After a lapse of six years, the Ming army entered Guangzhou again, using exactly the same method as six years ago, but the military discipline of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang that entered the city was solemn, even if it was to check the defenders hidden in the houses, there were military judges and supervisors who were responsible for leading the team and explaining to the people, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts.

In this way, the speed is bound to slow down, but the army entering the city has already controlled the entire city wall, and the staff division divides the alleys and alleys, and investigates them one by one, always capturing those civilians, officials, officers, non-commissioned officers, and their families and related people who are still happy and such as Ma Xiong, and then conduct a trial and distinguish clearly before making a disposition.

However, this round of investigation is more severe than the previous ones, and whether to conduct a second or even a third round of investigation is still being discussed, but in this first round of investigation, each military judge and prison officer who led the team carried a portrait, but everything that looked similar to the portrait had to go through a round of review.

"The last general is incompetent, and it is gratifying that he failed to capture, and he dares to punish the marshal."

The advance of the Min Zhong Division was not slow, but Shang Kexi still disappeared from the palace. In this way, the ninety-nine bows have been worshipped, but it is this stubble that has come out of the door, which really makes Zhang Zisheng feel indignant.

"Shang Rebellion dares to send troops to western Guangdong and eastern Guangxi, and the way out must be left, so there is no need to mind."

After interrogation, Shang Kexi did escape back to the palace, and finally someone saw him in the ancestral hall of the Shang family. There are enshrined the ancestors of the Shang family, including Shang Kexi's father, who died in the battle of Shang, the capital of the Dongjiang River in Liaodong.

Shang Xueli died in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and the Ming court posthumously presented the position of guerrilla general, and Shang Kexi also became a general under Mao Wenlong. It was also in the tenth year of Yongli that the Manchu Qing Dynasty posthumously recognized Shang Xueli as the king of Pingnan County, and when Chen Wen saw this history, a sense of absurdity arose. However, it can also be seen from this that King Sanshun had such an important position on the chessboard of the Manchu war against the Ming.

In the ancestral hall of the Shang family, the Ming army found a secret passage that led to the eagle dog room inside the palace. It is divided into four major places: the insect and ant room, the bird room, the eagle harrier room and the dog room, and there are those birds and beasts, and the search of the Ming army is more difficult.

"Slaughter all those beasts, and speed up the search."

While persuading Zhang Zisheng, Chen Wen sent his anger to the troops in charge of the search. Shang Kexi is the biggest target of this battle, and now that the battle has been won, but the target is gone, Zhang Zisheng is indignant, how can he not be.

However, a large living person disappeared in the huge palace, and it was extremely difficult to catch it again. It is unwise to search blindly, and only by following the traces can there be greater hope.

However, the Shang family's eagle dog house occupies a lot of land, and it will be the Houloufang Street in later generations. Among them, the insect ant house raises crickets, grasshoppers, autumn cicadas, and bees; The bird house raises quails, thrushes, white pigeons, and fighting cocks; Eagle harrier house to raise sea east green, blue harrier, hemp eagle; The kennel houses Oto hounds and pugs. There are full-time officials such as "dog supervisors" everywhere, and there are nearly 100 breeding personnel. With such a scale, especially in the destruction of traces by birds and beasts, it is really not easy to find Shang Kexi.

After losing his temper, Chen Wen continued to talk to the Confucian students around him. And the person who talked to Chen Wen was none other than Shang Kexi's confidant Jin Guang.

This Confucian student who went out of Yiwu Qingcun has now taken off his official uniform and changed into a Taoist robe and a net scarf, looking like a scholar of the Han family. This person can now talk and laugh in front of Chen Wen, in fact, the reason is very simple, Chen Wen marched into Fujian, and Shang Kexi was far from rushing back, so this Jinguang took the initiative to find the person in charge of the Guangzhou Station of the Military Intelligence Department and expressed his intention to return to Shun.

Otherwise, the height of the city or something is better to say, the detailed data of those artillery pieces in the city, it is impossible to get it so clear just by relying on the Guangzhou station, which has a small number of people and a small investment.

