"Dingchuan, what do you think?"

Xu Dingchuan carefully watched the battlefield situation, and said a little unconfidently later: "That group of green battalions shouldn't want to surrender to us, right?" ”

was said by Xu Dingchuan, and Zhu Yang suddenly discovered the clue.

Because this group of green battalions is different from its green battalion, with white cloth wrapped around their arms, and while attacking the Qing army, they shout: "We surrender, we surrender." ”

Zhu Yang's eyes were very good, and he soon found that the leader was actually the commander of the green battalion who had escaped before.

Zhu Yang smiled: "Dingchuan, do you think that is Zhang Jun, the commander of the Jiangyin Green Battalion?" ”

Xu Dingchuan looked in the direction of Zhu Yang's finger and found Zhang Jun at a glance.

Xu Dingchuan also smiled: "General, it seems that this Master Zhang Junzhang wants to abandon the dark and turn to the light." ”

Zhu Yang was noncommittal: "No matter what this Lord Zhang thinks, let's clean up these Qing troops first, hand over the mountain to you, give it to me outside the mountain, take as many prisoners as possible if you can, and then kill them after screening." ”

The reason why Zhu Yang is like this is mainly because these green camps are basically Han Chinese, and some people have not slaughtered the people, so such a green camp might as well give them a chance to do it anyway.

The addition of Zhu Yang and Xu Dingchuan accelerated the collapse of the Qing army, and after half an hour, the entire battlefield was quiet.

Zhu Yang moved the stones blocked at both ends so that his subordinates could clean up the battlefield.

You must know that Jiangyin is lacking in everything now, especially weapons.

This time, Chen Cai ran away with hundreds of people, and the others were all dumplings by the Taiping army.

The casualties of the Taiping army itself were relatively small, probably about 200 casualties.

Either way, it's a big win.

Naturally, Xu Dingchuan was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, and Zhu Yang called Zhang Jun over, he wanted to see what was going on with this guy.

Zhang Jun trotted all the way over, and thoughtfully put his weapon aside.

Then he knelt in front of Zhu Yang with a plop, and shouted loudly: "The sin general Zhang Jun is willing to lead the 1,500 green battalions to surrender to the general, and please take the general in!" ”

Good guys, that's straightforward.

Zhu Yang didn't immediately agree, but asked, "Commander Zhang, I have a question and want to ask you." ”

Zhang Jun hurriedly said: "The general has tormented the villain, just ask the general if he has any questions, the villain will definitely know everything, say everything, and never dare to have the slightest lie." ”

Zhu Yang nodded: "Why did you surrender?" ”

Zhu Yang didn't make a fool of himself, and hit the central problem.

You must know that now the Qing court is in full swing, and there is no longer a climatic resistance force in the whole of China.

There was still some time before Wu Sangui's rebellion, and on the whole, the Qing court had basically completed the unification of China.

In this case, anyone with a discerning eye knows that rebellion at this time will definitely be a dead end.

Zhang Jun didn't have a chance to escape, he could have escaped with Chen Cai.

With his ability to escape, ten Chen Cai couldn't catch up with him.

However, instead of running away, he fought back and surrendered.

That's intriguing.

Zhang Jun didn't hide it, and said directly: "The general doesn't know, like me and other green battalion soldiers, once they go out with the flag soldiers, if the flag soldiers don't go back, we go back, most of them will be beheaded, rather than go back and be beheaded, it's better to surrender and follow you, maybe you will spare our lives and give us a way to live for the sake of everyone being Han Chinese." ”

Zhu Yang looked at Zhang Jun: "I didn't see it, Commander Zhang still knew that he was a Han, so why did he work for the Tartars before?" ”

Zhang Jun showed a reasonable expression on his face: "General, although the villain knows that he is a Han person, he also knows that he will give his life to whoever he eats, if I am about to starve to death, what kind of Tartar Han people do I care, the one who can let me eat is a good person, do you say yes?" ”

Zhu Yang sighed.

Although what Zhang Jun said was not very good, it was true.

Yes, when I am about to starve to death, I will listen to whoever cares who it is, and who can feed me.

This is what the vast majority of people think.

If you have milk, you are a mother.

Daming lost the world, no one else can blame, he can only blame himself for making the people unable to eat.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yang felt that this Zhang Jun was an interesting person and an understanding person.

Zhu Yang thought for a moment: "Zhang Jun, you are the first person to surrender to our Taiping Army, in order to show your reward, I will now let you be a thousand households of the Taiping Army and help manage the logistics affairs of the army, are you willing?" ”

When Zhang Jun heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

Where does the joy come from?

The reason is that Zhang Jun actually doesn't like to fight at all, he prefers to engage in logistics.

His original first position was as a logistics officer, but because he did a good job, he was promoted.

But to be honest, he doesn't want to be promoted yet.

It's so nice how comfortable it is, how dangerous it is, and how well you can eat and drink.

Therefore, Zhang Jun accepted the appointment with a happy face, and then handed over the 1,500 green battalion soldiers directly to Zhu Yang, without any nostalgia at all.

Zhu Yang looked at Zhang Jun, who was not nostalgic for military power at all, and was also a little speechless.

Isn't this guy afraid that he will regret cutting him?

Maybe it's my luck to have such a person.

After all, this guy is too good at saving his life.

Get Zhang Jun, and the battlefield over there is almost cleaned.

Zhu Yang looked at Qin Wangshan, and suddenly said to Xu Dingchuan: "Dingchuan, Qinwang Mountain is in a dangerous terrain, and it is between Jiangyin and Changzhou, let's build a beacon fort here, one can warn, and the other can also be slightly blocked, so as to buy more time for Jiangyin's defense." ”

Xu Dingchuan said: "General, not only should we build a beacon fort here, I suggest that we should build a naval army, not only to protect the river, but even this canal we also need a naval army to protect." ”

Zhu Yang was shocked: "What Dingchuan said is very true, if it weren't for Dingchuan's reminder, he would have almost missed a big event." ”

This is something that Zhu Yang did not take into account.

Jiangyin is located on the south bank of the Great River, and it is long overdue to build a naval army.

It's a big deal, go back and discuss it again.

Later, Zhu Yang returned to Jiangyin with his troops.

The next day, Zhu Yang gathered Gu Yanwu, Liu Laichen, Xu Dingchuan, Xia Huailong, Zhang Jun and others together, and after sitting down, Zhu Yang said directly: "This time I summoned you here, just one thing. ”

"What should we do next?"

"Everyone, let's talk about it."

Everyone glanced at Gu Yanwu.

For Mr. Tinglin's name, everyone has been famous for a long time, and they all admire Gu Yanwu very much, so they are all waiting for Gu Yanwu to speak first.

Gu Yanwu didn't shirk either, and said directly: "General, there are three things we have the most important things now. ”

"Just speak up, sir."

"Customize, reorganize the army, expand the land."

"Customization, is to determine the military system and political system of our Taiping Army, I suggest that we still adopt our Ming system, a little modification is enough, the general thinks it is possible?"
