More than a dozen Hong soldiers were soon escorted to the gate of the Ming military camp, and the representatives of the merchants of Guangzhou had not yet left.

Zhang Dabao asked Pa Xiali to bypass the camp gate and directly escort the Hong soldiers prisoners to the back camp.

Watching the Ming army drag themselves in the direction of the river, the big man who took the lead mistakenly thought that he was going to be killed, and called out hoarsely, "My lord, I am on the orders of my brother, my brother is He Bofen, the leader of the Hongbing, and I am his younger brother He Gaohan." ”

When the screams came, Jiang Li's face did not change, and his eyebrows raised, "If the order goes down, all the Hong soldiers on the South Road must be withdrawn to the south of the provincial river, otherwise they will be enemies and not friends, and they will all be killed." ”

The provincial river is the Pearl River, the south of the city of Guangzhou, the river island is dense, the waterways are different, in the past, it was collectively referred to as "Henan" in a broad sense, and it is a famous water town in the south of Guangzhou.

Jiang Li asked the Heaven and Earth Society to withdraw to the south of the provincial river, which also lifted the threat of the Hong soldiers to the city of Guangzhou.

The representatives of the merchants fell to their knees almost at the same time, "Your Excellency is wise, your Excellency is wise!" ”

"The ancestors of the former Han Dynasty entered Xianyang, and the three chapters of the law with the father and the elders, the murderer died, and the wounded and the thief were punished." Pan Shaoguang praised loudly, "Master Wang's righteous deeds today really have the richness of the Han army back then. ”

"You gentlemen don't know that when Han Gaozu entered Xianyang, all his soldiers and horses were under his jurisdiction. Although my Ming Wangshi and the Hongbing of the Heaven and Earth Society gathered under the same banner because of their opposition to the Qing Dynasty, they were two different people. ”

Jiang Li said with a flat face, "If you don't rectify it strictly, maybe a Xiang Yu who slaughtered Xianyang City will emerge from it." ”

The representatives of the merchants looked at each other, suddenly felt creepy, and shuddered.

At this moment, the British consul in Guangzhou, Pa Xiali, hurried to the Ming army camp in a carriage, and looked at a large group of people outside the camp gate, he roared, "I am the British consul, I have urgent matters and must see your commander, immediately, immediately, immediately!" ”

Jiang Li sent away the merchant representatives, and immediately asked people to invite the British consul into the account.

When Pa Xiali saw Jiang Li, he first congratulated the Ming army on its victory. Then he asked very seriously about the movements of the Ming army, "Your army is advancing quickly and invincible, is this to capture the city of Guangzhou and plan Guangdong?" ”

"Please rest assured that we will strictly abide by the agreement between the two sides." Chiang Li knew that the British had always attached great importance to the spirit of contract, and he told Pashali bluntly that it was absolutely impossible for ten warships to occupy the city of Guangzhou.

The Ming army camp, Jiang Li is particularly busy today.

He had just sent off Pashali, and had not had time to sit down and catch his breath when he returned to the big tent.

A report came from outside the tent, saying that Guan Ju, He Bofen, Lin Xilong, and others, the leaders of the Hong soldiers, asked to see them.

Guan Ju, He Bofen and others walked into the tent, Guan Ju's face was pale, "Lord Jinglue, we are not Jiangmen Lu Cuijin, Foshan Lin Xilong, all military supplies can only rely on local collection, your ministry let us retreat to the south of the provincial river, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" ”

Jiangmen Lu Cuijin, Foshan Lin Xilong and others have led their troops to defect to the Ming army and become the Guangyong team under the command of the Ming army. The Ming army had a lot of money, and there was no need to worry about logistics if they had money on hand, and the food and military supplies of the Guangyong team were fully guaranteed.

Guan Ju and He Bofen were originally boat owners begging for a living on the Pearl River, and they had to find a place to collect all the food and wages, and if they retreated to the water town and Huze, and cut off the local food and salary supply, it would be a dead end.

