At this moment, Li Dexing had no sense of guilt, and the sudden change seemed to make him forget his guilt, only a look of anxiety, and his foothold was not stable, so he urged: "You don't go quickly, as soon as the gunshots go out here, there will be such a big movement, and there will definitely be action on the side of the city defense camp, especially the governor's palace, once the people who welcome the relatives run back, they will definitely not let you go, and send troops to arrest you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Hurry up, escape this place, find a place where no one knows you, live well, once the city gates are closed, it's too late! ”

Yang Lin was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Dexing to say this, even if he was a little surprised and a little puzzled, Yang Lin didn't think much about it, and didn't make any response, but ordered to the execution platform: "Release the signal, it's time to act!" ”

In Li Dexing's doubts, Li Youlan and Shang Wei'er also looked at the audience, a red eye-catching Kong Ming lantern floated up, flew into the sky, just rose less than two hundred meters, bursts of gunfire rang out everywhere in the city of Guangzhou, one after another, from near to far, outside the city of Guangzhou, began to sound the rumbling sound of cannons, the sound of destroying buildings.

At this moment, the city of Guangzhou is very lively, only in the New Year's festival will be seen, everywhere is crackling sound. The sound of every shot is shaking the hearts of ordinary people, making them closed, and various inns and restaurants are also closed, and the smell of gunsmoke and tense atmosphere can not help but be filled with the entire Guangzhou City.

In an instant, he seemed to think of something and realized what the situation was, Li Dexing was just about to speak, but was stopped by Yang Lin's faint voice.

"Master Li, you still don't want to go back to the yamen, come with me to Yaxing. The city of Guangzhou is very chaotic now, everywhere is very dangerous, the four city gates have been closed, if you rashly walk on the street, or hide in the government, life will not be guaranteed. ”

Yang Lin took two steps, felt that Li Dexing did not move, did not go with him, and then comprehended, knew what he was thinking and worried, and said again: "Don't worry, these people of mine will not easily do anything to the old and weak women and children, as long as your family in the prefect's yamen does not act rashly, there will be no danger to life, and it will be very safe." ”

Li Dexing's lips moved, without making the slightest sound, as if he wanted to ask something, and when he saw Yang Lin walking towards the execution table, he didn't ask, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind, followed behind everyone, and walked towards the teeth.

Bang bang...

Boom...

The gunfire continued, the cannon thundered, and the entire city of Guangzhou fell into the battlefield.

In the third year of Jiaqing, this day on the first day of the seventh lunar month is destined to be an extraordinary day in Guangzhou Prefecture, and even in the entire Guangdong Province, there are gunshots everywhere, especially Xiangshan County and Qianshanzhai are the strongest, but it only lasted for an hour, and then returned to calm.

Approaching the evening, the gunfire in Guangzhou City became dripping, and a few sounds would ring out from time to time, in the tooth line, Yang Lin stayed in the study, listening to Ah Sheng's report, about all the actions today, what are the results of the Qilin Army? With the assistance of the Thunder, has Macau been taken?

"Marshal, according to the information sent back by various teams, Guangzhou City has been firmly in our hands, the Qing army's city defense battalion and garrison have been wiped out, and a large number of horses and materials have been captured, and the silver taels and grain and grass are innumerable, which is enough for us to spend for two or three months."

Yang Lin didn't show excitement, he was very calm, and asked softly, "Well... Let's not talk about these things first, how is Chao Sheng's actions on his side? Did you take Macau? ”

"Report to the marshal, the operation on the Chao Gang Leader's side is exceptionally smooth, due to the presence of Staff Officer Shi, most of the people in the green camp have surrendered, even if there are a few who refuse to surrender, but they have not resisted."

"As soon as the signal from our side was issued, they took action, and immediately captured the military fortresses of Xiangshan County and Qianshanzhai, and in just half an hour, they occupied these two places, and then gained control of the forts everywhere, which provided great help for the capture of Macao."

Although he didn't smile, Yang Lin's body obviously relaxed, and he also said: "Yes, once you take the two strategic fortresses of Xiangshan County and Qianshanzhai, capturing Macau is equivalent to half the success." After all, with the geographical location of the former cottage, the batteries there could block the western waters of Macao and bombard the western coast of Macao. With the thunderous warship formation, at this time, Zhao Hu and Chao Sheng should have captured Macao. ”

Hearing this, Ah Sheng also showed a sense of relaxation, and patted his head and said: "Indeed, according to the information sent back by the master of the Chao Gang, Feige, he has indeed occupied Macao, and is busy gathering foreigners, gathering in one place, preparing to transport them to Guangzhou City in the next two days, and settle them in the place prepared in advance." ”

