After chatting for a while about Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, when we parted, it seemed as if Shandong hadn't left yet. As Chen Kai was walking back to the courtyard, he couldn't help but smile a little at the corner of his mouth.

For him, this feeling, perhaps, is precisely because every time he is with this young girl, he always has the illusion that he has returned to his student days, like an addiction, which prompts his mind to

From time to time, a moment of encounter flashes through.

"It seems like we should talk about Southern Zhili today. Hey, on the 10th day of Yangzhou, there were three massacres in Jiading."

Chen Kai couldn't help but sigh. He really didn't want to talk to this girl about these heavy topics. However, there were some things in it that he had better let her understand. In other words, in fact, even if he didn't talk about it, wouldn't Anping be able to talk about it two and a half years ago?

Does she really know nothing about Zhen's blood and fire? I'm afraid it's because of that that she wants to know more.

"Well, at the end, there will be some talk about talents and beauties. For example, the troubled choices and love triangle between Liu Rushi, Chen Zilong and Qian Qianyi will be very interesting."

His mind was filled with that vivid and graceful image, and Chen Kai had even thought of telling the little girl about his glorious deeds of "a gentleman hiding his balls, and a villain hiding his cock" on the mountain road, but he was just afraid that the girl would see him.

He was acting like a hooligan, so he had to put away the idea of ​​showing "gentlemanly behavior".

As a result, work efficiency has inevitably declined. Fortunately, many things have been on the right track. Chen Kai's biggest workload now is to prepare mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks for the Ordnance Bureau's affiliated school.

Those things, in terms of mathematics, Chen Kai knows "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". Last time he was in Chaozhou, he also bought a few books such as "Taishi Arithmetic" and "Miscellaneous Works of Western Studies". Unfortunately, he has been thinking about "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".

"Elements of Geometry" and "Measurement of Measurement" were not found, which is really a pity. In addition, Song Yingxing's "Tiangong Kaiwu" and Fang Yizhi's "Little Knowledge of Physics" were easily found.

, especially the former, which actually made Chen Kai lament the ability of "Sikuquanshu" to destroy books.

Throughout the day, Chen Kai was constantly distracted preparing teaching materials. He finally made it to the next shift and hurried to the small garden again. Only this time, the girl did not arrive earlier than him.

"I had a chat with my sister-in-law, but I'm late. I hope Chen Shenjun can forgive me."

There was a bit of worry in his heart, even though Chen Kai, who was always rational, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he saw the girl coming in a hurry.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

The conversation started quickly. However, today's topic was a bit heavy, and it was reasonable to omit it. However, Chen Kai could not omit those heavy stories. After all, they were millions of lives.

"... When you step into Yangzhou City, there are blood stains and marks on the city walls everywhere. The storefronts on both sides of the street are mostly empty. Even the doors are in tatters and have fallen to the ground, letting the foxes and rats roam around.

There was a pursuit there, and there was even a deserted shop on the ground, with dead bones lying there, and no one took them away.”

"I heard that the Tatars used red cannons to open the city of Yangzhou. The army rushed in and massacred the city for ten days. It can be said that they killed everyone they saw, no matter men, women, old or young. It is said that the men were fine, and they just killed them with one knife. The Tatars

They rushed to collect gold and silver. But after the woman committed adultery, the Tatars also cut off her private parts and used them as trophies, piling them up like a hill..."

At this point, the girl had already covered her mouth, her watery eyes widened, filled with fear, and even her body was trembling slightly.

Chen Kai has never seen such a tragedy with his own eyes, but he has seen too much in writings such as "Ten Diaries of Yangzhou". It is a pain that the Chinese nation cannot forget, just like the Nanjing Massacre, but

In later generations, there are always some people with ulterior motives who continue to deny these facts under the banner of national unity. Such remarks still exist in China and have even become popular. So how should we condemn Japan's aggression?

Hua's numerous atrocities, can it be said that the Yamato tribe failed to become the 57th ethnic group?

"Why don't men become lackeys and sell out the fifty states of China? Please read the textbook. How many heroes have left their reputations?"

Things should not be like this. The backbone of a nation are those heroes who chose to fight to the death in the face of powerful enemies or to die unyielding under coercion and inducement. They are Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu, and Zhang Shijie.

It is Lu Xiangsheng, it is Shi Kefa, it is Zhang Huangyan, it is Li Dingguo, it is Li Laiheng, and it is Zheng Chenggong who he chooses to follow at this stage.

On the tenth day of Yangzhou, the Nanjing Massacre occurred. It was not that the soldiers who defended the city did not put up a desperate resistance. Even if not everyone could not change anything, they still deserved it.

