It wasn't until noon that the number of victims last night was counted. The results were much better than Zhou Shixiang expected, with only about 100 Luoding residents killed in the fire, more than 300 injured, and more than 100 killed by Qing troops and robbers. This result is not far from the thousand casualties estimated by Zhou Shixiang in advance, and he can barely feel better.

On the side of the Qing army, there were 150 or 60 corpses carried out from the ruins of the barracks alone, and most of them were burned to the point of not being human. In addition, more than 100 corpses were found in the city one after another, and the headless ones were all carried together. Combined with the number of captives who surrendered, the approximate number was consistent with the number of Qing troops, and the difference was only twenty or thirty, presumably hidden among the people.

Among the people in Daqiao Mountain, Zhao Sihai was more careful, so Zhou Shixiang asked him to take people to the people to screen and find out the Qing troops who were hiding among the people one by one, so that they would not have the opportunity to sneak out of the city to report the news. In order to avoid panicking the people due to the search operation, Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to send a few officials to assist.

Compared with those Qing soldiers who hid among the people, the nearly 100 Qing army captives in the Zhizhou Yamen were the real threat, so Hu Boss let go of the affairs of the city to Song Xianggong and Zhou Shixiang to do, and he led people to stay in the yamen to guard, and always remained mysterious, so that the captives led by Shao Jiugong could not know the truth, so as to avoid chaos.

In order to increase the effect of shock, Zhou Shixiang also took a team of young men to go back and forth in the Zhizhou Yamen many times, and asked Ge Wu to call this "general" and that "chief soldier" from time to time in places where the captives could not see, and played the play to the fullest. As a result, the captives did not dare to act rashly, thinking that the city was really the old thief Li Dingguo's brigade, and they sat honestly in the cell one by one, and they didn't even dare to talk in a whisper.

According to Boss Hu's meaning, the number of captives is several times that of his own family, and it is too dangerous to leave them in the city, and it is safe to slaughter them all, but Zhou Shixiang resolutely disagrees with this, and Song Xianggong also said that it is ominous to kill prisoners, and under the persuasion of the two of them, Boss Hu can only press down the idea of killing, urging the two of them to quickly settle down in the city, and then discuss what to do next

When Peng Dazhu led people to search the Zhizhou Yamen, he found that there were some military uniforms and flags of the Ming army piled up in a room, and called the officials to inquire and learned that these military uniforms were left by Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses when they retreated at the beginning of the year, and there were only three or four hundred pieces in total, and they were discarded by Li Dingguo's army because they were seriously damaged.

After Kong Guoliang led the Jiangxi Green Battalion to garrison Luoding, in addition to occupying the Zhizhou Yamen, which had no owner for the time being, as a sleeping place, he didn't care about other things in the yamen, let alone a bunch of tattered clothes. The small officials did not have the backbone of the Shangguan master, and they felt weak in their hearts every day against Kong Guoliang, the Qiu Baqian, and naturally they would not talk much, so they left these Ming army uniforms.

The little official saw that Zhou Shixiang had been staring at these tattered clothes, thinking that he was disgusted, and hurriedly said that he would take someone to clean it up, but Zhou Shixiang stopped him, and then went to the house to take a few to see.

These uniforms were badly damaged, some of them were stained with blood, and they smelled a fishy smell in the black, presumably worn by wounded soldiers. The flags were also broken, or had a hole torn, or a corner was missing, and none of them were intact. However, if they are slightly repaired, these clothes and flags may not be useless.

At present, the people of Daqiao Mountain still do not take off their true colors of bandits, and if they want to transform them into real soldiers, they must first have a complete military uniform, so that they can slowly change their roles towards the Ming army. Otherwise, they are still dressed like bandits, and you just preach in their ears all day long, and these people will not treat themselves as Ming soldiers.

People want clothes, and Buddhas want gold.

Moreover, the strength of Daqiao Mountain was too weak, and there was a serious shortage of manpower, so it was impossible to take the initiative to attack the Qing army, and it was impossible to rely on them to hold Luoding, so it was definitely necessary to recruit new soldiers in Luoding City to expand its strength. In this way, military uniforms are particularly important and indispensable, after all, there is no child of a good family in this world who is willing to follow a gang of bandits.

After making up his mind to withdraw from the house, Zhou Shixiang instructed the little official to find some women who knew how to be popular, and then take all the clothes and throw them into a pot to boil them in hot water, and then sew them up with needles and threads after drying them, and ask Lord Song for the cloth that needed to be sewn.

"Hey, let's do it!"

The little official didn't know what the young "Ming Army" general in front of him was doing to mend these torn clothes, but the other party ordered, and there was a fierce man with a knife beside him, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he went to find someone when he answered.

This Luo Ding Zhizhou Yamen occupies a lot of land, plus the prison cells in the front and back of the yamen, there can be hundreds of large and small houses, some are empty, and some are stacked with things. Zhou Shixiang couldn't check them one by one for a while, so he asked Peng Dazhu to be in charge of this matter. Tell him not to take care of what he doesn't need if he doesn't need it, but if he can use it, he must keep it in the book.

Zhou Shixiang originally hoped to find a large sum of silver from the treasury of the Zhizhou Yamen, but Peng Dazhu searched again and again and found nothing. As a last resort, I had to go to Song Xianggong with a depressed stomach and tell him about it, but I didn't want the other party to have a look of "I already knew", so I couldn't help but be surprised, and asked Song Xianggong what was going on,

Song Xianggong smiled and told him that this Luo Ding was easy to get from the hands of the Ming army to the hands of the Qing army for only three months, and the Ming army was also asked to take away the silver before, but the remaining points were also copied by the Qing army who came later, where would there be silver waiting for them!

Zhou Shixiang is right to think about it, he has robbed it a few times, and it is strange that there is still silver!

But if you think about it again, you are still unwilling, if you can't copy the silver in the yamen, Ge Wu's gang will definitely shout to rob the people, and this matter is the last thing Zhou Shixiang wants to see. If you want to stop Ge Wu from plundering the people, you must have enough silver to feed them, otherwise everything you say is false.

There is no silver, and it can't be delayed any longer, Zhou Shixiang is a little anxious.

When Song Xianggong saw him like this, he didn't hang him, and said with a smile: "There is no one in the treasury, but others have it." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shixiang suddenly came to his senses and said busily: "Mr. Song, don't sell Guanzi, I'm in a hurry." ”

Song Xianggong said: "I heard from the people in this yamen that Kong Guoliang brought a sum of silver when they came to Luo, and I heard that it was Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan in Guangzhou, who sent the allocated silver, and originally this silver should have been sent to those soldiers, but Kong Guoliang relied on his eldest brother Kong Guozhi to be the general soldier of Southern Jiangxi, so he swallowed the silver, and kept it in his hand and did not send it down. ”

"And such good things!" Zhou Shixiang was overjoyed, "How many?" ”
