The sudden change made the fleet set off quickly, and compared to the previous time, Chen Kai had no intention of operating there for a long time, but only reported the intention of reducing the population loss of Guangzhou as much as possible. But this time, he thought very clearly, the recovery of Guangzhou is to start from there!

The fleet went all the way to the west, still crossing the coastal area of Huizhou, which was nothing more than no need to enter the Lingding Ocean. Sailing on the sea, the sky is clear during the day, the moon and stars are sparse after nightfall, the wind and water are smooth, almost in a blink of an eye, and after a few days, they are not far from there.

In Hong Kong, Chen Kai packed up the people of Guangzhou and brought them back to Chaozhou, leaving behind a few ships and a stronghold, which soon became a transit point for maritime trade between the Zheng group and the Ming army in western Guangdong, such as Chen Qice, Li Yuantai, Li Jianjie, Zhang Yue, and the Portuguese in Macao.

By the time Chen Kai and his entourage arrived, there were almost zero merchant ships, but there were a bunch of dilapidated and seriously undermaintained ships on the wharf, including warships, merchant ships, and even fishing boats.

There was an extra Ming army like beggars, Chen Kai didn't care, the fleet docked in the port, and the sailors disembarked to cooperate with the port personnel to maintain discipline. And the "gang leader" of the group of "beggar gang disciples" also came out of the crowd, without putting this "gang leader" on the shelf of more than a year ago.

"Lin Hou and Chen join the army."

"Uncle Li."

The dejected guy in front of him, if it weren't for the report written by the stronghold officer in advance, Chen Kai would not have been able to recognize this high-spirited An Su Bo Li Jianjie in Guangzhou City at first glance.

"How so?"

The dove occupies the official office, and Chen Kai is really puzzled by Li Jianjie's state at the moment. It was Li Jianjie, but he smiled bitterly, "It's down", and then there was another sigh, and Chen Kai felt that the word desolation was oozing from his skin to his bones.

As far as Chen Kai knew, after the fall of Guangzhou, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao carried out a large-scale sweep of the Ming army in western Guangdong. First Zhaoqing Mansion, then Luoding Prefecture, and then Gaolian Leiqiong Four Mansions, especially Gaozhou Mansion, Lianzhou Mansion and Leizhou Mansion, which are connected to other prefectures and counties by land, were naturally attacked by the Qing army.

The Ming army soon lost all the prefectures and counties of these three prefectures, and retreated to the mountains, islands, and poor countryside that the Qing army could not reach for a while. However, with that unprecedented water battle on the Pearl River in history, Chen Kai, together with Lin Cha, Zhou Rui, Hong Xu, Chen Qice and others, almost completely annihilated the Qing army's Guangdong naval division.

That's all he knows. Looking at Li Jianjie's decadence here, the two were silent for a moment, and only after another sigh did Li Jianjie tell Chen Kai about the deterioration of the battlefield in western Guangdong for more than a year.

“…… Originally, with the destruction of Qiongzhou Island and the Tartars' sailors, our brothers repeatedly set out from Qiongzhou to sweep the prefectures and counties, and fought a few battles with the Tartars......"

At that time, the Ming army in Qiongzhou felt like the Dongjiang Army and Zheng Chenggong in history, guarding the island and relying on the strait, so as to block the iron hooves of the Qing army, and then attack everywhere with naval divisions. The Dongjiang Army crisscrossed the Liaohai, Zheng Chenggong swept the southeast, and the Ming army in Qiongzhou entrusted Chen Kai's blessing, and also raided the Qing army everywhere according to the gourd painting.

However, there will always be a day when good days come to an end. In the first half of this year, probably tired of eating the coconut of Qiongzhou, it is more likely that after being handed over by Chen Kaiyin, he lost the last patience with this governor who abandoned the city and fled and recovered his incompetence.

When evacuating from Guangzhou, Chen Kaiyin made that hand, so that Du Yong and Ben did not catch many boats. Unexpectedly, at the same time as the Qing Dynasty, Du Yonghe also hooked up with his fellow countryman Wu Wenwen and others, Wu Wenwen's sailors did not suffer any damage in the Pearl River water battle, and at the same time they also carried a Qing army to the island, and the Qing army had a foothold in Qiongzhou Mansion, and began to encroach on the territory of the Ming army step by step. These Ming troops were mostly defeated by the Qing army, and the fear, coupled with the weak strength, did not take long for the Qing army to gain a decisive advantage, and several large Ming troops were scattered and fled.

“…… Chen Senjun, you were right, Du Yonghe is a guts rat. After the Tartars were surrendered, they followed the Tartars to fight with us, and after a few days, even Zhang Yue's Tartars were surrendered. Then, the eldest brother died in battle, the whereabouts of the fourth brother are unknown, I was going to die with the eldest brother, but the eldest brother told him earlier, if he dies, I want to avenge him, I think that Shang Kexi has eaten deflated in the hands of your Chen Senjun all these years, so I came to you specially! ”

Revenge, this is a legitimate reason, and the history in Chen Kai's memory is obviously not like this. If he is not mistaken, it should have been Li Yuanyin who was accidentally captured in Qinzhou at that time, and then Li Jianjie died together, and Li Yuantai was missing. And Du Yonghe was already hesitating, and as soon as he heard that Li Yuanyin was captured, he immediately fell over. As for Zhang Yue, it seems that he was placed in the Gaozhou Mansion to assist him when he descended to the Qing Dynasty earlier than them.

Because he mixed too much in the battle in Guangzhou, especially the layout after the war, although the overall direction of the development of the battlefield in western Guangdong has not changed, there have been great differences in the details.

Chen Kai pondered carefully about the chain reaction that these differences would bring, and did not show any attitude for a while. But at this moment, Li Jianjie, who was still holding on to his eyes, had bloodshot eyes, and fell directly to the ground, and after knocking his head a few times, he cried blood to Chen Kai and said: "I think very clearly, there is only one sentence, if you can avenge your father-in-law, for your eldest brother, and for your fourth brother, my life Li Wu is yours!" ”

His father-in-law Li Chengdong and eldest brother Li Yuanyin both died at the hands of the Qing army, but the fourth brother Li Yuantai was nowhere to be found. Whether he died in the chaos and could no longer find the body, or died in some corner of the place, or lived in seclusion, in fact, it is difficult to say, but Li Jianjie still firmly believes that Li Yuantai must die at the hands of the Qing army, which shows his deep brotherhood and hatred for the Qing court.

Li Jianjie's statement really startled Chen Kai, but if you think about it carefully, it is not too surprising - just ask, if a brother is captured, he can go to the Qing army camp alone, just to be able to die together, and not to make his brother lonely and impassioned on the Huangquan Road, so at this moment, it really does not need to be too surprised.

"I won't hide it from you, Uncle Li, at the end of last year, I made an appointment with the people of Guangzhou for three years to recover Guangzhou. Suppose I can't do it, what will happen to the people who have received my life-saving grace, but what about you, Uncle Li? ”

Chen Kai asked, Li Jianjie stood up, looked directly at Chen Kai's gaze, and shouted: "If you can't do it, you have to pay me back with your head and use your head to pay it back!" ”

"Very good, then my Chen Kai will accept your life."

At this moment, proudly answered. Just at this moment, it seemed that Chen Kai's deep self-confidence was revealed outside his body, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in light.
