Chapter 72 Zimin

"Boom boom", the huge city wall south of Jinling was filled with smoke and collapsed suddenly, but it was a corner of the tunnel explosives secretly dug by the Pingyuan Army Engineers.

Immediately, amid the roars of mountains and tsunamis, densely packed soldiers in gray uniforms rushed up, bayonets were like forests and as powerful as rainbows. The fifth town of Pingyuan Army launched an extremely fierce attack on Nancheng.

The ocean formed by the red-headed men and gray military uniforms was clearly divided, and fierce battles were everywhere. From a high altitude, the red sea, which made countless red-headed men, was gradually retreated by waves of gray shock waves. The terrifying red tide shrank into the city, and gray mercury penetrated into the city little by little. Gray mercury gradually turned red walls, corner buildings, and roofs of houses turned gray little by little, and the red tide gradually retreated into the city.

In the memoirs of the British speculator who served in the Taiping Army after returning to China, I still remember this battle fresh.

"In a heavy rain, the Chinese government forces and the rebels launched the most cruel battle in the firearm era. I was shocked, yes, I was shocked, and there was only one thought at that time, oh God, the terrible Chinese."

"I have no doubt that the Chinese army is the bravest army in the world, full of the power of wild animals. Even the rebel army composed of the elderly and children will stab the weapons in their hands into the enemy's body without hesitation."

"The Chinese government forces are more civilized and well-trained. They will shout to disarm and not kill. This is a Chinese slogan that represents forgiveness. When the hostile side is disarmed, the government forces often stop shooting them, which is fundamentally different from the Chinese team I have seen before."

The following record obviously describes his impression after being captured.

"I am more sure now that the Chinese government forces are obviously different from any army I have seen before. They are brave, good at fighting, energetic, full of vitality, and have a strong sense of confidence and honor, which I have only seen in the British Empire Navy."

"They are usually kind to prisoners of war and have no instinctive hostility to foreigners, but they like to talk big about how they caused the British and French invaders to be defeated in southern China a few years ago."

"I finally know that they were more brave and cruel than lions when they were angry. I saw with my own eyes a powerful prisoner of war stabbed into the chest by several government soldiers without hesitation. The Regent is the spiritual leader and commander of this government army. According to my observation, the Regent's significance and presence for this army is far greater than that of the Chinese emperor in the south. This is a blind worship feeling, and it permeates the officers and soldiers of this army. Perhaps, this is also the driving force for this army to advance."

Ye Zhao naturally didn't know the article that Linda wrote immediately after returning to China. He even didn't see Linda at all. There were too many prisoners of war, and there were a few Western prisoners of war who participated in the Taiping Army. How could Ye Zhao meet them? Treating people equally is the consistent policy of the Southern Dynasty to treat prisoners of war.

At this time, Ye Zhao was riding his horse in Nanjing, and guns and cannons were roaring everywhere. The three infantry battalions of the second town were approaching the Heavenly King Palace, and the battle reports were coming quickly.

In the shops on both sides of the long street, the soldiers of Pingyuan soldiers entered the door to eliminate the enemy. At first, the people were scared to death, but gradually, they found that these soldiers did not hurt them. Although they were not polite, they even teased a few words when they met a beautiful woman, but they would never beat and scold them, nor would they rob property. So some brave people secretly stuck their heads out and watched the fun curiously.

The horse's hooves sounded lightly, walking on the streets of the ancient capitals of the Six Dynasties, Ye Zhao felt a pilgrimage inexplicably. How many Han regimes have witnessed the rise and fall of Nanjing? Many times, Ye Zhao felt that Nanjing was the real Han capital. Although Nanjing had few dragons and tigers, it was difficult to establish a unified dynasty, but to a certain extent, the singing and dancing of the orioles and dancing, drunkenness and wealth, representing the civilization of the Han people to a certain extent. In fact, the life of lazy little citizens shows that this is a civilized society. But many times, the Han people were not at the right time, and in the era of cold weapons, the splendid civilization could never resist the iron hoofs of the barbarians.

A team of horse soldiers came hurried from afar, interrupting Ye Zhao's thoughts.

Seeing that the prince was covered with ceremonial guards, countless guards and cavalry dismounted one after another. The first one was a female officer, with gray uniforms, leggings and cloth shoes, and a dark face, which was very heroic.

"The female barracks in the sixth town are under the quotation, Zhou Xiuying, the prince!" The female officer knelt down on one knee to pay his respects.

Miss Dadao Show? Ye Zhao was stunned. He had been revered for a long time, but he had never seen him before. He smiled and said, "Get up, hurry up, where are you going?"

Zhou Xiuying said respectfully: "Reply to the prince's words, listened to someone's message, found my stepmother, and gave the lord's order. Let's go and take a look."

"Oh? Is there any news about your father?" Ye Zhao was concerned. Zhou Lichun, Liu Lichuan and others gave Ye Zhao a much better impression than Hong Xiuquan and others.

