The Qing army did not surrender directly, but under the leadership of Zuo Zongtang, launched a deadly charge against the Huaxia army, this suicidal jade charge, which was later widely studied and applied by the Japanese people, and gave a deep impression to the Americans in the history of the Taiping war.

The victory of the Huaxia Army was in sight, so it was somewhat lax, and as a result, it was rushed very fiercely, dozens of officers and soldiers were slaughtered, and three flying thunder cannons were discarded.

This is the result of the dying struggle will not change the whole situation, when the Huaxia army realized that there was a large Qing army is resisting, immediately, the mighty 'army surrounded,

Of the 50,000 troops, only more than 10,000 remained, and the rest crowded into the city to attack the Qing army, so the troops occupied an absolute advantage, and the chaos was won, and the Ming war was victorious, and it was impossible to stop it.

"Who are you?" Luo Yang's eyes were firmly fixed on a general, the clothes of the Qing army were worn on his body, looking bloated and embarrassed, because in the hot season, this clothes were already thin and loose, and now, there were sweat, blood stains and tears, which was too funny,

"General, general, I am a general of the Qing Dynasty, I want to kill someone at will." Please muster up some courage,

"Those who surrender will be appointed according to the original officials, and those who do not surrender will be charged with the crime of betraying the Chinese nation." Luo Yang tested the bottom line of this person,

"Ah, General, I, I, surrender." This one wept,

At the time of life and death, it is not too much to choose to surrender, anyway, the resistance has lost its unity, and Luo Yang did not reproach him harshly: "Okay, you are a general in the Qing army, and you are appointed as a regiment commander in our army, oh, do you know Lord Zuo." ”

"Lord Zuo."

"Yes, Lord Zuo Zongtang."

Seeing that Luo Yang respected Zuo Zongtang so much, the officer decisively divulged the secret,

In fact, there is no need for him to leak secrets, Zuo Zongtang is among the prisoners of war, and, because of the charge and fighting, he was injured by the flying thunder cannon of the Huaxia Army and lay on the ground in a daze.

When the battlefield was cleaned, it was almost dark, and the day's battle once again continued the myth of the Chinese army, and the last elite troops of the Qing army left in the south were eliminated.

The 18,000 elite of the Qing army, together with the 7,000 attached regimental training troops, the chief husband who transported supplies, etc., 25,140 people, were all annihilated, none of them escaped the net, during this period, some were killed by artillery fire, some were killed by foreign guns, some trampled each other to death, some were swallowed by the tide of the Qiantang River, some committed suicide, and the rest and some died the next day because of their injuries, in total, the Qing army was killed 11,000 people, and the rest were captured.

The Huaxia Army immediately launched a humanitarian rescue program, and tried its best to rescue any soldier of the Qing Army, including those long men, and placed them in a good place, using medicinal water, and reluctantly recuperating for the destruction of the city, and rescuing the injured people in a timely manner.

Zuo Zongtang was placed in a luxurious Hangzhou tyrant's house, as soon as he woke up, he banged his head against the wall and the door violently, wanting to commit suicide, there was no way, everyone had to tie him to the bed, not 'so that he had the power to move for a moment, and then, reported to Luo Yang, Luo Yang heard the news and rushed over,

"Old General Zuo, Lord Zuo." Luo Yangsan bowed, and then, arched his hands and clenched his fists: "My lord is frightened." ”

Zuo Zongtang was tied to the bed, and of course his vision was limited to a certain extent, so he could only tilt his body and face: "Who are you?" ”

"The consul of Huaxia Tian**, Rui Wang Luoyang." Saying that, Luo Yang personally stepped forward, untied him, rubbed his numb arm, and told the officers and soldiers to serve him alive: "Lord Zuo is a famous general of my Chinese country, and he is also a senior I particularly respect, you must not be rude, if anyone is rude, this king will definitely not forgive." ”

Luo Yang comforted him and checked his injuries again, fortunately it was a minor injury, a flesh injury, and it would be fine in a few days.

"With the treatment of the prince of our army, I will serve the old general Zuo."

Luo Yang's attitude made Zuo Zongtang very strange, "You, oh, Luo Yang, why don't you kill the old man, anyway, the old man will never surrender to you, if you want the old man to surrender, you can dream about it." ”

Luo Yang smiled: "I won't kill you because we admire your talent and character, as for whether you surrender or not, I'm sure you will definitely surrender." ”

"You, nonsense, the old man will not surrender even if he dies." After Zuo Zongtang was defeated, he was so angry that he had already put life and death out of the way.

"Why don't you surrender?" Luo Yang teased the veteran,

"Hmph, you are just thieves and bandits, you have no ambitions, and you can bring disaster to the country and the people, as for making meritorious contributions, serving the country and the people, you have no achievements, the old man, as a first-class courtier of the Qing Dynasty, how can you tarnish your ambition and integrity, and commit yourself to the thief's cave, even if you cut it with a thousand knives, the old man will not surrender." Zuo Zongtang said viciously,

Luo Yang smiled: "Then, Lord Zuo, if you don't surrender, we will kill your hometown in Hunan, and we will kill all your family, aren't you afraid." ”

"Hmph, the old man is loyal and dutiful to the country, although he is still alive, as for the family's affairs, he can't take care of it." Zuo Zongtang is categorical,

The generals of the surrounding Huaxia Army also thought that they could not persuade Zuo Zongtang to surrender, and even secretly prayed that Zuo Zongtang would not surrender, because in that case, they would be able to retaliate happily.

The victorious former Taiping army generals, such as Chen Kunshu, Huang Wenjin and others, all hoped to retaliate, because the Taiping army suffered too much and too cruel treatment from the Qing army in the later battles, and a large number of officers and soldiers and people, and their families were tortured and killed, which was very cruel, so the generals were impatient to wait for revenge, their eyes stared at Luo Yang to signal him, and the persuasion failed,

"Okay, Lord Zuo, it's okay if you don't surrender, but have you thought about it, what kind of people and countries are you following, and who you want to refuse." Luo Yang explained the decay and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, and made a description of the prospects of the future Chinese Heavenly Kingdom.

Zuo Zongtang was fascinated by what he heard,

"Lord Zuo, if you want to surrender, not to surrender us, not to surrender to the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom, but to surrender to the Chinese nation, surrender to the Chinese people who follow the trend, if you are a man, enthusiastic, willing to prosper the country and the nation, you will be with us, if you serve the Manchu regime and die of foolishness, it is just adding a traitor and a thief's laughing stock, Huaxia Tian ** will inevitably unify the whole country, even if you are loyal to the Qing court, it is also a rebellion against the country and the overall situation, loyal to a dynasty, and loyal to the national righteousness, presumably the old general is thorough and thinks clearly. ”

"You." Zuo Zongtang was quite touched, not only in terms of reason, but also in terms of personality, he respected Luo Yang, and this young pattern and bearing had deeply moved him.

"Okay, old general, old man, hello life and recuperation, Hangzhou has beautiful scenery, it is a good place to recuperate, the younger generation is not busy, so get up and go north immediately, begging for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, you can't be accompanied, you rest, if there is anything, you can send someone to find me, or Nanjing Li Xiucheng, or Shanghai Fengzhuhuo."

"Me."

"Oh, sir, you know Luo Bingzhang."

"Hmm."

"He has long been the governor of the northwest of our Huaxia Tian**, oh, I also warn you, if you are willing to cooperate, we can all discuss, if you are stubborn, then, 10,000 Qing prisoners of war will be slaughtered, and not a single one will be left." Luo Yang threatened and lured,
