The Ming army was as powerful as a rainbow, and its military flags fluttered in the wind, lingering for hundreds of miles.
Zhao Yong, the admiral of the Guyong Camp and Mingyang Bo Zhao Yong, acted as the vanguard and led ten thousand people from the Guyong Camp to the gates of Xuzhou City. Huai'an General Zhang Yueming and Fengyang General Zou Wen killed the local prefect and bannermen and led the crowd to cut off their braids. Raise the flag and restore the Ming Dynasty.
So Huai'an and Fengyang returned without a fight. The troops from the two places attacked Xuzhou at the same time, trapping Xuzhou tightly and unable to move.
This is normal.
After all, this area was the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty. The Zhu family had a lot of favors, and there were many families named Zhu in Fengyang!
Although a lot of people were killed, there were always people who changed their names. Now the Ming Dynasty is like a tiger swallowing thousands of miles. As the land of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty, there are naturally many people who raise troops.
The Xuzhou General Soldier was also a second-generation traitor. He had many concerns about surrendering and was entangled a lot for a while. However, while he was struggling, the Ming army had begun to besiege the city, and the Xuzhou General Soldier could only grit his teeth and hold on. , I hope Emperor Yulong, General Jiangning, and the Governor of Liangjiang can help their brothers.
Emperor Yulong was Aixinjueluo Fuquan, also known as "Nanlu Qing" in the Ming Dynasty.
As for Yue Le, he was Emperor Yangwu, and Zhu Houcong called him "Xilu Qing".
As for the three vassals, they are called "Wu Qing", "Shang Qing" and "Geng Qing" in order. Judging from their current posture, they seem to distinguish each other in this way.
Of course, it still claims to be the 'Great Qing' to the outside world.
Qing Dynasty divided into five equal parts.
"General!"
The accompanying soldiers rushed to the location of the pioneer general Zhao Yong of the Guyong camp, stopped at their feet, and handed over their hands to report: "Brothers of the Jinyiwei sent an urgent report that Jiangning General Echu has led the Eight Thousand and Eight Banners of Jiangning Green Camp. Three thousand went north and stationed troops in Chuzhou, intending to send troops to rescue Xuzhou. Former Jiangning general Zu Yonglie led 1,500 of his servants to help!"
Ye Bu Shuang was a sentinel or spy in the Liaodong border defense army in the Ming Dynasty. It was a sentinel with extremely regional characteristics. However, after Zhu Houcong succeeded the Ming Emperor, the position of Ye Bu Suo was widely used in all battalions of the army to provide guidance. .
After hearing Ye Bushou's report, Zhao Yong seemed to have expected it, and there was no problem.
Especially when I heard that former Jiangning general Zu Yonglie brought 1,500 servants to help in the battle, I felt like I could capture him.
Zu Yonglie was the son of Zu Kefa, the adopted son of Zu Dashou. He was good at conquering and fighting. During the Shunzhi Dynasty, he even served as General Jiangning. General Jiangning, who was mostly Han Chinese.
Since Echu, Zu Yonglie's successor, General Jiangning has become an exclusive position for the Eight Banners of Manchuria. After all, General Jiangning occupies a high position and controls all the Eight Banners troops and horses in the Jiangnan area. It is the lifeblood of the empire and cannot be controlled for a long time. In the hands of Han people.
The Eight Banners of the Han Army are also Han people.
Although he is called a bannerman and his treatment is higher than that of ordinary Han people, in the eyes of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, he is just a high-level slave. Previously, Emperor Shunzhi liked to play around and made you, a Han, the general manager of Jiangnan. We can't continue now.
Zu Yonglie obviously understood this, so after learning that the Ming Dynasty had returned, he secretly contacted several former Ming Dynasty Jinyi guards regardless of their identity.
The Jin Yiwei of the former Ming Dynasty also contacted the current Jin Yiwei, so Zu Yonglie got on the line and now actively led his servants to join the battle with Jiangning General Echu. Maybe he wanted to be in front of the battle, maybe he wanted to plot against the Ming army. .
Whether it was the former or the latter, Zhao Yong would view this matter as a conspiracy.
As a general, he must not take risks and gamble when he is not at the end of his rope. All Zhao Yong can do is to play steadily.
This is also the reason why he was able to become the admiral of the Gu Yong Battalion after inheriting the title of his ancestors.
He is not a talented general, so all he can do is to hold on to the stronghold and fight stupidly. Only by fighting steadily can he avoid losing his troops and humiliating the country.
