Guangzhou, the yamen of the governor of Guangzhou.

In Seishan's study, the two men were silently staring at each other. The Ming army's sun and moon and the same banner have appeared in Nanguan, Guangzhou! The once prosperous commercial port has now become a battlefield for the two armies to face each other. But it was just a match, and there was no real firefight. Because the supreme commander of the Qing army in Guangdong, Sai Shang'a, has not yet decided whether to fight or go. And Ye Mingchen's visit brought him incredible news.

Ye Mingchen, who is the governor of Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty, is ready to surrender to the Ming Dynasty!

The room was silent, except for the heavy panting of Sezana.

When he arrived at Zuihou, Sai Shanga slapped the table, the whole person was trembling, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Ye Mingchen!" What did the emperor do to you? You are a Jinshi of Daoguang for fifteen years, and you were released to the prefect in three years in the Hanlin Academy, and you were promoted to the Taoist platform in less than two years, and then you were the envoy and the political envoy, and in just twelve years, you have become a feudal official like the governor of Guangdong! You repay your kindness now! ”

Listening to Sai Shang's questioning tone, Ye Mingchen's face turned red, and he almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. However, since he has lost his "reputation" and has become a second minister, he will naturally not change his mind after being questioned by Cezanne.

Ye Mingchen said coldly: "The overall situation of the battle of Guangdong has been decided, and the monk king has been defeated!" And it was a fiasco! This Guangdong is going to be surnamed Zhu when he sees it...... Master of Taiwan, you are a feudal official! Moreover, the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Daoguang are more generous to you, how are you going to repay Jun's kindness? There are also tens of thousands of banner people, old, weak, women and children in the city of Guangdong, how are they going to repay Jun's kindness? Once the Ming army breaks through the city of Guangzhou, I'm afraid they will all have to pay for the lives of the 700,000 Han people who were martyred in the Gengyin disaster 200 years ago, right? ”

CΓ©zanne's body shuddered. Eyes widen. Just looked at Ye Mingchen. A smug smile appeared on Ye Mingchen's face. Eloquently: "I know Emperor Daoguang's thoughts. He is a benevolent monarch, so he is reluctant to let you and Monk Greenqin throw their lives away in Guangdong, and he is reluctant to give up the more than 10,000 bannermen in the city of Guangzhou. You have few bannermen, so you are noble, and you can't afford to die! It's not like us who are money-paying men and die casually, are we? Race system, Emperor Daoguang must have given you and Monk Greenqin a secret decree...... Let me be the acting Governor of Liangguang. So that you and Monk Greenqin can escape with the banner people in Guangzhou City, right? Otherwise, you can take out the holy decree now, and we will handle the handover, and you can quickly take your superintendent and the flagman in my Fubiao together. Now that the Ming army brigade has not arrived, you should be able to escape if you hurry up! ”

Sai Shang'a got up and poked Ye Mingchen: "Ye Mingchen, you bastard!" At this time, when the country is in crisis, if you don't want to repay the service and go to the enemy, you are not afraid that I will let you ask for your guilt! ”

Ye Mingchen's expression did not move, and he said coldly: "Take me, what should you do with Monk Greenqin?" What about the more than 10,000 treasure flag people in Guangzhou? Are you all waiting to die? Tournament Table. Let's do as I say, you take the bannermen and soldiers and leave quickly. Go as fast as you can, I'll stay and be a second minister, so that the defeat of Guangdong can also have a top bag...... It's not that you bannermen can't fight, it's that we, the Hanchens, are shameless! In this way, each takes what he needs, and how many haode things are there? Where do you find it? ”

Sai Shang'a glared at Ye Mingchen fiercely, but he didn't say a word, and later, he still looked away, sat down on the chair, and sneered: "Can you really be reused if you are a second minister who is thrown to Zhu Shun?" Since ancient times, which king would like the people of the Qin Dynasty and the twilight of Chu? And on top of this history, are you not afraid of leaving an eternal infamy? ”

"No matter how much it can't be reused, it's better than here in the Qing Dynasty, if there is no Zhu Ming's resurrection, my brother may still have a future for the military to join the army...... Although it is rare to have Daoguang's trust, there is still honor in face, if you can live to seventy or eighty, you can also have the grace of sitting in a sedan chair in the Forbidden City, and you can barely be regarded as a very human minister. But now? Pan Lao Zhongtang is all shameless Hanchen, Lin Shaomu can't enter the military plane, He Shangyin is in the army with the rank of four-grade Taoist, Qi Shuying and Xu Zhongsheng have also become two kowtow worms. What hope do people like me have on the side of the Qing Dynasty? It's better to take refuge in the Zhu family in the morning, although he can't be the prime minister, but there is still a book, and there is no book in the Zhu family! ”

