Chapter 171 Shang Zhixin, your father is dying
After understanding the thoughts of the Military Advisor Zhuge, Zhu Heying could finally take a hot bath, change into clean clothes, eat a bowl of hot wonton noodles, and take a nap for a while. It was not until the evening of the second day of the fifth month that he saw Shang Kexi, who had already been released from the cage in the back hall of the Nanhai Temple, surrounded by a group of "bearded scholars" who were also clean.
Shang Kexi has been washed clean and has changed into clean prison uniforms, but she still looks very depressed. There is no expression on her face as a handsome traitor. It seems that she has almost coaxed Mr. Zhuge.
His adopted son Shang Congzhi and military advisor Jin Guang also washed them, changed his clothes, and stayed with Shang Kexi.
The three of them were kneeling in the hall, and there were several tall "bearded scholars" standing behind them. They all pressed the hilt of their swords with their hands, staring at the three of them with wide eyes, as if they were waiting for Zhu Hezang to order the killing!
Military advisors Zhuge, Lin Ahu, Su Zhanshan, Zhao Hongkui and others also cleaned up and appeared in the hall in full spirit. Seeing Zhu Heying come in, they all stood up to salute him.
"Sit, sit, sit!"
Zhu Heying smiled and greeted Zhuge Military Advisor, Lin Ahu and others, while sitting down in a Grand Master chair with a big sword.
He did not immediately ask Shang Kexi, but asked Zhuge Military Advisor: "Military advisor, what is the situation? How many casualties were there in each town? How many new patients were added? Are there anyone taking care of the injured and sick?"
Zhuge Military Advisor smiled and said, "Criminal, the troops in each town have been cleaned up and returned to the Sea God Temple. We are now resting... We have won a great victory in this battle! The captives alone have been captured, and the number of beheadings exceeds 4,000! More than 800 war horses were seized, and more armor and equipment were obtained. The specific number is still counting."
Six thousand plus four thousand is ten thousand!
Shang Kexi's vassal flag army and green camp had a total book count of 9,000, although the team was expanded to more than 20,000 by recruiting Ding Yu, veterans and flag slaves.
However, after this battle, the basic armed forces of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion were also completed.
Because in addition to being captured and beheaded, there will be a large number of escaped wounded and sick people... They marched in the heavy rain and started fighting in the rain. These people were actually already suffering from wind and cold, but they had not yet developed the disease, so they could fight. After the battle, soldiers and generals with slightly worse physical resistance would get sick. Although it was just a minor illness like a cold, if they were not well cared for, they would be fatal in the end.
Therefore, among the defeated and fleeing soldiers of the Shang family, the Shang family who could finally return to Guishan, Huizhou, alive, was only two or three thousand.
The reactionary rule of the Shang family in Guangdong is almost over!
As he spoke, Zhu Hetong's facial expression suddenly became extremely solemn. "As for our losses, there are as many as 984 heroes who have made righteousness in Chengren, more than a thousand injured, and more than 600 people have suffered from wind and cold due to the rain. Among them, the heroes who have made righteousness in Chengren have been restrained with coffins, and the injured and sick have arranged special people to take care of them."
This big stall restrains the dead and takes care of the injuries and illnesses. Mr. Guo and Daboling are responsible for the work of guarding the dead. They also recruited a group of elderly people from the townships of Xiangshan, Shunde, Nanhai and other counties that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty to help. Although these clan forces in Guangdong pose a threat to the royal power, these forces are indeed very useful when used by the king!
Not to mention anything else, the clan leader and clan elder who manage hundreds or thousands of clans on a daily basis are incomparable to those scholars who only know how to study hard - although the clan is small, it has all the internal organs!
To manage a clan well, you must be able to grasp armed forces, promote production, develop infrastructure, run schools, engage in internal affairs, and sometimes you have to command clan members to fight, so everyone is full of talents!
Moreover, these patriarchs and clan elders are all a hero and three gangs. They have a group of people under their command and can mobilize a lot of supplies, with their assistance.
Zhu Hezang's army can be said to be "very comfortable in war" and there is no big worries.
