Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

As the army continues to advance towards the city of Guangzhou, the number of this "Fashang Army" is also increasing!

When the "Fashang Army" moved along a waterway in Shunde County from the Xijiang River to the lower reaches of the Beijiang River, the number of rebels marching on land on both sides of the waterway in Xiangshan and Shunde counties exceeded [-]!

If you count the soldiers who set out from Macau, the total strength of this Fashang army has reached [-], which is really mighty!

Standing on the stern deck of a Portuguese-style galley that serves as the flagship of the fleet, watching the marching teams on both sides of the river with their heads wrapped in red cloth, Zhu and Qi felt like they were about to take off, as if they were about to put on their wings and fly to Guangzhou Fucheng has gone to be the master of the house.

"What does it mean to get more help when you are right, but little help when you are wrong? Look, this is called more help when you are right, but little help when you are wrong...Military division, it seems that when we arrive at the capital of Guangzhou, the number of troops will exceed [-]? My dear Jinyi An army of ten thousand would be invincible, but if there were one hundred thousand, where would it be impossible to go?"

The military master Zhuge standing beside him waved his goose feather fan and said: "If one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers are killed at the city of Guangzhou, those who are still cute and can be happy may run away... then we will be able to win Guangfu without fighting. !"

Da Boling also followed Zhu Heqi, and said with a smile: "If you want to be a slave, you are still cute, Shang Kele, and you will definitely abandon the city. Their Shang family has been in Guangdong for more than [-] years, and they have killed countless people." , Cantonese hate it to the core. If Guangzhou is destroyed by us, how can the Shang family survive? It’s better to run away early, maybe a few more people will survive.”

The chief housekeeper with tens of thousands of horses, Master Guo is also a high-ranking authority now, and he can stand with Zhu Heqi, Zhuge Sanhe, and Daboling, and he also smiled and echoed: "Isn't it, the dog of Xiangshan County The officials and officers and soldiers all ran away, and the two old thieves, Shang Kele and Shang Kele, might run away too."

Zhu Heqi sneered: "If Shang Kei and Shang Kele abandon the city, it will be difficult for us to pacify Guangdong. If they gather their troops and stick to Guangzhou, then it will suit my son's wishes!"

"My lord," Qiu Rong said, who was also on the galley sailing in the wind, and heard Zhu Hexi's words, he was a little puzzled. The temple fortress, there is a square fort on Yuexiu Mountain in the north of the city, it is not easy to fight, if you can not fight, then you are on the top?"

Guangzhou is indeed a strong city that is difficult to take down. The terrain alone is a headache. The Pearl River is on both sides of the southwest, and there is a Yuexiu Mountain to the north. Only the east is relatively flat and easy to attack.

Moreover, Shang Kexi built a square fort on Yuexiu Mountain in the north of Guangzhou City, and changed the Cidu Temple on Haizhu Island in the Pearl River in the south of Guangzhou City into a fort.Protected by two forts, one south and one north, the defense of Guangzhou City has become stronger.

Ordinary enemies really can't be defeated, but Zhu Heqi is not ordinary, he has "demon magic sugar medicine"!

Zhu Hechi shook his head and smiled and said, "What's so difficult about attacking Guangzhou? No matter how strong the forts of Cidu Temple and Yuexiu Mountain are, they can still compare with St. Paul's Fortress? Once these two forts are in hand, the city of Guangzhou cannot be defended at all." .

The 36 red barbarian cannons and the Portuguese artillery on the St. Paul's Fort were all brought into the army by us, and the Portuguese craftsmen from the Bucarao Cannon Factory also came with their equipment and materials.And we also have the sugar medicine flowering hammer, the point of breaking the city defense in Guangzhou is completely vulnerable!

If Shang Kei and Shang Kele, the two old fools, can gather the Qing demons in Guangfu, Zhaoqing, Huizhou and even Shaozhou to Guangzhou, then we will be able to destroy the villages and counties of Guangfu, as well as Zhaoqing without bloodshed. , Huizhou, Shaozhou and other places?This is how to become a fat man with one bite! "

"Then why do we join forces and go straight to Guangzhou?" Qiu Rong was a little puzzled, "Except for the townships along the river, and Xiangshan County, which the Qing Yao gave up, we didn't divide our troops to take it!"

