In the south of Guangzhou Prefecture, it is about the junction of Xinhui County, Shunde County and Gaoming County of Zhaoqing Prefecture, a small village on the bank of the Cangbu River.

At night, it was already late, and in order to save money on lamp oil, the farmer turned off the lights early. Only the two small landlords in the village, who supported the scholars, were still lighting the lamps and wasting fuel like a competition in order to let the children of the family be able to read more sage books in order to cope with the next county school entrance exam.

In the village, there was already silence. The chickens did not crow, the dogs did not bark, they approached, and there seemed to be some inaudible movements, but they were nothing more than the accompaniment that had never been absent in the village.

In the second half of the night, I was awakened by a dog barking. Soon, all the men, women and children of the village were driven to the threshing floor at the entrance of the village by a soldier wearing the uniform of the Ming army. Torches surrounded the crowd, and the light, flickering here, shone on the frightened faces, flickering and dimming.

The whole village, even the two Confucian scholars, were brutally dragged here, and after making sure that there was no one else in the village, the officer leading the team stepped forward surrounded by a group of soldiers, exposing his figure to those panicked sights.

"I would like to tell you the good news that Chen Fujun, who rescued Guangzhou back then, decided to return to his homeland those who had lived in the countryside four years ago. Ben was ordered to come here and bring home the people who had fled from Canton four years ago. ”

The officer said righteous words, and Chen Kai's name was used as an endorsement, which was completely righteous and awe-inspiring for the country and the people. However, at this hour, the people are surrounded in such a small area, and the scene of the sheep trapped by the wolves seems to be replicated, but which of the people who are deeply trapped in it dares to believe it.

"Do you need to be so unsightly to do public things?"

These words have appeared in the hearts of most people, but no one will dare to say them. Last year, the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties clashed here, and their entire village fled to the mountains for refuge, so that they could survive the war. Who knows, this war has ended, and it belongs to the control of His Royal Highness the King of Xining, who is said to be strict in governing the army and not committing any offense to the people, and there will be rebels coming to make trouble.

At this moment, the white-bearded villager gritted his teeth, and kept comforting himself with the saying "In the past few years, so many difficulties have been overcome, and it is not bad this time" to comfort himself. It was easy to muster up enough strength before nodding and stepping forward.

"Back to this marshal, our village is indeed full of local villagers, and there are no people who have fled from Guangzhou City. On the contrary, the officials and soldiers are diligent in the king's affairs, and we are very impressed, and we are willing to give ten loads of forage to reward the king's master. At this point, the villager did not forget to explain this: "Last year, the king besieged Xinhui, and the Tartars did not come to the village to burn and kill, and the people of the village turned their hearts to the king, and refused to give the Tartars food, so they simply fled into the mountains. The autumn grain is completely wasted, there is really no savings, and even this year's seeds have not been gathered, please forgive me. ”

The villager spoke humbly, but the officer frowned, and the deep brow condensed with the storm of anger growing stronger and stronger. Before the officer could speak, a soldier beside him pointed at the old villager's nose and shouted angrily: "Forage, you old immortal fucking take the old men as livestock, right?" ”

When the words fell, he was ready to fight. At this time, the grandson of the village elder, one of the only two scholars in the village, came out of the crowd and directly protected the old man behind him, with a net scarf and a Confucian shirt, standing proudly, staring at the pro-soldier intently, without showing weakness.

"Master Wang should take it as his responsibility to protect the territory and the people, and the students dare to ask, your ministry gathered the people here in the middle of the night, but I don't know what to mean by the word disturbing the people?!"

The young man's righteous words startled the pro-soldier. Seeing this, the old man secretly said that something was wrong, and tried his best to pull the seed of the family's revitalization back, but the Confucian stood there motionless, refusing to retreat from anything.

"What a Diao Min, you dare to resist Master Wang, Lao Tzu will cut you today."

As he spoke, the waist knife was unsheathed, the cold light flickered, and the reflective blade pointed straight up, followed by another moment of downward flashing, and the torch near the left, flashing so that the Confucian subconsciously closed his eyes.

However, as the scream rang out, the white light did not have time to turn bloody. When he looked closely, it was the officer who stopped his own soldiers, and he looked displeased, and he didn't know whether it was because of these people's ignorance of current affairs, or because the soldiers were so reckless that they wanted to kill a Confucian student, which would put them in an even more disadvantageous situation.

