"Panic beachhead said panic, zero Ding Yang sighed zero Ding.

Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat. ”

Sun Sitai put forward a request before being sentenced, that is, to face the direction of Beijing three times and then go to death, in addition, he recited the Southern Song Dynasty's "Crossing Zero Ding Yang" by Wen Tianxiang, the famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, and chanted so sad and strong, like a hero of great national integrity.

At this scene, Zhou Shixiang laughed instead of being angry, and ordered someone to press Sun Sitai's head in the direction of Anlong Mansion in Guizhou, and then said loudly in his ear: "You are a Han, why do you recognize a thief as your father!" Under the Nine Springs, what face do you have to meet the ancestors of your Sun family! ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, the knife fell, and his head was broken.

"I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, Wen Tianxiang's "Crossing Zero Ding Yang" was ruined by you, a traitor!"

Zhou Shixiang spat and raised his foot to kick Sun Sitai, who was dying and had never forgotten the Qing Dynasty, into the forest in the distance.

"The king takes revenge, only punishes the Tartars and the evil, and the rest don't ask, and will return to himself later."

Zhou Shixiang ordered the separation of his subordinates, the nursing home, and the families of those who were beheaded, and ordered these people to take their wives and children and leave on their own. In an instant, most of the crowd dispersed, including men and women, and only a few dozen people remained.

For the remaining relatives who have treacherous and evil relatives, Zhou Shixiang's disposition is that the women are released, and the men, those who are over twelve years old will be executed, and those under twelve years old will be released.

Zhou Shixiang originally wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but because of the humane concept of later generations, he still softened his heart, and did not kill all the descendants of these traitors, but limited the condition of survival to the threshold of twelve years old.

Those who are more than twelve years old probably have memories, and these teenagers who witnessed their father's tragic death at the hands of the Ming army are bound to remember it for the rest of their lives, and it can be basically concluded that these teenagers will be 100% hostile to the Ming army when they grow up, so it is best to execute them while they are not yet adults. It doesn't matter much if children under the age of twelve let them live, and the years may dilute their vague memories.

In the crying and crying for mercy, more than 20 men were executed, and the rest of the people were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, and the woman tightly covered the small mouth of the baby in her arms, lest the child would cry.

Zhou Shixiang did not break his promise, he let go of these women and children, and ordered them to go to Zhaoqing Mansion. However, the masked man seemed to have a lot of criticism about Zhou Shixiang's treatment, but he didn't dare to object to it in person, just swished at the women and children who disappeared into the night

Hundreds of carriages and horses were crammed under a hillside in the east of Deqing City, and a group of soldiers silently divided the carriage in half.

"My Taiping Camp is a letter of faith, and I have agreed with Mr. Tang Qian that half of a family is half of a family, and I will never ask for more than one in Taiping Camp."

Zhou Shixiang was very generous to Tang Sanshui's representative Song Qian, and at the same time expressed extreme recognition of the other party's name: Send money, good, good!

Hearing this, Song Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhou Shixiang would break his promise, after all, this time it was a big deal, and most of the rich people in the city were piled up on these carriages that were robbed, and their value was immeasurable, and anyone should be tempted. Taiping Camp didn't want much, which naturally made him overjoyed. Secretly happy in his heart, he still has to say the scene on his lips, he smiled and said: "Your army is more powerful, and it doesn't matter if you take more." ”

"Hey, what's that?" Zhou Shixiang waved his hand, and said very dissatisfied: "Half of a good family is half of a family, what can I do more?" If it weren't for Tang Qian's letter, would I have been able to make this fortune? Besides, your Deqing Green Camp has also made a great effort from it, and my Taiping Camp has no reason to take more, okay, this matter is so decided, half of the family. ”

Zhou Shixiang said categorically, he can't refuse, when it comes to this, Song Qian is no longer hypocritical and meaningful, and he is not polite at the moment, and said with a smile: "Thank you to the general on behalf of my family!" ”

"Well said, well said."

Zhou Shixiang snorted, deliberately turned his gaze to his own pile of carriages, seeing this, Song Qian didn't say a word, and shouted at his subordinates as soon as he grabbed his sleeves: "Brothers, be smart with your hands and feet, and move everything into the city before dawn!" Mr. Qian said that everyone has a share in this great wealth! ”

"Brothers, my lord said, everyone has a share, give me some strength, don't make Mr. Qian wait in a hurry!"

Hundreds of soldiers wearing Ming army uniforms couldn't wait to take off their clothes, which was the uniform of the Deqing Green Battalion, cheering, one by one excitedly rushed to the carriage, and then you pulled me to set off to Deqing City.

Here, the soldiers of the Taiping Battalion also drove the carriage to the West River, and both sides set off at the same time, and after a while, hundreds of carriages were emptied, and only the wheel prints on the ground confirmed that there were many vehicles in this place before.

Zhou Shixiang walked over the big green horse to the masked man who was still standing there, arched his hand at him, and thanked: "Brother Wu, thank you for today's events!" ”

"I can't thank you for your efforts." The masked man said and ripped off the black cloth on his face, who is not the county Chengwu longevity of Deqing!

