By the time the main armor soldiers entered the city, the southern city had largely quieted down.

But cries were also heard from time to time.

Stepping on the foot~~ The pace that is neither hurried nor slow is like a wave, although it is not sensational, but it is extremely stable in the secret room.

"Shut up Lao Tzu, and then cry and kill you."

Woo~~ The scolding from outside the door also made the woman dare not cry again.

In order to quickly clear the defeated army, most of the 300,000 Han troops were dispatched, and even the marine division began to enter the city.

"It's useless rubbish!" Zhou Li followed the war bull to charge, but when he arrived at the north gate, there was no enemy!

After being washed by the war cattle and heavy cavalry, tens of thousands of Qing soldiers and thousands of Tartars died, and the remaining 100,000 people hid in various yafu or private houses. As for the two large barracks, they are now empty!

"Report to the commander, the heavy cavalry has taken control of the streets and alleys, and the war cattle have begun to leave the city."

Chen Nan nodded, he still remembered the cry just now.

"Order to search the houses immediately, and be aware that the casualties are in front of the musketeers, and the cavalry is ready to support at any time."

"Yes, Commander." As soon as Chen Nan finished speaking, several silver staff officers also immediately rode away.

Except for 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 firearms soldiers surrounding the palace, the rest of the men and horses began to check the houses in the city.

Most of the houses in Xiangyang City have been emptied, which also happens to be the hiding place of the Qing soldiers.

Countless torches were lit, and dozens of people in a team or a team of ten people began to enter the house to investigate.

The door is not locked, and it is estimated that the Qing soldiers have not come to close the door urgently, or they have been kicked by the Qing soldiers and cannot close it again.

"Listen to the soldiers of the Green Battalion Recruit Guard inside, it is a capital crime to help the Tartars, and it is a felony to help the old thieves! Those who don't want to die immediately come out and surrender. ”

The squadron leader's shout came, but none of the Qing soldiers inside dared to make a sound, but the green battalion soldiers also began to leave the old battalion soldiers beside them. The moonlight is faint and unreal, but just by looking at the figure, they can tell whether it is a familiar person or not.

Seeing that everyone was deliberately leaving his side, the old thief immediately became furious: "What do you mean, damn it? ”

After speaking, he raised the knife, and at the same time, the three old thieves quickly approached.

At this time, there was a shout from the Han army outside the door: "The innocent new soldiers can be acquitted, and the old thieves will be imprisoned and examined, and no Tartar will be left." If you don't come out again, you will be punished as an old thief. ”

"Acquittal, that's great!" An old guard oiler couldn't help but laugh.

"Hehe, it's good that we're not old thieves." There are even more green battalion recruits who can't help but steal fun.

The Green Battalion soldiers couldn't help but laugh darkly, and even spoke louder and louder.

"Shut up the damn thing." The old thief finally couldn't help but curse.

Stomp on the foot~~ The armored man carried the sword and shield in front, and the torch behind him held the torch high to illuminate. Behind them, the pikemen and musketeers were also on guard, following the armor soldiers step by step.

Hearing the intimate voice in the room, the squadron leader immediately shouted: "The armor sergeant squats down, and the musketeer is ready to shoot." ”

"Honorable Order." Dozens of people immediately shouted for orders.

Ah~this~ I'm going to shoot! Now even the old thief panicked.

"Your grandfather counts three more times, and if he doesn't come out and surrender, he will be robbed and killed." The squadron leader immediately gave the final warning.

"One~"

As soon as he counted to one, the traitor in the room was immediately afraid.

"Don't fire, don't fire, we surrender."

"We surrender, and the brethren take down a few old thieves."

"Okay, kill them." Under the pressure of the firecracker, the Qing soldiers finally braved once.

Seeing that the recruits of the green battalion were about to make a move, the three old thieves were also afraid.

"We surrender, we surrender!" After saying that, the old thief immediately threw down his knife and ran to the door.

The old thief was the first to surrender, and the Qing soldiers in a room naturally hurried out to surrender.

Bang Bang Bang~~ At this time, there was a sudden sound of fire guns nearby, and the frightened Qing soldiers hurriedly squatted down.

"Hey, I'm fine! Not us. Seeing that everyone was fine, Qingbing was also relieved.

Then they heard the Jurchens scolding and screaming, and now they understood.

In a room that was set on fire, a shout suddenly came out: "Uncle Han Jun~ Don't fire, the Tartar is dead, don't fire." ”

"Spare your life, don't fight anymore~" After two rounds of shooting, there were more than a dozen people in a room, and only four people survived.

