"Actually, foolish brother has a lot of words, you will offend people by doing this."

After listening to Chen Kai's request, Chen Qice was stunned at first, and the expression on his face changed slightly. Immediately, he sighed and said this sentence from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Chen Kai understood, understood what Chen Qice was referring to, and even more understood that Chen Qice was able to say this. In this regard, he also nodded and expressed his sincere gratitude for this one. Then, he said bluntly: "Brother Hongshi, in the current situation, how big the difference can be between me offending those guys and not offending them." ”

"This ......"

As Chen Kai said, there are already interests involved in this, and it is not something that can be solved by talking about it at all. Chen Qice, who is sandwiched between these two parties, is inextricably linked to both parties.

Chen Kai naturally thought of this, and simply told Chen Qice that he didn't need to come forward, and only said that it was the agreement of the year, and now he can fulfill the agreement, and he doesn't need to do anything else.

"So ......" Speaking of this, Chen Qice pondered for a moment, and the word "but" was clearly written on his face, obviously hesitating for this. But after a blink of an eye, before Chen Kai could speak, he had already made a decision: "It's done, what else do you need to do with the foolish brother, just say it!" ”

This is a statement, Chen Kai heard it, and nodded heavily, and then said: "Maybe in a few days, Brother Hongshi will need to attend a ceremony." ”

In the restaurant here, the two of them drank together, and the restaurant was emptied in advance, and there were also two people's guards and personal soldiers around to protect it. This is the purest place on Henan Island - the city of Guangzhou has been closed since the reconquest, and only the army can enter. The new city is still the same, but the old city is empty, just waiting for the people to return to the city, so as not to cause any disputes or public security incidents if people are released into the city in advance.

Under such circumstances, the people who originally lived in Guangzhou City were naturally looking forward to it, especially as the people who returned from Chaozhou entered the city one after another in the past two days, the news spread quickly on the ground of Guangzhou Prefecture, and a large number of people poured into Guangzhou City every day, demanding to return to their hometowns. However, due to the inevitable phenomenon of good and bad, the doors are still closed, and screening points are set up here on Henan Island to eliminate those who want to get through the tricks, and the people who have passed the verification can enter the city.

The reason why it is so troublesome is that on the one hand, it is to alleviate the subsequent disputes, and on the other hand, many people have been in exile for four years, and the house deed, land deed and so on have long been gone, which is not uncommon among the people who have returned from Chaozhou, let alone fallen into the area controlled by the Qing army. After entering the city and determining the location of the house, the government had to remake the house deed and land title deed to restore normal order. In this way, it is natural to be more cautious in screening in order to prevent someone from fraudulently obtaining valuable real estate such as house deeds and title deeds.

There is a placement camp at the screening point, and the main camp is entered according to the batch. When it was time for identification and verification, some people who had already entered the city sent representatives, including Li Zheng, to screen them, and at the same time, the government verified them based on the records, and always made sure that nothing went wrong.

The scene of reunion is constantly staged at the screening point on the island, and occasionally a few indiscriminate people will be beaten out by the Ming army. At this stage, it is only those few alleys that have entered the city, and the others need to continue to wait. However, Chen Kai confirmed that he was doing this, in fact, he was also showing an attitude, that is, the people of Guangzhou who were able to return to the city were not only those who went to Chaozhou, but also those who were able to escape alive also enjoyed this treatment.

With such an attitude, the people of Guangzhou who were displaced by the war naturally cheered, and the island and the city were full of praise for Chen Kai's good governance.

A few days later, Chen's fleet arrived at the Chengnan Wharf in Guangzhou. These boats escorted the more than 10,000 Guangzhou people who rescued Chen Kai to Hong Kong back then, but stayed with Chen Qice because they did not want to leave their hometowns.

The boat slowly sailed into the dock, and the boatman pulled the rope and tied it firmly to the bollard. The pallet was put away, and the officer took the lead to get off the ship with his own soldiers, and then with a scolding, a group of ragged people poured out of the boat, looking at the towering city wall in front of them, silent for a long time.

Tears flowed down the ravines and traces on the face. Before they could cry, the Ming army was scolding and urging behind, and these people hurriedly walked off the pallet. It's just that when I really stepped on the ground of the Guangzhou wharf, it was difficult to suppress the cry like a world away, and even fell directly to the ground, crying bitterly.

