As soon as the report arrived in Qiongzhou Prefecture, Chen Kai immediately summoned Lin Cha alone, just to give Lin Cha a face. After reading the contents of the report, Lin Cha was shocked by what his nephew had done, but he also Instead of asking for mercy from Chen Kai, he pressed for severe punishment.

This performance was within Chen Kai's expectation. Speaking of which, Zheng Chenggong has always been known for his strict military laws. Not only did his generals leave their posts without permission, but they also escaped from battle and deceived their superiors. These three consecutive violent acts, even if they were just beaten Defeat, and it is not the kind of battle that cannot be won despite all efforts, is often recorded as being executed if defeated again. For this reason, many of Zheng Chenggong's generals surrendered because of fear of military law, but they were able to persevere. However, all the generals fought hard to the death, which also gave Zheng Chenggong's troops an even more amazing victory rate against the Qing army.

Lin Cha was a die-hard loyalist to Zheng Chenggong, and of course he knew that what Zheng Chenggong valued most was military law. His nephew was somewhat restrained in front of him, but he could not change his lust for women. Even earlier, he had He had told his wife that sooner or later this boy would die from a woman, but he didn't know it would come true so quickly.

Speaking of which, Lin Cha has the responsibility to recommend inhumane people in this matter. He insisted on demanding severe punishment, which is his attitude towards Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong, and also hates that iron cannot be made into steel.

In this regard, Chen Kai said that he would make a judgment only when there are accurate witnesses and physical evidence, so as to avoid unjust, false, and wrongful convictions due to Li and Jiang being deceived because they have not witnessed the crime. But if the evidence is conclusive, If so, he naturally couldn't tolerate it, lest he break the hearts of those soldiers who fought bloody battles and cause even worse effects.

After a series of inquiries last night, Chen Kai got the answers from Li Jianjie, Jiang Mei'ao, Jiang Mei'ao's deputy general and Nie Yiniang that this person had committed a heinous crime. As for the officials, some said they were unaware and wanted to stay out of the matter. Some of them had already understood the situation and immediately pointed out to Chen Kai that the guard had escaped before the battle. From this, there was no need to say anything more. Chen Kai immediately ordered that this person be punished with Lingchi, thinking that those who came after him would be warned. .

"By the way, Chief Liu, I remember you said last night that when you went to inform this guy, the little widow tried to persuade this guy to stay, right?"

"Yes, this guy was still reluctant to leave me at that time!"

This chief was not only the one who rushed to inform the guards that day, but also the confidant of Mr. Qian. When talking about that incident now, he gnashed his teeth and wished to eat these bitches alive.

After receiving the confirmation, Chen Kai nodded, and then said slowly: "Oh, since she is so reluctant to part with her, let her watch the entire execution. After watching, behead her to show the public, so that our guards will not be lonely on the road to hell."

With a wave of his hand, a guard took the guard down. Ling Chi was one thing. Of course, in terms of the number of swords, he was not as good as Ma Degong and Huang Shu. After all, he was still far from the level. But that sword When I cut off the meat, it hurt so much even just thinking about it, let alone the person who was being tortured.

The guard was pulled down, and when he was about to go out, he glanced at Li Jianjie with hatred in his eyes, but the latter had a look of disdain on his face and didn't take it seriously at all.

All of this was seen in Chen Kai's eyes. In other words, Chen Kai had been waiting for this scene to happen from the beginning. In the end, the performance of both parties was as he expected, which made him smile. A smile appeared, but it was fleeting.

"At the celebration banquet, someone heard the man talking about your life experience to Uncle An Su, which was about the death of your late husband and brother."

"But Uncle Li didn't do what he thought?"

"Yes, Uncle An Su is an upright man. He doesn't look down on such despicable people who stab him in the back."

"Bizhi, thank you to Fujun. In fact, what he said is right. I have never forgotten those things. But please rest assured Fujun. I will never abandon public service for personal reasons. Everything will be done based on public conscience. Besides, Li Shuai

In that battle, I saved Beizhi and his subordinates. I just wanted Beizhong to be grateful to him, but Beizhong couldn't do that."

