Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 375: a lot of hostages

Before entering the city, Zhou Shixiang had already arranged candidates to solve the key problems in the city of Guangzhou. The person responsible for attacking the Governor's Yamen was Guan Tianshui of the personal army battalion, and the person responsible for attacking the Jingnan Wangfu was Jiang Fan, the deputy battalion officer of the Zuoying infantry army. He personally led the army to attack the Pingnan Palace. The rest of the staff, led by Shao Jiugong, Tie Yi and others, controlled the Guangzhou prefectural government office, the Green Camp resident and took over the gates of Guangzhou.

Ge Yi was injured by an arrow when he was in Shenwan. Although he shouted to go to Guangzhou for a big ticket, the injury made him unable to follow the army and had no choice but to stay in Shenwan. Zhao Sihai, on the other hand, had to take the baggage battalion to count the capture and arrange the wounded soldiers, so he could not participate in the battle of Guangzhou. After the brothers buried Qin Zhisheng together, they got two jugs of wine from the captives, sat beside Qin Zhisheng's tomb, got drunk and cried.

Jiang Fan led people to the Jingnan Palace, and there were panicked people everywhere. After seeing the Taiping Army brigade, even if the slogan of the Taiping Army had changed from "Daming Soldiers!" to "Daming Soldiers!" When you arrive, don't be afraid of the people!" Eight words, but these people still screamed and fled. Be it the Ming army or the Qing army, those with swords in their hands are always scary to look at.

The people living around the Jingnan Palace are the families of the soldiers who came from Liaodong under the Han army under the Yellow Banner of the Han army. After the Taiping army entered the city, except for a few of these Han army family members, they hid at home and did not dare to come out. The rest all went to Jingnan. Wangfu ran to the palace, but Jiang Fan's people blocked part of the way.

In order to escape for their lives, the family members of the Han army scrambled to trample on them. The old man's scolding and scolding, the screams of women, and the cries of children were heard endlessly. The family members of the Han army who were eager to survive put their hopes of life on the Jingnan palace where their master is located.

Jiang Fan was in a hurry to take down the Jingnan Palace, so he was willing to be delayed by these women and children of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, and immediately drove away the crowd.

Zhou Shixiang had a heated quarrel with the generals about how to deal with the family members of the Han army under the kings of the two feudal vassals in Guangzhou. The final decision was that those who resisted would be killed, and those who did not resist would be placed under control and cannot be slaughtered.

The reason for this decision. It was only because Zhou Shixiang took a fancy to the Han army under Geng Jimao's monk Zhixin. If they can save their family's lives and make good use of them, those Han troops may not follow the letter of Geng Jimao monk to the end regardless of their wives, children and children.

Even if these Han soldiers all had their hands covered with Han blood, all of them participated in the Guangzhou massacre that year. Chaozhou slaughtered the city, but as long as they could be used by the Taiping army to turn the targets they slashed into the Manchus, their former masters, Zhou Shixiang would forgive them for their past.

There were quite a few Han troops in the Taiping Army who surrendered, and there were also several who worked for thousands or hundreds of households. It can be said that the current Taiping Army is an army initiated by Zhou Shixiang, but it is composed of bandits, Manchu, Han surrendered soldiers, volunteers, and young people. In essence, this army is composed of different people for a common goal. Struggle, so from top to bottom, the Taiping Army does not exclude outsiders, and is eager to have more people join it.

Can't kill and loot the family members of the Han army, Zhou Shixiang naturally has to compensate his subordinates, and this compensation is naturally the palace of Pingnan, Jingnan and Mancheng. As for the families of the Eight Banners, they were all hostages without exception. The kidnappers are the Taiping Army

Thousands of family members of the Han army rushed to the Jingnan palace in tears and scrambled. To go in, you can only go to ask your mistress Fujin Shi Yuanling for instructions.

Shi Yuanling is King Fujin of Jingnan. These people outside are the family members of the Han army under the Jingnan clan, and they are also the servants of his Geng family. Now their men are fighting outside with their husbands, so Shi Yuanling no matter what. She didn't dare to abandon these family members, she hurriedly called the guards to open the door. Put outsiders into the mansion.

"The door is open, the door is open!"

The moment the gate of the palace opened, the family members of the Han army rushed in excitedly, and the guards of the palace were too late to maintain some order. The family members of the Eight Banners who flocked in were still in shock. Still screaming and crying, the servants of the palace, who were already terrified, also cried out in grief, as if the sky was falling.

There were too many people, and the guards in the palace couldn't hold back at all, so they could only let these family members cry there.

Shi Yuanling was annoyed by hearing this, but there was nothing he could do.

The screams of the Taiping Army came from Danan Street and Chaotian Street not far away one after another. But the family members outside are still pouring into the house, and the guards are all discolored. If the door is not closed again, the Taiping Army is likely to rush in with these family members.

"close the door!"

Shi Yuanling's pretty face was pale and bloodless, she gritted her teeth and ordered the guards to close the door immediately. When they found that the guards of the palace were about to close the door, the family members outside panicked and rushed in with piercing screams, but the gate of the palace was finally slowly closed under the smashing scabbards of those guards. The family members of the Han army who had entered the palace listened to the cries outside, feeling sad and uneasy at the same time.

There are still more than a thousand family members of Zhenghuangqi stranded outside the gate of the palace. No matter how they cry inside, how to kowtow, or how to call out their man's name, the gate of the palace is tightly closed and does not move at all.

"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are here, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are here!"

The screams spread rapidly from the outermost side of the crowd to the inner side. The frightened woman with the yellow flag held her child and wanted to flee to other places, but the Taiping army came on both sides of the street. They have nowhere to run.

"Everyone, kneel down, kneel down!"

"Get out of the way, don't block the way of the Ming soldiers!"

In order to prevent these women and children from being slaughtered by the Taiping Army, the aged old people shouted loudly, and the women and children listened dumbly, because fear automatically retreated to the sides with the voice of the old man, and gave way to the gate of the Jingnan Palace. aisle.

The Taiping soldiers who rushed on both sides held swords and spears and looked at these terrified families of the Eight Banners soldiers~www.NovelMTL.com~, but no one shouted and stepped forward with knives to kill them, but just followed the passage in the crowd to Jingnan The gate of the palace ran.

"Dad, Daddy!"

A child in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly at a Taiping soldier who was walking in front of her. The child's voice would startle her mother, but she was surprised to find that the Taiping soldier her child was pointing at could hear it. The voice stopped after that, and he was looking at the two of them excitedly.

The family members who were familiar with this woman were all stunned. They could see clearly that the Taiping Army was the second child of the Wu family who was said to have died in the battle with the Manchu soldiers in the Lutou River?

More and more women found their men from the Taiping army. Like the second child of the Wu family, their men were all dressed in Ming Dynasty soldiers' clothes, and the braids on the back of their heads had long been removed.

The guards lying on the fence of the palace were dumbfounded and watched the family members outside crying and yelling excitedly, but their faces were full of joy. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please visit m.
