Chapter 20 Undercurrent (1)
Guizhuang is one of Qian Qianyi's "downlines". Such characters have been mentioned a lot in articles that Chen Kai has read before. As for those who are hidden in history, I don't even know about them.
Geometry.
Speaking of which, the reason why he came back to visit Zhoushan this time was still related to the Zhejiang Qing army's attack on Zhoushan. He was from Suzhou, so he had to get the news more quickly and accurately. According to him, the Qing army had already begun to gather towards Ningbo, and even
The Su Song Navy seems to be among the participating troops in this battle, and not long ago, the Zhejiang Qing Army carried out the second round of mountain washing operations in the Siming Mountain area after last year - the so-called mountain washing means massacre, and the Qing army used
The wanton massacre of the Siming Mountain area wiped out the population base, thus basically eliminating the possibility of large-scale anti-Qing rebel forces operating there.
The situation in Zhejiang is getting increasingly tense. Qian Qianyi has sent someone to see Huang Zongxi. Chen Kai knows nothing about whether Huang Zongxi can be sent to Zhoushan before the outbreak of the First World War and whether it will be effective after being sent to him. He has no idea.
Everyone knows Qian Qianyi's attitude now, and he also needs to go to Zhejiang. Whether it is a place he must pass through on the way, or there are some things that require him to worry about it.
"It's strange that the Taoist priests in the scarf have authority, and they don't doubt each other when they call each other brothers.
Don't blame my daughter for being too abrupt. How handsome are the officials at Jimen?"
The boat had to travel on the canal for a long time, and he could not delay it. The day after arriving at Guizhuang, Chen Kai said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he wrote this in front of everyone.
The poem was supposed to be a gift to Liu Rushi. However, it was stated in advance that he himself had no research on poetry writing. Even this poem was heard on the road, so it was considered as a way to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha.
"Jingcheng, the song you wrote on Anping Bridge is actually quite interesting."
The text used to ridicule Shi Lang is no longer a secret here. Kuang Lu said that even though the whole room burst into laughter, Chen Kai just replied: "You can kill a traitor with one gun, just to clean up the family."
”, then it was revealed.
On the road below, Guizhuang will follow him for a while. When he arrives at Suzhou Fucheng, Chen Kai will enter the canal. When he returns to Zhuang, he will take a boat to Loujiang to return to his hometown. Before leaving, although Qian Qianyi has not yet completely determined his plans for the Three Bureaus of Catalpa Ping
Fine-tuning, but privately gave Chen Kai a dozen tickets, divided into several ticket numbers. After calculation, there was a huge amount of 50,000 taels of silver. These were all Qian Qianyi could find in this short period of time.
It's the limit of replacement.
"Look, in just a few days, I got 50,000 taels of silver just by talking. This is much easier than getting money from Du Yonghe in Guangzhou."
The ship continued to move forward on the established route. Now it was no longer heading north and east, but turned south. From the direction of the direction, it was considered to have begun its return journey. However, the destination of the next stop was not the nearest Suzhou.
At least Chen Kai doesn't have time to appreciate the weather in Huqiu for the time being.
Suzhou is the most important commercial center in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. On the far southern coast, Guangzhou once had such a status in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, but now it is no longer what it used to be.
Going up the Pearl River, the Tianzi Pier in the south of the city was empty. A few small boats were loading and unloading caught fish and shrimp. It seemed very busy at first glance, but the sorrow of the fishermen made it difficult to feel lively here. On the contrary,
It was in this midsummer heat that a damp and cold breath penetrated deep into my bones.
Fishing boats are already the mainstream here. The original merchant ships and cargo ships have now disappeared. Some were taken to Chaozhou by Chen Kai, while others had left earlier and only served as a regional trade and ocean trade
The war in the central city has been over for more than half a year, but there are still very few sea ships coming. It is really unimaginable.
The same is true outside the city, and the same is true inside the city. More than half a year ago, Chen Kai rescued a large number of people in the city. Some followed him back to Chaozhou, some followed Chen Qice to Shangxiachuan Island, and there were even larger numbers.
At that time, they chose to flee on their own. Those who went to the areas occupied by the Ming army would not appear here. However, those who fled on their own, after the Qing army sealed the sword, some still chose to return to their hometowns, but some of them
The vast majority of people cannot return to the ancestral home where they once lived, even if it is only separated by a wall, even if they still hold the house deed in their hands, the land deed is the same.
The massacre was not canceled because of Chen Kai's rescue. The Qing army almost killed all the Guangzhou people who could not escape before ending this massacre.
Later, as usual, the monks who stayed behind were ordered to clean up the corpses in the city. After the cleanup was basically completed, the vassal soldiers and their families moved in directly - occupying the magpie's nest at this moment was no longer as simple as expulsion, but
It is the dove that wants to drive out the magpie and then occupy its residence in a majestic manner!
The old city of Guangzhou has been completely occupied by the soldiers of Pingnan and Jingnan vassals. The generals moved into mansions and the soldiers had large houses. Horse dung was everywhere in the streets. It was a place where hundreds of thousands of people lived for generations.
Nowadays, there are only tens of thousands of vassal soldiers and their families. Even if they keep their war horses and pack horses in the city, the noise of people and horses neighing is far from being comparable to the hustle and bustle of the past.
Most of the people in Guangzhou died, and the limited survivors, along with the yamen of the Qing court at all levels, were bombarded by the two vassals to the new city in the south of the city. The government offices were densely packed, which seemed to be more suitable for the government to assist the two vassals.
Exploiting the people. But in the old city to the north of the new city, the two vassals in the city are just like a giant insect hovering over the heads of the people of Guangdong, sucking the people's fat and anointing, greedy insatiably.
On the top of the city, where the Four Guards of Guangzhou once fought to the death, looking around, the flower beds carefully cultivated and cultivated outside the city have long returned to nature and turned into patches of weeds. If Shang Geng Er Fan is the city landscape of Guangzhou
The greatest contribution of the building is the white hill outside the east gate - it is a common grave made of the ashes of hundreds of thousands of people who were burned. It faithfully records the Qing army's actions.
This barbaric and bestial behavior is a warning to those who come after you!
The Qing army captured Guangzhou in early November last year. After a short rest, they successively occupied Zhaoqing Prefecture and Luoding Prefecture in the next few months. These two places are located in the west of Guangzhou Prefecture, together with Huizhou in the east.
Together with Nanxiong Prefecture and Shaozhou Prefecture in the north, they extend the land of Guangzhou in depth.
This series of offensives was completed before February of the fifth year of Yongli. Counting the leap November last year, it only took three or four months. However, when Zhaoqing Prefecture and Luoding Prefecture were owned by the Qing army, Guangzhou
Chapter completed!
