When Zhang Kewang said that he had decided to surrender, the soldiers in the city were shocked.

They have considered many possibilities, but they have not taken this possibility into consideration.

The Emperor Daxi, whom he beloved, actually wanted to surrender to the Tartars!

Most of the soldiers felt that they had been insulted and their faces turned red.

The remaining small number of people breathed a sigh of relief.

Surrender can at least save your life. If you continue to fight, it is very likely that they will all die.

Of course, Zhang Kewang understood what surrender meant. Not only would he lose the identity of Emperor Daxi and the respect of his soldiers, he would also have to kneel down on the ground and be a slave to the Tartars.

He heard that life and death of being a slave is all in the mind of the master. If the master is unhappy, he can kill his slave at any time.

But what if you don’t surrender?

What's the point of fighting to the end?

Zhang Kewang is still young and he doesn't want to die.

After the order was conveyed, the hands of the soldiers of the Daxi Army froze, and there was a dead silence in the air.

Zhang Kewang couldn't stand it, so he took the lead in walking down the city to order the soldiers to open the city gate.

He led his personal soldiers to kneel down to welcome the Qing army into the city.

Boro, who was watching the game in the distance, was stunned. What's going on?

Hong Chengchou was also stunned.

Logically speaking, the Western Army still has some fighting, so why did they open the city and surrender?

"Mr. Hong, there is no fraud in this, right?"

Boro asked suspiciously.

No wonder he asked this, the time when Zhang Kewang surrendered was too strange.

"Don't be anxious, Master Beile, we can ask Zhang Kewang to leave the city and receive surrender."

Hong Chengchou was very scheming. In his opinion, as long as Zhang Kewang left the city to surrender, the Qing army would not be in any danger.

Even if Zhang Kewang decides to take a sudden blow, he is definitely not a match for the Qing army.

But it is not certain that he will be surrendered in the city. Zhang Kewang can completely arrange it in advance and use the advantage of the number of people to form a local advantage of fighting more and even crushing.

Therefore, the Qing army could accept Zhang Kewang's surrender, but they must have left the city to receive surrender.

This is also a sign of sincerity in surrendering. I believe Zhang Kewang will not refuse.

Boro nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, that's good."

He paused for a moment and then continued: "Benbeile thinks Zhang Kewang is also a useful talent, which will be of great benefit to us pacifying other parts of Sichuan."

His words came to the point.

The Western Army's control over Sichuan was concentrated in Chengdu and its surrounding areas, Baoning, Jianchang and other places.

As for eastern Sichuan, it was in the hands of the Ming army.

Now Baoning can be regarded as a winner. After taking Chengdu, the next goal of the Qing army is Jianchang.

Jianchang itself is not as important as eastern Sichuan, but it is a key to Yunnan and its geographical location is very important.

If the Qing army took Jianchang, it would be very convenient if it conquered Yunnan in the future.

"Beller is wise, so we should treat Zhang Kewang well and comfort him."

A person like Zhang Kewang has little integrity. As long as he can promise benefits, he will be willing to do things for the Qing Dynasty.

However, another general in the Western Army, Zhang Dingguo, was a little worried about Hong Chengchou.

Not only is this person very capable, but he also has a stubborn spirit. It is not easy to surrender him.

Of course, the most important thing at the moment is to recruit Zhang Kewang and recruit the surrendered Western Army.

The Western Army in the city had at least tens of thousands of people. After the incorporation and organization into the Green Camp Army was a great supplement to the Qing army's strength.

Hong Chengchou knew very well that this kind of thing was to be done by Boluo, so he advised Boluo: "Master Bell, please preside over the surrender ceremony in person."

Boluo nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

The Qing army proposed that Zhang Kewang leave the city and receive surrender.

Zhang Kewang has nothing to say about this.

Since you have decided to surrender, your face is not important.

I am a fisherman, and I am a fisherman. If the knife is held in the hands of others, what else can he do besides choosing to obey?

In order to express his sincerity in surrender, Zhang Kewang even took off his shirt and exposed his abdomen, and tied a thorn on his back. He ordered his personal soldiers to tie their hands and decided to take the thorns and apologize for guilt, begging for forgiveness from the commander of the Qing army.

He did everything to survive, and what is his face?

Although his personal soldiers were unhappy, they had to choose to obey.

They and Zhang Kewang both prospered and lost. Since Zhang Kewang had chosen to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, they naturally had to obey.

All the Western Army walked out of the city one after another after taking the initiative to disarm.

After walking to the location stipulated by the Qing army, they all fell to their knees and held their hands behind their backs.

Qing soldiers stepped forward and tied the hands of Western soldiers with ropes.

According to the rules, these surrendered prisoners cannot be immediately assigned to the Green Camp Army, but need to undergo strict screening.

If you find that those with ulterior motives are killed, you will be killed.

Although the Qing army was eager for replenishing soldiers, they also understood the principle that it was better to have nothing than to be extra.

It would be terrible if there were unstable factors in the army.

As for Zhang Kewang's life and death, it is naturally decided by Boluo.

Boluo strided to Zhang Kewang and pulled out his sword with a whoosh.

Zhang Kewang's head was lowered at this moment, and his nervous heart was pounding.

What did the Qing army commander draw his sword? Are you going to kill him?

Zhang Kewang felt a sense of sadness and felt deeply despair.

When he felt the deadline was approaching, Boro waved his knife and cut off the rope that bound his hands.

ah!

It turned out that the Qing army commander didn’t want to kill him!

Zhang Kewang felt a burst of ecstasy.

He kowtowed to Boluo desperately, and said in like a Manchu: "I thank my master for not killing me, and thank my master for being kind."

He still felt a little unsatisfied when he knocked on it several times, so he climbed in front of Boro and kissed Boro's boots.

Zhang Kewang's move made Boluo a little embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a moment.

It was still Hong Chengchou who stepped forward to rescue the siege and said, "General Zhang knows his mistakes and can improve it. Master Beile knows people and uses them well, so he will definitely not treat you badly."

"Ah, yes, yes! Benbeile is most interested in talents like General Zhang. As long as you do your best to do your best to do things for the Qing Dynasty, Benbeile will not treat you badly."

Boro immediately followed the conversation.

Zhang Kewang breathed a sigh of relief.

He is safe for the time being.

He was eager to please Boro, so he gritted his teeth and said, "The slave was blinded by the thief for a while and actually recognized the thief as his father. Thanks to the master's army, he led his troops to let the slave recognize the true face of the thief. This slave surnamed Zhang will never use it anymore, so he asked the master to give him his surname."

Boluo frowned when he heard this.

This Zhang Kewang is too shameless. Zhang Xianzhong is dead, so he should restore his original surname, so how could he ask someone to give him a surname?

What's more, when giving a surname to such a person, Boluo felt that he was defiled with the surname he gave.
