Chapter 495: The Chaos in Shuzhong on the Eve of the Northern Expedition and Li Dingguo's Recovery of Chengdu (14th Update)

The world is not chaotic, Shu is in chaos, and the world has been ruled but Shu is not governed.

Before the start of Chongzhen's 22nd Northern Expedition, Zhu Youzhen had already let the Ming army provoke a war in the southwest, but until now, the whole of Sichuan has not yet started the real Northern Expedition.

The other Northern Expeditionary armies had crossed the Yellow River one after another and began to regain lost territory and counterattack the Qing army.

And Sun Kewang and Haoge are still in Sichuan, like clowns jumping off the beam, singing and I will appear.

It was the first time for the Manchu Qing Su Prince Haoge to come to this warm climate in Shuzhong, he didn't expect the winter here to be so warm, he immediately liked it, especially when he saw that there was a trickle of water in the snow on this fertile land, and there were so many cottages and noisy market towns among the green trees, he was as excited as if he saw a virgin that could be ravaged.

Haoge only sent a small force to Jintang, Pixian, Xindu and other places to plunder.

And he himself came straight to Chengdu Fucheng with the main force of the blue flag.

Sun Kewang also knew that there was a Qing army nearby at this time, and he had already learned that there was a Qing army that was looting around his Chengdu Mansion, and he was quite annoyed.

Now he has regarded Sichuan, especially Chengdu, as his own territory, and his own officers and soldiers can plunder, but he is unwilling for the Qing army to plunder on his own territory.

However, Sun Kewang also knew that he was now attached to the Manchu Qing, so he still sent an envoy to meet the Manchu general Haoge.

"Our Royal Highness the King of Shu has been attached to the Qing Dynasty, and is about to send troops to recapture the two cities of Xuzhou and Jiading, and protect the southwest border for the Qing Dynasty, so Prince Pu Laosu personally led a large army into Shu, so as not to trap the soldiers and lack of people, for this reason His Royal Highness the King of Shu specially gave 200,000 stone grain and 500,000 taels of silver, and asked Prince Su to return to the dynasty in triumph, and convey the sincerity of His Royal Highness the King of Shu for the imperial court", this Sun Kewang envoy said to Haoge respectfully.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu? This is who gave him the title".

Prince Su Haoge had to admit that Sun Kewang was indeed very sincere, and in order to send himself away, he directly sent 100,000 stone grain and 500,000 taels of silver.

But also because Sun Kewang was so generous, he realized more and more that this land in Shu was really rich, and he could casually take out 200,000 stone grain and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Therefore, Prince Su Haoge first had to question the legitimacy of Sun Kewang's Shu throne.

"Don't dare to deceive Prince Su, our Royal Highness has sacrificed heaven and earth in Chengdu on October 20, established himself as the king of Shu, and served His Majesty the Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty as the main master, and established the country name as Zhou, and changed the Yuan to Yanqing."

After the envoy of Sun Kewang said with a smile, Prince Su Haoge slapped the table:

"Ridiculous! How can the king of the founding of the country be decided by him as a thief, you go and tell Sun Kewang that if he really intends to surrender to my Qing Dynasty, this king will protect him as the king of Jianzhou in the Qing Dynasty, but if he wants to divide Chengdu and stand on his own, there is no way! If he does not obey the will of this king, in three days, this king will break through Chengdu and take his life! ”

Prince Su's statement also angered Sun Kewang.

"Shameless! Fail to keep the faith! These Tartars dare to threaten Lone, in that case, why should they serve you as the Lord! ”

When Sun Kewang knew that Prince Su Haoge changed his previous promise to occupy his Chengdu Mansion, he also resolutely tore off the banner of Fengqing as the Lord, and then directly announced that he was the emperor, directly proclaimed himself I, and officially stated that he regarded the Qing army Haoge as an enemy and began to strengthen the city defense.

