It was daylight. Not only the main south gate, but also the other three city gates came to report. Due to the massacre of the city by the Qing army, the number of people who came to flee was still increasing. It could even be said that there was a sudden increase. Most of them were also

Still stuck at the city gate, unable to enter.

The city wall between the old city of Guangzhou and the new city encompassing the business district along the Pearl River can be said to be a life-and-death line for the people of Guangzhou. However, there are only four city gates. So far, Chen Kai has only been able to stay for three or four hours after staying up all night.

For the people in the old city of Guangzhou, time is really a drop in the bucket.

However, the city gate must be closed before the Qing army arrives. Otherwise, once the Qing army drives the people in, this line of defense will be completely ineffective. Therefore, Chen Kai must try to drag the people into the city before closing the city gate.

At this time, he placed his hope on Li Jianjie and others, because their troops were the most effective in the city and could hold up more time than the guardsmen of the Fourth Guard and the Zheng family navy he brought.

possible.

Once Li Yuantai said these words, Lin Dezhong and Cai Qiao beside Chen Kai were furious, and even Yu Fengqi frowned and responded with anger in his eyes.

Chen Kai was not angry about this. He took out the copy of Du Yonghe's appointment and asked someone to read it word for word. Then, he did not let the glaring Zhang Yue and others verify the authenticity and collected it again.

stand up.

"Are you going to use this to order us?"

Du Yong and the governor had abandoned the city and left. This was what Chen Kai had just told them. This time, not only Li Yuantai, but also Zhang Yue and Li Jianjie were furious after hearing this, but Chen Kai just shook his head and said:

"This thing was handed over to the court by me afterwards to prove my legitimacy in rescuing the people of Guangzhou. As for the three of you, I just informed you and had no other intention."

After accepting the appointment, Chen Kai continued: "I came to Guangzhou to do business. From the beginning, I have hinted to you that I, Chen Kai, want people from Guangzhou, not anything else. Now,

Please give me Chen Kai a helping hand, and our business can continue. Apart from other things, I will send you to where you want to go. In the future, I can make the final decision and buy it at a high price. As for weapons, the Arms Bureau

I also accept the low-price purchase from the three of them. Let’s make friends. In the future, whether it is the three of us or Uncle Nanyang, there will always be times when we fight side by side on the Guangdong battlefield.”

"Humph, what Governor Chen said is true, but how do we know it's not a lie?"

"Even if you don't say any lies, do you still expect me to continue to believe you?"

When it came to this point, Chen Kai did not continue to increase the pressure. Instead, he laughed loudly, which attracted the attention of everyone around him.

"Yes, you guys do have other choices. For example, surrender the Tatars, or arrest me as a greeting gift to Shang Kexi, and I won't think there is anything abnormal. In my opinion

Judging from the perspective of my eyes, if the enemy force was strong, Lord Zhang might have endured the humiliation for a year and a half, and then he would fight the Tatars until the end.

How about it, I just say that Uncle Nanyang will never surrender, do you want to take a gamble?"

Chen Kai's words were quite rude, but after the three of them heard it, they didn't even say a word in rebuttal, which really made Lin Dezhong, Cai Qiao, Yu Fenqi and others look at him for a moment.

Historically, after Shang Kexi captured Guangzhou, he soon began to sweep Gao Lian and Lei Qiong. Under such circumstances, Zhang Yue chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, but when Li Dingguo moved to Guangdong, he immediately jumped out. Like this

It was not that he had not thought about the choice, but at this moment, Chen Kai directly said it into his heart, and he was extremely shocked. Although the Nanyang Bo Li Yuanyin, Li Yuantai and Li Jianjie did not know their thoughts, they had been brothers for many years, so how could they

They couldn't tell that he was a guy who would rather die than surrender. Nine times out of ten, he would be like what Chen Kai said, but Chen Kai had never seen Li Yuanyin before. This was what frightened them the most.

"By the way, there is something I haven't told you yet. On August 15th, Marquis Weiyuan went to Xiamen Island and had a discussion with Uncle Yongsheng and Uncle Dingyuan. He said that Xiaguan was still here at that time.

It was unclear on the way to Guangzhou, but the news brought by Uncle Hong was that the two uncles had decided to hand over all the tribes. In addition, Ding Guogong also planned to promote the reunification of the Fujian King Division, and

Marquis Weiyuan has already discussed it. When Xiaguan returns to Xiamen, he will officially marry Dingguo Gong's daughter-in-law, who is also the official's betrothed wife. After the Grand Master leaves, the troops and fleet assigned to Ding Guo Gong will be

The property returns to its original owner.”

"Chen, how dare you threaten me?!"

The power of the Zheng family on the coast of Fujian and Guangdong is not only reflected in the number of troops and ships. There are many hidden strengths that they cannot see but can still feel. As for Chen Kai's identity,

Now he is no longer just a useful aide to Zheng Chenggong, but also the son-in-law of Zheng Hongkui. If Chen Kai fails in such a relationship, even if it is only a superficial layer of skin, the Zheng family will definitely come to ask for him.

It is said that when the time comes, there will be no place for them to live safely on this sea.

Li Yuantai naturally understood this truth, but he was still furious when he heard this, but Chen Kai didn't take it seriously and just sneered slightly.

"Whether it is a threat or not, how will Uncle Sui understand it? This is your business and has nothing to do with me, Chen Kai. But, Uncle Wu and Yin Shuai already know, and they have already made their choice. Do Du Zhijun know or not?

But it doesn't matter. He is a loser, and I don't care about him. But for the three of them, Chen Kai is confident that they are all good men with blood. The Zheng family and I are willing to make friends with the three of them.

This friend, it depends on how the three of you answer."

The choice returned to the hands of the three of them, but under Chen Kai's bright eyes, they did not hesitate for long and quickly made their answers.

"We brothers are not fighting for bullshit, nor for these untouchables, but for my adoptive father and brother, and we will fight one more round!"

Li Yuantai stood with his head held high, and Li Jianjie nodded heavily. After the two of them were confirmed, Chen Kai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then turned to Zhang Yue: "Master Zhang, how are you?"

"Okay, okay, okay, all the Li brothers are like this, and I, Zhang, have nothing to say. It's been a long time since I've met someone as smart as you, Magistrate Chen, and now I've made you my friend!"

After the fall of Guangzhou, even if they withdrew, they still suffered huge losses in the wealth they had accumulated over the years. Without Chen Kai's operation, the maritime trade would not be able to recover quickly.

Next, Chen Kai, Zhang Yue, Li Yuantai, Li Jianjie, and Yu Fenqi began to discuss combat strategies. Chen Kai also released his final preparations, which surprised the three of them. A moment later, the people who had just poured in

The army in the city fell back with Zhang Yue and others, while the people in the city swarmed in.

After everything was settled, Chen Kai and Yu Fengqi returned to the city. Looking down, Zhang Yue, Li Yuantai and Li Jianjie spread out and began to set up defenses near Guide Gate, Zhengnan Gate and Wenming Gate. They looked back.

, Chen Kai looked sideways at Yu Fengqi, this high-ranking official probably had no chance of running away from him, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

However, the smile did not last long. In the distance, gray-blue turbidity began to slowly flow from the edge of the line of sight along the street.
