Mianyang surrendered, and the strategic goal of tens of thousands of troops to stabilize Sichuan was achieved.

Two days later, Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu arrived in Mianyang, and the four generals of Daxi formally surrendered to Wanjun.

In these two days, Li Dingguo fully felt the enthusiasm of Wanjun. It was not a desire to win over the surrendered generals, but a strange respect and curiosity.

Li Dingguo naturally had no way of knowing where Wan Jun's good impression of him came from. Just like Sun Kewang also had no way of knowing where Wan Jun's wariness of him came from.

On the platform, the four generals presented their seals and talismans and kowtowed to the army.

Wan Jun asked people to accept the tokens and stepped forward to help Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang, the four of them said, "Since you surrendered to the Chinese Army, please restore your original surnames from now on!"

If you can restore your surname, you can inherit the clan sacrifice. Although Li Dingguo has said it once, he still thanked Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi together.

After the surrender ceremony was over, there was one more thing to resolve. Wan Jun called the four of them to the hall.

After the maid poured the tea, all the troops retreated, leaving only four people, "You must have heard that I am the son-in-law of King Rui."

Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu looked at each other. The thing they were worried about had come, but they didn't expect that Wan Jun would take the initiative to mention it, and he would mention it so quickly and directly.

Wan Jun said, "Prince Rui fled to Chongqing and his whole family was killed. Who did it?"

The four of them knelt on the ground together, but they were silent. No one answered Wanjun's question.

King Rui was killed by Zhang Xianzhong, but the old emperor was the adoptive father of four people. Although he was dead, no one wanted to be an unfilial and unjust person. After a while of silence, Wan Jun smiled and said, "I know it is true even if you don't tell me.

who."

Sun Kewang said, "Your Majesty, the Head of State knows it well. During the great chaos in the world, countless members of the Zhu Ming clan were killed. When the Daxi soldiers killed King Rui, how could they have known that a few years later, he would have a son-in-law who is as good as yourselves?"

Liu Wenxiu followed, "Yes, who can predict the future? Remember when Li Zicheng killed King Jin, King Fu, and King Xihe..."

Wan Jun interrupted Liu Wenxiu, "Needless to say, Prince Rui's family was killed by Zhang Xianzhong. I know this very well. Although he is your adoptive father, I will not pursue the four of you."

Li Dingguo said, "What does the head of state mean?"

Wan Jun looked at the four of them and said, "You have to let me give an explanation to my wife and the people, right?"

Speaking of this, the four of them still didn't understand. Sun Ke suddenly thought of one person and said hurriedly, "Sir, there will be something to report!"

Wan Jun said, "But it doesn't matter."

Sun Kewang said, "The last general identified Wang Zhaolin, the former prime minister of the left in the Great Western Army. When the Western King conquered Chongqing, it was this traitor who instigated the Western King to kill King Rui's family. Later, King Rui's daughter disappeared, and it was this guy who gave advice to the Western King.

Cut off the right arm of the 30,000 surrendered Ming army."

Li Dingguo said, "Wang Zhaolin instigated the King of the West to kill soldiers and civilians indiscriminately. He has oppressed the soldiers in the army and has accumulated hatred for a long time. I beg the head of state to kill this traitor and become King Rui to avenge the soldiers and relieve their hatred."

Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi said, "Wang Zhaolin has done many evil things, and killing King Rui is outrageous. I just killed this thief to give an explanation to the world."

Wan Jun smiled and said, "That's very good. I will compile a book and send it to Chengdu together with Wang Zhaolin."

Wang Zhaolin's fate was decided, and the big stone in the hearts of the four people finally fell to the ground, and the matter was finally explained.

On the second day, Wang Zhaolin happily got on the carriage and when he left the camp gate, he happened to meet four people who were going to Wanjun's tent.

Wang Zhaolin said with a joyful smile, "Four generals, Mr. Wan has appointed me as the Prime Minister of the Left. I will go and stay in Chengdu. You can take care of yourself, haha."

