Since the strength of the bandit army entered the West City Gate, the bandit army also continued to spread from the West City Gate to the city of Guangzhou, and the city of Guangzhou at this time was quickly occupied by the bandit army.

Since there were only more than 10,000 bandit soldiers brought by Zhang Rui to besiege Guangzhou City this time, it was naturally impossible to form an encirclement of Guangzhou City.

Although Zhang Rui put some people to pretend to be bandit troops to disperse the troops in the city, Zhang Rui was not a soldier after all, which gave the enemy a chance to escape.

However, it is precisely because of this that the escape of the Qing soldiers also accelerated the speed of the bandit army to occupy the city of Guangzhou.

"Brother Hong, the men and horses of the bandit army have already entered Guangzhou City."

In a courtyard in Xicheng District, Guangzhou, a young man shouted loudly and excitedly into the courtyard as soon as he pushed open the gate and entered.

"Whoa."

A hurried door opened

I saw that in the room on the right side of the courtyard, a middle-aged man quickly pushed open the door and walked out, and asked the young man with an unnatural tremor in his voice.

"What do you say? Hui Gan, you said that the sixth brother's men and horses have already entered Guangzhou City? ”

The person who came out of the room was the famous anti-Qing restoration person Hong Xiguan.

After hearing Hu Huigan's words, it is no wonder that Hong Xiguan (1), who was already over middle age at this time, couldn't help but tremble in his voice. Because Zhang Rui's siege speed was too fast, it was completely beyond the expectations of Hong Xiguan and others.

They thought about how the Qing army could be stalemate for a few days, especially when they heard that Zhang Rui had only brought more than 10,000 horses this time.

Although the Qing army had taken away a lot of defenders before, their defenders in Guangzhou City still had more than 3,000 horses.

In addition to the 3,000 city defenders, the other forces had 1,000 men. Not only that, but they were able to gather a lot of dog thieves to help them defend the city, which added up to a lot of people.

However, Guangzhou City still has high city walls and all kinds of perfect city defense equipment, and no one will think that the bandit army can take Guangzhou City in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of the fact that the Qing army still has a lot of strength, so many anti-Qing people in the city do not dare to act rashly.

As the old saying goes: good steel has to stay on the blade.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhang Rui ordered the attack on Guangzhou City, the city of Guangzhou was quiet. Because all the anti-Qing people were waiting, waiting for the Qing soldiers defending the city to strike again at the difficult moment when they were inseparable from the bandit army, and give them a fatal blow.

However, everything happened so suddenly that they didn't dare to think about it.

They were still discussing how to kill the city wall, and when they opened the city gate for the bandit army outside the city, it was reported outside the gate that the bandit army had captured the city of Guangzhou.

Although it is a little deflated that they can't help, it also proves the strength of the bandit army, which makes them feel that this is since the surname of the country, and in the past few decades, they have once again seen the hope of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring sight.

Although the bandit army did not raise the slogan of "restoring sight", so what?

They are the kings of the Han family, they propose the government of benevolence, they restore the Han family's clothes and mounds, and this is enough, this is what they want to "Ming".

What's more, there are rumors on the side of the Heaven and Earth Society that Zhang Liuge's mother is very likely to be the great-great-granddaughter of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the specific situation of the Heaven and Earth Society has not been revealed too much, one thing is not particularly certain, and the other is that if this matter is true, they still need to protect the last trace of Emperor Xiaolie's bloodline.

Even so, this slightest hint of revelation is enough for the anti-Qing people to feel incomparable hope and enthusiasm.

Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty once said that "Hu people have no national fortune for a hundred years", and now a hundred years are coming. Now there is a rumor on the street: "Hu Yun's difficulty is a hundred years long, and there are six after the heavy eight." The clear water will extinguish the fire again, and the sun and the moon will shine forever on the land of China. ”

If Sixth Brother Zhang really has the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, isn't all this in line with the prophecy?

Don't look at the Tartar emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, they often go to worship the Ming Tomb. Even if the Ming Tomb is now occupied by the Tartars to worship, the feng shui of the Ming Tomb is to protect the people of the family after all.

"Yes, Brother Hong. The sixth brother's men and horses have entered the city of Guangzhou, and now they are coming here. You can listen to it in a moment, and you can wait until you hear it. At this moment, Hu Huigan, one of the Ten Tigers of Shaolin, has completely lost his composure.

The anti-Qing people who followed Hong Xiguan all quieted down after listening to Hu Huigan, only to see a faint voice on the street at this time: "Those who descend will not die, and the people will avoid it." ”

"Really, I didn't expect the sixth brother's bandit army to be so powerful. Is the Qing soldier so easy to kill? After hearing this, Fang Shiyu couldn't help but say it.

Fang Shiyu's words made the more than 100 anti-Qing people present in the courtyard agree with each other, they also fought with the Manchu dog soldiers in private, and they didn't think they were treated well!

"Shiyu, it's not that the Manchu dog soldiers are powerful, everything is a bit providential." Hong Xiguan was in a good mood and said to him

Fang Shiyu listened to Hong Xiguan's words and didn't understand a little, what does this have to do with the will of heaven? Fang Shiyu was confused when he heard it.

In fact, not only Fang Shiyu, except for a very few people who have heard about Zhang Rui's life experience in private, almost no one will think of this aspect.

"You'll find out later." Hong Xiguan walked up to Fang Shiyu with a smile on his face and patted Fang Shiyu's shoulder, compared to Hong Xiguan, Fang Shiyu was much shorter.

"Then Brother Hong, are we going to go out now to help the bandit army and kill some Manchu dog soldiers?" Fang Shiyu asked

"No need, looking at the situation outside, we're just doing a disservice when we go out, let's go out again after the city is calmed! I just don't know if the people outside the city can catch a few Manchu dog officials. Hong Xiguan said indignantly

"It should be possible..."

Zhang Rui did not know what was happening in the city of Guangzhou, and in the cheers of the people watching outside the city, Zhang Rui began to enter the city of Guangzhou.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky were blown out by the wind, and a ray of sunlight shone down.

The people watching from the mountains outside the city could not help but be shocked by this scene when they looked at this scene. One of the people involuntarily changed from cheering to kneeling and shouting: "Long live, long live, long live." ”

Along with it, the people around him followed suit, as if if not kneeling down and chanting at this moment would be like seeing God and not worshipping. There are one and there are two, and so do many people.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray..."

A surging shout was delivered.

Zhang Rui, who suddenly felt the dazzling light of the strong sunlight, heard this sound, so he used his hand to block the light that was shining on his eyes in front of him.

Looking at the people shouting on the mountain not far away, he seemed to say to the people around him, as if he was talking to himself: "What's wrong with them? ”

Note (1): The information of Hongxi's official Shiyu in Baidu Encyclopedia is very messy, and there are many contradictions. Here Hong Xiguan and Fang Shiyu are the Ten Tigers of Shaolin in Guangdong, Fang Shiyu was born in 1739 (the fourth year of Qianlong), and Hong Xiguan was born in the early years of Daoguang from the age of ninety-three to the early years of Daoguang, and it is concluded that Hong Xiguan was born in Yongzheng four years.

Hong Xiguan Dafang Shiyu was twelve years old. Hong Xiguan may have studied under Cai Jiuyi, but Fang Shiyu should not have studied under Cai Jiuyi, and it is impossible for them to experience Kangxi's burning of Southern Shaolin. The information of film and television dramas is also messy, and here it is calculated based on some possible documents in Baidu Encyclopedia.
