After killing Zheng Sanwan, Ma Yulong and other generals, Zhou Shixiang immediately ordered to go down, and all the troops in the city were given five taels of silver, and the deputy general and below were all promoted to the first level. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and ordered all parts to supervise and supervise the surrender of the army, and those who have abnormal movements do not need to report and kill first. If it weren't for too many concerns, Zhou Shixiang hated that he couldn't kill all the more than 10,000 Qing troops, so that he could be completely at ease. After all, the more than 10,000 Qing troops are difficult to digest in the short term, but at the moment he can't stay in Jiangnan for long, and he will have to return to Nanjing after the Suzhou incident. If these surrendered troops make trouble again, it will inevitably greatly restrain the already small strength of the Taiping army, and it will also make Jiangnan erosive.

What Zhou Shixiang wanted was a complete Jiangnan, not a Jiangnan as dilapidated as Liangguang and Yungui. Therefore, he can only retreat and kill the warlords who want to imitate Ma Fengzhi's example, continue to vacillate between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and want to live happily in the rich land south of the Yangtze River.

More importantly, Zhou Shixiang also wanted to use this incident to add a principle to the future acceptance of surrender - those who surrender in fear of power will be accepted, and those who will surrender for profit will be killed.

With the continuous victory of the Taiping army and the recovery of the southern capital, it is conceivable that more and more Qing troops will surrender to the Taiping army in the future, but these people surrender with the fear of the Taiping army, but at the same time, they have many speculative interests. For example, the condition for Zheng Sanwan and others to surrender is to imitate Ma Fengzhi's example and defend Jiangnan (Su Song). Agreeing to them means that the land of Jiangnan will be returned to these generals, and it will be difficult for Zhou Shixiang's Taiping Army Central Committee to get much tax from these places in the future.

The more they promised, the more Ming troops who were not descendants, and if these people were like Zhang Huangyan's department of the Zhejiang army and Li Laiheng's department of the loyal battalion, they were committed to opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The problem is that these people are essentially speculative warlords, who are clear and clear, and they have no concept of nationhood, and their survival method is just a good word. Whichever side is more profitable, they will vote.

If those who come as before will be accepted, promised, and promoted, and finally Zhou Shixiang will face such a situation - although the Ming Dynasty has restored the country, but the world is still divided, and the big guys are under the banner of the Ming Dynasty, but each has its own territory, nominally subordinate to the central government established by the Taiping Army, but in fact they are all independent kingdoms.

If Zhou Shixiang wants to promote his policy and lead the rejuvenation of the Han nation, he will inevitably centralize the central government, so there will inevitably be another civil war in the future, but how many people in China can afford to consume at present!

After the death of so many people, the anti-Qing Dynasty has not succeeded, but in the future, so many people will die again to revive the nation, and the price is too great, too great.

Therefore, as early as the recovery of Nanjing, Zhou Shixiang began to think about the future. On the Beigu Mountain in Zhenjiang, he ordered the Qing general Yang Guangxiao to be killed, and a military order was made at that time, saying that those who surrendered without a fight in the future should be used; Whoever fights and surrenders, kills him. Now, he wants to add another sentence to this military order, that is, "Those who surrender in fear of power will be accepted; Whoever makes a profit will be killed. ”

Killing Zheng Sanwan and other generals, Zhou Shixiang was also selfish, that is, to take the rich land into his own hands, so as to better settle his descendants. Of course, he must not be able to say this, so he has to find some excuse to kill.

The snake can't be headless, and the killing of Zheng Sanwan and others will certainly make the surrendered army frightened, but at least it will not cause collective chaos, which allows Zhou Shixiang to deal with it calmly, or divide, or suppress, or win over. In these years, people's hearts are always uneven, solve those who are united, and there is nothing bad to solve.

After doing this, Zhou Shixiang ordered Gui Yongzhi and Dong Changqing to bury Guan Loyalty, and at the same time publicized his loyalty and righteousness, which meant that he wanted to make Guan Loyal into the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Yue Wangye.

"It is a pity that Guan is loyal to the Qing court, but he was killed by the secret decree of Shunzhi, although the marshal and the Manchu Qing Dynasty do not share the sky, but also regret the experience of Guan allegiance. Bring pen and paper! ”

Zhou Shixiang had a sad and indignant expression on his face, took the brush taken from Jiang Guozhu's Futai table from the hands of the guards, and did not wait for the guards to sharpen the ink, so he wrote four big characters on the paper with the blood of Zheng Sanwan's head - "The sun is clear!" ”

The four blood characters were written in one book, and after writing, while drying the paper, he came to Jiang Guozhu and Esehei and asked the two: "Guan Xiaozhong wrote these four big characters when he was dying, comparing himself to Yue Wumu, but I don't know if the two of them thought his experience was sad?" ”

Reversing black and white, pointing to a deer as a horse, shameless but a thief!

The forehead was black and muffled.

Jiang Guozhu glanced at the four blood words, and snorted slightly: "You carving insect tricks can only deceive ignorant people, how can you deceive people of insight in the world!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhou Shixiang was not angry, but asked Jiang Guozhu: "Are you an ignorant person or a person of insight?" ”

"Humph!"

Jiang Guozhu turned his head and did not answer.

"Whether it is an ignorant person or a person of insight, can it still be that the enemy has a mountain of ironclad evidence?" Zhou Shixiang laughed, but he stretched out his hand and pointed in front of the black forehead, and said, "Take it." ”

What to take?

His forehead was black and stunned, and he didn't know what Zhou Shixiang wanted from him.

"Didn't Fu Lin let you bring two secret decrees? There is no need to catch Ma Fengzhi, you give me the secret decree that Liang Huafeng wants to grasp the allegiance and Jiang Guozhu. ”

Hearing this, Esehei subconsciously responded: "How do you know...", he suddenly woke up and kept silent.

Jiang Guozhu trembled slightly on the side, although he knew that the emperor asked Liang Huafeng to arrest him and Guan allegiance, but he didn't want to believe that it was true. He and Guan were loyal to Suzhou, hoping that the army would cross the river, in order to let the emperor know their loyalty and forgive them. But when the forehead was black and subconsciously admitted that he had that secret purpose, it was impossible for Jiang Guozhu not to make waves in his heart.

He didn't answer, and Zhou Shixiang didn't talk to him, so he ordered his guards to search his body, but he didn't find the secret decree from him.

"It's not on you, it's on Liang Huafeng."

Zhou Shixiang pondered for a moment, then ordered to go down and let the king. The auxiliary ministers must find out the secret decree on Liang Huafeng's body.

Esehei suddenly scolded angrily: "Even if you are loyal to these rebels, what can you do if you get the secret decree?" Who can believe in you? ”

Zhou Shixiang shook his head and said: "You and Liang Huafeng have been arrested by the secret decree of Fulin, and although Guan Allegiance knows the grievances, he has not resisted and let you arrest him." But the two of you, fearing that your loyal men would rob him, killed him on the spot. Before he died, Guan allegiance to the book of sorrow was clear every day, and his subordinates heard the news to avenge him, but as a result, you fought in Suzhou City, so that my Taiping army fishermen benefited, isn't this a fact? ”

Zhou Shixiang shook the blood book in his hand in front of the black forehead: "See clearly, the blood is stained, and it hasn't been done yet!" (To be continued.) )
