Chapter 307: The Hantang Group Really Made a Mistake
"Pretend, we're not afraid of such people, wait for the next time to let him make two thousand, and see what it will be like-"
Captain Wu Jianqiang took the conversation.
Daru didn't need to look back, he knew that it was the captain who was coming, he quickly put down all the objects in his hand, stood up, and "snapped" to a standard upright.
Wu Hualong is a dead pig on his face, and he can only swing his fingers and kick his legs, which can be regarded as a greeting.
Captain Wu Jianqiang waved his hand at Daru, who was standing straight, and said, "Whatever, Daru, it's everyone's rest time now—"
Then he sat down on the edge of the bed, picked up what Daru had just put down, and then rubbed the potion on Wu Hualong's knee - Captain Wu Jianqiang said casually: "Why don't you light the calcium carbide lamp?" Calcium carbide is now sent every month, I'm not afraid that there will be no in the future, how bright that thing is-"
Wu Hualong lay on the bed and snorted, "It's too bright, and it's too smelly—"
"Yes, that smell smells in my head, and my brain hurts!" Daru immediately continued, "Actually, Captain Wu didn't smell it, it's fine, he was afraid that my brain hurt - he only used it when I wasn't there. ”
", comradeship!" Captain Wu Jianqiang wiped Wu Hualong's wound vigorously and said, "Look, in any battle, you don't think about the safety of the soldiers first, only think about victory, this is not right-maybe I thought the same way before, but later when I was older, I thought that there were many ways to win without dying -- but unfortunately it was too late -- do you think you have the brains to make two team members injured?? ”
"Captain Wu, this really can't be blamed on me, who knew that the donkey could kick and hurt people when he got on the boat! If it weren't for the fact that we don't have a big livestock here, I'd just eat the fucking meat! I was so angry—"
"It's not important, let's talk about it, what is the reason why you were punished this time?"
"I understand, this Hantang Group just can't underestimate the enemy, if it's an enemy, he will directly kill the other party, no matter what method he uses! -- Let's not lose -- "
"Right!" Captain Wu Jianqiang poked Wu Hualong's knee fiercely.
This time, Wu Hualong was unprepared and screamed in pain.
Daru was laughing alone.
The Spring Festival in 1650 was on February 1, when Taiwan's Han and Tang groups were happily preparing for the New Year, and the people of the Han and Tang groups did not expect that they secretly folded face in the Ming Mainland.
Although this face is broken, fortunately, no one knows the inside story, only people inside the Hantang Group will know.
It was about the beginning of January 1650 that there was a rumor in the city of Guangzhou, saying that within a month, the city of Guangzhou would be surrounded by Shang Kexi, the "king of Pingnan" and Geng Jimao, the "king of Jingnan" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and that no one in Guangzhou could escape, so if you want to save your life, hurry up and find a way to run - the news is very true, not to mention, and it spreads very quickly, which suddenly makes the people in Guangzhou panic.
However, at this time, the news of the fall of Nanxiong Mansion in Guangdong has not yet arrived, and many people still have a trace of illusion, thinking that Nanxiong Mansion, with high walls and difficult cities, and 6,000 soldiers and guards, how can it be a good match?!
Some businessmen also said that they had only imported some eucommia, pine resin, and Tianqi from Nanxiong last month, and they heard that it had been quiet there.
Nanxiong, a famous city in Guangdong, is located in the northeast of Guangdong, at the southern foot of the Dayu Mountains, adjacent to Jiangxi and Hunan, and is the main road from Lingnan to the Central Plains since ancient times.
The Manchu garrison in Jiangxi was intended to be unfavorable to Guangdong, which was well known to everyone in Guangzhou, but everyone pinned their hopes on Nanxiong -- it would definitely be able to hold it!
I heard that the Manchu official Feng Shang Kexi was the "King of Pingnan", gave him a gold seal and a golden book, and Geng Zhongming, the "King of Jingnan", marched into Guangdong with the old department of Jiakou. When they marched to Wuchang, due to the violation of military law by his subordinates, Geng Zhongming, the king of Jingnan, was sentenced to death in fear of crime, and his son Geng Jimao took over, and the two armies were under the control of the king of Pingnan.
Du Yunhe, the governor of Liangguang, also said: "That Shang Kexi, Geng Jimao, as a Han Chinese, is willing to be driven by the Tartars, but the Tartars do not trust them and others very much, and there are still suspicions that Li Chengdong and Jin Shengheng have betrayed the Qing Dynasty, otherwise, how can they be scared to death because they are small?"
Thinking of the puppet king Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, a rabbit died and a fox was sad, and a father was lost, so they stationed troops in Jiangxi and did not move--now they are at the end of the first rat--if there is a person who understands the righteousness and can speak eloquently at this time--persuade them to submit to my Ming Dynasty and repeat the incident of Li Chengdong, it may not be known-"
Officials in Guangzhou were convinced.
The person of persuasion was supposed to be Du Yunhe's chief staff, but he suddenly became very ill and had to choose someone else.
When the relevant personnel were being selected, rumors suddenly broke out in the city, which really annoyed the officials in Guangzhou.
What is this behavior? It is an act that destroys the stability of my Ming Dynasty, and it is an act that undermines my Ming Dynasty's strategy!
Check, check to the end; Prohibit rumors, spread rumors and convict!
The crime of words is really difficult to investigate - some people say that it was said by the monk of Youfang; Some people say that it was said by the Taoist priest; There are also people who lead the car and sell pulp; What's more, it was said that it was said by a porter passing by.
In the end, the matter had no choice but to be resolved, and the prefect of Guangzhou had no choice but to hastily promulgate a law of reporting, saying that anyone who was in danger of the overall situation could report it, and there would be a reward for the investigation.
