The Xinhua Army took Chenzhou in less than half a day and wiped out the 60,000 Green Camp soldiers in the city, including the three first-rank officials including Zhili Admiral Chen Jinshou, Hubei Admiral Gui Ming and Hunan Admiral Changchun, all of which became prisoners of the Xinhua Army.

The fierce battle destroyed a large section of the city wall in the southern part of Chenzhou. During the street fighting, the houses in the city were also damaged to varying degrees. Due to the stubborn resistance of some Qing troops, the civilians in the city also suffered certain casualties, but overall, it was not too serious.

"General, the Qing army in Chenzhou City has been cleared, and we have captured more than 50,000 people. The Qing army commander Chen Jinshou, the Qing army commander, Zhili Admiral, Gui Ming, Hubei Admiral, and Changchun, Hunan Admiral, both surrendered to us." Brigadier General Zhang Wei, the commander of the 1st Brigade, reported to Major General Sun Hao. This battle was too simple. When the Xinhua army invaded Chenzhou, the Qing army's resistance was very weak. Except for a very small number of people who chose to resist, the rest of the people put down their weapons and surrendered to the Xinhua army after learning that the Xinhua army was willing to accept their surrender. A group of guys with no fighting spirit were simply garbage. If all the Qing army was like this, the Xinhua Kingdom would overthrow the Qing Dynasty, which was just around the corner.

"Where are our losses?" asked Major General Sun Hao. It was expected to wipe out the Qing army in the city. However, the battle ended within half a day. He was still a little surprised. After all, it was nearly 60,000 Qing troops, even 60,000 pigs. The Xinhua army had to catch it for a long time. The combat effectiveness of the Qing army was even worse than that of pigs!

"General, our losses are very small. In this battle, we lost less than a hundred people. It was mainly lost in street battles in the city. A very small number of Qing troops chose to resist. When we wiped out these Qing troops, our army suffered a small loss." Brigadier General Zhang Wei said.

Major General Sun Hao nodded, and there would be casualties in war. He annihilated nearly 60,000 Qing troops, and the Xinhua army suffered less than 100 losses. This price is completely within an acceptable range.

"What about the losses of the civilians in the city?" asked Major General Sun Hao. The Xinhua Kingdom and the Xinhua Army have always attached great importance to civilians. Of course, this refers to the civilians of their own country. Including Chinese people of the same language and race, if they are foreigners, they won't care too much.

"General, before we attacked Chenzhou City, the Qing army had already begun to harm the people in the city. During the battle, accidental injuries inevitably occurred, and the Qing army intended to use the people in the city to cover it. Therefore, the people in the city probably suffered hundreds of casualties." Brigadier General Zhang Wei said.

"Bastard, those Qing troops are simply inferior to pigs and dogs." Major General Sun Hao cursed. Then, he walked around the command center with his hands behind his back. Finally, he said, "Has the treasury in Chenzhou City taken down?"

"We have already controlled it. However, there is not much money inside." Major General Zhang Wei asked.

"Posted an Anmin notice. The Xinhua Army will compensate for any common people whose houses are damaged. In addition, any relatives who have died in the war, including those killed by the Qing soldiers, can be compensated from us. We will temporarily set aside fifty taels of silver for each person." Major General Sun Hao said. Although this would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, the Xinhua Army could quickly win the hearts of the local people. This is exactly what the Xinhua Army wanted.

"Yes, general. By the way, the three generals of the Qing army have already brought them. Do you want to see them?" asked Brigadier General Zhang Wei.

"Bring it in." Major General Sun Hao said. Back then, he was just a pirate in the South China Sea. In his eyes, these first-rank officials of the Qing Dynasty were simply unattainable figures. But now, they have become prisoners.

The three men, Admiral Chen Jinshou of Zhili, Admiral Gui Ming of Hubei, and Admiral Changchun of Hunan, were brought into the command center by the guards. They saw a young soldier wearing a dark green military uniform and upright posture standing in front. Compared with the three old guys, this young general was much younger, and the temperament he showed made them feel ashamed of themselves.

"Hmph! You traitors actually oppose the court. One day, the court will destroy your nine clans!" Zhili Admiral Chen Jinshou cursed. Gui Ming and Changchun's faces changed drastically. They are all prisoners now. If they offended the generals of the Xinhua Army, wouldn't they seek death?

"Haha, we are traitors, and it is better than you recognize thieves as your father? I believe that you will soon see that the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by us. At that time, the world will be restored to the Han Dynasty." Major General Sun Hao laughed. He looked like a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and he was very disdainful of him when he arrived. However, he had to admit that there were too many such people in China. After two hundred years of rule by the Qing Dynasty, many people have regarded the Qing Dynasty as orthodox.

"I want to see if there will be such a day? Your Majesty is wise and prosperous, and you traitors will eventually be destroyed even if you can be rampant for a while." Chen Jinshou said with his head raised.

