Wu Xiang only verbally comforted Zhang Cunren and said: "Lord Zhang, don't be like this, the general has no intention of killing you, but sent it to the Jingshi for the Son of Heaven to decide."

There are many talented generals in the 'Red Banner Army', and it is possible that the general of the conquest does not care about a general like you who has been fighting in Liaodong for many years.

But there are very few generals in the Ming Dynasty who can dare to fight, and it is unknown that Emperor Chongzhen will leave you to serve the Ming Dynasty again. ”

Zhang Cunren, who was already desperate when he heard this, had hope of living in his heart.

He suddenly had a great appetite, and his dirty hands held the fat chicken and gnawed on it with oil.

Zhang Cunren poured down a sip of the general's Triumph brand high liquor, and praised: "Good wine, Lord Wu, this official has remembered this meal of wine and meat, if he has the opportunity to live, he will definitely be rewarded in the future!" ”

Wu Xiang said with a smile: "You have to remember, if you have the opportunity to live, you have to hide from the 'Red Banner Army', no matter how you toss, you can't be the opponent of the general who is captured." ”

"Alas! Regret not being at the beginning! This official really didn't know that the 'Red Flag Army' was already so powerful, if he had known earlier, he would have led his family to capture Geng Zhongming's rebellion.

If it succeeds, I am afraid that this officer should now be a guest of honor in the 'Red Banner Army' rather than a prisoner. ”

Wu Xiang knows the old generals of the Guanning Army the most, after the death of Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, He Kegang and other iron-clad men, the rest were all damaged by the eldest uncle and elder brother, all of them are things that have milk and are mothers, and most of the masters of Jiannu are yang and yin.

When the old Guanning generals on the Manchu side learned that Geng Zhongming, Jiang Xin, Xue Dahu and others who had defected were left behind by the captured generals, and learned that Zhang Cunren, who had not had time to surrender and was beaten beyond recognition, could not escape the death penalty.

It is estimated that in the next Jinzhou offensive and defensive battles and Fuzhou battles, there will be few defectors.

Wu Xiang sighed: "The general is the dragon among the people, with him, five years of Pingliao is just waiting for leisure, the official's brain is Bill and other good envoys, I believe that with your lesson, there will not be too many former Ming generals who are willing to accompany Jiannu to be martyred." ”

Zhang Cunren nodded and said: "If there is a little way, how can a good Han people admit the stupid and barbaric Jiannu as their master, they used to be just to survive." found that following Jiannu will inevitably lead to a dead end, who is willing to continue to commit cheapness? ”

Wu Xiang stood up and left, leaving a sentence: "I regret it late!" Why did you think about it at this point? ”

Zhang Cunren was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly cried again......

The "Red Banner Army" did not take advantage of the chaos to seize the city, and Seoul was in turmoil for most of the day and overnight.

At noon the next day, Geng Zhongming, Xue Dahu, and others, who basically cleared the city of Jiannu and Tartar, raised white flags at the head of the city.

The persuasion to surrender and disintegrate the Qing army was effective, and the soldiers and civilians of Seoul surrendered without a fight, but few of the officers and men of the "Red Banner Army" cheered.

The first city captured in the Battle of Pingliao was a milestone, and the ceremony of entering the city should always be more solemn.

The three battalions of Song Pengfei's battalion, Mao Chenglu's battalion, and Liu Fenyong's battalion were 12,000 men and horses, lined up neatly and entered the city.

Song Pengfei, Sun Chuanting, Zheng Xiaowen, Mao Chenglu, Sun Yuanhua, Zheng Zhihui, Liang Tingdong and dozens of other civilian, official and military generals all rode high-headed horses to the forefront, and the military and civilians in Seoul welcomed them.

The current Huang Han is the key protection object of civil officials and military generals, and Seoul has just surrendered, who can be sure that there are no outlaws there?

In the event that the general was attacked by arrows and guns when he rode into the city on a tall horse, who could afford such a responsibility?

Therefore, Song Pengfei and Sun Chuanting strongly demanded that the Guards Battalion and the general of the conquest should still be stationed outside the city, and wait for the army entering the city to confirm that the situation in Seoul was under control, and then ask the general to set up a branch in Seoul.

Song Pengfei, Zheng Xiaowen and others began to be busy on the day they entered the city, and the work of checking household registration, counting seizures, sealing and checking warehouses was carried out in an orderly manner.

The main task of the surrendered Han army and Goryeo soldiers was to transport thousands of corpses out of the city for burial, which was relatively easy, and the trench dug in the northernmost part of Seoul was used.

The sleek headless corpses of Jiannu and Tartar are thrown down and filled with soil, even if they are buried in the earth.

The defectors who died in battle were treated better, and they had all the corpses and clothes on them, and they were neatly arranged when they were buried......

Each battalion of the regular army of the "Red Banner Army" has a field hospital configuration, and now all the doctors, nurses, and medical soldiers are very busy, because there are really many wounded and sick in the city, and the number is probably close to 10,000.

Two days later, preliminary statistics showed that more than 200,000 stone of grain were obtained from Seoul, more than 500,000 taels of gold and silver treasures were obtained in silver, and more than 10,000 heads of mules, horses, cows, donkeys and other large animals......

In fact, it can make a city not need to go through artillery fire and brutal offensive and defensive battles, street battles, and all of them must be in the bag.

Every adult in Seoul will become a laborer in the reconstruction of the four counties of the Han Dynasty, and with a large amount of arable land and a well-cultivated land that has not been abandoned for a long time, there are so many people who need to take over the whole of Korea.

Under the leadership of Huang Han, every resident is actually a taxpayer, because the food produced by the villagers means endless wealth.

It is a hard rule not to kill prisoners and kill the Qing army that surrendered voluntarily, even if Huang Han is unwilling to see Geng Zhongming alive, he can only give up.

Wu Xiang was good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw that Huang Han and many generals of the "Red Banner Army" couldn't lift their spirits one by one, he knew what to expect.

He learned that the general was going to deliver the generals led by Geng Zhongming to the Beijing division and hand them over to the emperor for disposal, and took the initiative to ask to be the escort officer.

Since there are nearly 80 generals above the rank of 1,000 generals, Wu Xiang asked for the order and took the only four family members around him to select people to make up a hundred generals to undertake the task of transporting them.

Before leaving, Wu Xiang privately asked to see Huang Han, and Geng Zhongming seemed to be in very bad health, and it was unknown whether he would die of illness on the way.

This is Wu Xiang, who is more clever and less wise, to test it.

Seeing that Wu Xiang was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, Huang Han didn't say anything, but said on the spot that Wu Sanfu, who had been training in the army with Zu Dashou for more than three years, served as the general commander of the "Red Banner Army" and belonged to Mao Chenglu's battalion.

Understood, the smart Wu Xiang immediately knelt down to thank the general for bringing Wu Sanfu, and then began to select people.

The more than 100 people selected by Wu Xiang without exception had relatives killed in Denglai, and Mr. Bai was Zhang Geng, who hated Geng Zhongming to the bone, and they deliberately chose an old-fashioned three-masted gunboat to ride.

As for the inhuman abuse that Geng Zhongming suffered during the ten days of sea voyage, Huang Han is unknown.

Anyway, when he arrived at Tianjin Wei, the king of Huaishun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty died, and the soldiers of the ship and the dozens of generals who were escorted were all convincing, and Geng Zhongming was a violent death from an old disease.
