Han’s Son is Not a Slave

The funerals of Ge Zheng and Peng Dazhu, two old brothers from Daqiao Mountain, were very simple. Like those Jiangxi soldiers who died in battle, they dug and buried them in an open space in the city. Likewise, there was no monument.

Ge Yi was deeply in love with his brothers and was too sad for his brother's death. When his brother fell into the ground, he cried and fainted. At that time, Zhao Sihai and the others were frightened. It will be fine.

People are dead and buried.

hurt, heal.

Those who cannot be cured can only wait to die and then bury them in the ground.

Everything is simple, and the hearts of those who survive are hung on the city walls and on the besieged Qing troops outside the city.

After three strong attacks, the Qing army, which had more than 5,000 troops, finally stopped its crazy behavior and did not continue to use human life to fill the bottomless pit of Xinhui Fortress. However, the Qing army camp outside the city still stood, and the layers of defense were still there. Tightly surrounding Xinhui, the Taiping army in the city could not breathe.

Song Xianggong again counted the remaining materials in the city according to Zhou Shixiang's instructions, including grain, salt, rapeseed oil, kerosene, lime, sapwood, weapons and other supplies. The results were not optimistic.

Song Xianggong privately suggested to Zhou Shixiang to break out of the encirclement immediately, because the food in the city could last for about ten days at most. Ten days later, if the Qing army has not withdrawn from the encirclement, the Taiping army will have no food to eat. If they want to break through, they must start immediately, otherwise, they will not have the strength to break through after a few days.

The proposal to break out of the siege was proposed as early as in the initial siege of the Qing army, but it was rejected by Zhou Shixiang. Now, he still does not approve of breaking out of the siege. The reason is very simple. It is impossible for the soldiers in the army to leave their wives, children and children and escape alone. He Zhou Shixiang really dared to order a breakout. I am afraid that before the city gates are opened, the city is already killing each other.

Officers from more than 100 households also had a lot of disagreement about whether to break out of the encirclement. Officers from the former Green Battalion led by Shao Jiugong and Li Fuguo supported the breakthrough. They were all alone in the Taiping Army and had no family concerns. Naturally, he didn't want to wait to die in the lonely city of Xinhui.

On the contrary, Tie Yi of the trapped camp and Qin Zhisheng of the tiger camp are resolutely opposed to breaking through. Zhou Shixiang naturally understood Tie Yi's objection. Because most of Tie Yi's subordinates were his co-workers in the Laofengzhuang copper mine, and all the family members of the officers and soldiers who were trapped in the camp were in the city. If Tie Yi agreed to abandon his family members to break out, it would be hell.

Zhou Shixiang was a little surprised by Qin Zhisheng's fierce opposition to breaking through the encirclement. Qin Zhisheng was alone when he fell to Daqiao Mountain with Hu Quan. After so many years, he has not married a wife or had children. Therefore, like Duke Xianggong and Li Fuguo, he has no family burden in this city, so it stands to reason that he should support breaking through. Mostly dead. I never thought that Qin Zhisheng seemed to have eaten a weight and did not agree to break out of the encirclement, and even scolded Li Fuguo and the others to run away when he was arguing.

Zhou Shixiang had never guessed the psychology of his subordinates, but this time he couldn't help but ask Duke Xiang of Song. I want to understand why Qin Zhisheng is so vehemently opposed to breaking through.

After a moment of silence, Song Xianggong told Zhou Shixiang that Qin Zhisheng and Hu Quan were both officers in Li Chengdong's army, Hu Quan was Li Chengdong's personal soldier, and Qin Zhisheng was Li Chengdong's subordinate Zheng Kuiguo's commander-in-chief. In the second year of the Yongli calendar, Li Chengdong led his troops to attack Ganzhou, Jiangxi anyway, but he never thought he would be defeated and drowned.

After Cheng Dong died, the dragons had no leader, the generals surrendered and retreated, when Zheng Kuiguo was ordered to guard Xinyuan City, after the Qing army approached. Zheng Kuiguo even abandoned the city regardless of the fact that there were thousands of family members of the soldiers and soldiers in the city. He ran away and killed the thousands of family members after the Qing army entered the city.

Song Xianggong said that among the families of thousands of soldiers and soldiers in the army, there may be people whom Qin Zhisheng admires because of the fight. Every year on the ninth day of April, when Xinyuan broke the city, Qin Zhisheng would find a lonely place to drink in the back mountain alone. Once, Ge Yi accidentally saw Qin Zhisheng crying in the direction of Xinyuan in the northeast.

Whether Qin Zhisheng's loved ones or relatives were slaughtered by the Qing army in Xinyuan City, Qin Zhisheng, the party concerned, did not say anything, and others could only guess. Zhou Shixiang had no intention of digging into this matter. But I feel that this matter is probably not much different from what Song Xianggong said. It was because of the abandonment of the city that thousands of old and weak women and children died tragically, so today Qin Zhisheng would rather die than break through, because he knows better than anyone. This so-called breakout is actually abandoning the city and abandoning those old and weak women and children who cannot break out with the army.

The bald Jiang He was the most vicious looking brother of Daqiaoshan Cong. When Zhou Shixiang was discovered by them, Jiang He was also the most vicious towards him. But it's strange to say that Jiang He's life is very big. From the beginning of the capture of Luo Ding, this guy has never been injured at all, and he has not even encountered a dangerous situation, which is very embarrassing.

Regarding whether to break through, Jiang He was neutral, neither supporting Shao Jiugong and Li Fuguo, nor Tie Yi and Qin Zhisheng, but said that everything should be listened to by Qianhu. Just stick to it.

This is tantamount to saying it in vain, and it is similar to the later generations' "who supports whom in the central government". Jiang He had the same attitude as the guard camp to test the regeneration of a hundred households, and the tiger camp to test the hundred households Zhang Erjiang and others.

Song Erniu and Zheng Erniu, the two test households with cattle in their names, were killed and refused to break out. Their situation was similar to that of the trapped camp. They all had wives, children, young and old in the city.

The dispute between the two sides was fierce, and the military meeting was ultimately unsuccessful, because the main purpose of Zhou Shixiang's summoning of the generals was not to discuss the breakout, but to make detailed arrangements for the defense of the city, and to make up for several gaps caused by the Qing army's strong attack, Now it is given up because the direction of the military discussion has turned to whether or not to break out of the encirclement.

Finally ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Zhou Shixiang announced that because of Ge Zheng's death, the position of the 100 households in the prison camp was vacant, and now Ge Yi took the lead.

Unexpectedly, after the generals returned, the news about the Taiping army breaking out of the siege was spread in the city, and all of a sudden, the five battalions of soldiers and the rear battalion were old and weak, and people panicked. Those old and weak women and children were crying together in the back camp, lest Zhou Shixiang, a thousand households, would abandon them.

The cries of women and children naturally aroused the hearts of the men in the barracks. Officers and soldiers with family members in the rear camp surrounded their trial and hundred households and questioned whether there was a breakthrough. Under the excitement of the crowd, some soldiers even took off their military uniforms angrily, threatening to stop working for the Taiping Army.

It happened so suddenly,

Zhou Shixiang was stunned for a while, because he had repeatedly told the officers attending the meeting that no one should disclose all the news about the breakthrough. However, the fact is that his gag order did not work, and the rumors of breaking through the siege became more and more intense in the city, almost to the point of shaking the hearts of the army.

Zhou Shixiang and Song Xianggong patted the table at the same time and determined that there was a ghost behind this incident! (To be continued.)
