Another reason why the officials dared not say that surrender was that Dong Xueli had launched a murderous act and cut down dozens of soldiers who were yelling to surrender. He would personally lead people to the city gate and say that he would not surrender even if he swears to die.

Why did Dong Xueli refuse to surrender? Because he had too much blood from the Kuidong soldiers, and the blood debt was not received in recent years, but was owed sixteen years ago. When Li Zicheng attacked Meng County, Dong Xueli crossed the river to rescue him, and killed thousands of peasant soldiers at once. Liangzi was deeply in great harmony. In recent years, he was in charge of the admiral of Huguang, first attacked Guizhou and Bada, and then attacked Wushan, and captured no less than a thousand heads of Kuidong soldiers, which harmed many Kuidong family members. If he really wanted to open the city to surrender, could those big thieves in Kuidong spare him? Therefore, anyone in Wuchang City could surrender, but Dong Xueli could not surrender!

So without Zhang Changgeng taking the lead, the officials really didn't have the courage to surrender. If Dong Xueli goes crazy, they can't guarantee that the top of their heads can save their lives. With Zhang Changgeng taking the lead, that's different. The Governor General said he was going to surrender. If Dong Xueli refused, the group of people under his command would always listen. The ship was about to sink, and the captain was about to die, and the crew might not want to die too!

But Zhang Changgeng was still immersed in the past. When he thought of the moving part, he ignored so many people watching it and just touched his sleeves on his face. Seeing the staff who had been following him for many years was sad for it: Lord, this is nostalgia, love, and love!

"Governor General, I think that the Lord should open the vassal treasury immediately and reward the soldiers guarding the city with all the ku silver to boost morale. In this way, my Wuchang City will have a glimmer of hope!"

When Zhu Changxu saw Zhang Changgengguang sighing in the mourning voice, he wiped his tears, and was a little anxious. Isn’t this a waste of time? A group of people were sitting here for a long time, without a safe charter. He is really a mediocre official, and he is incompetent! He guards the city, as long as he has money, he is afraid that the soldiers will not work hard? He is afraid that the city will not raise enough Qingcheng to the city? So the most urgent task is to quickly take out the money, not to wipe away any tears!

After hearing Zhu Changxu's request to open a vassal treasury, Zhang Changgeng was slightly stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Huguang governor He Zhenbo took the lead and said, "Mr. Zhu, what you said is light, but there is no money left in this vassal treasury!"

"No money? Didn't you raise a batch of money to warehousing a few days ago?"

Zhu Changxu was very unlucky. He Zhenbo was jealous of losing money. The Ming army broke the city, and no matter how much silver the treasury was, it was theirs! Besides, don’t think he didn’t know. A few days ago, the Governor forced a group of people and forced him to collect more than 70,000 taels of silver from the wealthy families in the city. The silver has just been put into the treasury and is so hot that it is gone!

He Zhenbo snorted slightly: "That batch of silver has been taken away by Cao Shou and Ma Yulong. Now there is no one or two taels of silver in the vassal warehouse!"

"Take it seriously?" Zhu Changxu became anxious.

"What am I lying to you?" He Zhenwang spread his hands and looked like he would go and see it by yourself if you don't believe it.

Zhu Changxu was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Changgeng. Zhang Changgen sighed lightly, although he said nothing, but his movements and expressions were clearly telling Zhu Changxu that the money was gone.

"Cao, those who are greedy for life and fear of death should be killed! They should be killed!"

Zhu Changxu was so anxious that he stomped his feet. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, but there was no money. How could he expect the recruited soldiers in the city to defend the enemy? He also hated Zhang Changgeng for not knowing the knowledge of people, so he fed so much money to two wolves and heartless things, which made Wuchang now have no support!

Seeing Zhu Changxu stomping his feet and cursing, as if he was sitting in a waste, just like a loyal and capable minister, a Taoist priest couldn't help but snorted: "No matter how much money you have, you will have to spend your life?" The implication was that the Ming army besieged Wuchang and the people in the water camp chose to return to Ming, which was a very wise choice.

