"Zhou Shixiang, you are treacherous, you don't believe your word, you promised to give preferential treatment and reuse me on Yangcheng Lake, and I waited until I risked my life to kill Guan Allegiance and opened this Suzhou City! If it weren't for me, your Taiping army would have been able to enter Suzhou City! ”

"Thief Xiucai, you killed us, who will believe you in the future! ... You are despicable and shameless, you will not die well! ”

Zheng Sanwan and other generals who were caught by Zhou Shi's blind date guard stepped forward and scolded, they saw that the thief Xiucai really turned his face and wanted to kill them!

Ma Yulong, Zhang Feng and others regretted that their intestines were blue, and they knew that the thief Xiucai was so untrustworthy, and they would rather die in battle with their allegiance than surrender in Kaicheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Handsome? ...”

Gui Yongzhi and Dong Changqing want to persuade not to surrender, otherwise the reputation of the marshal will be very bad, and they really responded to what these generals said, who will dare to surrender on the other side of the Qing army in the future?

The thick burial tube was loyal to this hardcore traitor, but he killed a number of generals who came to surrender in the city, Zhou Shixiang's move was indeed incredible, even Jiang Guozhu and Esehei were stunned.

There was also a group of generals in the hall, and they were all shocked. Zhou Shixiang glanced at them: "This commander only punishes these few people, it has nothing to do with you, and there will be rewards for turning back." ”

When the generals heard this, they looked at each other, and no one dared to move. If you want to resist and save people, you have to think about whether they can fight the full house of ironclad guards.

Seeing that no one of his subordinates dared to rescue them, the generals were even more frightened and desperate, and several of them actually cried bitterly.

Zhou Shixiang took a few steps forward, walked in front of the generals, and said to them in a very calm tone: "When Ben Shuai arrived in Zhenjiang, countless fathers and elders in the city came to cry, what do you know?" ”

The generals looked at each other, and the people of Zhenjiang cried and told them what was going on. Zheng Sanwan thought of something, and his face couldn't help but turn white.

"Those fathers always want Ben Shuai to find their wives for them, find their daughters, and avenge their dead relatives... Seeing that they were pitiful, Ben Shuai agreed to them, so..."

When Zhou Shixiang said this, he looked at these generals.

After the Zheng army withdrew from Nanjing, Guan Xiaozhong led the army to recover Zhenjiang and the cities south of the Yangtze River that were occupied by the Zheng army. However, in each place, the rulers routinely abducted the women of the city, and in the end these women were either destroyed to death or desolate. Those who survived by luck were mostly sold to prostitutes by the Qing army. It can be said that the Qing army persecuted the people of Jiangnan all the way from Nanjing to the east, causing countless wives to be separated and causing serious evils. Now in the Qing army camp in Suzhou City, there are still more than 1,000 poor women who are locked up together like pigs and dogs, doing only one thing a day, and being plagued by the Qing soldiers on duty.

It's just that this kind of thing is the practice of the Qing army, and the Qing court acquiesced in this matter from top to bottom, that is, many generals in the Taiping army had done this thing back then, so Gui Yongzhi and others did not think so, and the commander used this reason to kill the general. After all, it is really strictly calculated, and half of the generals in the Taiping army should be killed. The generals of the Qing army in Jiangbei and other places should be killed, in that case, wouldn't these Qing generals and the Taiping army be forced to fight to the death? That's unwise!

Sure enough, some of the generals were not convinced, saying that this was the practice of the Qing army, and it was an order to manage allegiance, they just did what they were ordered, that is, Zhou Shixiang really wanted to avenge those people, and this evil allegiance had been killed, and he could give an explanation to the people of Jiangnan. And these people do not deserve death, if Zhou Shixiang is willing to spare them, they can use all their wealth to compensate those people.

"There are some things that money can't solve."

Zhou Shixiang shook his head, leaned forward slightly, and said to these generals in a very low voice: "The key is that if you don't die, this handsome will be uneasy... There are tens of thousands of of your subordinates in Suzhou City, if you don't kill you, how can Ben Shuai return to Nanjing with confidence? How can you firmly grasp Jiangnan? Now that the Tartar army is in Jiangbei, you say, do you believe that Ben Shuai will die with me, or do you believe that you will stab me again when Ben Shuai is unfavorable? ”

This time is different from the past, in the past, Zhou Shi was compared to the surrender of the army and the generals, and he was accepted and reused, but now, he can no longer be as before. Jiangnan is the world's wealth, but also the Taiping army in the future source of money and food, as the size of the Taiping army continues to grow, the territory continues to increase, to bring Zhou Shixiang in addition to the huge political and military benefits, but also bring a huge financial burden.

It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, Zhou Shixiang will rely on Jiangnan's wealth to raise the army, rather than relying on Guangdong and even more distant Annan, because the transportation of this era is really backward, and before there is a strong navy and a huge scale of shipping, Jiangnan must be the core driving force of the Taiping army's war machine.

With such a heavy land, how could Zhou Shixiang rest assured that he would hand it over to a group of rebellious generals? They can surrender today because the Taiping army is powerful, what if the Taiping army is defeated?

Zhou Shixiang didn't dare to take this risk, and he couldn't take this risk, so he had to get rid of these demotes. In a way, these generals have become a group, and they have become an inseparable group when they conspire to kill Guan Allegiance and Xiancheng. If this group is only these few people, it is natural to have no worries, but this group has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhou Shixiang can only use less than 30,000 troops now.

Naturally, this became a sharp point.

On the side of the collapse, how can you allow others to sleep soundly, and how much money and food are heavy?

If they are used to hand over the area of Suzhou to them as promised, then who will pay the money and taxes here?

Because of the limited number of troops, Zhou Shixiang had to hand over the Zhijiang River to Ma Fengzhi, and then hand over the Jiangnan to Zheng Sanwan and other generals.

Moreover, a group of generals didn't do anything, only opened a city, and they did their best, so what do the generals in the Taiping Army think of the dead generals?

After a while in Yangcheng Lake that day, Zhou Shixiang did not have the idea of killing this general, but these people were not interested and were willing to change their banners and return to Ming, but they wanted to follow the example of Ma Fengzhi, get the best benefits, and be self-contained, which made Zhou Shixiang have a killing opportunity.

It is true that if he agreed to surrender to the general, but turned around and killed people, the reputation of this matter will be very bad, and it will definitely make some wait-and-see generals in the Qing army hesitate, but Zhou Shixiang always firmly believes that as long as his sword is faster than that of the Manchurians, then what he does today is a righteous act praised by everyone, not a way to bring about his own destruction.

No matter how bad it is, I'm better than the two young people who are blessed, right? That kid copied all the loyal servants such as Lang Tingzuo and Shuo Erhui.

Zhou Shixiang smiled self-deprecatingly, waved his hand and dragged the generals out, and the generals cursed repeatedly. After a while, there was a scream outside the hall, and a few human heads were presented later. (To be continued.) )