"Call the troops to surround three groups and attack Xuzhou today. After the city is defeated, everyone will be rewarded!"
Zhao Yong took a deep breath and then raised his voice: "Soon, your Majesty will personally lead the army south. The soldiers of the brave camp will make great achievements in defeating the enemy today!"
"kill!"
…
"When will the soldiers and horses from Yangzhou and Luzhou arrive?! They are all working for the Qing Dynasty. Can you give me a hand?"
In the city of Xuzhou, facing the constant roar of war, Zhang Enyuan, the commander-in-chief of Xuzhou, was anxious. He looked at the messengers sent back from Yangzhou and Luzhou and asked anxiously.
Ever since Tianjin was captured by the Ming army and Shandong was swept away, Xuzhou Commander-in-Chief Zhang Enyuan was very advanced and immediately sought help from the surrounding soldiers and horses.
Hard work pays off.
Soon, news came from Huai'an and Fengyang next to Xuzhou. Huai'an General Zhang Yueming and Fengyang General Zou Wen wrote fiercely to denounce Zhang Enyuan for not knowing the destiny and dared to resist the Ming Dynasty king's army, and decided to use their troops to cut off Zhang Enyuan's attack. On the back road, they attacked Xuzhou together with the Ming Dynasty.
As for Yangzhou and Luzhou, they could only take the Zhenjiang and Chuzhou roads due to the jump between Fengyang and Huai'an. Therefore, they delayed their journey and just came back to report to Zhang Enyuan.
"General Zhang!"
One of the messengers looked sad and said in a somewhat unspeakable voice: "My general said that the soldiers and horses from Luzhou cannot come to help Xuzhou."
"Why is this?"
Zhang Enyuan's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears: "The Ming army's 300,000 troops went south. Even though Xuzhou is a fortified city, how can it compare to Beijing? If there is no help, Xuzhou will be destroyed with a snap of a finger, and the Qing Dynasty will be in danger. The emperor is in danger!"
If Xuzhou is lost, we will have no choice but to retreat to the Yangtze River!
The messenger only promised: "All the soldiers in Luzhou have been transferred by the emperor, saying that they are going to suppress the rebellion and fight against the overbearing rebels and Yue Le, who claims the destiny of heaven..."
Zhang Enyuan:?
When he heard about the counter-insurgency, Zhang Enyuan thought that he might be going to harass the Ming army's rear.
But after hearing the word 'Yue Le', Zhang Enyuan couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Back then, the small court of Nanming was not united and kept fighting among itself. This gave us the opportunity for the Qing Dynasty to take advantage of. Only then could we, the Qing Dynasty, work hard and destroy Nanming in a hurry!"
Zhang Enyuan was very angry. He had profound historical lessons. Back then, he followed his father in shaving his hair and surrendering in Fujian. He saw with his own eyes how Nanming perished: "How come we in the Qing Dynasty are doing this now? ! The Ming Dynasty is like a wolf and a tiger, and our Qing Dynasty is in danger!"
Zhang Enyuan was heartbroken and felt deeply uncomfortable.
If there is internal fighting, the country will be destroyed, and if the country is destroyed, there will be internal fighting!
Unexpectedly, these words would actually come true for them, Da Qing.
"That's it, that's all, that's all!"
Zhang Enyuan shouted three times in a row, then looked at the messenger from Hangzhou and asked the messenger: "Where is Yangzhou? How is Yangzhou?"
Yangzhou is a famous city in the world.
Although, there was a small misunderstanding at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Our Qing soldiers accidentally killed a few Han people in Yangzhou, but Zhang Enyuan believed that those Han people would ignore their past grudges and come to help our Qing Dynasty. of.
"No way, Mr. Zhang. When the people of Yangzhou heard about the return of the Ming Dynasty, they began to carry out resistance activities. Seven big families in the city openly supported the Ming Dynasty. We, the generals in Hangzhou, always have to consider the impact. If the soldiers and horses are transferred, Yangzhou will be in danger! "
The messenger's voice was also very helpless, and Zhang Enyuan's face turned ashen when he heard these words.
Soon, Zhang Enyuan came to his senses. After dismissing the two messengers, he immediately asked the deputy general beside him: "What do you think of the Ming army outside the city? If I surrender, they can continue to let me take charge of the army for five years." A camp?"
"Sir, don't worry too much!"
