    "I once again reiterate that our heavenly army is fighting to expel the Qing captives and restore our country of China. Xiang Rong is dead, and the Jiangnan Camp no longer exists. Thinking of my bloodline, I do not want to dwell too much on it.  Killing, I specially advise generals to know their way back, put down their weapons, and do not make unnecessary resistance. Anyone who surrenders to our heavenly army will be protected from infringement on his life and property. You can stay or leave as you wish. If you are lucky and dare to offend our heavenly army  The power of the tiger, fight to the end, the heavenly army is everywhere, and there will be no grass left"

    Ma Tianbao had a sneer on his face after listening to his master read the letter of persuasion to surrender.  He waved his hand to the guards in the tent to take down the surrendered soldier who was delivering the letter, and squeezed out two words between his teeth, "Kill!"

    There was silence in the big tent.  The master didn't know what the generals were thinking. He was just pondering over the letter just now.  It does not conform to the ancient style. It does not conform to the ancient style. The whole article is just plain talk and has no literary grace at all.  This is good, it saves the time of explaining to these rough people.

    Ma Tianbao stood up and looked at the generals in front of him, "Now we are left to fight alone, to eat the emperor's salary and repay the emperor's kindness. A true man must live upright and die with dignity. You all go back and arrange the camps.  Let¡¯s defend ourselves until dark, and then find a way to break out.¡±

    "As ordered." Several generals agreed and walked towards the door of the tent. The spirit of the past was no longer visible in them.

    "Wait a minute," Ma Tianbao shouted, looking at them solemnly, "remember my words, anyone who dares to surrender will be killed without mercy!"

    After Lin Haifeng dictated the surrender letter, he left the temporary tent.  He sat silently on a broken tree, staring at the vast ruins in a daze.  This is the company camp of Jiangnan Camp in Xiaolingwei. There is no gunpowder smoke, no sound of fighting, only the bodies of tens of thousands of people lying down under the bloody setting sun.  It might be more appropriate to describe this place as a huge cemetery.  More than one-third of the people in the teaching brigade alone were killed. When he thought of this, his heart was bleeding.

    "Bago, why did you ask me to clean up the battlefield?" With a burst of horse neighing, Hong Xuanjiao came over shouting and yelling with a horse whip, "Brother Zeng took advantage of Hushu again."

    "Oh, Hong Shuai, why are you dissatisfied? There is another person here who is more anxious than you." Hearing the sound, Liu Xianghe pointed at Chen Yucheng behind him, covering his mouth and laughing.

    "How am I the same as him?" Hong Xuanjiao curled her lips, "Brigade Commander Chen was awarded the rank of general out of a million soldiers. He has enough glory, but I am not addicted to killing yet."

    Lin Haifeng looked at Hong Xuanjiao, "Cleaning up the battlefield is more important. Let me tell you, you must check carefully and don't miss an injured brother who may still be alive. In addition, when you bury the brothers, you must clean them up and change them.  Put on new clothes, and don¡¯t forget to bring some food for the brothers. Alas, many brothers may not have time to eat a bite all day!¡±

    "Yes, Your Highness!" Hong Xuanjiao agreed. Just as he was about to leave with his guards, he saw Qin Rigang riding his horse up like a gust of wind.

    "Your Highness, both the left and right battalions of the stubborn Ma Tianbao opened their gates and surrendered. Only this bastard led the Biao camp and there has been no movement yet." Qin Rigang cupped his fists and saluted King An, and then began to use leniency.  The sleeves of the robe are fanning the wind.

    "It's really strange. Those Qing demons in the flag camp are very knowledgeable, but why are they the only ones who are Han and cling to the lap of Xianfeng demon head?" Hong Xuan snorted.

    Lin Haifeng sighed, "In a sense, this is also the true nature of soldiers. The best way to deal with such people is to send them to the grave."

    "I'll take care of them." Chen Yucheng jumped up and drew the saber from his side.

    "No need," Lin Haifeng waved his hand and looked at Qin Rigang, who was already gearing up, "it's better for the Marquis of Qin to go. Tell them that the Heavenly Army always does what it says, and never says good things twice. Use the most original words  Brutal warning to everyone, it¡¯s too late to regret!¡±

    ¡°Kill, kill without leaving any one alive!¡± Qin Rigang jumped back on the horse with a swish, leaving a string of hearty smiles behind him.

