Gan Hui himself is not a person who likes to kill, especially his own people.

But he had to do it again.

Otherwise, there is no punishment for being a traitor, there is no responsibility, and people will rush to follow suit.

So Gan Hui gave a death order.

Kill all the soldiers who refused to surrender, and not a single one was left behind.

The battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended.

Although Chai Wu shouted fiercely, his own limited combat power would not pose any threat to Gan Hui after all.

More than 1,000 rebels were killed.

Gan Hui ordered his men to behead the more than 1,000 rebel soldiers.

At first, the soldiers were resistant, after all, they had fought side by side and had a good time.

These people have already paid the price for their actions, and it would be miserable if they could not keep even a whole body after death.

But at Gan Hui's insistence, they had to do it.

For Gan Hui, if he wants to help His Royal Highness the Prince to establish his authority, then these heads are the best choice.

This is also a warning to those who are ready to make a move, His Royal Highness is not a pedantic scholar who is better than a woman, but a brave and courageous general.

Tiger fathers have no dog sons.

His Royal Highness will not be worse than his father in the future!

If this can be done, Gan Hui will be very pleased.

After all, Zheng Jing was raised by him, and it was he who taught Zheng Jing to ride horses and shoot arrows.

So there is nothing wrong with saying that Zheng Jing is his godson.

Gan Hui sincerely hopes that Zheng Jing will get better and better, and he also hopes that the Zheng family will get better and better.

Naturally, the less this internal friction occurs, the better.

"Vice Admiral Ma is almost there, we can go and report to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Ma Xin flattered: "General Gan's resolute and resolute actions are admirable!" ”

Gan Hui was disdainful of Ma Xin in his heart.

In his opinion, the reason why Ma Xin betrayed Yu Xin was not because of loyalty to the Zheng family, but because he felt that Zheng Jing had discovered Yu Xin's betrayal.

After comparing the combat strength of the two sides, Ma Xin felt that Yu Xin had no chance of winning anyway, so he betrayed Yu Xin.

From this point of view, Ma Xin is even more despicable than Yu Xin.

Yu Xin is dead, but Ma Xin is alive. Thinking that His Royal Highness the Prince would even reward him for this, Gan Hui felt helpless for a while.

But at this point, he didn't have much to say, so he could only keep an eye on Ma Xin in the future.

Ma Xin can betray Yu Xin, but he may not betray His Royal Highness.

In the eyes of this person, there is only the word profit, and whoever can bring him benefits is worthy of his service.

Turning your face is faster than turning a book, that's what you're talking about.

Gan Hui can only do what he should do and try his best to assist Zheng Jing. As for what Zheng Jing can grow into, it's up to Zheng Jing himself.

...

...

Zhenjiang Garrison Mansion.

Zheng Jing tapped his fingers as he listened to Gan Hui and Ma Xin talk about the process of counterinsurgency.

"The traitors are all dead?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, except for those who surrendered in battle, the rest of the traitors have been killed! As for what to do with these soldiers who surrendered, please also ask His Royal Highness the Prince to drop them! ”

Ma Xin said with a smile on his face: "His Royal Highness the Prince is wise and martial, and he has the style of a prince. Presumably, after the prince led his troops back to Nanjing, he would definitely praise His Royal Highness the prince. ”

Everyone loves to listen to good words, although Zheng Jing knew that Ma Xin was flattering, he was still very proud.

He handled this rebellion very decently, and he did not hesitate to act resolutely.

Even if you change to your father, you can't do better.

"This son thinks that these traitor captives will be scattered and do hard labor. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and since they have recognized their mistakes, they will spare their lives. ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise!"

As soon as Zheng Jing's words fell, Ma Xin patted his ass.

In fact, he had already prepared two sets of rhetoric.

Whether Zheng Jing chooses to kill prisoners or not, he can make Zheng Jing fluttering.

Everyone has something they are good at.

What Ma Xin is good at is patting sycophants.

"Your Royal Highness, there is one thing that I don't know whether to say or not."

Gan Hui hesitated for a moment, but still said in a deep voice.

"General Gan, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

There is unconditional trust in Gan Hui Zheng Jing.

If there is anyone in this world besides Zheng Chenggong who is good to him, it must be Gan Hui.

"It has been more than half a month since the prince set out on the expedition, but there has been no news, and the last general is a little worried. Do you want to send a detachment to meet it? ”

"That's how it should be."

Zheng Jing nodded.

If he had been focusing on killing Yu Xin and quelling the rebellion. Now that the dust has settled, it is natural to consider the safety of my father.

Although Shi Lang's character is very scummy, his ability to lead troops to fight is second to none.

In addition, there are more than 100,000 Qing troops in Zhejiang, and it is really not ten out of ten for my father to go.

"I don't know who is the right person to send to pick up?"

"The last general thinks that Deputy General Ma is very suitable."

"This..."

As soon as Gan Hui finished speaking, Ma Xin's face showed embarrassment.

He was stationed in the rear in a good manner, but he was to be sent to Zhejiang to pick up Zheng Chenggong. What a fuss this is!

Zheng Jing obviously didn't expect Gan Hui to recommend Ma Xin, so he was stunned.

"What, Vice Admiral Ma has an opinion?"

Gan Hui looked at Ma Xin and said with a smile.

"Ah, the last general will not dare..."

Ma Xin made a bitter face and said helplessly.

In fact, Gan Hui just wanted to test Ma Xin. If Ma Xin does not agree to go, it proves that Ma Xin is a thief and cannot be reused.

Of course, even if Ma Xin agrees to go, it may not prove that he is a loyal minister, but he can barely use it.

Zheng Jing comprehended, bowed slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, it will bother General Ma." ”

"Look at what His Royal Highness said, these are all things that the last general should do."

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and the military situation is urgent, so it's better for Adjutant General Ma to set off immediately."

Ma Xin saw that Gan Hui would not let him stay in Zhenjiang City for a moment, and he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.

But so what?

Who called Gan Hui's official position higher than him, and won the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince?

The way of the world still depends on human feelings.

"Okay, the last general will order his troops out of the city and go to meet the prince."

With that, Ma Xin bowed and retreated.

After Ma Xin left, Zheng Jing asked solemnly: "Uncle Gan is going to test this Ma Xin." ”

Gan Hui nodded and said, "Yes." It seems that this Ma Xin is not stupid. However, the last general still felt that His Highness should not trust this person too much. ”

"How?"

"Your Highness only needs to remember one sentence. This person can be reused, not reused. ”

"Only reusable, not reusable..."

Zheng Jing recited a few words silently, felt very reasonable, and said happily: "Uncle Gan is really a wonderful person. That's the essence of it. ”

Gan Hui sighed and said, "After Yu Xin's matter, His Highness should be even more careful about the left and right. There is no one in this world who can be completely trusted. Even what the last general said, His Highness must not believe it. ”

"How could Uncle Gan harm me, Uncle Gan is the best for Jing'er!"

Zheng Jing looked right.
