Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 65: Official Document

“The beachhead of panic said panic, and Lingding sighed in the ocean.

No one has ever died in life since ancient times, and their hearts and minds will be reflected in the history. ”

Before his execution, Sun Sitai made a request, that is, to face Beijing three times before going to death. In addition, he recited “Crossing Dingyang” by Wen Tianxiang, a famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty. Tragic and solemn, it seems like a hero with good national integrity.

In response to this scene, Zhou Shixiang didn’t get angry but laughed, ordered someone to press Sun Sitai’s head to face the direction of Anlong Mansion in Guizhou, and then said loudly in his ear: “You are a Han Chinese, why do you recognize a thief as your father! Under Jiuquan, you again What face do you have to meet the ancestors of your Sun family!”

After speaking, he waved his hand, the knife fell, and his head was broken.

“I have seen shameless, I have never seen such shameless, Wen Tianxiang’s “Crossing Dingyang” was ruined by you traitor!”

Zhou Shixiang spit saliva, raised his foot and kicked the head of Sun Sitai, who was obsessed with the Qing Dynasty until his death, into the forest in the distance.

“Master Wang takes revenge and only punishes the treachery. The rest don’t ask, they will return later.”

Zhou Shixiang ordered the servants, the nurses, and the families of those who were beheaded to be separated, and ordered these people to leave on their own with their wives and children. In an instant, most of the crowd dispersed, including men and women, only a few dozen people remained.

For the remaining relatives who committed treason and treachery, Zhou Shixiang’s treatment was that women should be released, men, those who were over 12 were executed, and those under 12 were released.

Zhou Shixiang originally wanted to cut the grass and root, but because of the concept of humanity in later generations, he softened his heart. He did not kill all the descendants of these traitors, but he limited the condition of survival to the threshold of twelve years old.

Those over 12 probably have memories. These teenagers witnessed the tragic death of their father at the hands of the Ming army, and they will definitely remember it for the rest of their lives. Basically, it can be concluded that these teenagers will be 100% hostile to the Ming army when they grow up, so they will do evil before they are adults. It is best to execute them when. It doesn’t matter that children under twelve let them live, and the years may dilute their vague memories.

In the cries of forgiveness, more than 20 men were executed, and the rest fell to the ground in fright. The woman tightly covered the mouth of the baby in her arms, lest the baby would cry.

Zhou Shixiang did not break his promise, he let the women and children go and ordered them to go to Zhaoqing House. However, the masked man seemed to have some scruples about Zhou Shixiang’s treatment, but he did not dare to oppose it face to face, but just stared at the women and children who disappeared in the dark night.

………

A hillside in the east of Deqing City was crowded with hundreds of carriages and horses, and a group of soldiers silently divided the carriage into two halves.

“My business in Taiping Camp is just a matter of faith. I agreed with President Tang Qian that half of the family is half of the family. I will never ask for more than one car in Taiping Camp.”

Zhou Shixiang expressed his stance on Song Qian, the representative of Tang Sanshui, very generously, and at the same time expressed his extreme approval of the other party’s name: Send money, good, good!

Hearing this, Song Qian couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Zhou Shixiang would renege on his promise. After all, this time it was a big business. Most of the wealthy people in the city were piled up on these carriages, and their value was immeasurable. Anyone should be tempted. The Taiping Camp didn’t want much, which naturally made him overjoyed. The joy in his heart returned to the joy, and he still had to say what he said about the scene. He smiled and said: “Your army will contribute more, and it doesn’t matter if you take more.”

“Hey, what are you talking about?” Zhou Shixiang waved his hand, and said very dissatisfiedly: “It is said that half of the family is half of the family, so what should I do with it? If it wasn’t for the letter from Tang Qian, my Taiping Camp would be able to send this letter. Money? Besides, you Deqing Green Camp also contributed a lot from it, I have no reason to take more from Taiping Camp, okay, this matter is settled, half of the family.”

Zhou Shixiang said it firmly and could not be rejected. When it comes to this, Song Qian is no longer hypocritical. He is also polite at the moment, and said with a smile: “That humble servant will thank the general on behalf of the general of my family!”

“Good to say, good to say.”

Zhou Shixiang let out a haha, and deliberately turned his eyes to the pile of carriages in his house. Seeing this, Song Qian said nothing, and as soon as he got his sleeves, he shouted at his subordinates: “Brothers, be quick, and move everything before dawn. Go into the city! Mr. Qian Zong said, all brothers have a share in this great wealth!”

“Brothers, the adults have said that everyone has a share, so please do your best to me, don’t ask Mr. Qian to wait in a hurry!”

Hundreds of soldiers dressed in Ming army costumes took off their clothes impatiently. Inside were the uniforms of the Deqing Green Camp. They cheered and charged excitedly to the carriage, and then you drove me to Deqing City.

Here, the soldiers of the Taiping Battalion also drove the carriages to the West River Crossing. Both sides set off at the same time. After a while, hundreds of carriages were emptied. Only the wheel marks on the ground confirmed that there were many vehicles in this place before.

Zhou Shixiang took Da Qingma to the masked man who was still standing there, and bowed his hands to him, thanking him, “Brother Wu, thank you for today’s affairs!”

“Thank you for your effort.” The masked man said as he tore off the black cloth on his face. Who is Wu Changshou, the county magistrate who is not Deqing!

Zhou Shixiang nodded and said again: “Then the matter of the aftermath will have to worry about the county magistrate.”

