Chapter 105: Goodbye (4)
After chatting about the differences, when they separated, it seemed that Shandong had not yet come out. Chen Kai walked on the way back to the courtyard, but he couldn't help but show a little smile on the corner of his mouth.
This feeling, for him, perhaps, is precisely because every time he is with this young girl, he always has the illusion of returning to his school days, as if he will be addicted, prompting his mind to flash a certain moment of meeting from time to time.
"It seems that today it is time to talk about Nanzhili, hey, Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres."
Chen Kai couldn't help sighing, he was really a little reluctant to talk to this girl about these heavy topics, but there were some things in it that she could understand well. Or, in fact, even if he doesn't talk about it, is she really ignorant of the blood and fire in Anping Town two and a half years ago, I'm afraid that it is because of that that that she will want to know more.
"Well, it's a bit of a talent or something at the end. For example, Liu Ruyi, Chen Zilong and Qian Qianyi's troubled choices and love triangles are very interesting. ”
His mind was full of the smart shadow, and even Chen Kai had already come up with the idea of telling the little girl about his glorious deeds of "gentlemen are frank and dandan, villains hide chickens" on the mountain road, but he was afraid that he would be regarded as a hooligan by the girl, so he had to put away the idea of showing the "gentleman's style".
In this way, the work efficiency has inevitably declined, but fortunately, many things have been on the right track, and Chen Kai's biggest workload now has become the preparation of mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks for the school affiliated to the Ordnance Bureau.
Those things, in mathematics, Chen Kai knows "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and last time he bought a few copies in Chaozhou, such as "Taixi Arithmetic", "Western Miscellaneous Works" or something, but unfortunately, he has been thinking about the "Geometric Original" and "Measurement Law" but did not collect, it is really a pity. In addition, Song Yingxing's "Heavenly Creation" and Fang Yizhi's "Physics Knowledge" are very easy to find, especially the former, which makes Chen Kai sigh at the ability to destroy books in "Siku Quanshu".
One day, Chen Kai was constantly distracted preparing teaching materials, and it was easy to get up to the next value, and he hurried to the small garden. Only this time, the girl didn't arrive earlier than him.
"I chatted with my sister-in-law, the concubine is late, and I hope Chen joins the army for forgiveness."
There are some gains and losses in his heart, Rao is Chen Kai, who has always been sensible, and the moment he saw the girl coming in a hurry, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, it's okay."
The conversation soon began, but today's topic is a bit heavy, and it stands to reason that it can be omitted, but those heavy stories are something that Chen Kai can't omit. After all, that's a million lives.
“…… Walking into Yangzhou City, the marks of blood stains on the city wall abound, the storefronts on both sides of the street are still empty, and even the gate is in tatters and falls to the ground, allowing the fox squirrels to chase and flee there, and there is even a no-one shop on the ground, the dry bones are placed there, and no one restricts. ”
"I heard that the Tartars bombarded Yangzhou City with Hongyi cannons, and the army entered and slaughtered the city for ten days, which can be said to kill people when they see them, regardless of men, women and children. It is said that the man was fine, but he went down with a knife, and the Tartars hurried to collect gold and silver goods. But woman, after the adultery, the Tartar will cut off the intimate parts as booty, and pile them up like a hill......"
Speaking of this, the girl had already covered her small mouth, and her eyes were as big as water, but they were full of horror, and even her body was trembling slightly.
Chen Kai has not seen such a tragedy with his own eyes, but he has seen too much in books such as "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou". It was an unforgettable pain of the Chinese nation, just like the Nanjing Massacre, but there were always some people with ulterior motives in later generations, but they still kept denying these facts under the banner of national unity. Such remarks still exist in China, and even have the momentum of popularity, so how can we condemn Japan's atrocities of aggression against China?
"Why don't you be a lackey and sell the fifty states of China. Please read the textbook, how many heroes are famous? ”
It's not supposed to be this way. The backbone of a nation is precisely those heroes who chose to fight to the death in the face of powerful enemies or would rather die under coercion and temptation, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Zhang Huangyan, Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, and Zheng Chenggong who he chose to follow at this stage.
On the 10th of Yangzhou, the Nanjing Massacre, the soldiers defending the city did not resist to the death, even if not everyone, they could not change anything, but they were just as well deserved.
A small city in Jiangyin held out for eighty-one days with hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, even more than the men, women, and children in the city combined. Those Shengdou people in Jiangyin, like Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun, are the heroes of the Chinese nation, and they are the ones who defend the only remaining dignity of a glorious civilization that is about to be colonized by foreign races!