It is not as good as going to Chaozhou, although it is said that it has been away from home for several years, but Chaozhou has land, and there is also the care of the government above, and the Ming army believes that they are as deep as the sea with the Qing army, and they have recruited a large number of soldiers in it, so they will take care of it. But after following Chen Qice, he went to Shangxiachuan Island, which were just two small islands in the Guangdong Sea, where there were ordinary people, and Chen Qice's sailors had been stationed there for a long time, and suddenly there were more than 10,000 people, in such a resource-poor place, even if there was no exploitation by the officers, starvation and cold, it was the least.

The people who cried softly and fell to the ground soon ushered in the whipping of the Ming army, it is said that this is what they Chen Dashuai and Chen Fujun discussed, but these guys, here are embarrassed, I don't know how to think they have been abused, this is where their Dashuai's face should be placed.

After a long period of accumulation, these people heard the sound of the leather whip, and they quickly stood up one by one by supporting each other. This time, Chen Kai was not in the city, only there were some officials in Yongqingmen with the Ming army, the two sides completed the handover, the fleet began to sail back, and those people acted according to the instructions of the officials.

After four years of hunger and cold, tattered clothes rested on the skinny body, and when the wind moved, large swaths of skin would be exposed. If you look closely, it is gray, almost unwashed soil; Bruised, perhaps whip marks, perhaps prominent tendons. The staggering steps drove the rickety waist, and the hands were swinging tiredly, but there was no long thing, and there were few burdens and belongings.

Such a situation is not uncommon in many areas controlled by the Ming army. Since the Qing army entered the customs, it has occupied a large area of plastered land, and the Ming army and the righteous army have been squeezed to remote courtyards such as islands and mountains, and continue to persist by taking advantage of the geographical advantage. In this case, the resources harvested are very few, and for the future counteroffensive operations, it is necessary to maximize the limited resources invested in those elite troops. As for the ordinary people, they worked hard, but the harvest was little, poverty was inevitable, and some of them who could not survive simply managed to escape to the areas controlled by the Qing army, and kept braids to be good citizens.

The reality is as it is, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, at this moment they were undoubtedly the lucky ones, and when they passed through the cave of the city gate of Yongqing Gate, the streets and alleys of the city jumped into view, and the old past welled up in their hearts, and tears fell down, but they no longer mourned, but wept with joy, because they were already in this city.

"I used to live in the south of the city, and when I stood on the side, someone would take you home according to the alleys. If you live in the old city, continue to walk with the official, and then divide the alley after the south gate. ”

The city wall is a natural barrier. The ranks of tens of thousands of people also shrank to a certain extent after a burst of shouting from the officials. The family lived in the old city, followed the officials and continued to move forward, and went straight to the south gate. Those who live in the new town stand by the side of the road and watch the others go on.

"Don't look at it, when you go back to the city, you have time to contact you after you have acquaintances, and you sleep together every day, and no one cares about you when you live together. Now, gather all the officials here, hurry up! ”

After the seemingly boundless brigade, the officials gathered the crowd and began to call the names of the alleys, asking the remaining people to stand on the side of a certain official and wait for the people to be cleaned, and then they took them to each alley.

This kind of work seems simple, but four years have passed, some people can't remember it clearly, screaming and screaming, and some suddenly remember that they actually live in the old city, and sometimes there are people from the old city who come back from the south gate, messy, but it doesn't delay the effort.

Gradually, a group began to walk towards the alleys, one of them approaching, and there was a soup kitchen in the distance. They hadn't eaten much when they came, and after tossing for so long, they were already hungry, and as soon as they smelled the smell of rice porridge, even a young man rushed over.

"Oops."

Before the young man could rush closer, a tall Ming army pushed him two or three meters away, and fell heavily on the bluestone road, even if he cried out in pain.

At this time, accompanied by the reprimand of the Ming army, it was a small official in the queue, who rushed to the front, saying that this was a newcomer and did not understand the rules, so with the acquiescence of the Ming army, he grabbed the young man's ear and walked away.

"You bastard, don't die. In the army, ramming into the queue is the capital punishment of the execution! ”

In the meantime, it is not in the army, but intimidation is the least necessary. The characters who can be small officials are all grassroots people, and they have their own set of skills to see people and things. The group of people got off the boat, and they knew at a glance that they were a group of people who would let themselves fly without a whip and had no regard for discipline.

In the final analysis, it is one thing to have a leather whip in the army, and there is no restraint without power and suppression. And people like them who have been to Chaozhou at the beginning, just said that during the period of Hong Kong Island, they had to queue up to receive food, and if they wanted to get a card, they would be dragged out by the Ming army and beaten up, which one dared to make a mistake casually. A few days ago, those people returned to Guangzhou, and they were in good order from beginning to end.

