The unexpected joy of getting Xinhui City made all the generals under Chen Qice's command have a good impression of the Taiping Army, and the additional supplies that Wu Yuan mentioned before naturally never mentioned again.
Not only that, Chen Qice also ordered the generals to do their best to allocate some of the captured in their hands to the Taiping army to develop in Xiangshan, although the number was not large, but Zhou Shixiang still greatly acknowledged his feelings and personally thanked the old general.
After a day's counting, the approximate number of captures of the Taiping army in this battle was counted by Song Xianggong.
As Zhou Shixiang expected in advance, although the Qing army was also in danger of running out of food, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and more than 200 stones of grain were still found from the Qing army camps everywhere, most of which were in the camp of the Han army banner.
If it weren't for the Qing army's setting fires everywhere when they withdrew, I'm afraid they would have been able to grab more food.
The Taiping army found more than 200 stones of grain, which is converted into nearly 20,000 catties of grain and grass, although the sailor is only responsible for the cleaning of the materials of the green camp station, but it should also be harvested, so that the remaining grain and grass of the Qing army is still about 30,000 catties.
This grain is saved, and even if some is distributed to the young and strong people, it will be enough for them to last two or three days.
But even so, the Qing army still allowed the people to be sent by the people to starve to death, this situation is just like the Xinhui City that day, after Li Dingguo's army broke the siege, the Manchu Qing appointed Liangguang Governor Li Shutai entered the city and found that the remaining grain and grass in the city was enough for the defenders to support more than a month, but so much food did not prevent the Qing army from feeding a large number of residents in the city, resulting in a sensational food city tragedy In the troubled world, human life is like a mustard, this is not false at all, imagine if Shang Kexi could give a bowl of gruel to those people who were about to starve to death, Zhou Shixiang would not see corpses everywhere.
Linked to the brutality of the Qing army, Zhou Shixiang could imagine what the defeated soldiers who had no food would do to the villages and towns along the way on the way back to Guangzhou.
He had the heart to stop it but was powerless to return to the sky, so he could only sigh secretly, hoping that the Taiping army would grow stronger as soon as possible, and the Qing army could be completely driven out of Guangdong and Guannei.
In addition to food, the Qing army discarded more than 10,000 weapons, Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to lead people to sort out the intact weapons that could be used by 5,000 people, and the rest were given to the sailors.
However, the musket and the captured artillery were not given to the sailors, and he kept them to great use.
Not to mention, there are more than 60 artillery pieces, plus those in Xinhui City, the Taiping Army has more than 100 artillery pieces at once, so many artillery pieces can be said to be Shang Ke is happy to see and afraid, in the future, the gunners will be equipped in place, and the use of concentrated artillery will definitely shock any Qing army in Guangdong.
When the Han army retreated with the blue flag, they didn't have time to blow up the medicine storehouse, and Tie Yi led people to snatch thousands of catties of medicine from it and carefully transported it into the city as a treasure.
The amount of mules, horses and livestock seized was also very considerable, and the Qing army was reluctant to give food to the people, but was willing to take a small amount of grain to feed these livestock.
When they fled, they took away a lot of gold and silver, but few people dragged their livestock away, and as a result, they all cheapened the Taiping army and the sailors.
The Taiping army gained more than 300 mules and horses, and more than 30 Mongolian war horses that had lost their owners.
The sailors didn't get a few horses, but there were more horses and mules than the Taiping army.
The rest of the materials are still being cleaned up, whether it is the Taiping army or the sailors, they are all cleaning up the battlefield in accordance with the principle of not wasting it.
Because the Taiping army had a public treasury system, gold and silver jewelry was not the most desired thing for soldiers, but it was the premise for Zhou Shixiang to gain a foothold in Xiangshan, and he asked Zhao Sihai to put all the gold and silver seized into the public treasury, and immediately after arriving in Xiangshan, he would take these hard currencies to Macao to purchase ordnance.
Counting this harvest, the Taiping army's gold collection has more than 3,000 taels, and there are as many as 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver, and other copper coins cannot be counted, and only about seven or eight hundred catties can be obtained.
Like the gold and silver seized by the Qing army in the past, many of the gold and silver that Zhou Shixiang saw were stained with blood. 。
After the war, it was very calm outside Xinhui City, only the still burning military tent and the smell of blood and corpses everywhere told the world that there had just been a big war here, this was just a slaughterhouse, and countless lives had just been lost here.
Because there were too many corpses, neither the Taiping army nor the sailors could burn the corpses on a large scale, otherwise the smell of the corpses would be enough to make it difficult for people to stay in Xinhui City for half a moment.
After Zhou Shixiang and Chen Qice discussed, both sides sent people to dispose of the body.
Zhou Shixiang had the bodies of the Taiping soldiers killed in battle gathered in a trench dug by the Qing army and buried them on the spot.
The corpses of the Qing soldiers were piled up in a haphazard manner, stripped of their clothes, and after searching for all the things they could use, they were dragged to the river and discarded, allowing the corpses to flow down the river, and eventually became food for the fish and shrimp in the Tan River.
There are about 4,000 people who are so young and strong that they have survived, and for these poor people who are hungry and malnourished and walk swayingly, Zhou Shixiang wanted to include them in the Taiping Army as a supplement to the soldiers and productive labor in the future, but considering whether Chen Qice also had this mind, he did not intercept these people without authorization, but asked Hu Deyu, who handled the affairs for Chen Qice, for his opinion.
Sure enough, the sailor had already hit the idea of these people's young and strong, and after hearing Zhou Shixiang say that he also wanted these people, Hu Deyu immediately showed a look of embarrassment, and he said that the sailor was about to take over Xinhui, and he needed to replenish the soldiers in case the Qing army attacked again, so these people's young men were the best supplement to the soldiers of the sailor, after all, these people were in the Qing army camp for a few months, and they had a certain organization, which was much stronger than ordinary people.
Moreover, if the sailor does not accept them, this will be to let them go, and most of these people will not be able to return to their hometown alive.
Hu Deyu's reasons are very good, but Zhou Shixiang can't stop there, after several negotiations, Zhou Shixiang and Hu Deyu finally agreed that these people are young and strong, and the two families are half each.
The affairs of the people are easy to deal with, but they are just the matter of food, and the surrendered Qing army is not so easy to deal with.
The Taiping army captured more than 1,000 Qing soldiers, and the sailors captured even more, nearly 3,000 people.
Such a large number of captives are not something that the Taiping army and sailors can eat.
Hu Deyu's opinion is very clear, these Qing troops have Han army banner soldiers, there are green battalion soldiers, but all of them are executioners whose hands are stained with the blood of the Ming people.
This opinion made Zhou Shixiang very frightened. 。
