Seeing death as home, in exchange for a big victory.

Although it was somewhat unexpected, it was reasonable.

Although the ship-borne light artillery is majestic, there is no way to guard against the underwater, and the brothers in the society are all humanoid sharks, and they are all good at fighting.

Although there are also outlaws and bandits from the Heavenly King Society on the smuggling ship, they can't stand the elite of Chen Mu's side.

As for those foreigners, they dare not use muskets, so there is no need to worry at all.

What really worried Chen Mu was that the battle on the ship was over, but there was still no trace of François.

In other words, François was not on board at all!

The picture of high-five and oath is still vivid, but the light cannon has been silent for so long, but Qingchang on the shore has not moved at all, this is what Chen Mu is really worried about!

The foreigners' generals had already left their mouths alive, and they confessed truthfully without Chen Mu's questioning.

However, the information obtained is extremely limited.

They only knew that François was not on board, but they could not provide more information.

François even hid these foreigners, there must be a conspiracy behind him, and it is a big conspiracy!

Of course, François seems to be reckless, but in fact he is also a cunning person, and it cannot be ruled out that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is possible that he did not board the ship, but this possibility is not very large.

Because Fu Qingyin exchanged the death of Montmorelonsi, François had no reason to be indifferent and gave up this opportunity for revenge.

"Where can this François go......" Chen Mu fell into a short contemplation.

But this contemplation did not last long, because there was finally movement on the shore!

The sound of gunfire kept coming, the fire in the distance kept shining, and the brothers on the ship could see it very clearly!

"What cunning ghosts, they should have detoured by land!"

Chen Mu finally understood.

The smuggling ship of the Heavenly King Society, as well as the blowing up of the * warehouse, is simply a disguise, and the strategic direction of the main force of foreigners is by land, not by water!

It's just that I didn't expect these foreigners to be so calm, and they endured to avoid the detection of Qingchang's sentinels, and they didn't send troops until this juncture!

"Turn back!" Thanks to the brothers, they learned their lesson and didn't dare to destroy the ship again, so Haruko Ashiya immediately started the fireboat!

"Big guy, what should I do with these ghosts?" Ah Shui asked Chen Mu.

This time, he followed his master Lin Zongwan, and together with Li Sanjiang, he led Long Ji's men to help with the drag, and the credit was not small.

"Throw them into the water, whether they can live or not, it depends on whether God will spare them." Thinking of Lu Shengwu's death, the anger in his heart rose, and Chen Mu no longer felt pity for these damned people.

Not killing him on the spot is already the greatest mercy.

Everyone doesn't have a good impression of the ghost guy, many people regard the ghost guy as an enemy, and they are afraid that Chen Mu will be indecisive and the woman's kindness, and now that he hears this order, although he is a little disappointed, it can be regarded as a consolation in the end.

After leaving the foreigners, everyone also gathered up the spoils, and the muskets that the foreigners did not dare to use were all in the hands of the brothers.

These people are all mixed in the rivers and lakes, and they are both curious and afraid of foreign guns.

Chen Mu was not interested, but there was a distance between horizontal and vertical, so he taught them how to load, pull the bolt, aim and shoot in a simple and clear way.

Touching these spears, Chen Mu couldn't help but think of Lu Shengwu again.

I still remember that when Lu Shengwu was alive, he once sneered at the musket.

When Zhang Zhidong gave the latest Mauser pistol to Chen Mu, Lu Shengwu said to Chen Mu with disdain that the appearance of the musket was the beginning of the decline of the martial arts in the rivers and lakes.

Sooner or later, the musket will end the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, because no matter how high the martial arts are, they will be knocked down with one shot, and in the future, everyone will use guns, and no one will practice martial arts.

After all, it only takes a quarter of an hour to learn to shoot, but learning martial arts is a lifelong thing.

Seeing Ah Shui and the others fiddling with muskets with their eyes shining, Chen Mu's feelings about Lu Shengwu's remarks became even more profound.

The bow of the ship cleaved the waves, the water splashed continuously, Chen Mu stood on the deck, looking at the fire and smoke on the shore, and no longer thought about this.

It can be regarded as a crooked beating, Keicho did not let the refugees in the port area enter the city, which was a desperate feeling earlier, but now it has become protection.

The ghosts marched in by land, but all the officers and soldiers were concentrated in the port, and there was not much resistance along the way, and the situation quickly turned one-sided.

There were constant fires in the city, everyone was at risk, and there were riots everywhere.

On the contrary, the common people in the port area were guarding the defense line, and outside the defense line, a school officer was calling the people to join the ranks of defending the city.

Seeing Chen Mu and others landing, this school official was also like seeing a savior.

"Mr. Chen, please raise your arms, organize the young and strong, and guard the city of Guangzhou!"

When many brothers heard this, they inevitably sneered in their hearts.

They had killed all the thugs of the Heavenly King's Society, and the crowd of the fleeing people had been cleared, but Keicho still refused to let them take refuge in the city.

Now that the city is about to fall, the port area has become a safe zone, but they are in turn asking the young people in the port area to assist in defending the city, which is a bit brazen.

