"All killed?"

Yu Shizhong was stunned. These tens of thousands of prisoners were not forced to recruit from the countryside and scared the masters who ran away when they heard the sound of cannons, but were all veterans who had been trained and fought. Isn’t it too waste to kill them all? Besides, these are not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands. It’s so dark, how to kill them? If the prisoners riot, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome?

Tieyi also felt that it was inappropriate to kill them all, so he proposed to leave the Green Camp and only kill Manchu and Mongolian soldiers. Yu Shizhong recognized this proposal. There were only more than 2,000 Manchu and Mongolian prisoners, and it would be safe to kill them if they were killed. They could use the previous methods to drive the Green Camp to kill these Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, so that they would not worry that they would turn against each other and could use them for their own use.

But Zhou Shixiang stubbornly repeated his order, that is, not to keep these prisoners, and not to keep any of them. In his opinion, the number of prisoners was too large. The Taiping Army had less than 30,000, but more than 10,000 were captured, and it was not a complete victory. There were even greater battles to fight next, so it was very unwise to leave these prisoners who could be shaken at any time. In all dynasties, with fewer troops, on the one hand, they would choose to massacre the huge group of prisoners that could not be digested in a short period of time. Zhou Shixiang was no exception. He issued a massacre order. Before he gained an absolute advantage over Shunzhi, he would not do anything to be kind to women. Even if he really needed these prisoners to supplement the towns with heavy casualties, he would rather kill all hidden dangers in the bud.

Seeing that the generals of Yu Shizhong and Tieyi had already issued the order, they stopped dissuading them and instead discussed how to execute more than 10,000 prisoners as quickly as possible. Although it was still dark, the troops that received the orders took action quickly.

Zhu Qinglai, the deputy general of the First Town, first selected 500 strong green camp soldiers, and then sent them weapons and told them clearly that as long as they took action to kill other prisoners, they would be pardoned. Otherwise, their fate would be death.

After hearing this order, the 500 Green Camp soldiers were very excited. They believed in the Taiping Army because they used to do this kind of thing. In the saying of "a copycat green forest", it was just a letter of surrender. Thinking about it, if you don't do things for the Taiping Army and don't have their own blood on your hands, can the Taiping Army trust them? When these 500 Green Camp soldiers were picked out by the Taiping Army, someone knew that their chances were coming. Whether they were the Ming army or the Qing army, those who were strong were always accepted first, and most of them would become personal soldiers of the generals in the end, and those who were weak were mostly reduced to cannon fodder. In this chaotic era, people who were naturally aligned with the choice of things, and strong people could survive more easily.

After the 500-strong battalion soldiers were picked out, Zhu Qinglai ordered the remaining 2,000 prisoners to drive the remaining 2,000 prisoners to the river, and the 500 prisoners went to execute the massacre order. More than 2,000 prisoners were told that they would go to the canal to take the navy's warship, and then take them back to the Guazhou Water Camp in batches, and then cross the river to Nanjing City. If someone did not leave, or took the opportunity to cause trouble and riot, then don't blame the Taiping Army for being eyeless.

"At up, get up! Follow the red flag, hurry up!"

A Taiping Army holding the flag strode to a small pile of soil and shook the red flag in its hand from a high point. The Taiping Army around immediately used swords and spears to knock on the prisoners sitting on the ground, forcing them to get up and follow the red flag immediately.

"What are you going to do? We're here and don't go anywhere."

Not everyone among the prisoners believed that the Taiping Army wanted to send them onto the ship. A few Manzhou soldiers always felt something was wrong. While reminding each other in Manzhou dialect, they instinctively shrank back towards the crowd.

"court death!"

Seeing this, several Taiping soldiers rushed to the Manzhou soldiers like wolves and tigers, and stabbed them hard without saying a word with the spear in their hands. In an instant, the soldiers were stabbed into blood and swelled to the ground and could not move. When the other prisoners saw this, they were all so scared that their faces were pale, and no one dared to retreat any longer.

"If you don't want to die, go away!"

Under the urging of the Taiping Army, the prisoners walked towards the canal one by one. After arriving at the river, the Taiping Army asked all the prisoners to squat on the ground with their heads in their arms, and if they did not do so, they would immediately use their swords and guns.

"Honestly, I will take you to Nanjing when I get on the boat. I will specially place you. I am willing to be our Taiping Army. Then I will be our brothers in the future. If I don't want to kill the Tartar Emperor, I will send you money to let you go home."

