Chen Kai can understand the enthusiasm of the people. If he could escape from such a desperate situation, he would still be grateful to the rescuer. This is human nature. But when he finally squeezed out of the crowd

, I returned to the big tent and wanted to have dinner. Then I looked at the official uniform I was wearing. Not only was it wrinkled, it was also dirty. I couldn’t even see a few fingerprints on it. The most speechless thing was the official uniform.

There were also a few tears, but he didn't even hear the sound of the fabric tearing from beginning to end.

"The people of Guangzhou are really enthusiastic. It's so successful. I deserve it."

Lin Cha's joke immediately caused the generals to burst into laughter, making even Chen Kai dumbfounded. He had to rush for dinner to get rid of the embarrassment, which made them laugh even more.

After dinner, Chen Kai, Lin Cha, Zhou Rui, Hong Xu and others went through the next action plan in detail. Then after Chen Kai proposed a new idea, Hong Xu questioned it.

But it soon disappeared. Early the next morning, Chen Qice came to say goodbye and was about to return to Xiachuan Island with the captured goods for repairs, but Chen Kai invited him to the Chinese army's tent.

"Prefect Chen..."

As soon as Chen Qice opened his mouth, he was stopped by Chen Kai: "We all have the surname Chen, and we might have been relatives eight hundred years ago. Apart from that, I feel very warm to come to help you. If you don't want to see anyone else, you can call me

Jingcheng, how about I call you Hongshi and omit the official titles of those chief soldiers and prefects?"

It had been a day since they arrived on Hong Kong Island. Chen Kai and the others were trying their best to resettle the people. Chen Qice, as a foreign general, simply stayed on the ship and did not come out to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Seeing that Chen Kai wanted to get close to Chen Kai at this moment, he also expressed his feelings towards Chen Kai.

Deeply impressed by Kai's ability and love for the people, the two immediately became familiar with each other, and their relationship became closer.

"For today's matter, to put it bluntly, I still have to ask Hongshi for help..."

"Don't mention the word "help". Jingcheng saved many of my fellow villagers this time, including several distant relatives of my family and my in-laws' family. If there is anything you need me, Chen Qice, to do, please speak up.

.”

Chen Qice was very cheerful, and Chen Kai did not intend to continue to be polite. Next, he proposed that some people were resistant to going to places as far away as Chaozhou, and planned to hand these people over to Chen Qice. How to put it, the distance from Xiachuan Island

No matter how far away the city of Guangzhou is, it is still closer than Chaozhou, and it doesn’t even leave Guangzhou Prefecture, right?

Population is the most important resource. Because of the existence of people, other wealth can be created, soldiers can be raised to fight, and a larger territory can be occupied. This time, Chen Qice was invited to come. In the Battle of the Pearl River, a large number of Qing warships were captured

, he finally made up for the losses in the Sanshui Battle, and also made a little profit. Even the hundreds of Qing soldiers he captured were regarded as treasures, and he planned to take them back for training, and then

Replenish it to the army and form a viable force.

Regarding these, the Zheng Group represented by Chen Kai did not bully the small ones. It can be said that Chen Qice did not taste the sweetness of cooperation with Chen Kai. But for the rescued people and the ships at the Guangzhou dock, Chen Qice did not

No idea at all, because after all, it was obtained by Chen Kai's hard work, and it was the legitimate income after the Zheng Group's investment was completed.

"this……"

Chen Qice hesitated, but Chen Kai did not give him any time to hesitate: "Hongshi doesn't need to worry that I will use these people to ask you to do something for me and the country. We are gentlemen and don't talk about that.

To put it bluntly, there are nearly 130,000 people here, and it will be difficult for Chaozhou to digest them. Since there are people who cannot leave their homeland, it is not inconvenient for me to force them. I just want to let them go back to the Tatars.

If Ding gives the grain, it is better to give it to Hongshi to enhance the strength of Master Wang."

This time, Chen Kai explained the matter clearly. Chen Qice was deeply impressed by his honesty and could only salute and thank him, but he was still stopped by Chen Kai.

"Hongshi, we don't need this."

In addition to the common people, Chen Kai will also give him some small boats. Although they are just fishing boats, they can also strengthen fishery production, which is of great benefit to feeding the newly attached population.

On this whole day, the fourth day of November in the fourth year of Yongli, Chen Kai sorted out the people who did not want to go to Chaozhou. There were about 12,000 people, and all of them were sent to Chen Qice's fleet, even those that could not fit in them.

, he also brought a fleet to accompany him. When he came back from Xiachuan Island the next day, he did not return directly to Hong Kong. Instead, he took the fleet rented from Macau and returned to their owner.

Return to original owner.

These ten ships all have captains, first mates and sailors from Macau. Chen Kai signed a lease contract with the Macau Council, but there was no collateral. It was just in the name of Zheng Chenggong.

Fortunately, the Zheng Group's reputation in China Maritime is pretty good, and its strength is indeed there. Macau has the intention to further strengthen cooperation, so it did not dwell on it and settled on it. As a result, these ships did play their role.

It has a certain effect and has helped transport a large number of people.

This time, Chen Kai was sitting on the armed merchant ship. The huge hull made him feel condescending when he looked at the Ming army ships around him. He couldn't tell what type of ship this ship was.

But this time it still gave him a huge shock, shocked by the huge influence of colonization on the prosperity of the European shipbuilding industry.

“If you fall behind, you have to catch up!”

Landing on Macau Island again, Chen Kai was immediately greeted by the Governor of Macau, Fei Susha, and all the Portuguese gentlemen of the Macau Council, as if they were welcoming the triumphal return of their country's heroes. When he was on his way to the council hall at the Fortress, Macau

The Han people on the island even came out to welcome him, old and young, and were proud to see Chen Kai with their own eyes. This actually made Chen Kai feel a little shocked.

"Prefect Chen, your righteous deeds of rescuing civilians in Guangzhou City have spread to Macau, and are spreading throughout Guangdong, and even the whole world is predictable. Your greatness, selflessness, generosity, wisdom and bravery are just like

He is like a hero from an epic poem, admirable..."

Chen Kai could accept the compliments from foreign friends calmly at first, but later on, once the exaggerated rhetoric of these Europeans started, he became embarrassed. But these Portuguese people are like this, and so are the local people in Macau. Chen Kai

Kai had no choice but to walk humbly all the way to the meeting hall.

"As promised, the chartered ship was not damaged, and it can be regarded as returned to Zhao intact today. Have you thought about which gentleman to send with me back to meet Mr. Guo to discuss specific matters related to trade? I have fulfilled the contract as promised.

.”

These were prepared by the Macau Council. They immediately invited a representative to return with Chen Kai, and after Chen Kai declined the banquet, they took out a gift as a parting gift - the box was not big.

, but the workmanship was very exquisite. Chen Kai remembered that the European tradition seemed to be to open it in public, so he placed the box on the table of the council and gently opened the lid. But the things inside really surprised him.

Bright.
