Chapter 24： Persuade

The next day, more than 900 uninjured prisoners were surrendered to nearly 800, and more than one hundred remained unwilling to serve as soldiers.

Wu Changqing didn't know if they were telling the truth or if they wanted to return to Suzhou after being let go, so he chose to detain these more than one hundred people temporarily.

After taking control of Suzhou in the future, they can be let go.

Except for the soldiers, most of the corps and chiefs also chose to surrender. These low-level officers, in fact, are almost the same as soldiers.

It's different when it comes to Baihu. The court has their files, and they have more things to consider. For example, will the family be beheaded by the Qing court after the surrender, how long the rebel Wu Changqing can last, and will the surrender now be wiped out by the Qing court's army.

Of the six hundred households, only two expressed their willingness to be loyal.

As for Cao Hu, when asked whether he was willing to surrender, he chose to remain silent.

He was afraid that he would be killed if he refused, and that he would be settled by the Qing Ting Qiuhou after surrendering.

Wu Changqing didn't have time to spend with him, so he shut up in silence.

Those soldiers who had surrendered had 200 points to Liu Han three, two hundred to Li Shaobin, two hundred to Wang Dayong, and the rest to Wu Yijun.

So far, Wu Changqing can command more than 3,500 troops. Of course, only the 1,000 flintlock troops under his direct command are elite.

The troops of Liu Hansan and others are slightly worse, and the troops of Wu Yi are the worst. His army has not received any formal military training, and only fights with passion and personal bravery.

There are so many cards in his hand, no matter how bad Guo Ziming is, he has to carry it, at least he can strengthen his momentum.

The army went straight to Suzhou, and Wu Shengzhao of Suzhou had already got the news before they were halfway there.

Yesterday, Cao Hu suffered a terrible defeat. Some soldiers escaped and returned to Suzhou to report.

Hearing that Cao Hu was defeated and almost the entire army was wiped out, Wu Shengzhao almost sprayed out old blood.

That's more than 1,500 people, half of his strength, so it's gone, it's gone. His most regrettable Cao Hu didn't escape, otherwise he could chop that guy out of his anger.

The original situation was not good. Now that half of the main force was lost, Wu Shengzhao was not confident enough to hold Suzhou. He quickly sent someone to send an urgent letter to Changzhou, requesting Liu Liangzuo to send troops to rescue him.

At the same time, he also wrote to Hong Chengchou, who was coordinating the overall situation of Jiangnan in Nanjing, hoping that he would pay attention to the rebel army in Jiading.

If this powerful rebel army is not eliminated as soon as possible, it will be troublesome when they grow up.

He has done everything that should be done, and the next step is to wait for reinforcements.

He knew that Wu Changqing would come to attack Suzhou soon, but he didn't expect it would be so soon.

"Let people go up to the city wall immediately, Mr. Dai, how many did Xiangyong who helped defend the city recruit?"

After Wu Shengzhao gave the order, he asked about his counselor Dai Zhijun (jun).

"With only two hundred people, the people learned that the rebels from Jiading were coming to attack Suzhou, and they were unwilling to help defend the city."

Dai Zhijun lied, in fact, he deliberately didn't recruit more courage.

The reason is also very simple, he is a man with a big heart.

Historically, he would persuade Wu Shengzhao to oppose the Qing Dynasty in the next year. He followed Wu Shengzhao to surrender to the Qing, but also because of helplessness. He is only a scholar and cannot control the overall situation.

But now, he secretly provided help to the rebels.

"This group of untouchables, how can this be good?" Wu Shengzhao was angry and anxious.

"General, I think all the people are still interested in Daming, and the spirit of Daming can't be stopped. We might as well follow the general trend and take the opportunity to make great contributions to Daming anyway."

Dai Zhijun encouraged.

Wu Shengzhao shook his head when he heard the words, "Da Ming can't beat the Man Qing. You haven't seen those Eight Banners soldiers who are so powerful. Look at Da Ming's side. Is there one who can fight?"

Wu Shengzhao is neither loyal to the Qing Dynasty nor to the Ming Dynasty. He is an egoist, and he will do whatever is good for him.

Therefore, even if Dai Zhijun urged him, he was not angry at all.

However, he is not stupid, he has his own judgment.

Judging from the past record, Daming is really hopeless.

"Why don't the general take a gamble? It is precisely because Daming is in distress now, if the general is bound to be reused anyway. If he continues to serve for the Qing, losing Suzhou is a big culpability, and it is only his duty to hold on to his death. In the Qing court, it was not easy for a general to want to become prosperous."

Dai Zhijun continued to fudge, of course, not all of it. Except for the sentence that Daming's aura is not exhausted, everything else is the truth.

Now, no matter who stands up to help Daming, he can get a great reward, and it is possible to become a king or a king. And for the Qing court, there is no major contribution, so don't count on the glory and wealth.

Of course Wu Shengzhao also knew this principle, but when he thought of the power of the Qing court, he shook his head and said: "Let's guard first, guard if you can, and then drop if you can't hold it."

With his little calculation, Dai Zhijun was speechless even after hearing it. Is surrendering now the same as surrendering if he can't hold it?

At noon, Wu Changqing's army had arrived in Suzhou.

When Wu Shengzhao saw the number of the other party, he felt a little stunned. The formation of more than 3,000 people was still quite scary.

"The city is General Wu Shengzhao?"

Wu Changqing drove forward immediately.

He wanted to surrender Wu Shengzhao. It would be best to be able to take down Suzhou without a bloodbath. Everyone is a Han Chinese, and it's boring to fight back and forth.

In his impression, Wu Shengzhao had tried to counter the Qing, which showed that he had no loyalty to the Qing, and there should be hope for surrendering.

"You are Wu Changqing and Wu Risheng?"

Wu Shengzhao asked back.

"It is right here, General Wu, I hope you can judge the situation, cast aside the dark, and stop doing things that go against your ancestors. Since the beginning of the incident, my army has complied with the will of God and is invincible. You will definitely not be able to stop it. Yu Qi is dying and struggling, why not In time, anyway, guilt and meritorious service?"

Wu Shengzhao on the city wall turned black when he heard these words. He was taught by a boy who was a big man and couldn't bear it.

"Children are rampant, conform to God's will, how long do you think you can jump?"

Wu Shengzhao laughed.

"I used to meet a person who said that I could not jump for long, and now he is dead. This person is called Xue Wu, you probably have heard of it."

Wu Changqing laughed too, and even played a joke.

"Stop talking nonsense, shoot me."

Regarding the lipstick, Wu Shengzhao is not Wu Changqing's opponent. If he continues to fight, he can only be humiliated by Wu Changqing, so he simply lets people shoot arrows to express his attitude.

Seeing a few arrows flying, Wu Changqing also hurried back.

He surrendered this time and declared defeat.

However, Wu Changqing didn't care too much, anyway, he didn't expect too much to make the enemy surrender with such a trick.

If you want the other party to surrender, the key is to be strong. If I had already gone to Beijing, I am afraid that there would be a large number of civilians and generals vying to surrender at that time without having to stop talking.

This is the so-called general trend, and everyone wants to follow the general trend and get rich and rich.

"Prepare to attack the city."

Wu Changqing ordered that at this stage, everything has to be resolved by force.
