Zhu Dashan came all the way to the government office, and was detained by Peng Zhenxi, the governor of Chongqing, who escaped from Dazhou, and Qu Chang, the governor of Chongqing. Seeing that Zhu Dashan walked in, Zhu Dashan didn't care, and said directly to the officials in Chongqing: "Since you surrender and return to Ming anyway, I will accept you." As long as those who surrender are retained according to their original positions, you go out and immediately set an example to calm the people, organize the officials to arrest quickly, maintain order in the city, and those who dare to take the opportunity to make trouble will be severely punished. ”

The detained officials immediately showed their loyalty, and then the soldiers of the Restoration Army took them out on errands. Only Chongqing prefect Zhai Chang and Peng Zhenxi, the two of them still stood still, and Zhu Dashan saw him and said, "Who are you?" Why don't you run an errand? ”

Zhai Chang dusted off his shirt and said: "The old man is Zhai Chang, the governor of Chongqing in the Ming Dynasty, what right do you have as a martial artist to dictate to my Wenchen?" Zhu Dashan stared at the boastful Zhai Chang in front of him with wide eyes, and said, "There are still Ming officials in Chongqing City?" I don't know what Lord Zhai has to say? ”

Zhai Chang said proudly: "Don't dare to see the teaching, if the general is willing to listen, I can talk about it and point out a clear path for the general." Zhu Dashan didn't know what tricks he was playing, so he immediately said: "Oh, then Lord Zhai can't help but talk about it." ”

Zhai Chang looked like a master and said: "My Ming Dynasty has always been a military force, since the general has recovered Chongqing, please ask the general to transfer the army out of the city, and it would be good if there were local ministers such as me in the city, and all matters in the city would also be handled by Chongqing officials, and the general did not need to ask more." ”

When Zhu Dashan heard this, he understood in his heart that this Zhai Chang was looking at himself as a general of the Ming Dynasty, and now he had captured Chongqing. After Chongqing was recovered, Zhu Dashan did not do anything to deal with some officials who surrendered to the Manchus. He thought that he had seen through Zhu Dashan's current situation of being a civilian official, and in order to cover up the stain that he had surrendered to the Manchus, he directly preemptively attacked. Using the Ming Dynasty's national policy of civil and imperial military to suppress Zhu Dashan and seize the first credit for the recovery of Chongqing, not only will the stain of surrendering to the Manchu Qing be washed away, but the credit of recovering Chongqing can also add a lot of highlights to his official career.

Zhu Dashan looked at Zhai Chang with some incredulity and said, "May I ask who I will hand over Chongqing?" Who will manage and govern Chongqing? Zhai Chang said: "The old man is the patrol of Chongqing, of course, the old man will govern, the general will transfer your army out of the city." ”

Even Tan Shuanghua, who was following behind Zhu Dashan, said angrily: "The old man from there, the city that the Restoration Army worked so hard to fight, you actually want to go with a fluttering word." Who are you? Zhai Chang saw a woman emerging from behind Zhu Dashan, and accused himself, saying: "Where did you come from, crazy girl, you can also interject when this official speaks, get out of the way." ”

Zhu Dashan couldn't understand where this Zhai Chang came from, so he directly let himself give Chongqing to him, Zhu Dashan said: "What if I don't let it?" If I don't hand over Chongqing to you, what can you do with me? Zhai Chang said: "You are so bold, you are plotting rebellion, you are rebellious." ”

Zhu Dashan didn't look at Zhai Chang, turned his head to look at Peng Zhenxi and said, "You also think the same way as him?" Also here to ask for Chongqing City? Peng Zhenxi hurriedly said: "No, no, I was originally the governor of Dazhou, and now I have no errand in Chongqing." ”

Zhu Dashan sighed and said: "Since you don't have an errand, then do the work of the prefect in Chongqing first, go and pacify the people of Chongqing first, straighten out the current political affairs, and tell the people that my Restoration Army is the Ming Dynasty, and they can still do their own business and livelihood." ”

Peng Zhenxi saw that Zhu Dashan directly appointed himself as the prefect of Chongqing, and said with great joy: "Okay, I will definitely restore the market in Chongqing as soon as possible." Zhai Chang saw that Zhu Dashan casually gave the official position of the Chongqing prefect to Peng Zhenxi, and said angrily: "Who are you, how can you be a martial artist who can privately grant the official position of the imperial court." ”