Yang Lin nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Well, just do it according to the plan, as long as these foreigners don't make trouble, don't do anything to them, no matter what, we are a state of Chinese civilization and etiquette, not rude and barbaric, and we shouldn't ask for other people's lives at every turn." However, no matter who dares to make trouble and be hostile to us, there will be no mercy, it will be a bloody killing! ”

Without waiting for Ah Sheng to continue speaking, Yang Lin seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, tomorrow at dawn, we will immediately post a notice to appease the people in the city, and it is also a warning to warn those merchants who are friendly with the Qing court, let them hand over the fine within a time limit, half of the family property, as our military expenses and various expenses for the resettlement of refugees, as for those profiteers and Qing court magnates, according to the list we listed earlier, immediately confiscate the family property and confiscate it." ”

After saying so much in one breath, he couldn't help but feel a little thirsty, and while Yang Lin was drinking tea, Ah Sheng continued: "Marshal, these are all easy to do, the people of the Deaf and Dumb Hall and the Qilin Gang are ready, and they are ready to act at dawn tomorrow." Marshal, whether those who participated in framing you this time will be killed directly, or put in prison first, and you will dispose of it. ”

He took away the teacup slightly, just muttered for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "Lock up in prison first, don't wait for me to deal with it, these people don't have a good thing, and they have harmed a lot of people." After the arrest, a notice was immediately posted, so that the people in the city could avenge their grievances and avenge those who had revenge, and that our yamen would avenge them, and that everything should be done in accordance with the regulations and that the wartime regulations would be implemented. ”

At the same time, immediately install people, serve as capable officials, appoint some officials of the yamen, do things for the people, and as long as the evidence is sufficient, immediately deal with those who harm the people. Moreover, these officials also have an important duty, which is to accept the people's reports and listen to the people's voices, so as to prevent the emergence of black sheep in our ranks, people who prey on the people. ”

"Well, okay, marshal, with regard to the duties of officials, I will thoroughly implement those civilized rules, so that every official can enjoy his rights and at the same time, once he knows the law and violates the law, he will also accept more severe punishment."

Knock knock...

There was a knock on the door, interrupting the conversation between the two, and then a familiar voice sounded: "Yang Lin, are you there?" Can I come in? There's something I'd like to discuss with you. ”

Although he didn't report to his family, Yang Lin heard it, and in Ah Sheng's doubts, he responded: "Uncle Li, come in, I'm here." ”

Squeak

With a crisp sound of pushing the door, Li Dexing walked in slowly, with a restrained meaning, perhaps because of the guilt in his heart, he didn't dare to look directly at Yang Lin, and walked towards Yang Lin with a slight squint.

Looking at Li Dexing who came slowly, although his face was very calm, Yang Lin's heart was very complicated, and he had some resentment towards him, but he couldn't hate it, anyway, his daughter, Youlan had already committed herself to herself, and she couldn't embarrass her future father-in-law because of some unhappiness, right?

As soon as Li Dexing stood still, he was about to speak, but Yang Lin said first: "Uncle Li, it's so late, and it's going to be dinner in a while, is there anything to do with me?" ”

"Well... In this way, now that there is basically a ceasefire in the city, I want to go back to the prefect's yamen to see how my family is doing? If something so big happened in the city, if they didn't return overnight, they would definitely be worried about death. Moreover, I don't worry about them, after all, they are all couples, and they don't have any opinions, facing this kind of unexpected situation. Li Dexing said very sincerely, with a faint implication.

Yang Lin lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then looked up at Li Dexing, and said calmly: "Okay, I promise you, but I will still send two to send you off." Although Yahang is not far from the prefect's yamen, there is a curfew in the city and the army patrolling the streets, so it will be a problem if there is no one to accompany you. ”

Then, without waiting for Li Dexing to express his gratitude, he turned to Ah Sheng and said, "That's all for today, Ah Sheng, you send Uncle Li back first, and then go to other places to see the situation of the station, and report to me tomorrow." ”

"Yes, Marshal."

Ah Sheng is very discerning and good at pondering people's thoughts, and after answering, he saw that Yang Lin didn't want to continue talking to Li Dexing, so he took two steps, leaned sideways, and made a gesture of please: "Master Li, let's go, I'll send you back." Along the way, if there are no of our people to follow, it is easy for the patrolling people to be killed as the remnants of the Qing army. ”

At this moment, Li Dexing of course saw what Yang Lin meant, and when he heard Ah Sheng's words, he immediately borrowed the donkey and said, "Well, okay, let's go." ”

From beginning to end, Li Dexing did not mention Li Youlan's matter, not only because he felt guilty, but also because he knew deeply that with Yang Lin's protection, his daughter would be fine. Even so, when leaving, the moment he walked out of the study, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Yang Lin, and then left, disappearing into the darkness and drowning in the night.

As soon as the two left, Yang Lin stood up, looked at the direction of Li Dexing's departure, looked helpless, sighed, didn't say anything more, and walked towards the living room. (To be continued.) )
