Zhou Peigong knew that Wuerte had eaten people, and what Doni and Luo Keduo had done on the way back to Baoning from Guiyang through the uninhabited area of Sichuan with more than 20,000 Manchurian soldiers had long been known to the world.
However, Zhou Peigong did not feel disgusted with Wuert because of this, because he understood that when people reach a desperate situation, they can eat anything, and they must eat everything.
In this troubled era, only those who survive are qualified to pass on the legacy and decide how to write the history books, whether it is the Ming and Qing dynasties, whether it is the Manchu or Han dynasties.
What made Zhou Peigong feel fortunate was that the Taiping Army had never eaten anyone, and this army of soldiers and horses that fought all the way from Lingnan to Nanjing City had the lowest bottom line of human conscience.
Although the parents, wives and children of the commander of this army were eaten as a meal on a plate, and although there were a large number of Qing generals and soldiers in this army who had eaten people, no matter how evil this army was, it had never done anything to take people as military rations.
The only one who took the initiative to eat human flesh after joining the Taiping Army was only two, one was Li Fengming and the other was Wang Fuchen.
In Zhaoqing that day, the two of them used the head of Prince Jidu of Qingjian as a snack.
However, when the feats of these two are mentioned in the army, they will always consciously associate them with Grandpa Yue's sentence "Ambition is hungry for Hulu meat, and laughs and thirsts for Hun blood".
Zhou Peigong was not the kind of conservative Confucian, so he also admired the feats of Li Fengming and Wang Fuchen, and he also did not exclude a group of Manchu soldiers such as Wuerte, who had slaughtered the green camp and the common people in Sichuan.
When he was reading history in his early years, Zhou Peigong once sighed that everyone in the world praised Cao Mengde, and who would avenge the 200,000 people in Xuzhou who were killed by Cao Mengde as military rations.
The winner is king, even if the winner is a beast, he is also very wise; The loser will be the finger of thousands of people, scolded by thousands of people, even if the loser is extremely benevolent and righteous, he will not be able to avoid the stigma of future generations.
History is so realistic.
Wuerte expressed his apologies to Zhou Peigong, meaning that his subordinates were too anxious.
In this regard, Zhou Peigong laughed at himself, and Wuerte did not say a word about the Qing army in Xuzhou.
As he was talking, someone shouted: "They're coming, they're coming" Ult's body shuddered, and he leaned forward, looking to the north.
In sight, there are military flags fluttering in the wind.
Behind the flag, there is a long procession.
"Here Comes Our People" Qianhu Shao Erdai flicked the horsewhip excitedly, and the mount under his crotch was in pain, and he jumped out of his four hooves and galloped forward with a hiss.
"Driving" Gong Jian Se also slammed the horsewhip, and the mount galloped forward like an arrow from the string.
Yue Deji's urge to urinate is long gone, he only hates that he is not riding a flying horse, and he can run to Eniang's side in the blink of an eye.
"Driving" "Driving" War horses galloped out of the ranks, and hundreds of soldiers fought one after another to the north.
The faces are all different, but the surprise on the faces is like a mold carved out.
"Woodt, let's go."
Zhou Peigong smiled and whipped his horsewhip, his riding skills were not as good as those of these Manchurian soldiers, so he could only run slowly.
Although Wuerte missed his relatives, he also slowed down his horse and rode with Zhou Peigong.
The Qing army marching towards Luoma Lake saw the cavalry in front of them roaring towards them, and after a commotion, they quickly quieted down and continued to maintain their speed forward.
The Qing army was followed by more than 8,000 families of Manchu soldiers who went south from Beijing, and the journey of thousands of miles made them all hard, and everyone's faces were tired, but the good news from the front made most people feel refreshed, as if there was another insurmountable mountain in front of them, and they would grit their teeth and climb it with difficulty.
"E-niang, is Amma waiting for us there?"
"Ah Mou, will we meet Ah Mu Qi soon?"
"Tail Lun, your love root is right in front." “” The procession of nearly 10,000 people walked on a road that was not wide, stretching for dozens of miles.
The good news that relatives are in front of us is like a wave, passing backwards in waves.
In the crowd, the Manchurian family members whispered to each other, and their faces couldn't hide their excitement.
On both sides of the team, the Qing soldiers who escorted them all the way also had different expressions, the Han soldiers had gloomy faces, but the green flag soldiers were relieved.
In order not to leak the matter, Ao Bai sent these white flag families to Xuzhou in six batches, and the rest of the flags were inquired about, and in the name of setting up a city in Xuzhou, these family members were stationed in Xuzhou Manzhou.
Not many people know the specific casualties of the Battle of Yangzhou, and Shunzhi is even more strictly forbidden to disclose them to its subordinates, so how many Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers were killed in Yangzhou, even some princes and ministers are also confused.
After the last group of family members arrived in Xuzhou from the canal, Ao Bai sent a secret letter to Belle Tuntai, asking him to send the Han army and the Green Flag soldiers to be responsible for transferring these family members to the south, and must not use Manchu and Mongolian soldiers, so as not to leak out.
After Tuntai received Aobai's secret letter, he also knew that if this matter was spread out, the blow to the heart of the Manchurian army would be great, if the trouble was known to the whole dynasty, Aobai was unlucky, and he Tuntai would definitely be implicated, so Tuntai did not dare to let these families live in Xuzhou City, but were placed outside the city in batches.
Because it had been agreed in advance, after the contact between the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was not tense, but very calm.
Zhou Peigong and Wuerte met with Zu Zeqing, the leader of the Han army, who came to hand over on the order of Belle Tuntai.
Compared with Zhou Peigong's relaxed face and the joy of Wuerte and others, Zu Zeqing had a gloomy face, and he didn't want to say a few more words.
Zu Zeqing is like this, not because Zhou Peigong thought he was lost, but because he was depressed.
The reason for his depression was not because of these Manchurian dependents he brought, but because of his identity.
In addition to the identity of the Han Army's Red Banner Leader, Zu Ze also has two identities, one is the son of Zu Dashou, and the other is Wu Sangui's cousin.
The former brought benefits to Zu Zeqing, and it was precisely because he was the son of Zu Dashou that he was able to enter the Han military banner with his elder brothers and become a high-ranking official in the Qing court.
The latter has also brought countless benefits to Zu Zeqing, but now it has cast a shadow on his future and even his life.

No one believes that the cousin betrayed the Qing Dynasty, and the cousin would be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
After the news of Wu Sangui's anti-Qing Dynasty came, Zu Zeqing has been watched, even during the Yangzhou War, he tried his best to prove himself, but the fact is that after retreating to Xuzhou with Tuntai, not only the Manchurians suspected him, but even his colleagues in the Han army were also very wary of Zu Zeqing.
This time, Tuntai handed over the transfer of the Manchurian family to Zu Zeqing, and on the surface, he seemed to trust him Zu Zeqing, but Zu Zeqing knew that if this matter was poked out, he was likely to be the first unlucky person to be pushed out as a substitute for the dead ghost.
Author's note: Historically, Zu Zeqing rebelled against the Qing Dynasty twice, and after the defeat, he and his son were sentenced to car splitting by Kangxi. oshow7 t1706231537:
