Chapter Thirteen: Zhou Xiuying Persuades Her Father to Rebel

When Li Chunfa saw that the forwards had successfully entered the city, he proudly sent an order: "Go quickly and report to His Highness the King of Han: On September 1, our army has captured Kunshan County! More than 2,000 Qing troops in the city have been wiped out."

"The whole army marches into the city!"



Zhang Yuliang was covered in blood, and it felt like Shorthair couldn't kill them all. They surrounded him one after another and hacked to death the enemies who wanted to kill him again. Zhang Yuliang supported himself with a knife and watched Shorthair retreat.

A row of musketeers surrounded them, laughed, blood flowed from their mouths, and pointed knives at them unconvinced. Unexpectedly, they couldn't even hold the knives, and they fell down with the knives.

Li Yunzhong found that there were blood stains in many places from the city gate to the county government gate. He asked Li Chunfa who was following him, "It seems that the Qing army is resisting very resolutely. How many casualties have our troops suffered?"

Li Chunfa had already counted the casualties and immediately said: "Our Second Division had 359 casualties, of which 240 were killed and 119 were injured. Anyway, there were 339 Xiangyong and 58 casualties. Among them, Qing Yao Zhang Yuliang was the most fierce, leading

100 people guarded the county government office, killing and wounding more than 80 people in one battalion. In the end, he was captured by the musketeers. Now he is in prison. Does Your Highness want to see him?" After that, he added: "But that guy is fierce and tight.

, kept shouting in the prison, and the general ordered someone to break his jaw because he thought the words he shouted were too unpleasant."

Li Yunzhong was really not interested in this kind of stubborn resistance faction, so he said casually: "Since you don't want to surrender, just kill them."

"Is there any news about the Qing army in Qingpu County? Is the man named Zhou Lichun willing to rebel? Our army will attack Qingpu County and Jiading County tomorrow. If he hasn't decided yet, I'm afraid he will surrender to the Qing army.

Go aside." Li Yunzhong asked Zhao Laoqi who was following behind.

Zhao Laoqi really didn't expect that Kunshan County would be captured so quickly. If he had known it, he would have rushed to Jiading in person. Qingpu County contacted them. It is better than not knowing anything now. When Li Yunzhong asked, he said in panic:

"The general is incompetent. So far, there has been no news from Jiading and Qingpu counties. But calculating the time, news can be sent within these two hours."

Li Yunzhong turned his head and glanced at Zhao Laoqi, "This matter must be confirmed before our army attacks the city, so as not to hurt innocent people. I, the big man, still have a close relationship with the Tiandihui. I have Luo Dayou and Su Sanniang in the front.

With Jiao Liang, He Lu and others as examples, I believe Liu Lichuan and others will come to join us."

Zhao Laoqi said: "The general will understand. I will put on makeup and sneak into Shanghai tomorrow and contact Liu Lichuan and the others in person."

Qingpu County

Zhou Xiuying looked at her father who was still hesitating and persuaded: "Dad, what time is it now and you are still hesitating? When His Highness the King of Han captures Shanghai, what will happen to us?"

Listening to his daughter's complaints, Zhou Lichun said helplessly: "Daughter, why don't you understand rebellion! This is related to the life and death of thousands of people. If the uprising fails, our Tiandihui in Jiading will be uprooted by the Qing army."

I don’t know how many people’s heads will fall to the ground by then.”

"Rebellion is inherently risky. In the past few years, the imperial court has repeatedly raised taxes and taken away the food we have worked so hard to harvest. Some people have long been dissatisfied. As long as you show your strength, the Qing army in the city can be defeated without His Highness the King of Han sending troops.

Drive away, besides, now the Han Dynasty has conquered the city and is invincible. The army of the imperial court has been defeated again and again. If this continues, in a few years the world will not know who belongs to it! Now we take the exam for the King of Han as early as possible, and we can also let the brothers in the meeting find a career.

." Zhou Xiuying analyzed

When Zhou Lichun heard his daughter's analysis, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "I think it's better to call all the leaders over and discuss it. It's up to them to decide whether to object or not."

Zhou Xiuying smiled proudly, opened the door and said: "Uncles, please come in, my father has agreed to start an uprising."

Zhou Lichun looked at the brothers filing in and asked doubtfully: "Do you really agree to start an uprising? This is a beheading business. Once you do it, you are not allowed to regret it."

"Brother Zhou, just lead us to rebel against him. I have long been dissatisfied with Yu Longguang's arrogance and has repeatedly made things difficult for us."

"Yes, Brother Zhou, now that the King of Han has arrived in Suzhou in person, isn't this an opportunity for us to make meritorious deeds!"

"I, Lao Wan, just obey Brother Zhou. I won't listen to anyone else's words."

………………

Zhou Lichun was also said to have an angry expression and said: "The imperial court is unkind, so don't blame us for being unjust and rebelling against his mother."

There was a knock on the door. Everyone immediately fell silent and looked at each other. Everyone found their own weapons and stood in a row holding their breath. Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhou Xiuying said to the door: "Come in!"

"Ah, it hurts so much... ah... it's me, Xiaobai... stop fighting, I'm one of my own."

Zhou Xiuying was attentive and heard the voice of Qin Xiaobai who was on guard outside. She quickly stopped everyone and said, "It's Qin Xiaobai, not a spy! Don't fight, it's one of our own."

Zhou Lichun took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Qin Xiaobai. Looking at Qin Xiaobai who was still trembling in the corner, he laughed and cursed: "You brat, I didn't even give the announcement when I came in. I thought it was the Qing soldiers who came to arrest us!"

Qin Xiaobai stood up with a grin on his face and said aggrievedly: "I knocked on the door, several times! Why did you hit me as soon as I came in? What did I do wrong?"

Zhou Xiuying consoled her: "We recognized the wrong person. What can happen to you? Didn't I ask you to keep a lookout outside?"

Regardless of his injuries, Qin Xiaobai said excitedly: "Brothers, I heard that Kunshan County was captured by the King of Han. There were several defeated soldiers who escaped from Kunshan at the door just now. They said it themselves."

Zhou Lichun said in surprise: "Really? We captured it in less than a day. I heard that Zhang Yuliang is very good at fighting. It's hard to live up to his reputation!"

Zhou Xiuying smiled happily and retorted: "Doesn't this prove that the King of Han's army is invincible? As long as we follow His Highness the King of Han, we will definitely be the founding heroes in the future."

"You little yandere is in love with your youth, look at how excited you are when you mention the King of Han." Lao Wan teased.

Zhou Xiuying put her hands on her hips and said, "I just like His Highness the King of Han. What's wrong? No?"

Zhou Lichun looked at his daughter helplessly and said, "Look at what you can do! I should have found someone to marry you to. Who is His Highness the King of Han? He can fall in love with you, a peasant girl."

Zhou Xiuying also felt that as the King of Han, she must be surrounded by many beauties, and they might not necessarily fall in love with her, so she refused to admit defeat and said: "Then I will also find a hero like the King of Han to marry."

Zhou Lichun signaled Qin Xiaobai to continue to show off, and said: "Since Kunshan has been captured by the King of Han, without further delay, we will start an attack tonight. There are less than a thousand defenders in the city, but our Tiandihui has more than 3,000 people."

!We will definitely be able to drive out the Qing army before dawn."

When everyone heard about the incident tonight, no one objected. A man dressed like a farmer said, "Since it is night, we can set fire to pretend to be the Han army entering the city. The Qing army has long been frightened and will not dare to fight and escape."

Go to the city."

Zhou Lichun said: "Okay, let's do it this way. Xiuying, you rush to Kunshan after dawn and ask the King of Han to send troops to take over, in case the Qing army counterattacks in the direction of Jiaxing and we can't resist it."