"There's nothing wrong with that!" Jiang Li looked indifferent, "The great cause of 'opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty' is important to win the hearts of the people." It has been more than half a year since the Hong soldiers took up the incident, and the people of Dali, Tiyun, Funan, and Taiping Sibao and 96 Townships in Nanhai County are all opposing you and blocking the pace of your march. There are not many people in Guangzhou Shinong Industry and Commerce who have a good impression of you, do you think you can still enter Guangzhou City?! ”

"'Anti-Qing and Restoration of Sight' is to kill, kill, kill! If we don't fight with the Manchu Tartars, the Tartars will come and cut off our heads! Guan Ju was very unconvinced, "Your Ming army will win the hearts of the people, and get in touch with Ye Mingchen's old demon head, and 5 million taels of silver will give Guangzhou City to Tartar." ”

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, and his face was serious, "First, the Hong soldiers are a mass of scattered sand, if you can condense into one, you can take Guangzhou half a year ago." Second, the turmoil in Guangdong has been going on long enough, and the situation of misery on both sides of the Pearl River must end as soon as possible. Third, I am the Ming Dynasty and Guangzhou, Guangdong is in the hands of the Qing Demon, and I can come over at any time to fight the autumn breeze. ...... for you"

He looked at Guan Ju with a smile, "If the leader of Guan is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and accept the whole training of the Ming Dynasty......"

Jiang Li was speechless when he said a few words, He Bofen hurriedly picked up the words, and begged Jiang Li bitterly, "Lord Jinglue, my brother is ignorant and offends your army, please be merciful and righteous, and release them all."

"You can release them, but you have two choices!" Jiang Li said slowly, "First, you go back to Taiwan with us to receive the whole training of the imperial court. The second is that you agree to withdraw from Guangdong and go to Jiangxi, Hunan, or Guangxi. ”

Guan Ju jumped up, "Isn't the adult Liangguang Jingluo?" Could it be that the Ming Dynasty will not take Guangdong? ”

Jiang Li said lightly, "It's not the official's boasting, Daming can go north to Dagukou now, blast open Beijing City, and capture Dog Xianfeng alive!" It's just that the Europa powers are eyeing us, and it is not easy to open up a foundation for China. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is now building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the world. ”

At the same time, Wu Chongyao had already rushed back to the Wu Family Garden, and Bai Gui had been staying in the flower hall waiting for his news.

As soon as he saw Wu Chongyao, before he could sit down, Bai Gui urgently inquired about the situation.

"Five million taels, it must be five million taels!" Wu Chongyao felt physically and mentally exhausted, and poured a cup of fragrant tea into his stomach, "The Ming bandits said that as long as they received the silver, they would immediately go home." ”

"What about Hong Bing?"

"Hong Bing~" Wu Chongyao sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief, "They said that they would do their best to take them away, and if they didn't want to go to Taiwan, they would be sent to Guangxi and Hunan." ”

That's it! Bai Gui breathed a sigh of relief, and then he was a little worried, "Does Ming Bandit's talk count?" ”

"It should be fine!" Wu Chongyao told the whole process of the whole process as it was, and then said with emotion, "The Ming bandit holds a strong ship and a cannon, acts as an upright soldier, and puts everything in the light, he should not break his promise, otherwise it will ~~"

"What, the Ming bandit announced everything to the public!" Bai Gui is a little incredible, "Since ancient times, the way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual." Will the Ming bandits play any tricks? ”

"Futai-sama Takami!" Wu Chongyao smiled slightly, "But according to the following opinion, the Ming bandits are indeed weak, and Hong Bing is like Jingwei, they will not stay in Guangzhou for a long time." ”

Wu Chongyao shook his head secretly, looking down on Bai Gui very much. The Ming bandits can enter Guangzhou City at any time and capture you wine bags and rice bags alive, what tricks do you still need to play.

The sky gradually darkened, and Bai Gui was discussing with Wu Chongyao how to quickly sell Daming bonds, when suddenly a series of roars sounded from the south.

