"This is a person who has been under fire for a day. He is scared. He hopes to get a good sale from us." Xing Chaoxi took the towel handed by the guard and rubbed his face to wake himself up.
The guard said: "Otherwise, if we arrange for the people below to meet him, it is simply because we see that Gaizhou City cannot be defended and want to come and join us."
"Since people want to see me, then meet me. It's not a bad thing to capture Gaizhou City earlier." Xing Chaoxi stood up from the bed and put the towel aside.
After leaving the resting tent, the guards led the way to a tent near the camp gate.
The guards came to the tent door first and opened the curtain of the tent for Xing Chaoxi.
Walking into the tent, Xing Chaoxi immediately noticed a thin man sitting in the middle of the tent.
"Shizheng."
"Shizheng."
Others waiting in the camp greeted Xing Chaoxi one after another.
Xing Chaoxi nodded and responded to them one by one.
At this time, the thin man sitting on a bench quickly stood up and looked nervously at Xing Chaoxi who walked in from outside.
"Don't you want to see our teacher? This is it." The person with the tiger flag on the side introduced the person to the thin man.
Hearing this, the thin man hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Little Chang Si, kowtow to Master Shizheng."
"Get up. The Tiger Flag doesn't have as many rules of kowtow and salute as there are in the Tatars." explain."
Chang Si looked at Xing Chaoxi nervously and slowly sat back on the bench where he had been sitting before. However, he did not dare to sit firmly and just leaned to the side.
Naturally, his little moves could not be hidden from the eyes of Xing Chaoxi and other people in the camp.
But I have seen this kind of thing so many times that no one said anything.
Xing Chaoxi looked at him and asked: "Did you escape from Gaizhou City? Did you do it yourself? Or did someone else send you here?"
Chang Si slipped off the stool, knelt on the ground again, and said, "The younger one escaped on his own, no, he was sent here by our President Qian."
Although the words were a bit upside down, Xing Chaoxi could still hear what he wanted to express.
Xing Chao said happily: "Does your Mr. Qian have anything to say for you to bring over?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Chang Si said quickly, "Our Qianzong is the guard of Guang'en Gate. He is willing to surrender and open Guang'en Gate to let you enter the city and eliminate the Tatars in the city."
Xing Chaoxi was not surprised when he heard this.
Since the other party sent people to their Tiger Flag camp, they naturally planned to open the city gate and let the Tiger Flag army enter the city.
"What are your conditions, President Qian?" Xing Chaoxi asked.
Hearing this, Chang Si hurriedly said: "There are no conditions, no conditions at all. We, Mr. Qian, just feel that we are Han people and are not willing to sacrifice our lives for the Tatars anymore."
Xing Chaoxi smiled when he heard this.
Many people in the camp had unabashed ridicule on their faces.
"If you, Mr. Qian, want to change your mind, you can, but are you sure that you, Mr. Qian, don't have any other conditions?" Xing Chaoxi asked again.
Chang Si opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I may not mention any conditions, Mr. Shizheng, but you can be assured, Mr. Qian, we really don't have any conditions, so what are the conditions?" If so, I only hope that after the Tiger Character Banner captures Gaizhou City, they can let the Han people like us, the Han Army Banner, go."
Xing Chaoxi looked at Chang Si.
After a long time, he said: "That Mr. Qian of yours is a very smart man. I may not be able to agree to any other conditions, but I can still make the decision to spare your life."
"Please Master Shizheng, please have mercy on us Han soldiers who were forced to submit to the Tatars." Chang Si knocked his head to the ground.
Xing Chaoxi said: "Yes, I agree. As long as you open Guang'en Gate and let the tiger-character flag army enter the city, I can guarantee that as long as the Han soldiers are willing to surrender, I can spare their lives."
"Young man, thank you, Master Shizheng." Chang Si kowtowed again.
Xing Chaoxi said: "Okay, get up. The ground is quite cold. You should also go back and talk to your boss Qian and agree on a time to start the incident."
"Our President Qian said that it can be done at any time. It would be best if it is tonight." Chang Si, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Xing Chaoxi nervously, fearing that Xing Chaoxi would misunderstand something.
Xing Chaoxi was stunned when he heard this and frowned.
He said: "You are going to start an uprising tonight? Is it too late?"
"There's time, there's time." Chang Si said hurriedly, "Gaizhou City received news that Shengjing sent reinforcements, so we, President Qian, wanted to start the attack earlier and not give the Tatar reinforcements a chance to support Gaizhou City."
After hearing this, Xing Chaoxi looked thoughtful.
The other party was urging him so urgently, so he needed to consider whether there was any trap here.
Based on the current situation in Gaizhou City, as long as the Tiger Character Banner continued its bombardment, Gaizhou City would be captured sooner or later, but he wondered whether he should take the risk and capture Gaizhou City a few days in advance.
Chang Si, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Xing Chaoxi nervously.
"If you act tonight, how will you contact people in the city?" Xing Chaoxi asked.
Chang Si hurriedly replied: "Before I came here, our President Qian told me that if we take action tonight, I can bring some soldiers from your army back to Guang'enmen. We, President Qian, are willing to fully cooperate."
"Your boss Qian is quite thoughtful," Xing Chaoxi said.
Chang Si replied: "After a day of shelling during the day, many people died. Han soldiers like Xiao Xiao are scared. One more day will be torture."
"Take him down to rest first." Xing Chaoxi turned to order a soldier captain next to him.
The captain of the soldiers who was called walked over and lifted Chang Si up from the ground.
Chang Si followed the other party honestly and left the camp.
Xing Chaoxi said to his guards: "Find the division chief of staff and several battalion commanders."
"Yes." The guard turned and ran away.
At this time, a person in the camp said: "Shizheng, do you really want to agree to their action tonight?"
"What? You think it's not feasible?" Xing Chaoxi asked.
The other party hesitated for a moment and said: "If the other party sincerely surrenders, it would be a good thing to capture Guang'en Gate tonight, but the other party is urging us so urgently that my subordinates are worried that it is a trap."
"Your worries are reasonable, but it may not be a trap. The other party really wants to surrender." Xing Chaoxi said.
The other party said: "With the current situation, we can take our time. It will be a matter of time to capture Gaizhou City. There is no need to take risks."
"Under normal circumstances, your choice is fine, but have you thought about the Qing reinforcements coming from Shengjing?" Xing Chaoxi said, "Once the reinforcements arrived before Gaizhou City, we failed to capture Gaizhou City. We are about to be attacked by the Qing army in Gaizhou City and the Qing army coming for reinforcements. Have you thought about this problem?"
