Wu Keyuan held the dagger in his hand and cut it on Hong Chengchou's body with ease.

"Dog thief, you want to die quickly, right? Lao Tzu doesn't want you. ”

Wu Keyuan squatted down and said in Hong Chengchou's ear.

Normally, after the execution, the executioner will directly cut off the head of the prisoner to give him a good time.

But Wu Keyuan intended to torture Hong Chengchou and did not do so.

Just as a prisoner can survive for a while after being beheaded, if the wound is sealed with tung oil, the prisoner will survive longer.

Wu Keyuan ordered someone to get an oil drum that was as tall as a person, and then ordered someone to put Hong Chengchou in.

The oil can prevent the blood from flowing too fast, which can make Hong Chengchou feel pain to the greatest extent.

Hong Chengchou was already very weak at the moment, and his voice gradually became much lower.

But he was just hung with a breath, and he couldn't die if he wanted to, not to mention how painful it was.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Keyuan, with the cooperation of a group of soldiers, sewed the freshly peeled human skin onto the scarecrow.

The bloodstained skin had been processed and had been attached to the scarecrow at the moment, taking on a human form.

From a distance, there is no difference between him and Hong Chengchou himself.

Call!

At this point, Wu Keyuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although he was already sweating profusely, he was still very satisfied when he saw the work in front of him.

Originally, he was worried that something would go wrong with him, but now it seems that he is still the future of the sword.

"Your Majesty, the minister is fortunate not to be dishonored."

After Wu Keyuan finished his work, he came to the Son of Heaven to surrender his life.

Zhu Youlang smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "It's hard work, put this scarecrow in the most prosperous place in this city, and let the people see it every day." Put it on the head of the flood thief, and when he dies, he can cut it off and hang it on the castle tower. ”

"Yes!"

After soaking in the oil drum for half an hour, Hong Chengchou finally swallowed.

According to the will of the Son of Heaven, Wu Keyuan cut off Hong Chengchou's head, and after simple antiseptic treatment such as quicklime, he quickly ordered people to send it to Nanchang City to be hung up to warn the world.

The Son of Heaven used practical actions to show the world what the end of betraying the country and surrendering to the captives was.

...

...

witnessed Hong Chengchou's execution, and Shang Zhixin was scared to pee.

Zhu Youlang's methods are too ruthless, and they have exceeded Shang Zhixin's cognition.

What's more, the thousands of Shang family soldiers who were captured had already been killed and wounded in the process of storming the city.

Now Shang Zhixin looks around, and he can hardly see his own people. It's almost impossible to escape.

So if he wants to live, he must try his best to please Zhu Youlang, so that Zhu Youlang thinks that he has use value and will not cut him down with a knife.

For Zhu Youlang, naturally he will not kill Shang Zhixin so easily. After all, in his opinion, Shang Zhixin still has a certain use value.

Especially when Geng Jimao led his troops to break through.

If Zhu Youlang was not mistaken, Geng Jimao would definitely not stop in Nanchang or even Jiangxi after breaking through, and he would definitely run back to Fujian non-stop.

After that, no matter how much the Qing court ordered, Geng Jimao would definitely not send troops again.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope, Geng Jimao almost lost his life in Nanchang, so naturally everything is stable.

For Zhu Youlang, he naturally doesn't want to fight on three fronts, so it is the king to stabilize Shang Kexi as much as possible.

If he kills Shang Zhixin with one sword, Shang Kexi will definitely fight to the death with the Ming army under his grief.

Under the attack of two fronts, the pressure of the Ming army will increase sharply.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang will not provoke Shang Kexi for the time being, and it is not too late to return to deal with the Shang family when the Manchu Qing is resolved.

Shang Zhixin is a trump card in his hand, and Zhu Youlang has the final say on when and how to play.

So he also took the initiative.

Zhu Youlang's initial idea was that Guan Shang Kexi wanted some firearms and food.

After all, Guangdong's geographical location is special, there is a trench area, where the Portuguese gather, and there is plenty of artillery and fire.

In addition, the climate in the south is mild, and the rice is harvested twice or even three times in one season, so it is not an unreasonable requirement for the Guan Shang family to ask for some grain.

Zhu Youlang believed that Shang Kexi was eager to save his son and would definitely agree to his request.

Zhu Youlang wrote a handwritten letter, and asked Shang Zhixin to press his handprint, and then ordered someone to send it to Guangdong.

In the following period, the focus of the Ming army was on recovering the whole territory of Jiangxi and sending troops to Nanzhili and taking southern Zhejiang, and did not have much energy to pay attention to Guangdong and Fujian.

However, in any case, the Ming army in the Jiangxi War was the last laugh, although the Ming army also suffered heavy losses in this battle, losing a lot of troops, but almost completely annihilated the Qing army's hundreds of thousands of troops.

After this war, the Qing army can be said to be broken, even if it wants to make a comeback, it is not so easy.

Now in the entire south, it is Lang Tingzuo and Shi Lang who have become the climate, right?

This Qing army, which was dominated by sailors, was very cunning, and if it could not be defeated, it would run, and it could even flee to the sea.

According to Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang's sailors are very powerful, and the sailors under his command should not be underestimated.

Zhu Youlang also understood the importance of controlling the sea, but at present, the naval divisions of other armies of the Ming army could at most fight inland rivers and lakes, and it was not possible to conduct large-scale naval battles. In this regard, Zhu Youlang can only rely on Zheng Chenggong.

However, in some inland operations in Nanzhili and southern Zhejiang, the Tiger Ben Army and the Ming Army of various departments can play their own role.

At this moment, Zhu Youlang can't wait to recover the lost ground.

Naturally, the whole army was also jubilant.

It's back, it's all back.

If the fight continues at this rate, it will take less than a year and a half for the Ming Dynasty to recover the lost territory in the south and rule the river with the Tartars.

After a little recuperation for a year, the army can be expanded in a big way, and then the Northern Expedition can be carried out.

There are only two provinces left, and the Ming Dynasty can turn the tables in a desperate situation, wouldn't it be easier when the north and the south are opposed?

Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, and Kui Dong Zhuxun are all full of confidence at the moment.

In addition, Zhu Youlang wanted to go to Nanjing.

After all, Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty and the place where Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country.

As a descendant of the Zhu family, if Zhu Youlang can worship at the filial piety tomb, it will undoubtedly be a great incentive for people with lofty ideals in the world.

If there had been more uprisings like those in Shandong, the foundation of Manchu rule would have been shaken, and the Ming army would have had a longer time to recuperate and regain its combat effectiveness.

This will also be extremely beneficial for the future Northern Expedition.

After all, after repeated battles, this main Ming army was already very tired. If you don't get enough rest, sooner or later it will collapse.

People are not machines, the reason why they can fight and win is because of this breath, but Zhu Youlang can't squeeze the soldiers too much, and he still has to have some rest.
