The five cities and twelve districts of Guangfu are still a scene of bright lights and wine, singing every night, even the lowest-level peddlers and pawns can nibble on peanuts and dried fish and drink turbid wine every three or two days, maintaining that step-by-step small day, as if the mutiny that happened in Qingyuan Town, it is still a very distant thing.

After all, as the political center of gravity of the Southern Dynasty and the essence of the overseas vassals of the Central People's Republic of China, except for the bloodless opening of the city that was almost welcomed by the people of the South China Sea Governor's Mansion more than a hundred years ago, there has never been a military revolution.

As the outer part of the photovoltaic periphery, it is also a gathering of the Imperial Army, the Shogunate Gongwei Sixteenth Army, the Hirofu Garrison Battalion, the Naval Battalion Regiment of the Naval Division of the Two Sea Provinces, as well as the Privy Council, the Grand Counselor's Office, the Military Department, the Guardian Temple and other powerful and important departments directly under the armed and defending sequence.

Not counting the unequal number of local government soldiers, township soldiers, and regimental braves. It is already known as an army of 200,000 arch guards. Therefore, the daily life and mentality of the people of Guangfu have not been greatly affected, and in most official and private documents, this is just an ordinary incident

It's just that this day is destined to be engraved in the memory of the people of Guangfu. The boatmen who stepped on the misty sky early and got up early to catch the fish as usual wanted to provide the first batch of the most watery and fresh seafood for the morning market at Daxiao Wharf. But when they went down to the net for the first time, they picked up some garbage such as sludge cloth and other garbage

The small river that flowed into the city suddenly changed color, first a little whitish and muddy, then a yellow-brown mixed with a large number of unidentified debris and garbage, and gradually changed to a heavy dark tone along the river.

Then there was the bright red of blood, dyeing the water surface of the entire small river into a large area of crimson, and as an embellishment was the floating corpse that had been abandoned like a school of white fish.

This result, which made any official explanation and self-consolation, a kind of self-deception, with the crowd of people in this set, and the large and small ships rushing together rushing to the shore, panic, for the first time in this peaceful city, with the urban area flowing on both sides of the river, a large area spread.

Chen Zihe stood on the wall of Niu Calf Town, which was known as the only dangerous place on the outskirts of Guangfu, and he took it so lightly, which made him have an illusion that he was not real enough.

The so-called 2,000 town soldiers collapsed almost at the first touch, leaving behind almost untouched treasury and ordnance, which were not actually intact, at least the large piles of canned food, rations, military uniforms, and leather armor they saw were lost in the corners of the wall, and the worms in the arsenal became a breeding paradise made of rat nests, and even the few big guns on the wall did not follow the rules to nail or destroy the bolt doors, and left them directly to the rebels.

Of course, the dust of the fire gate and the dust in the control suggest that the last time they used the drill was not known how many years ago. As a garrison on the outskirts of Guangfu, has it been eroded to such a distance?

The team behind him has grown to tens of thousands of people, of which at least 6,000 are armed and trained, basically from the government soldiers or northerners in other sequences, many things have been called, cut down Shangguan and transformed, and some can't wait to vent their perennial pent-up resentment and anger in Guangfu, a prosperous and prosperous place outside the mountains.

Of course, the growth of the team does not mean that it is all a good thing, the command efficiency and control force are declining with the expansion of the number of people, and she also lacked the experience of leading the army before, so she can only control the core and most capable more than 800 people, and then indirectly control the basic movements of thousands of other people who have military literacy.

The rest of those speculative people who came with the wind gave up completely. It was only because they could somewhat share the attention and pressure of Guangfu that they reluctantly drove them to follow.

According to the prior agreement, after receiving sincerity and goodwill, it is time for him to divide his troops in the next step.

He didn't expect to really be able to attack Xiaochang'an, where the Shoushan Palace was located, or the three districts of the old city where the shogunate was gathered, or the Panyu district of the lower city, where the sailors gathered, but there was more or less room for the other parties.

Whether it is the districts of Zuocheng or Shangcheng, the rich, the merchants, the nobles, abound, the large and small stores, the merchant warehouses, the forests, hundreds of years of peace and prosperity have been accumulated, and the wealth that has been precipitated in the city will be a number that no one can imagine.

At the same time, it is also outside the mountains, and even from Nantianzhu to Annam's Saikaido, Fuso to Yizhou's Saikaido, many sea domains, vassal countries, countless products and goods, the largest land distribution center, the so-called water and land curiosities, gathered in one place.

