In the city of Chaozhou, there were more than 2,000 soldiers guarding the town, stationed in the general military mansion, barracks and various city gates. Chen Kai captured the general town palace immediately, and then Ke Chenshu used the car to carry out heavy tasks.

After overpowering the rest of the people in the mansion, they knocked out the leader of Chaozhou Town. At the same time, Du Hui and Ke Chenmei frightened the town soldiers in the barracks, and then sent troops to coerce the town soldiers and capture another.

With six city gates, this city basically announced that it had changed hands.

Next, Chen Kai, in the name of acting as the Chaozhou magistrate, announced a plan to pacify the people. Du Hui, the newly appointed deputy general of Chaozhou City Guards, and the Ke family brothers who came to "assist in defense" from Zhongchong Town wanted to frighten the town soldiers and divide them.

Defend the city to prevent the sudden surrender of the oriole. At the same time, Ke Chenmei will lead the troops to seize various warehouses, and also send troops to suppress the chaos caused by seizing the city, whether it is rebel soldiers, rebellious people, or even those who refuse to surrender.

The gentry are all within the scope of attack.

In troubled times, you should use the heavy code!

Before nightfall, the situation in the city was generally stable. Chen Kai sent people to rush back to Nan'ao Island to report to Zheng Chenggong and wait for Zheng Chenggong's follow-up reinforcements.

Tonight is the first night to seize the city, and it is also the most dangerous night. As long as you pass today and see the sun rise the next day, many people who were originally reluctant will accept their fate. This is the human heart.

Chen Kai knew this very well and took the lead in formulating a plan. He was in charge of the government office, Ke Chenshu was in charge of the town hall, Du Hui was in charge of the barracks, and Ke Chenmei was stationed at the commanding heights of the Drum Tower to monitor the surrounding areas and report any abnormalities.

Team support is provided as a complete solution.

With only 300 men to seize a city with a fixed population of no less than 50,000 to 60,000 and a force seven times larger than his own, Chen Kai and others indeed created a miracle.

In the final analysis, this plan actually created a scam for the Qing army, a scam similar to Victor Lustig's auction of the Eiffel Tower.

Just as there were rumors on the streets of Paris that the government was unable to provide funds to maintain the iron tower, Chen Kai took advantage of the war and food shortage in Fujian to fabricate a cover for purchasing military rations, forged official documents to set up a scam, and even managed to pull it off.

The only difference is that what the master of deception only wants is money, while what Chen Kai wants is the Chaozhou capital city and Che Renzhong's life - not to mention the winners and losers, the twenty-nine people in Niujia Village

The innocent souls and the woman who sang Manjianghong last night and ended up falling in a pool of blood were enough to give Che Ren a heavy death sentence!

Che Renzhong's death had already spread in the city. In the afternoon, many people came to the main gate of the town to see for themselves the authenticity of the head on the flagpole. If it weren't for the Ming army holding troops standing nearby.

, maybe someone will climb up there to find out what's going on.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually turned dark, the curfew was getting closer and closer, and the city became much more peaceful. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a government official rushed over and smiled flatteringly at Chen Kai, saying that there were two old

The acquaintance wants to ask to see Magistrate Chen.

In this era, except for the group of people on Nan'ao Island, Chen Kai couldn't think of any old acquaintances for a while. But since they asked to meet, Chen Kai just wanted to meet him. Who knew when he saw those two people, he would immediately

Then he remembered what happened in the morning after he ran into a wall in front of the town hall.

"After so many years of separation, how can we be here?"

The people watching in the corner early this morning were not others, but brothers Lin Dezhong and Lin Dexiao. Chen Kai launched a capture of the city in the morning. The whole city was in chaos at noon. The Ming army controlled the city gates and main streets to suppress the rioters, rioters, ordinary people, etc.

Who dared to go out and make trouble? Towards the evening, after several inquiries, the Lin brothers confirmed that the leader was indeed Chen Kai, and then they dared to look for him in places like the government office.

"Chen, Magistrate Chen, villain..."

Class is class. Chen Kai shook his head and smiled, and then said to Lin Dezhong: "If you are looking for Chen Kai, then we are still old friends and can sit down and have a good chat. If you are looking for Magistrate Chen, I will not send him away."

Chen Kai has always had this temper. When Lin Dezhong heard this, the familiar tone made him feel happy. Fortunately, he did not forget the purpose of his visit and restored his old name of Mr. Chen.

He fell to the ground with his brother.

"The two brothers and I pay their respects not because Mr. Chen is an official, but because we are the people. In fact, we are doing this for our uncles, aunts and cousins, and for the folks in Niujia Village who were killed by the beasts under the command of the thief Che Renzhong.

We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. Chen."

Before they finished speaking, the Lin brothers, who were already full of tears, knocked heavily on the ground, bang bang bang three times in a row. Even Chen Kai stepped forward to help them immediately, but he couldn't stop them. They kept knocking.

