Chongzhen also wondered, this Ma Jinzhong didn't see anyone dead or corpse, could the world evaporate?

But when I thought about the melee, tens of thousands of horses and horses fought for two days and one night, some fighting in the city, some fighting in the river, some fighting on the shore, and some still fighting in the hills.

To find the whereabouts of a person, even if he is the main general, it is difficult to find a needle in a haystack.

Li Yan, Huang Degong, Ma Bao and Liu Zhaoji and several others came to see Chongzhen to give instructions, and they all said that they did not see Ma Jinzhong.

Chongzhen sent an edict to them to report in detail all the experiences of capturing Anqing and forcing these captives to surrender, and then Chongzhen knew in his heart that this Ma Jinzhong would definitely not be able to run.

Anqing City was surrounded by Ma Bao's heavy troops, and not a single soldier escaped. The battle on the river bank was also one-sided, with Ma Jinzhong's 3,000 sailors surrounded by Liu Zhaoji's 15,000 sailors on the river.

Either he died in the river or mixed in with the captives.

But Chongzhen believes that this Ma Jinzhong will not die so easily, starting from the thieves, then to the ranks of officers and soldiers, and now to the warlord minions of Nanming, it can be said that he has experienced a hundred battles, and his nickname of 100,000 is not in vain.

But in other words, if he really dies in the chaos, then I will really make a big fuss.

It shows that the historical record is wrong, Ma Jinzhong wants to be loyal but does not have the ability to be loyal, and it is not to blame that I did not give him a chance.

There are no regrets about this.

Two days later, Chongzhen drove from Chizhou and entered Anqing.

1,000 Jinyi guards formed the imperial camp, Wang Chengen supervised the division, Tang Wancai, Li Miniang, Lu Xiaofeng, Li Moran, and Gu Shunyi did not leave Chongzhen by his side.

Chongzhen sat on the chariot, with Chan'er and Xiaowan waiting, chatting with Wang Chengen without a word while walking, staggering in the car, and came to Anqing City.

Chongzhen lifted the curtain, and outside was the rolling Yangtze River water, crashing on the shore.

On the river bank, both sides of the road are full of Ming troops, soldiers and armor, swords and guns like a forest, majestic.

There are also a large number of Ming army ships on the riverbank, which are searching for Ma Jinzhong along the river, and by the way, salvage the body in the river.

At this time, the south gate of Anqing City was opened.

The team that greeted the car was discharged for several miles, and Li Yan, Huang Degong, Liu Zhaoji, Ma Bao and others led their generals. Welcome the holy car into the city.

Anqing City is an ancient city with a long history, in the Ming Dynasty, Anqing Mansion belonged to Nanzhili.

The city is splashed with clean water, and the loess mat road is completely new.

After Chongzhen entered the city, the welcoming people were empty.

Li Yan attaches the most importance to propaganda work, and the most successful case of that year was to kill cattle and sheep, prepare wine and pulp, open the city gate to welcome the king, and the king will not pay for food when he comes......

In just a few sentences, Li Zicheng made a comeback and entered Beijing in one go.

It can be seen how important the propaganda work is, and how immediate the results are that Li Yan has done.

Now that Chongzhen has been able to go to Anqing, Li Yan still attaches great importance to propaganda work.

Timely posted a notice to calm the people, told the people in the city that Emperor Chongzhen was alive and well, and exposed the truth about Chongzhen's death and life, which was the result of Li Zicheng's ulterior motives, exposing the ugly faces of the puppet emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty and Ma Shiying and others, and exposing the wolf ambitions of warlord Zuo Liangyu and others.

The common people rushed to tell each other.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has experienced 276 years of national glory and is deeply rooted. In the hearts of the common people, they have experienced the rebellion of thieves and the change of Jiashen, what the Southern Ming court, what Ma Shiying Zuo Liangyu, all of them are thieves dressed in the coat of the Ming Dynasty.

burning, killing and looting, regardless of the life and death of the people, more than *** and thieves.

Compared with the two, although that Chongzhen has a bad record, and even exposes his dim and incompetent nature, he has made the people's lives miserable over the years.

But compared with thieves, puppet emperors and warlords, the common people think that the Ming Dynasty is better.

From the bottom of my heart, I still recognize Chongzhen.

Therefore, the people of Anqing City spontaneously took to the streets to welcome the Ming Emperor into the city.

And many people have heard about it now, Chongzhen has now become kung fu

Gai Shi, the Ming Emperor with boundless power.

Who doesn't want to catch a glimpse of the real dragon emperor?

After all, such an opportunity is rare in a century.

At this time, Chongzhen came out of the sedan chair and rode a group of free horses, wearing a dragon crown, wearing a dragon robe, and hanging the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist, next to Wang Chengen, who was accompanying him, and a group of masters of brocade guards.

Chongzhen frequently waved to the welcoming people.

At this time, some people in the crowd shouted Long live the Ming Emperor, and some people took the lead in gathering, and the sound shook the sky, Chongzhen walked a few streets, and he was still shouting behind him......

Chongzhen is excited, to be able to obtain the support of the people, is the greatest success, it seems that the public opinion is all to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is not exhausted.

When the world is pacified and these rebellious ministers and thieves are eliminated, I must make the Ming Dynasty prosperous and let the people live a good life.

Since the people have not lived up to the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely not fail the people.

However, the road under our feet is still very long, and taking Anqing is only the first stop, as well as Jiujiang and Wuchang, in addition to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, there are still many forces against Daming on the rivers and lakes.

The road of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty is a long way to go.

Chongzhen's heart was surging, and his thoughts were rolling.

Li Yan and others had already placed Chongzhen's temporary palace, and after entering Anqing, Chongzhen still ordered Wang Chengen to collect the prisoners, with Li Yan's assistance.

Inside and outside the city of Anqing City and on the riverbank, all of them are now the army of the Ming Dynasty.

In this battle of Anqing, Ma Jinzhong's 20,000 thieves were annihilated and more than 13,000 thieves were captured.

Now these Ming troops are still very busy, cleaning the battlefield, repairing the city defenses, burying the corpses, treating the wounded, and so on, and there are many affairs after the war.

In accordance with Chongzhen's will and in accordance with the usual practice, Wang Chengen and Li Yan fired two first sounds, stabilized the morale of the army, disrupted the order of the battle, and incorporated them into each battalion to supplement the combat attrition of the soldiers and horses of each battalion.

This time, according to Chongzhen's strategic plan, although Anqing was successfully taken, counting the casualties of the vanguard battalion, the Ming army also paid the price of nearly 10,000 casualties.

More than 10,000 prisoners were recruited, including a slight increase in the number of soldiers.

"Lin Xiaochun, a pawn in the army, two or two ......"

There were eunuchs and brocade guards, who were here to give out the money according to the roster, and all the captives lined up in several long lines, calling out whose name would receive it.

Chongzhen now has silver, each person will be issued for a month, two taels of silver, and the treatment is the same as that of the soldiers in Beijing.

These captives never dreamed that after being captured, Chongzhen forgave them all of their crimes, allowed them to continue to eat food and serve as soldiers, and gave them silver on the spot.

It's a treat they never dreamed of.

Some generals can't even eat a full meal, and they don't know that they haven't seen silver for a few months, and even if they send it once in a while, when it comes to their hands, they can't even receive a tael a month.

Therefore, they were all grateful with the silver, and they were grateful to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Ma Weixing? guerrilla, 30 taels."

The name caught Chongzhen's eye......

Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen
