Jin Yiwei came to Huguang to identify the authenticity of the waistband.

Huang Yanzhong nodded after seeing the badge, and then said to Gu Shilong: "I have arranged four people in Changsha City, and the news has been cut off for more than a month."

Gu Shilong understood what he meant - he only gave him a waist badge.

Maybe he was caught in the city, maybe there was fraud.

Gu Shilong only stared at the envoy who came out of the city to ask for surrender: "Do you have any position in the Changsha Guards?"

"...The guilty general is only the chief flag officer of Wei Zhong, nicknamed Feng Sanhu."

"Who is the leader in the city now?"

"The original conductor was Jin Xianghong."

Gu Shilong looked at the names on the surrender letter, closed it and said calmly: "Since the rebellion is first and the imperial army is surrounding the city, if you want to ask for surrender, then you should open the city gates, all the officers and soldiers leave the city, abandon your armor and kneel to greet you.

Master Wang, please wait for the court to deal with it. I don’t believe what is said here about being held hostage by Tang Peiyu, and I won’t make any conditions. Go back and tell Jin Xianghong that he has met me twice, and he knows my temper. How to choose?

You have half an hour."

After Feng Sanhu was escorted out, Gu Shilong said to Huang Yanzhong: "There has been an unexpected change in Changsha City. Our army will only enter the city in two or three days. Please Huang Xingxing quickly rush to the Shenji Camp and confirm with General Ji today."

What do the rebel generals who came out of the city look like to rob the camp? See if Tang Peiyu is really no longer in Changsha City. Si Cong is also there. Next, we have to trouble Huang Xingxing to dispatch the Jin Yiwei men to investigate the Xiangtan and Hengzhou lines. We must

Keep an eye on the defeated rebel army."

Huang Yanzhong knew Tang Peiyu. Hearing this, he clasped his fists and accepted the order, and began to gallop towards the south.

After Huang Yanzhong also left, someone said: "Master Hou, do you really think you don't want to fly into Beijing first?"

Gu Shilong's face was solemn: "The city has not yet been conquered and the people have not been captured. What use does your majesty have for this good news?"

After that, he had no intention of eating and went straight to the front of the camp to look at the city gate not far away.

If they rebel first and then surrender, they will have a way to survive. What will this make some people in other provinces think? If they are not given a way to survive, although the morale in Changsha City is already low and there are not many soldiers, it will be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

What's more, if the city is devastated due to war, and Changsha Mansion is full of complaints due to the continuous war, the disaster victims and refugees will also be in great danger.

I hope that if the four Jinyi captains in the city are still there, they can understand what Gu Shilong needs now.

In Changsha City, Jin Xianghong couldn't help but stood up after hearing Feng Sanhu's report: "Half an hour?"

"More than two moments have passed." Feng Sanhu asked anxiously, "General, what should we do?"

Jin Xianghong was the former commander of the Changsha Guards, so he could not be held hostage by Tang Peiyu. However, in today's battle at Yangmei Mountain, half of the elite soldiers in the city had gone, and Tang Peiyu himself had been defeated and fled south. How could the city of Changsha be defended?

"I have captured the traitors Zhu Jianjun, Fu Rongzhong and others, but the Marquis still can't believe me?" Jin Xianghong asked about the Jinyi Colonel Xiao Kai who came out to contact him and persuaded him to surrender.

"I had already persuaded Jin Qianshi to kidnap Zhu Jianjun and others and surrender from Kaicheng. Jin Qianshi insisted on using my badge to send envoys to negotiate terms. The conspiracy was true and the confession was sent out. Jin Qianshi thought it was true.

Is this child's play?" Xiao Kai is actually under guard now, he just came forward boldly.

Jin Xianghong's face looked ugly.

His official position was already very high before. If he couldn't tolerate others, how could he survive?

Nowadays, it can be said that the ordinary soldiers, small flag officers, chief flag officers and even hundreds of households can't help themselves, but no one who is deputy to a thousand households or above can stay out of the matter.

What should I do if I can't defend but I can't, if I surrender but I'm killed again?

"General, what should we do?" Feng Sanhu urged him.

Xiao Kai stared at him and said: "If Jin Qian has no idea, please step back and listen to me."

Jin Xianghong was silent for a moment and then waved. When there were only two people left in the room, he asked, "What are your ideas?"

"To be honest, I'm not the only one with the royal guards in the city. If a war breaks out, you can't keep all the doors from being opened."

Jin Xianghong's expression changed and he stared at him.

"If you continue to resist, the clan's execution will be certain. If you and a few fifth-grade and above can take the blame, and let the rest of the Changsha Guards escort King Ni out of the city to surrender, their merits and demerits will be equal, and at most they will be punished and serve as sidemen.

.”

"When the memorandum was sent out, many brothers didn't know it at all! They just became rebels, so what can they do?" Jin Xianghong said angrily.

"But you, Jin Xianghong, knew that. Otherwise, why would Tang Peiyu take you as the leader to command the city's defenders before he left the city?" Xiao Kai said unceremoniously, "Don't worry, I told you to shoulder the blame, not to kill you.

"

"……how do I say this?"

Xiao Kai stared at him and said: "Self-immolation out of fear of crime. You follow me and you will remain anonymous from now on. I will explain the matter to you. From now on, you will all go to the Foreign Inspection Factory and go to Nanyang!"

Jin Xianghong did not expect such a proposal.

"... Foreign inspection factory? Going to Nanyang?" He gritted his teeth, "Why do you have such ability?"

