There is a big yellow umbrella above the city, although it is difficult to see the back from the bottom to the top by the perspective of the view, but this big umbrella is too big, up to two zhang, square and round, it can be seen clearly at a glance, and at the same time there is a faint cheer.
Lu Dayou couldn't help but say, "Could it be that Xianfeng has climbed to the top of the city?" β
Tang Caifang took it and said: "It should be, this kind of yellow umbrella is obviously for the Tartar Emperor, hehe~~ Xianfeng is also very timid, aren't you afraid of being bombarded by us?" Commander Wang, how sure are you that you hit Xianfeng? β
"That's up to God." Wang Feng smiled slightly, and looked at it with a burning look, as if he was calculating whether it was possible to kill Xianfeng with one shot.
Xianfeng was also looking down with a telescope, condescending, at a glance, the first thing he saw was the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army in Western-style military uniforms, and the surrendered soldiers in green camp uniforms were practicing bravely.
"Traitor!" Xianfeng couldn't help but be angry, but what was slightly more comfortable in his heart was that this army was not ready for battle, except for some of them who were on guard with guns, a considerable number of them sat down on the spot, devoured food, and even some people slept in the car!
This can only show that after a long journey, this army has been exhausted, or military discipline is slack, in short, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like a well-trained elite soldier, which is a good phenomenon for Xianfeng.
Holding a telescope to continue the search, Xianfeng saw the captives led by Seng Lingqin and Mianyu again. There were more than 4,000 people, all of whom were hungry. Ragged and tied in strings with ropes. Sit in a ball.
Wang Fengtong GuΓ² Fuxing only knew to the Qing court that there were only more than 4,000 prisoners, and the other 2,000 people, including Shengbao, were temporarily hidden by him, and among the tens of thousands of people, these 2,000 people only need to dress a little bit like that, and if they are not specially careful, it is difficult to distinguish the difference from the others.
At first, Wang Feng was ready to extort some silver with these two thousand people, but when he came to the city of Beijing, he immediately changed his mind, and he thought that he wanted to retreat with his whole body. Even to break the Qing army, you have to make full use of these 2,000 prisoners.
Sure enough, Xianfeng didn't see the clue, in fact, out of his original intention, he would rather these more than 4,000 captives die in the battle under the city of Linqing, although the banner people are thin, and it is a huge loss to die, but there is no need to be forced to exchange prisoners with the Democratic Alliance army, which is humiliating to the country. But hate to hate, seeing the tragic appearance of the captive, he still couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but ask left and right: "Who can sue sΓΉ me." Which one is the thief leader Wang Feng? β
The words were asked to everyone, but the corner of Xianfeng's eyes was glancing at Fuxing, and Fuxing suddenly had a hundred thoughts. secretly analyzed the pros and cons of suing SΓΉ Xianfeng or not, and finally decided to tell the truth. After all, he has been captured for so long, and he is the identity of General Jiangning. If you want to say that you haven't been interrogated by Wang Feng, no one believes it.
Gritting his teeth, Fuxing cautiously pointed in a certain direction: "Your Majesty, please look, leaning on the front, surrounded by a group of men and women is the bandit leader Wang Feng, beside him there is Su Sanniang, Yang Xiuqing's sister Yang Shuijiao, and Lu Dayou, an important leader of short-haired hair, as for the others, the slaves don't know each other." β
Xianfeng moved the telescope over again, and looked at it carefully, this was a young man younger than himself, dark green military uniform, black leather boots, big cap, and other short hairs were almost exactly the same in terms of clothing, the only difference was that he had two belts on his body that crossed and diagonally downward, and each had a pistol.
Out of the similarity in age, Xianfeng couldn't help but compare Wang Feng with himself, in his eyes, Wang Feng was loose, his shoulders were slumped, his feet were still on a stone, he pointed and didn't know what he was talking about, sometimes laughing, patting others' shoulders, and even Xianfeng saw that Wang Feng actually reached out and pinched Yang Shuijiao's face when he talked about Xingtou!
Is this what a superior person looks like? Molesting women in front of the soldiers of the whole army, what kind of soldiers will be brought by what kind of soldiers, on the other hand, walking in a tiger's step, with a heavenly constitution in his mouth, not angry and self-assured, one word can decide the life and death of tens of millions of people, this is the lord of the world!
"But Er'er's generation is nothing more than a fluke, and today I will teach him to come and go!" In Xianfeng's eyes, the superior must be majestic, not smiling, and practicing the art of the emperor, so that the people below can't figure out their own thoughts, but Wang Feng's appearance is obviously a frivolous prodigal, which makes him secretly put his mind at ease.
Xianfeng looked left and right again, and at this time, the little eunuch An Dehai stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, Prince Gong has been prepared, please go out of the city to exchange prisoners." β
Xianfeng said expressionlessly: "Accurate! β
"Wow!" An Dehai walked backwards, and after a while, a murky grinding sound sounded in Kerala under the city, and the closed gate of Yongding slowly opened, and then, there was another boom, and the drawbridge was put down.
"Look, it's out!" Yang Shuijiao pointed forward!
A group of soldiers rushed out, into the open space in front of the city, mixed with all kinds of light artillery, about an hour later, nearly 20,000 people lined up in formation, then some or wearing complements, or wearing cotton armor galloped to the front of the formation, and finally the captured Taiping soldiers, all dressed in prison clothes, tied up with flowers, each of them was escorted out by two soldiers, lined up at the forefront of the formation.
