. But turn your head and look at it again, Ming Shi Hui can be a military general, can also be a civilian official, the northwest out of Mi Layin, Ding Guodong such a huge anti-Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty rebel army, Han people Hui Hui fought side by side, Guangzhou also has a sect of Sanzhong such a loyal figure for the country, there is a Ming Dynasty, there are more economic reasons such as military salaries, military rations, etc., but when I was in the Qing Dynasty, I instigated the Han Hui contradictions, and the Han Hui had to jump out and slaughter the people, and there were even traitors who wanted to cooperate with foreign invaders to carve up the land in order to support it.

In the final analysis, it was the Qing court itself that relied on the contradictions between various ethnic groups and the people of various regions under its rule to maintain its rule, and the internal struggle of various ethnic groups in order to maintain their high status. What future will such a regime have in the rising tide of the modernizing nation-state?

Chen Kai is very glad that he was born in the era of the information explosion, with more channels, he has never been the ignorant brain fan who thinks how brilliant and great my Daqing is after watching the performances of a few handsome guys and beautiful actors, since he woke up on the path, since he made it clear that he is in the era, he has made up his mind to fight the Manchu Qing Dynasty endlessly. Today, although Guangzhou has still fallen, he believes that sooner or later, the people he rescued will sweep across the entire land of China under his leadership, wrapped in the wind of revenge.

"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!"

With infinite passion welling up in his chest, Chen Kai returned to the cabin and knocked on the single compartment next to the compartment where he lived, but did not go inside, just stood at the door, staring at the strange man who had a bed but did not sleep but had to sit on the deck.

"Chen Kai, is this the gift you gave me in return - a notoriety of being greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Do you ever care what other people think of you?"

"You!"

Kuang Lu was extremely angry, and he did not seek death as soon as he woke up, just to scold Chen Kai for stopping his martyrdom.

This is not that Kuang Lu is unreasonable, once the Confucian scholars and doctors of the Ming Dynasty have made up their minds to martyrdom or self-judgment, then it is useless for others to dissuade them, let alone obstruct them like Chen Kai, but to express their appreciation and understanding of this noble ambition.

Chen Kai's behavior is indeed contrary to the human feelings of this era. But as Chen Kai asked this sentence, Kuang Lu was immediately stunned on the spot.

"I really don't care what other people think." Lost his soul said this, and after a moment, Kuang Lu shouted angrily at Chen Kai: "Whether I care or not, it's not a reason for you to interfere!" ”

In the face of Kuang Lu's anger, Chen Kai smiled slightly, and then took out a small novel called "Qingqing Princess" from his arms and threw it next to Kuang Lu.

"That's what I'm going to give you, Zhan Ruo, you're already dead, there's no need to repeat what you've done, it's boring."

After that, Chen Kai clapped his hands, and the old servant of the Kuang family walked in with a guqin and placed it respectfully in front of Kuang Lu. Then, the old servant stood sideways beside his master, but Chen Kai smiled and said, "I can't play the piano, and this green platform will be returned to you." However, there is still an exchange of gifts, and you must remember that if you Kuang Lu Kuang Zhan owes me Chen Kai, Chen Cheng is a return gift. ”

Luqitai is Kuang Lu's most beloved thing, looking at Chen Kai dumbfounded, but the Guangzhou genius couldn't even piece together a word for a while. It was Chen Kai who shook his head before speaking again.

"Your family, I've sent someone to pick it up, and we should be able to reunite in South Australia." As he spoke, Chen Kai turned around and wanted to leave, but his front foot stepped out of the door, but he stopped and did not look back. Yes, it's just a kind of vicissitudes.

"In troubled times, it is much harder to live than to die. Zhan Ruo, live well. ”