After raising his head three times, Chen Kai could clearly see blood dripping from their foreheads.

Seeing this, Chen Kai quickly called someone to bandage the two of them, and then learned about their experiences in the past year. Just listening to their stories, Chen Kai couldn't laugh or cry.

According to what the Lin brothers said, they returned to their hometown with their money and always abided by the principle of not disclosing their wealth as mentioned by Chen Kai. At first, everything was fine, but when Lin Dezhong was about to get married, he was betrayed by his future father-in-law, Shi Zi.

He opened his mouth wide. As a result, his wealth was revealed, and the uneasy and well-intentioned people reported the illicit Ming army to the wealthy people who controlled their area. Later, they had no choice but to flee to Haiyang County without even marrying into this family.

He went to the countryside to join his relatives. He entered the city today with the intention of bringing the game he had captured to the city to sell it at a good price. Unexpectedly, he encountered Chen Kai seizing the city.

"Girl from that family, do you still have any ideas?"

"this……"

Lin Dezhong didn't understand what Chen Kai's brain was like, how he could think of this. But now that Chen Kai asked, he could only sigh: "What can I do? It was originally his father who was interested in the bride price."

She is so thick because she despises my family. She is probably married now."

Childhood sweethearts and childhood sweethearts were originally a couple, but the only difference was that they were married to each other. But in the end, they still failed at this level. And the most speechless thing is that because of Chen Kai, the Lin family originally got a fortune.

The windfall and the betrothal gift will not be less than that family's, but his family is already poor, and if he suddenly comes up with such a sum of money, he will immediately be framed by the thoughtful person.

"Don't worry about whether she is married or not. From today on, you brothers will follow me, and I will always protect your official status. And to be honest, the imperial court is about to regain Chaozhou, so I will bring a group of royal masters to fight.

This is the front station. When Chaozhou is recaptured, you will always have the opportunity to return home in fine clothes. By then, if she is not married, I will personally go to her house to propose marriage on your behalf; if she is married, she will not have a promising son-in-law, and she will also suffer.

Her father."

After saying these words, Chen Kai felt much happier, but he didn't know why. He just vaguely felt like some losers. In comparison, the Lin brothers were just hunters, temporarily avoiding relatives.

Originally I was relying on others, but now that I have hope, I am very grateful. Even if I ask for Chen Kai to stay overnight, if anything happens, I will definitely protect Chen Kai.

Chen Kai did not agree to this matter, but asked them to rest first. Tomorrow morning, he would go back to his relatives' house to take his parents to the city. We would not discuss how to arrange them until then.

After talking for a long time, the Lin brothers were led to a side courtyard to rest. That night, Chen Kai no longer planned to sleep. Not only was he worried about this most critical night, but more importantly, he couldn't sleep at all.

There is always something.

As the Lin brothers said, Che Renzhong was killed, and the people in Chaozhou City were celebrating. However, they did not know much about this Ming army, and they were not optimistic about it. In the final analysis, this will be a big problem, but it still needs to be

Let's wait until tomorrow to discuss with Du Hui and the Ke brothers and then find a solution.

Late at night, Chen Kai thought about it, but there were always some reveries in his heart that could not be dispelled, so he simply sent a servant to the brothel where Qiyue lived to get the guqin.

The old madam of the brothel and Mr. Turtle, who had accompanied Qiyue to the banquet, were all dragged out by Che Renzhong to vent their anger. The new old madam found out that it was Chen Kai who wanted this guqin, so he was too busy to offer it with both hands, fearing that someone might

The slightest slight will cause Chen Kai's displeasure.

Lying in bed yesterday, Chen Kai carefully recalled that when the woman was molested by Che Renzhong, her eyes were pointed in the direction of the old bustard, but also in that direction was the guqin from that time.

Judging from everything that happened later, it is actually difficult to explain clearly what she was looking at at that time.

Perhaps that woman had also dreamed of the harp and harp chords of a talented man and a beautiful woman, and there was even a talented man who fell in love with her, and she also had some girlish concerns for the talented man, but in the end she was not able to escape the bullying of the powerful.

Che Renzhong ruined her innocence. Instead of dying, she chose to humiliate him in public at a public banquet, which was to tell everyone in the world clearly that Che Renzhong could destroy her future.

But she still has the right to despise him, even if it means paying the price with her life!

After a long time, the moonlight was just right in the sky, and Chen Kai was hunched over his desk in the courtyard, stroking the strings of the piano. Unfortunately, he could not play the piano, but fortunately, he was still able to sing the second half of the unfinished lyrics and music softly.

"The shame of Jingkang has not yet been resolved; the hatred of the ministers, when will it be extinguished?

Drive a long car and cross the gap in Helan Mountain!

The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty.

Be from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, overturned Que!"

After singing a cappella, Chen Kai picked up the guqin, threw it directly into the fire that had been prepared, and watched quietly as the guqin turned into ashes.
Chapter completed!
