Chapter 189: Announcing to the Lord

The sky had already darkened, and the entire Shengjing City had basically calmed down. Everywhere there were soldiers of the Jiang family army patrolling the streets and alleys with torches, and occasionally one or two shouts and screams could be heard, which was the rout of the Qing army that had been found hiding.

All the gates had been closed, heavily defended, and the walls were patrolled back and forth with torches.

Except for the soldiers patrolling the streets, there was not a single civilian in sight on the streets.

After Hu Zongxian entered the city, he announced that a curfew would be imposed for three consecutive days, and all those caught during the curfew would be executed on charges of being a Tartar spy.

In fact, even if there was no curfew, so many fierce soldiers walked on the streets, and few people had the courage to run out in the middle of the night.

The fire in Dolgon's house has been extinguished. By the time it was completely extinguished, nearly half of the entire palace had burned down.

The soldiers dug up more than a dozen corpses from the rubble, all of which had been burned to a charred black mass, whether they were princes who were powerful in their lifetime, or slaves who had no status at all, they were all equal at this time, and no one could tell who was who.

There is no DNA testing in this era, and even if there is, Jiang Chuan has no mind but wastes it on a group of dead people, and it is still an enemy.

Hu Zongxian ordered a large pit to be dug in the pine forest outside the city, and each person had a thin coffin, and they were all buried together. Before he was born, he was the family of the master and servant, so after death, he happened to be a companion together, and he didn't distinguish between high and low.

The tombstone was not erected, but two pine saplings were moved and planted in front of the grave, which can be regarded as a marker.

Zilharang died, and Dai Shan ran away with his people, but he ran so fast that the pursuers chased him for more than a hundred miles and did not catch up.

The three Jiang family army camps outside the city are now full of prisoners. After roughly counting, there are at least tens of thousands of people, and most of these captives are the original Han Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners.

There were not many Manchurian soldiers, and most of them were killed.

Of the 60,000 troops of the Jiang family, 30,000 are still stationed outside the city, and 30,000 are stationed in the city, so that they can echo each other in case something happens, so as not to be passive.

In this way, it can be seen that Hu Zongxian's stability and heaviness are coming, and he can see a leopard in the tube.

Now there are basically no Qing soldiers inside and outside the entire Shengjing City, and even the mansions of all the princes and nobles have been blocked by the Jiang army.

Some of the owners of these mansions are the same as Dai Shan, who ran fast when they saw the opportunity, and some were blocked at home before they had time to run.

Hu Zongxian didn't have the time to clean up these people now, so he sent troops to watch them at home first. As long as they don't come out to make trouble, if they dare to come out to make trouble, then just give a happy one.

His commander was stationed in the palace of Zilharang, one of the deceased Manchu auxiliary kings.

When he first entered the city, Ran Wu and Di Qing persuaded him to set up Xingyuan in the palace, but Hu Zongxian refused. According to his reasoning, the palace was the place where the king lived, and he was just a courtier, so he insisted on choosing the palace of Zilharang.

Di Qing and Ran Wu admired him even more, and they both felt that Hu Zongxian was a handsome talent valued by the lord in the end, he was steady and measured, thoughtful, and even more impressed by Jiangchuan's ability to know people.

At this time, Hu Zongxian was convening Di Qing and Ran Wu to discuss how to clean up the aftermath.

"Hu Shuai, it is imperative to send someone to report the victory to the Lord. Shengjing has been broken, the emperor and the empress dowager of the Manchu Qing have fallen into our hands, and the Manchu Qing can already declare the destruction of the country. Such a great victory shook the world, and since then the name of the lord has really been known to the world. "Ran Wudao.

"What General Ran Wu said is very true, I have already written the paperwork for the victory, and the two of you will see what's wrong." Hu Zongxian said as he picked up a manuscript from the table and handed it to Ran Wu.

After reading it, Ran Wu handed it to Di Qing, and after Di Qing finished reading it, he exchanged it with Hu Zongxian: "Hu Shuai just report it as such, Di Qing has no opinion." ”

Ran Wu also nodded and said, "The last general has no opinion." ”

Hu Zongxian: "Since the two generals have no opinion, then sign with me, and we will send someone to report to Guangning overnight." I believe that the lord is also waiting for our news. ”

Di Qing and Ran Wu nodded yes, and both picked up the pen and signed their names on the back of the manuscript.

Hu Zongxian also signed his name, put the manuscript into an envelope in front of the two of them, baked and melted it with a lacquer stick, sealed the letter, and took out three feathers from a small box on the table and stuck them on the seal.

With three feathers, this is the highest level of urgent top-secret letters, which can only be received by Jiang Chuan himself.

After putting the sealed letter again, Hu Zongxian got up again and took out a brocade box from a cabinet behind him, which was the box containing the jade seal handed over by the Manchu Empress Dowager Bumu Butai before.

Hu Zongxian put the box on the table, then sat down and said, "I have also seen it, this must be the jade seal of the emperor of the Manchu Dynasty." This jade seal cannot be held by a person who is not a king. I want to send a competent candidate to send this jade seal back to Quang Ninh with good news, I wonder if the two generals have any good candidates to recommend? ”

Ran Wu said: "The last general has a cavalry commander Zhao Feng, and this jade seal is what he got from the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Dynasty. If you don't have to do anything, it's better to let him take the people of the headquarters to escort Yuxi and good news back to Guangning. ”

Di Qing nodded and said that he had no opinion.

"Okay, then let Zhao Feng lead someone to escort Yuxi and the good news back to Guangning." Hu Zongxian nodded.

Ran Wu got up and went out, ordered someone to call Zhao Feng, turned back and sat opposite Hu Zongxian and said, "Zhao Feng will come soon." Hu Shuai, although Shengjing is broken now, there are still many remnants of the Manchu Dynasty. To the north of Shengjing, there were several more cities still in the hands of the Manchus. Moreover, there are still many Manchu remnants in the old city of Hetuala, the starting place of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I don't know what Hu Shuai has planned? ”

Di Qing also looked at Hu Zongxian when he heard this.

"That's why I asked the two generals to come over. Now that Shengjing has been broken, the Manchu Emperor and the Queen Mother have also fallen into our hands. However, there are still many remnants of the Manchu Qing scattered everywhere. And the old Dai Shan escaped again, if these people gather under Dai Shan's command again, it will also cause us some big troubles. And now the Mongolian tribes are also in chaos, some surrender to us, and some raise troops to attack each other. ”

"There is also a Manchu garrison on the Korean side, and from the mouths of the captives, it seems that Dorgon's younger brother Duoduo has been transferred to be the commander-in-chief. There are also problems with these captives and Manchu immigrants who also need to be dealt with rationally. What do the two generals think, please feel free to speak. ”

Hu Zongxian's tone was calm, and he methodically laid out all the problems he was facing at the moment, and solicited the opinions of Di Qing and Ran Wu.

Di Qing and Ran Wu are not the kind of fierce generals who can only charge into battle, they are both talented generals, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are even handsome.

Both of them had obviously thought about these issues before they came, so after a little tidying up, they said their thoughts.
