Chapter 247 Entering the city

"I heard a few months ago that Xin will avenge his parents, wife and children, and kill the Qing soldiers general Yunlong's Yongshao. When I saw him today, the Yongshao was indeed well-known and the soldiers he brought was even more amazing. He really is a hero and a hero is a boy, haha..."

The old general Bai, Chen Qice, was in a good mood because of victory, grabbed Zhou Shixiang's hand, looked at him carefully, and became more and more happy as he looked at him, and he kept nodding. The generals of Chen's side also looked at Zhou Shixiang with a smile on their faces, not as arrogant as Zhou Shixiang had thought before, which made Zhou Shixiang secretly ashamed, but had the heart of a villain before.

Chen Qice was so enthusiastic and was a person of his grandfather. He couldn't help but praise him. Zhou Shixiang would not have any disgust with the old general Bai's observation, and was very modest when he was a junior. After taking a look, Chen Qice moved his beard and introduced several generals under the tent to Zhou Shixiang one by one. Zhou Shixiang also treated everyone with respect, not lacking any etiquette, but he did not put himself too low, as if it was a normal etiquette among friendly forces. Chen Qice was not surprised by his behavior, and nodded secretly.

"If the general had not led his troops to aid, Xinhui City would have been asked to take it away by the Qing army. How could there be some younger generations here at this moment? The younger generation could see clearly before that, but the Qing army fled when they saw the general's banner. General Linghai's reputation was enough to shake Guangdong Province."

Zhou Shixiang held Chen Qice in disguise, but did not say the official title at all, but only called him the younger generation one by one. Duke Xiang of Song heard Xian and knew his intentions, and his heart moved slightly, and he also secretly thought about it.??

"Oh, it's not that your Taiping Army has been holding on this city for several months, and it burned the Qing army's naval camp. How could I sway into the river? I plucked up the courage to go ashore and beat the water dogs. I said a thousand and ten thousand things. In this battle, your Taiping Army made great contributions, and your brother Zhou made a great contribution! When I got off the ship, I decided to report this war to the court truthfully. I want the court to know that the Xinhui will re-enter my Ming Dynasty and the Guangzhou gate is open. I wonder what the emperor and the court are happy. Don't worry. With this contribution, the court will never treat you badly!"

Chen Qice had a very generous demeanor, and he seemed to be very generous. As long as he entered the book, the court would immediately reward him with a general. He was also a master, and Zhou Shixiang refused to surrender himself as General Linghai, so he called out "Brother Zhou" and didn't care at all about the difference in age between the two.

Of course, Zhou Shixiang also wanted the official identity of the Yongli court. As for the reward, he didn't care. He smiled and thanked Chen Qice for his kindness, but found that the faces of the generals behind Chen Qice were not very good-looking. He thought about it and knew the key to the problem. According to the old general's statement, the Taiping Army must be the biggest contributor to seize the Xinhui and defend the Xinhui. On the contrary, the Chen army who came to support would be demoted to a higher level. The main and secondary points were the difference, and the rewards were very different. Without scrutinizing the minds of the Chen generals, people were all utilitarian. · If a navy had not arrived ashore in time, it would be a question whether the Taiping Army could hold on. In this detailed comparison, it was really hard to tell who this merit belonged to.

Since Zhou Shixiang came, Qi Hao took the initiative to join the Taiping Army. He interrupted and said, "The King of Xining must be very happy."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Qice and Zhou Shixiang were stunned. Chen Qice's aide Hu Deyu frowned slightly, but he didn't know what to think.

The atmosphere in the field seemed awkward. Fortunately, Chen Qice smiled heartily and said, "The King of Xining led a large army to surround the Xinhui for several months last year, but failed and had no choice but to retreat. Today, Xinhui asked Brother Zhou to seize it. He defeated the Qing army who came to attack. The news came over. How could the Prince of Xining be unhappy? I am afraid that he would have to report that the army would be reorganized and advanced eastward again that day."

"The Prince of Xining is afraid he can't get out of his body..." Hu Deyu muttered, but no one heard it.

"Since the Qing army was defeated, Xinhui will no longer be surrounded. Then please ask the general to enter the city to discuss. However, I have some ideas to talk to the general for a good life."

Chen Qice came to help with the guest army. As the actual master of Xinhui City, Zhou Shixiang naturally had to treat each other with kindness. There is no reason why the guest came to the host but refused to greet him.

Chen Qice smiled and said, "Okay, since I entered the sea in the second year of Yongli, I have not entered the inner city for several years. Last year, I was anxious to see the Xinhui City from afar. Today, I have such a great victory, and I just came to the city to see it." As he said, he greeted his subordinates, "Come on, you all come to the city with me to take a good look at our Ming Dynasty city."

The generals responded with a smile, but Hu Deyu whispered and reminded Chen Qice. After hearing this, Chen Qice quickly said to Zhou Shi: "By the way, Brother Zhou has extra grain and grass to supply to me for the Navy."

"forage?"

Zhou Shixiang was stunned, and then realized that Chen Qice's navy seemed to be as poor as his Taiping Army. He smiled bitterly and said, "I want the old general to enter the city to discuss the food and grass."

"Oh?" Chen Qice saw Zhou Shixiang's face was embarrassed, and his heart tightened. He knew that the other party was afraid of food and grass. He was a little anxious when he came. But he was not moved, smiled and nodded, signaled Zhou Shixiang to lead the way, and then ordered Hu Deyu, "Zixuan, go and arrange it, you will be the one who will be the one who will be the cause of the aftermath, so there is no need to ask."

"Yes, general." Hu Deyu responded quickly.

"Please, the old general!"

"Brother Zhou, please!"

Next, Zhou Shixiang invited Chen Qice and his party to Xinhui City. There were corpses and burning camps everywhere along the way. From time to time, Taiping Army and Navy teams escorted the prisoners by. Chen Qice would stop whenever a team passed by. If he saw the wounded soldiers, he would have to worry more. This behavior naturally made Zhou Shixiang feel more in love with him. He felt that this old general Bai was not like other generals of the Ming army, and was very down-to-earth. However, the more Chen Qice did, the less Zhou Shixiang knew how to speak out for the rest.

When we arrived at the city gate, there was an old Taiping Army rear camp who was organizing the elderly and children to go to the Zhancheng to pick up things. When Chen Qice saw these elderly and children who were hungry and a little malnourished, his face was shaking and he was very sad.

On the battlefield, the Taiping Army and the Navy were cleaning up each other. Both sides did their own things tacitly, and there was no such thing as fighting for the spoils. I think Chen Qice had also given instructions from the other side.

Duke Xiang of Song sent someone to the city to clean up the county government, and then plundered some dried meat, vegetables and vegetables, barely buying a seat that was quite eye-catching, but there was no wine in the army. Fortunately, Chen Qice didn't mind, so he used tea instead of wine to sit in the seat.

After three rounds of tea, Zhou Shixiang first spoke out that the Taiping Army had almost cut off food. Then he suggested that the Qing army's food and grass seized in this battle were divided equally by both sides, and the remaining materials were also equally divided. (To be continued.)
