As soon as Zhou Minxin led people to fight with the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion who attacked the city wall, he heard that there was also a commotion in the city. Zhou Minxin saw that the Ming army had entered the city, and knew that he couldn't hold it, so he turned around and took this person to leave. But at this moment, the city gate could not withstand the impact and was knocked open. When the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion under the city saw that the city gate had been knocked open, they rushed into the city. Zhou Minxin only left a hundred people at the city gate, and the people in the city had no intention of defending the city, and now the city gate was knocked open, and when they saw the soldiers of the Fuming battalion entering the city, they fled to the city.

Now the ranks of the defenders were also disorganized. Zhou Minxin walked up and down the city at this time, and just happened to meet the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion who rushed into the city, and immediately fought together again.

Zhu Dashan saw that the city gate was opened, and rushed to the city with his guards. The others were even more desperate when they saw the main general rushing in, and the defenders could no longer hold on and fled. Yanting Zhixian was frightened and hid in the city tower and did not dare to come out, Zhou Minxin came down from the city and fled directly out of the city, he was a guest soldier and did not have to be responsible for losing the city, but as soon as he got off the city wall, he collided with the soldiers of the Fuming battalion. Now he can't leave, so he has to fight with the Restoration Camp again, but he still retreats to the city while fighting with his people, and after a while, he throws off the people from the Restoration Camp and runs away, and the people from the Restoration Camp are now chasing in all directions when they enter the city, and they don't care about him for a while.

After Zhu Dashan entered the city, Zhou Minxin had already run away and couldn't see anyone, and Zhu Dashan didn't know that there were generals who ran away. Zhu Dashan saw that the defenders had no heart to resist now, so he ordered him to surrender and not kill. For a time, there were shouts everywhere in the city to surrender and not kill. Most of the defenders in the city also surrendered, and there were a few stubborn resistances, and they were quickly cut down by the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion.

After Zhou Minxin escaped from the pursuit of the Fuming battalion, he did not dare to stop and turn to the north gate, but found that the north gate had been opened, and the defenders who were guarding here had already fled. Zhou Minxin also hurried out of the city and went to Mianzhou.

Zhu Dashan was just arranging people to stabilize the situation in the city and appease the people. Let people shout along the street and say: "The king of the Ming Dynasty has entered the city, the people should not worry, and the shops of all merchants are open as usual." The soldiers of the Restoration Camp shouted for a long time, but no one was willing to go out. Zhu Dashan knew that the people would not come out for a while, but it would be good to take a long time. After all, Sichuan has been slaughtered many times by Qing soldiers.

At this time, the soldiers escorted Tao Yuanyou, the magistrate of Yanting County, Zhu Dashan also wanted to see this majestic and loyal magistrate in the city, who knew that Tao Yuanyou was escorted to Zhu Dashan by the soldiers of the Restoration Camp, and before Zhu Dashan could ask, he knelt down in front of Zhu Dashan and cried: "General! The students finally saw the master of the Ming Dynasty, and when they saw the changes in the Great Tomorrow, the students were all burned. It is very impossible to follow the first emperor underground, and live in the world with a cheeky face. Before the three souls of the students returned, the seven spirits reflexed, and the Manchu Tartars stole Shenjing. The students are even more frightened, seeing that the world is born, reduced to Yidi, the mountains and rivers are broken, the old country is sinking, the students are better than death, and they are always looking forward to Wang Shi to restore my China and return my rivers and mountains. Now I finally got my wish, and the sky has eyes! ”

Tao Yuanyou's crying made everyone in the Restoration Camp present bitter and inexplicable, is this still an hour ago in the city and scolded the Restoration Camp for being a thief in the Qing Dynasty Yanting County County Commander Tao Yuanyou? After Yu Dai entered the city, he looked at the wounded people and dead corpses all over the ground, his face was originally white, but now after listening to Tao Yuanyou's cry, his face turned red in an instant. His eyes were full of incredulity and looked at Tao Yuanyou, how could this person be so shameless, thinking about the play he had thought of before, "Yu Daiyizheng's words and scolding the dead minister Tao Yuanyou", he felt extremely ashamed, and determined that whoever would dare to mention this in the future would be inseparable from him.

Zhu Dashan looked at Tao Yuanyou, who looked sad in front of him, but he lost the hatred before the siege. Originally, before the siege, he saw Tao Yuanyou's dedication to defending the city for the Qing court and preparing to die with the city, and the hated Zhu Dashan decided to kill Tao Yuanyou after breaking the city.

