Over Suzhou, heavy snow was flying, and the top of Hanshan Temple was covered with a thick layer of snow. The bells of Baoen Temple echoed in the wind and snow, making it particularly desolate.

In the heavy snow, the huge urban area seemed to be empty, and when you looked up, it was a white world. The roofs, branches, streets, and city walls are covered with armor and white snow.

The Qing soldiers on the city wall put their hands in the sleeves of their padded clothes, and hid in groups of three or five in shelters from the wind.

The officers hid in the gatehouse, made a charcoal fire, and drank small wine while roasting the fire. After a long time, they would put on their cloaks lazily and patrol the outside.

Under the city walls, there are occasionally dark shadows. The Qing army turned a blind eye, because they knew that it was not the enemy who touched the city wall, but a beggar who froze to death.

In the yamen, the governor of Jiangning, Guan Xiaozhong and Jiang Guozhu were presiding over the military meeting, and the scholar Ee Hei was also there.

There are more than a dozen generals sitting in the hall, some of them from the Han army and some from the Green Battalion, most of them are cronies who are in charge of allegiance.

In fact, most of the soldiers and horses who were loyal to him were buried in Zhenjiang. Now these soldiers are all coming from all over the south of the Yangtze River for reinforcements after the siege of the city by the Zheng army. Some of them were still Liang Huafeng's Su Songbing, but the generals who led the troops had already been removed by Guan Zhongzhong.

In order to hold these soldiers and horses together, Guan Zhongzhong and Jiang Guozhu opened the treasury and bought them at any cost. In addition, Guan Zhongyi is indeed a bit skilled and has Jiang Guozhu's support, so these generals are still loyal to him, and most of them are still very reliable.

Guan Zhongzhong summoned the generals for a meeting to reassure them. He first briefed the generals on the general situation, and then said: "This heavy snow fell in time, and after the snow it is even colder, and the ground will freeze. Cheng Bing, Taiping Kou is mostly from Guangdong and Guangxi, and if he can't stand the cold, most of them will retreat."

All will agree with this judgment, and no one is worried that the Taiping army will surprise Suzhou in the snow, because they are not camped in the wild, but in the city of Suzhou. With the support of a solid city wall, Taiping bandits even hit the city under the wind and snow to no avail.

"The burden on my shoulders is very heavy. If Changzhou and Wuxi are lost, Suzhou will have no door to rely on. If Suzhou falls again, Jiangnan will fall into the hands of the Ming army, so you should put your mind to it. As long as you hold on to Suzhou and wait for the emperor's army to cross the river to recover Jiangning, your future will be boundless."

The black forehead also cheered the generals, but all he could come up with was a false promotion.

The real money and silver of Suzhou City are all in Jiang Guozhu's hands. His forehead is not so stupid as to turn against customers. He is the master of Suzhou City because of his status as a Manchu scholar.

Zheng Sanwan, the commander-in-chief of Guan Zhongzhong's command, suddenly said: "The defeat in the Changzhou battle is really because the Taiping weapons are too powerful, and they are all soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi, and their morale is strong, so Liang Huafeng's soldiers can't beat it. I watched. , even if the Taiping army retreats, they will still fight back, and we may not be able to fight by then."

Lieutenant General Zhang Feng nodded and said: "I asked Liang Huafeng's soldiers, and they said that the Taiping Army has quick-fire guns, which are faster than our arquebuses. Definitely lose."

The commander-in-chief Ma Yulong heard the words and said, "Not only are the guns powerful, but the cannons are also powerful. I heard that they have something called Thunder Thunder, and if you throw one at it, it will blow up one piece."

"..."

Suddenly, a group of generals were talking about the power of the Taiping Army, and they all said that they couldn't beat the other side. No matter how loyal they were, they frowned and were very dissatisfied: These people are all talking about the power of the Taiping Army, isn't it shaking the hearts of the army?

His face with a dark forehead also sank. He had just said that the court would not treat them badly, but the group of people on the back shouted that the Taiping Army was powerful.

