The unexpected joy of getting Xinhuicheng made Chen Qice's subordinates all have a good impression of the Taiping Army, and the extra supplies that Wu Yuan had previously offered were naturally not mentioned again. . шщш.㈦㈨ⅹS.сом is updated very fast. Not only that, Chen Qice also ordered the generals to do their best to allocate some of the captured troops to the Taiping Army to develop in Xiangshan. Although the number was not large, Zhou Shixiang was still very grateful and thanked the old general in person.

After a day of counting, the approximate number of seizures by the Taiping Army in this battle was counted by Duke Xiang of Song. As expected by Zhou Shixiang in advance, although the Qing army was in danger of running out of food, the skinny camels were bigger than horses. More than 200 stones of grain were still found from the Qing army camps, most of which were stationed in the Han army banners. in the camp. If it wasn't for the Qing army setting fire everywhere when they were withdrawing, I'm afraid there would be more food that could be grabbed.

The Taiping Army found more than 200 stone of grain, which translates to nearly 20,000 catties of grain and grass. Although the navy was only responsible for cleaning up the supplies at the green camp site, it should be rewarded. There should be about 30,000 catties of the army's remaining food and grass. These grains are eaten sparingly, and even if some are distributed to the young and strong people, it will be enough for them to last for another two or three days. But even so, the Qing army still served as ≠ωáń≠Book≠Roba. After entering the city, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Li Ruitai, found that the remaining food and grass in the city was enough to support the defenders for more than a month.

It's true that people's life is like a mustard in the 'chaotic' world. Just imagine that if Shang Kexi could give each of the people who were about to starve to death a bowl of porridge, Zhou Shixiang wouldn't have seen corpses everywhere. In connection with the brutality of the Qing army, Zhou Shixiang could imagine what the defeated soldiers who did not eat would do to the villages and towns along the way on the way back to Guangzhou. He wanted to stop but was unable to return to the sky, he could only sigh secretly, and hoped that the Taiping army would grow as soon as possible, and the Qing army could be completely driven out of Guangdong. Get out of the gate completely.

In addition to food, there were more than 10,000 weapons discarded by the Qing army. Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to lead people to sort out intact weapons that could be used by 5,000 people, and the rest were given to the navy. However, the guns and the captured artillery were not given to the navy for one shot and one 'door', which he kept for great use. Not to mention the fire guns, there are more than 60 'gates' of artillery pieces. With the addition of Xinhuichengtou, the Taiping Army suddenly has more than 100 'gates' of artillery pieces. It can be said that there are so many artillery pieces. Afraid, the gunner will be equipped in place in the future. Concentrating the use of artillery can definitely shock any Qing army in Guangdong.

When the Han army Xianglanqi retreated, they didn't have time to blow up the 'medicine' warehouse. Tie Yi led someone to grab several thousand kilograms of 'medicine' and carefully transported them into the city like a treasure.

The number of mules, horses and livestock seized was also very considerable. The Qing army was reluctant to give food to the people, but they were willing to feed these livestock with a small amount of food. When they fled, they took away a lot of gold and silver, but few people took the livestock away, and it was all cheaper for the Taiping Army and the navy. The Taiping Army acquired more than 300 mules and horses, as well as more than 30 "Mongolian" war horses that had lost their owners. The navy did not get a few war horses. But the number of horses and mules was more than that of the Taiping Army.

The rest of the material cleanup is still in progress, both the Taiping Army and the navy are cleaning up the battlefield with the principle of not 'wasting'.

Because the Taiping Army has a public treasury system. Therefore, gold and silver jewelry is not what the soldiers want most, but it is the premise of Zhou Shixiang's foothold in Xiangshan. He asked Zhao Sihai to collect all the gold and silver seized into the public treasury, and when he was ready to arrive at Xiangshan, he immediately took the hard currency to Macau. 'Go shopping for ordnance.

Count this harvest. The Taiping Army has more than 3,000 taels of gold and 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver, and other copper coins cannot be counted. Only about seven or eight hundred kilograms can be obtained.

Like the gold and silver seized by the Qing army in the past, many of the fine gold and silver that Zhou Shixiang saw were stained with blood.

….

After the war, the outside of Xinhui City was very calm. Only the still-burning military tent, the smell of blood and the corpses everywhere told the world that a war had just happened here, and there had just been a slaughterhouse. , where countless fresh lives have just passed away.

Because there were too many corpses, neither the Taiping Army nor the navy could burn the corpses on a large scale, otherwise the smell of burnt corpses would be enough to make it difficult to stay in Xinhui City for half a moment. After Zhou Shixiang and Chen Qice discussed, they each sent someone to dispose of the corpse. Zhou Shixiang ordered the bodies of the Taiping soldiers who died in battle to be buried in the trenches dug by the Qing army. The corpses of the Qing soldiers were piled up randomly, stripped of their clothes, searched for everything that could be used, and then dragged them to the riverside and discarded them.

There are more than 4,000 young people who have survived. For these poor people who are starving and malnourished, and walk swaying, Zhou Shixiang intends to include them in the Taiping Army as a supplement for future soldiers and production labor, but considering Chen Qice is It is not because of this thought, so he did not intercept these people without authorization, but asked Hu De 'Yu', who handled affairs for Chen Qice, for his opinion.

Sure enough, the navy had already made the idea of ​​these young men and women~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Hearing that Zhou Shixiang also wanted these men, Hu De Yu immediately showed a look of embarrassment, he said. The navy is about to take over the Xinhui, and it needs to be replenished to prevent the Qing army from attacking again. Therefore, these young and strong civilians are the best supplements for the soldiers of the navy. After all, these civilians have been in the Qing army camp for several months and have a certain organization. Ordinary people are much stronger. Furthermore, if the navy did not accept them, they would be letting them go, and most of these people would not be able to return to their hometown alive.

Hu De'yu' had very good reasons, but Zhou Shixiang couldn't stop there. After several discussions, Zhou Shixiang and Hu De'yu' finally agreed that half of these people, young and strong, should be divided.

The affairs of the people are easy to deal with, but it is only a matter of food, and the surrendered Qing army is not so easy to deal with. The Taiping army captured more than a thousand Qing soldiers, and the navy captured even more, nearly 3,000. So many prisoners are not enough for the Taiping Army and the navy to eat.

Hu De'Jade's opinion is very clear. These Qing troops have Han army flag soldiers and green battalion soldiers, but all of them are executioners whose hands are stained with the blood of the Ming people. If they are released, they will take up arms and make enemies of the Ming army. They were not at ease when they were left behind, so they all rushed to the river to drown and died.

This opinion shocked Zhou Shixiang very much.
