Zhou Lang sent troops this time, called to conquer the remnants of the enemy, and there was no decisive battle to fight, so he attacked in multiple ways.

Zhao Wen went out of Wuchang, enterprising Jingxiang, and coerced Sichuan; Hong Jiu refers to entering Henan from Shandong and taking Tongguan directly; Gou Quan sat in Beijing and Tianjin, attacked Zhengding, and knocked on Shanxi.

Each of the three armies has three armies and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers, and the scheduled tasks will be completed within one year. There is no need for Zhao Wen to invade Sichuan, and it is always said that Shaanxi is victorious, "Qin Long is based on the upper reaches of the world, and occupies the northwest of the shape of victory", it seems that holding Hangu Pass will sit firmly on Mount Tai. In fact, Shu Road is even more difficult, and that is really a husband and a man.

Hong Jiuzhi's combat purpose is also limited to Henan, Henan is a horse Pingchuan, a limited number of passes, such as Tiger Prison Pass, etc., in front of Tongguan (Hangu Pass) and other real Xiongguan, it is not worth mentioning at all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty almost gave up Henan, from Henan to draw away the available troops, this direction should not be difficult, for Hong Jiuzhi last year after a hard fight for more than half a year, it can be regarded as a kind of recuperation. Similarly, they are not required to break through Tongguan and enter Shaanxi, there are other ways.

From the point of view of troop deployment, Gou Quan's road is more like the main force, Chen Zhizhi's artillery troops are all left in Beijing, and will assist him in attacking Shanxi's passes, and Gou Quan has more requirements to enter Shanxi, occupy Shanxi, and annihilate or drive away the remnants of Jiaqing.

In fact, as long as you enter Shanxi, everything is easy to do, Shanxi people in the Ming and Qing dynasties are famous for doing business, as a soldier seems to be not very good, the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even later, the Shanxi army is not known for being strong, which is very different from the reputation of the Qin army next door.

In the fourth lunar month of the third year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, troops were dispatched, and the situation in May was already clear.

All three were big wins.

The defeat of the Manchu Qing is no longer something that can be compensated for by manpower.

Zhu Jue, Liu Yong and Wang Jie, the three youngest old guys who are in their 70s, have really strong administrative ability, but Wang Jie, who is on crutches, can recruit Shaanxi people one by one, Liu Yong can transport Sichuan's money and grain, and Zhu Qi can also make Shanxi's political affairs smooth, but they can't change one thing, that thing is called people's hearts.

It's not that Zhou Lang is so attractive to the people, but everyone thinks that the Manchus are going to die, or even have died. No one wants to be on the side of the loser.

There will be no will to fight, the soldiers have no will to fight, the Zhou army is united, morale is high, coupled with strong firepower, often do not need to be short-handed, artillery in unison, and then the pursuit of the north, all over the mountains and fields to capture prisoners, the Qing army gathered tens of thousands of people will cease to exist overnight.

Zhengding can't stop the strong army of the Great Zhou, and the same goes for Jingcheng. "The fifth of the eight Taihang mountains, the sixth of the nine stops in the world", Jing Cheng is indeed a dangerous pass that must be fought for by soldiers, but the defender is a dangerous pass, and it is also a dangerous place, entering and exiting a line, limiting the deployment of large-scale troops, but the narrow terrain amplifies the power of firearms. Han Xin once fought a backwater battle here, but the Qing army did not have the courage to fight against the water.

The Jingcheng army, which was dominated by the Shanxi Green Battalion and the recruitment of Xiang Yong, Zhu Jue did a lot of rectification, although he replaced the ineffective officers and sent reliable people, but the officers would not run, but they could not pull the soldiers back, and the shrewd Shanxi army, on the night when the cannon sounded, escaped by a third, and the next morning, Xiang Yong helped the senior officers sent by Zhu Qi and opened the gate.

After Shanxi Township bravely sacrificed the Jingcheng Pass, the rivers and mountains in the table were opened, and they went to Pingding (Yangquan) and Shouyang, all the way to Taiyuan. Jiaqing ran again, he has a back road, and those who have a back road do not have the courage to fight hard, he fled all the way to Shaanxi, crossed the Yellow River from Fengling, and went to Wang Jie.

Zhao Wen and Shulin fought a few decent battles in Jingxiang, with the supply of Sichuan's wealth, and there was no shortage of military supplies, and there were 30,000 veterans trained by the White Lotus Sect under their command, but after these veterans were defeated, they began to collapse, and Shulin chose to retreat into Sichuan with the remnants before the general defeat.