But if there is a disagreement with me, but where there is a personal enmity, what he says can be reported, one to report the hatred in his heart, and the other to get some rewards and flowers, how not?
The head of the prefect of Guangzhou suddenly became bigger. At first, the officials of the Guangzhou Prefecture still had the heart to verify -- but the results of the verification were often untrue, and it seemed that the officers were very foolish in their conduct of verification, so the officers let the people who reported the crime lie on the street, and whipped them a few times until they had their clothes to shred their clothes before they could relieve their hatred -- as a result, two words "hit the streets" and "rotten boys" became popular in the city of Guangzhou, which were originally intended to scold those villains who wanted to report and get rewards, but later they were extended and had a wide range of applications.
When he was busy strategizing, investigating rumors, and reporting in the city of Guangzhou, bad news suddenly came that the Nanxiong Pass in Guangdong had been broken.
Later, more accurate news came, it turned out that after the "King of Pingnan" Shang Kexi and the "King of Jingnan" Geng Jimao Tun soldiers in the south of Jiangxi, they ostensibly did not move, but privately sent elite soldiers to smuggle across Meiling, and at the same time secretly sent more than 100 spies to infiltrate Nanxiong in batches, and on the agreed night, they set fire everywhere to make the city panic, and directly opened the city gate, and the main force of the Manchu Qing army, which had been ambushed early, swarmed in.
More than 6,000 soldiers defending the city died in battle, and the inhabitants of the city were slaughtered.
After hearing the news, the city of Guangzhou suddenly fell silent.
Guangzhou City, now only the protection of a pass in Shaoguan is left.
The rumors in Guangzhou City were spread by He Bin, the manager of Guangfa Logistics Company, and personally went to the southeast, northwest, and northwest cities of the city with a few men.
Since the establishment of Guangfa Logistics Company, it has organized several batches of cargo transportation, of course, including passenger transportation, but He Bin carefully calculated the accounts, excluding the corresponding expenses, his company really did not earn a few silver taels - if it weren't for the Guangzhou Navy commander Wu Wenmin saved them the corresponding unspoken rules and costs, and there was no need to go on the ship to inspect, and there was no need to send troops to escort the logistics company, and the logistics company had to lose some capital first - of course, just started to do business, everyone has a long-term plan, and it is impossible to open the door to earn silver, But wouldn't it be better to earn some?
When Manager He Bin received the order of the Hantang Group to spread rumors, he smiled bitterly, this Hantang Group had no choice, and he didn't use the poster to advertise it.
At that time, after those posters were printed, Manager He Bin personally led people to post them in a conspicuous place one by one. At the beginning, it attracted countless people to stop and watch, and many citizens immediately liked this poster, and by the way remembered its content - on the bank of the Pearl River, there is a Guangfa logistics company, where the fixed time to the barbarian land of Taiwan - or not now, I heard that there is a big city, and there are all kinds of fancy objects, the most famous is the fruit candy, all kinds of flavors, very delicious.
Manager He Bin's worries have become a reality, someone will always take the poster away, whether it is pasting the window, or rubbing the butt - this is unlikely, it is too hard.
Manager He Bin had no choice but to reprint and paste it more firmly -- fewer posters were revealed. In fact, at this time, it was already possible to reach the well-known Cheng dù.
But Manager He Bin has not relaxed his propaganda work, it seems that businessmen are born advertising experts, and he painted a large poster on the white plastered building outside his office building, which is rough enough, but large enough to be particularly eye-catching, and no one can take it off -- this has become a scene of the Pearl River.
The publicity effect is there, but we still have to see the actual effect. That's how the freight volume is, it's not a plague; Passenger traffic is even more ordinary, just a little bit.
Manager He Bin is also secretly anxious and is thinking of a way. At this time, he received an order to spread rumors. Manager He Bin said in his heart, Hantang Group has no choice, and it is okay to make this decision, but it doesn't matter, although this plan can't be elegant, but it is also a helpless move. Even Manager He Bin himself did not believe that Nanxiongguan would be directly defeated by the Manchus. The Nanxiongguan city wall, I heard that it is no less than the Guangzhou city wall.
As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise. Perhaps this means that the wise man listened to it and believed it, resorted to practice, and did not spread it again.
Of course, this is what Manager He Bin himself wants.
Some wise people wouldn't believe it at the time, and they simply ignored it. In any case, the rumors still had a certain effect, and some merchants' families really sent people with their families to follow the ship to Taiwan, but this was generally only an act of branching - the medium-sized immigration phenomenon that Manager He Bin hoped for did not appear.
Manager He Bin is on fire again, posters have been posted, and rumors have been spread, what else should I do? You can't force it with a knife, can you?
Subsequently, the news of the destruction of Nanxiong Pass came - Manager He Bin was stunned for a moment, is this still a rumor?! This is a step by step towards the truth!
Others also think so, so the passenger traffic rose all of a sudden, and Manager He Bin watched the turnover rise with a heavy heart - at this time, he received an order to be ready to evacuate at any time, to evacuate all, leaving only the local mercenaries to guard - the time point of evacuation is that Shaoguan was captured!
After a few days, there was no news in northern Guangdong, and I heard that the Manchu Qing Dynasty had retreated, and stayed in Nanxiong and did not move.
The rumors spread by the Hantang Group are self-defeating.
The city of Guangzhou was not besieged in February, and even the city of Shaoguan was not besieged.
Of course, except for the people of GF Logistics, no one knows that this rumor is related to the Hantang Group, but the people of the Hantang Group themselves know that this time, they really made a mistake.
