In the early morning, the mist near the coast of Guangcheng had not yet dissipated, and the city was already in full swing.

The pirates have caused heavy losses to the property in the suburbs of Guangcheng, but the officials and lords don't care about this, as long as they don't enter the city of Guangzhou, everything is safe.

After the people who had taken refuge in Xin'an had slept in the streets of the city for three days, the prefect of Guangcheng opened a porridge shed outside the city to allow the people to join in the construction of the city gate and the commercial market outside the city by means of work for relief.

There was no other way to do all kinds of chaos in Guangcheng, the Guangzhou Left Guard did not make meritorious achievements in this battle, and was not treated by officials, and even the camp in the city was opened by the governor Zhang Han Chrysostom to Shunde to try a thousand households Shao Tingda, in order to station the wounded soldiers from Xiangshan, and the original Guangzhou Left Guard Banner Army was sent to dig a big pit in the mountains outside the city.

The corpse of the Japanese is not a treasure, and the exploits of the night battle outside the city were cleared after dawn, and the old governor looked at him all night, and no one dared to be the slightest ambiguous...... Therefore, Shunde Qianhu Yinjian is not far away, and no one dares to take the lead at this time.

Rao is like this, there are many things in and outside the city, and both the people and the officials are busy and dizzy.

What's more, they had to guard with their hearts, Wang Rulong and Hu Liangpeng were directly sent by the governor to camp outside the city, and the sentinels were released for thirty miles before they could rest assured.

Tang Kekuan, who was halfway with his troops, was galloping to the aid of Canton Mansion, but only halfway through the road, he was sent back by the governor and asked him to continue to garrison the west of Guangdong; Guo Cheng of Huizhou Mansion entered Guangzhou Mansion, and was scolded by Zhang Han at the governor's yamen, and sent him back with his troops.

Only summoned Yu Dayou, who was guarding Chaozhou, back.

It was not that Zhang Han was waiting to see the chief military officer Yu Dayou, but because he wrote a poem on the wall of the Chenghuang Temple in Xin'an County before leaving, ridiculing Yu Dayou.

Or because of the previous things in Fujian, there was a Zhao'an before, just before the fire burned Chenghai, the Chenghai Imperial Court sent Yu Dayou to deal with Zeng Yi, Yu Dayou repeated his old tricks, and recruited Zeng Yiyi, but he was deceived.

That time of departure, Zeng Yi snatched 60 Dafu boats from Fujian.

Chen Mu didn't know that this time he was in the limelight, and he was used as a gun by the old governor to shout at several chief military officers of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, intending to deter these arrogant generals who had become famous - if it is not good to lead troops to fight, people will fight!

Who's going to fight? Xiangshan Qianhu Chen Muda.

The mist gradually dispersed, several horses went straight to the city, the alarm bell at the head of the city was sounded again, and suddenly the whole city moved, the battalion soldiers fortified on the shore as if facing the enemy, the four guards of Guangcheng gathered more than a thousand banners to wait for the battle, and the governor and the prefect boarded the city to supervise the battle.

They had no ships, and the last of their ships were all snatched by Zeng Yi, and there was no defense at sea, so they could only resort to repelling the enemy on land.

Riders from Nanhai County rode into Fucheng to call the police, and their sentry on the hill saw a large fleet of ships speeding towards the mouth of the river in the distance, and the banners were chaotic, looking like the arrival of the Japanese invaders.

However, the governor who had been showing off his might for a few days was shocked, and had just driven the two chief military officers back, and now the Japanese came again, "Could it be that Chen Erlang is defeated?" ”

The old governor on the city wall muttered to himself, his withered fingers clasped the battlements, his eyes looked straight at the river, and he asked people to take his armor and hang a sword with jade equipment around his waist.

Be prepared to live and die with the city.

The river wind dispelled the mist, and at the end of the eye was a very high mast, a huge sail for a ride, and over time, the original white sail emitted a pale yellow, but the red huge cross was more conspicuous, and the huge hull was lined with sailors, and the momentum was terrifying.

