Chapter 535: Nanning City Breaks

During the Zhaoqing military discussion, Zhou Shixiang made a compromise to the military leaders in western Guangdong in order to integrate the forces of the Guangdong Ming army as soon as possible to avoid spending time and energy on internal friction, so as to compromise the leaders of western Guangdong and give them the treatment of the newly formed towns. Xiong Chaozuo was not sure whether this case would be reopened in the future, but he was sure that the surrendered troops in Guangxi would not enjoy such treatment. Dismantling the Qing army in Guangxi and relocating them separately was an unshakable military order issued by the Military Commander's Office to each town, so Xiong Chaozuo could not let go and had no right to make changes.

The conditions have been issued and adapted to ensure the safety of all personnel, and not to pursue the crimes they committed in the past, including participating in the city massacre. This condition is quite preferential for most people. Therefore, most officials showed the ease of falling into the ground. At this moment, they all looked at Wang Guowei at the same time, waiting for the general to make a final decision.

Nanning Prefect Xie Jun was next to Wang Guowei, and he saw the closest ones that were the ones he saw the most clearly. He found that Wang Guowei was very hesitant and was a little confused.

Wang Guowei was indeed in a difficult situation. The conditions for surrender he had thought before were just to change the banner, and to replace the banner of the Qing Dynasty on the city with the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from that, nothing would change. In this way, even if the Qing army fought back in the future, he could surrender to the Qing Dynasty again. After all, Nanning is now an isolated city, and the court could not demand that he really stick to the end and use the lives of the civil and military families in the city to defend the Qing Dynasty to the end.

But now, the Taiping Army has proposed the condition to be adapted, which has cut off Wang Guowei's retreat. Once the Taiping Army is adapted, he thinks that all his troops will be swallowed by the other party, and there will be no residue left. It is also a problem whether he, the general, has done it. Nowadays, if his subordinates have no soldiers, it will be difficult to survive in both the Ming and Qing dynasties.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Guowei finally spoke: "How do I believe that your army will not break its promise?"

"You can only believe what you don't have." Xiong Chaozuo turned the railway firm and looked bitter in his face, feeling very happy.

Wang Guowei was silent for a moment and said, "Can some people leave Guangxi?"

"No, you will either surrender or die."

Xiong Chaozuo knew that Wang Guowei wanted to let some officials towards the Qing court, but his answer was unconventional. Zhou Dashen said clearly in the military order that Guangxi officials would not be allowed to escape unless they surrendered.

"This matter is too much to do, can I let you think about it?"

Wang Guowei was undecided and decided to delay. If the Taiping Army could give him a few days, things would turn around.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Chaozuo's answer was: "Yes, but you must make a reply in an hour. Even if there is half a stick of incense for the period exceeding the deadline, our army will regard you as having no sincerity in surrender. When the city is broken, as our army said, all officials of Nanning and their families will die."

After saying that, Xiong Chaozuo didn't even look at the Nanning officials who looked confused, and turned around as if no one was present.

After Xiong Chaozuo left, Nanning officials immediately started arguing, and the surrender conditions offered by the Taiping Army were also quickly spread to the whole city during their argument.

In this world, although small people cannot affect the overall situation, small people and big people consider the problem differently. As the general, Wang Guowei hesitated whether he would be deprived of military power if he surrendered, but the Qian Zhengs under his command thought more about why the general didn't order the city to open? Could it be that they would die together with their family Xiao and Nanning City?

The senior generals held heavy troops and had the right to speak on this major matter, so they were quarreling for their own interests. The little people were quick and easy. They didn't have many soldiers in their hands, and the most were only a hundred people. Even if they took it out, they couldn't let the Ming army outside the city look at them, but when these little people gathered together, they had the ability to leverage the situation.

Just as the general and the generals and officials were quarreling, the two generals from the Nanning Green Camp gathered together, one of the Qian generals from the Han army from Dingnan vassals, and began to plot against something.

"Is it okay to just accept the adaptation?" The president surnamed Qi asked the Qianzheng, who was born in the Han army with a look of surprise. The general was named Lu De, a native of Jinzhou, Liaodong. However, his family moved to Guangxi with the King of Dingnan as early as the fifth year of Shunzhi. They were all in Nanning City.

"That's what the Ming army people said."