Wu Changshou smiled and said: “It’s my duty, it’s not worth worrying about, but the general army has to ask Brother Zhou to say a few words of kindness. Deqing is a small town after all, and it doesn’t matter how much your army can gain from it. If you attract the two princes to lead the troops, it will not be worth the loss. It seems like today, you are good and I am good, isn’t it beautiful?”

Zhou Shixiang made a look of approval, and said happily: “If it wasn’t for the huge loss of food and grass for the retreating troops at the beginning of the year, where would the Chief Soldier come to Deqing this time? But this time the capture is not small, and the Chief Soldier will definitely be satisfied. , Brother Wu goes back and tells Lu Zhixian, let him rest a hundred hearts, this Deqing City Chief Soldier will never come again!”

With this guarantee, Wu Changshou was completely relieved, and quickly said: “Then thank you Brother Zhou for your kind words!”

“This matter is over, I’ll go back to meet the commander-in-chief, Brother Wu, Zhou Mou is saying goodbye!”

“Brother Zhou, walk slowly!”

After watching Zhou Shixiang lead people away, Wu Changshou did not leave immediately, but invited two cronies, whispered to them, and led people back to the city.

…………

At the Green Camp station, the magistrate Lu Gongming was restless in the house, looking up at the door from time to time, the tea bowls on the table were added and added, and his mouth was still very dry. Finally, Tang Sanshui’s figure appeared in sight.

“Master Tang, you’re finally back!” After he entered the room, Lu Gongming grabbed his sleeve and asked anxiously, “Is everything done?”

Tang Sanshui took a sip of tea first, Fang nodded heavily in the eyes of the other party’s incomparably expectant eyes, and said, “Everything is done, the Ming army will retreat tomorrow.”

“Good, good, this is good, this is good!”

Lu Gongming couldn’t contain his excitement, and rubbed his hands full of smiles. The withdrawal of the Ming army meant that his head was saved, and he was finally able to sleep well.

Tang Sanshui said in a low voice, “The Taiping Camp has not broken its promise. The East and West families are divided in half. This meeting has already been pulled into the city.”

Hearing this, Lu Gongming was stunned, and immediately lowered his voice and said, “You must find a safe place to hide things first, and then find someone to transport them to the provincial capital for sale after the wind has passed, otherwise it will be a life-threatening talisman! ”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lu, I have asked someone to do it. I can trust it. I guarantee it will be done properly.”

“Yeah.” Lu Gongming calmed down, pondered for a while, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, quite unpredictable: “Things have to turn into silver to hold in your hands to make people feel at ease, being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and this official can’t. Excuse me.”

“What the lord said is exactly what Tang thought.”

Tang Sanshui and Lu Gongming laughed lightly at the same time, but immediately they felt a little embarrassed, and they stopped laughing a few times.

Seeing the appearance of Lu Gongming on the drum head, Tang San smiled inwardly, but said in his mouth: “The Ming army will retreat tomorrow. Your Excellency must think hard about how to write this official document.”

Lu Gongming patted the table, raised his eyebrows and said, “It’s a great victory!”

“useless!”

Lu Gongming was about to report the great victory, but Tang Sanshui was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped him, he said, “There is some credit, but it can’t be called a great victory. It is better for Lord Lu to keep a low profile, it’s not a good thing to be too much attention, after all… ”

Lu Gongming would come to his senses, and nodded hurriedly: “Yes, you can’t be too ostentatious, too ostentatious will make people jealous.”

Immediately, they discussed with Tang Sanshui how to write the official documents to be reported to the mansion and the provincial capital, but the two of them had a heart-to-heart refrain from mentioning those big gentry who went out of the city.

After half a column of incense, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Lu Zhixian returned to the county office with a satisfied face in the carriage, and hugged the old wife lingeringly, causing the old wife to keep scolding, but Lu Zhixian The more you scold, the more energetic you will be, and you will toss until dawn, which is really a good thing for people to have a good spirit at a happy event.

The next day, the Ming army really withdrew, and Lu Zhixian and Tang Qian led the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion and the young guards of the city to celebrate.

In the afternoon, some people went to the county government to report the case, saying that a large number of dead bodies were found outside the city. The county magistrate was shocked when he heard the news, and ordered the county chief Wu Changshou to lead the police officers to investigate.

On the second day, the magistrate of Deqing, together with Tang Sanshui, the head of the garrisoned green battalion, jointly reported to the Zhaoqing Prefecture and the General Military Department: I hereby have Nanming Li Dingguo’s subordinate Le Tongwu lead the troops to attack from Gaozhou, first to capture Luoding, then to commit Deqing, and want to march in a big way. Zhaoqing House, intends to go to Guangzhou again. Fortunately, Deqing heard the police in time. The officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion garrisoned in the city fought to the death. The people in the city were unwilling to become thieves. They spontaneously organized young men and women to go to the city. Due to lack of food and grass, he was forced to retreat. In this battle, the officers and soldiers fought bravely, and they were not afraid of the city. The guard Zhang Dade took the lead, thinking that the soldiers were exemplary, and stood firm at the head of the city for two days.

Along with the official document announcing the victory, there was another official document informing Zhaoqing Prefecture, but it was said that when the Ming army was approaching Deqing, the wealthy merchants in the city were afraid of the Ming army, so they bought the guards and went out of the city without permission. On the way, he was intercepted by the vanguard of the Ming army, and dozens of dead bodies were left.

While the official document was still on the road, Zhou Shixiang led the “Li Dingguo army” on the official document on the way to Luoding.
