Chapter 70: Ling Chi is executed

Hearing the news that Guan Xiaozhong was going to be executed by Ling Chi was like the wind blowing through the city of Nanjing, the people who persecuted him all flocked to Taipingmen when they heard it, all in order to take care of Zhongxiao and subdue the law, so as to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

When Guan Zhongxiao was escorted by the guards, he was already so frightened that he peed his pants.

Seeing Xingtai, Guan Zhongxiao, who had been weak in his legs, didn't know where the strength suddenly came from, so he pushed away the escorted guards, turned around and wanted to escape.

But Guan Zhongxiao didn't want to think about what kind of place this was and who were around him.

As soon as he ran a few steps, the onlookers saw that he was about to run, and immediately rushed over and pounced on him.

If it weren't for the guards who kept shouting: "Don't fight, don't fight again, he will still be executed, don't let him die so comfortably!" ”

Otherwise, Guan Zhongxiao was afraid that he would be beaten to death by the angry people.

When the guards dragged him out, Guan Zhongxiao was already covered in scars, and he didn't even know who to break one ear, and it was bloody.

Guan Zhongxiao was tied to a wooden frame, and the executioner Cai Gui of Nanjing City was executed, and it is said that his ancestor was Cai Fu, one of the heroes of Liangshan.

Cai Gui smiled and said to Guan Zhongxiao: "My lord, thanks to you, the kid also blew a cold wind on the city for a few days a few days ago. This time, the small one is guaranteed not to be able to make the last cut, and the adults don't have to worry about dying early! ”

When he said the last sentence, Cai Gui gritted his teeth and burst out of his mouth.

Ordinary prisoners, Cai Gui would not be so ruthless, after cutting a few knives, he would give him a ruthless knife to make him die in advance.

But he has a deep hatred for Guan Zhongxiao, where is he willing to let him go so easily.

Besides, the people all over the city looked at it, if Cai Gui dared to show mercy to his subordinates, he was afraid that his life would be difficult to protect.

Guan Zhongxiao was tied, his chin was disjointed, he couldn't speak, he twisted his body desperately, trying to stay away from Cai Gui.

Cai Gui grabbed Guan Zhongxiao's mouth, twisted it hard, forcibly opened his mouth, and pulled out his tongue.

With a knife, the knife technique was extremely skillful, and the tongue was cut off.

Cai Gui threw his tongue away, so he didn't have to worry that Guan Zhongxiao would bite his tongue and commit suicide!

Cai Gui cut a knife and reported the number.

In order to make up enough for a thousand knives, Cai Gui cut each knife extremely thinly, like slices of mutton brushing a hot pot.

Every knife is painful, Guan Zhongxiao fainted directly in pain at first, and then woke up in pain, back and forth more than a dozen times.

In the end, the whole person was unconscious in pain, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth, and he became an idiot.

The goal of a thousand knives, Guan Zhongxiao still did not complete it in the end, and after a few hundred knives, Guan Zhongxiao lost too much blood and died unconsciously.

Even if Guan Zhongxiao died, the people didn't dare to let him go, the meat from Your Excellency was fed to the dogs, the bones were poked and thrown into the wilderness, and there was no corpse.

When Guan Zhongxiao was executed, Zheng Chenggong sent someone to retrieve the hot air balloon.

At dawn, many people notice the hot air balloon floating in mid-air.

They had never seen such a huge Kong Ming lantern, and they all stared blankly at the hot air balloon.

For a while, smart people also instantly comprehended how Zheng Jiajun was able to sneak into Nanjing City quietly last night, kill Marseille, and seize Nanjing City!

Inside and outside the city of Nanjing, many people who acted secretly hid in secret rooms, wrote secret letters, and then sent people to send them in all directions.