A trace of gloom flashed across Zhou Xiuying's face and said, "Prince Xie cares, but the mark has not found my father yet."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry, General Zhou will be safe and sound."

Zhou Xiuying was stunned and hurriedly said, "I dare not, the prince will kill his father and I will be with me! The prince's good words will definitely protect my father!"

As they were talking, the wooden door was open on the stone lion steps beside them. Several Pingyuan soldiers saw the prince's ceremonial guards outside. They immediately stood up straight like nails. They walked over to pay their respects to the prince. They were not qualified, so they were able to be attracted by the prince with a few eyes.

Zhou Xiuying pointed to the courtyard and replied, "Prince, it's raining heavily outside! This is the home of the sinful father. Please take shelter from the rain."

In fact, the rain is sparse now, and the sky is getting brighter, unlike the big black clouds that have just rolled, and it seems that people can't even breathe.

Ye Zhao shook the horse whip and said, "No need, go quickly."

"Zha!" Zhou Xiuying took a few steps back and turned into the courtyard.

Ye Zhao looked at this long street with a full of ancient charm, a stone road, a magpie bridge arched like a rainbow not far away, and the green willows are like elegant buildings, weeping willows on the embankment, crabapples in the water, and the wind and moon in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Report! Report to the prince! The fake king Yang Xiuqing was captured!" A small school rushed over and got closer and fell off the horse.

Ye Zhao was so energetic that the King of the East was so angry that he could not have met this person with the most intense debate in history. He was a genius and a genius. The camp he debated for him was clearly distinguished.

"Prince! My mother must come to kowtow to you!" Zhou Xiuying came out of the courtyard and was a little embarrassed.

Ye Zhao was revealed in his heart that he had confirmed his stepmother's identity so quickly and accepted it calmly, which he could not imagine in future generations.

Seeing the prince nodding slightly, Zhou Xiuying felt relieved. At this time, the little Ma family had already helped Ma family walk out in the side door. When Pingyuanjun just entered the house, he really scared the two sisters. Ma family bravely told Zhou Xiuying about his name, and soon the soldiers retreated to the courtyard. Just as the little Ma family and Ma family muttered in a low voice, worried that these soldiers would not report, and whether Brother Zhou's daughter would recognize her as her stepmother, Zhou Xiuying arrived.

Moreover, the dark girl was extremely cheerful. She had already known her father's re-string in the letter more than a year ago. She asked her name and asked her father about her private characteristics. When she saw her father's handwriting, she immediately confirmed Ma's identity and asked about her father's location, but Ma didn't know. But she heard that the Regent was outside the house, and Ma even said that she would come to kowtow to the prince in everything.

When Ye Zhao saw a big belly, he winked at a female guard beside him and turned over and got off the horse. The female guard took two steps and supported Ma, so that she would not bow down.

"Since the prince!" The big and big Ma family knelt down together. The Ma family was supported by the guards, but the little Ma family knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhou Xiuying whispered to the two people's identities next to her. Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "You guys can't be called any sinners. You can live a good life in the future. Moreover, General Zhou has been in contact with me for a long time. There are many old friends in our army. I will borrow more from now on."

At this point, Ma finally let go of his worries. As the Southern Dynasties' official army was as rumored, he did not kill the people or harass women and children. The regent was so kind. Although he did not dare to look at him, his voice was heard, making people feel so comfortable when he heard it.

Xiao Ma's eyes turned red for some reason. He knelt down and kowtowed a few times on the stone slab, saying one by one: "The sinner woman thanked the prince for more than 30 relatives who were suffering from danger. The prince gave him the way of heaven. He waived their hatred and calmed them from now on! The sinner woman's whole family has a grass and a ring of rings in the next life, and she will repay the prince's great kindness!" Blood oozed out of her forehead, and she didn't realize it.

Ye Zhao sighed softly in his heart and said softly: "Okay, that's the same thing. I'll live a good life in the future and I will never suffer such suffering again."

"The prince is protected, and the sinner is waiting for the king of Yongmu!" The little Ma kowtowed hard again, and Ma felt uncomfortable, wiped his tears and insisted on kneeling down.

At this time, the people who were lying on their heads slowly walked out, knelt down from a distance, without saying anything, just kowtowed.

"Prince, Holy Ming!" A scholar from afar kowtowed and shouted loudly.

"The prince is wise!"

"The prince is wise!"

The prince's saints immediately came and went, and the people kowtowed and expressed their emotions loudly. Some were as deep as the sea of ​​long-haired hatred, while others were grateful to the prince's Heavenly Army who entered the city without any offense. As the prince said on the snowflake leaflet, the people of Nanjing were all the children of the regent, and all were blessed by the regent.

The Regent's blessing? These people are immersed in a wonderful mood at this moment. This legendary invincible god of war has since been protecting them, protecting them from war and from disasters. The legend that commands hundreds of thousands of soldiers and is so powerful that it is almost invincible in the world. At this moment, they are truly standing by their side, which makes them feel protected for the first time.

This feeling is hard to describe and express. I just want to kowtow hard to vent and be grateful.
