"Substitutions" After listening to what Zhou Shixiang said, everyone was confused: this person can still be changed Zhou Shixiang explained that the casualties of the Taiping Battalion in this battle were too large, and the number of captured Green Battalion soldiers was too large, if all the people were brought back, then the food of the Taiping Battalion would be tight, not to mention that so many people died at once, how could the relatives of those who died accept these Green Battalion soldiers who killed their relatives.
When the time comes, how to deal with it Therefore, if he brought the trouble back, it would be better to make a deal with the Qing army in Deqing in exchange for the manpower that the Taiping camp urgently needed.
After all, the main purpose of war, in addition to eliminating potential dangers, is to obtain the materials that oneside urgently needs.
Without the replenishment of soldiers, another battle like this can be declared the collapse of the Taiping camp.
Zhou Shixiang had no intention of branding these green battalion soldiers, because their number was too many, and the Taiping battalion absorbed them, and the situation was that the guest was stronger than the master So his plan is to exchange these prisoners and Deqing City for prisoners in prison, the rebels' favorite manpower has always been the prisoners in the cell, death row prisoners are better, these people are the natural opponents of the government, and it is a hundred times stronger to admit them than to accept these green battalion soldiers, at least there is no need to worry about the imbalance of power in the army in the future, and the factional division is serious.
Of course, there is another reason for not absorbing these captives, that is, most of these people are native to Deqing, no more than Shao Jiugong, they are soldiers and horses from other provinces, and it is difficult for them to aim their knives at Deqing City in the future, after all, there are their relatives inside.
In order to let everyone support his decision, Zhou Shixiang inevitably and euphemistically said that the Taiping Camp wanted to be a big bandit, and how could he be a big bandit, and everyone nodded frequently.
"One Tartar for one prisoner, Brother Zhou, this deal is not cost-effective, we have lost a lot."
The bald man has no opinion on the substitution, but he thinks that it is not cost-effective to simply exchange the green battalion soldiers for prisoners.
Ge Wu was also thinking about this question just now, but he didn't understand what was wrong for a while, and after hearing the bald man's words, he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, this method is not cost-effective, those armored soldiers are not as good as ordinary green battalion soldiers, just one exchange him for ten prisoners, we are all very disappointed." ” Zhou Shixiang signaled that they didn't need to be in a hurry, and said: "Then one more for him, there are really not enough prisoners to exchange with us, then take grain and silver in exchange, we are sellers, there is no reason for sellers to suffer losses in this world." ” "If you want to get it, you can't just ask for prisoners, some prisoners don't use it, you have to let them take out silver and food, real money and silver, if you have money and food, you're afraid that you won't be able to recruit soldiers" Ge Liu, who was beaten by Ge Wu, didn't know when he came over, and he was very active in coming up with ideas.
When everyone said about it, Peng Dazhu poured a basin of cold water over, and he said: "The method is good, but what if Deqing Nazhi County refuses to change with us?"
That's right, if people don't change, aren't we working in vain?
Everyone was stunned, but Zhou Shixiang waved his hand confidently and said to them: "It's okay, the county refuses to change, so we will find someone who is willing to change." ” "Who?"
everyone asked.
Zhou Shixiang raised his hand at the two soldiers and instructed them: "Bring that green battalion Qianzong over." ” "How much money do you think your life is worth?"
Hearing this question, Tang Sanshui couldn't help but "plop" and knelt on the ground again, howling with a handful of snot and tears: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life" He thought that Zhou Shixiang was going to kill him.
"I didn't say I was going to kill you, get up and speak."
After Zhou Shixiang drank again, Tang Sanshui stood up in horror, not knowing what the thief Xiucai in front of him had in mind.
Zhou Shixiang ignored his confused gaze and said directly: "I'm going to let you go, but I can't let you go for no reason, so you have to redeem your life." ” "Let Me Redeem My Life" Tang Sanshui became as excited as if he had heard the sound of heaven, and shouted: "I'm out, I'm out" "Then how much silver do you say you are worth" Zhou Shixiang looked at Tang Sanshui expressionlessly, the more people who were afraid of death, the more willing they were to cooperate, and the more greedy they were for money.
"This" Tang Sanshui was embarrassed, saying less, it seemed that his thousand was too worthless, and if he said too much, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it out, and it would really hurt to take it out. secretly scolded the thief Xiucai in his heart, and he was really a thief, how can there be a reason in this world that the kidnapper does not offer a price but asks for meat tickets to bid by himself.