The deputy general said openly: "General Jiangning and the governor of Liangjiang are sending troops to rescue the general! The general heard that the main force of the Ming army went to attack Shanxi. The general army of Datong in Shanxi would rather die than surrender. They are fighting with the 500,000 Ming army. It’s a fight, with him attracting firepower, I don’t think there will be many Ming troops heading south!”
These days, there is a lot of emphasis on reputation.
The Ming army active in the entire Shanxi area only had 13,000 elites and a new battalion of 102,000 people, but it was called 500,000.
As for those who went south to pacify Jiangnan, there were only 50,000 people, and they were said to be 300,000.
When Zhang Enyuan heard this, he seemed to be doing intense ideological work in his heart. After doing it for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Both my general and his father participated in the Guangdong massacre. According to the standards of the Ming army, they will definitely not survive! Even if If you surrender, at most you will avoid sin. Instead of surrendering, why not give it a try!"
"During the Warring States Period in the past, various countries attacked Qi, and the Qi State was almost destroyed! The famous general Tian Dan of Qi State used the fire ox strategy to restore the country! If I, Zhang Enyuan, can defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop and restore the Qing Dynasty, I will definitely leave my name in history and rank higher than Li Jing!"
Zhang Enyuan took a deep breath and said with great ambition: "No matter what happens, I, the general, can fight for the reputation of Zhuge Kongming!"
That's almost it. You not only insulted Tian Dan, you also insulted Zhuge Wuhou!
You definitely can't surrender. If you do, my sincerity in surrender will not be enough!
The deputy general muttered in his heart, and he was already silently preparing himself.
Governor of Liangjiang and General Jiangning?
How many battalions can they have?
As a native of Jiangnan, the deputy general understands very well.
In Jiangnan, there are a total of 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and horses, and one-third of them are ready to rebel at any time. How can we compete with the Ming Dynasty?
The two Qing emperors who were counting on foreign aid, namely Emperor Yulong and Emperor Yangwu, were now fighting fiercely over who was the legitimate one. Where could they find the time to rush to Jiangnan to help?
In the view of the lieutenant, the road to Jiangnan has been blocked.
Either surrender to Geng Jingzhong or be recovered by the Ming Dynasty.
There is no third way out.
Self-reliance?
That's okay, but in the current precarious state, even if we are independent, we won't be stable for long.
Therefore, the deputy general's idea is very simple: betray Zhang Enyuan and capture Xuzhou City!
In the process of these two steps, Zhang Enyuan certainly could not surrender. If he surrendered, wouldn't the benefits of the deputy general be greatly reduced? Therefore, he earnestly persuaded Zhang Enyuan that he must not forget the glory of the Qing Dynasty.
Sure enough, Zhang Enyuan was so convinced that he decided to become Zhuge Liang of the Qing Dynasty.
"My lord, the Ming army tried to attack the city, but our army has repelled the first wave of attacks."
Suddenly, a frontline officer came to report, and Zhang Enyuan nodded casually, and then asked: "Where are General Jiangning and the Governor of Liangjiang?"
"Forehead……"
The officer didn't know what to say, so he could only organize his words in his mind: "General, General Jiangning returned to Zhenjiang from Chuzhou and decided to meet the enemy in Zhenjiang and defend the Yangtze River on Beigu Mountain!"
"ah?"
Zhang Enyuan was stunned.
He never expected that Xuzhou, an important military town, would inexplicably become an isolated city!
But just when Zhang Enyuan was stunned, the deputy general beside him suddenly drew his sword and cut Zhang Enyuan with one strike. Then he stepped forward to restrain Zhang Enyuan, and then raised his voice:
"Why are you still standing there?! The destiny of the heaven belongs to everyone! We are all Han people, why should we work for the Tatars?! He Zhang Enyuan wants to work hard for the Tatars to get promoted and make a fortune. It is not rare for me to have a dragon! Quickly open the city and surrender. , surrendering to the Ming Dynasty is the only way out!"
…
In Zhenjiang, the Five Thousand Eight Banners force was ready to go, and more than 20,000 green battalion soldiers from various places gathered to carry out strategic defense along the Yangtze River.
Echu's strategy is very simple, in a word, it's just one sentence.
When friendly forces are in trouble, they remain motionless; when friendly forces are surrounded, they turn a deaf ear; when friendly forces are victorious, they act like wolves and tigers; when friendly forces are defeated, they retreat in full force.
During the defense along the river, a young general named Ma Guocheng was patrolling the area along the river, full of complaints and not knowing what to do.