Zhuge Sanhe said with a smile: "Scholar Qiu, let's join forces together and say with great fanfare that we are going to attack Guangzhou and destroy Shang's family, just to scare old men like Shang Kei and Shang Kele. As long as they are afraid, they will be stationed in various places. All the soldiers and horses in the area were transferred back to Guangzhou to save their lives. In this way, all the counties and townships in Guangfu and the fortresses garrisoned by green battalions will be empty, and it will be very easy for us to divide our troops to take them."

Zhu Hechi nodded and said: "This is called the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside... Most of the coolies we recruited in Macau and Xiangshan came from Guangfu, Zhaoqing, Huizhou and other places. The lonely family has organized them into groups according to the counties where they were registered. After the army has arrived at the city of Guangzhou and set up a fortified camp, dozens of elite soldiers can be dispatched and let them lead the twenty teams of township warriors to take back the hometowns of each team. "

"High!" Before Zhu and Qi had finished speaking, Qiu Rong had already provoked Thumbs and shouted, "If the soldiers of the Shang family retreat into Guangzhou, then there will be an empty city elsewhere, relying on a few dog officials and some strong people, Tuan Ding, if we resist our soldiers? If we take all the counties in Guangfu, Zhaoqing, and Huizhou, how can Guangzhou, a lonely city, survive like this? When Guangzhou is also taken by us, then we will take the whole city. The best piece of land in Guangdong!"

Zhuge Sanhe added, shaking his goose-feather fan: "There is another advantage of winning Guangzhou in the end, that is, it can give the old thief Shang and the little thief Xuanye some illusions, making them think that we are under the fortified city... We won’t send troops to help right away. As long as we give us a month or even half a month, most of the Guangzhou government, Huizhou and Zhaoqing will be taken, and they will be taken completely!”

Completely winning and only occupying the county seat and planting a flag are not the same concept.

What Zhu Hechi wanted to "take down completely" was to put the foundation of the regime into the township capital!Moreover, reforms such as land equalization, tax equalization, uniform labor, and school running must be completed, and through technology transfer and upstream and downstream integration at the commercial port of Macau and the five factories in the southeast, northwest, and inner regions, thoroughly control the sugar, wine making, ironware, and money finance in the Pearl River Delta. Industry, but also to control the supply of gunpowder in the townships of the Pearl River Delta.It is even possible to use the "magic garlic medicine" to set up the "Original Confucian Health Center".Integrate the land, population, wealth, and resources of the Pearl River Delta from all aspects to form a joint force against the Qing Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heqi smiled and said to the left and right: "As long as we win the best territory in Guangdong, then our situation will be completely opened...Wu Sangui from Yunnan will probably accept it if he sees him." If you don't stop rising and rebelling, then our big event will be accomplished!"

Chapter 146 Shang Zhixin, Your Family Has Millions of Enemies!

"What? Second Uncle... What are you talking about? Zhu is going to bring tens of thousands of people to Guangzhou to kill our family? How is this possible? Where did he get so many people?"

"Damn it, this Mrs. Zhu is so good at deceiving people's hearts. The tens of thousands of coolies in the Guanzha River Dayi Field were all boarded by him!"

"The coolies in the big market? Why? They have relied on the grace of our Shang family to survive all these years, why did they leave with the surname Zhu? Do they have a conscience?"

"My lord, according to the report from Xiangshan County, dysentery was spreading in Daqianchang a while ago, and many Liba were infected with the disease... The fake third grandson of Zhu did not know what kind of demon method he used, but he used garlic He cured a lot of coolies who were infected. Then he lied that we had cut off the supply of garlic, so he bewitched those coolies to come to Guangzhou to grab garlic, and wiped out our family by the way!"

"What? Just for a little bit of garlic, you're going against the law, and you're going to kill our door... Are these Cantonese people crazy?"

In the mansion of Prince Pingnan in Guangzhou City, Shang Zhixin, who had just returned with Li Tianzhi, Nie Bao, and Wang Guodong with [-] cavalry day and night, heard an unbelievable bad news before he could rest for a while.

Because of a few bulbs of garlic, tens of thousands of coolies gathered in the Guanzhahe Daba in the north gate of Macau actually rebelled with Zhu Hechi!Moreover, the door of Pingnan Wang's family is going to be destroyed... Where can there be so much hatred?

"Master, those coolies are your family's enemies!" Shi Li Tianzhi, the head of the royal family who followed Shang Zhixin back to Guangzhou, looked at the Prince Pingnan who came back from Beijing as if he didn't know anything, so he kindly reminded him.

