Three thousand soldiers with unsheathed steel knives appeared in the streets and alleys of Jinling to raid the homes of officials who surrendered to the enemy and sacrificed the city.

The city of Jinling was full of cries, and there was an endless stream of families of prisoners in shackles and escorted to Suzhou. There are more than 300 other direct men, so that the young generals who go to arrest do not dare to make claims. The young general in charge of the capture was named Liu Ting, who was originally a small soldier in Jiangyin, and was exceptionally promoted to guerrilla general because of his bravery and repeated military exploits.

He came to the boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River, exchanged glances with Qin He, and entered the boat.

The little maid led him upstairs, only to hear a girl's voice laughing, the guttural voice was as crisp and beautiful as a warbler's cry, and with a little coquettishness, which was difficult to control. Liu Ting hurriedly lowered his head and said through the curtain: "Commander, the female relatives of the convicts have been sent to Suzhou, and more than 300 men have been arrested, all of whom are blood relatives of the convicts. ”

Hou Xuanyan stood up, straightened his clothes, picked up the sword on the table, and said to Bian Yujing, "I'm leaving." ”

"When will Lord Xiaohou come again?"

These questions are lingering, and those who don't know think they are concubines who have been good for a long time. Hou Xuan scolded his belly, he hadn't even touched a little hand, he was like someone who had become me, and the little sao hooves were really good at fishing for men's appetites.

Where is he the one who suffers, he cheekily leaned over, pressed against Bian Yujing's ruddy earlobes, and chuckled: "When you miss me, I will come back when you want." ”

Bian Yujing was caught off guard, delicate and blushing, and breathing rapidly. Dodged back and almost fell, Beihou Xuanyan hugged her waist, touched her weak and boneless waist, laughed and walked out of the private room.

"Hooligans...", the sound was like a gnat, almost inaudible.

Hou Xuanyan walked downstairs with Liu Ting, and said with emotion: "Wenrou Township is a hero's tomb, no wonder as soon as the Qing soldiers arrived in Jinling, they sacrificed the city." Such a stunning bone-eroding ecstasy is touching. Thankfully, I came down quickly. ”

Liu Ting nodded thoughtfully, he almost couldn't hold it just by listening to the voice.

After walking out of the boat, Hou Xuanyan frowned and scolded: "Only three hundred people, I told you to behead, don't you dare?" Under the city of Changzhou, how many 300 people have been killed, and I haven't seen your kid ask for instructions, how can you live more and more regressively. ”

Liu Ting's face was embarrassed, and he said: "Commander, that's different, this is not a battlefield." ”

"You're wrong, this is the battlefield. Now that the south has settled down on the battlefield, the next thing to do is to go to such small battlefields. If there is unstability behind us, how can I rest assured that I will take you across the river to fight hard. ”

Thousands of people had gathered at the entrance of the market, staring nervously at the makeshift execution table in front of them, pointing and discussing. The people above are all big people they need to avoid on weekdays, and they have to make a detour to make way when these people travel, but now they are tied behind their backs and kneeling on the stage. Behind them, each stood a soldier armed with a steel knife.

Hou Xuanyan made a look, Liu Ting walked up to the execution platform hard, and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency the Governor has an order, and anyone who commits a crime will commit it, can it be verified?" ”

The knife-wielding soldiers said in unison: "It has been verified that it is indeed the family of the offender." ”

"Slash!"

The sharp steel knives were raised in unison, flashing with a shocking coldness, and slashed down in unison.

The onlookers screamed in amazement, and the timid ones were already fainting with fright.

A scholar-like person in the crowd, with a gleam in his eyes, said to his companion: "Jinling, as the first line of defense in the south of the Yangtze River, is separated from the Tartars in the north of the Yangtze River. ”

His companion was dressed similarly to him, but his temperament was different, and he was holding his stomach at the moment, almost nagging, and the bloody breath that choked the stomachs of these people who had never seen the battlefield turned over the river.

He endured the discomfort, looked angry, and scolded in a low voice: "Cruelty, cruelty, I thought he was a heroic man who saved him, but I didn't expect him to be a murderous thug." ”

"I don't think so, Tai Chong, in my opinion, the one who can save the situation must be this person. I am willing to follow him in the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, what do you think? ”

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other."

After Hou Xuanyan finished killing people, he also had some unspeakable feelings in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing that his face was not good, Qin He stepped forward and asked, "Commander, do you want to go back to rest?" ”

Hou Xuanyan laughed miserably and said: "What I thought in my heart and what I hoped for in my dream was to conquer Jinling. Now that Jinling has been taken, there is some distraction, so let's go back to the palace. ”

Liu Ting came down from the platform at this time, with blood on his feet, and asked, "Commander, the family property of these prisoners will not be counted for a while." I have sent men to guard their mansions, and I have asked the Governor to find a few bookkeepers who can settle accounts and take an inventory. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "Let's march in a hurry, and all the soldiers who come are soldiers, so let's recruit them from this city." ”

Liu Ting nodded and left, and after a while, the city was full of notices.

The scholar in front of the execution table tore one up, and said with a smile on his face: "Some small things, you don't need to stir up the people, I am enough alone." ”

At this time, Hou Xuanyan, who returned to the Nanjing Forbidden City, saw a thin figure walking around in front of the steps.

Seeing that he was back, Li Er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, the villains have sent the news of your recovery of Jinling back to Qinglong Mountain. The leader of the mountain was excited, and he wanted to enter the city and join the adults. ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said: "These people can still resist unyieldingly after the fall of Jinling, which shows that they are all righteous people. When they are in the city, bring them to me, and I will not do you any wrong. ”

Li Erxi smiled and said, "Thank you, my lord, the villain will retire first." ”

In Qinglong Mountain, a group of people with yellow faces and ragged clothes were all elated. They were unwilling to surrender to the alien race, and hid in the deep mountains and forests, and finally hoped for hope.

Zhou Wenwu laughed heartily and said: "Take out all the food in the cottage, let go of it tonight, and we will enter the city early tomorrow morning." There was a thunderous roar of joy in the cottage, and everyone swallowed their saliva, they had been hungry for too long.

A little minion came up and asked, "Boss, my father taught me when I was a child, and I can't be empty-handed when I see a big man." Shall we prepare a gift for Lord Hou? ”

Zhou Wenwu's face was pale, and he scolded: "What are the conditions of the cottage, don't you know?" Gifts..."

Suddenly, his eyes turned to look at the dozen or so Manchu Tartars tied to wood in the courtyard of the village.

"It's a pity that this Tartar only has a dozen subordinates, forget it, it's better than nothing. We will also be able to take out this gift, I hope Lord Xiaohou, don't mind, we are light and affectionate. ”