After lowering his head and thinking for a long time, Fang raised his hand and shook his palm twice, carefully gritted his teeth and spit out a number, and said, "One hundred taels" "One Hundred Taels" Zhou Shixiang sneered, glanced at Shao Jiugong, and asked him: "Shao Qianfeng, you have worked in the Qing army, you tell Tang Qianzong that he can buy this Qianzong with one hundred taels of silver."
Shao Jiugong smiled: "If one hundred taels could buy a thousand generals, the lowly position would have been bought and done a long time ago." ” Zhou Shixiang nodded when he heard this, turned to look at Tang Sanshui, and snorted: "You heard, you don't take yourself seriously, if you really think so, then I didn't say anything."
After speaking, he raised his hand: "Take people down." ” "Don't, don't, don't" Tang Sanshui saw that Zhou Shixiang really wanted someone to take him down, for fear that the other party would turn his face and kill people, so he was so anxious that he clenched his fists and made a straight compilation: "Good man, you make a price, the small one must bear it, and the small one must bear it."
"You want me to open it" Zhou Shixiang shook his head, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he spit out three words, "Two thousand taels." ” "Two thousand taels" Tang Sanshui was shocked, he was really frightened by this amount, and shook his head: "It's too much, it's too much, the little one doesn't have so much silver in hand."
Zhou Shixiang glanced at him meaningfully, and said lightly: "I know you don't have it, but you don't, others do." ” "Others have" Tang Sanshui was a little confused, not knowing what Zhou Shixiang meant by this, but only inquired: "What does a good man mean by this?"
"Well, this one."
Zhou Shixiang didn't answer him, but skimmed the corners of his mouth towards Deqing City.
"One armoured soldier is exchanged for six prisoners, and those who are not armoured are exchanged for three.
Another armored soldier exchanged 200 catties of grain or fifty taels of silver, and the one who did not wear armor was halved, and there was no bargaining.
Zhou Shixiang made a final decision, he didn't want to bargain with Tang Sanshui anymore, if he cut it down again, it would be dark.
Seeing that Zhou Shixiang was already impatient, Tang Sanshui hurriedly collected his counteroffer, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "That little one" "Don't worry, the deal is done, a person's head will fold you ten taels of silver, how can you calculate it is more than two thousand taels, and then count your own two thousand taels, Mr.
Tang Qian, you have made a lot of money in this battle."
Zhou Shixiang didn't ridicule Tang Sanshui, but he still ridiculed in the other party's ears.
Fortunately, Tang Sanshui doesn't mind, as long as his life can be saved, and there is money to be earned, what if people ridicule him, a piece of meat is indispensable, and not a single hair can be dropped "The corpse of the garrison adult" Tang Sanshui finally didn't forget Zhang Dade.
"Zhang Dade's body can be brought back by you."
Zhou Shixiang paused, and said very generously: "You can take back all the corpses of the green battalion soldiers, and our army will not cut off the heads." ” "Thank you, General" Tang Sanshui hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, not to mention anything else, he could bring back the corpse of the garrison adult, which was in the eyes of others Tang Sanshui's loyal ability, and the chief soldier could also make a good noise.
Seeing that Tang Sanshui was a little carried away, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but remind him: "But how to make that Lord Lu take out the money depends on your Tang Qianzong's ability, if people refuse to come out, then this deal will be yellow, and everything we say will not be counted." ” Hearing this, Tang Sanshui patted his chest and said with a big grin: "This general, please rest assured, Lu Gongming is a sour Confucian, and he is very timid and afraid of things, as long as I go to scare him, I will honestly take the silver out."
Besides, there are still my subordinates in the city, Lu Gongming really dares to blacken his heart, and my brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps."
Zhou Shixiang smiled slightly: "I hope so."
Signaling that Tang Sanshui could set off, but seeing Tang Sanshui hesitate, he finally had the courage to ask: "I don't know if the general can hand over the bodies of the dead of your army to me."
"What do you want a corpse for?"
This time it was Zhou Shixiang's turn to be puzzled, even if he understood what Tang Sanshui was doing, he wanted to turn defeat into victory, and he wanted to get rich and be promoted at the same time "Nope" Zhou Shixiang's face was extremely gloomy, and Tang Sanshui was so frightened that he hurriedly apologized: "The little one is confused, the little one is confused, the general is not strange" "That's it."
Zhou Shixiang's face softened slightly, and he arched his hand: "Then I will congratulate Mr.
Qian on his success."
"Inheriting the general's auspicious words, we must live up to our mission" Tang Sanshui wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately someone led his mount over, and picked out two of Tang Sanshui's cronies from the captives, and then Shao Jiugong led people to send him back to Deqing. oshow7 t1706231537:
