On the city wall, He Chun was lying on the side with a bloody face, one arm was blown off by a cannon, and he endured pain and watched the Qing soldiers defend the city, and his mouth kept spitting out blood.

The chief soldier Pan An kept looking back at He Chun, hoping that he could hold on for a while, not how much he cared about He Chun, the reason why the Qing army on the city wall could hold on to the present was because He Chun made a heavy promise, each person who killed the enemy was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and each person who defended the city wall was rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

"Chincha-sama is dead!"

I don't know who shouted, all the Qing soldiers suddenly rushed, rushed to the city, and boxes of white flowers and silver were placed at the city gate.

"It's not silver at the bottom, it's bricks, and the officials lied to us!" A group of Qing soldiers looked at the silver layer on the top, and immediately became angry.

"The official has run away! Brothers, all down! ”

"Yes, open the city gates, we surrender, it's not worth it to die for them!"

……

Huang Wei heard that Quanzhou had been captured, and asked in surprise: "It's only one day, Quanzhou has been captured, when Jiang Yuan's brother besieged for half a month, and the Qing army was defeated, this Quanzhou to Xiamen has no danger to defend, how is it good!" ”

Wu Hong persuaded: "The opportunity has been lost, if we had sent troops to attack Kinmen and attack Taiwan, we would still have a way out, but now we are surrounded on three sides, and we have no water army, it is better for us to simply take refuge in Zuo Zongtang, which is also a way out." ”

Huang Wei was moved, and looked at Jiang Yuan's sister-in-law, this is her most prestige, if she does not approve of surrender, things will be difficult to do.

"What does Sister-in-law Jiang Yuan think of what the military advisor said?"

Jiang Yuan's sister-in-law said: "As long as you don't surrender the Qing army, let the marshal order." ”

Huang Wei sighed secretly. said to Wu Hong: "Then trouble Brother Wu to go again and see what official position Zuo Zongtang can give us." Be sure to give the brothers the benefits to fight for! ”

Wu Hong said excitedly: "Don't worry, the marshal will definitely do his best." ”

I thought about it for a while. Wu Hong hesitated: "It's just that the name of the marshal should be changed, the yellow position is the same as the imperial throne, I'm afraid it will violate the taboo of the Han King." ”

Huang Wei nodded inappropriately and said: "What Brother Wu said is very true, fortunately my brother reminded me, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, and I will change my name to Huang ...... in the future Might, mighty might. ”

Zuo Zongtang heard that Wu Hong asked to see him, and smiled at the left and right: "This Wu Hong came really timely, the last time we were in Fuzhou we just captured the city." He arrived, and so did Quanzhou. ”

Listening to the marshal's joke, Li Xuan said: "This shows that they are very afraid of our army, just a bunch of chaotic people, no combat experience, the last general has already inquired, their commander Huang Demei is just a greedy for life and afraid of death, jealous of meritocracy, greedy for pleasure villain, Dashuai rest assured, Xiamen surrender forget it." If you still dare to talk to us about the conditions, the last general will immediately send troops to destroy their so-called Daming! ”

"Bring Wu Hong up, the big man has something to ask!" Li Chunfa, the commander of the First Army, shouted to the guards outside the door.

Wu Hong came here this time just to take refuge, and he didn't dare to be reserved anymore. immediately knelt down to Zuo Zongtang and said, "Little Wu Hong meets the handsome!" The marshal won a hundred battles, and the Qing army that fought lost his armor, and the ministers and Chun fled in embarrassment. The little ones are impressed! ”

Li Xuan's face showed arrogance, and he said to Wu Hong: "Hechun has been killed by our army!" ”

Wu Hong exclaimed: "And the Spring Festival system of the four provinces of troops. Now that he has been killed by the marshal, this is not only to extinguish the prestige of the Qing army! The small representative of the Ming army came to take refuge in the marshal. Please accept it. ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "Have you thought it through?" What conditions are proposed this time? ”

Wu Hong replied: "The little one doesn't dare, Huang Demei offended the marshal, and has been captured by us, and now the Ming army is led by Marshal Huang Wei, and Brother Huang Wei has always admired the King of Han, and the villain has been sent to report!" ”

Li Xuan asked, "Then what are your Huang Wei's conditions?" Let's hear it. ”

Seeing that the generals in the hall all showed mockery, Wu Hong said loudly: "Brother Huang Wei is for the people of Xiamen, not greedy for glory and wealth, as long as the marshal does not kill a single rebel, we are willing to serve the marshal!" ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's rare that Huang Wei understands the righteousness, since he accepts the reorganization of our army, you go back and tell him that if you bring the army to Quanzhou, our army doesn't want children, women, adult men, and smokers, and the rest can voluntarily join our army!" ”

Wu Hong thought of Jiang Yuan's sister-in-law, and said clearly: "So that the marshal can know that our army's supervising army Jiang Yuan's sister-in-law is a heroine, her martial arts are no less than that of men, and her courage is surpassed. ”

Zuo Zongtang asked, "But Jiang Yuan's wife?" I heard that the brothers Jiang Yuan and Jiang Fa took the lead in raising the banner of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately the whole family was killed by the Qing army, leaving only one widow to escape. ”

Wu Hong hurriedly replied: "It's Jiang Yuan's sister-in-law, and I want to thank the marshal for avenging Jiang Yuan's brother." ”

"Report ...... Nanjing Red Head Urgent! A herald hurriedly presented it to Zuo Zongtang with a red-shell document.

Li Chunfa, Li Shiqi, Yang Kailin, Li Xuan and other generals all showed surprise, they had only seen the white document, but they had not seen the urgent red-headed document, they all looked at Zuo Zongtang, waiting for an explanation.

"Ha Lu Ha...... The king of Han has been proclaimed emperor on June 29, the country name is 'Han', and the year name is set as 'Dewu', and now it is August 3 of the first year of Dewu, and the king of Han ...... It was the emperor who ordered us to attack Guangdong immediately after we captured Fujian. Zuo Zongtang was already attracted by the previous news, and only briefly mentioned the back.

Li Chunfa and the others were all overjoyed, and the hall was full of joyful laughter, and they all planned to make more merits, and when the emperor rewarded the meritorious heroes, they could also get a throne.

Zuo Zongtang put down the document and said to Li Xuan: "The emperor has ordered the formation of the 11th Army with the 'Xuan' character battalion as the core, appointed Li Xuan as the commander, I am also the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, Li Shiqi is the Minister of Civil Affairs of Fujian, Yang Kailin is the prefect of Fuzhou, Li Chunfa's First Army, Lin Fengxiang's Eighth Army, and Li Kaifang's Ninth Army all marched north and returned to Nanjing for repair!" ”

Li Xuan let go of the joy of being the commander in his heart, and analyzed: "In this way, our army only has the newly formed Eleventh Army, and Li Shixian's Fifth Army, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack Guangzhou!" ”

Wu Hong took the opportunity to show his merit and said: "Don't worry, my lord, the power of my Heaven and Earth Society is the strongest in Guangdong, as long as the villain goes to Guangdong, he will gather 100,000 horses for the adults!" ”

Zuo Zongtang exclaimed: "The Guangdong Hui Party has such strength! In this case, the commander will appoint you as a special envoy of our army, go to Guangdong to deal with our army, and when Guangdong is captured, the meritorious personnel will definitely be rewarded. ”

Hearing that Zuo Zongtang's southern expedition army had captured Fujian, and was fighting on the border of Guangdong, ready to attack Guangdong at any time, the rich merchants of the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou could no longer bear it, and gathered together to discuss where they should stand.