"The sooner the rebellion is put down, the better. If you don't resist, it will be a meritorious service. Capture the rebel leader first, voluntarily kill the one behind, and leave a blood letter to protect the family. In the Ming Dynasty, you must kill! As long as the result is spread,

Why does Your Majesty have to really kill you? You have done meritorious service in Nanyang, and the Foreign Inspectorate is short of people!"

Not everyone is willing to go to Nanyang, but everyone in the Jinyiwei walking system knows how ambitious His Majesty is in setting up internal and external factories and has great plans for the future.

Jin Xianghong just asked: "How can I trust you?"

Xiao Kai replied in a cold tone: "Do you still have a choice?"

Jin Xianghong was silent and speechless.

More than a quarter of an hour later, a fire was lit in the city of Changsha, and then at the north corner of the east side of the city, Feng Sanhu and others looked at the fireworks in the southwest with tears in their eyes.

What they heard was Jin Xianghong's rhetoric.

I am crying now, not because I believe it or not, but because my fate is still uncertain after leaving the city.

Looking at Zhu Jianjun and others with disheveled hair and tied up in front of them, Feng Sanhu spat bitterly, and then shouted: "Open the city gate!"

From the time of July 23rd when the flag was raised in rebellion to the night of August 27th when Changsha City opened its doors and surrendered, and Zhu Jianjun, Fu Rongzhong and others were captured, more than a month had passed.

Under the protection of his own soldiers and surrounded by the rest of the army, Gu Shilong surrounded the more than 3,000 people who were kneeling there after leaving the city.

Zhu Jianjun lost his complacency a month ago and the high spirits he had when he killed Wang Bangrui and others to sacrifice the flag. When Jin Xianghong led people into the palace, he discovered that his influence on Changsha Guards was limited to Tang Peiyu. And Tang Peiyu was probably just needed.

It's just his flag.

Gu Shilong just looked at him indifferently, glanced around and then asked: "Where is Jin Xianghong?"

"...I report to the Marquis that Jin Qianshi and five people from the Zhengqian household, all of whom know that the crime is unforgivable, have left blood letters in the city to express their love and committed suicide. The king of Ni was captured and surrendered, and Jin Qianshi was executed.

Decision. We have nothing to do as the officers and soldiers of the King's Division have suddenly turned into rebels."

A deputy Qianhu who was present now said it sincerely - to him, it was like this.

But Gu Shilong was looking everywhere: "Where is Xiao Kai?"

"Captain Xiao is not a rebel, so he welcomes the Marquis into the city at the city gate."

Gu Shilong looked in the direction of the city gate: "First, take him to the Mianyang Guard Camp and watch him."

After saying that, he patted his horse and went outside the city gate. Xiao Kai stepped forward and saluted: "Xiao Kai, under the command of Jin Yiwei Hu Guangxing, is here to see the Marquis. The Marquis suppressed the rebellion with great speed and his achievements are unparalleled in the world."

Gu Shilong frowned: "Jin Xianghong and the others really committed suicide?"

Xiao Kai nodded: "Here is the blood letter."

Gu Shilong read the "blood letter" at the city gate. It was nothing more than Tang Peiyu and Zhu Jianjun conspiring to capture many officials in the Changsha Prefecture who refused to rebel. The rebellion of the Changsha Guards had become a fact. Now that the Japanese army has arrived,

In order to avoid the loss of life in Changsha, they surrendered to Kaicheng after Tang Peiyu's defeat. They knew that although they were coerced, they failed to rise up and capture the rebel leader at the beginning, which was an unforgivable crime. They committed suicide and died. I only hope that Your Majesty will show mercy.

, just to avoid the disaster of the entire clan being executed.

"...Master Hou, how do you write a good news?"

Gu Shilong took a deep look at Xiao Kai: "Huang Xingxing said that besides you, there are three Jinyi captains in the city. Where are they?"

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. If it were not for military reasons, the identity of the humble minister and the walking master should not be known. After this matter is over, the humble minister and the walking master must have other missions."

Gu Shilong then turned around and said: "Send this blood book, Ni Wang Baoyin, etc. to the capital together with the victory news. It also states that the Jinyi Guards commanded from Luo to Xiao Xiaowei, as well as the Shenji Battalion's selected striker Yang Meishan in the battle before the capture of Changsha.

Function. Please report to your majesty that Tang Peiyu has fled south, Pu Zitong and Zhan Huabi have not yet been captured. I am resting for a while in Changsha City and will go south to Hengzhou Prefecture soon."

…

Zhu Jianjun was not the real protagonist in the rebel propaganda, he put Prince Rui in the first place.

For Gu Shilong, the symbolic significance of defeating Changsha is greater than the practical significance - the real result is that the Changsha Guards were defeated by nearly a thousand elite soldiers in the battle of Yangmei Mountain.

But Tang Peiyu escaped, and Pu Zitong and Zhan Huabi were still alive and kicking.

He, the commander-in-chief of Huguang, stayed in Huguang for several years. As a result, three guards conspired and rebelled. Gu Shilong could not afford to take the credit for this.

Even if the rebellion is completely suppressed, it will not be worth the effort.

But Your Majesty needs to let the world see the power of Jinyiwei and Xinjingying.

Lubu flew quickly from Changsha to Beijing, arriving in seven days.

On the fourth day of September, there was no court meeting, and Zhu Houcong was accompanying his two sons, Zhu Zai'an and Zhu Zai'an.

One of them is almost two years old, and the other is only half a year old.