The easiest is Henan Road, which is a place abandoned by the Qing army, many local officials are defending the city for the Great Zhou, just waiting for the Great Zhou to take over, and some civil officials who don't want to be the second minister will hang the seal and abandon the official and leave. But there is no county, a government, saying that all the officials have run away, there are always those who are active, knowing the future depends on the performance at the moment, colleagues are gone, they try to maintain order, the boss is gone, they are brave to take on big responsibilities, the whole Henan is almost like this, quite calm, many people are from a sleep and find that they have changed from the Qing Dynasty to the people of the Great Zhou.

What's more, the state and county officials have already taken the local squires and elders out of the city for ten miles to greet Wang Shi, and these people don't wear hats, and deliberately lose their braided bald heads in two places.

Hong Jiu's soldiers drove straight to Tongguan without blood, confronting the Qin army.

Shaanxi this place, the development is very early, the Qin and Han dynasties have been basically completely developed, the land of the Guanzhong Plain is squeezed dry and clean, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, Shaanxi is already a famous bitter cold place, some people here say that the people are simple, some people say that the people are silent and steady, and some people say that they have a strong temperament, "Qin soldiers endure hard fighting" The saying has been around for a long time, I don't know if it is because of these character reasons.

Zhu Yuanzhang's battle to destroy the Yuan was also the last attack on Shaanxi, and Xu Da and Chang Yuchun participated in the battle. Obviously, Da Zhou is referring to Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy, Hong Jiuzhi reconnoitred the towering Tongguan, and he can't help but feel distressed, under normal circumstances, I am afraid that it really can't be defeated, there is a longitudinal ravine, and there is only one line of Tongguan, and it is too easy to arm.

Shaanxi was poor, and suffered from the scourge of the White Lotus Sect, there were many people who were extremely poor, and a large number of people were recruited into the army, and Shaanxi, with a population of less than 10 million, recruited 400,000 villagers.

Therefore, Hong Jiuzhi felt that he was afraid that he would not have the opportunity to attack Tongguan alone, so he stopped his troops in Shaanzhou and waited for the military order. As a result, he only waited for a month, and let him attack Tongguan, and there were no reinforcements, so he asked his headquarters to attack Xiongguan. Hong Jiuzhi is not afraid, he has been longing for a long time, Beijing has been defeated, there is no interest in the cities of the world, and the only challenge left is the danger of taking advantage of the geographical trend of mountains and rivers.

Sure enough, it is not very easy to fight, Xi'an garrison Eight Banners, Shaanxi Green Battalion, local Xiangyong, the Qing army concentrated 200,000 people here, Hong Jiuzhi's soldiers and auxiliaries totaled 100,000 (leaving some auxiliaries stationed in various places), artillery bombardment for more than ten days, Tongguan resisted the baptism of artillery. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japan did not attack Tongguan, but fought around the nearby Zhongtiao Mountain, Fenglingdu and other places, but failed. Xu Da relied on Chang Yuchun to cross the Yellow River to enter Shaanxi, and he did not break through Tongguan head-on and enter the pass.

So Hong Jiu's finger color failed, it was conceivable, but he attracted the main force of the Qing army and created opportunities for other armies.

Zhao Wenbu crossed the Han River, crossed Shangzhou, attacked Lantian Plain, and advanced to Xi'an Mansion with 20,000 light infantry. Jiaqing, who had just fled to Xi'an, had an unstable foothold and chose to flee again, this time to Lanzhou.

Jiaqing fled, angry to death old Wang Jie, Xi'an City surrendered, at this time there are 100,000 Qing troops in the city, most of them are temporary patchwork of Xiangyong, weapons are very lacking, many on the bamboo poles, wooden sticks. Wang Jie can pull up an army of 400,000, but he can't conjure up 400,000 knives.

Zhao Wen did not stay in Xi'an for a long time, he would be in Tongguan, he did not attack like Hong Jiuzhi, his raid on Xi'an's army, all of them were infantry, and he didn't bring a single cannon, he summoned more than a dozen opera troupes in Xi'an City, and sang Qin dialect outside Tongguan:

"Two Wolf Mountain--Zhan Hu'er--The sky shakes--Good man-For the country-Why fear--Death--Life-"

This is an excerpt from the Yang family in the Qin dialect, and the Yang family sang when the old Linggong Yang Jiye died in the Golden Beach.