The large and small property exchanges on Baoquan Street alone, the money union under the headquarters of the Nanhai Club, and the various north-south ticket houses are known as tens of millions of money flowing in and out at every turn.

It should be possible to negotiate a good price with some big people, or if you can't negotiate, you can make them unforgettable for a while.

Just a dozen steps away from Chen Zihe, another veteran was also looking at him with mixed feelings.

He is a shadow son at the bottom, and he has almost forgotten his original mission and origin for a long time. After seeing too many people and things, sometimes I feel that it would be good if I lived like this for the rest of my life.

According to the usual practice, in the military towns and towns where the important places are located, a certain number of secret agents will be arranged from the Privy Council's military viewing hall and the military department judge who supervises the five rooms.

The time limit and task varies, it is likely to be a few months or a few years, and it is also very likely that it has not been started in a lifetime, and it is so unearthly.

For a person who once had a complicated past and experience, the conditions in Qingyuan Town were not good, but it was far away from the center of power and had convenient transportation and relative mobility, which was the most suitable place for people like him to live incognito all his life.

At least as an old military household, he died on the chair with his grandson, or his children breathed at the head of the bed, but a series of events in Qingyuan interrupted his last hope and extravagant hope to survive and breathe.

He would rather not be found than have to face some kind of choice, in fact, he was very suspicious that the moths in the hall had found their records in the dusty piles of old papers.

Then he came to the door with a roar, coerced and lured a lot of conditions, as long as he could sacrifice a little at the critical moment, he would be able to write off the past, get high honor and status, and leave a name in history.

It can be expected that as long as you enter Guangfu, God knows what kind of conditions these guys will start to go to the doctor when they are sick.

But does it still make sense to him?

It's just that the remnants of the mission and duty engraved in his bones since he was a child, the people and things he is familiar with in daily life, all kinds of unforgettable and repeatedly intertwined, make him particularly contradictory and confused......

In the swaying of the gentle wind and waves, the sea boat we took also arrived at the old port of Panyu.

This time, it was an accident thanks to the energy of Yuwen Luoluo, the so-called silver clan, not only have trading companies and agents all over the major ports of Tokaido, as well as fleets of ships, but also have an advantage over others in the collection of daily consultations.

This time, with the help of the Yuwen family, we happened to stay in Lufeng Jieshi Bay and waited for the monsoon's fleet, and through simple and powerful negotiations, we sent our party and this chance encounter of the navy to Guangfu hundreds of miles away in the name of going to help.

This is Guangzhou, my second hometown, I sighed excitedly, while breathing in the air that was a little too warm and humid, and feeling the sunshine that was too hot even in spring.

In fact, the first to appear on the land line were the harbor and the hills, the lighthouses and watchtowers,

There's even a huge mechanical clock tower, which has huge gold rim and black hands and scales on the off-white panel after the misty tide and fog have completely cleared,

Reflecting the glittering sunlight, from the slowly windowed tower, there is a kind of humming sound similar to the striking of a temple bell......

It's just that when the ship docks at the port, you can feel some clues brought by the Qingyuan mutiny.

Although this is still the world's largest port with a wide range of ships, one of the few major ports in the south, it is inevitably filled with a kind of panic.

From the harbor that was blocked and under martial law, there were sporadic civilian boats that wanted to flee to the main island of Hainan on the other side of the strait to take refuge, but were stopped. and which ones are very noisy, but they can't help but run out to probe their brains to look at the lively military and civilian people,

In the midst of a side view, we took our captives and booty and landed on the outskirts of Quang Phu.

"I need to be wronged, sister, and your people ......"

I looked at the figure behind me.

"Let them do it again, my servant ......"

"Of course"

Madame Chen gently shook the hat that covered her head and face and replied,

"Now I'm going to use your identity as a cover,"

In fact, from the outer port of Panyu to the inner port of Panyu located in the lower city of Guangfu, there is a distance of more than ten miles, which is occupied by all kinds of strange buildings and facilities.

The open-air elevated keel and the semi-sheltered dry dock, which looked particularly cramped and continuous workshops, exuded a pungent smell and noisy noise,

On the wood-clad rails, a series of wagons pulled by animal power trotted along the middle of the road, the ditches and potholes where sewage flowed, the people huddled in the shadows waiting for their livelihoods, and the shops and shops of all kinds shrouded in smoke and dust.

There is a certain dislocation of the city of London at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution from the sails to the steam age.

But according to what I have seen and heard in the initial stage, at least the basic order of local daily life is still there, which also means that the control power of Guangfu has not been greatly affected, or has not yet been fully revealed.