Sun Kewang looked at the carriage and asked curiously, "Is there a position of Prime Minister Zuo in the Chinese army?"

The four of them looked at a group of soldiers escorting the carriage farther and farther away, and suddenly they laughed together.

With the end of the Sichuan War, the Chinese army freed up its strength to start other wars.

In June, He Zhen and Sun Shoufa of Xing'an Prefecture were rescued by Shangzhou Prefecture and agreed to surrender to the Chinese army. Li Wenlong, who had been stationed in Shangzhou Prefecture for two years, went out to protect the pass and besiege Xi'an.

In July, as the war in Xi'an distracted the Qing Dynasty, He Zhen and Sun Shoufa of Xing'an Prefecture calmed down and began to send troops to attack Hanzhong.

Although Guangyuan was unable to open up the situation for a while, He Dingchuan of Bazhong defeated the Qing troops, fought out from Micang Mountain, and began to attack Hanzhong. If Xi'an fell, Hanzhong would become a turtle in the urn, and Hauge could only withdraw his troops from Hanzhong and retreat to Xi'an.

, the plan of the Qing troops to march south to Sichuan failed.

Hauge's army withdrew to Guanzhong and attacked and attacked Li Wenlong. After being defeated for a while, Li Wenlong could only withdraw to the Lantian area again.

In August, Luoyang was captured by the Chinese army, and the Manchu and Chinese armies in the Central Plains began to confront each other with the Yellow River as the boundary.

Although Anqing retreated to the Jinjiling area for a time, after receiving reinforcements, the two armies resumed their tug of war, and finally still faced off in Anqing.

The only progress made was in the southwest. In June, Zhang Wuyang entered Zunyi, surrendered Wang Yingxiong, organized 4,000 troops, and quickly pacified Guizhou.

Until August, the Southwest Front Army moved out in three directions and suddenly entered Yunnan.

Since the rebellion of Shapu Chieftain Sha Dingzhou, most of Yunnan has been in Sha Dingzhou's hands, leaving only the west of Chuxiong under the control of Yang Weizhi and Mu Tianbo.

Sha Dingzhou was originally the son of Sha Yuan, the chieftain of Wangnong. After the death of Pu Mingming, the chieftain of Amizhou, his wife Wan remarried Sha Dingzhou. The two chieftains merged into one. Sha Dingzhou's power greatly increased and he immediately launched a rebellion.

Occupy Kunming.

Mu Tianbo fled to Chuxiong under the protection of his close guards, and then guarded it with Yang Weizhi of the Jincang Army.

After learning that Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou, had fled to Chuxiong, Sha Dingzhou led his troops to besiege Chuxiong twice, but was repelled by the defenders both times.

When the Duke of Guizhou suppressed Yunnan, Sha Dingzhou could not feel at peace until Mu Tianbo died. After May, as the states and counties in eastern Yunnan were pacified, Sha Dingzhou sent a large amount of grain, ordnance, gold and silver to the Chuxiong front line.

After July, Sha Dingzhou assembled a huge force of 370,000 troops and marched to Chuxiong in a mighty manner, vowing to completely eliminate the last Duke of Guizhou.

Sha Dingzhou divided 370,000 soldiers and horses into seventy-two battalions, surrounded Chuxiong layer by layer, and dug a trench seven feet deep and one foot wide around the city, and erected wooden spike fences along the trench in an attempt to encircle Chuxiong.

Die Chuxiong City.

Although Chuxiong occupies a favorable location, it is a small city after all. How could it withstand such an attack?

Mu Tianbo sent out countless letters asking for help, but the Ming Dynasty had already crossed the river like a mud bodhisattva, and it was difficult to protect itself. Where could there be troops to rescue Yunnan.

Although the distress letter to the Chinese Army was responded to, five months had passed.

I saw that I was running out of ammunition and food, but suddenly things took a turn for the worse.

After keeping his troops stationary for two months, just to paralyze Sha Dingzhou, Zhang Wuyang went out in three directions. The army suddenly appeared in Qujing and defeated the 7000 chieftain soldiers stationed in Sha Dingzhou.