"When you go back to your respective alleys, the official will only tell you where to wait to get the porridge. If you dare to run out casually, be careful! ”

………………

In the city of Guangzhou, the population of the city is increasing day by day. It is impossible to restore to the scale of more than 700,000 before the slaughter, because most of them have already turned into the skeletons of the common mound outside the east gate. However, those who survived are constantly returning to their homeland to bring it back to life.

"The bamboo battalion is still left to those high-ranking commanders. At this stage, everything is based on stability, and we will talk about what we will do when we completely control the city of Guangzhou. ”

Commanding things here, Chen Kai continued to walk towards the camp outside the city. The news of Chen Qice's return of the more than 10,000 people in Guangzhou soon spread among the Ming army and the righteous army in Zhaoqing Mansion.

According to rumors, it is said that Chen Qice had an agreement with Chen Kai that he would return those Guangzhou people when he recovered the city of Guangzhou, so that they could return to their homeland. Such a statement is still believed when it smells a lot, because many people know that Chen Qice was born as a small official in Panyu County in his early years, and he is a native of his hometown, and he will always leave some room for doing things, so as not to be scolded by the villagers in the future by the villagers.

However, in addition to the return, it also mentions that Chen Kai gave Chen Qice a large amount of subsidies on a head-by-head basis. It is said that these subsidies are grain. And now, after a year of war in western Guangdong, last year's summer and autumn grain production was basically abolished, and the autumn tax naturally had no hope, and this year, Guangzhou was recovered, but there was inevitably a grain shortage on the ground in western Guangdong for a while. This is like the time when the Lu Jian Dynasty made a big fuss in Fujian, and the Qing army suppressed it in the next year, but the food shortage was inevitable, and it caused the Tong'an blood ditch in history. Compared with Fujian, which is a grain-producing province, Guangdong is always much better, but short-term hunger is inevitable.

This phenomenon is the same for them, but it is completely different for the prefectures and counties controlled by Chen Kai - Chaozhou and Qiongzhou have been in business for many years, and they have not suffered military disasters last year. In the counties east of Huizhou and Guangzhou, the intensity of the battle between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties was also very low, and large-scale wars broke out in Xinhui County in the west of Guangzhou.

Earlier, these generals didn't think about asking Chen Kai for some assistance or something. However, on the one hand, due to the filthiness between the civil official clique in western Guangdong and Chen Kai, on the other hand, Chen Kai has been talking about the grain shortage in Fujian recently, making it clear that he does not intend to give them a chance to speak. But this time, there are more or less some Guangzhou people in their army who were displaced in a foreign land after the war, but it is a great opportunity.

"Subsidies are OK, but one stone of food for one person is impossible. If you don't believe it, you can ask Chen Linghai, the subsidy given to Chen Linghai by this official is 20 catties of grain for each Guangzhou citizen. You asked for such a price, the official agreed, and Chen Linghai will be subsidized in the future. To put it bluntly, the grain of this official is not conjured, and the warehouses in Chaozhou and Qiongzhou have been exhausted in the past few years......"

Chen Kaiyang said it in a sprinkled manner, it is nothing more than a sentence, one person, twenty catties of grain, this is a fixed price, and it will never be returned. However, unlike Chen Qice, who has more than 10,000 people in Guangzhou, there are not so many of these Ming troops in his hands, and the most is Wang Xing, who has two or three thousand people in his hands, which is already a huge number. As for the others, there are three or four hundred, and there are only a dozen or so few, and they can't get anything at all.

"Chen Fujun, after raising those people for four years, how much does it cost for a year, we have to speak with our conscience."

"That is, eating, drinking, and Lazar, isn't it all money? On weekdays, we are the king's master, and it is incumbent on us to take care of the people in distress, but isn't there a food shortage now, the whole of Guangdong knows that you have enough food in your hands now, is it difficult to see us starve to death? ”

There are many people here who are venting their dissatisfaction, and there are also some people who are secretly scolding Chen Qice for not asking for a sky-high price, which makes them fall so inferior in the negotiations. However, most of them also know that Chen Qice has received Chen Kai's water master assistant subsidy to live all these years, even if there is no friendship between the two, it is also a typical example of eating people with short hands, where will there be too much subsidy.

A group of Ming army generals were still clamoring, but Chen Kai was no longer patient, so he slapped the table directly and shouted to those Ming army generals: "Twenty catties of grain for one person, just this amount, and the price will not be returned!" ”
