Lin Cha's fleet set sail and sailed down the Pearl River. Chen Kai looked into the distance, and the stone in his heart fell a little. Apart from other things, at least the first batch of 20,000 to 34,000 military households were separated.

It's a dangerous place, but once I think about the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, my heart just feels a little relieved and then it becomes full again.

"Time is running out. There is probably less than an hour left before dawn."

It's not that Chen Kai didn't want to start earlier, but the Qing army's bombardment of the city wall hadn't officially started, so he couldn't convince Wu Wenwen and Yin Zhirong. If they couldn't get around them, and Du Yonghe intervened, there was no way he could get it done.

At this moment, Wu Wenwen and Yin Zhirong had no time to react, because everyone knew that there would eventually be a result at dawn. By then, if the Qing army entered the city, they would not even have any leverage.

, other than retreating in a hurry, where can I get such generous treatment like now?

Now that Du Yonghe is kept in the dark, Chen Kai can get things started without any constraints. However, everything has pros and cons, and the time left for him is too tight, so he must get things done as quickly as possible.

Only by standing up can we ensure that more people are rescued.

"Quickly, let the officials, government officials, village elders, and villagers listen to the instructions. The more chaos there is, the more time will be wasted."

For the entire evacuation route, Guangzhou City is the starting point and Hong Kong Island is the end point. As for Chaozhou, it will be done after everything is completed and can be ignored for the time being. Among them, the south of Guangzhou City, Henan Island above the Pearl River and the Mazu Temple on Nansha Island on the Lingding Ocean

, Chen Kai also arranged manpower to serve as a transfer station.

To this end, Chen Kai contacted the prefect of Guangzhou and the magistrates of Nanhai and Panyu counties. They used the administrative system and relied on the organizational chain of officials, government officials, village elders, and Li Zheng to organize the evacuation of the people.

In addition, Chen Kai brought a large number of Chaozhou officials and government servants. They were divided into three. Some were waiting for resettlement on Hong Kong Island, some were responsible for dispatching transfers at the transfer station of Nansha Mazu Temple, and others were not in the transfer station.

On Henan Island, it is here to help organize the people to move forward. Everything has been trained on Hong Kong Island. They are also cadres transferred from various counties. However, Chen Kai has no idea how far the actual effect can be achieved.

There is no confidence at all.

The four city gates were open, and a large number of people, led by these "grassroots administrative officials", slowly marched towards the south pier of the city. There were cries and cries one after another. They were not at all as suppressed and silent as those military households. Even if they were sad and crying, they were not at all depressed.

They all lowered their voices, fearing to distract their relatives who resolutely stayed in the city to fight the Qing army.

The people were still marching slowly. From time to time, people from Chengnanfang Lane and Oldchengfang Lane would cause trouble on the road because of the order of queues. At this time, there would be local officials from Guangzhou and others.

Chen Kai brought Chaozhou officials to coordinate and ensure that the roads were smooth.

The crowd is still moving, time is passing by, and the earliest batch has arrived at the pier. On the pier, large ships and small boats have been prepared, and they are still taking the streets as units, and they are boarding the ships in batches according to the instructions.

First came the big boat, and after gathering enough, it set sail, and then came the small boat, but the small boat did not go down smoothly. Instead, it rowed to Henan Island on the Pearl River and stopped, leaving the people there for the time being, and then turned around.

Continue to the dock to transport people.

Fortunately, the Pearl River can be used as a shield, but the number of ships is not enough to continuously transport people to Hong Kong, not even to the Mazu Temple in Nansha.

In this case, Chen Kai simply separated the large and small ships. The larger ones can carry more people and go directly to the transfer station or destination. The smaller ones have the advantage of turning around and transporting the people to Jiangxinzhou as soon as possible, which can not only relieve the dock

pressure, and it can also provide a layer of insurance - even if the Qing army really comes over and the ships are in Chen Kai's hands, they can only look at the river and sigh.

However, the ships outside Guangzhou are all civilian ships, varying in size, and due to the siege, many large ships for sea trade have left here, but those that can carry hundreds of people and those that can carry dozens of people

Even a small boat with more than ten people seems to be more.

Small boats plyed in the upstream area to the south and west of Guangzhou City, while large boats transported people directly downstream. Henan Island served as a transfer station, but many people who found that they could not leave the dangerous area immediately started to riot, and even some

To seize the boat and escape.

"Whoever dares to disobey orders will be thrown back into the city to be killed by the Tatars!"

On the pier in the distance, an officer drew his sword and shouted angrily. The women and children who were shouting just now were so frightened that they took a few steps back, squeaking and daring not to make any more noise. But at this moment, the people in Tongfang Alley

However, a few young men made a big fuss and demanded that they be sent away directly and not transited on the island.

The Ding Zhuangs got into a fuss, and the movement of people in the entire area was hindered. Seeing this, the officer shouted, and cut off the head of the leading Ding Zhuang with a knife, and then held the blood-stained sword and

glare.

"Anyone who disobeys orders will end up like this guy!"

More and more naval officers began to gather. The people in the city, who had never seen such a scene before, screamed for a while, and were soon controlled by Li Zheng who was traveling with him and the government officials who ran not far away.

