Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

So you have to run quickly!

If you don't run, you will die!

But can you live if you run away?It is two hundred miles from Guangzhou to Zhaoqing, and nearly three hundred miles to Shaozhou... This road is not easy, there are several big rivers blocking the road, and there are many gratifying enemies along the way. Sharpening the knife, waiting for revenge!

But this is not the most terrifying thing, the most terrifying thing is the sky!

When the city of Guangzhou was in chaos and everyone was scrambling to escape from this desperate land, the sky was once again covered with dark clouds, and the typhoon that had disappeared before also roared up... It turned out that the tranquility before was just the eye of the wind hitting Guangzhou In the past, there is still a typhoon storm coming in the second half.

There was interception before, there was chase after, and it was windy and rainy in the sky. I really don’t know how many people can survive after running all the way?

Chapter 174 Killing the demons and welcoming the saints!

Heavy rain is coming to Guangzhou again!Thunder and lightning rolled among the dark clouds, and heavy rain poured down from the nine heavens, instantly turning the whole of Guangzhou into a "water city".

The fleeing people rolled on the muddy road.Helping the old and the young, step by step, most of the people ran in a hurry, not to mention coir raincoats, not even an umbrella.The cold rainwater was poured down on their heads like this "basin by basin"... It wasn't long before they walked out of Guangzhou, and many pampered elders and wives couldn't bear it anymore and began to abandon the things they brought out of Guangzhou city. luggage and belongings away.

On both sides of the road, there are all discarded things, such as boxes, burdens, baskets, knives, armor, robes... There are also some old bannermen or old banner slaves who are too old and weak to walk in the muddy water on the side of the road. Crying and crying, some exhausted or injured animals that could not walk were also abandoned, lying down in the cold muddy water, making long or short wailing.

But the most heartbreaking thing to hear is the cry of people.

"Retribution! It's really retribution! When I went to Guangzhou and killed countless people, today it's my turn to be the ghost of the knife, it's my turn!"

"Who is kind enough to take my son, and thank Dade even after death!"

"I have worked for the Shang family for 20 years...how did I end up like this!"

"The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end! The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!"

Xue Zhang, Jin Guang, and several high-ranking civil officials sent by the imperial court to Guangdong were also fleeing in the rain at this time, but their condition was much stronger than that of the old and weak who escaped from Guangzhou.Jin Guang was the only one in this group who was older, and the others were still strong and strong, and they all had horses to ride, and they were guarded by staff, personal soldiers, and strong servants brought out from their hometown.

In addition, these officials did not flee with a lot of property... It's not that they are not greedy, but they have known the situation in Guangdong for a long time, so they naturally sent their family members to protect the money and leave in advance.

They only have some odds and ends that they use on weekdays, and they don't have much weight, so now they can escape with ease.But they can't escape now.Because the official road leading to a wooden bridge on the Liuxi River in the north is blocked by these old and weak women and children from the Pingnan Prince's Mansion who dragged their families and ran away, and they couldn't walk fast at all!Moreover, several of their civil servants did not dare to wave their whips to drive away those blocking the road... There are quite a few murderous old traitors among these old and weak women and children!

Now they are traitors in their old age, and their murderous intentions are still there!

They can't kill the heavenly soldiers who killed the third prince Zhu and the third grandson of Zhu, but it's not difficult to kill a few dog officials.

"Rumble..."

Another flash of lightning flashed by, and the rain seemed to be heavier.Xue Zhang was riding on the horse. Although he was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head, his official uniform was still a little wet and stuck to him, making him very uncomfortable.Now he doesn't dare to put on the official airs of admiral Xuezheng, but walks slowly among the crowd.Looking at the miserable situation in front of him, Xue Zhang sighed, and read in a low voice: "Xing, the people are suffering; death, the people are suffering..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden sound of shouting in Cantonese from the rain curtains on both sides of the official road.

"Attack Guangzhou, destroy Shang's family, and kill all those surnamed Shang..."

"Third Prince Zhu is here, and everyone who is still gratifying will die!"

"Throw away your mother... kill it!"

Hearing the sound of killing, those old and weak people who were walking slowly suddenly regained their energy, gritted their teeth, quickened their pace, and trotted all the way to the north.Of course, there are also some people who really can't run, gritted their teeth and rushed out a few steps, then fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

Xue Zhang also panicked, turned around and asked in a trembling voice: "What, what should I do? The false third grandson of Zhu came after him..."

Jin Guang was calm and calm, and said with a sneer, "It's not the fake third grandson of Zhu, but some troublemakers who were expelled from Guangzhou City!"

"Tricksters?" Xue Zhang was stunned before he remembered that in order to prevent the residents of the outer city of Guangzhou from rebelling, Shang Zhixin ordered the ordinary people in the city to be expelled.

