Langzhong was attacked like this, its guard Zhao Ronggui shaved the tail of the money rat, hearing that the other party was willing to submit, Haoge seemed quite happy, patted his shoulder, and after a brief understanding of the garrison of the Great Western Army, he took a cursory look at the map, and asked him to lead his troops to attack the Long'an Mansion next to him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Just like the Japanese generals were very arrogant during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, in the face of the Ming army Haoge and other Manchu generals, they were also quite arrogant, hoping to achieve more flowering in this way, and flatten the Ming army in Sichuan in one fell swoop, instead of fighting steadily.

After stopping for a while, capturing the southern county town like a method, and finding out from the leader of the defending general that Zhang Xianzhong was exchanging food for the loyal army in Jinpu Town, where Yanting County and Xichong County intersect, everyone asked for battle.

Haoge decided to give full play to the spirit of the cavalry's rapid maneuver and thousands of miles to attack, and led the troops of Liu Jinzhong and Baya Laang Bang Aobai in front, and Haoge's pro-unified army followed behind and killed the Phoenix Mountain in the west.

Because they had taken precautions for a long time, especially sending multiple secret agents to Liu Jinzhong's department and Zhao Ronggui's department, everyone dressed up as businessmen and woodcutters on weekdays to closely monitor the movements of various departments.

After October of this year, surveillance was strengthened, and Pan Mengke, an intelligence staff officer, secretly infiltrated a nearby monk's temple, hoping to spy on first-hand information and to respond quickly.

Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui were really half-hearted, and now they actually surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and everyone was angry for a while, which can be imagined, and quickly, the news of the Manchu Tartars entering Sichuan was quickly sent to Shunqing Fucheng, and then transmitted to all states and counties in the jurisdiction.

After receiving the news of Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui's surrender, Yang Xuan reacted quickly.

Envoys were sent to Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi in Chengdu, and Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan in Neijiang, to report on the latest military situation and hope that everyone would make preparations as soon as possible.

Fearing that the Great Western Army would be attacked by the Manchu Tartars as it had done in history, the main forces of each regiment were openly assembled to attract the attention of the other side and alert the intelligence officers of the Great Western Army, except for a small number of personnel who were monitoring the movements of the Great Western Army on the front line.

All regiments in the vicinity of Shunqing Province were strictly ordered to strengthen the construction of fortifications, including trenches, horse pits, tripping horse ropes, and forts.

….

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was complacent, just got rid of more than 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled and part of the burden of the Sichuan army, looking at the 30,000 quintals of white rice in exchange, Zhang Xianzhong was complacent, and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone says that Yang Xuan is a young hero, but I think it's just a straw bag."

Now that there is such a shortage of food in various places, Yang Xuan is fortunate to exchange 30,000 loads of precious grain for the more than 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled and soldiers and horses of the Sichuan Guard. ”

The Great Western Army was confused by food, in order to solve the food problem, Wang Zhaolin suggested that the Great Western Army slaughter these Sichuan people in exchange for rations, but they didn't expect Yang Xuan to be so stupid, and everyone laughed when they heard it.

After a good meal, everyone seemed to regain the momentum of the day, and they all seemed to be in high spirits.

Zhang Xianzhong was also quite happy in his heart, and looked at everyone: "Everyone, let's talk about what our army should do next, is it to take the opportunity to capture Shunqing City, or continue to go north to enter Langzhong City to fight against the Tartars?" ”

Everyone was shocked, and the right prime minister Yan Xi couldn't even shout: "Emperor, His Majesty has not been able to wipe out more than 100,000 people under the city of Chengdu, and now the loyal army has returned to Shunqing City, and all departments have expanded.

Now Yang Xuan has sent a number of troops and horses to lurk in the people's cottages, launching a surprise attack when we are passing by, and defeating our army many times.

Emperor, yesterday, after the headquarters of the general Zhengdong ran over the road for 2 miles, bells and drums sounded loudly all around, and the sound of trumpets shook the sky.