This is a battle to attack the heart, the Yang family will defend the country, protect the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State will be regarded as Hu'er, not to mention the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

I don't know if the heart-to-heart battle worked, after singing a whole set of Yang generals, the Tongguan defenders came to negotiate, and under the condition of promising to protect their family, the eight banners of the Xi'an garrison who fought here surrendered.

Shaanxi is lost, Sichuan has become an island, and the attacks on Sichuan have always been from Shaanxi.

But after the Great Zhou army converged in Xi'an, it did not go south to Sichuan, but advanced to the northwest and attacked Lanzhou, where Jiaqing is. Catching, or killing Jiaqing, is more important than anything else.

But Jiaqing ran again, this time he couldn't catch up, he crossed the Hexi corridor and ran to Ili (Xinjiang).

The battle of Sichuan was only put on the agenda at this time.

Zhao Wen attacked the battle of Shaanxi, and he fought very spiritually, which is the biggest difference between him and other officers, and it is also his advantage, in the final analysis, his cultural level is better than others, except for Chen Yizhi, no one else has received formal education, and Zhao Wen's father is a showman, he has been systematically educated.

In addition, Zhao Wen had been facing Jing Xiang and fled to Sichuan, Shulin, who he was most familiar with, and appointed Zhao Wen as the chief military officer to command other armies and capture Sichuan.

But it is not so easy to fight Sichuan from Shaanxi, it is full of all kinds of legends and stories, what Wuding opened the mountain, the Ming Dynasty repaired the plank road to secretly cross Chencang, the six out of Qi Mountain, the nine expeditions to the Central Plains and so on, are all stories left by the war in this area of Shaanxi and Sichuan.

Zhao Wen personally led the army to attack and forced down the empty defense, and he didn't expect the enemy to attack Guangyuan from Shaanxi. Then from Guangyuan out of Kuzhu Pass, through Langzhong, into Shunqing Mansion, along the Jialing River south; Ordered Hong Jiuzhi to lead the army from Hanzhong Mansion to Shu through Micang Mountain, Yueba Prefecture, and go south along the Qujiang River. The two armies converged at Hezhou and then moved south to attack Chongqing.

At this time, Shulin's elite soldiers were still deployed along the river in Badong, Kuizhou Mansion (Qutang Pass), Yunyang and Wanxian County, and another part of the army was in the Shimen Pass area of Gao County, Xuzhou Prefecture, when the Mongols attacked Sichuan, they had advanced from north to south, and after surrendering Dali, they entered Sichuan from the area of Gao County.

Shulin didn't expect that there would be enemies in the direction of Shaanxi, he didn't even know that the Zhou army had captured Xi'an, and the Shu Road was difficult to block traffic, and Zhao Wen's speed was indeed too fast, and he didn't leave time for the news to be transmitted. The rear is full of old and weak soldiers, and there is no defense at all, plus people are determined, Shulin knows that the general trend has gone.

He was surrounded by enemies on all sides, in the hinterland of the enemy territory, Shulin did not have the idea of the peasant army in the mountains at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was disheartened, and in the case of confirming that the emperor was not captured or killed, he had no worries, and wrote a letter to Zhao Wen, who had been fighting with him for several years, hoping that the Great Zhou would take the world to follow the example of the Ming Dynasty and the remnants of the previous dynasty, and then ordered his army to surrender or return to his hometown, and sent all the military salaries that could be paid.

After that, Shulin drew his knife and killed himself.

Sichuan prefectures and counties surrendered one after another, leaving only Liu Luoguo, who was stubbornly resisting in Chengdu. Liu Yong is 84 years old, but he doesn't even use crutches, and in history he was still on duty in the study the day before he died, and he also feasted on the guests on the night of his death, and then died quietly.

A man in his eighties, surrender has no meaning to him, and all he can think about in his life is his posthumous name, but the name of a minister who has died in the country will not have a good reputation after his death, so he has no desire. He did not surrender, nor did he stop his men from fleeing for their lives, and when the army came to Chengdu, he sat alone in the lonely city.

A man in his eighties, in China, a country that respects the elderly, as long as he does not fall into the hands of bandits and hooligans, generally no one dares to do anything to him. He was captured, he still ate and drank well, as if everything had nothing to do with them, he went in and out of the camp freely, and talked freely with the soldiers, as if the two sides were not hostile.

A few months later, Liu Yong died peacefully in the army.

In October, after a long journey for more than half a year, the Zhou army basically unified the entire territory of Guannai.

Out of customs, officially put on the agenda.