Next, as Shang Kexi returned to the division, Jin Guang began to investigate the details, and the Guangzhou station was transferred out of the city by Jinguang, leaving only one liaison officer, but the fine works sent by Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Hao Shangjiu and even Zheng Chenggong were swept away by Jin Guang, and it seemed that the Shang family had also achieved remarkable results.

Jin Guang borrowed a letter from the old patriarch of the clan to persuade Fang to decide to surrender, for the old patriarch, Chen Wen still has an impression, when he attacked Jinhua Mansion, the old patriarch among the descendants of the Qi family army in Yiwu was the only one who had seen Qi Jiguang with his own eyes, and it was also the old patriarch who shouted out the sentence "It's really the Qi family army that is back" completely helped him to heat up the field in Yiwu, and recruited thousands of soldiers in one go, among which there are many descendants of the Qi family army with a martial arts foundation can be so easy.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. Besides, Jin Guang has merit, Chen Wen does not plan to embarrass others. There are a lot of people to be killed in this battle, and he doesn't plan to leave any of Shang Kexi's heavy generals, and even many middle and lower-ranking officers will be executed, and those who survive the non-commissioned officers will also be sent to the coolie camp - they are the banners of the Han army, and I think those coolies in the green camp will treat them well.

However, Chen Wen did not discuss with him where Shang Kexi would flee from. After all, Jin Guang had been with Shang Kexi for many years, and he knew the inside story very well, but looking at the help of the old patriarch at the beginning of his career, Chen Wen didn't intend to make him too embarrassed. Here is just to talk about some other inside information of the Pingnan Royal Mansion and even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as for Shang Kexi, Chen Wen believes that his subordinates still have this ability.

"The king's order to slaughter these birds and beasts is also a pleasure for the people of Guangdong."

Jin Guang mentioned this matter, and Chen Wen also listened attentively. It turns out that in the Pingnan Palace, "the cat is called Miss and Niuniu, and the dog has the name of Xianggong and Little Brother." "Often go out with dogs," "people and dogs are congested". The butcher shops they pass through must "honor" the pork and the dog, and passers-by are afraid to avoid it, but they are afraid that they can't.

After listening to this story, Chen Wen was really embarrassed. Those who co-authored later generations out of love for pets, the pets in the housekeeper were called sons and daughters, and they were already left over from the ancients. Think about the police dogs raised in the military industry department and the barracks, they are still eating leftovers, and occasionally they can wag their tails and be happy for a long time, and the dogs raised in the Pingnan Wangfu have reached the point where the butcher shop they pass through wants to "honor" pork.

After a long time, the latest developments came, and the troops in charge of the search had a great deal of effort to find a secret passage from the kennel, which led directly to a mansion outside the palace. The traces of weapons, goods, and food storage in the courtyard of the house, and these things are gone, and it is obvious that Shang Kexi left here with his cronies.

But the problem is that there is no trace of horses stored here, and the search team actually found two tunnels from this small house, pointing to the west and south of the city, which really made Chen Wen very angry.

"This king remembers that Shang Kexi was born as a sailor in Dongjiang Town, who can explain that this job of digging tunnels was handed over to him!"

Of course, the tunnel was not dug by Shang Kexi himself, and Chen Wen really had nothing else to say about the delicate mind of this cunning rabbit three caves. The generals have been by Chen Wen's side for many years, and they all know what to do at this moment, and the review work is once again tightened, and the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Ming armies have to send more troops to participate in the investigation of the entire city of Guangzhou.

Investigating a giant city like Guangzhou, time is the biggest enemy, even if there are many troops in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Ming, it is impossible to complete it in a period of time. After nightfall, the report of Chengnan New Town was the first to arrive, where the area is smaller, and although the transportation is convenient, it is also single.

"King, Nancheng has been investigated, during the war and even now, many ships in the port of Guangzhou have fled, but after our army controlled the gates of Nancheng, they never sailed out of the port."

Escaping from Guangzhou is nothing more than going out of the city from the south of the city and getting on a boat, whether to go up the river along the Pearl River or down the river; If you don't enter Baiyun Mountain from the north of the city, you can better get rid of the chasing soldiers when you enter the mountain; And the west of the city will inevitably be the direction of the Ming army's pursuit, even if it is really possible to escape from there, the road behind is also extremely dangerous.

The south of the city is a waterway, which is easier to walk, but Xu Long returned in a fiasco, and it is unlikely that the sailor will break through Chen Qice and Li Changrong's hungry sailor down the river. In particular, the time when Shang Kexi fled into the palace was only two quarters of an hour away from the last time when the gates of the southern city were controlled, and it was impossible for Shang Kexi to escape to the south of the city through the tunnels in such a short time.

"Regardless of the south, north or west of the city, send cavalry to chase after this king. I don't believe it, is Shang Kexi still flying away? ”

It is one thing to hunt down Shang Kexi, after the capture of Guangzhou, Chen Wen also needs to take over the areas of western Guangdong and eastern Guizhou as soon as possible. Especially Wuzhou in eastern Guidong, which is the gateway to Guangxi, Ma Xiong has been killed in the north of the city, and now that it is a borderless land, it should be taken as soon as possible, and then whether it is to enter Guangxi or hold Guangdong, there will be convenient conditions.

The army set out, leaving only Chen Wen and only Yu Hang's division in Guangzhou, and the other three divisions all set out, pointing to the three counties of Lianshan in the north of Guangzhou, the four prefectures of Gaolian Leiqiong in the southwest of Guangzhou, and the Wuzhou Mansion in the west of Guangdong.

In order to stick to Guangzhou, Shang Kexi's elite are all stationed here, and so are the foreign generals of Liangguang. There are only sporadic defenders in various places, and it is not worth a blow from the Ming army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, especially when the city of Guangzhou is broken and Shang Kexi is missing. It's just that in the afternoon of the next day, the news that Shunde came down without a fight, and Chen Wen received an urgent report that the envoy was about to arrive in Sanshui County.

"Can you use it so quickly?"

Chen Wen was speechless, the edict messenger came too quickly, if he couldn't break the city within three days, he would really face the edict of Yongli as Shang Kexi had predicted. Chen Wen didn't know what was written in the edict, but when he thought that Shang Kexi was still on the run, his inner anxiety arose.

Under the pretext that An Youfu had requisitioned all the horses and ships under the pretext that the army was out on the expedition, the Xuanzhao envoy had to delay for a day on the road, but also rushed to Guangzhou on the fourth day of the city.

"Invite General Ling Hai and Li Shuai."

The envoy of the Xuanzhao had not yet entered the city, but Chen Wen took the lead in finding Chen Qice and Li Changrong, two generals of the Guangdong Ming army. Not long after the two arrived, the edict envoy arrived at Chen Wen's whereabouts.

"Please return to the Holy Heaven on behalf of the king, the so-called generals are outside, and the military orders are not accepted. Governor Guo Zhiqi and Governor Lian Chengbi were incompetent, unable to coordinate the generals, and blindly accepted the so-called rebellion, resulting in chaos in Guangdong. Moreover, today Shang Kexi can attack and kill the generals of Guangdong, if the army withdraws from Guangdong, I am afraid that tomorrow Sun Kewang will also move south and attack Yunnan. ”

If Chen Wen did not capture Guangzhou, he would force Shang Kexi to release Guo Zhiqi, Lian Chengbi and other officials of Guangzhou, and use Chen Wen's power to restore the territory of those military generals in western Guangdong and eastern Guangdong, still with the control of the governor and the governor. In the end, as a reward, Chaozhou was distributed to Chen Wen, and it was Geng Jimao and Hao Shangjiu who suffered.