Bai Gui jumped up in fright, "The Ming bandits are attacking the city?" ”

Wu Chongyao was also startled, he turned his head to look at the brilliant fireworks lit up in the sky outside the window, and suddenly suddenly, "Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic." The Ming bandits said that they would set off fireworks on the Pearl River tonight to celebrate the Spring Festival with the people of Guangzhou. ”

With a low roar, points of light rose from the coast guard ship and flew into the deep night sky with a loud salute, first like a salute, and then, like an umbrella, drooped down petals like chrysanthemums, and rained down one after another. In an instant, it exploded into huge colorful flowers, slowly blooming in the night sky.

The fireworks burst instantly, rendering the sky in colorful colors, and also attracting and stunned many looking up eyes inside and outside Guangzhou. The variety of changes, the magnificence that shines all over the sky, let the exclamation fall for a long time.

"With this leisure and elegance, is this still a bandit? Is this still a pirate? Ye Mingchen looked at the colorful stars and brilliant colors in the sky, and his heart was half cold, "The Qing Dynasty is almost over!" ”

At the same moment, the skies over Keelung, Yilan, Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, and Miaoli were all lit up by fireworks.

The Executive Committee arranged for the Working Committee to specially produce a batch of fireworks and fireworks, which were used to create a festive and peaceful atmosphere and spend the Spring Festival with Taiwan's military and civilians.

Fireworks, one, two, three... The night sky exploded in Taipei.

Red, emerald green, bright purple, golden ...... The five-colored flame burst into flames, and the night sky of Taipei suddenly turned purple and red, turning into a sea of flowers, as beautiful and beautiful as a fairyland.

When the fireworks disappeared, white clouds of smoke were left in the sky. These smokes, also in the shape of flowers, flutter in the wind and continue the wonderful patterns of fireworks in the night sky.

At the State Guest House behind the Taipei County Government, the riverside viewing platform was filled with cadres, indigenous officials, and Chinese revival activists watching the fireworks.

In order to marry several princesses of Ryukyu Japan, the original Taipei County Government Guest House was changed to a State Guest House, and Tanaka Megumi and Zhu Hatsune were both transferred to serve as the chief and deputy managers of the hotel, responsible for all entertainment matters.

"It's so beautiful! The fireworks are as colorful as cherry blossoms. Junichiro Toda looked at the fireworks flying all over the sky, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I'd rather be short, as long as it is brilliant!" ”

"Smack!"

Qian Duoduo slapped Junichiro Toda in the head, "Ichiro is talking nonsense again!" ”

"Sister, you bully me again!" The red-toothed and white-toothed Xiao Zhengtai's lips suddenly turned cloudy, and he muttered his small lips, "'Flowers are like cherry blossoms, and people are like samurai', where is this wrong?" When I was in Japan, my teachers always taught me like this. ”

"Don't sell cute!"

Qian Duoduo didn't eat Junichiro Toda at all, "I said Junichiro, the Japanese are hard-working, conscientious and responsible, these are all advantages." But you are absolutely wrong to learn bushido and pursue splendor in a moment. ”

"Nani!" Megumi Tanaka and Zhu Hatsune, who were sitting next to him, widened their eyes, "Bushido is wrong?" ”

Several Japanese people watching the fireworks on the terrace turned their heads and stared intently at Qian Duoduo.

"Auntie, I've heard my dad say it." Qian Duoduo was not timid, "Japanese bushido is the philosophy of seeking death, for the so-called glory, blindly pursuing death without remembrance, death without scruples, and death without hesitation." ”

Megumi Tanaka nodded slowly, just about to say something. Junichiro had already rushed to ask, "Isn't it good to shine like fireworks in a fleeting way and fall with the wind like cherry blossoms?" ”

"It's harder to live than to die. Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Qian Duoduo flashed two big eyes, "My father said that we should live well and work hard to let the Chinese nation and the people of Yan and Huang enjoy glory again." ”

"Makes sense!" Megumi Tanaka thought so, "The instructors of Dunan Island often said to us, 'Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement'!" ”
