On the sixteenth day of the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin rushed to Luzhou with 30,000 horses, and the officials of Luzhou City were naturally sent by Sun Chengzong from Chongqing, and they had already prepared the armaments and materials needed by the army, so Sun Chengzong rested for two days after replenishing the supplies in Luzhou, let the tired soldiers rest a little, and then went straight to Neijiang and Ziyang.

After crossing the Neijiang River and entering the hilly area, it was much easier for the people and horses to walk, and finally arrived in Ziyang at the end of the first month. Ziyang City is a key defense point of Luxury Chongming, because further forward is Chengdu, in order to ensure that the siege of Chengdu is not disturbed, Luxury Chongming hoarded 50,000 horses here. In history, due to the imperial court from all over Sichuan, resulting in defense loopholes everywhere, luxury Chongming with native soldiers is also everywhere to attack, plus An Bangyan echoed in Guizhou, so although the imperial court has achieved many small victories, but they are all defeated, and there are not many people who really encircle and annihilate, until the second year of Chongzhen, Zhu Xieyuan realized this problem, and then mobilized a large army to encircle and annihilate luxury Chongming and An Bangyan in Shuixi.

Now due to the appearance of Zhu Youxiao, the losses caused by luxury Chongming are much less, but the pressure on Chengdu is much greater, but fortunately, Zhu Xieyuan has a good schedule, which ensures that Chengdu is not lost. In addition, Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin quickly captured Chongqing and captured Luzhou, which caused Luxury Chongming to be unable to mobilize more men and horses from the rear.

Zhang Tong decided to accept the lessons of the rebels' defeat in Chongqing and Shuixi City, so he took the initiative to drive out of the city to meet the battle without waiting for Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin's troops to surround Ziyang, trying to rely on the advantage of numbers to have a chaotic battle on the vast plain.

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Zhang Tong to be so bold, his troops had not yet started the siege, and Zhang Tong actually dared to attack out of the city. Although caught off guard, but Qi Jin's command ability is still very powerful, in the face of the swarming rebels, Qi Jin calmly ordered the soldiers in front to set up a camp, according to the camp and defend, the soldiers behind quickly assembled into a row of firing queues, in the middle with the thick village as the basis with the "two kicks" small cannon tenaciously resisted the attack, left and right divided 5,000 people each to form an encirclement. In fact, it would be very dangerous for Qi Jin to do this under ordinary circumstances, but this time Qi Jin is very sure. With the formation of the encirclement, the troops in the middle of the defense suddenly began to fire a salvo, not only hitting the vanguard, but also shelling the isolated reinforcements, and when the rebels in front of them retreated, without waiting for the rebels to organize a second attack, they directly ordered the whole line to attack, and the mortars directly fired at the rebels who dared to stop and resist when they moved forward. Under the attack of powerful modern firearms, Zhang Tong's native soldiers were simply like rabbits being hunted, panicked one by one, either kneeling down and surrendering, or being shot dead by the platoon. In less than an hour, Zhang Tong was completely annihilated, and he himself died in the mortar volley. In Sun Chengzong's eyes, since I have the means of long-range attack, why bother with you, so I command mortars to carry out decapitation attacks on dense crowds and obvious enemy command leaders at any time, which is also a very effective means, and has become a model example of the Ming army's rapid victory in future wars.

The Ming army successfully occupied the city of Ziyang, and the common people in the city warmly welcomed the Ming army who recovered Ziyang, because the arrival of the Ming army did not loot everywhere like the rebels, not only brought the urgently needed food, but also brought a very strong purchasing power for the merchants.

At the same time that Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin won the victory of Ziyang, good news also came from Chengdu, and Luo Ganxiang, a subordinate of Luxury Chongming, saw that Luxury Chongming's general trend had gone, and secretly informed the city that he was preparing to surrender, and the time was agreed, just waiting for Sun Chengzong's arrival.

Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin discussed, decided not to rest, went straight to Chengdu, now the morale of the Ming army is high, one by one as if they drank chicken blood, the last battle, all in one battle, so there is no need to take any gold and silver treasures to incentive, not to mention that since the Western Expedition Qi Jin has not treated them badly, Sun Chengzong also half-closed his eyes and let Qi Jin divide the harvest of the soldiers The property, in one day, the Ming army rushed to the suburbs of Chengdu.

On the second day of February in the second year of the Ming Dynasty's Apocalypse, when the sun had just risen, Zhu Xieyuan, the political envoy of Sichuan, led nearly 20,000 Chengdu defenders out of the city to meet the battle. This is a godsend in the eyes of luxury Chongming, since the siege of the city for nearly three months, the Ming army has always been out of the hole, so he has tried his best to attack the city, today he actually dares to go out of the city, then you are welcome. Although there are 30,000 people of Sun Chengzong in Ziyang, if he can capture Chengdu today, it is not a problem to turn around and take advantage of the situation to recapture Yongning, after all, Sun Chengzong only has 30,000 people, and he still has 80,000 horses.

Just when Extravagant Chongming was trying to reorganize the rivers and mountains, suddenly there was chaos behind his camp, Luo Ganxiang began to move, and then the sound of artillery was remembered in all directions, and the entire rebel camp fell into a sea of fire, Sun Chengzong and Qi Jin's troops came up from three sides, the front was the volley of musketeers, and there were mortars and "two kicks" in the back. Luxury Chongming deserves to be a hero, knowing that he will be defeated today, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he took his son Hao Yin under the escort of 5,000 personal soldiers, and wanted to fight a bloody way and escape.

Sun Chengzong held the binoculars and stared at Luxury Chongming, if he wanted to run, there was no door, the reason why he chose to attack during the day was that he was afraid that you would run, or the loss of attacking at night might be smaller. Sun Chengzong was afraid that he would not be able to see it well, so he asked eight pro-soldiers to each bring ten mortars to keep an eye on, as long as he found that Luxury Chongming would be bombarded with mortars, let him hide in the circle, just don't run out, the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, Luxury Chongming was surrounded more and more tightly, and finally was tripped and fell down and captured alive, and his son Luxury Yin was killed by random artillery.

Extravagant Chongming was captured, extravagant Yin was killed, An Bangyan's body was gone, Sichuan's counterinsurgency campaign was over, and the entire Sichuan people were immersed in a sea of joy.

The king of Shu, who guarded the city with Zhu Xieyuan in Chengdu City, saw the power of the people's rebellion, and also heard that Li Xin's behavior in Guizhou and Yongning won the hearts of the people. Good guy, the whole Sichuan was shocked at the beginning of this King of Shu, and the reputation of the King of Shu was shocked, and even Zhu Youxiao asked Sun Chengzong to inscribe "Enlightened King" on his behalf.

Zhu has filial piety, this is an example, I think Sichuan who dares to collect a high rent, who dare, so under the leadership of the King of Shu "Enlightened King", the rent of the entire Sichuan has been reduced to three percent of the entire harvest, and in the future, when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, it will also be rent-free. From this time on, Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty began to take off economically, driving the economic development of the entire southwest border, the imperial court had a stable rear, and the king of Shu became a hardcore supporter of Zhu Youxiao's land reform.