Zhu Changxu glared at the platform, glanced around, and found that a group of officials were all like dead parents, and no one was willing to stand up or fight like him, and he couldn't help but be furious.

He Zhenbo ignored him and asked everyone: "The time for the Ming army to give us is coming soon. Do you have a unified opinion?" This approach was to ask everyone for advice.

None of the officials and the staff spoke, but Zhu Changxu gritted his teeth and said, "I would rather die than surrender!" After saying that, Zhang Changgeng, who was expressionless opposite, said, "Governor General, Wuchang is in danger. As the imperial court, the emperor's salary will be taken, the emperor's worries. No matter how the governor general decides, the emperor will rather die than surrender! The emperor will return to the yamen to organize the youth and strong guards. Even if he disperses his family's wealth, the emperor will never be a person who surrenders!" After saying that, he actually took his feet and left.

"Mr. Zhu!"

An official who was familiar with Zhu Changxu hurriedly stood up and wanted to stop Zhu Changxu, but Zhu Changxu stopped and left straight.

When Zhu Changxu left, the hall fell silent. The officials and staff looked at Zhang Changgeng in different expressions.

"I don't want to see such a loyal person in Wuchang City."

Zhang Changgeng slowly stood up, shook his head and sighed

Zhu Changxu, the governor of Wuchang, who was determined to take the battle and would rather spend all his family wealth, left the Governor's Office, but instead returned to his magistrate's office to move the family wealth to the city, he ordered the sedan chairman to jog all the way to the east gate.

Dong Xueli was in charge at the East Gate.

When Zhu Changxu got off the sedan chair, he first saw dozens of heads hanging on the flagpole under the city. He was not afraid, nor did he take anybody to lead the way. He went to the city gate building with familiarity. In the building, Dong Xueli and a group of green camp generals were waiting for him.

"How is it, is Zhang Changgeng willing to take out the money?"

Before Zhu Changxu could take a breath, Dong Xueli asked anxiously.

"No, nothing!" Zhu Changxu gasped, and told the matter that the batch of silver that had entered the warehouse a few days ago had been called to move out of the water camp. When he heard that there was no silver in the vassal treasury, the generals of the Huguang Green Camp were scolded.

"What a quarrel! Shut up!"

Dong Xueli was upset and scolded his subordinates. Then he said to Zhu Changxu: "Will Zhang Changgeng surrender or defend?"

"When I came out, Zhang Changgeng hadn't made up his mind yet, but judging from his appearance, he probably wanted to keep it."

"I don't expect him to be Zhang Changgeng to surrender," Dong Xueli snorted, and his tone was long, "But he doesn't surrender, but he can't drag us to death together!"

Zhu Changxu had been waiting for Dong Xueli's words for a long time, and nodded and asked, "Then will the Admiral open the city?"

Dong Xueli looked around and nodded violently: "Open!" He also ordered a group of subordinates who were anxious to open the door and surrender: "Look carefully, the Taiping Army is wearing red clothes. Don't surrender the wrong ones. If they surrender to the Kuidong group, there will be no place to complain if they die!"

"Don't worry, admiral!"

The generals of the green camp smiled and said, "Those who know the current affairs are heroes, but the heads of people who don't know the current affairs are hung on the flagpole. They want to die and want to hold everyone together, and they deserve it if they die!

Dong Xueli and Zhu Changxu were also ready to surrender. As soon as they walked down the city gate, they heard cheers coming from the south gate.

The two were shocked and Dong Xueli asked, "What's going on?"

Who on the left knew what happened? Dong Xueli was worried about whether something had happened at the South Gate, so he asked a confidant to take a team of personal soldiers to check it out. If there were soldiers who caused trouble, they would suppress it on the spot.

As a result, after two incense sticks, a personal soldier came back panting and reported that the governor from the South Gate led a group of people out of the city to surrender to the Ming army. Now the Ming army has entered the city!

This news shocked Dong Xueli and Zhu Changxu.

After a while, Zhu Changxu cursed: "Good you Zhang Changgeng, you are a human face and a beastly heart. Are you worthy of the Qing Dynasty and the Emperor?" (To be continued.)