Speaking of which, I originally wanted to talk about Chen Kai, who was going to dilute this heaviness, but I couldn't say it anymore. In the small pavilion, Chen Kai fell into silence, and the girl gradually recovered from the panic.
"Hopefully, there will never be such a tragedy in this world."
"I'm afraid, it's impossible. Even, perhaps, in the near future, a huge city will be slaughtered by the Tartars. ”
Chen Kai said this faintly, the traverser has a prescient view of history, which is a good thing, but in the face of those powerless tragedies, it is not a good thing. Because the clearer he knew, the more intense the pain would be, at least Chen Kai was not ruthless enough to ignore the slaughter of his compatriots.
"Last year, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren in Jiangxi Province were going to open up the South Jiangxi Road and connect it with Guangdong. However, under the city, the main force of the Tartars went south to suppress it, and the two had to retreat to Nanchang and defend the provincial capital. In September last year, Li Chengdong led his army to attack Nanjiang, also to help Nanchang relieve the siege, but the army was defeated and returned the next month. Some time ago, I heard that Li Chengdong sent troops again, but if you think about it carefully, how long Nanchang has been under siege, I am afraid that even if Li Chengdong can take Nanjiang, when he arrives in Nanchang, he will only have to pay tribute to the people of Nanchang. ”
The girl is just a girl and knows nothing about these things. Chen Kai told the story, shocked, unbearable, and then turned into anger and poured out.
"In that case, why didn't Brother Sen send troops to relieve the siege of Nanchang, could it be that these tens of thousands of Wang Shi could only be used to fight the Tukou? With all due respect, I'm afraid this is not Chen's style to join the army! ”
Benevolence loves others, and when faced with such a tragedy, there will always be unbearable. Chen Kai appreciates the girl's kindness, but many things in this world cannot be solved with a word of kindness.
"Little lady Zheng, do you know where Nanchang is? Do you know how far Chaozhou is from Nanchang to Nanchang? Do you know the strength of the Tartars? Do you know Li Chengdong's attitude towards us, the Fujian kings? You don't know anything! ”
Speaking of this, Chen Kai took a heavy breath and calmed down before he said to the girl: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you, it's not your fault." But this matter is not as simple as you imagined, me and your brother Sen, we really can't help it. What we can do now is to expand our strength as much as possible, at least when the Tartars go south, to protect the people as much as possible. ”
"I'm sorry, it's the concubine who lost her words."
Chen Kai's appearance really scared the girl. She didn't know about those questions, but she vaguely remembered that it seemed that on the ship when she came, her sister-in-law Dong Yougu had mentioned to her that Shi Lang's department was plotted and besieged by Hao Shangjiu, the general of Li Chengdong's department, and the relationship between them can be seen.
The lone army is thousands of miles away, even if it can ignore food and supplies, it is difficult for more than 10,000 people to play a key role in a war with tens of thousands of people on each side, especially when there is an "ally" who is likely to stab him first, and it is even more foolish to want to make a difference.
After sitting for a long time, looking at each other without saying a word, and the date broke up unhappily, Chen Kai returned to the small courtyard, and lost the desire to have dinner, so he simply collapsed on the bed, forcing himself to fall asleep, so as to leave these bad things behind.
At the same time, the girl had already returned to the boudoir, but at the door of Dong Yougu, who was still recuperating, a figure jumped in like the wind.
"Mother, my son saw Aunt Xiao and Uncle Chen chatting in the small garden."
Hearing this, Dong Yougu, who was still sitting on the bed, sat up suddenly. glared fiercely at the maids serving in the room, clearly suggesting that they didn't have many mouths, and after these people retreated, she faintly came out with the words "The two of them really know each other".
Next, in a few words, Dong Yougu asked what her son had seen and heard from Zheng Jing's mouth, and then frowned.
The last time Zheng Chenggong's letter was delivered, it was indeed mentioned that he wanted to find a good match for Chen Kai in the clan, and completely tied this peerless national warrior to the warship of the Zheng group. But for this close candidate, he has not mentioned it, probably because he doesn't want Chen Kai to marry Zheng Hongkui's daughter. But now it seems that Chen Kai and this girl not only know each other, it is likely that the two have a good impression of each other, so it is difficult to say whether Chen Kai will propose to Zheng Hongkui directly.
"That's not a good thing."