"Well, I can trust my eyes, and I've known for a long time that you are trustworthy."

In yesterday's conversation, Chen Kai revealed this inside story to Nie Yiniang, and the answer he received satisfied him. In fact, this kind of satisfaction is not an unexpected surprise. It can even be said that Nie Yiniang has already said this.

It was within Chen Kai’s expectation.

After the battle, Nie Yiniang was very polite to Li Jianjie, but she quickly found a reason to leave. She had not seen him in the past few days, and she would not tell him the inside story. But she knew everything about Chen Kai.

, without the slightest precaution. Comparing the two, in fact, many things can be seen clearly.

As for Li Jianjie's attitude towards Nie Yiniang, Chen Kai seems to think that it is not only because he doesn't like the despicable villain sowing discord between the two, but also because he despises women. Of course, the most important thing here is probably not this.

Two points, but it lies in the opinions of factions.

"The decision to execute this guy will be reported to the National Security Council. However, the garrison position is vacant. I believe that Hong Kong Island is the hub of our army on the battlefield in Guangdong. It is of great importance and cannot be left out overnight!"

Chen Kai said this, all the generals and officials present can understand. In today's Guangdong battlefield, they have recovered Chaozhou Prefecture, Qiongzhou Prefecture and a series of islands at the Pearl River Estuary in southern Guangzhou. Chaozhou Prefecture is in eastern Guangdong and Qiongzhou Prefecture is in western Guangdong.

, the connection between the two places relies entirely on this small Hong Kong Island as a transit station. Because of this, Shang Kexi will regard it as Chen Kai's seven-inch land, and Chen Kai will quickly move to Qiongzhou when the war is over.

Li Jianjie's troops were dispatched to return reinforcements.

"Nie Yiniang, the captain of the rescue team under the Hong Kong Island garrison, abandoned the garrison and fled. When Qian Zongzong fought and died for the country, she launched a counterattack on her own, boosted the morale of the generals, and successfully dragged An Subo to his headquarters.

He returned and made great contributions to annihilating the invading army."

All of this is true. Chen Kai spoke eloquently, and everyone also turned their attention to this woman who even looked a little thin: "The ancestral system of the country means that meritorious deeds must be rewarded, and transgressions must be punished. So in the early days of the country,

The king's division can be invincible in the world. To this day, the country and the official are convinced that only this is the only way to drive out the Tartars. Therefore, the official decided to appoint Nie Yiniang as the garrison of Hong Kong Island and responsible for the island.

Defense, cooperate with Commander-in-Chief Jiang Shuai of the Pearl River Navy to defend this strategic location!"

As we all know, the Huangming Dynasty was established by expelling the Tartars. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, never accepted the official position or title of the Tatars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, whether in later generations or in this era, the orthodoxy of the Han family in the Huangming Dynasty cannot be doubted.

, since ancient times, there has never been anyone better than him in achieving the righteousness of the country.

It is a fact that the guardsmen in the early Ming Dynasty were rampant all over the world. Nowadays, Zheng Chenggong's military management emphasizes rewards and punishments. This is also a fact. Based on this precedent and this current situation, Chen Kai specifically mentioned Nie Yiniang's story.

Performance, questioning eyes no longer exist, there is only praise and envy for the rewards for meritorious deeds.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind became popular in the world, which led to many "advanced" ideas, such as the "strange talks" of Li Zhi, a Fujianese who was born in the same province as most people present, especially "Burn".

The short book "The Book" is based on the idea of ​​women learning Taoism, and there is a preliminary enlightenment of equality between men and women.

However, this is only one aspect. Everyone present will not use gender as a reason for objection. Among them are the existence of Chen Kai and Nie Yiniang’s achievements, which are indeed justified, and the influence of ideological emancipation. However, the most important thing is to understand

There have been female generals in the imperial court, such as the world-famous loyal and loyal Hou Qin Liangyu, and the same is true for Qin Liangyu’s daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi. Even Emperor Yongli had a female general named Hou Shizhen in front of the emperor. There were these precedents, and now

Multiple female defenders are nothing new.