However, there was a lot of chaos outside the city of Guangzhou, and these unscrupulous people had nowhere to go, so they had to set up two shanty towns in the south and north of Guangzhou city to live temporarily... These people originally had a family, business and business in Guangzhou city, but they were suddenly arrested. People blasted out, and they didn't give time to pack their belongings.As soon as Shang Zhixin gave an order, the soldiers came to chase them away.

One can imagine what kind of hatred these people have towards the Shang family and the Qing Dynasty!

Now that the Shang family is defeated and fled, they still have revenge?

Xue Zhang squinted his eyes to look left and right, and sure enough, at the end of his sight, he saw a row of low shantytowns... These shantytowns were shrouded in rain and fog, and some of them were still standing in the muddy water, looking like they were about to be submerged .

How much the people who live inside hate the Shang family!

Xue Zhang sighed: "The Shang family is loyal to the imperial court, but they treat the people in Guangdong too harshly..."

He himself has been an official in Guangdong for many years, of course he knows how cruel the Shang family is to the people... Not to mention killing people and massacring cities, many people have done it!But Shang Kexi has gone too far on the issue of border relocation along the coast!

Aobai also only said to move twenty miles, and the local officials below have a good conscience, so they will give a discount and move fifteen miles to deal with it.If you are more ruthless, you can add five miles and move 25 miles.

But Shang Kexi added a full thirty miles... fifty miles!

At that time, Xue Zhang was a county magistrate in Huizhou, and he still remembers the situation at that time.After Shang Kexi's decree came down, the magistrates of Huizhou and Chaozhou's coastal counties were shocked.I can't believe such a decree... I really don't know what this King Pingnan is up to?If you move fifteen miles away, no one will say anything!

Because Shang Kexi’s decree to relocate the border was too harsh, many rebellions broke out in coastal areas of Guangdong. , along the coast of Gaozhou, anti-thieves of various brands also emerge in endlessly.

The calamity suffered by the Shang family today is related to the cause and effect of this sea ban. To put it bluntly, it is retribution...

"what!"

"Murder!"

"Rebel..."

"Kill the dog!"

Just when Xue Zhang was thinking about the immoral things that Shang Kexi had done, the sound of killing came again!

The murderers were the able-bodied among the unruly people who were expelled from the city of Guangzhou, and the ones who were killed were the old and weak who were unable to walk under the royal vassal and were squeezed out of officialdom.

At the beginning, those troublemakers were just bluffing around the official road. Seeing that the bannermen and banner slaves who were running on the official road did not dare to come to expel them, they became more courageous, and began to sneak up to kill and rob under the cover of the rain.

Xue Zhang followed the screams, and saw a few strong men with shirtless shirts, using a few waist knives he got from who didn't know where to chop an elderly old banner soldier with a burden... and the official road The other people in the room acted as if they hadn't seen this scene!

Xue Zhang also just sighed, thinking: "The troublemakers in Guangdong haven't seen the real Manchuria very much, and they probably can't tell the difference between the real Manchuria and the fake Manchuria of the monks of the Eight Banners... They just killed the Manchurian heavenly soldiers. From now on, we will no longer be afraid of the Manchurians!

Speaking of which, this is also a gratifying sin!The crime of this old thief is really great! "

……

While the soldiers of the Shang family and Dingqi slaves in the north of Guangzhou City were marching hard under the pursuit of Guangzhou's unruly people, on the banks of the Pearl River in the south of Guangzhou City, countless ragged, thin, and disheveled people were braving the heavy rain , Kneeling together on the bank of the long Pearl River Wharf.

Behind them, there is a large area of ​​shantytowns that makes people feel sad, all of which are low shacks that are swaying in the strong wind.

The object of these people's kneeling and worshiping was a large sand ship with the banner of Sun and Moon and the banner of Tianxia Weigong. Surrounded by more than [-] other large and small boats, this boat was slowly sailing towards the Pearl River Wharf.

I don't know who took the lead, those kneeling people suddenly shouted loudly: "I invite Zhu Shengren, the third great grandson of the Ming Dynasty, to take charge of Guangzhou City...Guangzhou people, welcome Zhu Shengren!"

Chapter 175 Eat with Meals, Wear with Clothes, Live in with House!

The fleet led by Zhu Heqi came to the Tianzi Wharf in the south of Guangzhou City to avoid the wind. According to the original plan, he would lead the fleet to sail along the Pearl River, bypassing the west side of Guangzhou Fucheng, and then enter the Liuxi River. , in order to encircle Guangzhou.

The reason for doing this is because one-third of Zhu Hechi's staff caught a cold because of the previous stormy night battle... Although it is not a terrible flu, they still need to take good care of them.The allicin "invented" by Zhu Heqi can't cure a cold!