Before the knife fell, Confucius was already frightened and stayed there. At this time, the officer did not show weakness, and when he insisted that the people in the village were all the people of Guangzhou who had fled back then, he immediately ordered all these people to be driven to the direction of Henan Island.

When the order was given, the soldiers, armed with guns and knives, stepped forward and drove away, and the people in the encirclement, even if there was a great chaos, and the soft weeping that could have been hidden in the midst of it suddenly turned into a wail. It's a pity, whether it's crying or crying, these Ming troops have been ordered, where do they care about so much, just blindly use bright blades and torches to drive them north.

At the head of the procession, the officer rode triumphantly on a stray horse. Speaking of which, there is a screening mechanism on Henan Island, and even if they send these fakes over, they will also not be able to enter the city. But not to mention the genuine refugees who are mixed in, as long as there are more people, hunger and cold along the way, even if they are not there on Henan Island, is it possible that Chen Kai will still watch it. As long as Chen Kai is troubled enough, he can always force this feudal official who has always been known for loving the people like a son back to the negotiating table. At that point, the initiative will be in their hands.

It was not only their army that did this, but it was the consensus of the generals who attended the meeting, and only one Wang Xing was hidden, because that guy was too close to Lian Chengbi, and he also listened to the words of the civil official too much, and now it is difficult to say what Lian Chengbi's attitude is towards this, so as not to startle the snake.

The team was still moving forward, and the time was constantly going on, and it was already midnight when they set off, and gradually, it was getting closer and closer to the light of day. But not long after, with the light of the dragon-like fire, the group rushed straight together, and after startling the team, the person who came was brought directly to the officer.

"The commander has an order, and the operation is canceled."

The person who came was the captain of the army's immediate superior, but the order he brought made him stunned. He is the one who knows the details best, and this plan was originally started by their commander, and he quickly persuaded the other generals. Among them, isolating Wang Xing also has the intention of using this matter to expand their influence. But the plan has already begun to be implemented, and even the first batch of people estimated that they should be about to arrive at Nahenandao, but who knew that the initiator suddenly had a repetition.

"What's going on, how do you say cancel and cancel?"

After all, this is Li Dingguo's control area, and they started to act in the middle of the night, and there is no lack of fear of alarming them. I stayed up like this for most of the night, and it was hard for anyone to accept that I would return in vain. But when the words were asked, the answer was that the governor Guo Zhiqi and the governor Lian Chengbi had an order, strictly prohibiting them from harassing the people, and their commander saw that he had already alarmed the two masters, so he had to stop there.

"What bullshit inspector, when we were short of food and salary, we couldn't see him come out and give it, at this time we did it ourselves, and he jumped out and sang the opposite. Why, is he responsible for the food shortage?! ”

The officers were full of grievances, speaking of which, today's food shortage, and last year's Ming army to fight in western Guangdong, but the war has never been settled, and there is indispensable harassment for the people, there is a levy of grain and levies, and there is also an expansion of the army, so that the agricultural production of the people has been very badly affected.

In addition, after the city of Guangzhou was broken, Li Dingguo, Guo Zhiqi and Chen Kai shared the spoils on behalf of the three Ming armies participating in the war. Li Dingguo and Chen Kai are okay, they are all a systematic army, and the rewards and distributions are all from the top. However, when they arrived at the generals in western Guangdong, although Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi tried their best to mediate, they were indispensable for you to fight for me, so the pace of expanding the army and recruiting troops could not be stopped, which further led to the shortage of civilian labor and the decline of agricultural production.

After the Great War, there will be a famine year, this is a real problem. They are not willing to compress the already expanded army and turn their swords into ploughshares, nor do they have a tacit understanding with Chen Kai like Chen Qice and Li Changrong, and they can get subsidies to varying degrees. How do you know that now Yin Chen Kai is in charge, but he was stopped by Chen Kai's political enemies, and he has nothing to say.

The officers were very dissatisfied with this, but the military order could not be disobeyed, and they had to order the people to leave on their own. However, after coming out for such a long time, I always feel like I have lost money if I don't get some money back. So, the officer ordered the troops to return the way they came, and to search the village.

