Chapter 175 Struggle (2)
When Dongjiang Town was in its heyday, there were many generals, and they were at odds with the Manchus. However, in the end, the three kings of Shunshun and the Duke of Xushun were produced, which made people sigh.
In fact, not all traitors in this world have made up their mind to be traitors from the beginning. In the final analysis, it is still due to personal choices and cannot blame others. Now, Shang Kexi has become the person he hated most when he was young.
Compared with "little brats" like Geng Jimao who have not experienced that past, they are even more hostile to people like Chen Kai who are working hard to save the nation.
The armies of the two vassals had been stationed in the city for more than half a year, so naturally they still had to let go of the slaughter. As for the rough work of attacking Chen Kai, Shang Kexi naturally handed it over to the green soldiers such as Guo Hu, Xian Qiyu and Gao Jinku
Doing it will also give them an opportunity to make contributions.
"Uncle, are those green soldiers enough?"
"It's enough. In the south of Guangzhou City, there are only left guards and right guards, as well as the Zheng family navy brought by Chen Kai, a group of boneless guard soldiers and sailors who couldn't even stand in line when they landed ashore. The number is still so much smaller than them.
If you can’t even do this, then it will be new.”
"Then Du Yonghe..."
"Don't worry, if you don't try your best to block the gap, you must have run away long ago."
"What my uncle said is true. They are not locals, so why should they bleed for the city of Guangzhou?"
Guo Hu and Gao Jinku's troops were in the north of Guangzhou City, suppressing the sporadic resistance of the Ming army. After receiving the order, the second general did not dare to hesitate at all, and quickly led the green battalion soldiers from the town and the Association directly to the south of the city.
go.
The other unit, Xian Qiyu's unit, was not with them, but cooperated with the left wing of Pingnan Fan and the left wing of Jingnan Fan to contain the east city of Guangzhou. However, at this time, Du Yonghe fled and the defenders also
To abandon the city and leave, the defenders of the originally heavily fortified East City had already turned into birds and beasts. The army opened the East Gate with a single charge, and then received an order to wait for the vassal soldiers to start massacring the city. Xian Qiyu had no choice but to
He quickly led his troops to the south of the city.
In the east of Guangzhou City, the Qing army's massacre unfolded just as it did in the west of the city. The cries of killing, begging, and crying were intertwined and spread to the north, middle, and south of the city.
In a relatively secretive courtyard in the east of the city, Yu Shuzhi, who was guarding a group of remaining soldiers, managed to fight back. His troops had been scattered by the Qing army at the east gate. With his familiarity with the terrain, he managed to get away.
The pursuers of the Qing army then found an opportunity to swoop in and kill several lone Qing soldiers before quickly retreating here.
In the courtyard, the remnants of guerrilla general Guo Yao and Du Si Cui Yinglong were also concentrated here. There were dozens of them, but the situation was not very good. Especially Cui Yinglong, who only had a dozen or so defeated soldiers left.
Everyone is injured, it’s really not the same thing.
"Guo, you saved my life. I appreciate your kindness. But you refused to reveal to me such a big thing as planning to organize people to evacuate. Do you not believe that I, Cui Yinglong, am a Yan person?!"
As soon as Yu Shuzhi entered the courtyard, he saw Cui Yinglong grabbing Guo Yao and asking loudly. Guo Yao followed Yuan Chonghuan to the north, and he could usually chat with Cui Yinglong, a northerner. However, the matter was so important. Since Chen Kai only
He connected the grassroots civil servants and local generals and high schools like them, but did not extend the scope of the connection to non-locals. No matter how good his friendship was on weekdays, he would not dare to leak the matter casually.
This matter was said to be Chen Kai's consideration, but Guo Yao couldn't put the problem on Chen Kai, so he had to apologize. Fortunately, Yu Shuzhi rushed over and tried to persuade him. Cui Yinglong also studied etiquette.
Yes, knowing that the situation is urgent and not entangled too much, this matter is considered to be over.
"The Tatar soldiers are capable of fighting. Damn it. They fight with more than they can and rely on their familiarity with the terrain. It's not easy to kill and injure some of their subordinates with just five heads."
After killing four knights, plus a civil servant who didn't have time to figure out their rank, Yu Shuzhi threw a few heads to the ground proudly, and was immediately envied by everyone.
The head is here. It's a pity that the horse was too big and had to be thrown on the spot. Otherwise, it would be so blatant that they would not be able to come back here from the east gate alive to rest for a while.
"A certain person brought people over from Liumai Canal, and there were already many people hiding inside. I asked briefly, and most of them were unable to leave their hometown, and they didn't listen to what the village elders and Li Zhengs said.
At this moment, there is probably no way to escape. They plan to hide there until the Tatars order the seal..."
Liumai Canal is the main water body network in Guangzhou, taking into account a series of functions such as drainage, flood control, fire prevention, navigation, etc. Nowadays, as the Qing army's order to massacre the city has begun, many people simply use it as a hiding place.
In order to survive until the moment when the Qing army seals the sword.
"Prefect Chen has expected everything. It is a great blessing for the country to have such a strange person. It is a pity that Mr. Cui has no chance to meet him. It is really a great regret in this life."
Cui Yinglong pointed out that it was Chen Kai who had anticipated the Qing army's destruction and massacre of the city, and had already begun to deploy and organize the people to evacuate before that. In other words, although he failed to participate in the conspiracy, he understood what Guo Yao said.
, he also made up his mind to die here, trying to hold off the Qing army for as long as possible.
They didn't just hide here to survive. After taking a short rest, they left the courtyard in batches and went to various places to wait for opportunities to intercept and kill the Qing troops massacring the city, creating as much chaos as possible. However, with these hundreds of
However, they really couldn't afford to make a big splash. Gradually, they were submerged in the crowd of Qing troops, just like their choice in history.
The Qing army was assigned by Shang Kexi and strode towards the south of the city. At the same time, the confrontation between Chen Kai, Zhang Yue, Li Jianjie and Li Yuantai who arrived later was still not over.
"Prefect Chen is so scheming that he has us all under his control. Why, are you planning to take care of us as well so that we can make full use of your merits?"
Li Yuantai had just arrived, and he had already figured out the secret on the way. He brought him to see Chen Kai. Before Li Jianjie could finish what Chen Kai had just said to him and Zhang Yue, he was already furious. If it weren't for
Li Jianjie and Zhang Yue are still blocking him, so he might have to stage a full martial arts show with Chen Kai.
"Fourth brother, wait until Magistrate Chen has finished what he has to say."
"Okay, let's see what else he has to say!"
His eyes were focused on Chen Kai, but he was not in a hurry. He simply continued what he had just finished: "The three of you can see the situation here clearly. The ship is now in my Chen Kai's possession."
In my hand, it is not difficult to send you all away from here, but I need three men to bring my soldiers into the city for another round of killing, and I need at least an hour to put all the people at the city gate into the new city."