I boarded the boat step by step, how dare I disobey it even a little bit.

The head was hung up, thinking that those who came later would be warned, and the news was quickly sent to Chen Kai. He was informed to ensure order, but said nothing more.

People are still traveling southward, and Chen Kai is more concerned about the city gate than the dock. He had already informed the local officials earlier that the people were not allowed to carry more than one baggage of belongings, because the more items on the ship, the more

, the less people can carry, but when they get there, many people still carry a lot of belongings, and many even drive big carts or push small carts, as if fleeing from the famine, and they seem to be eager to take away the animals pulling the carts.

Put them all on the ship together.

"My elders, I have already said before we came here. There is not so much space on the ship. Each person carries one baggage, no more. If there is more, other people will not be able to get on the ship. Do you have to watch your friends?

Were our neighbors killed by the Tatars because they couldn’t get on the boats?”

Ding Youyi, the official of Panyu, was still shouting loudly at the small south gate, which can be said to be a sincere and sincere message. His parents and his in-laws were waiting by the roadside. It was obvious that they were well-educated. At least they knew that their son and son-in-law were there.

When doing important things for the country and the people, you can't be held back. His wife was also there without any complaints, but the newly born child didn't care about so many things. He was crying and fussing. I don't know if he was frightened or was it.

hungry.

Speaking of which, he came here with his family, but the place was so chaotic that he didn't even care about his wife, children, and children, so he had to do his best to maintain order here. However, even if it was like this, who would be willing to leave his family behind?

of possessions.

"Official Ding Dian, Magistrate Chen has invited you."

Ding Youyi was so busy that a Panyu County government official invited him to the roadside. There, Chen Kai was talking to his father and father-in-law. When he rushed over sweating profusely, he heard Chen Kai

He told his father that his infant son would be blessed if he survived a disaster.

"Ding Youyi, a humble official, has met Magistrate Chen."

Turning around, a dignified-looking official was bowing in salute. Chen Kai spared him the courtesy and asked about the situation in the city. However, once these were mentioned, even Ding Youyi couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"To be honest, Magistrate Chen, many people are reluctant to leave their hometown and are unwilling to leave their hometown for fear of visiting guests and dying in a foreign land."

Guangzhou is an important town in the South of China, where merchants gather, and Nanyang Sea Trade is an extremely important trade center in South China. But even so, such worries are unavoidable, which really leaves Chen Kai speechless.

"There are still many officials, government officials, village elders, and Li Zhengmen. They don't want to leave Guangzhou, so there is great resistance from the people..."

"They don't want to leave and want to be obedient citizens of the Tatars, so they drag a group of fellow villagers to die with them?"

People's hearts were selfish. These "grassroots civil servants" did not want to leave their hometowns and leave their fate in the hands of others. They also did not want to rule the people too much and cause dissatisfaction with the Qing army. These assistances turned into resistance.

As soon as Chen Kai's cold words came out, he seemed to be indifferent. However, he did not continue to struggle with this. Everyone has the right to choose. Some people are afraid of leaving their hometown, while others tend to listen to those selfish villagers.

If Mr. Li corrects our opinions, is it possible that he still has to go into the city and go door to door to persuade them?

Chen Kai, whose surname is Chen and whose first name is Kai, also has the courtesy name Jingcheng. Although he has not yet taken the nickname, he has never thought of calling him Holy Mother!

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and there are so many things that can't be controlled. If the Tatars don't massacre the city, that would be the best. But if they massacre the city, it is their own choice. At least, I will give them the opportunity."

It was impossible not to massacre the city. These people who insisted on staying in the city were basically doomed. After saying that, Chen Kai took a deep breath and asked Ding Youyi to take his family members to the pier to take a boat.

Youyida can go there to organize the people and maintain order, which can be regarded as a matter of public and private convenience.

In fact, the reason why Chen Kai appeared here was because this humble magistrate had a deep impression on him that was rare in the Guangzhou Massacre. He remembered that someone had posted on the forum before, saying that it was "Panyu County Chronicle"

Records: After the Panyu official Ding Youyi and his wife were killed: "The next day, the abandoned children crouched beside the corpses, sucking their breasts, and everyone who passed by them burst into tears." Dying babies instinctively search for their dead mothers and suck the milk from the corpses.

**, how miserable it is!

The image of this record was so powerful that Chen Kai was so shocked that he could not speak for a long time. So until this moment, when he heard that the person maintaining order at the Xiaonan Gate was this clerk, he rushed there immediately.

Came over.

"Prefect Chen has great love, and I am deeply grateful for the humble position. However, this is the responsibility of the humble position. The county elders have entrusted the heavy responsibility to the humble position. The humble duty must be completed properly in order to live up to the entrustment."

After Ding Youyi said that, he bowed respectfully, and then rushed to the city gate to continue to maintain order and persuade the people. But at this moment, Chen Kai grabbed him and said to him

Said: "Your method is useless, it's up to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Kai strode forward. Then, he took an iron trumpet from Lin Dezhong who was following him, and then shouted: "I am Chen Kai, the governor of Zhangzhou Prefecture. Please listen carefully."