In addition, there were many wounded in the battle of Longtoushan, and they also needed to be well cared for.There are also some people who are injured and sick, and can't even move.

Therefore, Zhu and Qi could only keep these wounded and sick in the Sea God Temple, and left some troops to take care of the wounded and sick, and guard the prisoners at the same time.In the end, there were only five or six thousand troops left to fight Guangzhou with Zhu and Qi.

Surrounding such a large city of Guangzhou with 6000 people seems a bit small, so Zhu Heqi came up with such a bluffing method—calling all the wooden boats gathered on the Pearl River to participate in the Anti-Qing Fuming Movement to the sea temple wharf In the vicinity, hang flags on them, and then divide the 6000 to [-] people under his command into each ship. Zhu Heqi himself also picked a big ship as the flagship, brought Da Boling, Zhuge Junshi, Su Zhanshan and others, and also took Shang Kexi, Shang Zhixiao also loaded onto the boat together, and sailed westward along the Pearl River in comfort.

But I didn't expect that not long after we drove out, there was a storm on the Pearl River!Now Zhu and Qi dare not continue sailing... They are about to enter Guangzhou, so don't capsize and fall into the water!So he simply ordered the fleet to stay near the Tianzi Wharf outside Guangzhou to take shelter from the wind.

As a result, those "unscrupulous people" who were expelled from the city by Shang Zhixin and lived in tents near the south pier in Guangzhou thought that the heavenly soldiers of the third grandson of Zhu were coming to occupy Guangzhou City, so they all came out of the tents in the rain to welcome the new owner.

When the "unruly people" on the pier shouted "Guangzhou people, welcome Zhu Shengren", Zhu Heqi was drinking in the cabin with Da Boling in his arms, and at the same time discussing with Zhuge Military Adviser what to do next after conquering Guangzhou?Whether to continue to attack Zhaoqing, Shaozhou, and Huizhou, or to stabilize first and manage the Guangzhou base area well.

Before this Western Expedition, the senior officials of the Jieyang court did not discuss this matter... because no one expected that the Western Expedition would go so smoothly.

But the current situation is unbelievably good, even Shang Kexi stumbled and became Zhu Hechi's prisoner!As for the counties in Guangfu, except for Xinhui, they all look forward to the scenery.Guangzhou Fucheng seems to be within reach.

In this case, of course, we have to discuss what to do next?

However, Zhu Heqi and Zhuge military division had a rare disagreement on this issue. Zhuge Sanhe meant to make persistent efforts... at least after conquering the three prefectures of Shaozhou, Zhaoqing, and Huizhou, then consider reorganizing the territory. construction thing.

But Zhu Hechi is more "conservative", he thinks it is easy to "bullshit" if you take too big a step.After laying down the "Pearl River Delta", we should first develop the last wave... to turn Guangzhou Mansion into a reliable anti-Qing base, to control the land, population, resources, and handicrafts of Guangzhou Mansion, and then to develop the southeast, northwest, etc. All five factories have opened in Guangzhou.The "Whampoa Military Academy" has to be stunned, why should it have a one-two-three-four-five issue?With enough military and political cadres, the team can be further expanded, and the territory to be occupied can also be managed well!

When the two were arguing, they heard someone outside the cabin shouting "welcome the saint".Then Su Zhanshan opened the curtain with excitement and entered the cabin, bowed to Zhu Heqi and said, "My lord, I am so happy! The Qing demons in Guangzhou seem to have abandoned the city... Now the Tianzi Wharf is crowded with people. The elders of Guangzhou who are here to welcome the saint! My son, Guangzhou is already yours!"

This will take down Guangzhou?

Although Zhu Heqi, Zhuge Junshi, and Da Boling all knew that Guangzhou City was already in their pockets, the three of them did not expect that the possessions could be in the palm of their hands so quickly.

Zhu Heqi stood up abruptly, and then rushed out of the cabin with big strides. Military division Zhuge and Su Zhanshan hurriedly followed out, and Da Boling took an umbrella and followed them out.

Outside the cabin, it was still full of wind and rain. Zhu Heqi, who was dressed in a cloth corner scarf and had a long sword hanging from his waist, stood at the bow of the boat, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and watched the unforgettable scene in front of him with his eyes wide open. .

In the distance is the tall and majestic city wall of Guangzhou. Although it is shrouded in rain and fog, it can still be seen that the majesty of this thousand-year-old city is far from that of the small Jieyang County.

Nearby, there are a mass of "proletarians" kneeling in the city of Guangzhou... Looking at their clothes and figures, you can tell that they must be "proletarians" who have been oppressed.

At this time, several large sand boats had already docked at the pier, and many brocade-clothed soldiers in coir raincoats and bamboo hats had disembarked and were deploying defenses on the pier.They all knew Zhu Hechi, and when they saw him, they cheered loudly: "Long live the saint! Long live the saint!"