""

The Taiping Army, who were slaughtered by lies, told them to the prisoners without any change. The lies were easily accepted by the prisoners. Although the Taiping Army's attitude was so bad, the promises gave the prisoners a glimmer of hope. If they really survived and could go home in the future, they would be willing to be beaten and work as a coolie for a few years. But at this moment, they saw the strong companions who had been picked up before appearing in front of them with long swords in their hands.

"Do it!"

The red flag shook violently, and 500 prisoners rushed towards their companions like wolves and tigers. They slashed wildly, ignoring the other party's begging. Some prisoners and prisoners who killed them came from the same village, and some of them were even relatives, but the murderer did not hesitate at all when the sword fell.

When the last prisoner was cut down on the blood-covered ground, and when the blood on the first prisoner who died was frozen, the murderers calmed down from their madness. They stared blankly at the corpses on the ground, staring at the blood-stained sword in their hands.

Zhu Qinglai was very satisfied with the performance of these strong prisoners and ordered them to bury the dead bodies. Then when the prisoners handed over the sword and were about to get shovels to bury the bodies, the Taiping Army turned its face.

The cold wind blew, and there were 500 more bodies on the river beach

The fifth town held more than 3,000 prisoners, and Yu Shizhong handed over the massacre order to the hiking school Cao Shou. Cao Shou did not act like the first town, and he thought it was troublesome, so he ordered the more than 3,000 prisoners to be directly driven to the town where the fire was on fire.

More than 3,000 people were rushed to the fire town. Screams came from time to time in the distance. They realized something. Some people were crying secretly, and there was a sense of fear in the crowd. Many people even wanted to escape while the Taiping Army was unprepared, but the Taiping Army was defending very closely and they had no chance to sneak out of the team.

After the captive team walked to the entrance of the town, the people in the front stopped. They looked at the burning fire in front of them with some anxiety. Their expressions and eyes were complicated, and they were also very entangled. They didn't know if they should continue walking forward.

Seeing the captive team suddenly stopped, Cao Shou ordered impatiently: "Turn them in, if they refuse to leave, kill them!"

Teams of Taiping Army holding Langxian went forward to force the prisoners to walk forward. Under the push of these people, it was difficult for the people in front to stand still, but they refused to go in. They could only hold their faces with their hands or protect their heads and let the Taiping Army beat them.

"If you don't leave, you'll fire the gun!"

Hundreds of Taiping Army holding muskets aimed at the torches in their hands, and the black muzzle pointed at the prisoners in front, and they were about to ignite the fire at any time. Teams of Taiping Army holding knives rushed over with torches, and the knife was thrust in their hands, and they were about to come up to kill prisoners who did not obey orders at any time.

"Don't, don't fire the gun, let's go, let's go"

Seeing that the Taiping Army was really going to kill people, the prisoners who refused to advance were so scared that they beg for mercy. Compared to the uneasiness in their hearts, the shaking swords and black muzzles in front of them made them even more scared.

After the crowd entered the town in batches, the Taiping Army detained them in a group of hundreds of people into the houses that had not yet caught fire. This made the prisoners feel a little relieved, but soon, the house they were staying in was thrown into cans of tinder oil, and the Taiping Army outside began to set fire. In the fire, the prisoners tried desperately to push the door and smash the window, but everything was too late. They could only scream, wail, and beg in the fire.

Xinyi Town forced prisoners to dig a large pit, coaxing the prisoners to dig a pit and bury dead bodies. As a result, after the pit was dug, the prisoners who dug the pit were buried.

Burn, cut by knife, buried alive, beheaded

Under the order of Zhou Shixiang, various Taiping Army units staged a tragic massacre at the mouth of Bianjiahe River.

Inhuman, almost barbaric massacre

After dawn, the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry led by Obai finally arrived at Yuxinxu, which was less than three miles away from the mouth of the Bianjia River. There was an official road leading to the mouth of the Bianjia River. The Qing army did not continue to advance because Obai did not move.

In Aobai's sight, there was a piece of wood on both sides of the official road in Yujiaxu every few meters, and the wood was connected by iron wire. On the iron wire, heads were hung. From Yujiaxu to the mouth of Bianjiahe River, all the heads were all along the way.

Dirksunny, Ehe Ke, Duo Bi, Tong Guogang's familiar heads made Oboi's scalp numb. Although the sun was in the head, the official road was gloomy and terrifying.

Yesterday, my mother-in-law's fiftieth birthday, she drank at noon and evening and almost died of drinking. She stopped drinking from now on, and her head hurts and vomits so much.
