Jiang Guozhu was shaken, although in the end he still did not clearly answer whether he was willing to surrender, but even the black forehead beside him knew that he was surrendering.
When Zhou Shixiang’s eyes moved from Jiang Guozhu to Forehead Black, Forehead Black thought that the other party was also trying to persuade him to surrender, but he didn’t want the other party but waved someone to take him down and immediately escorted him to Nanjing.
Wang Fuchen lived up to his expectations, captured Liang Huafeng, who was seriously injured, and found the secret edict of Shunzhi from him. The more than 600 Han troops of his troops were killed and wounded, and the remaining more than 100 surrendered.
Liang Huafeng was brought in front of Zhou Shixiang. He was seriously injured. He was stabbed in the chest, a spear in the back, and a shot in his right leg. Blood dripped from the gate of the governor’s yamen to the lobby.
When Liang Huafeng’s eyes fell on Jiang Guozhu’s face, Jiang Guozhu blushed a little, but he immediately adjusted his mentality. Since he had already decided to surrender, why should he care about Liang Huafeng’s eyes. He is now worried that Zhou Shixiang will also persuade Liang Huafeng to surrender, and it will be difficult to deal with the death of loyalty.
Fortunately, Zhou Shixiang did not mean to persuade Liang Huafeng to surrender, but ordered him to be carried down for a little bandage and treatment, and then escorted to Nanjing with Eise Hei.
Wang Fuchen said that Liang Huafeng was already half-dead, so why should he be treated for his injuries, he was pulled down when he died. However, Zhou Shixiang said that this person is of great use. When Wang Fuchen asked what was the use, Zhou Shixiang laughed and did not answer.
Suna and other generals also came from all over at this time. Because of the cooperation of the Qing army, at this time, most of the people of Suzhou City who were sleeping did not know that the city had changed its owner. Coupled with the strict military discipline of the Taiping Army and no offense to the common people, this famous city in the south of the Yangtze River can be said to be “peacefully” handed over to the Taiping Army.
Suna and the others already knew that Zhao Sanwan and the others would be killed. Although they were astonished, they wanted to kill them, so as to save these people from making trouble in the future.
Zhou Shixiang ordered to distribute reward silver to each battalion of the Qing army, and the silver was taken from Jiang Guozhu’s governor’s vassal. If it was not enough, the surrendered generals who were killed must have it. This group of people followed their allegiance from Zhenjiang to Suzhou, all the way from Zhenjiang to Suzhou. This will just use the oil and water they have worked hard to find to appease their subordinates.
Zhou Shixiang also ordered Xinyi Town and Sixth Town to select 2,000 from the surrendered army to supplement them, and then sent another group to Zhenjiang to supplement the third town, and the rest were brought back to Nanjing. He especially instructed that those who surrendered to the army but were unwilling to obey, regardless of officers or soldiers, should all be on the spot to rectify the law, and they must not be tolerated. As for the masters in the camp who were forcibly conscripted by the Qing army, they were each given fifty copper coins and ordered to return to their respective homes.
“I intend to go back to Nanjing tomorrow. Suzhou is guarded by the sixth town. The nearby counties will also send troops to receive them. The original officials and others can use them if they can, but if they cannot, they will be appointed by the governor’s yamen later.” Suna, “Suzhou will be handed over to you. If there is any problem, I’m the only one who asks you.”
“Don’t worry, Commander, with my sixth town, no one will try to steal Suzhou City from me!”
Suna is very happy, there is heaven in the sky, and Suzhou and Hangzhou in the bottom. I didn’t expect the commander to believe in himself so much, and he was quite moved by giving such a good place to him to guard. He was a Manchurian surrender, and his identity was very different in the Taiping Army. However, since he surrendered, he has not been neglected and idled because of his identity, but has been entrusted with reuse. He was even more willing to sacrifice his life for Zhou Shixiang. In addition to the fact that there is no way out, it is also a scholar who dies for his confidant.
