Chapter 173: Survival (5)
Du Yonghe can bend and stretch, and after saying a few words, the political envoy of Nabu immediately understood. Now the situation is stronger than people, Chen Kai has taken control of the new city and the dock, and it is obvious that the Guangzhou left guard and the Guangzhou right guard who are guarding the new city have changed their courts, and it is very likely that even Wu Wenwen and Yin Zhirong are the same. At this point, they want to leave the city, without Chen Kai's approval, I am afraid that they will not be able to get a ship, if Chen Kai is in a hurry and instigates the troubled people, their lives, family assets, and all of them will have to be explained here.
"Is Du Zhijun planning to transfer to Qiongzhou Mansion?"
The so-called Qiongzhou is Hainan Island. As soon as these words came out, Du Yonghe's eyelids jumped, and a trace of surprise flashed, but he still agreed, and once again put forward a request for Chen Kai to arrange a ship for him.
"Du Zhijun knows that Xia Guan is a local official in Fujian, and it seems that he has exceeded his authority by organizing the evacuation of the people here......"
Chen Kai said this lightly, and didn't seem to care much about this. But when he heard this, Du Yonghe heard this, and even said that he could immediately authorize Chen Kai and stamp the seal of the governor of Liangguang to endorse Chen Kai's organization of the evacuation of the people.
"Then there will be Lao Du to control the army, and when he retires after success, the lower officials will definitely explain the situation to the court and explain the situation to Du Zhijun."
Speaking of this, Chen Kai changed his words, and then pointed to the carriages carrying large boxes, and smiled at Du Yonghe: "Du Zhijun, you see, there are not many ships in Xiaguan's hands, and he has to transfer the people, and what can be distributed to you is even smaller, so much treasury silver, I'm afraid it can't be loaded." It's better to keep these treasury silver here for the time being, and when your side is stable, Xiaguan will send someone to return the treasury silver to its original owner, how about it? ”
Chen Kai frowned, looking very embarrassed for Du Yonghe and the others. However, as soon as these words were spoken, the high-ranking officials in Guangdong who were present from Du Yonghe and below immediately changed color.
Next, the angry screams sounded one after another, and the high-ranking officials stood on the moral high ground of loyalty and patriotism to vigorously refute Chen Kai's despicable behavior of asking for silver, with the strength of this righteous words, those who did not know it were afraid that they would immediately determine that they were all loyal ministers and righteous men who were going to die with the city, and Chen Kai was the coward who was ready to abandon the city and flee.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, but looking at Lin Dezhong, Cai Qiao and others, they were all eyeing each other, but they could only stay at the stage of reprimand, and did not dare to develop in an uncontrollable direction.
In this regard, Chen Kai smiled rightly, as if he didn't mind the insults of these guys, and his face was thick. When everyone found out that their punch was just hitting the cotton and had no effect, he smiled at Du Yonghe, who had been watching coldly: "Du Zhijun, the lower official estimates that it will be dawn soon, do you continue to hesitate?" ”
A word is out, a hundred words are stopped, and everyone knows what dawn means. The faces of all the high-ranking officials changed abruptly, especially the political envoy Nabu almost did not soften on the spot. Only Du Yonghe, who was still a martial artist, made a casserole-sized fist click, which immediately attracted the hostility of the pro-soldiers who were guarding Chen Kai's side.
However, the conflict has not yet broken out, as if the heavens are watching the tension at this moment and it is quite unpleasant. In the east, the first rays of sunlight on the second day of the eleventh month of the fourth year of the Yongli calendar spread to the earth from the gap between the horizon and the black clouds, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing in the northwest, and even the people outside the city seemed to have begun to go crazy and use it at the city gate.
Du Yonghe felt this "warmth", and most of his anger was immediately vented, staring at Chen Kai, as if he wanted to imprint it in his mind, and then nodded heavily, and said word by word: "Good, good, good, Governor Chen's business is shrewd, and this governor can be regarded as a teacher." ”
After that, Du Yonghe squeezed out the word "give" from between his teeth, and immediately ushered in Chen Kai's compliment: "Du Zhijun still has a clear priority in such a sinister environment, and he is really a capable minister that the dynasty must rely on." It is an honor for the lower officials to be able to share the worries of the Du Zhi army and to share the worries of all the superiors. ”
The deal was reached, Du Yonghe asked people to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to write the appointment in front of Chen Kai on the back of a pro-soldier, not only to organize the people to retreat, but also to transfer the troops and horses in the city. On the other hand, Chen Kai also wrote a temporary receipt in the account book and handed it to Du Yonghe as the basis for receiving the treasury silver in the future.
The soldiers, the family members, and the guards began to shrink the carriage back home, and the rest of the carriage was pushed into the alley by Chen Kai and sent to the dock from the bypass.
Chen Kai sent him off with courtesy, and Du Yonghe repeatedly praised Chen Kai, asking him to make persistent efforts to save as many people in Guangzhou as possible from the clutches of the captive. Between the two, if you just listen to the content of the words, there seems to be no contradiction at all, but listening to that tone, Du Yonghe is obviously aggrieved to the extreme, and every word comes out of the voice, but Chen Kai still laughs and accepts them one by one, and there is no displeasure at all.
Du Yonghe's chariot and horse procession gradually moved away, and more and more people poured into the city, Chen Kai looked at Du Yonghe's back, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said to Lin Dezhong and Cai Qiao beside him: "Du Yonghe is in a hurry, hold on for a while, even if it is a stick of incense, wait until Zhang Yue and Li Jianjie's gang rush over, and when the time comes, even our ships will have to pay a few ships." ”
"I still joined the army and saw through the nature of this fierce inward, otherwise I might not dare to have the courage to join the army if I changed others."
After the words of compliment, Cai Qiao was silent, respectfully followed Chen Kai's side, and walked towards the city wall. Unlike Cai Qiao, Lin Dezhong is Chen Kai's cronies, he knows very well that Chen Kai is so risky, in the final analysis, it is still a half-year-long plan, the cost is really huge, coupled with the follow-up problem of resettlement of the people, especially Chen Kai urgently needs to prove to the Zheng Group behind him that he is still working hard to strengthen the strength of the group, not for the life and death of outsiders, so he must slaughter Du Yonghe ruthlessly.
Of course, the silver was said to be stored temporarily, but Lin Dezhong was not worried, because Chen Kai had told him earlier that if Du Yonghe gave him such an opportunity, it only meant that his people had been frightened by the Tartars, and even if they escaped, they would have to be cleared sooner or later. At that time, could it be that the silver would have to be sent to the treasury of the Qing court?
Du Yonghe gradually moved away, and Chen Kai had already arranged some local civilian ships in Guangzhou, which could be regarded as the complete end of the deal. However, from the moment he decided to go to this troubled water, Chen Kai had already understood that Du Yonghe and Li Yuanyin had never been his biggest enemy. And now, the real enemy has entered the city, carrying the snow sword and frost knife of Liaodong, and is bound to destroy everything in this Guangzhou city!