"Enemies?" Shang Zhixin was taken aback, "My family has only been in Guangdong for how many years, how could there be tens of thousands of enemies?"

"Tens of thousands?" Li Tianzhi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "How could it be only tens of thousands..."

"Ah?" Shang Zhixin was taken aback, "More than tens of thousands? How many?"

"Several million!" Li Tianzhi smiled wryly, "You can't say that everyone in Guangdong has a grudge against your family, but only half of the people have a grudge against the eldest son's family, which is definitely not enough."

Well, most of Guangdong has feuds with Shang Kexi's family!

"Ah! Millions..." Shang Zhixin couldn't believe his ears, and looked back at Shang Keai, "Second Uncle, are there really so many?"

Hearing his question, Shang Kei could only nod with a wry smile: "Zhixin, our family does have more enemies in Guangdong."

"Is this too much?" Shang Zhixin was anxious, "This is too much... What have I, Ama, done these years? Why did I offend so many people?"

"Yeah, I didn't do anything," Shang Kei smiled wryly, "I just killed two or three million Cantonese..."

"Two to three million..." Shang Zhixin's eyes widened, "Why so much?"

I don't know how Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan, became the son of Prince Pingnan?Probably during those years in Beijing, he only cared about eating, drinking and having fun with Emperor Shunzhi and himself, and he didn't know how many unconscionable things he, Ama Shang Kexi, had done in Guangdong.Of course, he is not completely ignorant, but he did not expect that Ama killed the Manchurians to such an extent!

Hearing what Shang Zhixin said, Li Tianzhi sighed and said: "When the prince attacked Guangzhou, because the defenders were too stubborn, he slaughtered the city and killed hundreds of thousands! Later, Wang Xing of Dawen Village slaughtered him back and forth. 10,000+! And then the coastal relocation... Hundreds of thousands of people died in the eight counties of Guangdong!"

"What? Why did so many people die when they moved to the Forbidden Sea?" Shang Zhixin was stunned again and again. When he was eating, drinking and having fun in Beijing, he had heard of the massacres of Guangzhou, Wencun, Chaozhou, and Jieshi. But I haven't heard of the massacre of the ban on the sea.

Li Tianzhi sighed again, and said: "The massacre of Haiban is the most terrible disaster in Guangdong since ancient times! And it happened in the peaceful years. It's really hard to say. The son is far away in Beijing, so it's not surprising that he didn't know what happened."

Shang Zhixin turned his head to look at Shang Keai again, who nodded with a wry smile: "It is true that the matter of the sea ban has been done in a hurry... Many places have only given a three-day deadline, how can the people below have time to prepare? Many people even I didn't know that we were going to move, but when the officers and soldiers came to the door, we knew that something was wrong. But how could there be time to prepare rations and luggage? The officers and soldiers who were forced to relocate didn't wait for anyone. When the time came, they set fire to the house, leaving no tiles behind. The forced relocation caused more than half of the people on the coast to die. Those who went to the interior had no money, food and land to resettle, and only one out of ten survived. Among the coastal counties in Guangdong, only Qiongzhou Prefecture, Chaozhou Prefecture and The situation in Xinhui County in Guangfu is slightly better, Qiongzhou will not be moved, and Chaozhou has Su Li, Qiu Hui, Xu Long and others resisting one or two, so that the coastal people can live longer."

"This, this, this... why bother?" Shang Zhixin shook his head again and again, "Isn't Guangdong my family's feudal land? Why are you killing innocent people so indiscriminately?"

Li Tianzhi sighed again: "My lord has always done more things that the court has handed over to me, but it's just that I offended the Cantonese too much!"

Shang Keai also nodded and said: "Among the San Francisco, our family is the most loyal... These years, for the Qing Dynasty, almost half of the Cantonese have become enemies!"

"What a fool..." Shang Zhixin stomped his feet, he really had nothing to say except scolding his father.

It is right to act as lackeys and kill people for the Qing court, but it is too much to turn half of the Cantonese into blood feuds.

And... these Cantonese people can play demons now that they have Shenlei!

Now tens of thousands of enemies who hated the Shang family came to Guangzhou to seek revenge with grenade hammers, what should we do?

"We can't let these Cantonese invade Guangzhou City!" Shang Zhixin was in a hurry, these are all enemies... The Shang family killed his brothers, parents, and forced them to leave their homes and lose their fortunes. the sea.