Zhu Dashan smiled: "Aren't you an official of the Ming Dynasty?" Why don't you even know who I am, and you actually asked me for Chongqing City, why are you an official of the Ming Dynasty doing with a rat's tail on your head? Zhai Chang said: "What clothes I wear and what hair I wear is my own personal preference, and it has nothing to do with you." You actually gave and accepted the official positions of the imperial court privately, are you going to rebel? ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Which court are you talking about?" Your costume is from the Qing Dynasty, if it is an official of the Qing Dynasty, what can I do if I give it to me privately? I'm just the anti of the Qing Dynasty no matter how early I am. After speaking, Zhu Dashan saw that Zhai Chang was still quibbling, and immediately shouted: "You are a subordinate minister, a traitor and a thief." What face is alive in the world, now that my Ming Wang Shi is calling, you should tremble and lie on the ground and beg for your life, where is your part of talking wildly here. The old thief who has no shameless heart, now sees my Ming Wang Shi entering the city, and completely forgets that you are shamelessly kneeling and licking in front of the Manchu Tartars, but pretends to be high and says, how can your parents give birth to you, a shameless villain who is mad. Then he said to his soldiers: "Drag him out, and wait a few days to be punished together, so as to correct the law of the country." ”

Zhai Chang heard that Zhu Dashan was going to kill him, and he was going to use him to correct the law of the country, so he couldn't turn over in the future. immediately scolded: "You are a small military attaché, you have no right to kill me, I am the inspector of the imperial court, you are a rebellion, you will definitely be infamous." You don't die well. ”

Peng Zhenxi saw that Zhu Dashan directly condemned Zhai Chang to death, and he was also frightened, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Zhu Dashan saw it and said: "Since you have been made the prefect of Chongqing, you are the prefect of Chongqing, as long as you do it well, I will not treat you badly." Peng Zhenxi immediately said: "Yes, yes, the lower official must do a good job as the prefect of Chongqing, and he will not disappoint the general's expectations." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Okay, you can also go on an errand and let the guards take you over." After Peng Zhenxi went out, Zhu Dashan sighed: "What's wrong with these literati? In the face of the generals of the Qing Dynasty, they were all like mice seeing cats. On the other hand, as long as you are in my Ming Dynasty, everyone is iron-clad, and even the emperor's decree can be dismissed. ”

Tan Shuanghua said idly: "Because the Ming Dynasty is the emperor and the scholars rule the world together, of course they can be iron-clad, even if the emperor kills them, the emperor is mediocre, and they leave a great name." If the emperor doesn't care about them, they are also Qingliu celebrities who give advice to the emperor, and it will be easy to be promoted in the future, no matter how you calculate it, you won't suffer, of course they can be iron-clad. ”

At this moment, Yuan Zongdi, Hao Yongzhong and others all came to the mansion, and Yuan Zongdi said: "Refreshing, I haven't fought such a refreshing battle for a long time, it's really enjoyable to kill those Qing soldiers." Zhu Dashan said curiously: "Jingguo Gong, you went to the South Gate, could it be that all the Qing soldiers in the city went to the South Gate?" ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "How can it, after I went to the south gate, I found that there was no Qing soldier, and I directly led the army to attack the south gate, and as a result, the south gate was defended by dozens of Qing soldiers, and when I saw my army coming, I ran away directly, I took the army into the city, and then I happened to meet Liang Yixun and others who escaped, and I was chased directly to the east gate, I cut all the way, and killed at least more than 1,000 Qing soldiers. It's refreshing. ”

Hao Yongzhong also said: "You are also a second tiger, I haven't seen you as majestic as you are today for so many years, do you still look like a national prince?" Directly on the shirtless, as if someone grabbed the Qing soldiers with you. Yuan Zongdi also smiled: "Your old Hao didn't care about your image just now, I seem to have seen someone in order to chase and kill the Qing soldiers, disgusted that the armor on his body was too heavy, and asked the guards to help him take off the armor." ”

When Hao Yongzhong heard Yuan Zongdi say this, he also knew that what he had just done was seen by someone. said: "This is also a special situation, and it is also for Daming, my old Hao has no others, and he still has the strength." After saying that, he laughed out loud.

Then He Zhen also walked in and said, "Look at the two of you, there is still a general there." Patronize and kill, and the captives are not taken into custody, and I have to show you the captives. Hearing He Zhen's words, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yongzhong both laughed and said: "After Qi Hou is broken for us, we can rest assured that we will rush to kill." What do you think? How many captives did Qihou take? ”

Zhu Dashan said: "Now that we have laid down Chongqing City, most of the troops have withdrawn and assembled outside the city, and only the Jingyu guards are left to defend in the city. Tomorrow the captives will be reorganized, and now that we have the ship of the Chongqing Sailor, we will also build our own Sailor. I think for the time being, let Li Youshi of Dingyuwei take it first. ”

Hao Yongzhong said: "Li Youshi doesn't know how to fight, will he make a mistake if he is allowed to take it?" Hao Yongzhong really didn't want to hand over this person, because if he handed over Li Youshi again, he would no longer have his direct subordinates in his hands. In this way, He Zhen, Yuan Zongdi and his Hao Yongzhong, the three guards, have been completely dispersed by Zhu Dashan under the inadvertent operation of these several army expansions and surrenders. If Li Youshi is transferred again, then all his generals will become the generals arranged by Zhu Dashan.

