Although it was the cold winter season at this time, Liu Tianfang's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

He was in a pure hurry.

He had already seen five or six captives just now, but after he carefully identified it, he still didn't find Zheng Hongkui's figure, which made his original confidence begin to drain rapidly.

He has followed Zheng Hongkui for many years, and he knows that this third master of the Zheng family is definitely not the kind of lord who dares to fight hard, and he will definitely not defend the city, so it is definitely certain to escape.

And he must have put on makeup to cover it up, so he was very careful when he identified it, but he still found nothing.

Although many other generals were found among the captives, they were all small fish and shrimp for the officers and soldiers, and Zheng Hongkui was the most important.

Seeing that he had reached the last pile of prisoners, if he couldn't find Zheng Hongkui again, Liu Tianfang didn't dare to imagine his fate.

He already felt that the officer and general who followed behind him looked at him with a little unkindness, and that person's right hand had been rubbing the handle of the pistol on his waist for a long time, intentionally or unintentionally.

Thinking of the guy who was shot in the head just now, Liu Tian was more and more relieved.

Zheng Hongkui's beard is very distinctive, and the three strands of long beard are the most complacent for him to think about, saying that he is emulating the second master of the martial saint Guan, and he pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays.

Therefore, Liu Tianfang's first glance was to take these three long beards as his main goal.

"Stand up, face forward, and raise your heads." The Wehrmacht officers behind him shouted before the last group of captives.

Many of those captives knew Liu Tianfang, and when they saw him being escorted by the official army and didn't know what he was talking about, they all raised their heads and looked at him curiously and blankly.

Liu Tianfang didn't care about their eyes, he quickly swept them over, and didn't find the familiar three long beards, and his heart couldn't help sinking.

As soon as he was in a hurry, he hurriedly said to the Wehrmacht officer behind him: "This general, please give me some more time, I will definitely be able to find out." ”

The officer snorted coldly, noncommittal.

Liu Tianfang wiped the cold sweat on his face, and searched and scanned it again.

After scanning it a second time, I still didn't find the familiar face.

Liu Tianfang's back was completely wet with sweat at this time, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forcibly calmed himself down, and muttered in his mouth: "I will definitely be able to find it, I will definitely be able to!" Dead friends don't die poor Dao, Zheng Sanye, you come out quickly, come out quickly. ”

At this time, his eyes suddenly noticed a figure that had been ignored by him, and he walked directly over and stared at the man.

At this look, Liu Tianfang was immediately overjoyed, and couldn't help but walk over quickly and lift the man's chin to take a closer look.

At this glance, there is indeed a problem.

"Zheng Sanye, it's really you, it's really you, you let me find it!" Liu Tianfang had an excited expression on his face for the rest of his life.

Zheng Hongkui scolded Liu Tian in his heart, and subconsciously said: "It's not me!" Not me! ”

After finishing speaking, I realized that something was wrong, I didn't have three hundred taels of silver here.

When he first saw Liu Tianfang coming over, he had a hunch that this guy was probably here to identify him, so he did everything he could to cover it up.

I was about to get through the trick, but I didn't expect to be recognized in the end.

"Third master, don't deny it. I've been with you for so many years, don't think that I don't know you if you cut your beard, get your face dirty, and change your clothes. Liu Tianfang grabbed Zheng Hongkui and said loudly.

Then he turned to the Wehrmacht officer behind him and said, "General, I found it, I found it, this is Zheng Sanye Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhilong's younger brother, and the chief general of Jianning City." ”

Zheng Hongkui was furious, he didn't expect to be able to get away with it just by looking at it, but he was found out by this Erwuzai, he was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked Liu Tianfang to the ground, and scolded: "Liu Tianfang, you bastard who eats inside and out, Lao Tzu treats you as a confidant, but you betray Lao Tzu, your fucking conscience lets the dog eat it!" ”

Liu Tian was relieved, and he didn't dare to fight back, and his expression was also sneering.

Two Wehrmacht soldiers walked over and smashed Zheng Hongkui to the ground with the butt of a rifle and dragged him away.

After washing the blood stains on Zheng Hongkui's face with water, and after finding a few other people to confirm, Zheng Hongkui was taken to see Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei looked at Zheng Hongkui, who had a complicated expression on his face, both annoyed and afraid, and then looked at Liu Tian, who was hiding on the side, and said with a smile: "Vice General Liu is really good." General Ben is a man of his word, and he can save you from death. And as long as you restrain those captives to me, then the general will plead his case to the top, and maybe he can promote you and give you a chance to serve the court. ”

Liu Tianfang was immediately overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you for the grace of the general." Liu Tianfang will definitely swear to serve the imperial court to the death, and he will definitely not disappoint the general. ”

Chu Yunfei smiled, encouraged him a few more words, and let people take him down.

Today, Liu Tianfang personally identified Zheng Hongkui in front of everyone, this is a letter of nomination, which is equivalent to cutting off his own way to rejoin the Zheng family.

No matter how magnanimous Zheng Zhilong was, it was impossible for him to betray his younger brother like this, so Liu Tianfang had no other way out than to surrender to the imperial court.

There are a lot of captives, and it is not easy to manage and guard them.

But if there is a general like Liu Tianfang to lead and help manage, it will be much easier.

Liu Tianfang now has no way out, and those generals who identified Zheng Hongkui like him also have no way out, they can only work hard to win Chu Yunfei's favor, so that there can be a way out.

Moreover, the Wehrmacht has only three armies in the southeast, and in order to completely occupy the entire southeastern region, it is obvious that the strength of these three armies alone is far from enough.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot rely entirely on the descendant army, and the servant army is also indispensable. Now that the general trend is clear, these captives can be transformed into servant armies.

And people like Liu Tianfang are very suitable for such a thing.

In the past, the Qing army entered the customs at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the Manchu army did not exceed 100,000 at most. However, the surrender of the Han Eight Banners and the surrender of the Han people in the past formed a green battalion of nearly a million people.

If there were not so many green battalions of the leading party, the Manchus would not be able to defeat the huge Ming Dynasty even if they were tired.

For example, the general trend is very clear today, and Jiang Chuan has a righteous reputation, these people don't have much psychological burden to join the imperial court at all, so they don't have to worry too much about them rebelling.

And this is also the strategy set by Jiang Chuan before the National Defense Force went to Jiangnan.

"Zheng Sanye, you are running fast enough, even the old lady doesn't care about it. I don't know if your eldest brother knows that you do this, I don't know if he will reward you for a good fight. ”

Looking at Zheng Hongkui, who was depressed and depressed in front of him, Chu Yunfei sneered disdainfully.