Although there was no official order to shout Zhu Hechi Long Live, but for some reason, everyone shouted unanimously.

The kneeling homeless people in Guangzhou had also heard of the name "Zhu San Tai Sun Zhu Shengren", and at this time they also shouted together: "Saint, long live! Saint, long live..."

Immediately, there was a sound of shouting long live on the pier.

Zhu Heqi, who had become "long live", didn't think there was anything wrong... Isn't the rebellion just to be long live?

What's so bad about being early now?

So he felt he had to say something at a moment that was bound to go down in history.

So he raised his right hand high and shouted: "Quiet!"

Of course, the people on the pier couldn't hear the "silence", but they still realized what the third grandson of the saint who appeared in front of everyone in the rain was going to say.

So the pier gradually became quiet, only the sound of wind, rain and the undulating water of the Pearl River remained.

Then, Zhu Heqi said: "In the past, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty entered Xianyang and made three chapters of the law with the people. The murderer died, the wounded and the thief was punished. Today, the lonely general enters Guangzhou, and he also followed the example of Emperor Gao and made three agreements with the folks in Guangzhou and Guangdong. One is to have food to eat together, the other is to have clothes to wear together, and the third is to have a house to live in together.

Gudang should make everyone in Guangdong have food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has fields and houses...together peace and happiness!

This is the world for the public, this is the great harmony of the world! "

"Saint, long live! Saint, long live..."

The cheers on the pier were even louder, not everyone could clearly hear what Zhu and Qi said.But it is exciting enough for a saint as big as Zhu Hechi to come out of the cabin in the heavy rain to give a speech to the big guys.

This also explains Zhu Hechi's attitude - he regards the Cantonese as his own!This monk is gratifying, and it is completely different from Emperor Kangxi treating Cantonese as thieves.

Moreover, Zhu Heqi, who regarded the Cantonese as his own, has now defeated Shang Kexi, and is about to take over the city of Guangzhou.

The big guy's good day is finally coming, how can he not be excited?

Zhu Heqi was also very excited, he felt that now it is necessary to perform again...bring these ragged "proletarians" into the city!

There are a huge crowd of "proletarians" on the wharf now, maybe there are tens of thousands of strong men, right?If you can convince them and organize them... then your rule in Guangzhou Mansion will be very secure.

So Zhu Heqi didn't plan to wait for the rain to stop, he was going to Guangzhou now!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi turned around and asked Su Zhanshan, "Zhanshan, have you prepared wall-piercing bullets?"

Su Zhanshan replied, "I'm ready...my son, are you going to blow up the gate of Guangzhou?"

Zhu Hechi nodded, "Yes, it is to blow open the gate of Guangzhou... The lonely family will bring their fathers and villagers into Guangzhou, arrange houses for them, and distribute clothes to them so that they can eat and wear warm clothes!"

The fourth volume, My Daming, is back!

Chapter 176 I am Daming, I am back again!

In the 26th year of the Yongli calendar of the Ming Dynasty, on the evening of May [-]rd.

Guangzhou City.

The rainstorm is like notes, pouring down.

A row of temporarily refitted shield chariots were placed outside the Wuxianmen gate tower in Guangzhou, and cavalry cavalry in brocade clothes, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats, patrolled and guarded in the vast rain and fog.The heavy rain almost formed a rain wall, dense and impenetrable.

Under such heavy rain, it still couldn't stop the eagerness of the people in the shantytowns in the south of Guangzhou City - they were all driven out of Guangzhou city by Shang Zhixin, and now of course they want to follow Zhu Shengren back to the city.

There are their homes and properties in the city... These Guangzhou people look very down and out now, but before they were driven out of the city, most of them had some property.Either craftsmen, businessmen, or landlords from all over Guangdong.

If it weren't for Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin's father and son who were more ruthless than the other, they simply didn't treat Guangzhou people like them as human beings, and they would never have stood by the third grandson of Zhu and opposed the wealthy Qing Dynasty.

These onlookers are now blocked by the cavalry sent by Zhu Heqi at a hundred steps away from the city wall of Nanguan City in Guangzhou, and can only watch from a distance.

Of course, most of these people went back to their huts, dried themselves, and changed their clothes... Some were holding umbrellas, some were wearing coir raincoats, and some were lighting torches and lanterns.

Zhu Heqi also sent officers and soldiers of Jinyi pro-army, who were literate children, to register them—registering them in the name of allocating housing, relief rations, and relief cloth.

When they enter Guangzhou City, these people have to be assigned military status, at least as alternates, and they can't let people take advantage of it for nothing, or they will feel ashamed!

Moreover, what kind of houses and supplies they can get depends on their abilities!
