Gou Xingwang led the Restoration Army to kill all the Qing troops in Sanzhai, then collected their equipment, and also searched for a large amount of gold and silver from their bodies. Due to the capture of the Restoration Army, it was necessary to use military merits to measure how much each person should share, so all the property found was temporarily gathered. To put it bluntly, the seizure will be returned to the public, but it is not as direct as it is said.

Looking at the sky that had begun to glow, Gou Xingwang had to return to the south with his army as soon as possible. Gou Xingwang, who returned to the south, saw that Ma Rong and Chen Fuyi had already asked people to clean the county, but almost every family in the southern city was filial piety, and from time to time there was news that someone in the family had thrown themselves into the well again, and whose daughter-in-law had hanged herself again.

Gou Xingwang also felt uncomfortable, so he asked the local soldiers in the south to go home for a half-day vacation to see how their families were doing. Then Gou Xingwang arranged patrols and sent scouts to inquire about the news, thinking alone about how to send news to Zhu Dashan to the south.

In the afternoon, some local soldiers in the south returned to the barracks one after another, although they were still very sad, but Gou Xingwang saw that these local soldiers were holding their breath and going to settle accounts with the Qing army. Jiang Bochong and Nong Kaiguo came to Gou Xingwang, and Jiang Bochong said angrily: "General, didn't we say before that we would kill all the Qing soldiers in the city?" Why is it still locked up now, does the general not want to avenge the people in the south? ”

Gou Xingwang looked at Jiang Bochong and said: "It's not that I don't want to avenge the people, now there are more than 3,000 Qing soldiers, how can you let me give this massacre order with so many people." Jiang Bochong said with red eyes: "Then the more than 2,000 soldiers we died, and so many people died in vain?" Nong Kaiguo also said: "General, if we don't punish these soldiers, we can't explain to the suffering people." ”

Gou Xingwang looked at the two of them and said, "I was about to send a message to Hou Ye, or wait for Hou Ye to reply to the message." At this time, Liu Yingnan walked in and said: "It's not proper, this matter needs to be solved immediately, I suggest that all those who insult women be publicly executed." Looting people's property has always been unavoidable, but our Restoration Army stipulates that it is not allowed to plunder people's property, so these people are directly used as hard labor. Liu Yingnan was following He Zhen's town guard, and after hearing about the matter in the south, he also hurried over. But when it was about the life and death of thousands of people, Gou Xingwang did not dare to make a decision.

Jiang Bochong also said: "Yes, those who abuse women must be put to death." Liu Yingnan said: "General, when I first came in, I saw that the morale of the local soldiers in the south was not high, if we can't make a judgment on the Qing soldiers who committed crimes in the south as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will affect our battle against Li Guoying in the future." Now we need to make a quick decision, otherwise the longer it drags on, the more bad it will be for us, not to mention that Ping Yuhou also said that we have to deal with the aftermath for the soldiers, and taking care of the family is the top priority. ”

After listening to Liu Yingnan's words, Gou Xingwang did not hesitate anymore and said: "Jiang Bochong, let you deal with it, all the Qing soldiers who have insulted women in the south will be publicly beheaded." Jiang Bochong got up again and said gratefully: "Don't worry, general, I will definitely not let those Qing soldiers have a good time." Then he went straight out to deal with the Qing soldiers.

Gou Xingwang saw Jiang Bo rushing out, and said to Nong Kaiguo: "You go and see the situation in the lower treasury, you used to be a warden, I think you will temporarily act as the governor of the southern county, appease the people, and then you will be stationed in the south." Wait for the Hou Ye to arrange for you to return to the building. Also, prepare the food and grass that the army is about to use, and don't harass the people. Nong Kaiguo stood up and said, "The last general will obey the order." Then he went out.

At the head of the city of Wanxian, Song Gaoju looked at the Ming army that had already entered the city, and said to Yang Xun and Zhao Yun: "This Tan Yi and Tan Hong were made marquis by the Qing court, and I didn't see how powerful they were," Yang Xun and Zhao Yun saw that Jiang Chao of the Ming Army was carrying a thousand households, and rushed to the wall of Wanxian County with just one wave of attacks, opened the city gate, and then the army entered the city. They all felt a little incredible, Er Tan's army definitely had more than this combat power. It turned out that Song Gaoju took the town guards, and all the way through the disguise copied by Zhu Dashan, and led the army directly to the outside of Wanxian County without the Qing army knowing. Then Jiang Chao took the word A thousand households, and rushed directly into the city before the Qing army woke up.

