Three hundred and seventieth chapters a lot of hostages

Long before entering the city, Zhou Shixiang had arranged for candidates to solve the key points in Guangzhou. The person responsible for attacking the Governor's yamen was Guan Tianshui of the personal military camp, and the person responsible for attacking the Jingnan Prince's Mansion was Jiang Fan, the deputy battalion officer of the left camp of the infantry army, and Zhou Shixiang personally led the army to attack the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. The rest of the staff were controlled by Shao Jiugong, Tieyi and others, and the Green Camp station and took over the various city gates in Guangzhou.

Ge Yi was injured by an arrow while in Shenwan. Although he was clamoring to go to Guangzhou to do a big ticket, his injuries made him unable to follow the army and could only stay in Shenwan. Zhao Sihai wanted to take the baggage battalion to count the capture and place the wounded soldiers, so he could not participate in the battle to seize Guangzhou. After the two of them buried Qin Zhisheng together, they made two pots of wine from the prisoners, sat by Qin Zhisheng's tomb and drank drunk, and cried happily.

Jiang Fan led his men to attack the Jingnan Prince's Mansion, and panicked people were everywhere along the way. After seeing the Taiping Army brigade appear, even if the Taiping Army's slogan had changed from the four words "Ming Army arrived!" to the eight words "Ming Army arrived, don't be afraid of the people!", these people still screamed and fled everywhere. Whether it is the Ming Army or the Qing Army, those with swords in their hands always make people afraid of them.

The family members of the King of Jingnan were from the Jingnan Fan family from Liaodong. After the Taiping Army entered the city, except for a small number of the Han family members hid at home and did not dare to come out, the rest ran to the King of Jingnan. As a result, some of them were blocked by Jiang Fan's people on the way.

In order to escape, the Han army's family rushed to trample on each other, the old man's scolding, the women's screams, and the children's crying endlessly. The Han army's family, who were eager to survive, placed their hope of life on the Prince's Mansion where their master was located.

Jiang Fan was eager to take down the Prince's Mansion of Jingnan, so he was not willing to be delayed by the women and children of the Eight Banners of Han. He immediately sent troops to drive away the crowd, but when the general thought that he had given an explanation, he did not slash and kill the women and children.

Zhou Shixiang and other generals had a fierce quarrel with the generals about how to deal with the Han army's families under the two vassal kings in Guangzhou. The final decision was to kill those who resisted, and those who did not resist would be controlled and could not be slaughtered.

The reason for this decision was that Zhou Shixiang took a fancy to the Han army under the monk Geng Jimao Zhixin. If they could save their lives and make good use of them, the Han army might not follow the monk Geng Jimao Zhixin to the end regardless of his wife, children and children.

Even though these Han soldiers were covered with blood from the Han people, they all participated in the Guangzhou City Massacre and Chaozhou City Massacre. But as long as they could be used by the Taiping Army and turned the target they killed into the former master Manzhou people, Zhou Shixiang would be willing to blame their past plans.

There were already many Han army surrendered in the Taiping Army, with thousands of households and several hundred households. It can be said that the Taiping Army is now an army initiated by Zhou Shixiang. However, it is an army composed of bandits, Manchu, Han army surrendered, righteous and brave, good people and young people. In essence, this army is composed of different people and strives for a common goal. Therefore, from top to bottom, the Taiping Army does not exclude outsiders, and also desires more people to join.

If the Han army's family cannot be killed and looted, Zhou Shixiang naturally has to compensate his subordinates. This compensation is naturally the Pingnan Prince's Mansion and the Jingnan Prince's Mansion. There is also the city that makes everyone excited. As for the Eight Banners family members, they are hostages without exception. The kidnappers are Taiping Army.

.........

Thousands of Han soldiers rushed to the Jingnan Prince's Mansion crying and robbing the sky and earth. They were slapping the gate of the royal palace outside, hoping that the people in the mansion could let them in for refuge. However, the guards of the royal palace did not dare to open the gate without authorization and let them in, so they could only ask for instructions from their mistress Shi Yuanling.

Shi Yuanling was the concubine of King Jingnan. These people outside were all Han soldiers under the Jingnan vassal and also the Baoyi slaves of his Geng family. Now their men are fighting with their husbands, so Shi Yuanling did not dare to abandon these families no matter what. She hurriedly asked the guards to open the door and put the people outside into the mansion.

"The door is open, the door is open!"

The moment the gate of the royal palace opened, the Han family rushed in excitedly. It was too late for the guards of the royal palace to maintain some order. The Eight Banners families who were rushing in were still screaming and crying, which made the servants of the royal palace who were already frightened and crying, as if the sky was falling.

There were too many people, and the guards in the palace could not suppress them at all, so they could only let these families cry.

Shi Yuanling was annoyed when he heard it, but he had no choice.

The Taiping Army's shouts of killing came from Danan Street and Chaotian Street not far away, but the families outside were still rushing into the mansion, and the guards all changed their colors. If they did not close the door, the Taiping Army would probably rush in with these families.

"close the door!"

Shi Yuanling's pretty face was pale and bloodless. She gritted her teeth and ordered the guards to close the door immediately. When she found that the guards of the royal palace were about to close the door, the families outside were frightened and screamed in. However, as the scabbards of the guards smashed down, the gate of the royal palace was slowly closed. The Han army families who had already entered the royal palace listened to the crying outside, feeling sad and uneasy.

There were more than a thousand family members of Zhenghuangqi who were stranded outside the gate of the royal palace. No matter how they cried inside, kowtowed, and reported their men's names, the gate of the royal palace was closed tightly without moving.

"The Ming Dynasty soldiers have arrived, the Ming Dynasty soldiers have arrived!"

Screams spread rapidly from the outermost side of the crowd to the inner side. The frightened woman in Zhenghuangqi held her child and wanted to escape to other places, but Taiping troops came from both sides of the street. They had nowhere to escape.

"Everyone, kneel down quickly!"

"Get out of the way, don't block the Ming soldiers' path!"

In order for these women and children to be massacred by the Taiping Army, the elderly shouted loudly, and the women and children listened blankly, because fear automatically retreated to both sides with the old man's voice, giving up a passage directly to the gate of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion.

The Taiping Army rushed over on both sides with swords and spears, staring at the families of the Eight Banners Army who were extremely frightened, but no one shouted and went forward to use a knife to kill them, but just ran towards the gate of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion along the passage in the crowd.

"Dad, dad!"

A child in the crowd suddenly pointed loudly at a Taiping soldier walking past in front of him and shouted loudly. The child's screaming would startle her mother, but she was surprised to find that the Taiping army her child pointed at actually stopped after hearing the sound, and was looking at the two of them with excitement.

All around the family members who were familiar with the woman were stunned. They could see clearly that the Taiping Army was the second son of the Wu family who said that he had already died in Lutou River with the soldiers in Manzhou?

More and more women have found their own men from the Taiping Army. Like the second son of the Wu family, their men are all wearing Ming Dynasty soldiers' clothes, and the braids behind their heads have long been removed.

The guards lying on the wall of the royal palace looked at the family outside crying and screaming excitedly, but their faces were filled with joy.