What's even more frightening is that the Shang family's enemies now have a grenade hammer... Don't be afraid that there are many enemies, but you may not be able to beat them!

If you can't beat it, you will exterminate the clan!

"Second Uncle," Shang Zhixin thought for a while and asked again, "How many soldiers are there in Guangzhou now?"

"This..." Shang Keai frowned, "All the elites of the Fanzhong went to Jieyang with you, Ama. There are only old, weak, women and children in Guangzhou City. Among them, there are no more than 4000 old people in the Fanzhong and slaves under the Fanzhong who can still hold weapons. There are also three to 4000 strong women who can also go to the city to fight. There is also a Guangzhou city defense battalion available."

"Is it less than [-] including women?" Shang Zhixin was anxious, "How is this enough?"

Shang Kele on the side said: "Zhixin, don't be in a hurry... There are still many troops outside Guangzhou City, there is a Naval Association in Humenkou, Dongguan and Shunde Towns have left some soldiers, Xiangshan, Xinning, Xinhui There are also city guard camps in Guangzhou, Xin'an, Foshan, etc. These groups of soldiers and horses total seven to eight thousand, and the troops of the false third grandson of Zhu are not so easy to fight against the city of Guangzhou.

In addition, the entire army of Zu Zeqing, Gao Lei's general soldier, was not mobilized. If they were all transferred to Guangfu, another 5000 people could be added. "

"Isn't Zu Zeqing from Wu Sangui?" Shang Zhixin frowned, "Don't count his people... I don't know if there are fifteen thousand of these miscellaneous people, and they are still scattered everywhere. Sprinkling pepper noodles is almost the same, if the tens of thousands of false grandsons of Zhu San come to the city of Guangzhou, we can only use a few thousand, what a fart! This is not possible, we have to transfer people from all over the city to the city of Guangzhou."

"Zhixin, that's not acceptable!" Shang Keai shook his head, "If all these soldiers are in Guangzhou, what should we do elsewhere? If the third grandson of the false Zhu Zhu divides his troops to attack the counties in Guangfu, wouldn't they be able to defeat them easily? There is only one city left in Guangfu, and it will not last long!"

Shang Zhixin snorted and said, "Now the soldiers of the false third grandson of Zhu are heading north along the Xijiang waterway and heading straight for Guangzhou! In seven or eight days at most, they will be able to reach the city of Guangzhou. If you can't gather troops now , By that time we will still be able to mobilize reinforcements outside the city?

Besides, there are magistrates in each county, and they are responsible for guarding the land. They can mobilize the strong people and regiments to stand firm...the city may not be destroyed!Erbo, hurry up and order people from Dongguan, Shunde, Xiangshan, Xinning, Xinhui, Xin'an, Foshan, etc. to come to Guangzhou! "

Shang Keai said, "Zhixin, you can abandon other small counties in Guangfu as soon as you abandon them, but there is one place that you must never abandon!"

"Where?" Shang Zhixin asked.

"Xinhui!"

Chapter 147 The New Club of the Qing Dynasty!The Whampoa of Ming Dynasty!

"Xinhui?" Shang Zhixin thought for a while, "Is it the Xinhui that resisted Li Dingguo's army in the 11th year of Shunzhi?"

"Yes, that's there!" Shang Ke said with a smile, "When Li Dingguo led 20 troops into Guangdong after beating Kong Youde to death, he fought all the way to the city of Xinhui. We held on for two or three months without enough food, and when reinforcements from all walks of life arrived, an epidemic broke out in Li Dingguo's army... Our family's prosperity may come to an end!"

Shang Kele also said with a smile: "Isn't that right, our family can rule Guangdong for 20 years, thanks to the hard work of the people in Xinhui. If they hadn't been able to defend firmly, Li Dingguo would have taken down Xiangshan after breaking Xinhui. After getting Xiangshan , you can collude with the Portuguese. The Portuguese were still inclined to hypocrisy. If Li Dingguo got the red cannon and the turtledove foot musket provided by the Portuguese, it is hard to say whether the city of Guangzhou can be kept.

And the prince has always had a clear sense of grievances and grievances, and of course he has to repay the benefits of the Xinhui people.Therefore, there are many people from Xinhui who serve as officials, soldiers and slaves under our Pingnan Prince's Mansion. The soldiers of our Pingnan Prince's Mansion will marry wives and concubines, and Xinhui women are the first choice.That is very virtuous, and it is also very fresh.Hehehe..."

