Chapter 67 Chaos (4)
"What, surrender, sir, you can't surrender." The former deputy general of Jiujiang, Zhang Shixun, was shocked. He presented Jiujiang to Zuo Liangyu, killing Yuan Jixian and countless people in Jiujiang. The court would never let him go, so he followed Li Guoying and wanted to surrender. At this moment, he was anxious when he heard that Li Guoying was about to surrender.
Zhang Shixun reminded Li Guoying that he winked at his personal soldiers and shouted suddenly: "Take it down."
Several Li Guoying's personal soldiers rushed towards Zhang Shixun like wolves and tigers. Zhang Shixun's martial arts were already ordinary. He was about to resist, but one of Li Guoying's personal soldiers knocked his wrist with a sword. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. Several personal soldiers rushed forward and tied Zhang Shixun solidly.
"Li Guoying, you bastard, don't think it's okay if you tie me up. You will definitely die without a burial place." Zhang Shixun knew that he was not spared, so he cursed at Li Guoying.
Li Guoying was furious: "Clog his mouth."
"Um, um." Soon, Zhang Sehun was left with only whimpers, but his eyes were still glaring at Lee Guoying angrily. Lee Guoying ignored him: "Hurry, hurry, shout down below, we surrender."
The battle in Jiujiang City finally ended, and teams of prisoners were escorted by the Ming army. Li Guoying and his subordinates were dejected and were entrusted to Jin Shengheng and others. Jin Shengheng just glanced at Li Guoying several times, without any sympathy for this former colleague: "Drag on and kill!"
"What." Li Guoying stared at Jin Shengheng in surprise. It was not until the two soldiers held his hand that he struggled desperately and shouted: "Yidouli, you are so cruel. Lord Zhang, Lord Wang, Lord Liu, save me. Yidouli is trying to avenge my personal revenge."
Jin Shengheng was born into a bandit, and Yi Dou Ji was his nickname, but he had not used it for many years after surrendering to the official army. When he heard Li Guoying call him like this, Jin Shengheng just sneered. Everyone who was called by Li Guoying looked at him with pity and did not reply to Li Guoying's words at all. Killing Li Guoying was the emperor's intention. No matter how much friendship he had with Li Guoying in the past, they could not go against the emperor's will at this time, let alone Li Guoying did not have much friendship with them.
"Mr. Li, General Li, you can go on the road with peace of mind. However, if you are determined to surrender to the Tartars, you will be disloyal and unfilial and humiliating your ancestors after your death. Why is that going to be a stigma?"
"Haha, kill well, kill well." Zhang Shixun laughed, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Puff" Li Guoying was so angry that he vomited blood. Two soldiers took Li Guoying aside and kicked Li Guoying hard on the knee. Li Guoying's legs became weak and he immediately knelt down.
"Yi Dou Ji, Wang Zamao, you guys are so cruel, I'm a ghost..." With a click, Li Guoying's voice interrupted, his head and neck separated, rolling to the side with his eyes wide open, and he obviously died with his eyes open.
Zhang Shixun was still laughing, and Jin Shengheng said with a blank expression: "Next."
With a click, Zhang Shixun's laughter was interrupted, and he followed in Li Guoying's footsteps.
"Sir, please spare me, please spare me." When the officers pushed over saw Li Guoying, Zhang Shixun was executed like a dog. They were all shocked and begged for mercy. Unfortunately, Jin Shengheng and others were as heartless as stones, and they didn't even frown. The officers who surrendered with Li Guoying were dragged aside like a dog and chopped them up.
Such a scene is just a small scene in the city, with murderous sounds everywhere in the city. Zuo Liangyu's subordinates were used to burning, killing, looting, and this time, although they were killing his former companions, they were not ruthless. The entire Jiujiang City became a huge slaughterhouse, and the blood in the city was soaring. Li Guoying and his surrendered subordinates had more than 30,000 people left, and no one was left. Together with the corpses that had fought between the two sides before, there were at least 70,000 to 80,000 corpses in the city.
After being busy in the middle of the night, the officers and soldiers in the city dragged all the bodies out of the city and dug a hole to bury them until dawn. Although September is now in progress, if the bodies are not dealt with in time, it is still easy to cause a major epidemic.
Early the next morning, Jin Shengheng, Wang Deren, Liu Chengyin, Zhang Yingyuan and others who surrendered, tied their hands to the military camp outside the city to apologize to the emperor.
"Sinners meet the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
Wang Fu's face was cold, and there was no joy after the victory. This time, Zuo Liangyu led an army of 300,000 to rebel. Many people thought the court was about to be overthrown. No one expected that the emperor would personally lead the imperial army. Except for a small confrontation between Li Yuanyin and the rebels at the beginning, he did not move a soldier. Zuo Liangyu's army of 300,000 was wiped out.
Logically, the emperor should have been very happy and celebrated, but Wang Fu was filled with mixed feelings. Except for Zhang Yingyuan, the people in front of him have become traitors in history. Although Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren are in the future, they cannot cover up the fact that their hands were covered with bloody Han people.
In terms of emotional perspective, Wang Fu would like to have a big shout and drag all these people out to behead them, so as not to be upset when he thinks about it. However, in terms of reason, Wang Fu had to appease them. Otherwise, if he saw someone who would become a traitor in the future, he would kill him, which would only make his family betrayal and push more people to the Qing Dynasty.
Jin Shengheng, Wang Deren and others could not get the emperor's response for a while, and they became nervous. Several people secretly glanced at He Tengjiao. He Tengjiao fell into Zuo Liangyu's hands and refused to join forces. Wang Fu highly praised him and promoted He Tengjiao from the governor of Huguang to the governor of Huguang and could take office in a few days.
He Tengjiao received help from Jin Shengheng and others. He asked himself to be the governor of Huguang and needed the support of these people and said, "Emperor, General Jin and others committed heinous crimes based on Zuo Ni, but they can be credited to the court in time. I hope the emperor will be lenient."
Wang Fu nodded. The court had no reason to be in his own preferences. Speaking of which, the reason why these people surrendered was mostly too disappointed with the court. Now that he learned that Zuo Liangyu rebelled, he did not hide alone in Nanjing and wait for Zuo Liangyu's attack. Instead, he was in charge of the army. He was so stupid that he could be considered the Lord of Revival. Perhaps their mentality had also changed. Otherwise, these people would not surrender to the court after Zuo Liangyu died but directly surrender to the Tartars. Wang Fu's expression slightly relaxed: "Don't give me a gift, come and untie their rope."
"Thank you, my emperor, long live my emperor!" Jin Shengheng looked at He Tengjiao gratefully. Before they came, they fantasized about getting rewarded by the emperor. At this moment, it seemed that it was not easy to escape the crime smoothly.
"Although I can avoid the crime of you and others, my troops have no military discipline. I need to reorganize and eliminate the weak and retain the strong. Are you willing?"
At this point, even if Jin Shengheng and others were unwilling to do so, they could not help: "I will let the emperor deal with it."
