Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 591 He Tengjiao Killed Fu Shangrui Alive
The chaos outside Wuchang didn't settle down until dark.

Although the main force of the Qing army had already withdrawn, rivers of blood still flowed under Wuchang City. The Ming army who was besieged in Wuchang rushed out of the city.

The Ming army in Hubei, most of them are the remnants of the Donglu Shun army, as well as the Zuo army and the former Ming army. When fighting, they are relatively sturdy, but they are also difficult to control. They retain a bandit spirit. The military discipline is not great.

They were trapped for many days. Under the siege of the Qing army, they suffered heavy casualties, and their hearts were full of resentment.

When it was dark, the battlefield gradually settled down.

At this time, He Tengjiao was surrounded by everyone, standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, floating everywhere on the river, and the wreckage of the board made He Tengjiao's face very ugly.

He has already learned that the Jiangxi Ming army not only defeated the Qing army that entered Jiangxi, but also wiped out almost [-] Qing soldiers. Even Baylor and Man Dahai, who were in charge of the army, died at the hands of the Ming army. It can be described as a great victory.

But on the Huguang battlefield, he didn't perform very well, and even killed his eldest son He Wenrui, which made him feel a little unhappy.

In this battle, he lost more than 2 people, but he did not receive much goods. In addition to capturing tens of thousands of civilians, most of the most valuable nearly 300 ships were burned, and the Ming army only snatched more than [-] ships.

At this time, Ma Jinzhong and others came from a distance, their armor was stained with blood, and they reported loudly from a long distance: "Master, all the prisoners have been locked up, and a certain forward has boarded the ship, waiting for the order of the supervisor." .”

He Tengjiao heard this, looked to the north bank, and immediately said: "Very well, the left army of Shence, the right army of Shence, immediately cross the river and hunt down the Qing army overnight!"

"Here!" Ma Jinzhong and Wang Jincai clasped their fists in response, turned around and left.

At this time, He Tengjiao asked again: "Did Fu Shangrui catch it?"

Several generals around couldn't answer. Li Yuanyin thought for a while and said, "Fu Shangrui's nephew was caught. It is said that Fu Shangrui escaped by boat."

Chen Youlong listened, and laughed, "I guess I didn't make it. I chased to the shore and saw a Cangshan boat. Because of breaking down and wading, the boat was too heavy and capsized by the river. Fu Shangrui, that old man, Won't you drown?"

He Tengjiao heard this, and said angrily: "Drowning? How could he be so cheap! Chen Youlong, take someone to look for him. I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die!"

"Teacher calm down, I'll do it now, and I will definitely bring Fu Shangrui to the supervisor." Chen Youlong said seriously.

Just as he was about to leave, not far away, more than a dozen soldiers gathered together, and the surrounding soldiers also trotted towards them, making a lot of noise.

Chen Youlong frowned slightly, strode out and shouted: "Speak up and laugh, despise the prohibition agreement, are you going to offend the crime of lightly fighting the army?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent, and a thousand households immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "General, I just inspected the prison camp, but there were two people fighting on the ground in the camp. I went up to stop it, but I didn't expect to catch a Big fish."

Chen Youlong didn't laugh at him, but glared at him. The thousand households didn't dare to betray, and hurriedly continued: "The people who fought were Fu Shangrui and his nephew Li Zhiting. His subordinates took them down immediately. The brothers knew they had caught them." Fu Shangrui is beating and scolding him."

"Fu Shangrui?" Chen Youlong was taken aback, and quickly walked in the circle, and the soldiers retreated one after another to make way for him.

Chen Youlong took a closer look and saw a man tied up and surrounded by people. A hundred householders grabbed the man's braid with one hand and slapped him in the face with the other. The big-eared melon seeds were beaten one after another, making him unable to stand still. Mouth and nose bleeding.

This Fu Shangrui is also the honor of the governor, how could he have received such treatment, the few officers around him, you punched me, and they were also on the rise, who would dare to beat the governor in normal times.

At Fu Shangrui's level, if he was captured, he should be given some dignity, but the Wuchang defenders hated him so much that they couldn't bear the anger.