But now looking at Tao Yuanyou, he no longer has the intention to kill, but just said coldly: "Tao Zhixian was on the city wall before, but he scolded us for being rebellious and rebellious, why did he become the master of the Ming Dynasty at this time?" Didn't you Zhiqiang want to defend the city for the Qing Dynasty and live and die with the city? ”

Tao Yuanyou immediately cried: "That's what Zhou Minxin forced me to say with a knife!" I want to return to Daming! The Tartars killed my people and enslaved my Han people, Tao always saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, and he only hated himself for being a scholar and couldn't lift a knife to kill the Tartars. Zhu Dashan frowned and said, "Who is Zhou Minxin?" Tao Yuanyou said: "It is the general who defended the city before"

Zhu Dashan asked, "What about others?" How could the Salt Pavilion be garrisoned? Before, there were no garrisons in the south, Zitong, Cangxi and other places. Tao Yuanyou heard Zhu Dashan's words to knock down the counties of Baoning, so he asked cautiously: "The general said that the Ming Dynasty has recovered the south, Cangxi and other counties" The guards next to him saw Tao Yuanyou disbelieving and said loudly: "Of course, our Hou Ye has not only recovered these counties, but also gone to Jianzhou, and Baoning, and is sending troops to capture Yilong, Bazhou and Nanjiang." Tao Yuanyou exclaimed: "My God, isn't that the entire Baoning Mansion already recovered. Hou Ye, I don't know which Hou Ye the general is. ”

The guard was about to say more when Zhu Dashan interrupted: "You haven't said why Zhou Minxin and him want to garrison Yanting, why don't you talk quickly, do you still have to wait for my knife?" Tao Yuanyou hurriedly said: "No knife, no knife, Zhou Minxin seems to have run away, Mianzhou lives this officer and soldier, Yanting is where the grain road is, and the general soldier Ma Huabao sent Zhou Minxin to be stationed in Yanting in order to protect the grain road." ”

Zhu Dashan was relieved when he heard that he didn't get the news of himself, and then sent someone to station in Yanting, when someone came to report that the general who had commanded the defense in the city had run away from the north gate. Zhu Dashan was not surprised when he heard this, as long as the defenders had to run, such a siege battle could not be avoided without absolute troops, Zhu Dashan just asked the soldiers of the Fuming battalion not to disturb the people in the city, and seeing that he couldn't hurry today, he let the army camp and rest first.

After a night of silence, early the next morning, Zhu Dashan left the county government and was about to go to the barracks, just out of the gate of the county ya, he saw Tao Yuanyou already waiting at the door, Zhu Dashan looked at it and ignored him, so he just went to the barracks. Who knew that he had just gone out less than three hundred meters, and suddenly rushed out of a kid, looking only fifteen years old, the kid suddenly threw himself in front of Zhu Dashan and shouted: "General, save me, save me." ”

Zhu Dashan saw that there were two more people in the distance who wanted to rush over, but looking at the knives in the hands of the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion, he hesitated and didn't dare to come, Zhu Dashan first helped up the kid who rushed over, and then asked the guards to bring the two over, the two should be husband and wife. All the way over, he kept looking at the knives of the soldiers of the Restoration Camp, as if this knife would cut at them at any time. After the two of them came over, Zhu Dashan said to the kid: "What's your name, I see that there is no one chasing behind you, why do you shout for help?" ”

The kid said: "If you go back to the general, my name is Zhang Chang, the grandson of Zhang Jing." Yesterday, I saw the general playing the banner of Daming to regain Yanting, and wanted to join the army, but his family did not allow it, and he ran out just now, but he was found as soon as he left the house, and he shouted for help when he saw that the general was in a hurry. ”

Zhu Dashan was overjoyed, this is the first time since the beginning of the army that someone has volunteered to join the army, and he can't even stop his family no matter how firm he is. smiled and pointed to the two people behind him, "This is your family?" Zhang Chang nodded and said, "Yes, although they are not my parents, they are better than my parents." The two people in the back kept wiping their tears when they heard Zhang Chang say this.

