It took less than half a day for the Xinhua army to take Chenzhou, and completely annihilated the 60,000 green battalion soldiers in the city, including Chen Jinshou, the governor of Zhili, Gui Ming, the governor of Hubei, and Changchun, the governor of Hunan, all became prisoners of the Xinhua army.

The fierce fighting damaged a large part of the southern city wall of Chenzhou, and in the street fighting, the houses in the city were also damaged to varying degrees. Because of the stubborn resistance of some Qing troops, the civilians in the city also paid some casualties, but overall, they were not too serious.

"General, the Qing army in Chenzhou City has been cleared, and we have taken more than 50,000 prisoners. The commander of the Qing army, Admiral Chen Jinshou of Zhili, the Governor of Hubei Gui Ming, and the Governor of Hunan Changchun, all surrendered to us. Brigadier General Zhang Wei, commander of the 1st Brigade, reported to Major General Sun Hao. This battle was too simple, when the Xinhua army invaded Chenzhou, the resistance of the Qing army was very weak, except for a very small number of people who chose to resist, the rest of the people when they learned that the Xinhua army was willing to accept their surrender, they all laid down their arms and surrendered to the new Chinese army. A bunch of scrappy guys who are rubbish at all. If all the Manchu armies were like this, it would be just around the corner for Xinhua to overthrow the Manchus.

"What about our losses?" Major General Sun Hao asked. Exterminating the Qing army in the city was expected. However, the battle ended in half a day. Still surprised him a little. After all, that's nearly 60,000 Qing troops, even if it's 60,000 pigs. The Xinhua Army will have to hold on for a long time. The combat effectiveness of the Qing army is even inferior to that of pigs!

"General, our losses are small. In this battle, our losses were less than a hundred. Mainly lost in street battles in the city. A very small number of Qing troops chose to resist stubbornly, and when they exterminated these Qing troops, our army paid a small amount of losses. Brigadier General Zhang Wei said.

Major General Sun Hao nodded, there will be casualties if there is a war. Annihilated nearly 60,000 Qing troops, the losses of the Xinhua army were less than a hundred, such a price. Completely within acceptable limits.

"What about the loss of civilians in the city?" Major General Sun Hao asked. The Xinhua State and the Xinhua Army have always attached importance to civilians, of course, this refers to the civilians of their own country. Including Chinese of the same language and race. If it's a foreigner. Then you won't care too much.

"General, before we invaded Chenzhou City, the Qing army had already begun to plague the people in the city. During the battle, accidental injuries were inevitable, and the Qing army deliberately used the people in the city to cover. As a result, the people in the city probably suffered hundreds of casualties. Brigadier General Zhang Wei said.

"Bastard, those Qing soldiers are simply pigs and dogs." Major General Sun Hao scolded bitterly. Then, with his hands behind his back, he walked around the headquarters twice. The last one said: "The treasury in Chenzhou City has been taken, right?" ”

"It's already under our control. However, there is not much money in it. Major General Zhang Wei asked.

"Post a notice for the people. The Xinhua Army will compensate all the people whose houses are damaged. In addition, anyone whose relatives were killed in the war, including those killed by the Qing soldiers, can be compensated from us, and the tentative amount of fifty taels of silver per person will be imposed. Major General Sun Hao said. Although this will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, the Xinhua Army can also quickly win the hearts of the locals. This is exactly what the Xinhua Army wants.

"Yes, General. By the way, the three generals of the Qing army have already brought, do you want to meet them? Brigadier General Zhang Wei asked.

"Bring it in." Major General Sun Hao said. At the beginning, he was just a pirate in the South China Sea, and in his eyes, these first-class masters of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were simply unattainable figures. And now, he has become a prisoner.

Chen Jinshou, the governor of Zhili, Gui Ming, the governor of Hubei, and Changchun, the governor of Hunan, were brought into the headquarters by the guards. They saw a tall young soldier in a dark green military uniform standing in front. Compared with the three old guys, this young general is much younger, and the temperament he exudes at the same time makes them feel ashamed.

"Humph! You rebellious ministers and thieves are actually against the imperial court, and one day, the imperial court will destroy your nine clans! Admiral Chen Jinshou scolded loudly. Gui Ming and Chang Chun's faces changed dramatically. They are all prisoners now, and they have offended the generals of the Xinhua Army, aren't they looking for death?

"Ha Luha, we are chaotic ministers and thieves, and it is better than you to recognize a thief as your father, right? I am sure that soon you will see that the Manchus were overthrown by us. When the time comes, the world will be restored to the Han family. Major General Sun Hao said with a smile. For Chen Jinshou, a Han man, he turned out to be a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he was very disdainful when he arrived. However, I have to admit that there are too many such people in China. After two hundred years of Manchu rule, many people have come to regard the Manchus as orthodox.

"The old man wants to see if there will be a day? Your Majesty, your majesty, you rebellious ministers and thieves, even if you can run rampant for a while, you will eventually be destroyed. Chen Jinshou said with his head held high.