Shang Zhixin also nodded. He did have a dozen or so young mothers with new memberships, and they didn't look particularly annoying.

Shang Keai added: "Furthermore, the coast of Xinhui is not long, and Xinhui people have more outlets, so they suffer less from the border transfer sea ban than other counties. The way to become a slave in the Pingnan Palace is always Reserved for newcomers.

So this Xinhui is the most reliable county in Guangdong... even more reliable than the outer city of Guangzhou. As long as this Xinhui is in our hands, we can recruit troops to expand our army and fight to the end with Zhu! "

This cute analysis is really reasonable!

Under Shang Kexi's rule, most of the people in Guangdong were in dire straits, and only the people from Xinhui were slaves—the old man was not at ease when Cantonese from other places came to be Shang Kexi's slaves!Who knows if he will put some Hedinghong in his meal for him to taste?

Only Xinhui people's "true love" for Daqing has been tested by Li Dingguo, and Shang Kexi is absolutely assured.So Shang Kexi and his group of maids and servants in the residence of his children and grandchildren are all from Xinhui.Shang Kexi's local concubines in Guangdong are also Xinhui women.

With this relationship, all the officials who went to work in Xinhui "love the people like their own sons", and the Qing soldiers stationed in Xinhui are also very disciplined... Shang Kexi has so many concubines, including his sons, grandchildren and concubines And nanny, these people have relatives in Xinhui!

Who wants to mess around in Xinhui, who can bear the wind blowing by the pillow into a tornado?

"So I really can't give up coming to Xinhui," Shang Zhixin pondered for a while, and then asked, "Who is the county magistrate of Xinhui now? And who is the general guarding the city camp?"

"Reporting to my son," said Shi Li Tianzhi, the head of the palace, "the county magistrate of Xinhui is now named Wang Shuo. He was a Jinshi in the third year of Kangxi, and his official reputation is excellent. The guard general of Xinhui is named Zhang Haiyang... He turned out to be Yan Ziming's general in the Chinese army, and he was the one who came up with the bad idea of ​​sending aid around Guiyu last time. He was supposed to be dismissed and investigated, but after you spoke, he was sent to Xinhui."

Shang Zhixin remembered that the two of them were very active in flattering him, and it seemed that they wanted to take refuge in him.

Thinking of this, he said to Shang Kei and Shang Kele: "Uncle, uncle, how about this... I brought back [-] cavalry, all of them are elite, they can be divided into three groups, four hundred for one route, and two for the other two routes." One hundred. Four hundred of the road will be stationed in Guangzhou, and I will lead them personally. The other two roads will be led by the two, and the road will be stationed in Xinhui to recruit troops to expand the army; all the way to Zhaoqing and meet with the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Jin Guangzu, and then ask Jin Guangzu to quickly transfer Guangxi soldiers and horses. Aid to Guangdong. Which of you two will go to Xinhui and who will go to Zhaoqing?"

"I'm going to Zhaoqing!" Shang Keai immediately snatched the "good job" going to Zhaoqing, "I'm quite familiar with Jin Guangzu, and I'm also old with that girl Kong Sizhen."

"Okay, then I'll go to Xinhui!" Shang Kele gritted his teeth, and took over the drudgery of going to Xinhui to recruit soldiers.

Shang Zhixin let out a breath, and said with a wry smile: "My Ama is also bewildered, and she is determined to destroy Jieyang County, so this part of the family business in Guangzhou can only rely on you two to help."

"It's easy to say, we are all a family!" Shang Kei smiled and said, "Zhaoqing has me, so there is nothing wrong with it."

Shang Kele also said: "I will watch over Xinhui for you, give me three months, no, two months, and I will be able to pull out [-] elite soldiers! When the time comes, if those surnamed Zhu dare not retreat, I will take them with them." Go and copy Macau!"

……

"My lord, Huangpu Island is here!"

Zhuge, who spent several years in Guangzhou in the early years, held up his goose feather fan, pointed to a thirty-foot-high mountain in the west that stood in the middle of the Pearl River, and shouted at Zhu Heqi, who had just emerged from the cabin, The words were filled with uncontrollable excitement.

In fact, Zhu Hechi was as excited as he was—because Huangpu Island was almost the east gate of Guangzhou, and it was also the end point of Zhu Hechi's march.

