It is a joy to be captured, but there is actually a huge element of surprise.
To put it bluntly, his character was too bad, evil deeds were punished, and he was punished by God. Therefore, when bad luck reached his home, he was caught by Zhuge Military Advisor who was reaching the peak of his life.
When he was captured, the three armies under him had not given up. Among them, the left and middle armies commanded by Shang Zhijie and Shang Congzhi fought vigorously with Lin Ahu and Zhao Hongkui of the Ming army. Although they were all It’s a tough fight, but it looks like I can persevere.
If Military Advisor Zhuge hadn't led his men to escort Shang Kexi out of Longtou Pass to persuade them to surrender, the Shang Family Army's center and left armies would have been able to hold on for at least a few more hours before retreating from Longtou Mountain.
And even if they were defeated, they would not be completely wiped out... After all, Zhu Heji's army was still in its infancy. It may not be a problem to let them hold their position to block the enemy, but it would be a big problem to ask them to fight mobile warfare with Monk Kexi's army. There might even be a wave of counter-attacks from Shang Kexi!
But when Military Advisor Zhuge appeared on the Longtoushan battlefield with Shang Kexi in custody, the battle immediately turned one-sided... The balance of victory immediately fell to the Ming army.
Shang Kexi has become a prisoner, and the people below are still heartbroken?
The Qing troops on the Longtoushan battlefield either surrendered or fled. The six or seven thousand Shang family soldiers who were still fighting to the death were defeated in the blink of an eye.
Shang Congzhi, who was commanding the troops fighting at Longtou Mountain Pass, was taking the lead when he suddenly saw Shang Kexi who was being held captive by Wu Hua Da. At the same time, thousands of Ming army infantry came out of Longtou Mountain Pass. The Shang family soldiers around him immediately dispersed, and he had no idea. After a moment's hesitation, he was surrounded by the Ming army. So he could only cry loudly and ask to be a prisoner to serve Shang Kexi... He felt that he was an adopted son and not a real Shang family member, so he was not on the "blacklist" to be killed and could surrender with confidence.
Shang Zhijie is Shang Kexi's biological son, and there is no way to survive if he surrenders. So after learning that Ama Shangkexi had been ambushed in Longtou Mountain and had been captured by Zhuge Military Advisor, he immediately abandoned the army with a few of his cronies and went into the forest to the north of the battlefield - to the north of Longtou Mountain and Matou Mountain. It is a large stretch of hills with dense vegetation, complex terrain, and sparsely populated areas. Although it is not suitable for large armies to enter and exit, but once Shang Zhijie got in with a few personal followers, the pursuers of Jinyi's personal army really couldn't do anything to them.
Shang Zhixiao's luck was a little worse... maybe a lot worse.
He was regarded as Shang Kexi by Zhu Hezhu, and he was beaten like crazy. Moreover, Shang Zhijie is located far away from the mountains to the north of Longtou Mountain and Matou Mountain, so it is impossible to run through. Zhu Heji's pursuit was too fierce, and five to six thousand people followed him like crazy. They shouted "saint, sage" and chased Shang Zhixiao's people and killed them until they were defeated.
Shang Zhixiao, who was running away in the dark, didn't care about the direction of his escape. It didn't matter where he ran!
As a result, in the early morning of May 2nd, he was forced to the bank of the Pearl River. He wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river but was afraid of the cold water. He wanted to use a knife to wipe his neck but was afraid of the pain. In the end, he had no choice but to let a soldier with scars on his head and face do it. The fierce general led his men to capture him alive.
When he was escorted in front of Zhu Heji by the tiger general Ling Zongjun of Jinyi's army, Zhu Heji realized that he was chasing the wrong person!
Shang Kexi can't be that young! Shang Kexi was born in the 32nd year of Wanli. He is almost seventy this year, while Shang Zhixiao is only in his thirties!
After some questioning and finding out Shang Zhixiao's identity, Zhu Heji, who was a little disappointed, could only escort Shang Zhixiao back to the Longtoushan battlefield.
When he arrived at Longtou Mountain Pass at noon that day, he heard the good news that Zhuge's military advisor had been captured alive from the officers and soldiers of the Jinyi soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield.
At that moment, Zhu Heke was so happy that he even ignored Shang Zhixiao and a lot of prisoners captured on the banks of the Pearl River. He handed them all over to his subordinates. He took only twenty or thirty bearded scholars and flew to the Nanhai Temple. .
He had to take a good look at Shang Kexi, a butcher whose hands were stained with the blood of the Guangdong people!