Zhu Dashan said: "What about your parents? At this time, Tao Yuanyou next to him suddenly said, "What did you say?" Are you the grandson of Zhang Jing? Seeing Zhang Chang nodding and admitting, Tao Yuanyou suddenly cried and said, "I'm so unlucky!" Zhang Jing's grandson is right under my nose! Zhu Dashan was confused and said: "Who is Zhang Jing?" How did you get unlucky? ”

At this time, Zhang Chang was very strange that the Ming General didn't know his grandfather's name, and still said: "My grandfather Zhang Jing is the secretary of the military department, and he was killed by two dog thieves, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan, in Chongqing two years ago. Zhu Dashan was shocked, he had seen the Sichuan political envoy who was now going to fight Baizhang Pass with Song Gaoju since he had crossed over to the largest imperial court official position, but it was also an empty name, and the marquis of He Zhen was not worth it now. Zhu Dashan himself was also sealed as a peacekeeper, but he couldn't connect himself with the marquis. Now I suddenly heard a military department Shangshu recognized by the imperial court, and I was still very shocked, and I hurriedly said: "It turned out that after Zhongliang, your grandfather was righteous in Chongqing, how did you escape?" Your grandfather is a civil official, why do you want to join the army, if you become a civil official, I can let you go to Boryeong to learn how to govern the place. ”

The two servants of Zhang Chang's family heard that they could go to Baoning, and immediately felt that this was the best choice, and was about to agree to all Zhang Chang, but heard Zhang Chang say: "I was rescued by the servants of the family and has been hiding everywhere, yesterday I saw the general recovering the county, I wanted to join the army, my grandfather has been asking me to study before, I think my grandfather's poems and articles are all fine, although the name is the book of the military department, but there is no soldier under him, but in the end he was not killed by the Tartars," and then saw Zhang Chang clenched his hands and said: "So I want to join the army, I want to learn the way of marching and fighting, In the future, I will seek revenge on Wu Sangui and Li Guohan, two dog thieves. ”

Zhu Dashan was also infected by this kid's determination and said: "Okay, there is ambition, the Tartars killed our lover, and we will go to them for revenge." Okay, you can follow me in the future, and we'll fight Tartar together," Zhang Chang agreed loudly. Then Zhu Dashan said to Zhang Chang's two servants: "Now that Zhang Gongzi is very safe in our army, you can stay in Yanting for some time first, and if you want to go to Baoning, you can also do it." Seeing that Zhang Chang was safe now, the two didn't care. So he decided to open a few acres of landlord's house in Yanting to live, and Zhu Dashan was not reluctant.

Zhu Dashan suddenly remembered what Tao Yuanyou was calling regret just now, so he asked Tao Yuanyou: "By the way, what did Tao Zhixian say about regret just now, what do you regret?" At this time, Tao Yuanyou also felt that he was too Meng Lang just now, and now he was surrounded by soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so he said in his heart that he wanted to catch Zhang Chang and receive the reward. Now seeing Zhu Dashan asking, he hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just said that I regret not finding out that Zhang Changgongzi is loyal and good, if I had known earlier, I would never let him be so embarrassed." ”

Zhang Chang is not stupid after two years of escape: "Phew, I think you want to arrest me and go to the Tartars to receive the reward, right?" ”

Tao Yuanyou is also a shameless master, and said righteously in an instant: "Zhang Gongzi can only think like this, thinking that I, Tao Yuanyou, am dedicated to the Ming and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, how can I do the act of going to the Tartars to receive the reward after catching the Zhongliang, I am a person of the Ming Dynasty in life, and I am a ghost of the Ming Dynasty in death." Is Zhang Gongzi insulting my loyalty? ”

Looking at Tao Yuanyou's impassioned figure, it is really hard to imagine that he was so loyal to the Qing Dynasty yesterday, Zhu Dashan had no way to deal with shameless people, and they surrendered, and they surrendered very simply. Zhu Dashan really didn't have much murderous intent towards the Han people.

Zhang Chang was young after all, and when he saw Tao Yuanyou's vivid words, he actually believed it: "It seems that I misunderstood Mr., and please forgive me" Tao Yuanyou saw Zhang Chang's apology very kindly, and was about to say a few polite words, but looking at the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion who despised him next to him, he knew that if he continued to talk about it, some people would not be able to help it. He said: "It's understandable that the son misunderstood, after all, I was once committed to a thief." Speaking of this, I realized that what I said before and after was different, after all, I just finished speaking, I also felt a little blushing, but fortunately, no one noticed.

Zhu Dashan didn't care about Tao Yuanyou's shameless praise, and took Zhang Chang and the other guards to the barracks. By the time the Zhu Dashan Road military camp was waiting, the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion had already assembled and were waiting to set off. Because some generals fled yesterday, Zhu Dashan was afraid that the Qing army in Mianzhou would be ambushed on the road, so the front attendants were doubled out. Zhu Dashan also brought Tao Yuanyou to the barracks, mainly because he was not worried that this shameless person was behind his back.

With Zhu Dashan's order, the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion marched out of the city that had only been beaten for a day, and walked to the small city where Chengdu Mansion and Baoning Mansion met, Weicheng.
