In the old city of Guangzhou, a sudden winter rain extinguished the fires that were burning everywhere.

Shang Geng's two feudal soldiers divided the territory in the old city, and the richest yamen and several streets where the hereditary officers' residences were concentrated were divided by the feudal soldiers, and the green battalion under the domain was divided into the next little territory, and the dicks who belonged to the green battalion could only eat some scraps.

The loot is a lot, but it either takes a lot of effort to cash in or is simply worthless.

Geng Jimao was very disappointed, and Shang Kexi was only slightly regretful and relatively calm.

Shang Kexi has seen too many scenes, the Pearl River Delta is a rich area, there are many places worth grabbing, more than one Guangzhou City. Moreover, Shang Kexi understands that Guangdong is the territory of his town, and some people have territory, and with the conditions of Guangdong, he will soon be able to open a sea trade to make money, and compared with the harvest, the immediate loss is acceptable.

Shang Kexi walked into the Catholic Church in Guangzhou.

do, Chinese name Zeng Dezhao. This brave Catholic priest did not retreat with the army, and his church protected hundreds of people who did not retreat, especially the most women who bound their feet. Women are always more likely to be religious, and the concubines and maids in the Yongli court are almost all Catholics.

Tartars stormed the church and tried to commit violence against the female believers.

The gray-haired, frail old priest stood in front of the believer, and the Tatar soldiers tied the priest's hands and feet, threatening him to hand over the Christian's property or kill him at any time.

This matter made a big fuss, and after Shang Kexi learned about it, he personally went into the city to intervene.

"Father Zeng."

"His Royal Highness the Old Vassal King."

"I know you Christians."

"Your Highness!"

Shang Kexi looked at the women in the church and nodded slightly, "I give you, and your believers, life and freedom. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shang Kexi handed Zeng Dezhao a Bible and a prayer book, "Father, these two books are for you." I heard the soldiers say you're poor? ”

"Your Highness, I give everything to God."

"You go to my palace counselor Shen Shangda, and he will give you a mansion. If you need money, you can also ask him for reimbursement. ”

"Your Highness, I can't thank you enough. Is there anything I can do for you? ”

Shang Kexi smiled, "I don't have any other requirements for you, just stay in Guangzhou and preach." ”

Zeng Dezhao bowed deeply, he stayed in Guangzhou to develop more new believers.

Shang Kexi was born as a sailor in the Dongjiang River, and Mao Wenlong supported Dongjiang Town by monopolizing the maritime trade between China, Japan and North Korea, and no one in the Tatar court knew more about maritime trade than him.

Shang Kexi walked out of the church and looked up at the new city of Guangzhou in the south.

The Ming army blew up the city walls connecting the new city on the east and west sides of the old city, and held on to the infant city of the new city. In the battle of the old city, the Ming army of all departments lost more than 3,000 elites who dared to fight, and less than 10,000 people remained. The strength of the Ming army was greatly damaged, but their numbers were still sufficient relative to Xincheng, and the defense system was generally complete. No one in the Tatar soldiers wanted to fight in the winter rain, and the fighting was suspended for a while.

Geng Jimao's foolish plan to attack after the rain stopped, Shang Kexi shook his head when he remembered this nephew.

The city saw very clearly that the Ming army's large ships and small boats were sending the population overseas day and night, and they were about to be withdrawn.

The sons of the clan suffered too heavy losses in the siege, and Shang Kexi did not plan to fight again. Only when there are soldiers can there be land and money. The elite soldiers of the feudal clan are exhausted, why should they occupy the city of Guangzhou? The Ming army agreed, and the imperial court in Beijing would not agree, who did not want to come to Guangzhou to fish for oil and water.

Geng Jimao is really reckless to the point of being brainless. However, Shang Kexi didn't plan to stop Geng Jimao, so he would go with him if he liked to fight.

Shang Kexi sat in the sedan chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, and he began to plan how to use Father Tsang Tak Chiu to connect with the Macau Franco.

At that time, the officials of Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty were too smart, and Zhu Kun, the idiot, suppressed Shuangyu in Zhejiang, but the Guangdong officials hit it off with Francois and wanted to deceive the emperor on the grounds of lending land to pile up goods. With the Macao window, no matter who occupies Guangdong, it is convenient to run overseas business.

By the way, there's also the Red Hairy. The sea is the world of Hongmaoyi, and Batavia also has to ask someone to visit, as long as there is a Hongmaoyi pass, no one can stop it on the sea surface of the South Sea.

Shang Kexi was intoxicated with building his maritime trade kingdom, and his mind was no longer in Guangzhou New Town.

……

The north city wall of Guangzhou new city relies on the south city wall of the old city, the south gate of the old city is the north gate of the new city, after the Ming army gave up the old city and retreated to the new city, the original urn city and horse face became the deployment of the inner rush, the female wall and the battlements were far less than the outer wall, and the defenders had to demolish the houses of the new city, and used various temporary collections to pile up the materials into fortifications, and barely held the defense line.

Guarding the order to ascend the Great South Gate Tower, the old city Ming army has not been withdrawn, and some of them are still holding on to the Wanghailou fortress.

Shi Kunran and his men were heavily surrounded by the Tatars, and there was no hope of retreating. Shi Kunran swore not to retreat at Wanghailou, pinned down a large number of Tatar soldiers, and supported the retreat of the Ming army in the city.

Put down the binoculars, and asked Wu Wenwen and Zhang Pengfei, the commanders of the Ming Army's naval division, "How many people are left in the city?" ”

Zhang Pengfei: "100,000, at the current rate, it will take 3 waves of ships to withdraw." ”

It is more than 100 kilometers from Guangzhou to Xiangshan Island, the base of the retreat, and it is very fast to go down the river downstream, and it will take more than a day to arrive. It is difficult to swim upstream, as fast as five days, as slow as a week.

Du Yonghe recovered his spirit after retreating to the new city, "After the weather clears, the Tatars will move their Hongyi cannons under the city, and this wall cannot support half a month." ”

"I know, Du Junmen, if you're worried, you can leave first."

The role of Du Yonghe and others in staying in the new city is no longer obvious, the main thing to defend the city is artillery battle, before the Ming army in the south city loses the artillery battle, the order and the local Ming army can hold the new city. After losing the artillery battle, everything is over.

Du Yonghe was amnesty, bowed down and clenched his fists, "The great unification system is high-righteousness, I have discussed it with Zhang Yue and Zhang Daoying, only take 3,000 soldiers to go, and leave the rest to the great unification." ”

"Where is Du Junmen going first?"

"Jiujiangkou into the Tanjiang River, copied Xinhui, Xinning, Enping, Yangchun, Yangjiang, and Guanghaiwei. These counties can't be cheap, Geng Jimao. ”

This is Du Yonghe's plan. Plundered the five counties, collected the troops and weapons of the 6 thousand households under Guanghaiwei and the Beijin Water Division Battalion, and then retreated to the mouth of the Moyang River. To this end, Du Yonghe has sent Liang Desheng in advance to seize Hailing Island and expand and strengthen the Hailing Inspection Division.

"Is Mr. Wu going too?"

Wu Wenwen smiled, "My sailor won't go." ”

There is no need for a sea boat to enter the Tan River, Du Yonghe can do it with a boat in the Pearl River, and without the loss of the mainland base in Guangdong, Wu Wenwen's obedience to Du Yonghe is not so strong.

"Du Junmen, let's go, but leave your black army to me."

"This ......"

Zhang Yue hurriedly pulled Laduyong and his sleeves, "No problem, the general system, 312 black soldiers, all left." ”

The origin of Du Yonghe and this black army was Zheng Zhilong's black personal guard.

The Portuguese in Macao used a large number of black slaves, and the number of them once attracted the attention of the central government of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing.

Of course, Zheng Zhilong did not have the money to buy black slaves, but he took in hundreds of Macao fugitive slaves to form an army. After Zheng Zhilong surrendered, the Tatars assigned this black army to Li Chengdong.

Du Yonghe occupied Guangzhou and recruited a group of people from Macao, and this army was maintained at a scale of more than 300 people, which was the strongest fighting force of the Ming army in the Battle of Guangzhou.

Du Yonghe was kind to the black army, and some were reluctant to let it out. Zhang Yue persuaded him that it was most important to leave Guangzhou.

Shou Xuan finally instructed: "Three generals, go to Guanghaiwei, it is best to avoid conflicts with Wang Xing, Li Mingzhong and the volunteers in the east and west mountains, and the strong dragon will not suppress the head snake." Du Junmen, you may have to cooperate with them in the future. ”

"Understood, understood." The three of them hurriedly went down to the city and reorganized their subordinates.

On the same day, the remnants of Du Yonghe, Zhang Yue, and Zhang Daoying were less than 3,000, and 10,000 family members boarded the ship to evacuate.

Defend the order and reorganize the Ming army sequence in Guangzhou.

Li Jianjie and Wu Wenwen did not leave, and assigned Fan Chengen's remnants to Li Jianjie in an orderly manner.

The local Ming army was commanded by Yu Fengqi, and in the Battle of the Old City, Yu Fengqi proved his determination and ability.