Qiu Guoliang, the school of the Brigade of the Third Town, reported that there were a large number of women they had captured from all over the south of the Yangtze River in the Qing military camp. How to arrange them.
Zhou Shixiang thought for a while and instructed Qiu Guoliang: “Ask the women’s hometowns. If there are those who wish to return home, you can organize a special person to **** them back home and hand them over to their families. If there are no family members…”
If there is no arrangement for his family, Zhou Shixiang would really have a headache. When he dealt with Manchu women in Guangzhou in the past, he once wanted to marry these Manchu women as wives in the army, but he was unanimously opposed by the soldiers, and almost no one was willing to take these Manchu women as wives. In the end, as a last resort, the Manchu women had to be distributed to the people through the Guangzhou government, and assigned to those bachelors as wives, and there were many situations of “old and young”. In the end, those who could not even be divided among the people were arranged in Xiangshan County, and they were distributed to their fields like the Han people, and they were ordered to support themselves. I heard that there was an Aixin Gioro woman whose grandfather was Old Nuhachi’s younger brother Yaerhaqi, and a rogue son named Zhang Si. If you count it, that Zhang Si is the royal family of Qing Dynasty.
It is obviously not feasible to assign homeless women to sergeants as wives. After all, these women have caused great harm to the Qing army, and some of them are even sick, and a considerable part may not be able to raise them again in the future. Forcibly rationing them to soldiers who are born and die with them must be irresponsible to their subordinates. The soldiers put their heads up and give their lives, but in the end the commander forcibly gave them a group of broken flowers and willows. There must be complaints in his heart. If he did this, Zhou Shixiang felt that he could not afford these soldiers.
Jiang Guozhu, who has adapted to his mentality, also raised a concern that those women who have a home and can go back, I am afraid that many people will not be able to enter the house in the end.
Zhou Shixiang was startled, and immediately understood what Jiang Guozhu was referring to. The southern part of the Yangtze River is not comparable to Guangdong and Guangxi and Huguang. At the same time, the literary style is prosperous here, and the style of Neo-Confucianism is also prosperous, and the women’s festival is very important. Some people are enlightened and can take back their relatives, but some people are afraid that this will be sad, crying and begging the Taiping Army to save people for them, but the Taiping Army really wants to send people, these people may have a different mentality . Husbands will divorce their wives because they can’t stand the scolding from relatives, friends and neighbors, and fathers can’t stand the shame and force their daughters to become a monk. The human tragedy of the death of the daughter (wife).
People were rescued, but they still had to die in the end. This was definitely something Zhou Shixiang didn’t want to see, and some things couldn’t be changed by government intervention. At least, at the moment, Zhou Shixiang does not have the ability to change some of the inherent concepts of this era.
Enlightenment ~www.readwn.com~ is built on the power of enlightenment from generation to generation, rather than a decree.
Jiang Guozhu offered his idea, he said: “Xiaguan thought it might be better to match these women to those who surrendered to soldiers as wives.”
“Allotment of soldiers to be wives?” Zhou Shixiang was stunned, thinking about the feasibility of this method.
Wang Fuchen said on the side that this method is good, he said: “Whoever does the sin, whoever suffers.”
“Never mind.”
Zhou Shixiang couldn’t think of a better way, so he instructed Qiu Guoliang: “Just do what Governor Jiang wants. Of course, if you are willing to go home, send them home first, and you should let the people who send them back don’t rush to come back and observe for a few days. Make sure that these women will not be forced by the family to come back, otherwise, bring them back, and then they will be married to the soldiers as wives.” After a pause, he added, “If anyone dares to stop them, they will be regarded as pirates.”
Zhou Shixiang asked Jiang Guozhu to come forward to calm the hearts of the city, and asked the doctor of the hospital to treat those poor women.
The next day, when Zhou Shixiang was about to return to Nanjing, the Ministry of Military Intelligence sent a message that Qian Qianyi was coming from Changshu. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