"General, why didn't you advance quickly to harass Fengyang?"
Ma Guocheng was full of complaints and couldn't help but talk to other soldiers who were traveling with him: "Xuzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. How many battles have been fought in Xuzhou? Now the general has abandoned Xuzhou and ignored General Zhang... This, this! We, the Qing Kingdom, have already been beaten to death, and now we are still doing this, how can we beat them now?"
Other soldiers also agreed.
Although they didn't understand the meaning, after all, they were eating under Ma Guocheng's hand, so they could only agree like this.
"Head, there's someone on the water!"
Suddenly, a soldier saw and saw a person on the water who seemed to be swimming over. He was immediately shocked and said quickly: "Look at the clothes, it seems to be one of ours!"
Ma Guocheng was horrified when he heard this. He quickly stepped forward and ordered people to lead the man across the river.
The Yangtze River is very fast, but here it is gentle enough for people to cross.
But if you are swimming like this, if the people on the shore don't notice it, you will most likely die in the water!
Ma Guocheng had people fish him out. The man was panting after landing. After a long time of recovery, he shouted loudly: "Xuzhou, Xuzhou has fallen!"
"What?!"
Ma Guocheng was shocked when he heard this. He never expected that this would be the case: "What's going on?"
"Guerilla Sun Delong from the Xuzhou Battalion rebelled, captured General Zhang at the military meeting, and opened the city to surrender!"
The man gasped and explained the current situation in a concise breath: "The Ming army is gathering, and countless new soldiers with their braids cut off are marching towards the Yangtze River. The hundred or so brothers who broke through are already dead! "
"Quick, go and report this news to the general!"
Ma Guocheng did not dare to delay and quickly ordered his soldiers to report the news. At the same time, he felt very sad.
The three prefectures of Xuzhou, Fengyang, and Huai'an north of the Yangtze River surrendered without a fight!
The anti-Qing voice in Yangzhou has always been strong, but now that the Ming army is bordering the border, Yangzhou may not exist, and Chuzhou will most likely be lost!
Oh no!
How did my Qing Dynasty become like this?
Ma Guocheng was worried. As a member of the Eight Banners of the Han Army who grew up in a hutong, he had a deep affection for the Qing Dynasty.
Looking at the brothers reporting quickly, Ma Guocheng was depressed at the side. At this moment, a young man in a long gown who looked like a scholar was looking at Ma Guocheng with a smile, and said to Ma Guocheng: "Why is this general troubled?" ?”
Ma Guocheng glanced at the young boy. The boy shook the braid on the back of his head and looked very confident. Ma Guocheng said: "Of course it's because thieves are rampant in the Ming Dynasty. General Jiangning's wine bag and rice bag are not enough to resist the thieves!"
When Ma Guocheng said this, he felt resentful and seemed to be particularly angry at Jiangning General Echu's dereliction of duty.
But after he finished scolding, Ma Guocheng reacted, looked at the braided boy, and couldn't help but ask: "Little thief, who are you? How dare you make such nonsense here?"
"In Shimodian Wenjing, a native of Fujian, he was smart since he was a child. Hearing about the recruitment of the army, he was recruited by his family to be a grain collector."
Tian Wenjing chuckled, then rolled his eyes and said to Ma Guocheng: "Since General Ma is determined to kill thieves, why not go find his predecessors, General Jiang Ning and General Zu?"
"General Zu became General Jiangning in the 18th year of Shunzhi, and he retired last year. And Echu only became General Jiangning last year, not even a year old! In the army, General Zu naturally has a higher reputation."
Tian Wenjing shook his feather fan lightly and smiled at Ma Guocheng: "If this general has something bright in his heart, why not join General Zu? Now General Zu has led more than a hundred servants and thousands of local warriors to help, and is stationed in Yinshan. If the general goes to ask General Zu to come out, he will naturally be able to persuade General Echu to raise troops!"
Hearing Tian Wenjing's words, Ma Guocheng suddenly understood, and immediately nodded, approvingly saying: "You're a smart boy! I'll go find General Ancestor now!"
After saying that, Ma Guocheng hurried towards Yinshan.
After Ma Guocheng left, Tian Wenjing sighed worriedly.
Although he is young now, he still wants to sacrifice his life and blood for the Qing Dynasty. He wants to take the imperial examination and become a bachelor.
But what he didn't expect was that the Qing Dynasty was about to fall before he started the imperial examination. Why didn't this make Tian Wenjing worried?
