Chapter Eight hundred and seventy-fifth Haicheng is still a family!

A large number of Manchu soldiers and Han troops arrived and reinforced the two yellow flag soldiers in time. Oboi was also wearing armor and led the way, repelling the white flag soldiers several times. Not only did he stabilize his position, but he looked like he was showing signs of defeating the white flag soldiers.

If the situation continues, the rebellious more than 2,000 white flag soldiers are likely to be eliminated by the Eight Banners of Manzhou who are loyal to the emperor, and the gathering of a large number of Manzhou soldiers will also give Oboi the confidence and time to clean up the situation again.

Even though the large Qing army is still retreating now, only a few thousand Manchu and Mongolian cavalry gathered, Oboi could hold back his position. No matter how bad it was, it would force the Taiping Army to give up chasing the Qing army's defeated troops. In this way, the Taiping Army would not achieve greater results. After all, their troops were limited. At this moment, they could counterattack on the whole line, and there were only more than 10,000 troops, but the opponents were mostly cavalry. If you were not careful, you would be very likely to be attacked by the Qing army to attack. In this way, the consequences would be much more serious.

Fortunately, the Taiping Army's cavalry arrived in time, and they drove thousands of defeated soldiers into this direction, which made the Manzhou cavalry that had finally gathered together under attack. Seeing the arrival of the Taiping Army's reinforcements, Wuerte and others became more and more brave and rushed towards the chaotic Qing army. Under the interference of the front and back attacks and the large number of defeated soldiers, Obai was brave and had no strength in this chaos, so he had to order to retreat.

Just as Oboi gritted his teeth and ordered his retreat, someone suddenly shouted heart-wrenchingly in the chaos: "Captain Pingnan is dead, Prince Pingnan is dead!"

Beile Tuntai, who was running away, was shocked by the shouting. He knew that the Prince of Pingnan was Shang Zhixiao, who was named General Zhennan by the emperor. Since the monk Zhixin and his son died for the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong, although the emperor did not directly hand over Shang Kexi's title of Prince of Pingnan to Shang Zhixiao, he acknowledged the identity of Prince of Pingnan. Tuntai was sure that if there were no accidents in the future, Shang Zhixiao would have a great chance of inheriting the Prince of Pingnan, and there would not even be pressure from the Queen Mother.

The Sanshun King made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. Kong Youde died in Guilin, and only one woman, Kong Sizhen, was unable to attack the title of the prince. Geng Jimao rebelled and surrendered to the Taiping gang. He heard that he had died of illness, but even if he did not die, the Qing court would not recognize his title of the Prince of Jingnan. In addition to Shang Zhixiao, the entire family of the Shang family was killed in Guangdong. It can be said that the Shang family in Haicheng is now the only one. If he dies, the Shang family in Haicheng will be a real extermination. In the words of the Han people, it will be a terror.

Compared with Geng Zhongming's suicide fearing and Geng Jimao's rebellion, the Shang family has a very high status in Shunzhi's mind. It is no exaggeration to describe the Shang family as a loyal and wise man. This is why Shunzhi acknowledged Shang Zhixiao's identity as Prince Pingnan and named him General Zhennan.

Oboi didn't know that Shang Zhixiao was dead, even if he knew, he couldn't care. Tuntai was eager to escape, so how could he rob Shang Zhixiao's body? Besides, since the Taiping Army crossed the river, there were really three Gushan E who died in the Qing Dynasty, let alone two princes who died in the south. One prince of Pingnan was nothing, and he would die if he died.

None of the Manchu and Mongolian generals left a little step because of Shang Zhixiao's death. Several generals of the Green Camp, such as the Zhili Admiral Liu Dou, Shandong General Liu Zhaotian, and others were too busy to take care of the matter. However, Zu Zeqing, who was also from the Han army, was faintly sad when he heard that Shang Zhixiao died in battle. Zu Zeqing was the son of Zu Dashou who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, and Wu Sangui, the King of Pingxi, was his cousin. After Zu Dashou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Zu Zeqing also surrendered to the Qing court with his father. Relying on his father's Yin and his own abilities, he was repeatedly promoted and was now the leader of the Han army's Zhenghong Banner.

Zu Zeqing was sad, but Shang Zhixiao Ren was dead, so he couldn't do anything. He saw the banner of Prince Wu Keshan of Korqin from afar and whipped to the north without hesitation. He did not run with Oboi, but with Wu Keshan and the others.

No one cares about the death of Prince Pingnan, the only thing he cares about is the slaves born in the Liaodong family of the Shang family.

When Zu Zeqing beat Ma Bei, when Shang Zhixiao went to Beijing, the many slaves whom Shang Kexi assigned him were crying and wailing with Shang Zhixiao's corpse. He was so heartbroken that he was shaking and unpretentious, just like his dead parents.

Shang Zhixiao shouldn't have died. If he had not led his troops to support the Central Army of Oboi and fled north directly, he would have run away a few miles long ago. However, Shang Zhixiao was a man of blood. The Taiping Army had a grudge against him to kill his father and brother, and even a grudge against his mother (his mother committed suicide), and also a grudge against destroying the entire clan. As the only descendant of the Shang family in Haicheng and the prince of Pingnan, the overwhelming hatred made him not afraid of the power of the Taiping Army at all. He had only hatred in his eyes and anger in his heart.

He led his Han army to bravely rescue Oboi's central army and personally killed a rebellious Baiqi soldier. He was about to break through and meet Oboi in front of him, but he didn't expect that a team of cavalry from the Taiping Army broke up behind him.

The Han army under Shang Zhixiao was not the elite Han army under the Pingnan vassal of his father Shang Kexi, but the Niulu who was newly transferred from Liaodong before the New Year. Most of them were family slaves under the former Sanshun king vassal. Their father and grandfather were ordinary Han people who were captured outside the pass during the Chongzhen period. These Han army were also called slaves under the Qing court. They were originally only cultivated land in Liaodong, but due to the war in the south, the eight banners of the Han army suffered serious losses, so they were drawn to enrich the eight banners of the Han army in the capital. This battle was the first time these Han soldiers took battle, so they lacked experience on the battlefield. They were suddenly attacked and collapsed.

The subordinates who were running around were dispersed, and their loyal slaves were dispersed. Although the slaves bravely blocked the Taiping Army and wanted to rush over to protect their master, they could not stop the Taiping Army roaring and slashing and killing the Taiping Army with their sabers.

When several family slaves finally found their master, they found that their master was dead under the sword of the Taiping Army. The body might have been stepped on by a horse, and the bones on their bodies were not intact and soft to the touch. After the person who had not broken bones died, his whole body was as hard as ice. Shang Zhixiao's head was stepped into the mud by the war horse, and his face was a little unrecognizable. If it weren't for the general Zhennan uniform on his body, several family slaves might not have recognized their young master.

"Prince, we are sorry to you!"

A family slave cried a lot when he thought of the scene where King Pingnan asked them to protect the second son. Everyone in the other family slaves burst into tears and cried loudly. They were heartbroken. When the second son died, the Shang family would pass on the incense of the Shang family in Haicheng, and there would be no descendants of the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. What kind of face do they have to meet the prince under the Jiuquan and the father and grandfather under the Jiuquan?

"Nanman, I'll fight with you!"

A family slave rushed towards the group of Taiping infantry running towards him. The other family slaves turned grief into strength and rushed forward with weapons. The masters were all dead, and they didn't want to live anymore.

After a shout of killing, several corpses fell into a pool of blood.

Teams of Taiping Army stepped by Shang Zhixiao's body and rushed towards the north.

The Shang family in Haicheng has lost its descendants and has no descendants.
