Chapter 175: Struggle (2)
When Dongjiang Town was in its heyday, the war was like a cloud, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not share the sky, but in the end, there were still four pieces of material such as the King of Sanshun and the Duke of Shun, which made people sigh.
In fact, not all traitors in this world have made up their minds to be traitors from the beginning. In the final analysis, it comes from personal choice, and I can't blame others. Now, Shang Kexi has become the most hated appearance when he was young, but he hates people like Chen Kai who are trying to save the world more than "little kids" like Geng Jimao who have not experienced that period of the past.
The armies of the two feudatories were under the city for more than half a year, so naturally they still had to let go of the slaughter. As for the rough work of attacking Chen Kai, Shang Kexi naturally handed it over to Guo Hu, Xianqiyu and Gao Jinku, the green battalion soldiers, to do it, and it was also a chance for them to make meritorious contributions.
"Uncle, is it enough to send those green battalion soldiers?"
"It's enough, there are only the left guard and the right guard in the south of Guangzhou and the Zheng family sailors brought by Chen Kai, a group of boneless guards and sailors who can't even stand in line when they go ashore, and the number is so much less than them, if you can't even handle this, then it's fresh."
"Na Du Yong and ......"
"Don't worry, if you don't come to block the gap, you must have run early."
"What my uncle said is very true, they are not locals, why should they shed blood for this city of Guangzhou."
Guo Hu and Gao Jinku's headquarters were in the north of Guangzhou, suppressing sporadic Ming army revolts. After receiving the order, the second general did not dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly led the green battalion soldiers of the town and the association to the south of the city.
The other, the Xianqiyu Division, was not with them, but cooperated with the left wing of the Pingnan Domain and the left wing of the Jingnan Domain to contain them in the east of Guangzhou. However, at this point, Du Yonghe fled, and the defenders also abandoned the city. The army opened the Great East Gate with a charge, and then received an order that the feudal soldiers could start slaughtering the city, and Xian Qiyu had to hurriedly lead his troops to the south of the city.
In the east of Guangzhou, the slaughter of the Qing army unfolded as in the west of the city. The sounds of shouting and killing, pleading, and crying were intertwined, and they continued to spread to the north, middle, and south of the city.
In a relatively hidden courtyard in the east of the city, the garrison Yu Shuzhi reluctantly returned with a team of remnants. His troops had been scattered by the Qing army at the east gate, and with his familiarity with the terrain, he barely got rid of the Qing army's pursuers, and then found an opportunity to break down the killer and kill a few lone Qing soldiers, and then quickly retreated here.
In the courtyard, the remnants of the guerrilla generals Guo Yao and the Dusi Cui Yinglong are also concentrated here, and there are dozens of people, but the situation is really not very good. Especially Cui Yinglong, there are only a dozen or so remnants of the defeated generals left, and everyone is injured, which is really not the same.
"The surname Guo, you saved Lao Tzu, I feel your affection. But planning to organize the evacuation of the people for such a big thing, you refuse to disclose it to a certain rumor, do you believe that I Cui Yinglong is a Yan person?! ”
As soon as Yu Shuzhi entered the courtyard, he saw Cui Yinglong holding Guo Yao and shouting loudly. Guo Yao followed Yuan Chonghuan to the north back then, and he could talk to Cui Yinglong, a northerner, on weekdays, but the stakes were very high, since Chen Kai only connected the grassroots civil officials and them, the local generals, and did not extend the scope of the tandem to non-locals, even if the friendship was good on weekdays, he didn't dare to leak the matter casually.
This matter was Chen Kai's consideration, but Guo Yao had no way to put the problem on Chen Kai, so he had to apologize. Fortunately, Yu Shuzhi rushed over, and after several persuasions, Cui Yinglong was also a scholar and knowledgeable person, knowing that the situation was urgent, and he didn't dwell too much, so the matter came to an end.
"The Tartar soldiers are able to fight, damn, to fight more and less, and to be familiar with the terrain, just these five heads, and a few of their subordinates were killed and injured, it's really not easy."
Chopping four horses, plus a civil official who didn't have time to figure out the grade, Yu Shuzhi triumphantly threw a few heads on the ground, and immediately ushered in the envy of everyone.
The head is here, but unfortunately, the horse is too big and can only be thrown on the spot. Otherwise, it would be so blatant that they would not have been able to return from the East Gate alive to rest and recuperate.
"A certain person came from the Six Veins Canal with someone, and there were already many people hiding inside. I asked roughly, most of them are difficult to leave their homeland, and they haven't heard what the villagers and Li Zhengmen have said at all, and at this time, they probably can't escape, and they plan to hide there until the Tartars order the knife to be sealed......"
The Liumai Canal is the main water network in Guangzhou, which takes into account a series of functions such as drainage, flood control, fire prevention and navigation. Now, as the order of the Qing army to slaughter the city began to be implemented, many people simply took this as a hiding place, hoping to live until the moment when the Qing army sealed the sword.
"Governor Chen expected everything, it is really a great fortune for the country to have such a strange person. It's a pity that Cui didn't have the opportunity to see him, which is really a big regret in this life. ”
Cui Yinglong pointed out that Chen Kai had anticipated the Qing army's destruction and massacre, and had already begun to deploy and organize the evacuation of the people before that. Speaking of which, although he failed to participate in the conspiracy, since he heard Guo Yao's words, he also made up his mind to die here, and drag the Qing army as much as possible for a moment and a half.
They didn't hide here to steal their lives, but after a little rest, they left the courtyard in batches, and went everywhere to wait for the opportunity to intercept and kill the Qing army who slaughtered the city, and create chaos as much as possible. However, with these hundreds of people, they really can't make too many waves. Gradually, they were drowned in the crowd of the Qing army, just as they had chosen in history.
The Qing army was assigned by Shang Kexi and marched towards the south of the city in great strides. At the same time, the confrontation between Chen Kai and Zhang Yue, Li Jianjie and Li Yuantai, who arrived later, was still not over.
"Governor Chen is so calculating, he plays with us and the others. Why, are you still planning to clean up with me and others to do our best? ”
Li Yuantai had just arrived, and on the way, he had already figured out the doorway, and brought Chen Kai to see him, before Li Jianjie finished what Chen Kai had just said to him and Zhang Yue, he was already furious, if it weren't for Li Jianjie and Zhang Yue still stopping, it might be impossible to stage a full martial arts with Chen Kai.
"Fourth brother, listen to Governor Chen's words."
"Okay, then let's see what else he has to say!"
His eyes focused on Chen Kai's body, but he was not in a hurry, and simply continued to say the unfinished words: "The situation here has been clearly seen by the three of you, the boat, now it is in my Chen Kai's hands, it is not difficult to send you out of here, but this official needs three soldiers under his command to enter the city and kill another round, I need at least an hour to put the people at the city gate into the new city." ”
Chen Kai finished his words without scruples, and Li Yuanyin was even furious: "The surname Chen, with these birdmen around you, you want Lao Tzu to go back and send him to death?" ”
