Zunyi fell, and Sichuan shook.

After that, the extravagant general Zhang Tong's territorial army continued to march eastward and besieged Xingwen County, and Zhang Zhende, the magistrate of the county, recruited the people to fight the thief army in person.

The thieves in the city were noisy, Zhang Zhende was not afraid, looked at the thief envoy who came to persuade him to surrender, and scolded:

"Go back and tell Zhang Tong that I only have the decapitated magistrate in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no magistrate who surrendered to the chieftain!"

"Extravagant Chongming, he actually wants to go against the court and divide one side?"

"He's a three-year-old, isn't he? It's ridiculous to have such an idea! ”

After that, Zhang Zhende gave an order, the Ming army at the head of the city fired arrows together, the artillery roared, the messenger was killed on the spot, and the rest of the Tusi army ran away with their heads and retreated for several miles.

"I don't know what to do!" When Zhang Tong heard the news, he stepped out of the camp and said, "Pass my order, attack in an all-round way, besiege the city on all sides, and see how long he can last!" ”

"Reinforcements?"

"Hehe, he can't wait for reinforcements!"

Therefore, the Tusi army once again cleaned up, divided the troops into four gates, carried the simple made ladders, pushed the giant wood to rush the cart, and attacked the city mightily.

Zhixian Zhang Zhende and the city of thousands of people surrendered, and the Tusi army fought fiercely for half a day, because the number was too small, the east gate was the first to be broken by the Tusi army.

The Tusi soldiers frantically poured into the city, and then began a shocking plunder.

Looking at the fire-filled city, seeing those Tusi soldiers chasing the people and slashing them, Zhang Zhende burst into tears, bowed in the direction of Jingshi from afar, and cried:

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister is guilty of capital crime..."

Before the words landed, the title of the book, Tusi Bing, had already opened his bloody mouth wantonly, brandishing swords and guns and rushing towards the city.

Several Ming troops went to resist and fought with more than a dozen Tusi soldiers.

Zhang Zhende and his wife retreated under the protection of the remnants of the Ming army and came to the drum tower, but it didn't take long for countless Tusi soldiers to besiege them.

Zhang Tong's brother Zhang Xian led the Tusi soldiers into the drum tower, and looked at the disgraced appearance of several Ming soldiers and Zhang Zhende, the magistrate of the county, and they all laughed wildly.

But the next time, their faces turned terrified.

But it was a few Ming soldiers who closed the drum tower, turned around and killed it, and bought time for the inside. Zhang Zhende and his wife held torches, and the ground was full of oil and firewood.

"Your Majesty, the whole family of the guilty ministers, atone for the sin of losing the city!"

In an instant, Zhang Xian seemed to understand something.

"Cut them, cut them!!"

In Zhang Xian's almost desperate roar, Zhang Zhende and his wife threw down their torches, set themselves on fire, and burned to death more than 20 Tusi soldiers along the way.

Not long after, Zhang Tong looked at the pair of charred bones under his feet with a black face, and still couldn't believe that this was his younger brother.

He stepped forward and creaked, not knowing whose bone he had broken.

Zhang Tong clenched his teeth, punched the pillar of Heijiao, turned around and shouted:

"Go to Hezhou!"

"I want them to bury my brother!!"

......

Xingwen County was broken, all the defenders were killed, Zhang Zhende, the magistrate of the county, and his wife set themselves on fire, and the Tusi army continued to the east.

Hezhou City, Zhizhou Weng Dengyan looked at the Tusi soldiers rushing under the city,

However, at this time, Weng Dengyan was full of sneers on his face, and he did not have the slightest fear, because he had just received the news that the emperor had personally recruited.

This news is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the whole of Sichuan.

Everyone who heard the news was overjoyed, as if the dense rebels under the city were no longer terrible, because they all knew that the rebels would die sooner or later!

The Ming Emperor's personal expedition to the southwest shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to the situation in the southwest, and it is an attitude of not giving up an inch of land.

At this time, the eyes of the entire empire were all focused on the southwest region.

Knowing that the emperor drove the expedition in person, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city of Hezhou were all encouraged, and the Tusi army, which had won successive battles all the way, actually touched a nail here.