Lu De told the Ming army about what the people from the Ming army said to these two generals. They were happy after hearing this. For the lower-level officers, adaptation was not a problem at all. They were originally Ming army, and there was no problem of having a hurdle in their hearts. Nowadays, as long as there is food to eat, it is not a seller for whom. The situation is very obvious. Nanning City can't last long. If the Ming army really wants to attack twice, the city will be broken in the near future. When the city is broken, let alone adaptation, it will be God who can save his life and the Bodhisattva Dad will bless him. Therefore, they accepted the conditions for surrender from the heart. The problem is that whether the city is opened or not is they determined whether they will surrender or not.

Qiba, full of surprise, thought of this question. He asked Lu De: "We don't want to fight, but what should we do if the superiors disagree?"

Lu De said "sigh": "No matter how we care about our lives or death, let me tell you the truth. Liuzhou and Xunzhou have surrendered, and Guilin is also occupied by the Ming army, so we have no reinforcements at all."

After hearing this, another president named Jiang whispered: "As for this reason, is the General Lieutenant lying to us?"

"What do you think?"

Lu De sneered, looked at the city tower where the matter was being discussed, shook his head, and said, "The General and General Wang Shen are discussing this matter. The Ming army said that they will only give them one hour to consider. Once the time comes, we will not accept it even if we want to surrender. At that time, everyone will be dead."

"My second boy just was born, I can't die." Jiang Ba said unwillingly.

"He is allowed to be the first day of the junior high school, but we are not allowed to be the fifteenth day?" Qi Ba Zhang made up his mind and made a prudent move. He said to Lu De and Jiang Ba Zhang: "Or we will open the door and surrender now, right?"

Jiang Barman looked at Lu De. Lu De didn't say anything, but just lit his head. The three of them had made up their minds and saw that the time given by the Ming army was almost close, so they did not dare to delay. They each took their confidants' subordinates to touch the city gate, but ran into the gang general Tong Zheng who was shouting that he wanted to kill all the young and strong cities.

Tong Zheng was born in the Han army flag, and his family members were all in the city of Beijing, so he refused to surrender, but he was afraid that someone would open the city secretly, so he led his personal guards to the city gate to inspect. After discovering Lu De and others, Tong Zheng didn't think much about it because Lu De was also born in the Han army flag. He called Lu De and others over and told them: "The General is discussing the matter. I'm afraid some people in the city were scared by the Ming army. You have to look closely at me. You must look at the city gate carefully. Don't let those Guangxi guys touch it."

"Abide by the orders of humble duties."

While nodding, Lu De winked at Jiang and the others. When Tong Zheng found that there were green camp soldiers around him leaning forward and felt something was wrong and wanted to ask, Lu De suddenly drew his sword and yelled: "I won't do it yet!"

The loud roar alarmed the personal guards under Tong Zheng, but before they could come back to their senses, a group of green camp soldiers rushed up from all directions to kill them.

Tong Zheng was shocked and wanted to draw his sword to resist, but before he could waving the sharp blade in his hand, he found a sharp knife coming out from behind, passing through his chest, and blood came out "cuckoo".

Lu De stabbed Tong Zheng with a knife and said coldly: "General Tong, don't blame me, Bei Zhi also wants to find a way out." As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out the knife. Tong Zheng tried desperately to turn around, but unfortunately all his strength was drained and he fell to the ground, and there was no sound in a blink of an eye.

Tong Zheng's personal guard captain looked at the scene in amazement. He subconsciously ran backward to report the news, but he was blocked by another group of battalions after running a few steps. The green camp soldiers actually didn't understand what was going on. However, seeing the battalion soldiers in front of him killing the Han army, General Tong was killed on the spot, so he also participated. Faced with the large number of green camp soldiers, the personal guard captain could not resist and was quickly chopped to the ground.

"Open the door!"

After Lu De controlled the city gate, he immediately asked Jiang and the others to open the city gate.

After the news that the east gate was opened reached Wang Guowei, who was still quarreling but not making a decision, he stood up and sighed, knowing that he could not do anything anymore. The only way to remedy was to surrender together, otherwise the Ming army might have taken action against them.

After the east gate of Nanning was opened, the Taiping Army in the 11th town outside the city was stunned at first. After the Qing army ran out in the city and said they wanted to surrender, they came to their senses and rushed to the city immediately under the command of the officers.

On September 17, the 12th year of Yongli, Nanning City was broken. General Wang Guowei, general Li Yifu, prefect Xie Jun and others asked to surrender.