The turmoil in the south of Guangzhou came to an abrupt end, and the city's vitality was still recovering. Although Chen Kai promised not to interfere in the civil affairs of Guangzhou City, so many people returned from eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, and Jin Weixin, Li Dingguo's staff member in charge of Guangzhou's civil affairs at this stage, inevitably had to keep in touch with Chen Kai in order to ensure a smooth progress.

"With the participation of these officials, it is indeed too handy. I heard that they have been doing these things in Chaozhou and southern Fujian in recent years? ”

"Yes, many of them were local officials when they were in Guangzhou. When I arrived in Chaozhou, it just came in handy, and it has been going down like this. ”

In the government office, Chen Kai and Jin Weixin sat opposite each other and had a detailed conversation, but they were talking about those officials from Guangzhou who returned with the people of Guangzhou. They both had a wealth of administrative experience in Chaozhou and southern Fujian, and compared with Li Dingguo's staff, and compared with Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi, the Confucian scholars they had just promoted, these officials obviously understood better how to deal with administrative affairs.

The first thing that forced Chen Kai to take office was to storm Suli, and to start with the largest remaining local bandit, it had the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, thus suppressing the two sides of the fight and Hao Shangjiu, who was eyeing each other in the north.

Subsequently, it was managed according to the division of origin, and the territory of the two counties was newly established, and some scholars from both sides were sent to southern Fujian, not to mention the gambling and swearing, and the riot was finally quelled. Today, three years later, these officials of Guangzhou nationality returned to Guangzhou City, and immediately played the role of grassroots management, and under Chen Kai's hint, they tried their best to cooperate with Jin Weixin's work, and the results were quite remarkable.

In return, Jin Weixin has also placed these officials of Guangzhou nationality in the yamen of Guangzhou Prefecture and Nanhai and Panyu counties, so as to play a more justifiable role.

is also a military general, although Chen Kai and Jin Weixin are very different in rank, they still regard each other as peers. Their origins, as well as the famous chain of contempt for the imperial examinations, made it inevitable that there would be a gap between them and the orthodox civil officials. It's just that the estrangement between Chen Kai and the civil official clique in western Guangdong has become clear, and he has entered the stage of struggle early, which is nothing more than that he has not yet died or lived, and Jin Weixin's side has not yet reached that role.

Cooperation, which is beneficial to both parties. Today's prosperity in Guangzhou is a clear proof that it is unmistakably displayed in front of everyone's eyes. This is not only Jin Weixin's political achievements and resume, but also a fruit harvested by Chen Kai's years of preparation.

The conversation was very pleasant, and soon Jin Weixin mentioned Guo Zhiqi's return to the city. In the past few days, Guo Zhiqi seems to have disappeared for a while, but Chen Kai knows very well where he has gone.

As for Macau, he was not very worried, speaking of which, it was a colony for the Portuguese, and they occupied it for commercial trade, followed by missionary work, and as for plundering resources or something, it was okay in South America and the South Seas, but here it was a little inadequate, especially when the Dutch were watching from the sidelines. In such a situation, of course, the policy will avoid taking risks as much as possible, but it is not to eliminate risks, but to depend on the proportion of pay and benefit. This does not mean that at this stage, the Governor of Macao is just a military figure under the Council, and even if all the members of the Council are replaced, the continuity of the policy still exists.

In the current situation, there are stable commercial exchanges between Macao and the Zheng Group, and the sailors of the Zheng Group also control the coastal trade between Fujian and Guangdong provinces, so there is no need for Macau to offend the Zheng Group too much, so there will be support for Guo Zhiqi, but it is limited to a certain extent, and many of them may not be immediately apparent at this stage.

There, there is no need to worry, so when Guo Zhiqi proposed Xiangshan County as a quid pro quo, he agreed so readily. In the final analysis, it is to find the pulse of Macao.

These flashed in Chen Kai's mind, and in front of Jin Weixin, he just said "oh" and didn't say anything. On the contrary, the two chatted for a while, and when they were having dinner, a Li Dingguo's personal soldier hurriedly rushed over, and said a few words in front of Jin Weixin in front of Chen Kai, but the latter's face changed, and after instructing the man to leave, he turned his head to face Chen Kai.

"Those officers and soldiers in western Guangdong have come out of the moth again, and it has been done, you have to prepare early."
