Wu Keyuan held the dagger in his hand and cut it easily on Hong Chengchou's body.

"Dog thief, are you trying to die quickly, right? I don't meet your wishes."

Wu Keyuan squatted down and walked beside Hong Chengchou.

Generally speaking, after the execution, the executioner will directly cut off the prisoner's head and give him a pleasure.

But Wu Keyuan intended to torture Hong Chengchou and did not do so.

Just as a prisoner who has been cut in half can survive for a while, if the wound is sealed with tung oil, the prisoner will survive longer.

Wu Keyuan ordered people to get an oil barrel that was as tall as the man, and then ordered people to put Hong Chengchou in.

Oil can prevent blood from flowing too fast and make Hong Chengchou feel pain to the greatest extent.

Hong Chengchou was already very weak at this moment, and his sound gradually became much lower.

But he was just hung up and couldn't stop thinking about it, not to mention how painful it was.

Taking advantage of this time, Wu Keyuan, with the cooperation of a group of soldiers, sewed the newly peeled human skin onto the scarecrow.

The blood-stained skin was now processed and attached to the scarecrow and had a human form.

From a distance, there is no difference between him and Hong Chengchou himself.

call!

At this point, Wu Keyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was already sweating profusely, he was still satisfied with the work in front of him.

Originally, he was worried that he would make a mistake, but now it seems that he is still the future of Baodao.

"Your Majesty, I am lucky to be unwilling to be the last one."

Wu Keyuan finished his work and then came to the emperor to surrender.

Zhu Youlang smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you for your hard work, put this scarecrow in the most prosperous place in the city, so that the people can see it every day. It is placed at the head of Hong Zhe, and after he dies, he can be cut off and hung on the city tower."

"Abide by the order!"

After soaking in the oil barrel for half an hour, Hong Chengchou finally swallowed.

According to the emperor's will, Wu Keyuan cut off Hong Chengchou's head, and after simple anti-corrosion treatment such as quicklime, he quickly ordered people to send them to the top of Nanchang city to hang them to warn the world.

The Holy Emperor used practical actions to show the world what the outcome would be to sell the country and surrender.

...

...

After witnessing Hong Chengchou being executed with his own eyes, Shang Zhixinzhi was frightened.

Zhu Youlang's methods are too ruthless, which has exceeded Shang Zhixin's perception.

What's more, the thousands of Shang family soldiers who were captured had already been killed or injured in the process of rushing to the city.

Now Shang Zhixin looked around and could hardly see his own people. It is basically impossible to escape.

So if he wants to survive, he must try his best to please Zhu Youlang, so that Zhu Youlang thinks he is valuable and will not cut him with one knife.

Naturally, Zhu Youlang would not kill Shang Zhixin so easily. After all, in his opinion, Shang Zhixin still has a certain value for use.

Especially when Geng Jimao led his troops to break through.

If Zhu Youlang had no mistakes, Geng Jimao would definitely not stay in Nanchang or even Jiangxi after breaking through, and would definitely run back to Fujian without stopping.

No matter how the Qing court ordered it, Geng Jimao would definitely not send troops again.

Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of the well rope, so Geng Jimao almost lost his life in Nanchang. Naturally, everything was about to be stable.

For Zhu Youlang, he naturally does not want to fight on the third line, so the kingly way is to keep Shang Kexi as stable as possible.

If he killed Shang Zhixin with one sword, Shang Kexi would definitely fight to the death with the Ming army in his grief.

When you are attacked by two lines, the pressure on the Ming army will increase sharply.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang will not provoke Shang Kexi for the time being, and it will not be too late to return to deal with the Shang family after the Qing Dynasty was resolved.

Shang Zhixin is a trump card in his hand. Zhu Youlang has the final say when and how to play.

Therefore, he also took the initiative.

Zhu Youlang's initial idea was to ask for some firearms and food.

After all, Guangdong has a special geographical location, with the Portuguese gathering area in the Haute Cun, and there are enough artillery, firearms, etc.

In addition, the climate in the south is mild, and rice is ripe twice or even three times a season. It is not unreasonable for Guan Shangjia to ask for some food.

Zhu Youlang believed that Shang Kexi was eager to save his son and would definitely agree to his request.

Zhu Youlang wrote a handwritten letter and asked Shang Zhixin to press his handprint, and then ordered someone to send it to Guangdong.

For the next period of time, the Ming army focused on regaining the entire territory of Jiangxi and sending troops to southern Zhili, and taking over southern Zhejiang, without much energy to pay attention to Guangdong and Fujian.

However, no matter what, the Ming army had the last laugh in the battle of Jiangxi. Although the Ming army suffered heavy losses in this battle and lost a lot of troops, it almost wiped out tens of thousands of Qing army troops.

After this war, the Qing army was damaged, and it was not so easy to make a comeback.

Now, Lang Tingzuo and Shi Lang are the ones who have become a climate in the south?

This Qing army, dominated by naval troops, was very cunning. If they couldn't defeat it, they could run away and even escape to the sea.

According to Zheng Chenggong, Shi Lang's navy was very powerful, and the navy second only to his command should not be underestimated.

Zhu Youlang also understood the importance of controlling sea power, but at present, the navy of other Ming army troops can at most fight inland rivers and lakes, and it is not good to carry out large-scale naval battles. In this regard, Zhu Youlang can only rely on Zheng Chenggong.

However, in some inland operations in southern Zhili and southern Zhejiang, the Hu Ben Army and various Ming Army can play their roles.

At this moment, Zhu Youlang could not wait to recover the lost land everywhere.

The whole army was naturally filled with joy.

I'm back, I'm back.

If you continue to fight at this speed, it will take less than a year and a half to recover the lost territory in the south and divide the river with the Tatars to rule.

After a little rest, you can launch a large-scale Northern Expedition after expanding your army for a little while.

Only two provinces left, the Ming Dynasty was able to turn the tables in desperate situations. Wouldn’t it be easier when the north and south confronted each other?

Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, and Kuidong are all full of confidence at this moment.

In addition, Zhu Youlang wanted to go to Nanjing.

After all, Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty during the founding of the Ming Dynasty and the place where Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the country.

As a descendant of the Zhu family, if Zhu Youlang could worship at Xiaoling, it would undoubtedly be a great inspiration for the benevolent and ambitious people in the world.

If there were more uprisings like Shandong, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule would be shaken, and then the Ming army would have a longer time to recuperate and restore combat effectiveness.

This will also be extremely beneficial to the future Northern Expedition.

After all, after a series of battles, this main Ming army was already very tired. If you can't get enough rest, it will collapse sooner or later.

Humans are not machines. The reason why they can win battles is because of this tone. However, Zhu Youlang cannot squeeze the soldiers too much. He still needs to have rest.