He was very worried about the fall of the Qing Dynasty, so he went around in circles and felt that the young general Jiangning, Echu, was unreliable, and the old general Zu Yonglie was more reliable. This is why he persuaded Ma Guocheng to support Zu Yonglie.
Not only Ma Guocheng, but all the middle and low-level generals he had met said this once.
"I hope the Qing Dynasty can enjoy long-term peace and stability."
Tian Wenjing thought deeply sadly.
On the other side, Ma Guocheng rushed towards Yinshan in a hurry, went directly to Xiaozhai, got ahead of many people, and shouted loudly in front of the camp: "General Zu! Ma Guocheng, the deputy recruitment envoy of Jinling Green Camp, asked to see you. Important military intelligence report!"
After hearing Ma Guocheng's voice, the elderly Zu Yonglie in the military tent couldn't help but frowned, and then said: "Let him in."
Soon, Ma Guocheng entered Zu Yonglie's military tent.
Zu Yonglie's military tent was quite simple, but as soon as Ma Guocheng came in, he knelt down and bowed to Zu Yonglie and said: "General Zu! I just received the news that Xuzhou has surrendered! The Ming thieves' new camp has been attacked When we arrived at Chuzhou, some of the new battalions had already arrived along the Yangtze River and began to build ships on a large scale in preparation for crossing the river! The general felt that Jiangning General Echu was not qualified enough to deal with the Ming thieves, so he asked you to come out and take charge of military affairs!"
After hearing the news about Ma Guocheng, Zu Yonglie was shocked. He immediately stood up and said to Ma Guocheng in disbelief: "Is what you said true?"
"It's very true, it's true!"
Ma Guocheng is very sure.
After all, he can be said to be the first general in Zhenjiang City to know about this!
"Okay, okay!"
Zu Yonglie laughed loudly, and his restless heart calmed down instantly, and then the close servants who followed Zu Yonglie also laughed.
Looking at their laughter, Ma Guocheng had no idea what was going on and could only giggle along.
"Send orders to all ministries to be ready to cut off braids at any time!"
Zu Yonglie said loudly: "My ancestors are truly loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty! They have endured humiliation and hardship all these years, and finally today is the day! Immediately order all the troops to follow me into the city!"
"If we cannot capture Zhenjiang, we must first control the dock and welcome the Ming Dynasty king's army to cross the river. Remember! After the great event is successful, cut off your braids to show the public!"
Zu Yonglie's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if he had wanted to do this for a long time.
After hearing Zu Yonglie's words, Ma Guocheng suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ears. The tinnitus made him feel dizzy.
After a long time, a few words came out of his lips:
"Tian Wenjing, shall I draft it?"
Zhenjiang is over.
Not only Zhenjiang, but also Yangzhou was finished.
Not only Yangzhou...Jiangning is also over!
Will it be too late for Suzhou, Changzhou and Songjiang?
Ma Guocheng's face is as gray as death.
As for the young general who came to report the news, Zu Yonglie laughed loudly and immediately ordered his cronies to capture Ma Guocheng. At the same time, Lao Dang was so strong that he directly picked up the spear and said in high spirits: "Go to war!"
…
"Your Majesty, the incense master of Yangzhou Tiandihui and the local gentry Qian family captured the Yamen, occupied Yangzhou, and persuaded more than 2,000 Yangzhou soldiers to rebel."
When Zhu Houcong crossed the Yangtze River, he received this battle report: "In Zhenjiang, Zu Yonglie pretended to invade Zhenjiang and fought fiercely with General Jiangning of the Qing Dynasty. He was defeated in the end. He risked his life to recapture the port and assisted Fengyang Xinjiang. The camp crossed the river, but because it could not withstand the pressure, General Jiangning, who had captured the Qing Dynasty, withdrew the Eight Banners soldiers to Jinling in Jiangning and defended it."
The battle report is very strange.
The day before yesterday, Huai'an was upright and Fengyang was upright.
The day before yesterday, Xuzhou surrendered.
Yesterday, Chuzhou was captured.
Today, Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are in the bag.
The trip to Jiangnan can be said to be smooth, and I can win a city every day.
This feeling made Zhu Houcong feel a little dreamy.
The progress is much faster than outside the customs.
"Jiangnan deserves to be the home of the Ming Dynasty, and there are so many righteous people who fought against the Qing Dynasty!"
Zhu Houcong sighed.
Nanbang is the activity area of Tiandihui. There are many Tiandihui incense masters in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places.