The Ming army in Qiongzhou was still led by Zhang Pengfei.

Adding up the four divisions, there are still 5,000 armies, 1,500 sailors, and 1,500 sailors. Unlike the Union Navy sailors, whose status was higher than that of the Marine Corps, the Ming Tartar Army generally did not count sailors as soldiers, and their status was much lower than that of soldiers.

5000 troops to defend the new city of Guangzhou are enough for the time being, the question is time.

"Mr. Wu, you know the local situation best. How many people are there in the Tanmin Armed Forces? ”

Wu Wenwen: "The people are gathered, and the specific number is difficult to calculate. I estimate that the total number of soldiers with Li Changrong in Er Zhou will not exceed 3,000, and there will be more than 100 large and small warships. ”

"Can you hold them down?"

Wu Wenwen smiled, "There is no problem. ”

"That's good, I'll give you 2 Galiot ships." Shou Xiang took two steps back and forth, "It's too late for all the people to withdraw directly to Xiangshan, and transfer some people to Huangpu Island." General Wu, please seize Huangpu Island and defend it with the warships of the Navy. ”

The south river of Guangzhou was protected by two forts, Haizhu and Haiyin, and the attack on the Guangzhou wharf by the Tan people was not successful. Huangpu Island is different, there are no permanent fortifications to rely on, and it can only be defended by warships.

It is necessary to seize time to keep order, make full use of every cent of capacity, and use flat-bottomed river boats and sampans to transfer some personnel to Huangpu Island, and send ships that can go to sea to Xiangshan. There are a lot of people who can swim and sail boats in Guangzhou, and there is no shortage of sailors, so they can be recruited temporarily.

The generals reworked the evacuation plan, and after the two steps were carried out at the same time, the evacuation speed was greatly accelerated.

The weather cleared, and the Tatars attacked again. Wanghailou burst into flames, and the guard Shi Kunran was martyred with the fortress.

The fire was not extinguished until night, and Yu Fengqi, Ma Chengzu, and Sa Sanfu burst into tears.

Guo Yao knelt on the ground and cried, slamming his head on the ground.

Geng Jimao eliminated the threat from the rear and began to prepare for the siege. Build artillery forts in the city, haul siege guns, and deliver ammunition forward.

The final battle was soon coming, and with the accuracy of the artillery of this era, attacking the opponent's field artillery positions was a pointless act, a waste of time, ammunition, and a waste of life.

The city of Guangzhou had its own special circumstances, the Ming army did not need to be economical, and fought openly, even if it only hit the building next to the fort, the flying debris could interfere with the enemy's shooting.

Some timid Tatar artillery crews dropped their cannons and hid in houses on either side.

If a capable soldier takes advantage of this opportunity to go out of the city to counterattack, and has a chance to capture the enemy's artillery position, just nailing those guns can slow down the enemy's attack.

Shou Xian sighed, he couldn't do it now.

The artillery battle lasted for three days, the city walls were shattered, and the makeshift fortifications of the Ming army were scattered.

The brick and stone buildings of the Great South Gate and Guide Gate City Tower will be able to withstand it for a while and a half, and become the core firepower output position of the defenders.

There was no need to save gunpowder, and all kinds of improvised incendiary and explosive firearms were thrown into the city without money to block the Tatar soldiers.

The guard noted that the enemy's desire to attack the city was very different from before, and many times, after just a few rounds of shooting, the Tatars who had climbed the ladder dropped their equipment and retreated. They probably didn't want to fight either.

The last of the people are about to board the ship.

Yu Fengqi, Ma Chengzu, Sa Sanfu, and Guo Yao asked for their lives at the same time, leaving them to break off for the people.

Guo Yao took the initiative to ask Ying to keep order, which was very unexpected.

"General Guo......"

"Needless to say, Guo didn't want to get out of Guangzhou City alive."

Zhang Qixian, the commander of the Han soldiers of the Left Guard in Guangzhou, cried, "You guys, you guys are hiding from me and discussing it, right?" ”

Yu Fengqi patted his colleague on the shoulder, "I've been in Guangzhou all my life, and I don't want to go anywhere." ”

"I'll stay too!"

"Commander Zhang, the villagers need a leader, so don't fight with us."

……

That night, Yu Fengqi led more than 200 Ming officers and soldiers who volunteered to stay behind, and the rest withdrew from Guangzhou City.

On the Haizhu Fort, Shou ordered to watch the last Ming army flag retreat to the Jinghaimen Tower.

Yu Fengqi fell.

Shou ordered to salute the castle tower, "General Yu, I'm leaving, but I'll be back." ”