"You'll see. Come on, bring these people back to Guangdong. Major General Sun Hao waved his hand and ignored them anymore.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Xinhua Army posted a notice for the people. In the notice, Xinhua told the people of Chenzhou that anyone whose houses were damaged could go to Xinhuajun to receive compensation. Civilians who have loved ones killed or injured in the fighting can also go to receive compensation. At the beginning, the common people didn't believe it at all, and they were also full of fear of the Xinhua Army, fearing that the Xinhua Army would wantonly slaughter them. However, when a child went to the compensation point set up by the Xinhua Army outside the prefect's yamen and received twenty taels of silver, everyone else believed it. The child's father was injured in the leg during the battle, and the Xinhua army compensated him according to the city.

For a time, those ordinary people whose houses were damaged or whose relatives were killed or injured went to the Xinhua Army to receive compensation. At the same time, the image of the Xinhua Army in the minds of the common people suddenly became taller.

"The old man has lived for more than sixty years, and he has never seen such a benevolent and righteous teacher!" An old man, after seeing this kind of behavior of the new Chinese army, couldn't help but admire. I thought that if there was a military disaster and it was affected, the people could only consider themselves unlucky, where would anyone compensate them! This also made them realize that the Xinhua Army was different from the Qing Army.

Taking this opportunity, the cultural instructors of the Xinhua Army also took the opportunity to publicize the policies of the Xinhua Army to the common people. When they learned that if they immigrated to Nanyang, they could get 50 acres of good fertile land, many people were moved. There are questions about when such a policy will be implemented. When it was learned that the war would be implemented only after it was over, the common people hoped that the Xinhua army would be able to defeat the Qing army as soon as possible. The Chinese's desire for land comes from their bones. Therefore, these fertile lands in the hands of Xinhua have become the most important weight to win the hearts and minds of the people.

"The old body doesn't want compensation, I just hope that the Xinhua Army can make decisions for the old body. The poor daughter of the old body, who was only fifteen years old, was ruined by those guys who killed a thousand knives, and finally committed suicide and died, begging the new Huajun to be the master of the old body. An old woman with white hair cried loudly in front of the Xinhua Army's compensation point. It is easy for everyone to know what happened to her, her daughter was born beautiful after the Qing army entered the city, and she was ruined by those Qing troops, and she chose to commit suicide in the end. Originally, this old woman thought that revenge was hopeless, but the actions of the new Huajun gave her a glimmer of hope.

After this incident was learned by Major General Sun Hao, commander of the Xinhua Army, he immediately ordered the people of the Military Justice Department to find out the culprits.

With the help of the Judge Advocate General's Office of the Xinhua Army, it took two days for the old woman to finally find the murderer of her daughter. The Xinhua Army immediately ordered all the murderers to be shot.

This made more ordinary people ask the Xinhua Army to make decisions for them. For a time, those prisoners of war were unlucky, and two or three thousand people were shot dead by the Xinhua army. The loss of a few thousand prisoners of war was nothing at all for the Xinhua army. However, to be able to win the love of the common people is indeed what they need most.

After taking Chenzhou, the main force of the Qing army had been almost wiped out. In Hunan, there were only more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry and 20,000 eight-banner iron cavalry left. These Qing troops retreated in Hengyang. After a short rest, the Xinhua army will continue to move north, and one will advance northward.

At the same time, the Xinhua army from other sources also attacked. In particular, the 5th Brigade and the 24th Brigade of the Xinhua Army, both belonging to the Northern Guangdong Battlefield, launched an attack from Nanxiong against the 50,000 Qing troops in Jiangxi. Although the two brigades only had more than 10,000 people, and their enemy had 50,000 people, even after the early battle, there were still more than 40,000 Qing troops in Jiangxi, and the Xinhua army was completely at a disadvantage in terms of troops.

However, after the battle began, the Xinhua army easily defeated the Qing army on the southern border of Jiangxi. The Qing army of the brigade began to flee to the north. In order to eliminate this Qing army in Jiangxi, Brigadier General Zhao Mingfu, commander of the 5th Brigade of the Xinhua Army, asked Major General Sun Hao to send an army to cut off the rear route of this Qing army.

After learning of Brigadier General Zhao Mingfu's request, Major General Sun Hao ordered the 8th Infantry Brigade, which was marching towards Hengyang, to cross the Luoxiao Mountains between Hunan and Jiangxi, attack Ji'an, and block the escape road of the Qing army in Jiangxi.

Although the Luoxiao Mountain Range is steep, there is an official road to the east of Hengyang, and the intersection is not very bad, which can be used for the army to march. After receiving the order, the 8th Brigade immediately changed the direction of the march, crossed the Luoxiao Mountains, penetrated directly into Ji'an, and cooperated with the 5th Brigade and the 24th Brigade to encircle and annihilate the Qing army in Jiangxi. In the end, the Xinhua army encircled and annihilated the main force of the Qing army in Jiangxi south of Ji'an. (To be continued......)
