Chen Kai came to Guangzhou again, and it was already October 21. This time, it was still only Lin Cha's fleet, with very little cargo, and Chen Kai's explanation to Du Yonghe was that Chaozhou's supply of goods was running out, and it might be the case in the next few months.

However, according to Chen Kai's description, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Cai's source of goods has been contacted, and the first batch is estimated to have set off from Nanao now, at least seven or eight days, at most a month, you can arrive in Guangzhou, it will be a batch of big transactions worth about 100,000 taels of silver, and Du Yong and them should get together the silver in advance.

100,000 taels of silver is the price given to Du Yonghe, and if Du Yonghe changes hands again, it will not be as simple as 100,000 taels. Although there are fewer goods this time, but in the past half a year, Chen Kai has shipped several batches of goods before and after, although the quantity is not very much, but it does allow them to get a lot of benefits, with the temptation of big deals, they will treat Chen Kai as a guest, hoping that Chen Kai, a boy with scattered wealth, can bring them more benefits.

This time, Chen Kai did not rush to leave, but said that he would wait for the arrival of the goods before returning together. After all, it is a big deal, and you must always be watched by the person in charge to rest assured. In this regard, Du Yonghe and others also expressed great understanding, and Chen Kai once again lived a life of wandering around in Guangzhou City.

For Chen Kai, loitering is not only a way to get rid of those possible stalkers, but also to record the city of Guangzhou in front of him from memory, because when the Qing army breaks through Guangzhou, all this will cease to exist.

At the turn of the day, there seemed to be a lot more beggars in the city, and even the corpses on the road were seen a few times. In addition, the atmosphere in the city seems to be becoming more and more tense, there are some rumors that the Qing army outside the city has traces of mobilization, and some people say that Du Yonghe and Zhang Yue are all outsiders, and they are ready to escape from the city, leaving the locals in Guangzhou to be killed by the Tartars. All kinds of rumors are not enough.

In the afternoon, Chen Kai turned into Xianlin Lane again, the door of Haixue Hall knocked on it easily, Chen Kai walked in, there was no longer only Kuang Lu in the study, there were several other people, they looked like ordinary Confucian dress, but from that bearing, it could be seen that it was an official body.

"It's a blessing for Yu Pingsheng to be able to share with the sages of Guangzhou."

"Governor Chen doesn't need to be like this, if it weren't for Zhan Ruo's protection, we wouldn't be here today."

The civil officials in Guangzhou were not very interested in Chen Kai, and in the final analysis, Chen Kai, a Fujian magistrate, had indeed exceeded his authority when he came to Guangzhou to cause trouble and rain. However, now that the Qing army is besieging the city, they have very little choice, and Chen Kai represents not only the civil official group in Fujian, but also the Zheng group in eastern Guangdong and southern Fujian, which is very different.

In this regard, Chen Kai didn't care about it, and after all the courtesies, he explained the plan to them directly: "Don't hide it from you, when you arrived in Guangzhou at the beginning of the next year, you heard her attitude towards Zhan Ruo and saw that she was unwilling to ask Sanshui for help. ”

Chen Kai sold goods to Du Yonghe at a low price, and Du Yonghe and his generals were greedy for goods, which gave Chen Kai the reason and opportunity to go to Guangzhou many times, and even to learn more about the situation in the city. The exchange of goods, everything is normal, at most some people are used to compensate for the payment, so that Du Yonghe and others will think that Chen Kai's real purpose is to buy and sell people, and they will let down a little guard against him, and after a few rounds, the vigilance is almost exhausted, and Chen Kai can use Kuang Lu's relationship to intersect with the civil officials in Guangzhou.

"In the next from Datong Mansion to the south, along the way, the tragic situation in Yangzhou, so far vivid, but also fortunate to get acquainted with a local student who served in the history of the cabinet department, he is also one of the survivors of Yangzhou ten days, with its candle night talk, for Yangzhou was captured by the Tartars, Yangzhou tragedy also has an understanding. Now Shang Kexi is to copy the method of breaking Yangzhou, and the situation of the captive division in the city for more than half a year, and then the king of Ningxia anyway, the captive master will take revenge by slaughtering the city. The people of Guangzhou are innocent, and we must not allow history to repeat itself. I, Chen Kai, believe that there is no disagreement between Zhujun and me on this point, otherwise I would not have risked being suspected by Du Zhijun to come here. ”

Chen Kai has already made it clear in that letter, but unfortunately Chen Kai really didn't remember much of the content of "Yangzhou Ten Diaries", otherwise it would have been more convincing to write some and lie that it was made by Wang Xiuchu.

Fortunately, the Qing army was brutal, no different from beasts, this is the consensus, since they came, they did not dwell on it, and even because of some internal information and changes during this time, they were faintly more inclined to Chen Kai's judgment.