With the fall of Qujing, Kunming was directly exposed to the threat of southwest military power.

Just when I got the news in Shadingzhou, I withdrew my troops and returned to Kunming.

At that time, Li Laiheng's troops had already rushed to Kunming day and night and set up an ambush in Qipan Mountain.

After Li Laiheng's troops set up an ambush and rested for half a day, the chieftain soldiers began to appear on the mountain road, shouting and neighing. From a distance, the dust and smoke were billowing, and it was difficult to see how many soldiers and horses were behind the team.

The deputy general looked at the formation and couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said, "This is a bit much!"

Li Laiheng asked, "How many are there?"

The deputy general said, "I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of soldiers!"

Li Laiheng spat at his feet, "I'm afraid of his grandma, what I did today was his tens of thousands of soldiers."

Turning around, Li Laiheng said, "Send orders to all ministries to prepare for battle!"

Most of the chieftain soldiers had already arrived at Qipan Mountain. Suddenly, an order was sounded, gunshots and explosions were heard. The Chinese army came out of the mountains and forests, and the grenadiers threw grenades at the crowd.

Suddenly hit by fire, the chieftain soldiers in the front line immediately became confused. After hurriedly shooting some arrows, they fled towards the rear.

In Sha Dingzhou's square army formation, seeing a surprise attack, he immediately ordered the troops to form a formation. However, the mountain road was narrow, and the broken troops of the front army crowded over, and the soldiers in the rear row who had just formed a formation were huddled together.

Li Laiheng led his troops to the front, charged and fought for a while, and chased them for ten miles on the mountain road before stopping.

Sha Dingzhou led his troops to flee for thirty miles before stopping the fleeing troops. At this time, looking at his soldiers and horses, most of the soldiers and horses of the 72nd Battalion had lost their organization.

Only a few thousand people were killed, but the number of casualties from being trampled on the mountain road and rolled down the cliff was at least ten times higher.

After Sha Dingzhou collected his defeated troops, he stabilized his troops' morale and soon found out that the number of people who had just ambushed him was no more than 10,000.

This news almost made Sha Dingzhou furious. More than 300,000 soldiers and horses were chased and beaten by 10,000 people. When word spread, Shapu Tusi no longer had to hang out in Yunnan.

Sha Dingzhou summoned the best warriors from each battalion and assembled 80,000 soldiers and horses. He took his subordinates Tang Jingbin, Chen Changming, and Tie Huhu as partial generals, each leading 20,000 men to cooperate with him, and took the initiative to attack Li Laiheng's troops in Qipan Mountain.

Seeing Sha Dingzhou charging towards him with great momentum, Li Laiheng turned around and said, "Brothers, the bloody battlefield is happening right now. The soldiers of each battalion and company have formed a formation to kill the enemy. They will die in the formation!"

Hearing this, everyone shouted in unison, "You will die in the battle even if you die!"

Li Laiheng smiled and said, "At worst, eighteen years from now, we will be a good man again!"

Everyone shouted in unison, "Eighteen years later, another hero!"

Li Laiheng said, "The musketeers line up in a row and get close to fight. If anyone in the front row retreats, he will be killed directly in the back row!"

Everyone shouted in unison again, "Kill him!"

Li Laiheng saw that the chieftain soldiers were swarming closer and shouted, "Move forward! Kill!"

After giving the order, the musketeers lined up in a row, shoulder to shoulder, holding their muskets to their chests, and began to advance towards the chieftain soldiers.

Fifty steps later, the grassland strong bows could already enter the shooting range, but due to the hot and humid weather, the chieftain soldiers' bows and arrows were useless at this distance.

But it was enough for the musketeers, "Raise the gun!"

The musketeers stopped and raised both rows of guns, aiming at the chieftain soldiers.

"put!"

This command was hoarse and deafening, but it was immediately swallowed up by the strong wind and waves, and was drowned in the overwhelming gunfire.
Chapter completed!