"You will see someone coming, take these people back to Guangdong." Major General Sun Hao waved his hand and ignored them anymore.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Xinhua Army posted a notice of peace. In the notice, the Xinhua Army told the people of Chenzhou City that all people whose houses were damaged could go to the Xinhua Army to receive compensation. People whose relatives were injured and killed in the battle could also receive compensation. At the beginning, the people did not believe it at all. They were also full of fear of the Xinhua Army, fearing that the Xinhua Army would massacre them wantonly. However, when a child went to the compensation point set up by the Xinhua Army outside the prefect's office to receive twenty taels of silver, everyone else believed it. The child's father was injured in his leg during the battle, and the Xinhua Army gave him compensation according to the city.

For a time, the people who were damaged in the house or had their relatives died or injured in the Xinhua Army one after another to receive compensation. At the same time, the image of the Xinhua Army in the minds of the people suddenly became taller.

"I have lived in my sixties and have never seen such a kind-hearted and righteous army!" An old man couldn't help but exclaim after seeing the Xinhua Army's actions. He thought that if a military disaster occurred and was affected, the people could only admit that they were unlucky, and no one would come to compensate them! This also made them realize that the Xinhua Army and the Qing Army were different.

Taking this opportunity, the cultural teachers of the Xinhua Army also took the opportunity to publicize the policies of Xinhua to the people. When they learned that if they immigrated to Nanyang and could obtain 50 acres of good fertile land, many people were moved. They asked when such policies would be implemented. When they learned that the war would be implemented after the end, the people were looking forward to the Xinhua Army defeating the Qing army as soon as possible. The Chinese desire for land comes from their core. Therefore, the fertile land mastered by Xinhua Kingdom became the most important bargaining factor in winning the hearts of the people.

"I don't have to compensate for my old life, I just want the Xinhua Army to make the decision for my old life. My poor daughter, who was only fifteen years old, was ruined by those who killed thousands of swords, and finally committed suicide. I want the Xinhua Army to make the decision for my old life." An old woman with white hair cried loudly in front of the compensation point of the Xinhua Army. Everyone could easily know what she had happened. After the Qing army entered the city, her daughter was ruined by the Qing army because of her beautiful life, and finally chose to commit suicide. Originally, the old woman thought there was no hope for revenge, but the Xinhua Army's actions made her feel a little hope.

After the Xinhua Army commander Major General Sun Hao learned about this matter, he immediately ordered the people from the Military Law Department to find out the culprits.

With the help of the Military Law Department of the Xinhua Army, it took two days for the old woman to finally find the murderer who killed her daughter. The Xinhua Army immediately ordered all the murderers to be shot.

This made more ordinary people ask the Xinhua Army to make the decision for them. For a time, the prisoners of war were in great danger, and two or three thousand people were shot by the Xinhua Army. The losses of thousands of prisoners of war were nothing to the Xinhua Army. However, it is indeed what they need most to win the love of the people.

After taking down Chenzhou, the main force of the Qing army was almost wiped out. In Hunan, there were only more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry and 20,000 Eight Banners cavalry left. These Qing army were huddled in Hengyang. After a brief rest, the Xinhua Army would continue to move northward and advance northward.

At the same time, other Xinhua troops also launched attacks. In particular, the 5th Brigade and 24th Brigade of the Xinhua Army, which also belonged to the battlefield in northern Guangdong, launched an attack from Nanxi to 50,000 Qing troops in Jiangxi. Although the two brigades had only more than 10,000 people, and their enemies had a total of 50,000. Even after the early battles, there were still more than 40,000 Qing troops in Jiangxi. In terms of military strength, the Xinhua Army was completely at a disadvantage.

However, after the battle began, the Xinhua Army easily defeated the Qing army on the southern border of Jiangxi. The Qing army in the brigade began to flee to the north. In order to eliminate the Qing army in Jiangxi, Brigadier General Zhao Mingfu, the commander of the 5th Brigade of the Xinhua Army, asked Major General Sun Hao to send an army to cut off the Qing army's retreat.

After learning about the request of Brigadier General Zhao Mingfu, Major General Sun Hao ordered the 8th Infantry Brigade, which was heading towards Hengyang, to cross the Luoxiao Mountains between Hunan and Jiangxi, to attack Ji'an, and to block the road to the escape of the Qing army in Jiangxi.

Although the Luoxiao Mountains are steep, there is an official road east of Hengyang. The intersection is not very bad and can be used for the army to march. After receiving the order, the 8th Brigade immediately changed the direction of the march, crossed the Luoxiao Mountains, went straight to Ji'an, and cooperated with the 5th Brigade and the 24th Brigade to encircle and annihilate the Qing army in Jiangxi. In the end, the Xinhua Army surrounded and annihilate the main force of the Qing army in Jiangxi south of Ji'an. (To be continued...)
