On the city wall, He Chun lay on the side with blood on his face, his arm was broken by a cannon. He endured the pain and watched the Qing soldiers guarding the city, and kept spitting out blood.

General Pan An kept looking back at Hechun, hoping that he could hold on for a while, not because he cared about Hechun. The reason why the Qing army on the city wall could persist until now was because Hechun made a promise that each person would receive ten taels of silver for each person to kill the enemy, and each person would receive fifty taels of silver for each person to defend the city wall. If Hechun died, the generals would not have so much silver for cashing out.

"The imperial envoy is dead!"

Someone shouted, and all the Qing soldiers immediately broke out and rushed to the city, and boxes of white silver were placed at the city gate.

"It's not silver below, it's bricks. The officials deceived us!" A group of Qing soldiers looked at the only layer above with silver, and suddenly became angry.

"The officials have run away! Brothers have all surrendered!"

"Yes, open the city gates and we surrender, it is not worth it to work for them!"

...

When Huang Wei heard that Quanzhou had been captured, he asked in surprise: "It was only one day before Quanzhou was captured. When Jiang Yuan's brother besieged for half a month, he returned the Qing army to defeat him. Quanzhou has no danger to defend in Xiamen. What should I do?"

Wu Hong advised: "The opportunity has been lost. If we sent troops to attack Kinmen and attack Taiwan, we still have a way out. Now we are surrounded on three sides and we have no navy troops. It is better for us to surrender to Zuo Zongtang, which is a way out."

Huang Wei was moved and looked at Jiang Yuan's wife. She was the most prestigious here. If she did not agree to surrender, things would be difficult.

"What does Jiang Yuanshao think the military advisor said?"

Mrs. Jiang Yuan said: "As long as you do not surrender to the Qing army, let the marshal give his orders."

Huang Wei sighed inwardly and said to Wu Hong: "Then please let Brother Wu go there again to see what official position Zuo Zongtang can give us, and we must give the benefits that the brothers can win!"

Wu Hong said excitedly: "Don't worry, Marshal, I will do my best."

After thinking for a while, Wu Hong hesitated: "It's better to change the name of the marshal. The Huang throne is homophoned with the throne. I'm afraid it will violate the taboo of the King of Han."

Huang Wei nodded in a hurry and said, "Brother Wu is saying very well. Fortunately, my brother reminds you, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. I will change my name to Huang...wei, the mighty power."

When Zuo Zongtang heard that Wu Hong was asking for a meeting, he smiled at his left and right and said, "This Wu Hong came in time. We just captured the city in Fuzhou last time, and he arrived, and the same is true for Quanzhou."

Listening to the general's joke, Li Xuan said: "This shows that they are afraid of our army. They are just a group of rioters with no combat experience. The general has already inquired. Their commander Huang Demei is just a villain who is afraid of life and death, jealous of talented people, and seeks pleasure. The general is not at ease. Even if they surrender in Xiamen, if they dare to give us conditions, the general will immediately send troops to destroy their so-called Ming Dynasty!"

"Bring Wu Hong up, the general has something to ask!" Li Chunfa, the commander of the First Army, shouted to the guards outside the door.

Wu Hong came here just to surrender, so he didn't dare to be more reserved, so he immediately knelt down to Zuo Zongtang, "The little Wu Hong pays homage to the general! The general won every battle, and the Qing army was thrown away, and the imperial envoy and Chun fled in a panic. The young man admired him!"

Li Xuan had a proud look on his face and said to Wu Hong: "Hechun has been shot dead by our army!"

Wu Hong said in surprise: "The four provinces in Hechun are now killed by the general, which is more than just destroying the prestige of the Qing army! The small representative of the Ming army came to surrender to the general, please accept it."

Zuo Zongtang said seriously: "You commander has figured it out clearly? What conditions are put forward this time?"

Wu Hong replied: "I dare not. Huang Demei offended the Grand Marshal and has been captured by us. Now the Ming army is led by Marshal Huang Wei. Brother Huang Wei has always admired the King of Han and sent villains to report!"

Li Xuan asked, "Then what are the conditions for you Huang Wei? Let's hear it."

Seeing that the generals in the hall showed mocking expressions, Wu Hong said loudly: "Brother Huang Wei surrendered for the people of Xiamen, not for the sake of glory and wealth. As long as the marshal does not kill the rebel army, we are willing to serve the marshal!"

Zuo Zongtang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "It is rare that Huang Wei is very wise. Since he has accepted the adaptation of our army, you go back and tell him that if we bring the army to Quanzhou, our army does not want children, women, and adult men do not want people who smoke smoke. The rest can voluntarily join our army!"

Wu Hong remembered Jiang Yuan's wife and said clearly: "It's so good for the marshal to learn that our army's supervisor, Jiang Yuan's wife, is a heroine, who is no less brave than a man, is more courageous and has won the morale of the army in the Ming Dynasty. Please take it in!"

Zuo Zongtang asked, "But Jiang Yuan's first wife? I heard that Jiang Yuan, the Jiang Fa brothers took the lead in raising the flag to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Unfortunately, the whole family was killed by the Qing army, leaving only one widow to escape."

Wu Hong hurriedly replied: "It's Jiang Yuan's wife, I want to thank the Marshal for avenging Brother Jiang Yuan."

"Report... Nanjing Red Head urgently reported!" A messenger hurriedly presented it to Zuo Zongtang with a red-shell document.

Li Chunfa, Li Shiqi, Yang Kailin, Li Xuan and other generals all showed surprise. They had only seen white documents and had never seen urgent red-headed documents. They all looked at Zuo Zongtang and were waiting for explanation.

"Haha... The King of Han has already proclaimed himself emperor on June 29th, and his country's name was 'Han', and his year name was 'Dewu'. Now it is August 3rd of the first year of Dewu. The King of Han... is the emperor who ordered us to conquer Fujian and attack Guangdong immediately after we captured Fujian." Zuo Zongtang was attracted by the previous news and only briefly led the way behind him.

Li Chunfa and others were all ecstatic, and the whole house was filled with joyful laughter, and they all planned to make more contributions and to obtain a title when the emperor rewarded the meritorious officials.

Zuo Zongtang put down the document and said to Li Xuan: "The emperor has ordered the 11th Army to be formed as the core of the "Xuan" camp, appoint Li Xuan as the commander, I also serve as the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, Li Shiqi as the Minister of Civil Affairs of Fujian, Yang Kailin as the governor of Fuzhou, Li Chunfa’s first army, Lin Fengxiang’s eighth army, and Li Kaifang’s ninth army all advanced north and returned to Nanjing to repair!"

Li Xuan put down the joy of becoming the commander in his heart and analyzed: "In this way, our army has only the newly formed 11th Army, and Li Shixian's Fifth Army, and I'm afraid it's impossible to attack Guangzhou!"

Wu Hong took the opportunity to express his merits: "Don't worry, my Tiandihui is the most powerful in Guangdong. As long as the villain goes to Guangdong and gathers 100,000 troops for the adults!"

Zuo Zongtang said in surprise: "The Guangdong Association has such strength! Since this is the case, I will appoint you as our special envoy to Guangdong to support our army. Whenever I capture Guangdong, the meritorious personnel will be rewarded."
