When Lin Fengxiang led his troops into the city of Fuzhou, Admiral Li Tingyu was carried and led thousands of regiments to bravely escort Wang Yide, the governor and acting governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, to retreat to Mancheng in the east of the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 20,000 or 30,000 green battalion soldiers and regimental trainers who originally followed Li Tingyu in Fuzhou City either surrendered or fled under the leadership of various families.

In response to the city, Lin Fengxiang sent hundreds of captives to shout in unison, demanding that the tens of thousands of Manqi people in the city surrender. The leader of the city is a white flag leader, he can't let go of the face of the flag people, refuses to surrender, and organizes the full flag people in the city, regardless of men, women and children, are issued arquebuses and shotguns, and the rest of the bows and arrows, broadswords, spears, rattan armor and other things, organize the flag people to resist stubbornly.

Lin Fengxiang saw that he refused to surrender, and after occupying the outer city, he brought in heavy artillery and bombarded the city. At this time, thousands of banner people hacked the white flag leaders to death, and surrendered one after another with the white flag.

And Li Tingyu, who fled into the city, saw that the general trend was gone, wiped his neck and committed suicide, and Wang Yide also committed suicide by swallowing gold.

After a day's effort, the captives occupied the entire city of Fuzhou. However, although tens of thousands of families of full-flag soldiers surrendered, how to settle them became a big problem.

Lin Fengxiang hurriedly sent someone to report the victory to the Holy King of Guangzhou, and at the same time handed over the entire hot potato to Feng Yunshan to solve.

With the capture of Fuzhou City, most of the entire area south of the Yangtze River, except for Zheqi and Siqi, was occupied by the captive army, which is equivalent to one-third of China has been returned to the Holy Kingdom, which can be said to be larger than the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Feng Yunshan learned the news of the capture of Fuzhou City three days later.

This was to be expected. However, how to settle the tens of thousands of flag soldiers in the city is a big problem. According to the practice of the Taiping Army, they must be killed all, which is the most painful. However, now he also knows that since they have surrendered, it is definitely not appropriate to kill them all, if they are killed and spread out, no one will surrender in the entire Manchu banner people in the future, and they will all have to fight to the death, which is definitely not good. And as the old saying goes, killing prisoners is ominous, with Feng Yunshan, the soul of later generations, although he hated the traitorous behavior of the Manchu Qing Banner people who deceived the inside and outside, but after all, he received the civilization education of later generations, and he was not keen on slaughter.

But if you don't kill them, with these Manchu people who are completely like waste, they are used to eating the offerings of the Manchu court, and they have no ability to take care of themselves, do you want the holy country to support them?

Feng Yunshan was a little embarrassed. Soon, though, he came up with an idea.

He immediately issued an order for Lin Fengxiang to marry all the young women among the Manchu bannermen who surrendered, from over ten years old to under forty years old, to the soldiers of the captive army, just to solve the personal problems of these singles.

The young and strong people over the age of 10 and under the age of 50, because most of them were flag soldiers and were stained with the blood and sweat of the Han people, so Lin Fengxiang sent people to Guangzhou, and then the Nanyang Company sent them to the copper mines in Yunnan, which was about to be developed recently.

The rest of the nearly 10,000 old bannermen and children under the age of ten, both men and women, were all transported to the north by the sailors, unloaded and leased in Shanghi nearby, and then entrusted to the foreigners to help transfer them to the Manchu government.

These are all burdens of offerings, and Feng Yunshan doesn't want to help Manqing carry them. These wasted people are completely a burden, and killing them will cheapen the Manchu court, and this burden is still the most practical to return to the Manchu Dynasty.

Feng Yunshan looked at the map of Kanyu and found that unconsciously, he had occupied the five provinces in the south, and already had a territory wider than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history, and the population of the jurisdiction was also fifty or sixty million, which was already equivalent to the population of two Britain or the United States.

For a while, the heart was surging. It is conceivable that the rise of the Han nation in their fantasy among the nations of the world has already had a preliminary dawn. If this trend continues, he will be completely capable of changing the course of history, turning things around, overthrowing the decadent Manchu Qing Dynasty, and making the history of the Chinese nation, which has been full of disasters and difficulties in modern times, no longer appear.

