Jiang Guozhu was shaken. Although he still did not clearly answer whether he would surrender in the end, even the black forehead around him knew that he had surrendered.

When Zhou Shixiang's eyes moved from Jiang Guozhu toward his forehead, he thought the other party wanted to persuade him to surrender, but he waved his hand and asked someone to take him down and immediately took him to Nanjing.

The king and the assistant minister lived up to his expectations and captured the seriously injured Liang Huafeng and found the secret order of Shunzhi from him. Most of his troops were killed and injured, and most of the remaining 100 were abandoned and surrendered.

Liang Huafeng was carried in front of Zhou Shixiang. He was seriously injured. He was stabbed in front of the chest, a spear in the back, and a gun in his right leg. Blood dripped from the gate of the governor's yamen to the lobby.

When Liang Huafeng's eyes shot to Jiang Guozhu's face, Jiang Guozhu blushed, but then adjusted his mindset. Since he had decided to surrender, why bother to care about Liang Huafeng's gaze? He was worried now that Zhou Shixiang would also persuade Liang Huafeng to surrender, so that his death of loyalty would be difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, Zhou Shixiang did not intend to persuade Liang Huafeng to surrender, but ordered people to carry him down and bandage him for a while, and then took him to Nanjing with Erseihei.

Wang Fuchen said that Liang Huafeng was half dead, so why should he cure his wounds? If he died, he would fall down. Zhou Shixiang said that this person was of great use. Wang Fuchen asked what it was, but Zhou Shixiang smiled but refused to answer.

Suna and other generals also came from all over the place. Because of the cooperation of the Qing army, most of the people in Suzhou City who were sleeping in their dreams did not know that the city had changed its owner. In addition, the Taiping Army had strict military discipline and did not violate the people at all. This famous Jiangnan city can be said to be "peacefully" handed over to the Taiping Army.

Su Na and others already knew that Zhao Sanwan and other surrendered generals were killed. Although they were shocked, they would be better if they wanted to kill them so that they would avoid these people from causing trouble in the future.

Zhou Shi ordered the Qing army to distribute rewards to each battalion, and the silver was taken from Jiang Guozhu's governor, Fanku. If it was not enough, the surrendered generals who were killed must have it. These people followed the loyalty of Zhenjiang and Suzhou, and no one was robbed. This would be the right way to use the oil they had plundered to appease their subordinates.

Zhou Shixiang ordered the new town to be reincarnated. The sixth town each selected two thousand from the surrendered army to supplement it, and sent another group to Zhenjiang to supplement the third town, and brought the rest back to Nanjing. He specifically reminded that if there were any surrendered army who were unwilling to obey, regardless of the officials or soldiers, they would be rectified on the ground and they would never tolerate them. As for the masters who were forced to be recruited by the Qing army in the camp, they would give each of them fifty bronze coins and ordered them to go back to their own houses.

"I want to go back to Nanjing tomorrow. Suzhou will be guarded by the Sixth Town. The counties around the world will also send troops to accept it. The former officials and others can be used for use. If not, they will be appointed by the Governor's yamen later." After Zhou Shixiang said that, he looked at Suna, "Suzhou will be handed over to you. If there is any problem, I will only ask you."

"Don't worry, with my sixth town here, no one can steal Suzhou City from me!"

Suna was very happy. There was paradise above and Suhang below. Unexpectedly, the general believed in him so much and gave him such a good place to guard him. He was quite moved. He was surrendered from Manzhou and his identity was particularly different in the Taiping Army. However, since he surrendered, he has not been neglected and idle because of his identity. Instead, he has been entrusted with it. Compared to being in Manzhou, he was more willing to take his life for Zhou Shi. In addition to having no way out, he also died for his confidant.

Qiu Guoliang, a voyage school in the third town of Bing, reported that there were a large number of women they captured from all over the south of the Yangtze River in the Qing army camp. How to resettle them?

Zhou Shixiang thought about it and ordered Qiu Guoliang: "Ask those women where their hometowns are. If you are willing to return home, you can organize a special person to escort them back home and hand them over to their families. If they are familyless."

If there is no family arrangement, Zhou Shixiang would have a headache. When he was dealing with Manzhou women in Guangzhou, he wanted to marry these Manzhou women to soldiers in the army, but he was unanimously opposed by the soldiers. Almost no one was willing to take these Manzhou women as their wives. In the end, he had to divide the Manzhou women into the people through Guangzhou Prefecture and give them to those bachelors as their wives. As a result, many "old and young" scenes appeared. In the end, even the people could not be divided, they were arranged to Xiangshan County, and they were distributed to their land like Han people, so they could support themselves. I heard that a grandfather was the Aisin Gioro woman of Lao Nuhaci's younger brother Yarhazi, who was matched with a scoundrel named Zhang Si. If counted, Zhang Si would be the royal relative of the Qing Dynasty.

It is obviously not feasible to qualify the homeless woman to the soldiers as his wife. After all, these women are called the Qing army and some are even sick. A considerable number of them may not be able to be raised in the future. Forcibly qualifying them to soldiers who follow their lives through life and death is definitely irresponsible to their subordinates. The soldiers raised their heads and worked hard, but in the end the commander forced them to give them a group of defeated willows. This must have complaints. If you really do this, Zhou Shixiang felt that he could not afford these soldiers.

Jiang Guozhu, who adapted to his mentality, also raised a concern, that is, women who have a family to return may end up with many people who will not be able to enter the house.

Zhou Shixiang was stunned and immediately understood what Jiang Guozhu was referring to. The Jiangnan area is not as popular as Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang. At the same time, the literary style here is also strong. The Neo-Confucianism style is also strong, and he attaches great importance to women's reputation. Some people are open-minded and can take back their relatives, but some people are afraid that they will be sad and cry and make a fuss to ask the Taiping Army to save them. But the Taiping Army really wants to send people away, and these people may have another mentality. Husbands will divorce their wives because they can't stand the relatives and friends, and neighbors' fingers, and their fathers will also be unable to bear the shame and force their daughter to become monks. This is pretty good. What I am afraid of is that there will be many human tragedies in which the father (husband) forces their daughter (wife) to die.

When the person was rescued, he still couldn't escape death. This must be something that Zhou Shixiang didn't want to see, and some things could not be changed by the government's intervention. At least, Zhou Shixiang does not have the ability to change some inherent concepts of this era.

Enlightenment is based on the achievements of education from generation to generation, not achieved by a single decree.

Jiang Guozhu gave his advice and said, "The officials thought that they might as well match these women with those surrendered soldiers as their wives."

"Give the surrendered soldiers to be his wife?" Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a moment, thinking about the feasibility of this method.

The king and the assistant minister said on the side that this method is good, and he said, "Whoever does the evil will bear it."

“Well.”

Zhou Shixiang could not think of a better way, so he ordered Qiu Guoliang: "Just do as Governor Jiang's wishes. Of course, those who are willing to go home will send them home first. If you ask the people who send them back, don't rush back. Observe for a few days and make sure that these women will not be forced to return again. Otherwise, bring the people back and you will be given the surrendered soldiers as your wife." After a pause, he added, "If anyone dares to stop them, he will be regarded as a conspirator."

Zhou Shixiang asked Jiang Guozhu to calm the hearts of the city and asked the doctor of the clinic to treat the poor women.
