When the chief of the security guard confirmed what he had just done, he immediately said excitedly: "Okay, let's register here, the Restoration Army is so disciplined." The general doesn't even want the filial piety sent to the door, so what's not to worry about. We'll do it well. What the generals confessed. Immediately, he said to the other people: "Everyone has heard that the Restoration Army is an army with strict military discipline, and it will not rob everyone's money and food casually, nor will it harass the people." Everyone cooperates well and must not hide it. ”

The soldier of the Restoration Army also said: "Yes, you are hiding those banner people now, and when you find out later, you will also be punished." The chief hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, the general, the banner people only know how to oppress us, and no one will help them now." ”

For the words of the security chief, the soldiers of the Restoration Army together didn't dare to believe all of them, he knew that in these people's homes, there must be banner people, this is not because the people deliberately do not distinguish between right and wrong, but the Han people are always very kind, and they can't bear to watch these flag people suffer. But they didn't know that it was because of such kindness that the Han people finally paid a heavy price.

Whenever a foreigner was in need, the Han dynasty would generously shelter and help them. But the real disaster they gave to the Han people was never reciprocated. Whenever the Han were weakened, they raised their butcher knives against the Han Chinese. The two Jin Dynasty's clothes crossed to the south, and the Wuhu chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty was even destroyed by the Mongols. However, the Han people never hold a grudge against these pains, but will still tolerate them and help them when we are strong.

These words are far away, and now the people in Nanjing are also shielding these banner people. In fact, these ordinary flag men are not all extremely vicious people. They also have to be good neighbors, and they also know the rule that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest. So it can paralyze a lot of ordinary people and make them think that they are very kind. When the Restoration Army came to count the bannermen and deserters in the city, many Han people covered for them.

The reason why these ordinary people are willing to hide it for them. First of all, on weekdays, neighbors get along fairly well. There is also no one who knows whether Da Ming can persist in the end. Now that the banner man has been betrayed, the Manchu Qing will fight again in the future, won't he be settled by the Qing soldiers? Another point is that most of these ordinary flag people are the family members of ordinary soldiers of some Han military flags, or the Ming army that later surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in order to buy some Han people, they carried the flag and entered the Han army flag.

They are not too powerful on the side of the Qing court, so they are usually very low-key. I don't dare to be like those flag people who entered the customs outside the customs, completely forgetting that they are Han Chinese. He was often proud of being a banner man, a slave of the Manchurians, and they all lived in Manchuria. The banner people who live outside the city are not as good as the people in the city, and they are not so arrogant.

It's just that he is dressed in the coat of a flag man, and he is still Han in essence, and he is no different from the identity of a Han person. It's just that it used to be a big official family of the Han people, but now it has become a family member of the banner family. With these constantly involved relationships, the surrounding Han people also helped them to provide convenience, concealed their identity as banner people, and made them Han people again.

If it was too obvious in the past and couldn't stay at home, you could still hide in the homes of the Han people. The people also helped them make up excuses and prevaricate for them.

Now I heard that if it is found out in the future, it will implicate my family, and many people will suddenly return home. Let the flag man who is hiding at home leave quickly. In addition, regardless of whether the security chief wanted to believe it at that time, on the surface, he was very cooperative with the registration of the Restoration Army, and he also began to pay attention to the affairs of the Restoration Army.

I don't know that because of his appearance, after such a fuss from him, he helped the Restoration Army, and the registration of the Restoration Army went a lot smoother. Under the leadership of a soldier of the Restoration Army, he soon came to the recruiting point in the school field. After handing over the capture to the recruiters, the Restoration Army returned on its own.

Seeing that this capture was personally sent by the soldiers of the Restoration Army, the recruiters immediately looked at the catcher with a different eye. I was busy looking for the clerk in charge of registration and helping to register this catch. The clerk asked, "What's your name?" Where is the person. Are there any other family members in the family? ”

This catcher was stunned for a moment, and said: "Back to the adult's words, the little one is called He Yangqiu." It turned out to be a fast catcher in Zongyang County, Anqing Prefecture, with a mother and an old mother at home, and a two-year-old son, and nothing else. Then he hesitated for a moment and asked, "My lord, why do you still have to ask about the situation at home in this recruit?" ”

The clerk said: "This is the rule of the Restoration Army, in the army, the salary and rewards of the Restoration Army are not high. Some subsidies in the military are issued in the form of local subsidies. Even if it's a military salary, sometimes it's delivered directly to your home. Therefore, registering your family is also to facilitate the issuance of some subsidies to you back. ”

"Ahh He Yangqiu didn't think that the military salary of the Restoration Army was issued in this way, and asked: "There is no military salary in this army, how do we know if the military salary has been paid to the family?" If you die in battle, won't you even get the last pension money? ”

The clerk glanced at He Yangqiu and said, "What are you doing with the money when you die in battle?" Your bereavement money will be delivered to your home one by one. Okay, you're done, here's your waist card, you're done. When you officially become a Restoration Army, someone will change your waist card. ”

He Yangqiu didn't understand it even more, why did he have to wait for the official restoration of the Ming Army, was he not an official restoration of the Ming Army? He Yangqiu was about to ask again, when he heard a general of the Restoration Army next to him say loudly to the clerk: "Song clerk, how is it?" How many people are you hiring here now? Hurry up, we're waiting for this man's hand here. ”

This document is Song Kefa, the Huguangyi Yandao of the Qing court, and it is said that he is also the official of the fourth grade of the Qing court. But it's a pity that when he was in Wuchang, he didn't surrender, and he was afraid of death and didn't die for the Qing Dynasty. Later, it was searched out of the residence in Wuchang City by the Restoration Army.