Jiang Guozhu was also very puzzled. He didn't know how the people under Admiral Guan destroyed their own prestige.

The generals didn't realize it, and they were still talking about you and me. Guan Xiaozhong couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table angrily, and said angrily: "Enough, let's say these words that shake the hearts of the army, are we going to surrender because the thieves are so powerful?"

Guan Zhongzhong's sound was so loud that it shook the table with such force. The generals fell silent for a moment, but after only a few breaths, Zheng Sanwan sneered, stood up, and said to Guan Zhongzhong: "Actually, the last general and others just wanted to persuade the Admiral to surrender. The so-called person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, Now that the Ming army has recaptured Nanjing, and Huguang and Jiangxi have also been lost, we will not be able to save the overall situation if we continue to resist, so it is better to do it as soon as possible."

"You want to defect to the enemy!"

Guan Zhongzhong's complexion changed greatly when he heard the words, and he stood up "huo".

Jiang Guozhu and Forehead Black were also shocked, and both stood up.

"What about betrayal, and what about surrendering to the enemy?"

No, Zheng Sanwan was not afraid at all. Just as he was speaking, six or seven other generals stood up beside him. Obviously, they were a group!

When the other generals saw this, they were so frightened that they didn't know whether to stand or sit there. If he stood up, the Admiral would definitely think that he had also participated in the chaos, but if he didn't stand up, Zheng Sanwan and the others would probably have poisoned him.

A group of cronies suddenly rebelled together, and despite the shock of loyalty, he asked sharply, "What are you doing? Do you really want to rebel!"

Ma Yulong said: "To tell you the truth, a few days ago, we decided to surrender. Yesterday, we met Zhou Shixiang, Zhou Dashuai, on the Yangcheng Lake in the north of the city. He promised to treat us preferentially as long as we surrendered... We don't want to kill you, Admiral, surrender the city with us, we have the same glory and wealth to enjoy!"

"Qing treats you well, how can you drop thieves!"

Guan Zhongzhong was really impatient, and he was patronizing Fang Liang Huafeng, but he didn't expect his subordinates to have an affair with the thief Xiucai long ago!

Forehead Black and Jiang Guozhu were also too shocked to breathe. Zheng Sanwan and Ma Yulong dared to attack in this lobby, they must have already made preparations, I am afraid that the soldiers outside this meeting will already be theirs!

Zheng Sanwan shouted: "Lord Admiral, for the sake of the fact that you treated us well in the past, let's just ask you, are you down or not?"

Guan Zhongzhong said awe-inspiringly: "Want me to surrender? Bah! I care about loyalty to the people of the Qing Dynasty in life and the ghosts of the Qing Dynasty in death. How can I be in the company of rats like you and tarnish my innocence!" After speaking, he suddenly drank Calling the generals who were still sitting there dumbfounded: "Why are you still sitting there, and you haven't given them to me!"

Those generals looked at each other in dismay, but did not move for a while.

Ma Yulong sneered: "I saw ~www.NovelMTL.com~ everyone wants to find a way to survive."

Despite the despair of allegiance, he still wanted to make a final effort, he said: "What is the point of Daqing I'm sorry for you, and how can I and Mr. Jiang be sorry for you!...You cast under the sect of thieves and talents, but you are just a wagging tail begging for pity. It's a dog!"

"Since the Admiral said so, then don't blame the brothers!"

Ma Yulong suddenly drew his sword, and several people slashed at Guan Zhongzhong at the same time. "Puchi", Guan Zhongzhong was cut to the ground, and the blood splashed from his neck splashed on the screen behind.

The blood spattered on Guan Zhongzhong's forehead and black face suddenly turned red, and his vision was a little blurred, and he was so scared that he screamed.

Jiang Guozhu was also stunned. He wanted to turn around and run, but his legs were so soft that he couldn't move.

After Ma Yulong and others concluded Guan Zhongzhong, they ignored the frightened brow and walked in front of Jiang Guozhu.

"Master Futai, Zhou Dashuai said, if you are willing to surrender, then the governor of Jiangsu will still be yours." (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