Behind the big black boats, there are countless fortune boats, wide ships, black-tailed boats, and white-ship ships, as well as smaller horse ships, grain ships, and fast boats. It wasn't until the big ship stopped at Jiangxin Island that people saw that the big black boat was dragging four or five tattered fortune boats with ropes, and some of them still had huge gaps in their bellies that had not been repaired.

Not only the black ships, but also many other lucky ships had to be dragged by each other to travel, especially those with broken masts.

With doubts on his face, the old governor in the helmet raised his finger and pointed to Jiangxin Island, and asked to the left and right: "That, it's a ship from Guangdong, right?" ”

Shao Tingda was lucky, as soon as there was a war, he was summoned by the governor to his side to lead the troops to protect, this will hear the governor's question, after a few careful glances, he said with some uncertainty: "Back to the governor, the big ship seems to be the Haojing merchant, the ship behind is ours, maybe, it's me, it's Chen Qianhu back!" ”

"Hey!"

The governor squinted his eyes angrily, raised his hand and pointed towards Jiangxin Island, turned around and turned back, pointed at Jiangxin Island again, laughed, shook his head and ordered: "Give the armor to the old man, send an order to the defenders under the city, send someone to see if it is Chen Qianhu, if so, send someone to answer!" ”

"Tinda, go back and talk to your brother, report, report! There are so many river defenses along the way, I don't know how to send someone to ride a horse to make an announcement? ”

Shao Tingda could see that Zhang Han's helpless appearance was not angry, so he responded briskly, beckoned the old governor to take his clothes and armor left and right, and then hugged his fists and smiled a little flatteringly: "Governor, Brother Mu has taken the ship back!" ”

Zhang Han nodded heavily, both the anxiety of the warship being captured, and the worry of the defeat and death of the Xiangshan soldiers, many emotions converged into one mood and sighed, but he only said lightly and heavily: "There are so many ships." ”

Too much.

Chen Qianhu saw the battalion soldiers waiting by the Guangcheng River from a distance, which made him laugh dumbly, and the consequences of not sending someone to report came out, so that the Guangcheng police.

It's not that he didn't mean to report, even if he didn't know, Chen Ling and Bai Yuanjie also knew, and there was really no way to report it.

Along the way, they all belong to the boundaries of Xin'an County, and the officials and most of the people of Xin'an County have fled to Guangcheng. Even the corpses left in Tuen Mun had no one to help bury them, and if it weren't for the courage of the people who hid in the mountains later, they would still be busy digging pits and burying the corpses.

But the people had no horses, and they sailed faster than the people who delivered the news.

Chen Mu's banner army could not hold up another rapid march, so he could only sail directly into Guangzhou.

Francosis was asked by him to leave the gunboat and go down to Jiangxin Island to wait, and most of the flag troops rested on Jiangxin Island, Chen Mu, Chen Lan, Bai Yuanjie and several generals took a fast boat and went straight to the shore of Guangcheng. ”

There was no need for him to report it, after confirming it, the governor Zhang Han and the others had already ridden their horses towards here under the protection of Wang Rulong and Shao Tingda, and when they came out of the battalion, the governor was also reining in his official robes and walking quickly.

"Chen Qianhu, have you taken all the boats back?"

Chen Mu pursed his lips and bowed, saluted with some difficulty with his hanging arm, and said, "Go back to the military gate, and live up to your mission." Stone hundred! ”

Behind him, Shi Qi took out a note and saluted several high-ranking officials of the Cantonese government first, and then took the note and reported: "We waited for three days of pursuit, first fought the enemy in the Xin'an Sea, and then started a big battle in Tuen Mun. Chen Shoubei, Bai Qianhu, and Haojing led the army to encircle, and completely annihilated more than 1,800 Japanese invaders, more than 1,200 corpses in Xin'an County, and hundreds of people who jumped into the sea and drowned. ”

"Thirty-seven ships were recaptured, twelve of which were damaged; Twenty-two ships were shipped, three of which were sunk in battle; There are also small boats, not counted, and the goods on the ship have not been touched, and they have all docked in the river. ”

After Shi Qi said that, Chen Mu saluted Zhang Han again, and gestured to Jiangxin Island: "Please check the governor!" ”
