After the rebels broke through the capital of A, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, committed suicide by throwing himself into a well. More than 20,000 of the 30,000 defenders of the city were killed, and the remaining 5,000 or 6,000 surrendered to Gaojun Mountain, which shows how tragic the scene of fierce fighting was at that time.

These civil and military officials were either killed in battle after the fall of their positions, or in street battles.
The rebels of Gao Junshan suffered 4,0800 casualties, and the miraculous thing is that none of his Chongwen soldiers suffered casualties.
Fumin is the first priority, but there is no need for Gao Junshan to worry about these, because this has become a system, and there are his Chongwen disciples to implement, officials at all levels are also step-by-step, what to do, and Shao Jiechun to implement the administration, how to straighten it out, there are Chongwen disciples to negotiate, Gao Junshan is completely a hands-off shopkeeper.
After the occupation of Chengdu, fifty or sixty old officials of the imperial court, such as Wang Zhaolin, Yan Xi, Jiang Dingzhen, Gong Wanjing, and Chen Yan, came to vote, and Gao Junshan sent all these people to Xiangyang to study, and then gave them appropriate positions.
The King of Shu committed suicide by throwing himself into a well, and all his property was confiscated, and the entire Shu King's Mansion was equivalent to a mountain of gold and silver! He gave full authority to his Chongwen disciples for the takeover task of this Shu Palace, and he was not at ease when such a valuable Shu Mansion was handed over to others.
He can now put Wei Zhongxian's treasure on his agenda, according to Huang Yunfa, this treasure is in a deep mountain treasure temple in Sichuan, he is going to mobilize people to look around, Wei Zhongxian's treasure is a lot of income, Gao Junshan is using money to develop science and technology, he will not miss it.
With a plan to send troops to the entire territory of Sichuan, he sent Bai Wenxuan's First Brigade of the Western Route Army to attack Baoning Mansion; Ma Yuanli's Second Brigade of the Western Route Army attacked Long'an Province; The third, fourth, and fifth brigades of the Western Route Army of Zhang Hualong, Wang Shangli, and Wang Ziqi were responsible for sweeping the prefectures and divisions in southern Sichuan, and the two brigades of Yuan Tao and Hu Jiusi were responsible for the water and land transportation of the combat troops on the southern front, as well as the tasks of guiding and interpreting, because most of the two brigades were locals.
His Chinese generals Dou Mingming, Li Hu, and Li Derong were stationed in several counties near Chengdu to ensure the safety of Chengdu A, while Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Jin, and Ma Wen, the four righteous sons, stayed in Chengdu and directly defended the safety of Gaojun Mountain.
In the battle for the remnants of the Qing Dynasty, the armies of all walks of life made rapid progress, and in only two months, they occupied almost the entire territory of Sichuan, except for Zunyi and Shizhu.
The stone pillar was because Qin Liangyu was there to hold on, and the rebel army never broke through Qin Liangyu's defense. Since the defeat of Kuimen, she has returned to Shizhu, organized the villagers, trained the army, and prepared to fight to the death against the rebels.
The battle report was in the hands of Gao Junshan, Gao Junshan knew that Qin Liangyu was a hero who resisted the Qing Dynasty, and from the perspective of national righteousness, Gao Junshan admired Qin Liangyu very much, so he ordered to stop the attack on Qin Liangyu, remembering Qin Liangyu's meritorious service in resisting the Qing Dynasty, and let the stone pillar be temporarily independent for a while.

Chongzhen three years, the edict of the king of Qin, the recovery of Yongping, Zunhua and other four cities, by Zhu Youzhen excellent edict praise and the title of a product of the lady, with the seal of Shaobao, hanging the seal of the general of Zhendong.
Qin Liangyu refused to surrender to Gao Jun Mountain, but she also did not have the ability to hit the stone pillar, and held the stone pillar for seven years, and died of illness at home in July 1648 AD.
After occupying Sichuan, Gao Junshan raised troops to attack Hanzhong.
In August of the 14th year of Chongzhen, he personally led Bai Wenxuan's First Brigade of the Western Route Army and the generals of the Chinese Army, Dou Mingming, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ma Jin, Ma Wen, Li Hu, and Li Derong, with a total of 120,000 troops, from northern Sichuan to Qipanguan and march to Hanzhong; At the same time, the He Renlong Brigade was ordered to set out from Fang County and attack Hanyin to disperse the forces of the defenders in Hanzhong.
