Chapter 399: Double Happiness Comes to the Door
Li Dingguo rode a tall horse into Jianchang City.
The battle in the city was nearing its end, and some of Feng Shuangli's descendants were guarding Feng Shuangli and retreating, but most of the defenders had surrendered.
For them, there is no essential difference between working for Feng Shuangli and Li Dingguo.
Saving their lives is the first thing they have to think about.
People have to bow their heads when they should be bowed, let alone these big-headed soldiers.
The reason why the commanders of the officers are fighting is because they are profitable, and what the big head soldiers want is not just a mouthful of food.
If the guy who eats can't keep anything, it's not in vain.
And look at Li Dingguo, he is more generous, maybe he can really make some career.
As for whether he can change the dynasty and sit in the Dragon Court in the future, that is another matter.
Jianchang is an important military town, and the soldiers in the city are basically their families. Other than that, there are very few merchants.
After Li Dingguo entered Jianchang, he immediately ordered his soldiers to take over the city defense and try to restrain military discipline.
In his opinion, as long as the low-level soldiers don't resist, it doesn't matter if Feng Shuangli jumps and tosses again.
Stabilizing and sweeping away the remnants is the top priority.
As for Feng Shuangli, he was embarrassed.
Escorted by a group of his own soldiers, he fled to the City God Temple in the city. Strictly speaking, this place is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, even the Jianchang city wall can be destroyed, and the temple wall of the City God Temple is naturally nothing.
Feng Shuangli knew that he was already invincible, but he was still resisting.
He thought that even if he was defeated, he would kill a few more of Li Dingguo's subordinates and pull some backs.
People are able to burst out with amazing energy when they resist desperately.
Feng Shuangli's personal soldiers all knew that it would be difficult to escape this time, so they all showed great enthusiasm and wanted to pull some people to accompany the funeral.
Although Li Dingguo's men had an absolute advantage, there were also more or less casualties.
Seeing this, Li Dingguo did not intend to continue to sacrifice the lives of his soldiers, so he ordered the Chenghuang Temple to be surrounded, and then poured tung oil into it, and then threw the torch in.
Feng Shuangli and the others were trapped in the City God Temple, and they couldn't rush out, so they could only wait for death.
The fire burned for a full hour before it stopped.
Before the smoke cleared, Li Dingguo ordered the soldiers to rush in to inspect to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
But it turned out that he was overthinking.
After a fire, charred corpses were everywhere.
The corpses were so charred that it was impossible to distinguish their faces.
However, Li Dingguo still judged who Feng Shuangli was through his armor.
When the man died, his body curled up and his back was like a shrimp.
Although Feng Shuangli's face was already a ball of black charcoal, Li Dingguo still pulled out his knife and unsheathed his head to cut off his head.
Feng Shuangli's death marked the end of the battle.
Li Dingguo ordered his own soldiers to send Feng Shuangli's head to the city tower to be hung for public display, and also let the people of the city know that he Li Dingguo had won the victory and regained control of Jianchang.
Compared with Jianchang City itself, the nearby farmland is what Li Dingguo is more concerned about.
After this battle, he was ready to resume production immediately, and ordered the soldiers to actively reclaim.
Jianchang's land is more than enough to support tens of thousands of people, and even if it is to support 100,000 people, it will not be difficult.
But more is not enough, and we can only expand in the direction of Yunnan.
What made Li Dingguo feel gratified was that the Ming army's control over the generation at the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan was not too strong, and if he managed it carefully, there was still an opportunity.
But it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Whether this matter can succeed depends on chance.
......
......
Zhu Cihong has been in a good mood recently.
Not long ago, he received an urgent performance from Wen Anzhi from Sichuan. The army under his command defeated the Qing army led by Hong Chengchou and Boluo in the Battle of Chengdu. And Li Dingguo, knowing that he could not be the enemy, also fled to the south as soon as possible.
Chengdu is the center of the southwest, and the significance of recovering Chengdu is huge.
So far, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan have become one and are horns of each other, and they can support each other.
Even if the Manchus wanted to go south, it would be difficult.
According to Wen Anzhi, the Qing army suffered heavy losses this time, and many high-ranking generals were killed.
Among them are Bolo, Shuozhan and others.
Wen Anzhi judged from the armor of these people's corpses. Because their heads have been cut off and taken away by Li Dingguo first.
However, Wen Anzhi sent people to search all over but still did not find Hong Chengchou's body, which proves that Hong Chengchou has probably fled.
This has to be said to be a big pity. You must know that Hong Chengchou can be said to be one of Dorgon's most relied on advisers.
The most important thing is that this person can not only give advice, but also personally lead the troops into battle. Putting aside his inferior character, he can be described as a character who is both civil and military.
If Hong Chengchou escapes back to Shaanxi, it can be said that there will be endless troubles after letting the tiger return to the mountain.
However, everything cannot be perfect, at least in Zhu Cihong's opinion, this result is already quite impressive.
As long as the Ming army firmly ruled in Sichuan, it would not take long to raise the army to be strong and strong, and it was not impossible for the Northern Expedition to attack Hanzhong.
Although the Qing army's military campaign in Sichuan failed, their rule in Shaanxi was still very solid.
If the Ming army wants to do something to seize Shaanxi, Hanzhong is a must-take place.
Zhu Cihong secretly clenched his fists, Hanzhong, the next step is to decide that it is you.
Just when Zhu Cihong was full of ambition, Liu Chuanzong rushed to the Qianqing Palace full of joy.
As soon as he entered the warm pavilion, he fell to the ground, and kowtowed to Zhu Cihong and said: "Slave and maid, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." ”
Zhu Cihong was in a good mood, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Oh? What a joy? ”
"Emperor, it's news from Shandong, the Denglai Navy Division has broken the Japanese and captured a lot of warships."
Well?
That's good news.
Although Zhu Cihong has been fully supporting the shipbuilding of Longjiang Shipyard, its manufacturing capacity is limited after all, and today's Denglai Sailor is only more than 100 large ships and hundreds of small boats.
Such a number is a bit shabby compared to Zheng Zhilong's sailors.
If the imperial court really sent troops to Fujian to fight against Zheng Zhilong in the future, these ships alone would not be enough.
It is definitely not as fast as robbing, and robbing the Japanese is even more open.
"How many ships have been captured?"
"There are more than 100 ships in total, and many of them are similar to large ships of the Guangzhou Ship."
Liu Chuanzong was anxious to make contributions, and said with a harmonious smile: "I heard that I found an island where the Japanese are entrenched. The Japanese used the island as a private port for trade and supplies. Denglai Sailor suddenly killed them without any preparation, and was killed by a falling flower, throwing away their armor. ”
Liu Chuanzong smiled and said word by word: "In addition to these warships, a lot of swords and silver were also captured. This is really an unprecedented victory in the Battle of Huangming. ”