The two armies were separated by three miles, but the Qing army did not come forward, obviously waiting for the Democratic Alliance army to come up with a statement, Wang Feng roughly counted the number of people, and the prisoners were about more than 4,000 people, so he turned his head and said: "Take it out!" β
"Yes!"
The Democratic Alliance Army flashed out a passage, and the prisoners were escorted out in twos and twos, each prisoner was guarded by a green battalion regimental training and a Democratic Alliance soldier, in front of the formation in front of the formation, and the prisoners who were escorted out were all a look of the rest of their lives, and finally saw the tall and majestic Beijing City, and their hearts were full of emotion!
You must know that during the march, due to hurry and hunger, those who died of exhaustion, including those who were shot by the Democratic Alliance army for slow movement, although they do not know the real number, there must be a lot!
Normally, if someone falls to the ground, the NLD forces force the other four to punch and kick them, and if they don't get up. It continued until he was beaten alive and his body was dumped on the side of the road. Basically, half of the banner men have killed their own people!
When people are spiritually destroyed, they can do anything to survive!
The captured Qing army was bent on survival. Although the captured Taiping army had already sprouted the will to live and die, but no matter how dull they were, in view of the situation in front of them, they also understood that they were going to carry out the legendary prisoner exchange, and for a while, everyone was full of disbelief, and looked forward with wide eyes, wanting to see clearly which sacred way to exchange themselves.
Lin Fengxiang whispered: "Lao Li, do you see clearly?" β
Li Kaifang shook his head: "Blocked by someone." I can't see who the main general is, could it be another group of people sent by the East King? It's really bold, if it's replaced, it's my Li Kaifang's reborn parents, eh? By the way, Lao Lin, where do you say they came from? β
Lin Fengxiang muttered: "It shouldn't be going north directly, the tens of thousands of troops of Seng Lingqin and Shengbao are stationed in the Linqing area, as I expected, it should be out of Taihang in the east." Directly to Beijing, but where did they get so many flag men? Alas! Forget it, I don't want to think about it, I was replaced back to the natural truth. It's just a pity that Sanniang has come all the way to help, and now her life and death are uncertain. If Sanniang falls into the hands of the Qing Demon, I would rather someone come and replace Sanniang back. We deserve to die, but Sanniang is innocent! β
Lin Fengxiang sighed heavily. Li Kaifang's expression also dimmed, the woman fell into the hands of the Qing army, the end was very tragic, a group of female soldiers led by Su Sanniang are very likely to commit suicide in advance, too late to commit suicide and be captured alive, even if they can be exchanged alive, they must also suffer unbearable humiliation, this is all the damn Northern Expedition, more than 20,000 troops were almost wiped out, and Su Sanniang who rushed to the rescue was also harmed, it was really harmful to others and yourself!
The two of them were full of remorse and lowered their heads!
Yixun, Zaiyuan and others were also looking at the opposite side, and the captives led by Mianyu and Seng Lingqin were pushed out by thousands, and then the Democratic Alliance reclosed the crack, and knew that the prisoner exchange was about to officially begin.
Su Shun hesitated slightly, then arched his hand: "Lord Gong, how can you take risks lightly with your daughter's body?" Leave the prisoner exchange to the minions. β
"Eh~~" Yi Xun waved his hand without thinking about it: "This king is entrusted by the emperor, how can he not move forward, this king understands what you mean, but the prisoner exchange is not over, and the short hair should not be out of the demon child, after the prisoner exchange, this king should be careful, and your kindness is understood by this king." β
Zaiyuan also said: "Lord Gong, do you want the army to follow?" Once you have changed, you will be flanked in front and back with the Fengtai camp, which will not only ensure your safety, but also "
As he spoke, Zaeyuan's face showed a fierce look, rubbing his fingers into palms, and the void slashed heavily!
"This" Yixun hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head: "It's not proper, with the army pressing, maybe the short hair will make some unreasonable demands, it is not appropriate to do much at this time, it is only right to exchange the prisoners back, not to mention that the whole army is rushing up, how can the city open fire?" Hum! Under the city of Beijing, are you still afraid that he will not be able to escape? After speaking, he broke off and shouted: "Hold it up!" β
"Wow!" The Qing army carried guns on their backs, two escorted one, and escorted the Taiping prisoners of war to the front of the battle in turn.
Seeing the Qing army escorting the captives and slowly stepping forward, Wang Feng turned his head and said, "It's going to start, Lu Dayou has you to stay, Sister Sanniang, Jiang Chaohui and I go up!" β
"Yes!"
The prisoner exchange is about to begin, the Qing army at the head of the city is looking down with wide eyes, even Xianfeng is holding the city with both hands, stretching his neck for the elder, in many eyes, the two teams of prisoners, five hundred meters apart face to face to stop, Yi Xun came out of the crowd, and asked: "Who is Wang Feng?" β
Suddenly, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang both had figures in their minds, exchanging a look of surprise, could it be him?
Wang Feng also rode two steps forward on his horse and asked rhetorically, "I am, who are you?" β
Yixun turned his head and arched his hand, and said: "This king is Prince Gong of the court, and he is in charge of the prisoner exchange under the emperor's command, how do you change it?"