A small city in Jiangyin held on for eighty-one days despite hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, more men, women, and children than all the men and women inside the city combined. Those Shengdou people in Jiangyin, they and Yan Yingyuan

, leaders like Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun are all heroes of the Chinese nation. It was they who used their lives to defend the remaining dignity of a glorious civilization that was about to be colonized by foreign races!

At this point, Chen Kai, who originally wanted to talk about romantic affairs to dilute the heavy feeling, could no longer go on. In the small pavilion, Chen Kai fell into silence, and the girl gradually recovered from the panic.

Came over.

"I hope such tragedies will never happen again in this world."

"I'm afraid it's impossible. In fact, maybe in the near future, a huge city will be massacred by the Tatars."

Chen Kai said this quietly. It is a good thing that time travelers have foresight about history, but it is not a good thing to face those tragedies that are powerless. Because the clearer you know, the more intense the pain will be, at least

Chen Kai was not ruthless enough to ignore the brutal slaughter of his compatriots.

"Last year, Jiangxi Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren planned to open up the southern Jiangxi road and connect it with Guangdong. However, when they attacked the city, the main Tatar force went south to suppress it, so they had to retreat to Nanchang and defend the provincial capital. Last September

In August, Li Chengdong led his army to attack Nangan, also to help Nanchang relieve the siege. As a result, he was defeated and returned the next month. A few days ago, I heard that Li Chengdong sent troops again, but when I think about it carefully, Nanchang has been under siege for how long.

I'm afraid that even if Li Chengdong is able to capture Nangan, he will only be able to pay tribute to the people of Nanchang when he arrives in Nanchang."

The girl was just a girl and knew nothing about these things. Chen Kai was shocked and couldn't bear it when he told it, and then it turned into anger and poured out.

"In this case, why didn't Brother Sen send troops to relieve the siege of Nanchang? Could it be that these tens of thousands of royal troops can only be used to fight the bandits? With all due respect, I'm afraid this is not Chen Canjun's style!

"

A benevolent lover will always be intolerant when faced with such a tragedy. Chen Kai appreciates the girl's kindness, but many things in this world cannot be solved with a word of kindness.

"Mrs. Zheng, do you know where Nanchang is? Do you know how far is it from Chaozhou to Nanchang? Do you know the strength of the Tatars? Do you know Li Chengdong's attitude towards us, the King of Fujian Division? You don't know anything.

!”

At this point, Chen Kai took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to the girl: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lose my temper with you. It's not your fault. But this matter is not what you imagined at all.

It's so simple, your brother Sen and I really have no choice. What we can do now is to expand our strength as much as possible, at least until the Tatars go south, and try to protect the people on this side as much as possible."

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

Chen Kai's appearance really startled the girl. She didn't know about those issues, but she vaguely remembered that on the boat, her sister-in-law Dong Yougu had mentioned to her that Shi Lang's troops were attacked by Li Chengdong's troops.

This shows how closely the plot and siege of Hao Shangjiu are related.

With a lone army thousands of miles away, even if they can ignore food and salary supplies, it is difficult for more than 10,000 people to play a key role in a battle with tens of thousands of people on each side, especially since there is a person behind it who is likely to

With the "allies" who stabbed him first, it is even more impossible to make a difference.

After sitting face to face for a long time without saying anything, the date ended on bad terms. When Chen Kai returned to the small courtyard, he no longer had the desire to have dinner. He simply fell on the bed and forced himself to fall asleep so that he could forget about these bad things.

back.

At the same time, the girl had already returned to her boudoir, but at the door of Aunt Dong You who was still recovering from illness, a figure jumped in like the wind.

"Mother, my son saw my aunt and uncle Chen chatting in the small garden."

Hearing this, Dong Yougu, who was still leaning on the bed, suddenly sat up. He glared at the maids serving in the room, clearly implying that they should not talk too much. After these people left,

After that, she faintly said, "They really do know each other."

Next, in a few words, Aunt Dong You asked Zheng Jing what her son had seen and heard, and then she frowned.

The last time Zheng Chenggong's letter arrived, he indeed mentioned that he would find a good match for Chen Kai in the clan and completely tie this unparalleled warrior to the Zheng Group's battleship. But there was no such thing as this candidate who was so close at hand.

As mentioned before, he probably didn't want Chen Kai to marry Zheng Hongkui's daughter. But now it seems that Chen Kai and this girl not only know each other, but they may already have a good impression of each other.

It's hard to say whether Chen Kai will directly propose marriage to Zheng Hongkui.