Emperor, Yang Xuan has already prepared, let's not provoke him. ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said: "Since Yang Xuan is willing to spend 30,000 loads of grain in exchange for these useless old, weak, sick and disabled people from Sichuan, it seems that he has a lot of food, and my old Zhang is short of food, who will he fight if he doesn't beat him?" ”

Zuo Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin also persuaded bitterly: "Emperor, now that we are being attacked on all sides, only this Yang Xuan is quite friendly to us, we don't want to have any more disputes, so the Ming army from all walks of life is pressed on all fronts, and it is so difficult to do it." ”

Seeing everyone's opposition, Zhang Xianzhong also dispelled the idea of attacking Shunqing City, decided to stay for two more days, and then led the army north back to Shaanxi.

Not long after he had just fallen asleep, he went to the Malay newspaper in the middle of the night, claiming that the Qing army had entered the customs and was now rushing to Phoenix Mountain.

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head again and again, the Qing army was thousands of miles away, the Ming army general Liu Jinzhong was stationed at Baizhang Pass, Zhao Ronggui and other generals were stationed in Langzhong and southern places, the Qing army was 108,000 miles away, and it was the despicable villain who was spreading rumors to disturb the army's heart.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong felt trembling all over, after exchanging food, the generals of various ministries had a good impression of the loyal and righteous army, and some even sighed that if half of the officials in the world were like Yang Xuan, why would everyone come out to be thieves?

Now that more than 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people and Sichuan troublemakers have just been exchanged, traces of Tartars have been found in the north, is this forcing himself to go north to resist the Qing Dynasty?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and declared through gritted teeth that these Tartars were just fake by Huang Huang, and Yang Xuan was looking for someone to dress up, and Yang Xuan wanted to force himself to leave Gimpo Town as soon as possible in this way.

Zhang Xianzhong loudly reprimanded the scouts for spreading rumors, and in order to show his own shrewdness, he beheaded the scouts who reported the military situation indiscriminately.

On the morning of the 27th, Zhang Xianzhong was having dinner in his big tent of the Chinese army, and when he suddenly heard the conclusive news that the enemy army was approaching in the north, he was quite surprised.

Surprised to surprised, Zhang Xianzhong still ignored everyone's dissuasion and played the style of taking the lead in the past, and took a few generals to the front on war horses to check.

In due course, the fog gradually dissipated, under the leadership of Liu Jinzhong, Ao Bai led the Manqing Yellow Flag Brigade to arrive, across the river and Zhang Xianzhong just looked at each other, Liu Jinzhong saw Zhang Xianzhong from a distance, pointed and shouted: "This person is the Eight Kings, this is the Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong, the thief." ”

Ao worshiped the great joy, and urgently ordered the good shooters in the army to raise their bows and shoot, and for a while, thousands of arrows were fired, and Zhang Xianzhong and his surrounding soldiers were shot into a hornet's nest.

Wang Shangli, the governor of the Chinese army, Dou Minwang, the commander of the Chinese army, Hu Shougui and others saw Zhang Xianzhong being shot off the horse, and regardless of the oncoming rain of arrows, they rescued Zhang Xianzhong and brought him back to the Chinese army camp.

When he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Xianzhong was already angry, in addition to intermittently issuing "born in Yelingpo and died in Phoenix Mountain", this peasant army leader with mixed reputation and endless disputes after his death left the world.

Just like any historical figure, there are a lot of praises and attacks on Zhang Xianzhong in later generations, which are not very important at this moment, the important thing is that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and a generation of demons Zhang Xianzhong is dead.

Throughout Zhang Xianzhong's life, due to the great drought in Shaanxi, at the beginning of the army, there is no doubt that he led the villagers to live a way, and in this disaster for many years, he should not starve to death like this.

Later, after creating a famous hall, although he held high the idea of "only killing corrupt officials, not the people", there is no doubt that everywhere he passed, high-ranking officials and huge wealth all suffered from it, and other people were also poisoned by his army in order to protect themselves.

When Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan again, preparing to establish the so-called Great Western Kingdom based on Sichuan, and then compete with Li Zicheng for the world.

All the way to the march, Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered the Ming Dynasty clan, the Ming army generals who did not belong to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army officials, such as the Ming Dynasty's Xiang Wang, Chu Wang, Rui Wang, Shu Wang, Governor Long Wenguang, Chen Shiqi .........

For the common people, the captured Ming army was not slaughtered as before, such as cutting off their arms in Chongqing, although it increased the fear of the Sichuan people, but undoubtedly aroused the resistance of some Sichuan people.

After entering Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong still established a new regime based on Sichuan to compete with Li Zicheng, Nanming, and Manqing for the world.

For example, it was announced that the tax exemption of 3,000 in Sichuan was a vain attempt to win the hearts of the people.

For example, Yan Ximing, a native of Mianyang, was appointed as the right prime minister, and Jiang Dingzhen, Gong Wanjing and other officials were appointed as Shangshu, and so on, undoubtedly wanting to take Sichuan as the foundation, and then compete with the Manqing and Southern Ming Dynasty for the world.

In less than half a year, Zhang Xianzhong not only defeated Li Zicheng's Ma Ke Department in Shu, but also occupied most of Sichuan (except for Banzhou, which is today's Zunyi, Song Fanwei, which is today's Ganzi, and Pengzhou, which is the territory retreated by the protagonist of this article) into his ruling category.

However, Zhang Xianzhong, who was born as a petty official, did not take into account the problems of people's livelihood, and when he attacked Chengdu, the governor of Sichuan, Long Wenguang, ordered Zhao Jiawei to excavate Dujiangyan, which caused the destruction of the Chengdu Plain and exacerbated the crisis of his rule. (Before Li Bing repaired the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project, the Chengdu Plain was full of disasters.) ）

What Zhang Xianzhong did not expect was that Li Zicheng was quickly defeated, Nanming revived, Nanming appointed Wang Yingxiong, a native of Ba County, and Fan Yixing, a native of Shuzhou Prefecture, organized the Ming army in Yunnan-Guizhou to launch a counterattack.

Zhang Xianzhong was brave and heroic, following Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others to govern Sichuan very strictly, which caused the people everywhere to revolt again, just like in history, Yin Chengqi, Qian Yingrui, Feng Youqing led the Ming army and the righteous army to recover Shunqing Mansion, an important town in northern Sichuan, Zeng Ying led the remnants and the righteous army to recover Chongqing Mansion, and Yang Zhan led the remnants to occupy some prefectures and counties in Jiading Prefecture, which seriously weakened Zhang Xianzhong's rule.

Under the counterattack of the Sichuan gentry, Zhang Xianzhong intensified his efforts and carried out more bloody rule over the Sichuan people, such as beheading hundreds of scholars on the grounds of barbarian treachery, and sending men and horses to various places to forcibly requisition grain.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong's killing in Sichuan was also very heavy, such as in Chongqing, where the arms of the surrendering Ming troops were cut off;

If the people are slaughtered indiscriminately, such as sending troops to loot, as he said: "Only the corrupt officials are killed, not the obedient people, and the people who resist are killed indiscriminately."

However, Zhang Xianzhong's actual start of killing the Sichuan people should have begun in June 1645, when his rule was seriously threatened.

…….

At that time, Zhang Xianzhong controlled the territory, Zhang Xianzhong controlled all of Chengdu Mansion, Jiading Mansion, Shuzhou Mansion, Long'an Mansion, and Baoning Mansion (there were also Shunqing Mansion and Tongchuan Prefecture in history), and the area under his jurisdiction was only half of Sichuan Province, and the population under his control was only 3/5 of the Sichuan people.

It is that many people who publicly slander Zhang Xianzhong admit that the military discipline of the Great Western Army is very strict, and if it is a massacre, it will only be an organized massacre, even if it is really done, but since ancient times, the soldiers have been like bandits, and the people like to hide from the army.

For example, in Kuizhou and Chongqing, the Ming army had already recaptured these territories in one fell swoop before the massacre of the Great Western Army, causing limited casualties.

In other parts of Sichuan, such as Songfanfu and Dazhou, the Daxi Army never occupied these places, and it is impossible to cause any slaughter.

Xuzhou Mansion and Jiading Mansion were already the frontline positions of the Ming Army and the Great Western Army during the so-called beginning of the massacre, and it was too late to fight, so how could they have the time and energy to slaughter the local people?

From this point of view, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the massacre of the Sichuan people by the Great Western Army 1 and 2 became basically credible.

And in this time and space, because Yang Xuan was born, the Great Western Army failed to break through the Shunqing City recaptured by the righteous army, and repeatedly persuaded Zhang Xianzhong not to slaughter the Sichuan people, coupled with the so-called massacre that sent troops to prevent the evacuation of Chengdu City, so Zhang Xianzhong's killing was much less than the original historical time and space.
