The fleet went down the river and arrived at Nansha Island, where Chen Kai was in charge, and Lin Cha, Zhou Rui, Hong Xu and Chen Qice worked hard to transport the people. When they returned from Hong Kong Island, Chen Kai boarded the ship again and went to the last transit point on Hong Kong Island with the people stranded in Nansha.

When Chen Kai arrived, it was already early the next morning. Last night, the people who had arrived earlier had already entered the camp, and the tents were distributed and camping had been allocated simple houses to rest. Today, when the last group of people arrives, there is no need for Chen Kai to worry about it, and the officials and officials he brought are responsible.

"Settled in the same square, those who live in which square they live in will go to which square to report. In the area allocated to each square, there is a sign, and you can find it according to the sign. ”

"From the champion fang, from the champion fang."

"Is there any Yuhuafang, Yuhuafang, live together so that they can take care of each other."

“……”

In accordance with their respective directions, the people continued to divert from the crowded wharf and reclassified them into the original grass-roots administrative system with Lijia as the unit.

Living with neighbors in the same lane, taking care of each other, being able to psychologically be able to be with acquaintances will also be much more stable, and the problem of unfamiliar life will be at least half less. At the time of departure, Chen Kaiwan couldn't take care of this, but now, it must be so, because with the transportation capacity of the Ming army, it must be a fool's dream to transport all the people back to Chaozhou in one go, and it is not realistic at all. Many of them need to stay in Hong Kong for a while before they can completely leave the confines of Canton Prefecture.

"It's done, this time it's a lot of money."

"What do you mean by that?"

Outside is still in various places, and when it comes to the big tent of the Chinese army, Hong Xu took out the account book, pointed to the text on it and said: "The treasury silver of the Guangzhou Domain, a total of more than 118,600 taels, is that the account book of the Domain Treasury seems to be a little wrong, it seems that it is not all treasury silver, there may be some other silver placed here, under the banner of treasury silver." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Chen Kai's eyes rolled, and he recalled that it seemed that those senior civil officials seemed to be resisting very fiercely, and then showed a meaningful smile.

"Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. That's not much. ”

Having said this, Hong Xu was a little clear, just smiled slightly, and then revealed it. But there is one thing that he is a little worried about, in fact, there is nothing to worry about, but Chen Kai left a text with a seal, if this matter is brought to the court, it will always be bad anyway.

"You really don't have to pay back this silver?"

"Don't worry, Du Yonghe has no face to come to us for it. If he really has the face to ask for it, then drag it until he has no face. ”

"That's good, that's good."

The matter of the silver is over, Chen Kai really didn't pull out much from the city, the ship is full of people, and everyone's baggage is their own, so it is not easy for him to collect it. It's a boat, but it still got a lot, and Hong Xu is a little envious.

"On our trip, the Marquis of Fuming, the Marquis of Min'an, and I have brought four hundred and thirty-six large and small ships. Most of the ships of Lin Hou and Zhou Hou were warships, and the ones I brought were basically merchant ships carrying goods. It turned out that there were a total of more than 800 merchant ships and fishing boats you got from Guangzhou this time, and this is not counting the ones you gave to Du Yonghe and Zhang Yue, as well as the fleet of the captive division, which is faster than we built ourselves. ”

Xu Long and Sheng Dengke were awarded the head, and the fleet of the Qing army entering the main channel of the Pearl River was almost completely annihilated. After all, Guangzhou Yiyong can still play some home advantage in the water, and he would never dare to think about jumping.

However, the ships that gave Du Yonghe and Zhang Yue are all the kind of ships and ships that can carry more than 100 people. In this way, the 800 or so large and small boats that Chen Kai collected, in fact, the water of the small boats is going to be quite huge, and many Hong Xu, who is not very well maintained, no longer plan to bring them back, so they are used here as fishing boats, and they are not maintained.

"Hey, people are governors, I'm a small prefect, I can't afford to provoke, I can't afford to provoke."

In terms of official positions, it seems that even Zheng Chenggong is afraid that it is useless. The two looked at each other and smiled, but neither of them really took Du Yong and the phoenix who had fallen on the shelf, and soon turned to more practical problems.