Although later forced by the force of the Restoration Army, the surrender of the Restoration Army was considered a reversal, but after all, it was much later. In addition, things were very right at that time, and Zhu Youdong couldn't care about dealing with him. was directly thrown to Liu Zhen by Zhu Youdong, asking him to work in the army and no longer manage local civil affairs. However, this Song Kefa is also a submissive person, and since he was put in the army, he has been doing his own thing.

As a result, some generals in the army also accepted Song Kefa. Now hearing the general ask, Song Kefa hurriedly said: "It turned out to be Sun Baihu, I added this person here, and only fifty-eight people were recruited today." He pointed at He Yangqiu as he spoke.

The general surnamed Sun was Sun Anhe of Wuchang. Sun Anhe listened to Song Kefa's words, frowned and said, "Why are you so a little bit of people, now you need people everywhere." Forget it, let's use the fifty-eight people here now. As he spoke, he asked Song Kefa to hand over the person to him quickly.

In this way, He Yangqiu followed Sun Anhe again. Sun Anhe took more than 100 Fuming troops and went to several other recruiting places, and got a total of more than 200 recruits. Then he took these people to the gate of the city and said to these recruits: "What you have to do now is to go into the city and transport all the corpses of the Qing army inside." Then all of them were transported to the lime mountain for centralized incineration, remembering that only the corpses of the Qing army were transported to be burned. ”

After speaking, he took He Yangqiu and others into the city. After He Yangqiu and his party entered the city, they found that there were corpses everywhere in the entire city. Lying densely on the ground, there were not only the corpses of Manchurians, but also the corpses of many Restoration Army.

Seeing the scene in front of him, the two hundred recruits who had just been recruited were immediately frightened. After everyone reacted, they all vomited suddenly. Sun Anhe was on the side, his expression unchanged and said, "I can't stand this scene?" At that time, the Qing soldiers killed 800,000 Han people in Yangzhou City. The corpses alone are piled up like a mountain, and if you had seen that scene, you would not have been scared to death on the spot. ”

No matter how sarcastic Sun Anhe is, no one can reply now. He Yangqiu looked at the ground and found that the ground should have been stained red with blood, and the entire city was filled with this hazy red light.

When they all vomited, Sun Anhe walked into the city with them. Walking on the streets of the city, there is a constant sneering sound under my feet. When the blood began to coagulate, the adhesions produced made everyone walk, and their shoes were a little sticky.

Sun Anhe said: "Okay, now start to move all these corpses out, and the corpses of the Manchurians will be directly transported to the lime mountain for burning." The bodies of the soldiers of the Restoration Army were transported to Zhongshan, and after the military Chinese books were registered, their ashes were cremated and brought back to their hometown for burial. ”

Then He Yangqiu and the others began to transport all the corpses outside the city. But in this way, the whole city of Nanjing began to stir. Looking at the procession of transporting corpses, it was continuous, as if there was no end to it.

For a time, in the entire city of Nanjing, countless people began to gather outside the city. In the face of so many Manchurian corpses pulled out of the city, everyone understood that the Restoration Army had slaughtered the city. Countless people began to worry about themselves, because they didn't know whether the Restoration Army would just slaughter the whole city, or the entire city of Nanjing.

After all, in the morning, the Restoration Army counted the population of the whole city and registered the people in their homes. Looking at these frightened people, Zhou Chang hurriedly took the temporary officials and the people who were requisitioned and sent out, and began to maintain order. Seeing that the effect was not great, Zhou Chang hurriedly said to the crowd: "Don't panic, everyone, the Restoration Army is the army of the Ming Dynasty and the army of the Han people." They will not raise their butcher's knives against the Han Chinese, and the weapons of the Restoration Army will always be aimed at the enemy. ”

But looking at the carloads of corpses pulled out of the city, the people at the scene were still not at ease. In particular, the bodies of some of these women were even naked. Apparently he was humiliated before he died, and he was horrified to see his expression. But fortunately, under the persuasion of Zhou Chang and others, the people slowly settled down.

Zhou Chang said again: "Don't worry, the Restoration Army committed suicide against the Manchurians and the Banner People, as long as you are not the Banner People, you can rest assured that you can do business boldly, and the Restoration Army will not make you a little trouble." Although Zhou Chang said so, after the Restoration Army entered the city of Nanjing, it also abided by the discipline of not disturbing the people.

However, the people here still looked at the Restoration Army in awe, and did not dare to move in the slightest disturbance. When Zhou Chang was persuading the people, suddenly a young man in the crowd said: "You said that the Fuming Army only killed Manchurians, so why did you kill the flag people?" There are also many banner people who are Han Chinese. ”

Zhou Chang glanced at this person and said, "Why did you kill the flag man, then let me ask you, who of these current flag men still thinks that they are Han?" If you think you are a slave to the Manchurians, you are superior. Has anyone been proud to be a slave since ancient times? It's shameless, it's so cheap that you're embarrassed to say that you're Han? ”

The young man said, "That's not right. Is something from ancient times right? Besides, even if it is Zhu Ming, the world's scholars still say that they can learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. Don't people in the world still think they are slaves of the Son of Heaven? Is there anything wrong with that? ”