However, at this time, Prince Su Haoge had arrived at the city of Chengdu quickly, began to bombard Chengdu Mansion with a huge cannon, and sent a large number of Qing troops to attack the city, and Sun Kewang was not willing to be his imperial dream to be broken by Prince Su Haoge, after all, he was only called the emperor for less than half a day, and he also issued the will of the people to choose concubines, and people searched for good daughters everywhere.

Therefore, Sun Kewang completely took out money to motivate his soldiers to fight a bloody battle with the Qing army, so although the entire Chengdu city was not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, the city wall was also killed quite fiercely.

Prince Su Haoge was also unwilling to pour the meat in his mouth and couldn't eat it in his mouth, while threatening to take down the Chengdu Mansion and allow a big robbery for three days, while saying that he would be the emperor in Chengdu, and those who captured Chengdu at that time were all founding fathers, which made the entire Qing army also very hard.

Moreover, Prince Su Haoge also got a lot of money and food from Zhou Ze, and he didn't want to give the reward silver.

The entire perimeter of Chengdu Fucheng has become a meat grinder, almost into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, the water of the Jinjiang River has turned bright red, and even the area around the Shu Palace has the sound of the Qing army and the Sun army fighting.

In order to keep Chengdu and defeat the Qing army, Sun Kewang tried many ways, and used any methods of night raids and oil to organize the dead, and even he himself went to the battlefield in person, and personally expressed his willingness to reward the captured women to the soldiers as long as they conquered Chengdu Mansion and let them enjoy it.

Prince Su Haoge also ordered his soldiers to attack, and even sent someone to inform Zhou Ze and ordered him to send reinforcements to Chengdu.

However, Sun Kewang's troops were still inferior to Prince Su Haoge, and in the end, the Qing army still occupied Chengdu Mansion.

And Sun Kewang was also killed by the angry Haoge car, and all Sun Kewang's officers and soldiers were slaughtered.

Immediately after that, Haoge began to order a three-day robbery starting tomorrow, and also ordered to prepare for the selection of concubines, and also left Sun Kewang's women and civil and military officials behind, and couldn't wait to start ascending the throne and becoming emperor.

Haoge knew that it was impossible for the Manchu Qing to hold Beijing, so he didn't bother to take care of Shunzhi's feelings, so he simply impatiently called the emperor in Chengdu, and even Haoge couldn't help but think that if Shunzhi in Beijing really fell into the hands of the Ming army, he would do so as to continue the national Zuo for the Qing Dynasty, even if he saw Huang Taiji under Jiuquan, it was justified.

Hauge had the idea of becoming emperor early on.

Therefore, he is now more anxious than anyone else, and soon he began to change Yuan Jingning, and even crowned Zhou Ze as a first-class duke, and ordered Zhou Ze to come to Chengdu to worship him as a king.

However, Hauge still takes the Qing Dynasty as his national name, and the appearance of two emperors in the Manchu Dynasty when he disappeared from the stage of history is a rare thing in the history books.

But Hauge, the emperor, was only an emperor for one night.

At midnight the next day, when the Qing army, which had rested all night, was ready to start its own carnival and rushed into the homes of the gentry and common people in Chengdu to rape and plunder, the cannon outside the city rang out.

Li Dingguo's army, which had been attached to the Ming Dynasty, had arrived in Chengdu.

Also arriving was a heavy artillery battalion of the Second Corps of the Seventh Guards Army, and hundreds of heavy artillery shelled the already crippled city walls of Chengdu Mansion to the ground again.

Li Dingguo personally led 2,000 cavalry to kill him.

And Haoge's Qing officers and soldiers were really caught off guard, at this time they only thought about looting, and they didn't expect the Ming army to suddenly appear, almost some of the Qing soldiers were dragging a woman out of a house when they cut off their heads, and the excited Qing army didn't come back to their senses and found that they had lost the lower half of their bodies, and the robbed women were also scared and fainted.
