"There are more than 280 captured green battalion soldiers, and more than 170 of them were injured on the dog Tartar company of the Han Army Banner, and dozens of county officials were also arrested."

"Our casualties are not small, the one who was killed and wounded in the battle is afraid that there are a small hundred, and the dead will be carried to the outside of the city to find a place to make a fire and burn it, and bring the ashes to his family, and the injured will be treated, if it can't be cured, give it a good time, so as not to suffer alive."

"The knives and spears of the green camp are all picked up, according to the orders of thousands of households, I asked someone to collect the fire guns used by the Tartars of the Han Army Banner, there are more than 200 rods in total, and the medicine and everything are also put away as much as possible, there are not many of them, but there are dozens of cotton armors, and there are also a lot of discarded weapons in the green camp warehouse, all of which are some broken copper and iron or something, which will be counted by my subordinates one by one."

"The county government has been sealed, and the silver and grain in the treasury have been sent to see it, and the county magistrate hanged himself in the back office."

"Song Erniu and Jiang Yi brothers have taken people to maintain order in the city, Qianhu can rest assured, Chen Mo's kid has already taken his subordinates out of the city, and he will definitely not dare to mess around this time."

"Oh, by the way, Brother Ge Zheng led people to the west to chase the Tartar leader, but I think eighty percent can't catch up, the fleeing Tartars are all riding horses, Brother Ge where can they catch up with them on their two legs. Do you want to send someone to let Brother Ge come back? ”

“”

Tie Yi was reporting, Zhou Shixiang was listening, and soon the two arrived in Dongcheng, where there was a dense crowd of people kneeling. All around were Taiping troops with swords and spears, and there was also a row of archers standing on the city walls.

Some of the captives had the courage to glance around, but they quickly buried them, for they saw that the Ming army was dragging the corpses out of the city gate. The pigtails on the corpse's head made it easy for them to tell who they were. I didn't want to be a corpse dragged on the carriage, so I could only kneel honestly.

Li Fuguo was also taken to Dongcheng, where he knelt at the front of the crowd, and he didn't get special treatment at all because of his identity as President Qian, and knelt on the ground honestly.

Seeing Tie Yi accompanying Zhou Shixiang to arrive, Qin Zhisheng and Shao Jiugong, who had just arrived, hurriedly greeted them, and after the two gave a military salute, Zhou Shixiang instructed them: "Divide the prisoners into one point." ”

"One point?" Shao Jiugong was stunned: "How to divide it?" ”

Zhou Shixiang said coldly: "The flag soldiers return to the flag soldiers, and the battalion soldiers return to the battalion soldiers." ”

"Flag soldiers to flag soldiers, battalion soldiers to battalion soldiers?"

Shao Jiugong and Qin Zhisheng glanced at each other, and they both knew what Lord Qianhu was going to do, so they were busy arranging.

Zhou Shixiang's personal soldiers saw that Qianhu had no place to sit, so they went to find a chair to come over, and Zhou Shixiang sat down when he saw this, looking at Qin Zhisheng and Shao Jiu centimeters.

"All together, the flag soldiers stand here, and the battalion soldiers stand over there!"

Qin Zhisheng and Shao Jiugong moved quickly, and under the scolding and pushing of the Taiping army, the hundreds of surrendered Qing troops were quickly divided into two sides, with the Han army with blue flags on one side and the green battalion garrisoned by Gaoyao on the other.

The flag soldiers and battalion soldiers didn't know what the Taiping army was doing separately, and seeing that the Taiping troops around them were all looking at them with fierce eyes, some people had begun to mumble and be scared in their hearts, even Li Fuguo was also a little panicked, and he had the courage to ask a Taiping army commander on the side: "What are you going to do?" ”

The commander glared at him and didn't tell him anything, and the Taiping army on the side looked at Li Fuguo's expression even more unkindly, which made Li Qian, who thought that his life could be saved, jumped wildly: The Ming army wants to kill prisoners?

Just when Li Fuguo and the battalion soldiers and flag soldiers were nervous, someone suddenly shouted, "Give the knife to the people of the green battalion!" Then dozens of Taiping soldiers rushed over and threw the captured knives in the open space in front of the Green Battalion.

Someone shouted: "Green battalion, pick up the knife!" ”

Pick up the knife?

Li Fuguo and the green battalion soldiers looked at each other, looking at the bloodstained long knives on the ground in a daze, no one knew what the Ming army had in mind, so no one dared to pick it up.

The green battalion didn't dare to pick up the knife, and the flag soldiers were all discolored, and some of the brains turned quickly to understand what the Ming army wanted to do when they asked the green battalion to pick up the knife.

"Green Battalion's knife picked up! Hurry up!"

Shao Jiugong saw that the green battalion soldiers were not moving, so he couldn't help but "puff", pulled his sleeves and dragged a battalion soldier over, and then pressed him to the ground, stepped on his left hand, and shouted: "You him. Mother. Pick it up or not! ”

"I'll pick it up, I'll pick it up, adults quickly loosen their feet, let go of their feet!"

The green battalion soldier was trampled on by Shao Jiugong and gritted his teeth, hurriedly picked up a long knife in his hand with his right hand, saw that he took it, Shao Jiugong raised his foot and let him up, and then looked at those green battalion soldiers viciously, and scolded: "Learn from him, pick up the knife, if anyone doesn't pick it up, Lao Tzu will cut off his head!" ”

When the green battalion soldiers saw the murderous statue of Shao Jiugong, and then looked at the knife on the ground and the unlucky companion, where did they dare not take it, they ran up and picked up the knife in their hands, and even Li Fuguo subconsciously ran to the front to pick up a knife. has a knife in his hand, but he is thinking in his heart that if the Ming army really wants to kill the prisoners, then he will have to fight with them no matter what. After thinking about it again, if the Ming army wanted to kill them, why should they give them back the knife, isn't this a superfluous move to take off their pants and fart?

What does the Ming army want to do?

Not only Li Fuguo was puzzled, but all the green battalion soldiers were puzzled, but many of those flag soldiers were already trembling with their legs.

Seeing that the green battalion soldiers all had knives in their hands, Shao Jiugong nodded with satisfaction, walked to Zhou Shixiang's side and asked, "The matter has been done, please give an order from Lord Qianhu." ”

Zhou Shixiang hummed, got up and walked to the green battalion soldiers, and then raised his voice and said to them: "My Ming people are all Han people, but these banner soldiers have turned their backs on their ancestors, and are willing to recognize thieves as their fathers and be accomplices in the slaughter of my Han people by foreign races, so they are no longer worthy of being Han people, they all deserve to die!" Your green battalion is also aiding and abusing, and your hands are stained with the blood of my Ming soldiers and civilians, and you all deserve to die! ”

As soon as these words came out, a group of flag soldiers and battalion soldiers were suddenly frightened, Li Fuguo gritted his teeth, and just waited for the Ming army to make a move, and he was going to fight with the Ming army. When he was frightened, he heard the general of the Ming army say again: "But the green battalion is different from the banner soldiers, in the eyes of the banner people, you are still Han people, so you will not want to abuse. Kill, but to give you green battalion soldiers a chance, a chance to let you be Han again! Speaking of this, Zhou Shixiang turned his words around, and said fiercely to the group of flag soldiers: "Listen to the green battalion, the head of a flag soldier is exchanged for your life, and if you want to live, you can do it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, before the green camp could react, someone among the banner soldiers howled and knelt on the ground and shouted to Zhou Shixiang: "General, the little ones are Han people, and the little ones are also Han people!" ”
