The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 600
Although it was the cold winter season, Liu Tianfang's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

He was just in a hurry.

He had seen five or six groups of captives just now, but he still couldn't find Zheng Hongkui after careful identification, which made his original full confidence begin to lose quickly.

He has followed Zheng Hongkui for many years, and he knows that the third master of the Zheng family is definitely not the kind of loyal and unparalleled master who dares to fight for his life, and he will never stick to the city, so it is absolutely certain to run away.

And he must have put on some makeup to cover it up, so he was very careful when identifying it, but he still found nothing.

Although many other generals were found among the captives, they were all small fish and small shrimps for the officers and soldiers, and Zheng Hongkui was the most important.

Seeing that the last group of captives had arrived, Liu Tianfang couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he couldn't find Zheng Hongkui again.

He already felt that the officer and general following behind looked at him with a bit of unkind eyes, and that right hand had been caressing the pistol handle at his waist intentionally or unintentionally for a long time.

Thinking of the guy whose head was shot off just now, Liu Tian felt more and more hopeless.

Zheng Hongkui's beard is very distinctive, the three strands of long beard is what he is most proud of when he thinks about it, he said that he imitated the martial saint Guan Erye, and he pays great attention to maintenance on weekdays.

Therefore, Liu Tianfang took these three long beards as his main target at first glance.

"Stand up, face forward, and raise your head." The Wehrmacht officer behind came to the last group of prisoners and shouted.

Many of those captives knew Liu Tianfang, and when they saw him being escorted by the officers and soldiers, they didn't know what was going on, so they all raised their heads and looked at him curiously and blankly.

Liu Tianfang didn't care about their eyes, and quickly glanced over, but didn't find the familiar three long beards, and his heart sank.

When he was in a hurry, he hurriedly said to the National Defense Army officer behind him: "General, please give me some more time, and I will definitely find it."

The officer snorted coldly, noncommittal.

Liu Tianfang wiped the cold sweat off his face, and searched and scanned again carefully.

After scanning for the second time, the familiar face was still not found.

At this time, Liu Tianfang's back was completely wet with sweat. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, forced himself to calm down, and muttered in his mouth: "I will definitely find it, I will definitely be able to! A dead fellow is not dead, Zheng San Grandpa, come out quickly, come out quickly."

At this time, his gaze suddenly noticed a figure that he had been ignoring all this time, and he walked over to stare at that person.

After seeing this, Liu Tianfang was overjoyed immediately, and couldn't help but quickly walked over and raised the man's chin to look carefully.

Looking at it this way, there is indeed a problem.

"Master Zheng, it really is you, it really is you, you made it easy for me to find!" Liu Tianfang had an excited expression on his face.

Zheng Hongkui, however, scolded Liu Tianfang in his heart, subconsciously saying, "It's not me! It's not me!"

After I finished speaking, I realized that something was wrong. I didn't have 300 taels of silver here.

When he first saw Liu Tianfang approaching, he had a premonition that this guy was probably here to identify him, so he covered it up in every possible way.

Seeing that he was about to pass the test by fooling around, he didn't expect to be recognized in the end.

"Third Master, don't deny it. I have been with you for so many years, don't think that I don't know you after you cut your beard, dirty your face and changed your clothes." Liu Tianfang grabbed Zheng Hongkui and said loudly.

Then he turned around and said to the National Defense Army officer behind him: "General, I found it, I found it, this is Zheng Sanye Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Zhilong's younger brother, and the chief general of Jianning City."

Zheng Hongkui was furious. He didn't expect to be able to pass the test by just looking at it, but he was picked out by this second-five boy. He was so angry that he lifted his foot and kicked Liu Tianfang like a gourd, cursing: "Liu Tianfang! You bastard, I treat you as my confidant, but you betray me, your fucking conscience is eaten by dogs!"

Liu Tian was relieved, and he didn't dare to speak back, and his expression was embarrassing.

Two National Defense Force soldiers came over and knocked Zheng Hongkui to the ground with a gun butt, and dragged him away.

After washing the blood on Zheng Hongkui's face with water, and checking with several other people, Zheng Hongkui was taken to see Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei looked at Zheng Hongkui, who had a complex expression on his face, both annoyed and fearful, and then looked at Liu Tian, ​​who was hiding aside, smiled and said, "Vice General Liu is really good. This general keeps his word and can save you from death. And as long as you restrain those captives to me, then this general will make a statement to his superiors, and maybe he can even promote you and give you a chance to serve the imperial court."

Liu Tianfang was overjoyed immediately, knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Thank you General for your kindness. Liu Tianfang will definitely serve the imperial court to the death, and he will not disappoint the General."

Chu Yunfei smiled, encouraged him a few more words, and asked someone to take him down.

Today Liu Tianfang personally identified Zheng Hongkui in front of everyone. This is a certificate of honor, which is equivalent to cutting off his own way to return to the Zheng family.

No matter how magnanimous Zheng Zhilong was, it was impossible for him to want such a young man who betrayed his younger brother, so Liu Tianfang had no other way out except to surrender to the court.

There are many prisoners, and it is not easy to manage and guard these prisoners.

But if there is a general like Liu Tianfang to lead and help manage it, it will be much easier.

Liu Tianfang now had no way out, and those generals who had identified Zheng Hongkui like him also had no way out. They could only try their best to win Chu Yunfei's favor, so that they could have a way out.

Moreover, the National Defense Forces only have three armies in the southeast. To completely occupy the entire southeast region, the strength of these three armies alone is obviously not enough.

For things like war, of course one cannot rely entirely on the direct line army, the servant army is also indispensable.Now that the general situation is clear, these captives can be transformed into servants.

And people like Liu Tianfang are very suitable for doing such things.

In the past, when the Qing army entered the customs at the end of Ming Dynasty, the maximum number of Manchu and Qing troops did not exceed 10.But the Han Eight Banners who surrendered and the Green Battalion formed by the Han surrendered in the past alone totaled nearly a million people.

If there were not so many leading party green battalion soldiers, the Manchu Qing would not be able to defeat the huge Ming Dynasty even if they were exhausted.

Now that the general trend of the world is clear, and Jiang Chuan has a righteous name, these people don't have much psychological burden to take refuge in the court, so there is no need to worry too much about them surrendering and rebelling.

And this is also the strategy Jiang Chuan made before the National Defense Forces went to Jiangnan.

"Mr. Zheng, you run fast enough, even my old lady doesn't care. I don't know if your elder brother knows you do this, and I don't know if he will give you a good beat."

Seeing Zheng Hongkui with a depressed and depressed face in front of him, Chu Yunfei sneered disdainfully.