Zhu Hezang nodded and said, "All heroes who sacrificed their country and became loyal will enter the Martyrs' Temple in the future. Their families should be given preferential treatment. If they have children, they will be admitted to the Youth Hall for good education... The sons of martyrs must be well cultivated. The world we have won is also their share!"
When Zhu Heying talked about the cultivation of orphans of martyrs, Shang Kexi sighed... because he seemed to be the son and younger brother of the Ming martyr, but now he is going to be a martyr of the Qing Dynasty!
"Shang Kexi!" Zhu Hezhi had already ordered the wounded and sick and the orphans of the martyrs at this time, and began to speak in the monk Kexi, "Did you agree to write a letter to Xuanye and ask for survival?"
"Hmph!" Shang Kexi snorted, "You know that the Qing emperor cannot be deceived, why do you have to do these useless efforts? You are still counting on Wu Sangui to raise an army in Yunnan, right? Haha, you are delusional!
Although Wu Sangui is self-respecting, his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty is no less than that of me... The pseudo-emperor of Yongli was killed by Wu Sangui. You are really dreaming if you expect him to raise an army!"
Zhu Heying smiled and said, "That means, you have agreed to write a letter? This letter is delivered, and the news that Xuanye refused is coming, it will take at least three months, right? It's quite a good deal to live for three more months by writing a letter, right?"
In fact, Zhu Heying didn't expect to force Wu Sangui to rebel with such a divisive trick... He just wanted to give Emperor Kangxi a difficult problem and to spread the news of Shang Kexi's defeat and captured.
At the same time, it is not to kill Shang Kexi immediately, but to give Shang Zhixin and others some fantasies in Guangzhou City... Only when people have fantasies can life be full of hope!
Shang Kexi sighed and nodded, "I believe, I'll just write it!"
Old Traitor Shang is also a fantasy person. He used to fantasize that the Qing Dynasty's master Ennuzhong, but now he fantasizes that the Qing Dynasty's heavenly soldiers could fight to Guangzhou before Zhu Hetong killed him.
Zhu Hezang looked at the Jinguang monk Congzhi again. Shang Congzhi was not old and had a cruel look on his face. It would be better to keep the monk Kexi to go to the eighteen levels of hell together!
That golden light looks like a twilight year, and it will be long before long!
So Zhu Hezang pointed to Jin Guang and said, "After Shang Kexi's letter is written, the old man will send it to Guangzhou and hand it over to Shang Zhixin!"
......
At the same time, Altan Gong Shangzhixin in Guangzhou City actually missed his unfilial father!
This is really unexpected!
Since returning to Guangdong from Beijing, Shang Zhixinke has been looking forward to sending his unfilial father with mourning clothes earlier until last night.
Yesterday midnight, when Wang Guodong, who was in charge of the garrison of Guangzhou Dongguan, came over in a panic and reported to him that the situation in the Longtoushan area seemed to be very unfavorable to the Shang family army, Shang Zhixin instantly turned into a filial son and began to miss his father.
He didn't even stay in the mansion, but braved the wind and rain to climb up the Dongguan City Tower, climbed up to the distance, and watched the night and wind and rain cover the east Longtou Mountain in the city.
But it was too dark and the rain kept falling, so Shang Zhixin couldn't see anything after reading it all night.
By the second day of the fifth day, uneasy tranquility appeared in Longtou Mountain area again. Moreover, Shang Zhixin did not find a brigade of Qing troops coming from Longtou Mountain to Guangzhou Dongguan. If Shang Kexi won, he would definitely return to Guangzhou. But where is the trace of Shang Kexi's troops outside Guangzhou Chengdongguan?
This is a lot of danger!
Shang Zhixin, who felt that he was about to lose his father's love, quickly sent Wang Guodong to lead 500 elite soldiers to risk out of the city to "receive" Shang Kexi, who had been arrested for food in the Sea God Temple. As a result, Shang Kexi did not see him, but he took back a Jinguang Jin Military Advisor who had already cried.
"Jin, Military Advisor Jin, am I, Ama, has already died in his country?" Shang Zhixin's voice was trembling when he asked!
Chapter completed!