At this time, when everyone saw Chen Youlong approaching, they all stopped, and the thousand households brought Fu Shangrui in front of him like they were catching chickens.

Chen Youlong spit, sprayed it on his face, picked up his sleeve, wiped his face, wiped off the dirt and mud on his face, looked carefully, and was immediately happy, it was really Fu Shangrui.

"Okay! Take this thief, I'll hit you, and wait to be promoted to guerrilla!" Chen Youlong smiled and punched Qianhu's chest, then waved his hand and said loudly: "Go, take me over to see the supervisor!"

"Thank you, General!" Qian Hu smiled, greeted his subordinates quickly, and escorted Fu Shangrui to follow behind Chen Youlong.

At this time, Chen Youlong hurried forward, came to He Tengjiao's side, reported the matter, and then waved his hand and signaled: "Come here!"

Wang Yuncheng, Yang Wenyi and others immediately surrounded him to identify him, and it was undoubtedly Fu Shangrui.

Yang Wenyi immediately kicked Fu Shangrui on the lower abdomen, "Fuck you, you have killed so many of my brothers. Superintendent, let the general cut this thing that is not as good as a pig or a dog!"

No wonder everyone hated Fu Shangrui so much. The Ming army in Hubei originally operated a perfect line of defense in eastern Hubei, but because this thief colluded with the Qing army, Liu Chengyin gave up the line of defense, making the Ming army fall into a passive position from the very beginning.

During the offensive and defensive battle in Wuchang, because this thief betrayed the intelligence of the Ming army, causing heavy casualties to the Ming army, everyone naturally hated him to the bone.

After Yang Wenyi kicked, Wang Yuncheng thumped him again, but He Tengjiao didn't stop him, his status was not good enough to do it himself, the generals were venting their anger for him.

Wrapping Rui Lao's arms and old legs, how could he stand up to the beatings of these soldiers? He looked up and saw He Tengjiao, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. Go around me once for the sake of love."

"Bah!" Wang Yuncheng smeared a mouthful of phlegm on his body, "Do you still have the face to speak in front of the supervisor?"

When He Tengjiao saw that he was beaten terribly, his anger subsided a little, but when he heard him mention his past relationship, he immediately exploded again.

Now He Tengjiao has already blamed his eldest son's death on his head. If he hadn't surrendered, the Qing soldiers would not have arrived in Wuchang so quickly, Wuchang would not have been fought so hard, and He Wenrui would not have died.

"Love? Did the governor treat you badly? Why did you betray the enemy and surrender?" He Tengjiao had always trusted Fu Shangrui and regarded him as his right-hand man. Fu Shangrui's betrayal was also something he could not tolerate, he asked through gritted teeth.

After hearing this, Fu Shangrui stopped crying and begging for mercy. He was silent and half-thought and said: "I will not tolerate the matter of welcoming the army. At the least, I will be dismissed from my post and return to my hometown. At the worst, I will be in danger of taking the head of the city. That's why I was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty." , the supervisor must understand my difficulties! I have no other choice!"

"As a last resort? You disregard righteousness when you have no choice, and you harm my brother when you have no choice. I don't think you have no choice but to do it for your own selfishness!" Chen Youlong was furious when he heard his excuse. He Tengjiao said: "Master, this thief is not as good as a pig or a dog. He has no remorse at all. He is still making excuses for himself. The general thinks that he will be dragged out directly."

Yang Wenyi also clasped his fists and said: "Master, this thief has committed a heinous crime, and not killing him will not be enough to appease the resentment of the army and the people."

When Fu Shangrui heard this, there was a look of panic on his face. He knew that he would die, and He Tengjiao would probably not let him go. He was timid in his heart, fearing that death would be too painful, so he retreated and said, "Master, Dafa Mercy, give me a happy time."

Fu Shangrui kowtowed again and again, but he didn't expect that He Tengjiao hated him so much, even more ruthlessly than Chen Youlong, "Tomorrow, the battlement in front of the city, the governor will watch the punishment!"

The next day, Fu Shangrui was hanged in front of the city. During the execution, more than [-] soldiers and civilians gathered to watch, all clapping their hands and cheering.