……

In the camp outside Nanjing, Gan Hui watched the guards retrieving the hot air balloon, and said praiseworthily: "Silently, you can send soldiers and horses into the city, which is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city!" In the future, it will be much easier for our army to attack the city! ”

Yao Qisheng shook his head and said, "This hot air balloon is also used for the first time, and it has such an effect without the enemy knowing!" It's impossible to think about it like last night. ”

Chen Yonghua also said: "Mr. Yao is right, this hot air balloon is slow, very dependent on the wind, and the load capacity is also small, and the limitations are great!" ”

Gan Hui said: "Then this hot air balloon is useless!" ”

Yao Qisheng shook the paper fan and said: "No, after the hot air balloon is lifted into the air, it is conducive to our army's monitoring and reconnaissance of the enemy." And although the payload is small, if you only carry one person and then load a grenade or something, you can attack the enemy. Makes some difference! ”

Chen Yonghua shook his head and said, "Xia Guan thinks that if the hot air balloon flies too low, it will be easy for the enemy to shoot down. If you fly too high, you won't be able to get your head right. And it takes a long time to go back and forth in a hot air balloon, and there are not many things to load, and it is not good to load a grenade to attack the enemy! If you take a few people to the city to collude and rebel, it is a good choice to create chaos! ”

Gan Hui and Yao Qisheng discussed the use of hot air balloons on the side, and Wan Li and Huang Ting looked at the folded hot air balloon, very curious.

They didn't dare to ask Zheng Chenggong, and several people all surrounded Liu Guoxuan, a young general, and stared at him very friendly and said, "Brother Liu, brother, I'm curious, how did you sneak into the city last night?" ”

Liu Guoxuan looked at the glowing eyes of those people, and knew that if he didn't give an explanation, he was afraid that today they would take turns to repair themselves for the reason of exercising.

Liu Guoxuan hurriedly said: "Brothers, last night's action was designed by the general himself. After the hot air balloon was lifted into the air, when your eldest brothers attracted the attention of the Qing army at the south gate, we took the opportunity to climb up the hot air balloon at a height of about 35 meters along the soft ladder, and then slid along the rope covered with butter and lard to another relatively low hot air balloon with iron chains, and then slid from the hot air balloon to the third hot air balloon on the city of Nanjing, and finally descended safely along the rope to the city of Nanjing. Big brother, you don't know how exciting it is when you glide in mid-air......"

Liu Guoxuan's mouth was foaming at the mouth, and he kept telling how beautiful the scenery in the sky was, how close he was to the starry sky, and how exciting the experience was.

Wanli listened to them, their eyes were full of stars, and they couldn't wait to experience it now!

It's a pity that the general Zheng Chenggong was only willing to leave a hot air balloon, and the other two were sent to Xiamen Gewu College to study and improve for teachers and students.

For the hot air balloon, Zheng Chenggong knows in his heart that this temporary manufacturing has no guarantee of safety at all. This time, it was also because of the urgency of time, so I was temporarily launched.

Now that the city of Nanjing has been defeated, there is no need to take risks.

In case, the hot air balloon flew over the place, suddenly had an accident, and fell down for the enemy to pick up.

This hot air balloon is not too clever a thing, they sent someone to develop it, and it was made, and it was not themselves who were unlucky.

It's better to keep it in store it first and use it again in an emergency.

Yao Qisheng and Chen Yonghua went to the military camp outside the city to handle military affairs, but Zheng Chenggong sat in the Nanjing City Government to handle government affairs.

After a battle is fought, it is also very troublesome to end it, such as the collection and clearance of captured materials, the placement of the wounded, the handling of prisoners of war, and the rewards and punishments for meritorious deeds.

Due to too many casualties, the weather began to slowly get hotter, and for fear of spreading the epidemic, people were recruited from the city to clean the battlefield, bury them, etc., this series of things had to be dealt with in a hurry and could not be delayed.

The smoke clears, and the wounds brought about by the war are not so easy to heal!

It's not something that can be solved by a simple Anmin list.

After the war, the fleeing people came back one after another, and the abandoned farmland needed to be counted and arranged for them to cultivate as soon as possible.

A large number of refugees poured into various small cities, and they needed to open warehouses to release grain.

There are a lot of big and small things, no matter how much Zheng Chenggong doesn't like Jiang Guozhu, the former governor of Jiangning, he must accept his surrender, because Jiang Guozhu has been the governor of Jiangning for several years and is most familiar with the things of Nanjing City.

In addition to Jiang Guozhu, the former governor of Jiangning, Zheng Chenggong also used a large number of officials who were formerly Manchu and pseudo-ordinary, as well as local celebrities and famous people, in order to pacify Ying Tianfu as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