However, if Chen Wen had already captured Guangzhou, then Chen Wen was ordered to collect his troops and give one more Shaozhou Mansion as a reward, and Guangzhou and Shang Kexi and Ma Xiong's territory were divided among the generals, and the rest were placed with civil officials, and military generals were sent from Yunnan to recruit soldiers to defend the town.

As for the reason, Guangzhou is the provincial capital, and Guangdong is also different from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, but there are governors and governors, and Chen Wen's rash involvement in Guangdong is likely to lead to contradictions between Wenchen and nobles.

All in all, the Yongli Imperial Court did not want Chen Wen to gain a firm foothold in Guangdong, for the simple reason that Chen Wen's current power was too strong, even to the point that the imperial court had to be wary of. But for Chen Wen, he no longer counted on the help of others during the Northern Expedition, because of this, it was even more necessary to have a stable south, and only if it was strong enough, the occupied area could be more stable, so there was no reason to spit it out if it was eaten in his mouth.

Chen Wen's tough attitude is backed by his own strength, but the Yongli court has just entered Yunnan, and the government is in ruins, and the envoy sent by the edict is a hall official of the Ministry of Rites, and he was just a showman before.

Young and vigorous, seeing Chen Wenrusi, he asked rhetorically: "The king said that Guangdong was incompetent in civil and military affairs, so he came to help in the war, so why did Fujian and Chaozhou be?!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Wen shook his head, and then said with a smile: "This king has already been the son of heaven before, and Liu Qingtai of Fujian has been the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian for many years, entrenched in Fujian, and should be exterminated; Geng Jimao's name is anyway, but in fact, he used his identity as a king to resell military rations to Liu Qingtai, and his crime is not punishable; As for the Marquis of Jieyang in Chaozhou, he had previously made a request to the king to be a rich man, and the king remembered the merits of the Marquis of Jieyang anyway, and took the five-year tax of the Chaozhou government as a reward, and now he is enjoying the blessings of the Qing Dynasty on the edge of the West Lake. ”

Chen Wen pushed the angel back with a word, and also made the edict messenger realize the huge gap between the two sides, so he had to leave the line angrily.

From beginning to end, Chen Qice and Li Changrong didn't get a word or a half, but Chen Wen called them here to show the position of the Guangdong generals to the Yongli court. The two of them didn't know the news that the messenger was about to arrive, and they suffered the loss of being ill-informed, but the sailor was still at the dock, and they were even more in the middle of the road, and there was nothing they could do, so they had to stand there with their heads stubborn.

After the edict envoy left, Chen Wen chatted with the two for a while, and the two got up to say goodbye. On the way back to the barracks, Li Changrong sighed, and then said to Chen Qice: "This time it is considered to be miserable by King Yue, and it will be difficult for our brothers to argue with the court in the future." ”

Hearing this, Chen Qice also sighed, and it was none other than him, General Linghai, who sent someone to ask Chen Wen for help. Now that Chen Wen is using this as an excuse to reply to the imperial court, he is the first to bear the brunt, and he is even more unclear than Li Changrong.

"Forget it, let's take one step at a time."

………………

"When you arrive in Kunming, take one step at a time, the emperor can't kill our father and son."

On the way to escape, Shang Kexi said to his seventh son, Shang Zhilong. Shang Kexi's eldest son Shang Zhixin and second son Shang Zhixiao have both been trapped in Guangzhou, and he just escaped with this seventh son, with only a dozen cronies around him. The army is gone, and the absence of generals in the troubled times means that there is nothing, and now Chen Wen wants his head, but it is the Yongli Imperial Court, although he was still behind his back not long ago, but the imperial court wants to be faced, and he can't be slaughtered and let other feudal towns centrifuge it.

He had eaten dry food, which he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his son was even more so. However, in today's situation, even if there is food to eat, what can you hope for.

After a hurried meal, everyone got on their horses again and prepared to go to Kunming, Yunnan via Guangxi. However, as soon as they got on their horses, they heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance.

"Run!"

Before the words fell, Shang Kexi only heard a gunshot, and the war horse fell to death on the spot, and he was crushed under the horse by the way. fight
