When the two brothers met, they didn't even have the mood to cry with their heads, and their hearts were like ashes.
It turned out that Shi Huanzhang, as stated in the letter to Shi Huanzhi, saw that Yongzhou City was no longer in trouble, and on the third day after Admiral Liu Changqing sent troops, he also led more than 300 doubtful battalion soldiers who followed him out of Yongzhou Mansion City and rushed to Ningyuan. The reason why they traveled so slowly was because they also brought with them the bones of 200 of their fellow villagers. There were 200 suspicious brave battalion soldiers, who died in the battle of Yongzhou City when they fought against the main force of the Taiping Army.
Along the way, he met Liu Changqing, the governor of Guangxi, who fled after a fiasco. Shi Huanzhang was shocked when he heard that the 4,000 army led by Admiral Liu Changqing attacked Daozhou, but was ambushed by the long-haired thief army! The long-haired thief army that can completely annihilate the 4,000 Qing army must be more than 10,000. He immediately thought that Ning Yuan was the closest to Daozhou, and Ning Yuan was very likely to be attacked by the long-haired thief army, and his five hundred suspicious battalions and those two thousand Chenzhou soldiers were not enough to resist at all.
At the moment, he was anxious, and rushed to his hometown Shijiadong to bury the bones of his fellow villagers, but found that all their family members and relatives were captured by the long-haired thief army.
Shi Huanzhang was in a hurry, and hurriedly looked all the way to the direction of Xinning City to pursue. Maybe it was too anxious, and when the Suspicious Battalion caught up with the long-haired thief army, it happened to encounter a large group of thieves who came to meet and were surrounded in a forest.
The long-haired thief army even sent his respectable cousin to persuade him to surrender. There are few people surrounded, and all relatives are in the hands of the thief army, the thief army is so powerful, if you desperately resist and anger the thief army, it is likely to bring ruin to Shijiadong. After some persuasion from his uncle, Shi Huanzhang finally chose to surrender after a painful choice, and promised to help persuade Shi Huanzhi in Ningyuan City to surrender, so as to protect Shijiadong and the Doubtful Battalion.
After saying the ins and outs of the matter, Shi Huanzhang was sad in his heart, and said: "Huanzhi, for my brother, I am physically and mentally exhausted, and the brothers of the Suspicious Yong Camp and the neighbors of Shijiadong will entrust it to you!" ā
After speaking, Shi Huanzhang walked to Luo Outline in the center of the crowd, arched his hand and said with a wry smile: "General Luo, Shi has completed the promise made last night, and I hope that the general will also keep his promise, not only let the neighbors of Shijiadong return home, but also not be suspicious of the brothers of the Yongying camp, and let the brothers stay on their own volition." Of course, in return, I would advise my brothers to join the Holy Army. ā
"This is natural. Luo promised you that he would never break his word! Luo Outline replied categorically, he admired this local regiment commander named Shi Huanzhang for being able to form a suspicious battalion with combat strength inferior to that of the Holy Army on his own.
"Okay, Shi is grateful for General Luo's kindness!" Shi Huanzhang returned to the more than 200 soldiers of the Doubtful Battalion who came out of the city, his heart was full of bitterness and nostalgia, but he shouted expressionlessly: "My brothers of the Doubtful Battalion, you are good!" General Luo is looking forward to you joining the ranks of the Holy Army, and I, Shi Huanzhang, also hope that you can join the Holy Army, and forge a future for yourself and the villagers of Shijiadong! ā
"Huanzhi, take care of the brothers! Take care of Shijiadong! In the next life, we will be brothers! ā
"Big brother, what are you going to do? Don't! Shi Huanzhi reacted violently, he rushed over, but he was still a step too late!
A wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of Shi Huanzhang's mouth, but he smiled, as if he was relieved. His right hand, also stained with warm blood, held a dagger deep into his abdomen.
"Big brother! Why are you doing this? Did these long-haired thieves force you? I fought with them! Shi Huanzhi hugged his cousin tightly and looked at Luo Xuan with resentment!
"Yes, Commander Tuan, didn't you let us join their holy army, why did you still take this path?" The suspicious Yong camp next to him also surrounded him.
"Huanzhi, it has nothing to do with the Holy Army! General Luo also invited me to join the Holy Army, because I was tired and wanted to take a break! The corners of Shi Huanzhang's mouth opened and he wanted to laugh, but the severe pain in his body made him unable to laugh, and death was approaching, and he said the last words vigorously: "I, Shi Huanzhang, have been familiar with the scriptures of the saints since I was a child, and I often serve the heart of the loyal king, but this time because of the selfishness of my hometown brothers and fathers, I am not loyal to my filial piety. ā
After speaking, Shi Huanzhang endured the severe pain, but struggled and shouted at the suspicious Yongying Township: "Shi Mou is only asking for death for peace of mind, not the fault of the holy army!" Now the Manchu court is rotten and weak. We and other brothers in the camp must not bury themselves, and good men should fight on the battlefield in order to achieve great things. The brothers joined the Holy Army, General Luo was honest ~ big ~ zhang ~ husband ~, will.........be kind....be kind....treat kindly! After saying that, he fell to death.
Shi Huanzhi was grief-stricken, crying and falling to the ground, unable to speak. The villagers were also weeping, and their hearts were at a loss and they didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Luo Jian was also embarrassed! I feel a pity in my heart that such a loyal and righteous person died for the Manchu court and died for his own heart, which is too unworthy. Fortunately, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was full of corrupt and mediocre people, if they were all such people, it would be really difficult for my Taiping Holy Army to defeat.
He stepped forward and said warmly: "Brothers, General Shi's death, Luo is also very sentimental!" General Luo entrusted the Suspicious Battalion to Luo last night, and you have all heard his last words just now. From now on, everyone will be a soldier of the Holy Army, and they will all be their own brothers! General Shi is also a rare person admired by Luo, and after his death, Luo will definitely handle it according to your customs and scenery. ā
Luo Xuan stepped forward again and patted Shi Huanzhi and said, "Brother Shi, General Shi's death is his own choice, please mourn!" Our holy army is also a group of people who can't survive, forced by the Manchu Tartars. Our holy king once said that if you want to blame, you can only blame the mediocre Manchu dog emperor, thinking that he is a king and a teacher, and deceived the world's scholars with hypocritical loyalty to the monarch, and killed General Shi! To overthrow the Manchu court is to avenge General Shi! ā
Luo Xuan admitted that he tried his best to persuade because he valued these doubtful battalion soldiers very much, and when the number was not dominant at all, he could still make the Holy First Army led by him suffer a small loss, and such a team with combat strength had to make him covetous. If he hadn't changed his usual personality, he would have ignored it a long time ago.
Seeing that Shi Huanzhi still didn't react, Luo Outline remembered what the Holy King had said, a scholar is the most important thing to be famous. Then he added: "Luo also admires General Shi very much, and General Shi is the leader of the Suspicious Battalion, Luo is willing to plead with the Holy King to canonize General Shi as the true general of my Holy Country, so as to comfort him in the Heavenly Heroic Spirit!" ā
Shi Huanzhi immediately stopped crying when he heard this, looked up at Luo Xuan, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes, and said softly: "General Luo's kindness, Shi has thanked you." Then, he wiped away his tears and said in a deep voice: "Brothers of the Doubtful Battalion, Shi followed the last wish of the eldest brother and led the Doubtful Battalion to join the Holy Army, are you willing?" ā
"We will obey the last wish of the regiment commander, and we are willing to join the holy army with the deputy regiment commander!"