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, well, the emancipation of the mind still existed. When the Qing Dynasty promoted the national quintessence of bound feet, we would have to wait until we were kicked open by foreigners before we could see characters like Jianhu Heroine again.

.”

Chen Kai thought so, and some guards brought up the official uniforms, seals, armor, swords and other items. Chen Kai stood up and put the tray in Nie Niang's hand under the gaze of everyone.

Immediately he nodded heavily.

"The land safety of Hong Kong Island is in danger. I leave it to Nie to guard it."

Nie Niang took the tray and looked at the neatly arranged objects on it. All of this was something she had never thought about when she fought back in that battle. At that time, she was thinking very much.

She was naive and never expected anything, but now her efforts have been rewarded even more. Her nose couldn't help but feel sore, but then she remembered her identity as an officer, and she quickly took a breath to suppress the excitement.

.

"Humble, humble position will definitely not disappoint Fujun!"

"I also believe that Nie Shoubei will not let me down."

Chen Kai smiled calmly, and then said that he would recover as soon as possible, and even increase the strength of the garrison - Jiang Mei'ao's fleet will expand its establishment to continue to widen the gap between the Ming and Qing navy divisions; Nie Yiniang's garrison will naturally also

To restore the establishment, it is necessary to expand it to a battalion size of 500 soldiers. It can even be said that whether it is Jiang Mei'ao or Nie Yiniang, their current official positions are only temporary, and promotion is only a matter of time.

"Shuai Jiang was persuaded by Chen Fujun to join the country's surname. Nie Shouwei came from the Guangdong Volunteers and later the patrol battalion. Naturally, he is also a close confidant of Chen Fujun. It seems that Hong Kong Island will have the surname Chen in the future.

Here you go."

The official in charge of rates at the scene thought so, and his eyes quickly met the official in charge of local civil affairs, and what he saw was the same. However, this Hong Kong Island was originally restored by Chen Kai, and now Chen Kai's status in the Zheng Group is also

The stable second-in-command, the relationship with the group leader Zheng Chenggong is so harmonious that some people even suspect that the two are close friends of Long Yang. They are now working under Chen Kai, and they also share the story of gradually regaining Guangdong.

I have no bad feelings about this, as long as Chen Kai doesn't push them back, it's nothing to do with him.

After announcing the appointment, Chen Kai did not waste any time and immediately issued a new round of combat missions. This time the combat mission was not aimed at regaining the lost territory, but to regain the face of the attack on Hong Kong Island and to show confidence to Guangdong.

The gentry, merchants and people of the sea, Nanyang, and even all of Guangdong proved that the Ming army not only still had the control of the sea in the Guangdong Sea, but also wanted to ride on his head!

Nie Yiniang's garrison continued to stay on Hong Kong Island, and Jiang Mei'ao's fleet set sail with Li Jianjie's Huqi Town. This time, it was not to cross the Kowloon Strait, nor to cross the Mingxi River to Xin'an County to find trouble with the local green camp.

, but travels upstream with the help of the southerly wind blowing from the ocean.

The fleet moved upstream. Since the Pearl River Estuary was controlled by the Ming Navy, the Qing Army built beacon towers along the coast to ensure that they could receive early warning when the Ming Army attacked coastal counties.

The four counties along the Pearl River, Xiangshan, Xin'an, Shunde, and Dongguan successively received warnings from beacon towers, but no reports of attacks by the Ming army came. This time was obviously a retaliatory action by the Ming army against the Qing army's raid on Hong Kong Island.

, the most uneasy ones were the officials and generals of the Qing court in Xin'an County. However, no news came from them, which made them even more worried about others.

The wind went with the current and the sails were full. The fleet bypassed Daxi Mountain, crossed the Lingding Ocean, and soon entered the main channel of the Pearl River.

Standing on the deck of Jiang Mei'ao's ship, Chen Kai looked around and saw familiar mountains and rivers everywhere. He remembered that the last time he passed by here was in November of the fourth year of Yongli, when the Qing army collapsed under the command of Shang Kexi.