The two Qianhu who were transferred from Kui Dong were still a little unconvinced of their eyes until the Restoration Army rushed into the city. There is no way, this is too magical, in less than a quarter of an hour, the Restoration Army has already slaughtered the Qing army in the city. Hearing that Song Gaoju looked down on Er Tan a little, Zhang Xun said: "Actually, Tan Hong and Tan Yi's army still has some combat power. We also caught them off guard. Zhao Yun also nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise last year, it would not have been due to Er Tan's rebellion that would have made our attack on Chongqing a failure." ”

The words of Zhang Xun and Zhao Yun were heard in Song Gao's ears, and he looked down on these two people in his heart, and thought to himself: "Why can't you defeat someone who betrays." You rely on others to conquer the city. When we fought with Li Guoying, Chengdu also rebelled. Look at our Hou Ye, he directly led the army to wipe out all the people. But this can only be said in the heart, not in the mouth. Looking at the Restoration Army, which had already captured a few streets, Song Gao said: "Order, surrender to avoid death, and those who capture Er Tan alive will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver." ”

Zhang Xun and Zhao Yun were surprised: "Song Zongbing, just a hundred taels?" Isn't it too little. Zhang Xun and Zhao Yun were speechless when they heard Song Gao's reward, this is too picky. Song Gao said proudly: "It's not low, if it weren't for the failure of the two of them to rebel and cause the Kuidong family to attack Chongqing, I am ready to avenge you, I don't even want to reward you with a tael of silver." Ping Yuhou said that these dog officials who surrendered to the Manchus were worthless. Don't look too highly at them, what's the big deal, just kill them when you catch them. Let's see if these people will dare to take refuge in other races to oppress their compatriots in the future. ”

Zhang Xun had no choice but to say: "What Ping Yuhou said is also reasonable, these people who surrender to foreign races are very hateful. Song Gaoju didn't want to talk about the topic of reward anymore, so he said: "Zhang Xun, Zhao Yun, you two quickly go and organize people, block the four gates, and don't let Er Tan run out." The two immediately agreed to go to the four gates.

At this time, Song Gaoju went straight to the county government with the guards, and Song Gaoju rushed to the county office, but there was no one in the county office. Hearing the sound of killing on a street next to the county office, Song Gaoju hurriedly took people over to take a look, and found that there was a very large mansion, and the guards in the courtyard were very brave, and the Fuming army couldn't attack it for a while. Song Gaoju went over and saw that Ye Xiuye was directing the attack, Song Gaoju said, "What kind of place is this, how can there be so many elite soldiers in this courtyard?" Ye Xiuye saw that it was Song Gao who came, and said busily: "This is Tan Yi and Tan Hong's home, and the people who take care of it are the families of the two, and the soldiers guarding are also the relatives of the two, and they are very brave." ”

Song Gaoju heard that it was Ertan's home, and said directly: "You guys retreat and go find some firewood and oil." Shouting directly, limited to a quarter of an hour, and those who can't come out and surrender when the time is up, they will be directly set on fire to death. Ye Xiuye was shocked: "Lord Commander, you won't be punished for destroying property like this." Song Gaoju directly patted Ye Xiuye and said, "Get out, who is in this family?" They are traitors who surrendered to the Tartars, they are thieves who help foreign races to oppress us, they are not the people, they are at my orders to set fire. ”

Seeing Song Gaoju say this, Ye Xiuye hurriedly asked people to prepare firewood, and then shouted loudly to the courtyard: "Listen to the people inside, now you are limited to come out and surrender in a quarter of an hour, otherwise we will directly set the fire." The people inside were immediately panicked when they heard this, and someone said: "Let's go out and surrender, Master Hou doesn't know where to go, and it's not interesting for us to guard." Then someone chimed in: "Yes, it's enough that we've been blocking for so long, and as soon as they set fire to it, we'll have nothing but a dead end." ”

At this time, another female voice said: "How can you be ungrateful, if it weren't for my father's daily support for you, would you have such a good life?" Now I don't want to protect the Lord's house, but I want to go out and surrender. Then another old voice said: "Shuanghua, don't say it, if they are willing to go out and surrender, let's go, we are the ones who surrendered, and we can accuse others of surrendering." The previous woman's voice said urgently: "Grandma, but what if they surrender to us?" The old voice said, "Under the nest, there are eggs." Our Tan family was originally a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and it was better to die if he defected and surrendered to the Qing court, and it was better to live in the world. ”

Then there was no sound, and after a few more moments the gate was opened, and then some soldiers laid down their weapons and walked out one after another. Because these people fought with the soldiers of the Restoration Army and killed many people before, the soldiers of the Restoration Army did not have a good means to step forward, so they directly beat and kicked with spears, and now these people do not dare to resist. There was a young girl walking behind who helped an old lady out, and when she saw that the people of the Restoration Army were very rude and fought against the family who had almost surrendered, she suddenly said to the old lady with some anxiety: "Grandma, look." The old lady looked at the ladies and shook her head, but did not speak.

