The officers and soldiers over there vented their anger on the people, and here they returned to the fortress in the summer.

The battle was basically over, and although the officers and troops retained a few thousand troops, they had no fighting spirit and were unlikely to make a comeback. In addition to killing more than 2,000 people under the earthen fort, more than 4,000 people were killed at sea, and more than 700 people from the firearms battalion were captured, plus more than 700 people on Luodousha Island, a total of about 1,500 people were captured, most of whom were firearms battalion soldiers.

In this encirclement and suppression, 15,000 officers and troops crossed the sea in a mighty way, and in the end there were less than 7,000 people left, more than half of the troops were lost, and a guerrilla general was killed in battle.

After the official army finished the disaster of Chengmai, they returned to Qiongshan. Qiongshan County is inevitably a bit of a chicken and a dog jump. After all, Qiongshan is the capital city, and there is still a Wupin prefect in the town, who can hand over the words to the master of Taiwan, and the generals have restrained a little, and have not let go of their hands and feet to rob, in addition to the government and large households being ordered to "support" the official army to "pull out the silver" and "horse feed money", but also to avoid the tragedy of the humiliation of wives and children, and the destruction of the family.

After settling down in Qiongshan, after Lang Zhong's careful care, He Rubin finally woke up. The battle is defeated, and how to end it decently has become the key. The staff suggested that they be appeased, so that the fact of the defeat could be concealed, at most there were more troops damaged in battle.

He Rubin can't say bitterly, whether to appease or not is not something he can decide, only the governor of Liangguang has this power, but if Wang Zhitai is willing to appease the thieves so easily, there will be no such crossing of the sea to encircle and suppress. If you want to convince him, you can only report the results truthfully, then whether you appease the thief or not, you are afraid that the position of your general army will not be guaranteed.

Tong Yizhen, Yan Zunhe and other generals persuaded him to retreat to Guangzhou first, and then either ask the governor to appease the other party, or continue to mobilize the troops of Guangxi and Guangxi and make a comeback.

He Rubin smashed the cup angrily and scolded loudly: "What a fool! If you can't beat these 20,000 people, can you get together another 10,000 or 20,000 people? Can the treasury still get the money? Not to mention anything else, how to avoid the opponent's strong ships and cannons when crossing the sea? It is difficult to say whether the thousands of us can successfully cross the sea and return to Guangdong. ”

The generals were scolded to the point of disgrace, and when they thought of the overwhelming superiority of the other side at sea, they had no idea. Since the opponent can attack the fleet when they cross the sea, they will be able to repeat the same trick when they return to Guangdong. If this comes out again, then I'm afraid that all the remaining thousands of people will have to see the Dragon King.

Unexpectedly, not to mention the defeat, even the safe withdrawal to Guangdong has become a luxury, and everyone is discouraged.

The prefect Qin Bingyan also participated in the military discussion because he was required to support the supply of food and salary for the officers and soldiers. When he heard that the officers and troops could not withdraw to Guangdong, he was very anxious.

In order to raise food to supply the army, Qiongshan County has scraped the ground, unbearable, Chengmai County is even more ruined and dilapidated, if the army does not go, the people's hearts are unstable, and then something goes wrong, he is the prefect has also done it. At the beginning, the local guard army failed to quell the chaos, and he once expected the army from the provincial capital, but after it really came, the harm to Qiongzhou Mansion was far greater than that of those who honestly stayed in a corner of the high ground, and he looked forward to the army returning to Guangdong as soon as possible to send away this plague god.

In a hurry, he didn't care about the rules, and interjected: "Zhentai, this official has dealt with thieves, so you might as well persuade one or two to see if you can let the army cross the sea and return to Guangdong safely." ”

He Rubin barely cheered up: "Okay, then bother the Qin prefect." "He doesn't know if the Qiongzhou Mansion can persuade the thief, but a dead horse is a live horse doctor, and it is better to try it than to be trapped in Qiongshan.

When the prefect Yamen sent a letter to Lingao, it was summer when everyone gathered in Nanyuan to discuss the next plan.

"The official army was really beaten out of temper, and they didn't dare to attack again, and they were afraid to return to Guangdong, haha!" Xia Nan smiled and passed the letter sent by the prefect's yamen to everyone, to the effect that for the sake of the people of Qiongzhou, not to hinder the official army from crossing the sea, lest the army continue to harm the people.

Sima De smiled dumbly after reading the letter: "It is really strange that the government persuaded the rebels to let the officials and soldiers go in order to ensure the safety of the place. Who are the soldiers and who are the bandits? ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, this was the first time they had heard of such a strange thing. Wei Lianheng sighed: "The common people often say that thieves are like combs, and soldiers are like grates, but in fact, if you talk about harming the people, the rout of the official army is often more powerful than the thieves." ”

"Now that we know the hole cards of the officers and soldiers, then we know what to do next." Xia Nan asked Sima De, "Can this defeat make Wang Zunde fall immediately?" ”

After suffering this defeat, Wang Zunde's career has come to an end, and it is certain that he will leave office. But after all, he is the governor of the second grade, and there is always a process to go in the court, if no one in the court speaks for him, the matter will be settled in two or three months; If someone supports it, it may not be decided for half a year. Sima De speculated.

Xia Nan shook his head, he trusted Sima De's inference in other matters, but Sima De's position in Nanjing was too low, far away from the court, and he didn't have Chongzhen's temperament in this kind of thing. Chongzhen is self-serving, impatient and impatient, and even the first assistant of the cabinet is changed like a marquee, not to mention a governor of Liangguang.

"That's a mistake!" Someone spoke. Everyone looked at it, but it was Sun Yuanhua.

Before the official army called, Sun Yuanhua had not participated in the deliberations, although he could not stop anything, but Xia Nan was worried that he would affect the atmosphere of war preparation, so he simply did not ask him to participate. Now that the overall situation has been decided, let him participate in the deliberations and make suggestions.

Although Sun Yuanhua saw the strength of the guards from the weapons and quality of the guards, with the strength of more than 2,000 people and five ships on land and sea, he neatly defeated the 10,000 or 20,000 troops in Guangdong—and it was not the rotten guard army, but the elite battalions—it was still far beyond his expectations. Before discussing how to deal with the official army, Xia Nan deliberately avoided him, he also knew, but he was powerless to stop it. Now that the official army has been defeated and cannot be recovered, what he can do is to guide Xia Nan to accept the appeasement of the imperial court and avoid becoming the third evil after the Houjin Tartars and the Central Plains refugees.

"Although the saint is working hard today, he is in a hurry. Yang Hegui was the governor of the three sides, and he failed to appease the thieves, saying that he would be beheaded, but fortunately he had a good son, Yang Sichang, who saved his life. Wang Zunde is just the governor of Liangguang, who insisted on gathering the strength of the whole province of Guangdong to use swords and soldiers, but he was defeated, and his life may not be saved, and his dismissal is even more blink of an eye.