    "You are so happy to kill people?" Lin Haifeng looked at Qin Rigang's back, then turned back to look at Hong Xuanjiao, Chen Yucheng and others, and suddenly he laughed.  He stood up and said, "Actually, everything has its good and bad aspects. Take that Ma Tianbao for example. From the perspective of a soldier's loyalty, he may be worthy of the honor of a soldier. However, that is just a kind of  Foolish loyalty. He is working for a corrupt Xianfeng dynasty that does not represent the will of the majority of the people. Who is he defending? Who is he dying for? To put it bluntly, he is fighting for Xianfeng alone. From this point of view, he  His death is worthless, let alone glorious. Do you know what this is called?"

    Hong Xuanjiao and the others looked at each other in confusion.

    Lin Haifeng burst out laughing, "I'll teach you a new word."??This is called dialectics.  "Seeing that several people were still confused, he coughed, "To put it simply, when looking at anything, don't just look at its surface appearance, but also consider its inner content.  Our Chinese soldiers can learn from his loyalty. Surrender is a shame for a soldier.  However, one cannot learn from his foolishness.  What we defend is China, and China is not me, not you, not him, not anyone.  The Celestial Dynasty is a dynasty that represents the interests of the broad masses of the people.  There are fewer teaching travelers, but after the baptism of war, they have also been sublimated.  We still have the First Red Army, and in the future there will be the Second Red Army and the Third Red Army. Sooner or later, the Heavenly Army will all become the Red Army" He walked mindlessly, mumbling incessantly.  It seems to be for myself and others.

    The city of Tianjing was boiling at night. The Jiangnan camp that had been eyeing Tianjing for a long time was gone. Tianjing would be far away from war forever. Nothing could make ordinary people happier than this.  Various lanterns were hung at the door of every house, and the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the city. People poured into the streets to celebrate this great victory of the Celestial Empire in their own heartfelt ways.

    The Heavenly King¡¯s Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and hundreds of tables of royal banquets were once again held in the Imperial Garden.  Different from the past, except for a few senior officials from Tianjing, those who came to the banquet today were all generals at all levels who participated in the battle to crush the Jiangnan camp.  What is particularly special is that in order to allow the generals who captured Hushu, Molingguan, and Danyang to catch up with the feast, King Hong Xiuquan specifically ordered the banquet to be postponed until midnight.  Before everyone enters the Royal Garden, they will hear the salute officer repeating a sentence loudly, "The king has a decree, brothers celebrate together, all etiquette is temporarily waived!"

    When Lin Fengxiang led the generals of the First Red Army into the imperial garden, covered in dust and sweat, Hong Xiuquan hurriedly stood up from his seat and unexpectedly walked quickly to Lin Fengxiang.  He pulled out a sweat towel from the sleeves of his robe and chuckled, "Generals, you have worked hard, I will personally wipe the Zhengchen for you brothers." As he said that, he raised his hand as if he really wanted to help Lin Fengxiang wipe the dust on his face.  Sweat.

    Lin Fengxiang hurriedly stepped back and bowed deeply, "King of Heaven, you have to kill the humble minister!"

    Hong Xiuquan laughed and looked at Yang Xiuqing and others on the side, "I told you in advance, there is no distinction between the king and the ministers today, we are all brothers. However, since General Lin didn't ask me to wipe it, I won't force it.  It¡¯s better to ask the female officials to fetch some water and wash them all first, so that the wine will taste better.¡±

    Yang Xiuqing chuckled, "Brother Tianwang is still careful, but he is better than us."

    Hong Xiuquan stroked his beard and watched with satisfaction as Lin Fengxiang and others packed up and sat down in their seats. Then he picked up a glass of wine and cleared his throat, "Brothers and sisters, it's been a long time since I've been so close to you.  Today is a very happy day. Thanks to the blessing of Heavenly Father and the wisdom of brothers An and Ning, the Heavenly Army has conquered the Jiangnan camp in one fell swoop, relieving the long-standing danger in Tianjing. It is a great blessing for the Celestial Empire and also for the hundreds of thousands of people in Tianjing.  It¡¯s a great honor for you. Come, let¡¯s pay our respects to brothers An Wang and Ning Wang for the first glass of wine.¡±