Zhizhou Weng Dengyan was well-planned, a civil official, but he carried a sword to supervise the battle, ran on various city walls, and repelled the Tusi army's attacks again and again.

At this time, the Tusi army, which had suffered heavy losses, was no longer able to besiege Hezhou City, and then Zhang Tong asked Chongqing for help.

Luxury Chongming naturally knew that the eastern front needed to open up the situation quickly, and the ultimate goal of Zhang Tong's eastern road was not Hezhou, but Chengdu, an important town in Sichuan.

As long as Chengdu is taken, it will be able to join Guizhou Anbangyan, and at that time, Shuixi will respond to the rebellion in Guizhou, and the general trend will be achieved.

Yu Chongming did not hesitate, and directly increased his troops by 70,000 in the direction of Hezhou.

By the beginning of July of the first year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Tong had gathered reinforcements from Chongqing, concentrated superior forces, and continued to storm Hezhou City.

Since the beginning of the army, Yu Chongming has been divided into the eastern and western fronts, and the focus is on the siege of Chongqing.

Zhang Tong on the eastern front, the strategic purpose is to capture Chengdu as quickly as possible and get in touch with the Shuixian family.

Once An Bangyan responded, the Sichuan rebellion would spread to Guizhou, Huguang, and even the provinces of Nanzhili.

On the western front, it was to delay the reinforcements from the four provinces mobilized by Lu Qin, and to win time for the main army of luxury Chongming on the middle road to conquer Chongqing.

As long as Chongqing is captured, Yu Chongming will be able to turn his guns and meet Lu Qin's imperial reinforcements.

The speed and breadth of the rebellion made it difficult to believe that he was a sudden attack rather than a premeditated one.

Although the city of Chongqing has not yet fallen, the Tusi army has conquered the city all the way, Zhang Tong on the eastern front, and Luyin on the western front, all of which have been conquering the city one after another.

Especially Zhang Tong, after more than a month of hard work, he has begun to besiege Hezhou, an outpost of Chengdu.

Hezhou fell, and the next thing is the degree.

Luxury Chongming was not idle outside Chongqing, he divided his troops into several routes, and successively captured Naxi, Changning, Chaixian, Bishan and other places.

These places, since the beginning of Wanli, have been requisitioned and stationed in the Ming army to aid Liao year by year, although there are many guards, but they are extremely empty, and they are completely unable to resist the offensive of the Tusi army.

Things are developing in exactly the expected direction, and Yu Chongming sees that he occupies almost two-thirds of the whole province of Sichuan, and he is also a little flustered.

On July 7, Hao Chongming proclaimed himself the king of Daliang, established the country, imitated the Ming system, and set up official offices such as the prime minister and the governor's office of the five armies.

After being called the queen, Yu Chongming immediately sent an envoy to throw an olive branch to the Tusi of the southwestern provinces, especially the heavy money to take care of the Shizhu Xuanwei Division.

Since the beginning of the army, the Ming army has been empty, and the Tusi army has almost no opponents in Sichuan.

In the eastern Sichuan area, tens of thousands of rebels and Qin Liangyu organized several battles with Tusi, who were loyal to the imperial court, and in the face of the white pole army, they were almost crushed at the touch of a button.

Then, Yu Chongming came up with the idea of recruiting Qin Liangyu to surrender, sent a heavy amount of money to the stone pillar, and promised to seize the world and seal the territory as a reward.

"King Daliang is willing to conspire with the Shizhu Qin family to conspire with the world!"

Qin Liangyu sat upright on the seat, and on the table was the Great Seal of the Xuanwei Division issued by the imperial court, and he sneered when he heard that Yu Chongming sent an envoy to conspire with him in the world.

In front of the Tusi of the final imperial court, Qin Liangyu once again unswervingly expressed his loyalty to the Ming court, beheaded the silver, and vowed to fight the rebels to the death.

Within a few days, the embarrassed and angry Xuan Chongming led a large army to attack.

The Shizhu Xuanwei Division gathered all the Tusi and fought fiercely with the rebels on the plains, winning and losing each other, and at this time, a wire report came from the Western Front.

It is said that the reinforcements of the four provinces of Lu Qin, the governor of the southwest, two of them have entered the territory of Sichuan, and the first battle defeated the rebels of Haoyin's western route.