In a room where no one is around, they can still use firearms, but in a house where Han people live, the Han army can only use shields and armor to fight hand-to-hand with the old Tartar thieves.

The game of hide-and-seek for hundreds of thousands of people did not end until dawn.

After the city is cleared, it will be about the Tartar Palace.

Under the incessant bombardment of the field artillery, Zilharan and most of the Tartars were killed in the artillery fire. The entire elegant palace was finally destroyed by explosives and fire oil.

With the destruction of the palace, the battle of Xiangyang ended completely. However, the entire Xiangyang City was almost destroyed, many houses in the city were destroyed, and tens of thousands of city residents were implicated and injured, but fortunately, few died.

At the end of the war, the casualties were very small, and Chen Nan was much more relieved. There were almost no firecrackers in Xiangyang, and there were not many hardcore traitors, so that the Han army did not have many casualties.

"Now, the world is basically recovered!" The night was tired, but Chen Chang was extremely relieved.

They fled back to Lingnan from Liaodong and recovered the world in only four years. Although there are still frontier areas in the northeast, northwest and northwest, the main territory of the Han people has been recovered.

The two corners of northwest Liaodong can also be recovered at any time. After the main force of the Jurchen Mongols was destroyed, there was no strong enemy in the northwest and northeast that could stop the Han army.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, not only subduing Mongolia and Liaodong, but also the tribes in the northwest have been subdued and weakened by the Ming army. After the plateau cavalry broke away from the Mongols, the Tibetan king also sent troops to occupy the northwest, but after the Ming army advanced westward, they were beaten and could only submit to tribute.

Yangzhou.

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March, and thousands of sailing ships are endless.

After the victory of the decisive battle of Xuzhou, Yangzhou also quickly regained its prosperity. Talented and beautiful women boated on the lake, and the merchants and squires bought houses and opened shops, and they no longer had to worry about the Qing army going south.

Shi Luokun in the carriage looked unhappy, and as soon as he had fun, his father asked him to go home immediately.

He became a young man in the Yangtze River, everyone respected him in Nanjing and Yangzhou, and no one dared to offend him.

Shi Kefa was also excited, so he couldn't help but ask this little son to come back and share.

"Father!" As soon as he returned home, Shi Luokun immediately changed his elegant appearance.

It smelled of wine again, and Shi Kefa couldn't help frowning! However, his two sons are also good enough to become the head of a house, so he doesn't require children to be more motivated.

He was once young, and he also missed the ups and downs of his youth, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. If it weren't for the chaos in the world, he wouldn't have come to this point!

"Sit down! As a father, he went north in two days to take charge of the northern states of the old Beijing Division. Is Luo Kun going north or staying? ”

Shi Luokun was taken aback: "Father, is the war over?" ”

Shi Kefa said with a smile: "After the decisive battle of Xuzhou, the Manchu Qing began to withdraw to Liaodong. Now Xiangyang has also been breached, except for the northwest and Liaodong, the world is determined! ”

"This! So fast! "Slokun is excited and depressed! The world is finally stable, but when my father leaves Yangzhou, I'm afraid he will change!

Knowing the child's thoughts, Shi Kefa couldn't help but sigh: "Luo Kun, you are not young, at least you have to buy a family business!" Give your father a million taels to run a family business, and your success or failure will depend on you in the future! ”

Zou Niao will eventually fight in the sky, and he can't shelter the child for a lifetime!

A million taels? Slokun smiled bitterly! Is it father?

"Humph! Watch your demeanor! This million taels is the Lord's reward! When he stepped down as the governor of Nanyang, the empire's bonus was enough to be 500,000 taels, and there were also a lot of silver taels at the end of the year, and there must be a large bonus at the end of the year. "Although he doesn't like to collect money, it is a reward from the empire, and he is unusually relieved to take it.

I see! Shi Luokun suddenly couldn't help but want to be an official! "Father, are you so rich now as an official? I thought our historian was even poorer! ”

The law of the empire is very strict, petty theft does not matter, once the line is crossed: the bones have to be spit out, and they have to accompany their own old bottom.

Shi Kefa shook his head and said nothing, he couldn't leak out a few gold and silver mines in Nanyang casually. If the reserves of several huge gold and silver mines are revealed, I am afraid that the value of silver will also depreciate!

Fortunately, the industry is starting, and the industrial items are becoming more and more abundant, and the Han army consumes a lot of materials and silver.