Heavenly Father and Earthly Mother fought against the Qing Dynasty and revived the Ming Dynasty.
The earth vibrates and the mountains rise, and the streams and mountains are beautiful through the ages; the door faces the sea, and the three rivers merge and flow for thousands of years!
"Chen Yonghua."
Zhu Houcong smiled softly. Back then, he came to scout for talents during the Chongzhen Dynasty and named the boss of the Tiandihui.
But he didn't expect that his opponent in the national war would be Kangxi. It was really unexpected that he could directly get a complete version of Chen Yonghua.
It is a pity that the thirteen families of Kuidong were destroyed by the Qing Dynasty in the third year of Kangxi's reign.
Although he was a rogue, Zhu Houcong praised these 'rebels' highly.
During the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhu Houcong also gave Zhu Youjian advice, suggesting that he drive away Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng's group and drive them to places such as the Middle East and Tianzhu. After they established a foothold, they could be directly incorporated.
At this moment, Lu Bing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Chen Yonghua, the chief helmsman of the Tiandihui, contacted Jin Yiwei in Yangzhou and wanted to ask to see your Majesty. I don't know..."
"Tell Mr. Chen to come see me."
Zhu Houcong opened his mouth directly and gave Chen Yonghua a high evaluation: "No, let Mr. Chen wait for a while until I conquer Nanjing, and let Mr. Chen meet me in Nanjing."
"Chen Yonghua was conferred the title of Marquis of Ding'an and made the Commander of the Imperial Guards. All members of the Heaven and Earth Society were incorporated into the Imperial Guards and became my arms!"
After hearing this, Lu Bing was about to go to summons, but he heard Zhu Houcong say again: "By the way, is Xiao Xuanzi here?"
"Your Majesty, Xiao Xuanzi is waiting outside the door." Huang Jin said from the side.
"Let him in."
Under Zhu Houcong's instructions, the pockmarked Xiao Xuanzi entered the palace from outside the palace and paid homage to Zhu Houcong: "My slave, Xiao Xuanzi, pays homage to Your Majesty!"
"Flat body."
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "I heard that Xiao Xuanzi has done a lot of things? Not bad."
"This slave is so frightened, it's all due to the Ming Dynasty King Master Tianwei..."
Before Xiao Xuanzi could bear the humiliation and finished speaking, he heard Zhu Houcong continue: "I want to go south and attack Nanjing. You have to persuade the two armies to surrender first. Can you do it?"
Hearing Zhu Houcong speak like this, Xiao Xuanzi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but in the end he could only nod his head heavily. In order not to be noticed by Zhu Houcong, he even said flatteringly: "This is my slave's honor."
"good."
Zhu Houcong nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Lu Bing: "I said a few days ago, if we capture Yangzhou, what will happen to the Eight Banners in Yangzhou?"
Lu Bing said sonorously and forcefully: "Blood revenge must be avenged with blood!"
"Okay, together with the Eight Banners who have been captured in several battles these days, let's behead them publicly in Yangzhou."
Zhu Houcong said calmly: "Some people said a few days ago that they were castrated together and sent to the palace to be eunuchs. It is really ridiculous. How can cats and dogs be qualified to enter my palace? Only Xiao Xuanzi is qualified. Come into my palace and become a father-in-law!"
After saying that, Zhu Houcong glanced at Xiao Xuanzi: "You think so?"
"What the Emperor said is that slaves are extremely honored. Those...those Eight Banners disciples, they, they are not qualified at all."
Xiao Xuanzi's heart was bleeding, his smile was very forced, and even his words were a little awkward, but it was still like this.
Zhu Houcong frowned.
The training was not thorough?
"Huang Jin, your method of training people is nothing more than this... Let the Governor of Dongchang come over. I hope to see a submissive little Xuanzi, not a little Xuanzi whose words and deeds are inconsistent."
Zhu Houcong yawned: "Remember, don't lose your appearance...you will have to call the door in Nanjing later."
"Okay, let's do it. Not a single one of Yangzhou's Eight Banners will be left behind. Zhao Yong has done a good job. After Jiangnan is pacified, rewards will be unified and no marquis will be able to escape."
Zhu Houcong said: "As for Zu Yonglie, I will pardon his sins and let him return to his hometown to take care of himself."
"Your Majesty, isn't this too cheap..."
Before Lu Bing finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Houcong: "I'm talking about my hometown. Let him go back to Liaodong."
"You can't let him take away a single piece of silver, it's all my money."