"I have roughly estimated that the number of people you brought to Hong Kong Island this time will not be less than 100,000. Among them, there are more than 31,400 military households, and the rest are civilian households. In addition, in Nansha Island and Henan Island, there are still a large number of people fleeing on their own, and this number is likely to be more than what we have shipped, or even much more. ”

What Hong Xu said was true, Chen Kai came to open the floodgates and release the water with one hand this time, not to mention the side, the people of the Four Guards and the new city all fled, and even the people in the old city escaped too much. Although it is likely that this number is still greater than the number of people who have not been slaughtered and the people who are about to be slaughtered, this is still two or three hundred thousand lives, and it is really not a joke.

"It's too much, and Chaozhou can't digest it. Hey, it's estimated that these 100,000 are all labor. ”

Chaozhou is so big, and Zheng Chenggong doesn't seem to be very smooth on the battlefield in southern Fujian. This is something that can't be helped, Lu Jianguo went to Zhejiang, the power of Zheng Cai and Zheng Lian brothers was almost wiped out, and Zheng Hongkui was still in Chaozhou, so Zheng Chenggong was a little too conspicuous, attracting too much attention from the Fujian Qing army, and the pressure increased dramatically.

Hong Xu is very worried about the carrying capacity of the land in the existing occupied area, and even Chen Kai, although he has made an idea earlier, he has not really turned the idea into reality for a day, and he can't completely put his mind at ease.

"It's okay, there's always a way, let's hurry up and get away."

"It's not difficult to get it, but you have everything ready, and the gap is very large, so it's not impossible to make do. But no matter how you calculate it, it will take at least two boats to transport people to Chaozhou. ”

"It's okay twice, then let the soldiers repair it in the next two days, come back and prepare to take the Fang Lane as a unit, and draw lots in public to decide the priority."

"Well, that's all."

After a morning's work, the people all got off the boat and went to the area divided by their respective alleys. There are acquaintances all around, and my apprehension has been cut a little. In the afternoon, the actual data was summarized through the statistics of the various alleys, responsible officials and officials, and sent directly to Chen Kai.

"One hundred and twenty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-seven people, Uncle Hong, is it enough to transport it twice?"

"Yes, maybe."

Men and women are different from each other, with different body types, and the size of the burden as a household item is not uniform, and it is impossible for Hong Xu to concretize the number of people that each ship can carry. Compared with their earlier estimates, there were nearly 30,000 more people, which had to make Chen Kai and others feel a huge pressure.

By the evening, things were generally arranged, and it was only a few days before the execution could begin. Before it was time to eat, Chen Kai simply left the official room and went to inspect the camp.

In later generations, the so-called central area of Victoria Harbour was dotted with bonfires, dotted with this beautiful harbor that was naturally carved and not half ingenious. The porridge field in the camp is the same as last night and today, the people have become accustomed to queuing to receive it, everything is running as usual, and the food brought by Chen Kai has begun to play an effective role to maintain their livelihood, but the quantity cannot last too long, and the people must be transported back to Chaozhou as soon as possible.

Thinking about these things, Chen Kai walked on the road between the two large camps, constantly observing the surrounding people's livelihood. It's just that his satisfied smile just surfaced in his eyes, and not far away, an old man who was about to arrive in the queue inadvertently turned his head to look, and then jumped out of the queue and rushed to Chen Kai at a trot.

"Governor Chen's Mansion lives the people of Guangzhou, and has great merits in the world, and the little old man wishes the Governor of Chen's Mansion all generations and a long life!"

The old man knelt down in front of Chen Kai all of a sudden, and while praising loudly, he kowtowed, and even in his voice, the sound of whimpering was set off.

"This is what this official should do, the old man must not be like this, must not be like this."

As he spoke, Chen Kai stretched out his hand to help, but the old man refused to get up at all. At this moment, the people who noticed the situation here also put down what they were doing and poured over like a tide. And the sound of blessing is like the waves of the sea, rushing to the face.