The reason why Chen Mu was able to summon the brothers to join the battle was also because the brothers wanted to save their families, and now that the smuggling ship has been downed, and the family members are all in the port area, they are all safe, so it is said that the brothers have no reason to fight hard.

wants to kill François to avenge his hatred, this is Chen Mu's personal grudge, and he can't let his brothers spill blood, after all, the next thing he faces is the regular soldiers of France!

Chen Mu turned his head to look at the many brothers, some lowered their heads, and some met Chen Mu's eyes, their eyes full of war.

Chen Mu is not a person who repays grievances with virtue, but this time, he must call on his brothers to follow him and fight hard.

"Guys, if the ghost guy captures the city, how long can the port be held here?"

"If you help the officers and soldiers to defend the city, there may be some opportunities, once the officers and soldiers are defeated, we alone will not be able to stand the port."

Chen Mu didn't preach righteousness awe-inspiringly, he just calmly analyzed the situation and let the brothers make their own judgments.

This is actually not difficult to understand, if the ghost guy captures the city of Guangzhou, there will be no eggs under the nest, everyone understands this truth.

But some people also questioned: "Chen Shao, after all, we are not soldiers, just ordinary people, the target of the ghost guy is the officers and soldiers, not us, if the ghost guy captures the city, we will surrender, I believe they will not massacre civilians, right?" ”

This is what Chen Mu is worried about.

Everyone has their own judgment, he will not treat these people as fools and fools who go with the flow, after all, it is a matter of life, and his own words are responsible for the lives of others.

Faced with such doubts, Chen Mu also nodded in agreement.

"I've dealt with foreigners, and they may not massacre civilians, but burning, killing and looting are inevitable."

"I just want to ask, my Hongmen brother, who wants to surrender?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

Chen Mu looked around and asked again: "Who is willing to surrender?" ”

There are all the heroes present, and surrendering is simply a shame, not to mention the ghosts who invaded their homeland!

It has not been many years since Li Wenmao's Tiandihui Guangdong uprising, and the brothers of Hongmen are still bloody, and they dare to oppose even the imperial court, let alone a ghost guy!

Wang Julou was the first to stand up, and the brothers under his command also followed, followed by Li Sanjiang, Lin Zongwan and others.

The school official didn't expect that Chen Mu didn't raise his arms and shout with enthusiasm, but just a few words that were so plain and insipid had a miraculous effect, which shows how strong Chen Mu's appeal is!

At this moment, a person came out of the crowd, wiped the blood on his hands, and said to Chen Mu.

"When the national disaster is at hand, the husband is responsible, I, Huang Feihong, am willing to take this trip!"

Huang Feihong took out a penny from the pile of debris next to him, used it as a spear, and joined Chen Mu's team!

The name of Bao Zhilin and Huang Feihong is known to everyone.

Huang Feihong set an example, and those young men suddenly became enthusiastic and joined the team one after another!

A young boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, his legs like bamboo poles were still shaking, and he couldn't calm down, but he still walked to the front.

The old mother behind her wanted to pull her son, but she didn't dare to step forward, so she could only watch with tears in her eyes.

The young man took a few steps, suddenly turned around, knelt down towards his mother, and kowtowed three times.

Most of the people in the team knelt down, they kowtowed to the crowd, if they can't come back, this head will be the last filial piety!

The officer's eyes were also moist, and he turned his back on his face, and he couldn't bear to look at it again.

"Sir, don't worry, we only need them to carry supplies and wander around, and we won't let them go to the front line to work hard!"

Maybe this is also a sentence that can make him feel better.

Chen Mu didn't say anything more, led the brothers, and walked out of the defense line and joined the queue to defend the city.

Seeing that Chen Mu led people here, Qingchang was also very surprised, and his face seemed to be a little unbearable, but Chen Mu's gang can indeed solve the urgent need, and he can't ask for it.

Chen Mu didn't talk to Qingchang either, and after asking about the situation clearly, he said to Qingchang: "I want to lead a team of people forward, can I ask you for a customs clearance token and password?" ”

"It's all occupied...... I've called in death squads, but you're just a civilian, and I won't let you go into battle!" Qingchang didn't expect that Chen Mu would take the initiative to make such a request at this juncture.

However, Chen Mu shook his head and said: "Asking you for the customs clearance flag and code words is just a respect for you, even if you don't give it, I will go." ”

This was the first time Chen Mu had spoken to Qingchang so hardly, and the latter's face was not very good-looking.

"Of course, if the general can't trust me and thinks that I will collaborate with the enemy, then that's another matter."

Qingchang frowned, unable to make a decision for a long time, after all, Chen Mu had no official status, and it was to bear the responsibility for letting them clear customs!

Chen Mu didn't ask again, because he knew that Qingchang would definitely make the right decision.

He swore an oath with Chen Mu's high-five, but in the end there was no support, the smuggling boat was led by Chen Mu to knock it down, if it weren't for Chen Mu and the brothers of the association, they wouldn't even be able to build this line of defense!

If it weren't for Chen Mu, the port area that is temporarily safe would not have joined the team defending the city.

All of these are enough to win Chen Mu's trust, not to mention that Chen Mu has not known this Guangzhou general for a day or two.

Since he could spare Chen Mu when the foreigners besieged and killed him, how could he believe that Chen Mu would collaborate with the enemy?

"Someone! Call a herald here! Qingchang looked at Chen Mu, and made the final decision.