Zhou Shixiang nodded, and said: "Then the aftermath will have to worry about Lao Luzhi County." ”

Wu Changshou smiled: "I don't have to worry about it, but I have to ask Brother Zhou to say a few more good words from General Le Bing, Deqing is a small city after all, and I don't see how much your army can gain when it is defeated, if it attracts the two princes to lead the troops, it will be worth the loss." Isn't it beautiful to be like today, hello to me? ”

Zhou Shixiang made a look of deep disapproval, and said happily: "If it weren't for the great loss of grain and grass in the retreat at the beginning of the year, where would the chief soldier come to Deqing." However, this time the capture is not small, the chief soldier will definitely be satisfied, although the martial brother went back and said to Lu Zhixian, let him put a hundred hearts, this Deqing City chief soldier will definitely not come again! ”

With this guarantee, Wu Changshou was completely relieved, and hurriedly said: "Then thank you Brother Zhou for your kind words from it!" ”

"It's here, I'll go back and meet the chief soldier, Brother Wu, and Zhou to say goodbye!"

"Brother Zhou, go slowly!"

After seeing Zhou Shixiang leave with others, Wu Changshou did not leave immediately, but recruited two cronies, whispered to them and took people back to the city

At the Green Camp Station, Lu Gongming, the magistrate of the county, was restless in the house, looking at the door from time to time, and the tea bowls on the table were added and added, but his mouth was still very dry. Finally, Tang Sanshui's figure appeared in sight.

"Lord Tang, you're finally back!" After the person entered the house, Lu Gongming grabbed his sleeve and asked urgently, "Is everything done?" ”

Tang Sanshui took a sip of tea first, and Fang nodded heavily in the other party's extremely expectant eyes, and said, "Everything is done, and the Ming army will withdraw tomorrow." ”

"Good, good, good, good!"

Lu Gongming couldn't contain the excitement in his heart, rubbing his hands with a smile, the retreat of the Ming army meant that his head was saved, and he could finally sleep well.

Tang Sanshui said in a low voice: "The Taiping Camp has not broken its promise, the east and west families are half each, and this will have already been pulled into the city." ”

Hearing this, Lu Gongming was stunned, and immediately lowered his voice and said: "Things must be hidden in a safe place first, and then find someone to transport them to the provincial capital to sell after the rumors, otherwise it will be a life talisman if you put it in your hand!" ”

"Lord Lu, don't worry, I have asked someone to do this, it is all trustworthy, and I guarantee that it will be done properly."

"Hmm." Lu Gongming settled his mind, groaned slightly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said quite unpredictably: "Things have to be turned into silver in their hands to make people steady, and being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and this official is not exempt from vulgarity." ”

"What the adults said is exactly what Tang thinks."

Tang Sanshui and Lu Gongming chuckled together, but then the two of them felt a little embarrassed, and they stopped laughing a few times.

Seeing Lu Gongming's appearance on the drum, Tang Sanshui smiled secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The Ming army will retire tomorrow, and adults must think about how to write this official document." ”

Lu Gongming slapped the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a great victory!" ”

"I can't help it!"

Lu Gongming wanted to report a great victory, but Tang Sanshui was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped it, he said: "There is merit, but it can't be called a great victory, Lord Lu is better to keep a low profile, it's not a good thing to be too eye-catching, after all, it's here."

Lu Gongming came to his senses, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, you can't be too ostentatious, too ostentatious is easy to make people jealous." ”

At that moment, they discussed with Tang Sanshui how to write the official documents reported to the government and the provincial capital, but the two of them did not mention the gentry who went out of the city.

After half a pillar of incense, Lu Zhixian returned to the county office in a carriage with a satisfied face, and hugged the old wife to linger on the side, causing the old wife to scold, but Lu Zhixian scolded more and more energetically, tossing until dawn, and it was really refreshing to meet people's happy events.

The next day, the Ming army really retreated, Lu Zhixian, Tang Qian, the officers and soldiers of the green battalion and the young men defending the city whipped to celebrate, the people in the city were happy, and the atmosphere on the street was like the New Year.

In the afternoon, some people went to the county government to report the case, saying that a large number of dead bodies were found outside the city, Lu Zhixian was shocked when he heard the news, and urgently ordered the county Chengwu Changshou to lead the arrester to investigate, and Tang Sanshui, the commander of the green camp, also sent soldiers to investigate.

On the second day, Deqing Zhixian and Tang Sanshui, the commander of the garrison green battalion, jointly reported to Zhaoqing Mansion and the General Military Office: Le Tongwu under the command of Li Dingguo of the Southern Ming Dynasty led troops to attack from Gaozhou, first to capture Luoding, and then to attack Deqing, and wanted to march into Zhaoqing Mansion in a big way, intending to wave his army to Guangzhou again. Xingdeqing heard the alarm in time, the officers and soldiers of the green battalion stationed in the city fought bravely to the death, the people in the city were unwilling to become thieves, and spontaneously organized young and strong volunteers to go to the city, after two days and two nights of death, repelled several attacks by the Ming army, and the Ming army was hopeless to seize the city and was forced to retreat due to the lack of food and grass. The officers and soldiers of this battle were brave, fearless in the face of danger, and the garrison Zhang Dade took the lead, thinking that the soldiers were exemplary, and held on to the city for two days, unfortunately he was killed by an arrow, and he was specially reported to the imperial court for commendation and compensation.

Along with the official report of victory, there was another official letter to the Zhaoqing Mansion, which said that when the Ming army approached Deqing in a big way, there were wealthy merchants in the city who were afraid of the momentum of the Ming army, and bribed the guards to go out of the city without permission, but they were intercepted and killed by the vanguard of the Ming army on the way, and dozens of corpses were killed, and the soft property they carried was looted by the Ming army.

While the official document was still on the way, Zhou Shixiang led the "Li Dingguo Army" on the official document on the way to Luoding.
