Shang Zhixin took a look at Shang Zhijie, who was born tall and big, but had nine sons, and was really speechless. This guy has a bad body, is afraid of the cold, and coughs... Is shameless? He really has a father and a son!

However, Shang Zhixin did not force his fourth brother to die, because the one who competed with him for the throne of the crown prince is the second Shang's filial piety rather than the fourth Shang's pride.

So he turned his attention to another twenty younger brothers, as if he wanted to find someone who was not afraid of cold or death.

But these brothers didn't know what happened today? They were all well-off, but now they suddenly coughed with Shang Zhijie, and they coughed into pieces. Those who didn't know thought they had an influenza together.

Shang Zhixin looked at these unhelpful brothers and was about to get angry when Li Tianzhi, the chief of the Prince of Pingnan Palace, suddenly came forward and said, "The prince... it's too late to send troops to rescue Haizhu Island now."

Shang Zhijie immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, Li Changshi was right, it's too late now. Brother, you see, the ten sand boats on the west pier in Huangpu Village have already gone to Haizhu Island! Although there are red-clothed cannons on the island, the gunners are too old and are dizzy. The cannons are even older... They are all old cannons left by the former Ming Dynasty. They have not fired a single shot for many years. I don't know whether they can be used. I guess they can't knock down several large sand boats.

Moreover, there are few defenders in Cidu Temple, and the thieves can set off smoke and use fireball techniques to burn people. I think these old men can't stand it, so let's not waste our troops."

He was right!

Although Shang Kexi, the King of Pingnan, was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, he almost took out his heart to Shunzhi, Oboi, and Kangxi, but the Qing court still didn't believe him, so he kept stuck in the gunpowder and fire salt from the Pingnan Palace... In fact, Ping Nan Palace controls Xiangshan-Macao trade, and it is not a problem to have much fire salt, gunpowder and Western firearms. But Shang Kexi Zhong! So he had built more than 30 red-clothed foreign cannons in 20 years, and the accumulation of gunpowder was not enough to threaten the Qing Dynasty.

Because he did not dare to let go of his hands and feet to make firearms and gunpowder, Shang Kexi's army rarely conducted firearm training. Those heavy artillery obtained from the Ming army in Guangdong were even rare to fire a few shots, and only God knows how the performance was.

"But if the fake Grandson Zhu San got Macau, he must have many red-clothed cannons in his hand, and maybe there were Portuguese gunners working for him. If he got Haizhu Island, wouldn't Guangzhou Nancheng be bombed into a sieve?"

"Criminal Master," Li Tianzhi shook his head and said, "How many people in the South City have the same heart as me? If Zhu San attacks outside and the people are in chaos inside, we will die without a place to bury!"

"What should I do?" Shang Zhixin was a little panicked and looked at Li Tianzhi, "Changshi, do you want..."

He didn't say all of his words, but Li Tianzhi understood what he meant and quickly shook his head, "No, the people in the city are all Qing people! If the prince starts his attacks, it will be difficult to explain even if he wins! Guangdong officials in the court will inevitably attack them, and officials who intend to reduce the vassal states will use this as an excuse. And if they cannot win..."

Shang Zhixin's forehead was full of sweat beads, and he really couldn't kill people like him and Ama now!

First, there are too many treacherous officials in the court!

Second, he really may not be able to hold on... By then, those Guangdong people will pursue it and he will have no way out!

Li Tianzhi didn't want to do anything. This is not the era when the Qing Dynasty soldiers were invincible. On the contrary, Zhu Hetian's army was obviously advantageous when fighting against the Qing army. It is hard to say who will be subordinates in the future.

So he has to leave a way out for himself!

Thinking of this, he said to Shang Zhixin again: "The prince, Guangzhou is big, we have few soldiers and are unpopular, so it is impossible to defend it all.

For the current plan, we can only abandon the Nancheng and defend the North City with all our might, and then use the Prince's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion, Zhenhailou, Yuexiu Mountain and the Sifang Fortress in the north of the city as the last stronghold."

Guangzhou South City is actually the outer city of Guangzhou, and the north city is the inner city. The layout of this Guangzhou City is a bit similar to that of Beijing City. It is not that the outer city encloses the inner city, but that the outer city is in the south and the inner city is in the north. It is also a small outer city with a large inner city. And it is also a relatively large outer city for a small number of bannermen, green camp soldiers and family members. The smaller outer city is the place for Guangdong people.