Song Gao said: "Okay, since you have surrendered, let's take it all first." Don't care about these female dependents for now, as long as you don't leave the house, you will keep them first. Then he said to Ye Xiuye: "Send someone to search, the female dependents can stay, and all men will be escorted out." Ye Xiuye agreed to take people and rushed into the house.

At this time, the soldiers of the Restoration Army from another place ran over and raised them to Song: "General Song, Tan Yi and Tan Hong, two brothers, were about to escape from the West Gate, but they were intercepted by General Jiang and others, and both of them were killed on the spot at the West Gate. Now General Jiang and General Zhao Yun joined forces and went to the Tan family military camp outside the city, preparing to control the military camp. As soon as the old lady heard Tan Hong and Tan Yi were killed, she immediately shouted: "Retribution!" Then he fainted. The girl next to her also cried and shouted, "Dad, second uncle." Then he saw the old lady fainting, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him and kept shouting, "Grandma, wake up, grandma." The girl turned to the soldiers of the Restoration Army who were present and said, "Please save my grandmother, please." ”

Song Gaoju ignored her and said to the soldiers who came to report the news: "You go to Yang Xun and ask him to bring someone to help Jiang Chao immediately, it is enough to have a regimental battalion of Ye Xiuye in Wanxian County." The soldier immediately turned around and went to find Yang Xun. Song Gaoju looked at the houses that were constantly burning in the city, and said: "The order, all the Qing soldiers in the city surrender and do not kill, and then organize the people to fight the fire, and anyone who dares to take advantage of the chaos to commit a traitor will be killed." Immediately, people kept running around the city, and Song Gaoju said to the surrounding soldiers: "You guys should go too, just leave ten people here." ”

At this time, Song Gaoju came to see the old lady, who had woken up leisurely in the girl's cry. Seeing Song Gaoju walking over and saying, "This general, the old student can come forward to persuade the Tan family's army outside the city to surrender, and ask the general to leave a queen for the Tan family." Song Gaoju was puzzled: "Who is the old lady?" If the old lady can persuade the Tan family's army to surrender, I dare not say that she can save the Tan family's family history, but it is okay to save her life. ”

The old lady said, "Okay, I'll go to the barracks with the general." The girl said angrily: "Grandma, our Tan family gave them so many troops, and they didn't give us anything, we can't just agree to them so easily." The old lady patted the girl's hand, and without saying a word, she led her out of the city. Although the girl was not convinced, she still went away with the old lady.

Seeing this, Song Gaoju also took his own soldiers out of the city together, and told Ye Xiuye to control the city as soon as possible and pacify the people.

With this old lady coming forward, the Tan family's army laid down their arms and surrendered to the Restoration Army. At this time, Song Gaoju knew that the old lady was the mother of Er Tan, and it was Tan Hong's son Tan Tianmi and Tan Yi's son Tan Tianxu who were guarding the Tan family's military camp, so as soon as the old lady came forward, Tan Tianxu and Tan Tianmi surrendered directly. Song Gaoju also took advantage of the situation to break up the Tan family's army into the army, the Tan family has more than 6,000 troops, all of them are strong, Song Gaoju this reorganization, almost reached two guards. Yang Xun and Zhao Yun who watched it were very red-eyed, if they had so many troops, they would not have to be a marquis or something. But Song Gaoju didn't care at all, he already had more than 10,000 troops. The next day, he reported all the situation to Zhu Dashan, and Song Gaoju galloped to Liangshan with two guards and horses, leaving only Li Shuisheng a regimental camp and the local people to defend the city.

When Song Gaoju went out of the city, he also followed an oil bottle, which was the girl who came out of the Tan family, Tan Yi's daughter Tan Shuanghua. According to Tan Shuanghua, it was the old lady who asked her to go to the Pingyu to ask for the guilt, but in fact she was going to go to the Pingyu to complain, because Song Gaoju copied the Tan family, leaving only a small amount of family property and grain for the Tan family, as well as ten acres of land, and now the Tan family is extremely miserable. Song Gaoju didn't speak after knowing this situation, just said that if you want to follow, just follow, I don't care if you fall behind. Then he marched with the army to Liangshan County.