Sezanne looked blank and sat in his chair. Thinking about Ye Mingchen's words, it is still reasonable for this Daoguang Emperor not to believe in Han Chen, this matter in the world, there is no good word! Although the Qing Dynasty is not thin on the Han people, it is still not comparable to Zhu Jishi...... There are no banner people there, and they also said that they don't raise eunuchs before learning, and even the errands of the officials are given to the scholars, and they are really sharing the world with the scholars! This Han doctor is no longer tempted, he is a nerd! There were not many Han people who went to take refuge before, and that was because Zhu Jishi had not yet shown the strength to sweep the world, and he had no base on the mainland.

But now, the Eight Banners of Monk Greenqin's Heavenly Soldiers have easily defeated the family, Guangzhou City and the entire Guangdong Province are the Zhu family in a blink of an eye, and maybe Fujian and Guangxi will soon have the surname Zhu, and even this half of the south of the Yangtze River will be swept by the Zhu family within a few years, how can these Han doctors not go to share the world with the Zhu family, and have to be slaves to the Manchu Dynasty?

"Hanchen, it's really unreliable!" Sai Shang'a sighed and looked at Ye Mingchen, "If I hand over Guangzhou City to you, can you guarantee that all my people will withdraw from Guangdong safely?" ”

"Of course I can't guarantee it," Ye Mingchen hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a slight smile, "On the competition platform, the junior brother can only guarantee that the junior brother's standard will not fall into the ground." As for the thousands of Ming army pioneers outside the city of Guangzhou, most of them will not chase after them, they are not manpowered, and Guangzhou City and the nearby town of Foshan are their targets...... Those banner people, women, children, old and weak, don't have much oil and water, they won't be interested. But a little later, as soon as the Ming army brigade arrives, it will be difficult to say. ”

Sezanne was silent for a long time before nodding with difficulty. Ye Mingchen's words are good, the order of the two big cities of Guangzhou City and Foshan Town cannot be maintained without thousands of soldiers and horses. It was impossible for the Ming army outside the city of Guangzhou to leave two fat cities unguarded and send heavy troops to pursue the bannermen, women, children, old and weak -- it was not easy to walk along the way, and it was not easy for half of these old and weak women and children to make it to Beijing alive. And when they arrived in Beijing, they were also a burden to the imperial court......

Seeing Sai Shang'a nodding, Ye Mingchen also sighed, this is all due to Guangzhou's credit. The reason why he took the risk to say these words to Sai Shang'a was actually because he was not sure to control his Fubiao, after all, most of the Han officers in Fubiao had been removed and replaced by flag officers. Who knows if they will go crazy and plunder in Guangzhou City? So he simply took the risk of a showdown, using Sai Shang's "bodhisattva heart" to let him take away the flagmen in Guangdong Fubiao, and at the same time leave a complete Guangzhou city to Daming.

……

Nanguan, Guangzhou, inside the Wu family's mansion.

A wealthy businessman in Guangzhou who cut his braids was accompanying Liu Peng, the right prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Jiong, who had just led the troops to go ashore at the Tianzi number, drinking tea together, waiting for Guangzhou to open the city without blood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the background of this HSBC bank must be kept secret for a while." Liu Peng held the tea cup and glanced at the wealthy businessmen in the room with a smile. The richest people in Guangdong, and perhaps the richest in all of China, are now gathered here, cut their braids, and declared their allegiance to the Ming Dynasty.

"That's nature, I'll keep my mouth shut."

Listening to the statements of the businessmen, Liu Peng also nodded with satisfaction. These traders have very solid mouths, and no one will leak the secret of how much money the master behind them makes from them in a year. Even if the background of this HSBC bank will be exposed, it will not pass through these people.

At this moment, a Ming army officer in a gray military uniform rushed in outside the door, came to Liu Jiong's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear. Liu Jiong's face suddenly showed an excited expression, and he said to Liu Peng: "Big brother, Sai Shang'a has run away!" The gate of the north city of Guangzhou was wide open, and the old and weak people of the 10,000 bannermen were fleeing north under the escort of thousands of green battalion soldiers! ”

As he spoke, he jumped up, as if preparing to arrange a pursuit. Liu Peng waved his hand and said: "Mu Lin, don't be impatient, and let Sai Shang go, your task is to take all of Guangzhou, not only this Guangzhou city, but also the neighboring Foshan, Shunde, Sanshui, Xiangshan, and Huaxian have to be taken safely."