After breaking through the walls of Guangzhou City, a massacre was about to occur, and he contacted the local health office and grassroots officials to find a way out for the good people of this place.

At that time, he had under his command the warships of Ming Hou Lincha and Min'an Hou Zhou Rui, the merchant fleet of Zhongzhen Bo Hongxu, the merchant fleet he rented from Macau, and the Guangzhou Chengnan Wharf he temporarily organized.

The large and small merchant ships and fishing boats on board. In addition, Wu Wenwen of the Guangzhou garrison, the naval division of Second General Yin Zhirong, and even the land division of Zhang Yue, Li Yuantai, and Li Jianjie also temporarily followed his command, and even Ling

Admiral Chen Qice's fleet served as reinforcements.

It is precisely because of such huge maritime strength that we were able to pull out the tiger's teeth and save so many people in Guangzhou from the Qing army's butcher's knife, and that we were able to almost completely annihilate the Qing army's Guangdong Navy in the Pearl River Water Battle, thus creating a chokehold for the Ming Dynasty's military control.

A solid foundation was laid for the Pearl River Estuary.

This time, when he returned to his old place, he only had Jiang Mei'ao's fleet, which was only half the size of Lin Cha's fleet. The only land division he carried was Li Jianjie's Hsiaoqi Town.

Speaking of which, the strength is simply one day at a time, especially compared to the more than 10,000 vassal soldiers in the city, it is more like the foolish behavior of hitting an egg on a stone. But there is a problem. This time, the Qing army's Guangdong water force

The division was cleaner than the previous Pearl River battle, with only two boats left. Any commander under Jiang Mei'ao was more impressive than that commander Gai Yipeng!

After the fleet crossed the Dongjiang River mouth and failed to enter, it turned to the west, and smoke quickly rose from the beacon tower in Panyu County. It is said that this is the place where the Qing army least believed that it would be attacked, but the alarm really appeared.

, the defenders in the south of Guangdong City quickly reported to Pingnan King Shang Kexi and Guangdong Governor Li Qifeng, and the two quickly arrived on the city wall of the new city.

The Ming army arrived very quickly, and the fleet lined up across the main channel between Guangzhou City and Henan Island. However, seeing the welcome arrival of Wang Qi, the Ming army only waited for an order from the flagship and faced the starboard side of Guangzhou City.

The artillery opened fire immediately, and in an instant it swept across the south pier of Guangzhou City and even bombarded the south city gate!

The shells roared, destroying everything they touched. Seeing how arrogant the Ming army was, the Qing troops in the city reacted immediately. They immediately escorted Shang Kexi and Li Qifeng down to the city, and protected them on the south wall of the old city and commanded them remotely.

.

The Ming army fired artillery, and the Qing army also planned to fight back. However, it is fortunate that the Hongyi artillery that attacked Guangzhou City had changed their surname to Chen as early as last year. All those captured during the siege and those newly cast recently were moved to Zhaoqing.

It was thought that Zhaoqing City Guards never brought it back - after all, Shang Kexi could not guarantee whether the Xining King would come back.

The artillery battle became a one-man show for the Ming army. The Ming army's ships dropped their anchors on the main channel without any scruples, and then continued to pour cannonballs, which soon left the city's south dock in a mess, especially

In the military camp at the pier, the green camp of the Guangdong Navy who had lost their ships were even beaten to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers.

Next, while the artillery shells were extending, the Ming fleet dropped a cavalry force on Henan Island. Ansubo Li Jianjie's flag quickly swept away the few Qing troops on Henan Island.

The Qing army on Henan Island was Li Jianjie's opponent, and they were quickly wiped out by the Ming army. Later, the Ming army arrogantly boarded the south pier of the city, and escorted all the Qing troops captured in the previous battle.

, and then just waiting for the sword and axe-hands to be in place, and after giving the order, hundreds of right hands were completely separated from their masters.

The bombardment stopped abruptly, and screams came one after another. In the midst of this new tune, a loud Ming army man held up a tin trumpet and shouted loudly to the Qing army at the top of the city: "My Fujun said, come here
Chapter completed!
