Chapter 673 Tragedy

Wen Zhong had only one condition for peace talks, that is, he begged China to allow the Great Zhou to retain a province and maintain the national reign.

In exchange, the Great Zhou would go to the emperor's title and surrender to China. At the same time, it announced to the whole world that the Great Zhou would abdicate the throne to China, so that China would appear to be "righteous".

The letter successfully arrived in Xu Shiyang's hands, and his reply to his brother-in-law was:

1. China must be unified, and the Great Zhou cannot retain any place in the territory.

But just like Xu Shisong's letter that Wen Zhong had not had time to open, Xu Shiyang allowed Xu Shisong to establish a country overseas and then remove the imperial title of the Great Zhou clans to migrate to Xu Shisong's fence. If they were willing to close the door and continue the Great Zhou, as long as it was not exposed, China would not pursue it.

Xu Shiyang was even willing to provide some help for the establishment of this feudal state - such as force and economic support.

2. Since it is a country where China is a vassal state, it is natural to surrender to China, and this matter can be ignored.

3. China does not need the Great Zhou to abdicate the throne. China's orthodoxy comes from restoring the former land of the Han family in Jiangbei, eliminating various Tartars, and reopening the Western Regions. It is not the same as the Daoism of the Great Zhou that repeatedly failed and compromised to the outside world.

With this reply, Xu Shiyang hoped that Wen Zhong would immediately put down his weapons and surrender to the Chinese army.

Xu Shiyang promised that he would fulfill his promise.

In fact, if Wen Zhong could build this letter earlier, the war in Jiangnan would probably end.

But he only wrote this letter after fleeing all the way to Yong'an County, Yanping Prefecture, Fujian Province. Therefore, when Xu Shiyang received the letter and handed it to the messenger to send a reply, the situation changed a little again.

But this change is not in a direction that is beneficial to the Great Zhou, but the opposite.

Seeing that the Great Zhou rule in Jiangnan was about to collapse, some local and foreign ambitionists naturally wanted to take this opportunity to make a big vote.

Just next to Yanping Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture, the Quanzhou Maritime Bulletin was rebelled and surrendered to China.

Logically speaking, there were not many officials from the Great Zhou who rebelled against Zhou and surrendered to China at this time, and this person was not very conspicuous. However, whether to seek credit from China or to seek wealth, Pu Shuchang led his subordinates and a group of Pars merchants (we know that the maritime merchants in this era were all semi-commerce and half-thieves) and slaughtered the Great Zhou royal family in Quanzhou, which led to a large-scale looting of the whole city.

For a moment, Quanzhou became a hell on earth. According to incomplete statistics, there were more than 3,000 Zhao clans and in-laws killed by Pu Shue, while the civilians and merchants from various countries suffered 60,000!

Pu Shuchang and his gang gained amazing wealth through this large-scale looting. However, when they continued to attack Putian Prefecture, they were attacked by local military and civilians and the resistance forces organized by the Nan Shaolin Temple, so they did not spread the tragedy outside Quanzhou.

Frightened by the Quanzhou royal family being slaughtered by Pu Shui-geng, who claimed to have "surrendered to China", Wen Zhong had to lead the small court to avoid Tingzhou Prefecture and continue to go south before Xu Shiyang could reply.

After Xu Shiyang learned of the tragedy in Quanzhou, he overturned the table in anger.

This is not only because it scared away the small court and continued to delay the war, but more importantly, the Chinese army went south for several months and annihilated hundreds of thousands of Great Zhou troops, but the combined casualties caused by the two armies were not as much as the blood shed in Quanzhou in a few days!

"Who asked that bastard to kill the Zhao clan!? I haven't killed a Zhao clan until now. His old boy killed three thousand!? He actually killed all the children!?"

Xu Shiyang was furious in the tent of the front headquarters:

"And how did that bastard involve the people? I was trembling all the way, and even the marching speed continued to slow down, just to avoid such war and disaster! As a result, I did it, and he actually broke the good situation! And he threw dirty water on me!!!"

"Where did this guy named Pu Shugeng come from the bastard!"

The officers who followed Xu Shiyang were so scared that they didn't dare to let out - they were the first time they had seen the commander-in-chief in such a state.

Only a few generals dare to pluck the courage to reply.

Li Feihu of the Navy whispered: "That man is called Pu Shougeng. His ancestors are from Pars, the richest man in Fujian and Guangdong, and his family is rich. He has served as the Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse for almost thirty years and is deeply rooted in Quanzhou..."

"Are the ancestors Pars?" Xu Shiyang looked at Li Feihu with red eyes.

"Ah?" Li Feihu was startled and he replied in a daze: "Yes, yes, his ancestors were indeed Pars, but they have lived in China for three generations..."

Xu Shiyang said word by word:

"I'm not raising it! It's mature! It's white! Eyes! Wolf!"

"Feng Sanhu!"

"I'm here!"

"You lead the cavalry team first and go to Quanzhou immediately!" Xu Shiyang ordered viciously: "Catch the bandit group of Pu Shugeng! Those who dare to resist will kill them!"

"yes!"

"Luo Haitao and Li Feihu!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

"Chain the coast of Fujian Province, and foreign merchant ships are not allowed to enter and exit! Van Pals ships will be seized first regardless of goodness!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

"Bring that bastard named Pu Shougeng to me!"

...

It was not difficult to arrest Pu Shougeng, and he did not want to escape. Until he saw Feng Sanhu, the man proudly sent someone to send three Zhao clan daughters to Feng Sanhu as a bribe. He hoped that the celebrity in front of Xu Shiyang could help him say something good and allow him to be promoted to the prefect of Quanzhou - he felt that slaughtering the royal family of the previous dynasty was the greatest loyalty to the new dynasty.

However, Feng Sanhu turned his back and six thousand Chinese cavalrymen rode into Quanzhou, beat Pu Shougeng's private armed forces, and then entered the Pu family manor to arrest Pu Shougeng and all his family members.

On August 15th, Xu Shiyang led the guards to ride fast horses into Quanzhou.

As soon as he stepped into this once most prosperous port city in the world, the devastated and the corpses all over the streets made Xu Shiyang smoke.

This time when he went south, Xu Shiyang began to make arrangements since 18 years ago, gradually penetrated and controlled the public opinion of Jiangnan, won over the wealthy families in Jiangnan, and established a positive image of China in the hearts of the people, so that Jiangnan people would recognize China more than the Great Zhou.

A multi-pronged approach, the war of unitedness that should have been named history, which was the least casualty in history, was destroyed by a Parsian idiot!

Xu Shiyang felt both sad and wronged. He was poured a large bucket of sewage by this bastard for his eighteen years of work, which made him feel cold.

"kill!"

Xu Shiyang gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Since you like killing so much, then kill it happily!"

"Fin Province, no, search and kill all the Pars people in Jiangnan!"

"A man of Van Pals, no matter how old or young, will not be kept! A woman is a slave! Never turn over!"
