Although the surrender of the Qing army was still expected, Su Yan still put on his coat and personally came to the outside of the camp to accept the surrender of the Qing army.

After a long distance, Su Yan saw Tong Guoqi's shiny big bald head, and the poor and ugly money rattail on his head.

He also noticed that the Qing soldiers were wearing only a single coat, and apparently left their armor and weapons in the village before they came out.

After walking to a place less than twenty meters away from the camp of the rebels, Chen Shitai, who was walking in the front, took the lead in kneeling down, and the two personal soldiers behind him also forcibly pressed Tong Guoqi and forced him to kneel down.

"Fujian Governor Tong Guoqi, Quanzhou General Chen Shitai led the soldiers and horses, and asked General Su of the Righteous Army to surrender!"

Chen Shitai shouted loudly, and then fell to the ground with his forehead, waiting for the verdict of fate.

Su Yan stood in front of Chen Shitai, condescendingly looking down at these soldiers, and after a while, he said solemnly: "Although you are Han people, you have surrendered to the Tartars, acted for the tigers, and oppressed your fellow clansmen, I should have killed all of them to comfort the Han people who were poisoned by you, but now that the Tartars have not been destroyed, the country has not been peaceful, I will spare your lives first, if someone resists the Qing Dynasty in the future, I will not show mercy!" ”

When Su Yan's words fell, he began to whisper among the troops, Chen Shitai also raised his head in surprise, looking at Su Yan, he didn't expect the other party to make such a hasty decision to incorporate his own troops.

"Any questions?"

Su Yan's eyes swept over the whispering soldiers, and everywhere he looked, the soldiers who were staring at him subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

"General." At this time, a young soldier raised his head, met Su Yan's gaze, and said: "It's not that we are unwilling to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but our wives and children are all in the city of Quanzhou, if the Qing court learns that we have surrendered, our wives and children are very likely to be poisoned." ”

"Yes, yes, our wives and children are still in Quanzhou City, if they surrender, they will definitely die."

"Mother, the child is not filial, and I can't go back to honor you."

“……”

After the young man finished speaking, the other Qing soldiers chimed in, and even worse, they began to cry as they spoke.

Su Yan listened to their words and was also slightly touched, but he didn't plan to let these Qing soldiers go back, letting them go back would be to return to the mountains and increase the enemy for himself.

Therefore, he did not change his mind and continued: "I know your difficulties, you are reluctant to give up your wives and children, but I can assure you that by the end of the year at the latest, I will take the capital city of Quanzhou and reunite you with your families.

Until then, I will make every five of you into a band, and if anyone tries to escape, they will be put to death!" ”

Su Yan's murderous words immediately shocked those soldiers who still had the idea of escaping, and the others also looked at the people around them, as if they were observing who had a tendency to escape.

After finishing speaking, Su Yan waved his hand and asked his subordinates to detain these Qing soldiers, and at the same time asked people to bring Tong Guoqi and Chen Shitai to his big tent.

……

Entering the big tent, Su Yan sat on the main seat and looked at the two people who knelt on the ground - Chen Shitai took the initiative to kneel, Tong Guoqi was reluctant to kneel, or Su Yan's guards kicked his knee joint, so that he was forced to kneel.

"Take the cloth off his mouth." Su Yan said to the guards in the tent, who immediately stepped forward and ripped the cloth off Tong Guoqi's mouth.

As soon as the cloth was taken off, Tong Guoqi raised his head and scolded, saying, "Damn traitor, you can't die well!" I still want to occupy Quanzhou Mansion before the end of the year, and I dream! I swept the world in the Qing Dynasty and was invincible, I advise you not to use your mantis arm as a car and lose your life in vain! ”

was scolded by Tong Guoqi for a while, Su Yan was not annoyed, he looked at Tong Guoqi with a smile, and said, "Give him twenty slaps." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Ying clenched his fists to receive the order, then walked in front of Tong Guoqi, motioned for the guards to hold him, and then moved his muscles, and a big mouth fell Tong Guoqi's face, leaving a bright red mark on the left side of his face.

"Once!"

Smack-

"Twice!"

Smack-

"Three times!"

……

It wasn't until the end of the twenty strokes that Chen Ying shook her reddened palm painfully, returned to Su Yan's side, and said, "General, the twenty strokes are over." ”

Su Yan nodded, and looked at Tong Guoqi with interest whose cheeks were almost swollen into a pig's head, where was Tong Guoqi at this time still distinguished as the governor of Fujian, his cheeks were red and swollen, his nose bleeded, and he was directly fanned out a few teeth, and his whole mouth was bloody.

Chen Shitai, who was kneeling next to Tong Guoqi, looked at the tragic situation of his boss, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and the fear of Su Yan in his heart deepened.

What Su Yan wanted was this effect of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys, he saw that Tong Guoqi was speechless, so he ordered someone to keep him alone and detain him, and then looked at Chen Shitai, and said in a gentle tone:

"Don't be afraid, you abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and capture Tong Guoqi, it is merit to me, if you are willing to stay in our army to serve, I will allow you to command a battalion, how about it?"

Seeing that Su Yan was willing to give himself the command of a battalion as soon as he came up, Chen Shitai hurriedly kowtowed his head and said: "The general does not care about Shitai's faults, but also allows a battalion to command, Shitai is grateful, and he must be the general who knows everything and says everything." ”

Su Yan nodded with a smile and said, "You get up first, I still have something to ask you." ”

"Yes." Chen Shitai stood up, still maintaining a fist-clenching posture.

"You are the general of Quanzhou Mansion, do you know the garrison of Quanzhou Mansion?" Su Yan asked.

After listening to Su Yan's inquiry, Chen Shitai said in his heart, and then he didn't hide anything he knew, and said everything:

"Quanzhou Fucheng original green battalion soldiers more than 10,000, Fucheng six equipped with 20 tiger squat cannons, 12 Franco machine guns, 3 Hongyi cannons, Quanzhou general Han Shang highlights 5,000 soldiers and horses after the expedition, there are 5,000 green battalion soldiers stationed in the city, if you count the township warriors and government servants in the city, at most it will not exceed 6,000 people.

In addition, the generals of the general level above the thousand in the city basically went out with Han Shangliang, and there was only one general and four garrisons left behind, and the garrisons were stationed at the four gates of the east, west, north and south, among which the garrison stationed at the south gate had a very good personal relationship with me, if the general needed, he could be sent by his subordinates to contact and persuade him to open the south gate and lead the army into the city. ”

"That's very good." Su Yan nodded and accepted Chen Shitai's proposal.

Chen Shitai paused, remembered the generals who came to stop him at night, and said: "General, those generals in the surrendered troops obey Tong Guoqi's orders, and his subordinates suggest that you should kill those generals and propose new people, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the recruitment and surrender of troops." ”

Su Yan bowed his head and ordered: "In this way, you personally go and identify those commanders, behead them in front of a group of soldiers, and make an example of them." ”

"Subordinates obey."
