Chapter 805: Whoever commits iniquity, will suffer
Jiang Guozhu was shaken, although in the end he still did not give a clear answer whether he was willing to surrender or not, but even the forehead black around him knew that he had surrendered. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Zhou Shixiang's eyes moved from Jiang Guozhu to Esehei, Esehei thought that the other party was also trying to persuade him to surrender, but he didn't want the other party to wave his hand and let people take him down, and he was immediately escorted to Nanjing.
King. The assistant minister lived up to his expectations, captured the seriously injured Liang Huafeng, and searched for the secret decree of Shunzhi from him. Most of the more than 600 Han troops were killed and wounded, and the remaining more than 100 surrendered.
Liang Huafeng was carried in front of Zhou Shixiang, his injuries were very serious, he was stabbed in the chest, speared in the back, and hit in his right leg. Blood dripped from the door of the governor's yamen to the lobby.
When Liang Huafeng's gaze hit Jiang Guozhu's face, Jiang Guozhu blushed, but immediately adjusted his mentality, since he had decided to surrender, why should he care about Liang Huafeng's gaze. He is now worried about whether Zhou Shixiang will also persuade Liang Huafeng to surrender, so it will be difficult to deal with the death of allegiance.
Fortunately, Zhou Shixiang did not mean to persuade Liang Huafeng to surrender, but ordered someone to carry him down for a little bandaging and treatment, and then escorted him to Nanjing with Esehei.
King. The auxiliary minister said that Liang Huafeng was already half dead, why did he need to treat his injuries, and he was pulled down when he died. Zhou Shixiang said that this person is of great use, Wang. The assistant minister asked what was the use, but Zhou Shixiang smiled but did not answer.
Suna and other generals also rushed from all over at this time, because of the cooperation of the Qing army, at this time, most of the people in Suzhou City in their sleep did not know that the city had changed owners. In addition, the Taiping Army had strict military discipline and did not commit any offence against the people, and this famous city in the south of the Yangtze River could be described as "peaceful" in the hands of the Taiping Army.
Suna and the others already knew that Zhao Sanwan and the others would be killed, although they were stunned, but it was good to kill them, so as to save these people from making trouble in the future.
Zhou Shixiang ordered to distribute silver to the Qing troops in each battalion, and the silver was taken from the governor's treasury of Jiang Guozhu, if it was not enough, those killed generals must have it in their hands. These people followed Guan Loyalty's allegiance all the way from Zhenjiang to Suzhou, which is not a robbed belly. This would be a good time to use the oil and water they had worked so hard to scavenge to appease their men.
Zhou Shixiang also ordered the new town and the sixth town to select 2,000 from the army to replenish it, and send another batch to Zhenjiang to supplement the third town, and bring the rest back to Nanjing. In particular, he exhorted those who surrendered to the army but were unwilling to obey, regardless of officers and soldiers, to rectify the law on the spot, and absolutely not tolerate them. As for the masters in the camp who were forcibly recruited by the Qing army, one of them gave fifty coppers and ordered each to go back to his own house.
"I intend to go back to Nanjing tomorrow, Suzhou is guarded by the sixth town, and the counties near the left will also send troops to receive it, and the original officials and others can use it, but if it is not available, it will be appointed by the governor yamen later." After speaking, Zhou Shixiang looked at Suna, "Suzhou will be handed over to you, if there is any problem, I will only ask you." ”
"Don't worry, Dashuai, with my sixth town, no one wants to snatch Suzhou City from me!"
Suna is very happy, there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, but he didn't expect the handsome man to trust himself so much, and he handed over such a good place to himself to guard, and he was quite moved in his heart. He is a native of Manchuria, and his identity is very different in the Taiping Army, but since his surrender, he has not been neglected and idle because of his identity, but has been entrusted with reuse, compared to being in Manchuria, which makes him more willing to die for Zhou Shixiang. In addition to the fact that there is no way out, it is also the death of a confidant.