Just when Feng Yunshan was impassioned and his heart was intense, Wang Minyun came in to report that Luo Xuan, the commander of the Fifth Division, had arrived in Guangzhou and came to meet the Holy King.

As soon as he heard that Luo Xuan had arrived, Feng Yunshan hurriedly walked out of the palace and greeted him. In the courtyard of the palace, Feng Yunshan saw Luo Xuan, who was dark-faced, old and emaciated.

"Brother Outline, I haven't seen you in a long time! Yunshan misses it very much. Feng Yunshan stepped forward to greet him calmly.

"Outline, meet the Holy King!" Luo Xuan looked at Feng Yunshan leisurely, and seeing that he was still the same as before, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

For Feng Yunshan, now, he has no resentment, and even, seeing that Feng Yunshan didn't even put the Holy King's shelf, Luo Xuan was a little moved, and he was a little ashamed of some of his previous thoughts.

Feng Yunshan didn't think about it so much, Luo Xuan could come to Guangzhou, on the surface of his position, there was no such big barrier to himself, at least he didn't have a rebellious heart, and that was enough. He enthusiastically stepped forward to hold up Luo Outline: "Brother Outline, it's been hard all the way. Open up loam for the holy country, hard work, Yunshan thank you. Tonight, our brothers have a good drunken get. ”

The maid of the palace stepped forward to set up the wine and food, and the two drank freely together. After three rounds of drinking, Luo Xuan took advantage of the exhaustion of the wine and suddenly said: "Holy King, Luo Mou came to Guangzhou this time, in fact, he was a little cautious. ”

He drank a large glass of wine violently and said, "Feide's death, Luo Mou has long known about it, and it has nothing to do with the Holy King. It was the wicked obstacle that he had done stupid things himself. Luo Mou is a straightforward person, there is one thing to say, this time I came to Guangzhou on purpose, just to talk to the Holy King in person, Luo Mou didn't blame you. ”

Feng Yunshan looked at Luo Outline and said, "Brother Outline, in fact, I also have some responsibilities. Didn't take good care of Feide, didn't supervise him well. He was co-opted by the corrupt Shaozhou prefect, but this corrupt prefect was appointed by the king, and in the final analysis, he is still responsible. Brother Outline, I, Feng Yunshan, can't stand you! ”

"Holy King, it's not your fault!" Luo Outline said emotionally: "This matter is over, in the future, I will be Luo Outline without this son!" This time in Guangzhou, the Holy King can still treat Luo as before, and Luo is also content! Luo has one more thing to say. ”

Feng Yunshan wondered, what was there to talk about so solemnly.

"Holy King, I heard that Qiu Changdao, the commander of the 4th Division, rebelled and led his troops to join the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this person Luo is more familiar with. Saint King, for people like this, we have to take precautions, we must take precautions in advance, so as not to have such a thing. ”

Feng Yunshan didn't expect Luo Outline to say this matter, but it was a little strange, his heart moved, and said: "Brother Outline, do you mean to say that the original Heaven and Earth Congregation leader is this group?" ”

"Exactly! Like Qiu Changdao, who was originally the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society in Chenzhou, the congregations under his command were not dispersed, and all of them were integrated into the captivity army as a whole, resulting in the two main regiments in the Fourth Division B, all of which were the original Chenzhou Heaven and Earth congregation, Qiu Changdao's loyal younger brother, so that the captive army of these two regiments became his Qiu Changdao's private troops. This is not good for the Holy Kingdom and for you, the Holy King. Therefore, when Luo thought of this problem, he was anxious and reminded the Holy King. Luo Xuan said bluntly.

I see!

Feng Yunshan understood the purpose of Luo Xuan's rush to Guangzhou. This is really his good brother, and he is the only one, who comes from the Heaven and Earth Congregation, and knows the thoughts of the people in the Heaven and Earth Congregation best. Only he, with a high status and true feelings for himself, will ignore it and put forward this unfavorable advice to himself.
