Chen Yumo was dressed in a simple white cloth light shirt, standing in the crowd of people who came and went, his fair complexion and elegant temperament, but he stood out from the crowd, and he was very eye-catching.

An Xianguo and the others went to build a battle defense line, while the villagers who were constantly flowing through the town went to the various resettlement sites in an orderly manner with the help of the evacuated members led by Yumo.

With a scale of 50,000 people in Bengang now, it is not something that can be done in a short time or a half, but under Yumo's personal efforts, the people of Bengang are also very active in cooperating with the command of the evacuees.

As a woman, it is not easy to make a career in the context of the patriarchal era of the Ming Dynasty and be recognized by everyone. Although Li Tianyang has been acting as a promoter and backer behind the scenes, and many middle and high-level members of Qixintang and Hongtang are mostly the children of Li Tianyang and their own cultivation, Yumo can now be recognized by everyone, which is also what she has paid a lot of hardships and efforts to achieve.

Every month, the Salesian Bureau doctors are organized to go down to various residential areas to bring free treatment to the people, and even sometimes when the doctors are too busy, Yumo also goes into battle in person, using the medical knowledge she has learned to gently bandage the wounds of the injured and massage the affected areas.

Whenever there are any natural or man-made disasters in the town, or what difficulties arise among the residents, Yumo always takes people to the disaster site as soon as possible, and sends the comfort of the town's high-level leaders to the affected people.

The people don't really need much, Yumo is also kind and natural, even if this person used to be a beggar and a villain, Yumo can also send the government's care and help from the bottom of his heart.

In this way, through bits and pieces of ordinary deeds that do nothing, Yumo spent three or four years, and finally won the respect and love of the residents of Bengang from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Yumo can be recognized by more than 50,000 people in Bengang as a woman, which does not mean that the women in Bengang can also get the same treatment. Although the top management of Bengang has always consciously or unconsciously implemented an attitude of equal treatment of men and women, and has taken care of women in many jobs, such as medical staff, workshop workers, etc., the final effect is actually not very good.

The people's deep-rooted patriarchal thinking cannot be changed in a few years, but it takes a generation, or even several generations, to change it.

"Everyone line up, and if there is an explosion or other danger later, don't panic, remember to follow our guides, they will take you to a safe place." Yumo stood on a high platform made of several tables and chairs, and carefully and gently gave pre-war guidance to everyone: "Don't carry too many things on your body, our government has prepared food and drinking water, and the three meals a day will be distributed to everyone on time." As for clothing, soft and other items, please believe that our Hongtang and the brave soldiers of the defense force will definitely drive this gang of bad guys away in the shortest possible time! ”

"Boom!!"

The Dutch artillery fire came unexpectedly, landing on an unknown corner of the Bengang residential area, bringing up a large pile of vigorous gunpowder smoke and choking smoke.

It just so happened that the landing point of these shells was in the same area as the direction where Yumo was located, and several loyal soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to take Yumo away from this dangerous area, but Yumo pushed him away and refused: "Hurry up and help clear the order, don't let everyone mess up, I won't have a problem here!" ”

"......" Several soldiers looked at Yumo with embarrassed eyes, and they were reluctant to move, compared to other villagers, it was obvious that Yumo's safety was the biggest reassurance in the entire Bengang.

"Don't go !! yet" Yumo roared sharply, looking at the team of villagers who had been frightened by the artillery fire and were about to riot, her heart inevitably began to worry.

"Yes!"

In the end, several soldiers still couldn't resist Yumo's stern gaze, and unwillingly but helplessly walked towards the place where the noisy pushing and shoving were the most serious in the crowd, and soon controlled the somewhat out of control crowd.

On the outskirts of the Bengang residential area and near the wharf, the houses that have long been emptied have become the defensive positions of the defense team led by An Xianguo.

The first round of shelling of the enemy ships was very much a demonstration of the intention in it, and at the same time, they were adjusting the position and height of the guns on their own warships.

Wu Hu and Lahouk and their team members finally rushed over, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Dutch, Wu Hu and they had to go around in a circle.

"Don't be afraid, just treat this as a military training with real knives and guns, this group of red ghosts is not a demon or monster, and they can't stand our swords and guns!" An Xianguo is doing battlefield agitation work for the members of the defense team and others.

After all, the defense force is just a group of teams selected from ordinary people for daily trivial work such as the defense and patrol of Bengang, from the beginning of its establishment to the present, it has not experienced any major war for several years, so under the roar of the Dutch cannon, many soldiers have appeared in different layers of weak legs and feet, and the fear of trembling.

"Don't forget, everyone, behind us, there are everyone's parents, wives and children, if you let this group of wicked people who are vicious and fire at us without asking any questions rush into Bengang, can any of you guarantee that they will not meet your wives and children and parents and do all kinds of harm to your relatives?" An Xianguo is also secretly bitter in his heart, as the commander of the defense team, he has made enough preparations for the combat training of the team members for most of the past half a year, but in fact, when it comes to the real battlefield, the performance of the team members is still unsatisfactory: "Manly husband, the safety of the family and townspeople is on the shoulders of our team, if we don't fight hard, isn't it just letting our relatives face the enemy's swords and guns?" Aren't we sinners? ”

"the milk 0 milk, eighteen years later, we are a good man again, fight with them!!" Encouraged by An Xianguo, one of the defense guards finally stood up, clenched the long knife in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"That's it, this red ghost is not extraordinary, isn't it just like the Francophile in our town who believes in Jesus, and the blood shed is not red?" More and more members of the defense team spoke, and everyone cheered each other on, dispelling the apprehension and fear in their hearts.

At this time, An Xianguo finally put some of his mind at ease, and with such a performance in front of the station, the defense team finally had some combat power.

Then, after a brief lull, the Dutch artillery fire once again began to vent hundreds of guns in the five or six miles radius of Bengang. At the same time, the only dozen or so cannons on the wall of Bengang also began to target the seven huge warships in the river.