Qiu Guoliangyu, the third town of the C Brigade Brigade School, said that there were a large number of women in the Qing military camp that they had taken captive from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he asked how to resettle them.
Zhou Shixiang thought for a while and instructed Qiu Guoliang: "Ask where those women's hometowns are, and if there are those who wish to return to their hometowns, you organize special personnel to escort them back to their hometowns and hand them over to their families." If you have no family..."
If there is no family arrangement, Zhou Shixiang will really have a headache. In the past, when he disposed of the Manchurian women in Manchu in Guangzhou, he wanted to marry these Manchu women to the sergeants and soldiers of the army, but he did not want to meet with the unanimous opposition of the soldiers, and almost none of them were willing to take these Manchu women as wives. In the end, I had no choice but to divide the Manchu women to the people through the Guangzhou Mansion and give them to those singles as wives, so there were many scenes of "old and young". In the end, those who couldn't even be divided by the people were arranged in Xiangshan County, and were given acres of land like the Han people, and ordered them to support themselves. I heard that there is an Aixin Jueluo woman whose grandfather is the younger brother of the old Nu Hachi Yarhaqi and a scoundrel named Zhang Si, if you count it, then Zhang Si is the imperial prince of the Qing Dynasty.
It is obviously not feasible to give homeless women to sergeants as wives, after all, these women have caused the Qing army a terrible scourge, and some of them are even sick, and a considerable part of them may not be able to raise them again in the future. Forcibly allocating them to soldiers who were born and died with them must be irresponsible to their subordinates. The soldiers put their heads up and worked hard, but in the end, the marshal forced them into a group of broken flowers and willows, which must have complained in their hearts. If he really did this, Zhou Shixiang couldn't afford these soldiers.
Jiang Guozhu, who has adapted to his mentality, also raised a concern, that is, those women who have a home to return to, I am afraid that many people will not be able to enter the house in the end.
Zhou Shixiang was stunned, and immediately understood what Jiang Guozhu was referring to. The land south of the Yangtze River is not as wide as Liangguang and Huguang, and at the same time, the style of literature is flourishing, and the style of science is also flourishing, and the women's name festival is very important. Some families are open-minded and can take back their relatives, but some families are afraid that this will be sad, crying and begging the Taiping Army to save people for them, but the Taiping Army really wants to send people, and these people may have another mentality. The husband will divorce his wife because he can't stand the fingers of relatives, friends, and neighbors, and the father will also force his daughter to leave the house because he can't stand the shame.
People are rescued, but in the end they still can't escape death, this is definitely what Zhou Shixiang doesn't want to see, and some things can't be changed by the government's intervention. At least, at the moment, Zhou Shixiang does not have the ability to change some of the preconceived notions of this era.
Enlightenment is based on the work of education from generation to generation, not by a decree.
Jiang Guozhu offered his idea, and he said: "The lower officials think that they might as well match these women with those who have been demoted to the army. ”
"Rationing a soldier as a wife?" Zhou Shixiang was stunned and thought about the feasibility of this method.
King. The assistant minister said on the side that this method was good, and he said: "Whoever does the sin, he will suffer." ”
"That's fine."
Zhou Shixiang couldn't think of a better way, so he instructed Qiu Guoliang: "Just do what Governor Jiang wants, of course, those who are willing to go home will send them home first, and you let the people who send them back not be in a hurry to come back, observe for a few days, confirm that these women will not be forced by the family to return again, otherwise, bring people back, and then be married to the army." After a pause, he added, "Those who dare to stop it will be regarded as a colleague." ”
Zhou Shixiang asked Jiang Guozhu to come forward to calm the hearts of the people in the city, and asked Lang Zhong of the medical hall to treat those poor women.
The next day, when Zhou Shixiang was about to return to Nanjing, the Military Intelligence Department sent news that Qian Qianyi was coming from Changshu. (To be continued.) )