Because the two forts of Dajiao and Shajiao at Humenkou and the two fortresses of Humenzhai and Baishazhai are very difficult to fight.Moreover, to attack Humenkou, the Portuguese of Macau had to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, so Zhu Hechi simply bypassed Humenkou this time, took Macau first, then took the Xijiang waterway, and then took the canal at the junction of Xiangshan and Shunde to enter the Beijiang waterway, and then went Shawan and Shiji villages enter the main channel of the Pearl River, and then go westward.

Although this road is a bit detoured, it does not suffer.Because Zhu Heqi's army advanced by land and water, and the momentum was huge, the towns and cities along the way all waited for the wind to join them, while the officials and defenders of the Qing Dynasty all fled without fighting-in fact, they were not considered fleeing, but were entrusted to Shangzhi. Xin's order was withdrawn to Guangzhou City.However, their withdrawal has greatly encouraged the morale of the army and the people on Zhu Heqi's side.

The invincible soldiers of the Qing Dynasty all fled away!Who would dare to fight against the "Hundred Thousand Kings" led by the third grandson of Zhu?

Therefore, the county towns of Xiangshan and Shunde counties, plus most of the affiliated townships, changed hands in a blink of an eye!

And it changes hands quite effectively!

The two counties were taken over by Mr. Guo and Yu Xiaoqian with a few newly expanded Jinyi pro-army hammer-throwing leaders, and the townships below were followed by the Jinyi pro-army veterans sent by Zhu Heqi with the new brothers who joined the gang in Macau. Brother drive in.

Those new brothers are local strong men in Xiangshan and Shunde, and many of them come from the villages they want to enter.

The routines adopted when entering were also used by Zhu Heqi when they went to the countryside around Jieyang County.First use hollow-charged sugar bombs to blow up a section of the old wall to show the muscles, then come to the Seven Great Hatreds of Guangdong, and finally "sweat" - in addition to special white sugar and sugarcane wine, there are also two hospitals and schools. big project!

In particular, the "Garlic Immortal Medicine", which specializes in treating diarrhea diseases, is really attractive to Cantonese.Dysentery was a very common disease in Guangdong at this time, and many people died every year. If anyone could have a "fairy medicine" that could cure diarrhea, he would really be a living Bodhisattva.

Now that the grandson of Zhu San happened to have this "fairy medicine", he would be a living Bodhisattva and a living god... The gods rebelled, and the Qing Dynasty will be over!

Therefore, most of the townships in Shunde and Xiangshan, before and after Zhu Heqi's army passed through the border, had already cut their braids and joined them. Provided food, folks, boatmen and ships.

Therefore, the size of the fleet of ships and troops marching in near Huangpu Island is now more than 8% larger than when they left Macau... A total of [-] troops have already arrived in Guangzhou. nearby!

Zhu Hechi held up the binoculars, observed from a distance, and then said to Zhuge's military adviser: "Let Qiu Rong go...take Huangpu Island before dark!

In addition, an order was sent to Lin Ahu to lead Jinyiwei Beizhen's elite soldiers to bypass Huangpu Island to capture Huangpu Village.Tonight, the lonely family will sleep in Huangpu Village! "

Chapter 148 Shang Zhixin, My Heart Is Bitter!

When Zhu and Qi expressed that they would sleep in Huangpudu, Shang Zhixin was leading 20 fine cavalry, more than [-] younger brothers, thousands of soldiers from the old man, and more than a thousand men from the Zeng Qizhao tribe who had withdrawn from Humenkou, were in Huangpudu. , Huangpu Village and the area around the defense.

There are many "Whampoa" in the east of this Guangzhou prefecture, and there is a Huangpu Island in the Pearl River waterway... which is where the future Whampoa Military Academy is located!

There is Huangpudu in the north of Huangpu Island, which is a fairly large township.A long section of the north bank of the Pearl River is the territory of Huangpudu.

Because there is Cidu Temple Fort in the south of Guangzhou Fucheng, Yuexiu Mountain Sifang Fort in the north, and the south and west of the city are facing the river, which is difficult to attack.Only the east side of Guangzhou City is relatively open and there is no danger, so it is the best direction for the enemy to attack.

And part of the Pearl River under the jurisdiction of Huangpu is the best landing place-because there are several fishing ports and cargo wharfs in this area, which is convenient for people and goods to land.

To the west of Huangpu Island is Huangzhou Island. There is also Huangpu Village on the island, which is also named after Huangpu. It is also an "international trade village".