Zhu Dashan said: "Let him take it first, there is no one in the Restoration Army who knows how to fight in the water." Hao Yongzhong saw that Zhu Dashan insisted, so he had no choice but to say: "That's okay, let him take it first." Zhu Dashan said: "Hurry up and let the soldiers rest." ”

He Zhen said: "Ping Yuhou still wants to send troops? I think let's let our soldiers rest for a while, although there have been intermittent rests these days, but generally speaking, it is still a big battle. Zhu Dashan said: "I also want everyone to rest, but now we don't have time, I just now knew from those officials who surrendered." When we were still in Bishan, Liang Jiaqi gave a recital to the Qing court. Let the Qing court send troops to attack us, and also send letters to Wu Sangui and others who are in Yunnan. If we can't clean up all the Qing troops in Sichuan in a short period of time, we will soon be attacked from three sides. ”

Yuan Zongdi said: "But our current strength is not the master, although we already have fourteen guards and horses, more than 80,000 people, and now there are thousands of sailors and thousands of prisoners in Chongqing, a total of nearly 100,000 people." However, the south was pinned down by Du Xue and others, and Qinglinkou was blocked by Zuo Xun and Ma Huabao, and now they are still attacking Qinglinkou. In the north, Guangyuan and other places should guard against the invasion of Qing soldiers in Hanzhong. There are still two guards in Kuidong to defend it, and the only ones we can use are the four guards in Chongqing and the three guards in Bishan, with a total of less than 50,000 people. ”

Zhu Dashan said: "So I asked Tan Xin to return to Baoning to let the wounded soldiers form a regiment for training, so that we can mobilize all the local garrisons." Now is not the time to talk about this, we have now laid down Chongqing, while the news has not yet spread. We must quickly capture Sichuan and capture all important passes. ”

As he spoke, he asked a few people to come to the map in front of him, and said: "I am going to let the conquest guard cross the river from Ba County to the boat of the sailor, and then go south along the Qijiang River, attack Banzhou, and wait for the opportunity to capture Loushan Pass. Zhu Dashan thought for a while and said: "It would be best if we could capture Zunyi, but I estimate that the Qing army must stay in Zunyi with heavy troops, but at least capture Loushan Pass, and then set up a defense there." ”

He Zhen said: "Now the Qing army in various places has not reacted, and it is estimated that it is very likely to capture Loushan Pass, and Zunyi is a little difficult." ”

This is Tan Shuanghua, who was standing in the back, and said: "Why don't you just pass down the text and let all places return to the Ming anyway?" Everyone was stunned, and Yuan Zongdi said: "Yes, in this way, I estimate that many officials will respond to us, after all, the Qing soldiers have just captured all parts of Sichuan, which is very helpful to us." ”

Zhu Dashan said: "The text is easy to write, but in whose name do we use to issue it?" And by whom? "Of course, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Yongzhong want to find out the inside story here, if Zhu Dashan is allowed to issue this document, then there will be no way out of the problem of Zhu Dashan's clan in the future, Zhu Dashan is the real clan, the descendant of King Xiang.

Tan Shuanghua said: "I don't know what you guys are still hesitating about? If you don't capture Sichuan as soon as possible at this time, how can you defend it when the Qing army reacts? Do you hold on? Although He Zhen very much agreed that Zhu Dashan was sending the message, but now he stopped talking.

In the end, Yuan Zongdi said: "I think it will be up to Zhu Youdong to initiate the text, and issue it in the name of the Wen Inspector, calling on officials and generals from all over Sichuan to return to the Ming anyway." Yuan Zongdi specifically said that it was "Ping Yu Hou Zhu Youdong". It shows that he is going to tie up with Zhu Dashan on a rope, because he knows that Zhu Dashan's real name is not Zhu Youdong, and the identity of the clan is full of doubts.

Hao Yongzhong saw that Yuan Zongdi had already expressed his position, so he said: "Yes, I agree with it." Seeing this, He Zhen smiled and said, "Since you all agree, I don't have any opinions." ”

Zhu Dashan said loudly: "Okay, since this is the case, this document will be issued by me, Zhu Youdong, and I will be Zhu Youdong from now on." Tan Shuanghua was surprised: "Aren't you originally called Zhu Youdong?" How do you call it from today? You've got a problem with your head. Yuan Zongdi and the others listened to Zhu Dashan and said, "Yes, it's Zhu Youdong." ”