However, Shang Zhixin had too few soldiers at hand, and now he had broken more than a thousand people under Zeng Qizhao's command, so even guarding the inner city was very tired. He could only use the areas of the royal palace, the prince's mansion, Zhenhailou, Yuexiu Mountain and Sifang Fort in the north of the city as the last stronghold.

"I have to do this..." Shang Zhixin knew that he had no tricks, but he was not willing to stay trapped to the end, and gritted his teeth and said, "But it's not okay to stay trapped. The fake third prince Zhu is too good to fight. If there is no foreign aid, then we will be dead!"

When he said "dead", he felt so desperate!

In fact, without foreign aid, it doesn’t mean that you will die... You can still escape!

Zhu Hezang's army came by boat, and he didn't have many cavalry at hand, while Shang Zhixin had four hundred cavalry at hand. Half of them were his direct leader, so he could certainly run away if he really wanted to run away.

But where can he go after running out of Guangzhou?

Go back to Beijing?

Can Emperor Kangxi spare him? Who exposes the "Chongzhen imperial edict"? Who forced Wu Sangui to the Jedi who had to rebel? Although Kangxi tried his best to stabilize Wu Sangui, it does not mean that Kangxi could spare his trust.

Go to Jieyang Village in Chaozhou Prefecture?

Can that unfilial father forgive him?

Other fathers may even be poisoned and don’t eat their children, but their family has too many unfilial fathers and sons, so they won’t feel sorry for killing anyone!

If Shang Zhixin loses Guangzhou and runs to Shang Kexi's army, he will fall into the trap. Shang Kexi will definitely destroy his son for justice. This unfilial father is really loyal to the Qing Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Shang Zhixin gritted his teeth and said to his fourth brother Shang Zhijie: "Fourth brother, you should go to Chaozhou Prefecture immediately and find us, and ask him to return to the army to rescue Guangzhou! He is going to come late... That's just a white-haired man who sends black-haired man or a thousand people!"

Thousands!

Shang Kexi's sons and grandchildren add one more piece to count... Shang Zhixin has made up his mind. Except for Shang Zhijie, Shang Kexi's children and grandchildren who are now in Guangzhou are not allowed to leave, and they are all staying in Guangzhou to follow.

I want to die together!

If Shang Kexi is really cruel to thousands of descendants, then Shang Zhixin will die!

......

"Criminal Master, the Qing Yao Brigade on the north bank of the Pearl River has retreated, and we have won the first battle!"

Hearing the shouts of military advisor Zhuge, he was concentrating on watching ten sand ships filled with young soldiers in brocade clothes rushing towards Zhu Hetong Island, and hurriedly turned the Qianli Mile Mile and looked towards the north bank of the Pearl River.

I only saw the Qing soldiers wearing green flags and gray-blue cloth armor slowly retreating to Guangzhou City.

"It seems that the Qing Yao in Guangzhou will not reinforce Haizhu Island!" Military advisor Zhuge said again, "We already have Huangpu Island and Huangzhou Island. If we can take over Haizhu Island, the waterway leading to Foshan Town and Sanshui County will be completely opened."

For the Pearl River Delta, of course, the Pearl River Waterway is a lifeline!

Huangpu Island, Haizhu Island and Huangpu Village are located in Huangpu Island, the heart of the Pearl River Waterway. If you control the heart of the waterway, you will of course be able to use troops from all directions.

Military advisor Zhuge also said: "I suggest that the prince set up a central army in Cidu Temple and station troops in Huangpu Island and Huangpu Village. While training troops, he divided his troops to take Foshan, Sanshui, eastward, and southward to Humenkou, Xin'an County... As long as Dongguan, Xin'an, Foshan, Sanshui, Shunde, Xiangshan, and Macau are all in my hands, Shang Kexie will be able to withstand me even if he returns to the army!"

Zhu Heying laughed loudly when he heard this: "It would be fine if Shang Kexi doesn't return to the army. If he comes to Guangzhou, then Guangzhou will be his death!"

He paused and said, "But the lonely family doesn't go to Cidu Temple, the lonely family is not a monk."

Military Advisor Zhuge was stunned, "I wonder where the prince wants to set up the central army?"