When Zhu Heji came to the Nanhai Temple excitedly, Shang Kexi, Jin Guang, and Shang Congzhi were crying in each other's arms in a newly made wooden cage!
Military Advisor Zhuge waved his goose-feather fan and advised him kindly: "Don't cry, don't cry anymore... A man will not shed tears if he bleeds, and he will definitely bleed! It's so gratifying, you are Qing Yaoping." King Nan is the most loyal slave of Demon Head Xuan Ye. Xuan Ye has a deep relationship with you as master and slave and will not ignore you. As long as Xuan Ye is willing to agree to our request, we will let you go!"
What? put? How can it be?
Zhu Heji became anxious when he heard this. What was Zhuge's military advisor doing? How can Shang Kexi let it go? He has millions of enemies in Guangdong!
However, he didn't rush in and "slap Zhuge's military advisor" in the face. Instead, he coughed outside the door.
Zhuge Military Advisor heard the voice of Zhu Heji, and quickly turned around and left the house. When he went outside, he saw Zhu Heji, whose hair, beard and clothes were still wet, and his face was covered with rain and sweat. He quickly asked: "Master, why are you coughing?" Are you feeling cold? Go take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, and drink some ginger tea to dispel the cold."
The hot water for bathing, clean clothes, and ginger tea to dispel the cold have been prepared long ago. It is not Zhu Heji's treatment alone, but everyone in the army has a share.
This is the benefit of the "people's army"!
Because Zhu Heji's army has the support of most of the people in Guangzhou, fighting under the walls of Guangzhou is like fighting at home. You can get almost everything you want! And the people don’t want the money - killing Shang Kexi’s family is just revenge for the people! Moreover, Zhu Heji is a saint who can "living the dead, flesh and bones", and with the help of Zhuge Liang's descendants, he will definitely be able to become emperor in the future...
And the Nanhai Temple occupied by Zhu Heji is indeed a treasure. Because this place needs to entertain the sacrificial officials sent by the imperial court, Shang Kexi, who has done a lot of bad things, sometimes comes here to worship the gods. Therefore, this temple occupies a large area, has many houses, and there is also a pleasant courtyard next to it. With the temple and its annex, more than 10,000 people can fit in even if they squeeze in.
There are official roads and docks near the temple, making it extremely convenient to transfer supplies.
Therefore, the Ming troops who returned to the temple could receive good care. The wounded and sick could also receive timely treatment. If an infectious disease was discovered, they could be isolated in time.
However, Zhu Heji was as strong as an ox in this life. He could still bear the cold and fatigue without getting sick at all. So when he saw Zhuge's military advisor coming out, his cough was cured immediately.
"Thank you, Military Advisor, for your concern." Zhu Heji was polite to Military Advisor Zhuge first, and then pointed to the room, "Is Shang Kexi in there?"
Military Advisor Zhuge smiled and nodded, "Thanks to you, saint, I was captured alive!"
"Haha," Zhu Heji raised his thumb, "The military advisor is truly a god!"
Military Advisor Zhuge was a little embarrassed to be praised by Zhu Heji, and even said "lucky" twice.
Zhu Heji did not continue to praise Zhuge's military advisor. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "Military advisor, how do you plan to deal with Shang Kexi?"
Military Advisor Zhuge quickly waved his hands and said, "Where did you come from, Master Shizi? Is Shang Kexi something that I can handle? I was just trying to trick the old thief, trying to get his autographed letter to embarrass the little thief Xuan Ye!"
"Why are you in trouble?" Zhu Heji asked with interest.
"Exchange Shang Kexi for Wu Yingxiong!" Military Advisor Zhuge said with a smile, "Master, do you think Xuan Ye is willing to exchange?"
"Definitely not!" Zhu Heji said with a smile, "Wu Yingxiong is coming to Guangzhou, so Wu Sangui can't follow him to fight against the Qing Dynasty? Can Xuan Ye's emperor still sit down?"
Military Advisor Zhuge smiled and said: "If Xuan Ye doesn't change, then Shang Kexi will die miserably... Such a loyal slave, Xuan Ye refuses to rescue him, how can a traitor in the world be so unpopular? And Wu Sangui should know this too." What kind of person is he in Xuan Ye's mind!"
"Then you are willing to write such a letter?" Zhu Heji was a little doubtful.
Military Advisor Zhuge smiled and said: "Don't worry, Prince, we have masters from Dongchang in our army, and they have prepared ten tortures!"