"I'm not afraid of Governor Chen's jokes, and news came from the DPRK that Kong Youde had captured Zhenxiaguan, Guanyang, and Gongcheng in northern Guangxi, and was approaching Guilin. Before that, Yongguo Gong, who was guarding the front line of Zhenxia Pass, was also once because of the looting of the family assets of Lu Kezao, the governor of Guangxi, who had returned to his hometown by Liu Chengyu, a tax collector, and almost met the unsightly Xuanguo Gong soldiers. ”

"This is the case in Guangxi, and the situation in Guangdong is also very bad. Several of the surrounding counties have been occupied by the captive, and this lord should know about it. A few months ago, Liu Guochang's headquarters of the loyal battalion was ordered to aid Guangdong, but he was suddenly said to be a rebellion halfway, and was besieged by Qingguogong, Wen'anhou, and Ma Bao and Ma Yinglong in the Sihui area of Zhaoqing Mansion, and broke through the siege, and now I don't know where to go......"

The warlords of Guangxi fought among themselves, and Guangdong attacked the reinforcements. This is the norm for the warlords in Guangxi, which is not unusual, but the things in Guangdong seem sensational, but in fact, the internal causes are not complicated.

Chen Bangfu co-opted the loyal battalion, and he could be regarded as a member of the Wu Party, but later Gao Bizheng and Li Chixin refused to enter Guilin and expel Qu Shiyun, which can be regarded as a betrayal.

The Wu Party is dissatisfied with it, and this is still one of them. The last time Li Yuanyin visited, it happened that Gao Bizheng and Dang Shousu also arrived in Xingzai, and at that time, on behalf of the loyal battalion, they put forward a proposal to hand over the military power to the military department, the financial power to the household department, and the personnel power to the official department, intending to integrate into it by enhancing the strength of the imperial court and completely wash away the name of the thief.

However, in this way, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the other military leaders, because once it was implemented, they would be moved to become generals and cut off the cake of the dominant army, which naturally aroused the jealousy of the warlords of Dongxun and Xixun at the same time. When they were ordered to aid Guangdong this time, the two parties of Wu and Chu and the two xuns of the East and West inevitably regarded them as wild dogs who came to cut the feudal domain for the imperial court and grab their territory.

As a result, Chen Bangfu first colluded with Tusi to attack Gao Bizheng, Li Laiheng and other departments, resulting in their forced withdrawal to Nanning. And this time, Liu Guochang was also besieged by two factions. What's more, Liu Guochang also complied with the previous order of Plug Yinxi to prepare to go north to Huguang, and the two parties could not tolerate him.

This matter, Lin Cha got the news earlier, but at that time it was rumored that Zhang Yue attacked the reinforcements, and now it seems that Zhang Yue can cooperate with Chen Qice to fight, when it was not this person's doing, but when the Qing army was moving south, the Ming army was still engaged in internal strife, and was still attacking the friendly troops who went to help, and I really didn't know how to write the word death.

Now that I think about it, Shi Lang's earlier statement that Li Chengdong's generals could not tolerate friendly troops was indeed fulfilled, even if Zheng Chenggong really came with the whole division, with 16,700 troops in 14 towns, most of whom had not participated in a field battle of 10,000 people, to fight against Shang Kexi's troops who guaranteed a minimum of 20,000 and were still increasing troops from Nanjiang and had rich combat experience, it was definitely not enough to defeat Shang Kexi with this own strength, and the attitude of the friendly army was like this, but he was indeed too optimistic.

"Friendly soldiers are not friends, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad."

It's funny to say, in fact, most of the Guangxi feudal towns such as Cao Zhijian and Jiaolian and their subordinates are still trying their best to resist the Qing army, and even would rather die than give in; Moreover, Ma Bao, who participated in the siege of Liu Guochang, followed Li Chengdong to resist the Qing Dynasty and Li Dingguo to resist the Qing Dynasty, and later surrendered Wu Sangui, and when the rebellion of the three feudatories was still followed by Wu Sangui and Wu Shifan to resist the Qing Dynasty, and finally died heroically.

These people are not like Chen Bangfu and Liu Chengyin, and they are resolute in resisting the Qing Dynasty, but this does not affect them to continue to fight infighting under the current situation of the great enemy.

Thinking of this, Chen Kai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. In the past, Cao Di was polemic, saying that meat eaters were despised, and he failed to plan far. In fact, meat eaters really despise it, I'm afraid it's not the case, it's just that people think more about their own interests. Everything is also in accordance with their own interests, so that Lu Gong will use Cao Di to meet the Qi division, and only then will the forces of the Southern Ming Dynasty continue to vent their energy on infighting under the current situation of the great enemy.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. But in any case, the people of Guangzhou City are innocent, and they should not be victims of the struggle of the superiors, let alone die in the slaughter of the Qing army. Too many people have died, the vitality of the nation, every point must be preserved, Chen Kaizhi to Tong'an, to Ou Ting Zhai, are doing this, in this Guangzhou City, it is also adhering to this belief will persist to this day.

"Gentlemen, what is the matter with reading the books of the sages? Now and then, you are almost worthy of it! You don't have to worry about these pickled things, it's their business that they are willing to toss around. As long as we do what we can and retain more vitality for the country, we will be worthy of our ancestors and the teachings of the saints! ”
