Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 659 Courage
Therefore, because of Lao Zhang Chen Yin's great generosity, the situation began to get out of control.

No matter how rational the people above are, it will be of no use if the people below are all red-eyed.

The breakout period came as promised. After leaving Chengdu, the main force of the Great Western Army went straight to the Dujiangyan area in the northwest, while the Ming army pursued all the way after the Great Western Army withdrew from the defense line, and finally reached under the city of Chengdu.

Before the main general arrives, the forward of the Ming army, Yu Dahai, thinks that there is no one in the city, and immediately wants to go to the city, but he is severely beaten by the guard Ma Bao.

After being repelled, he was scolded.

The next step is to report back to the army, and to hand over the letters of some generals in the army to the black and yellow flag in the north of the city to negotiate with them.

The content of the negotiation naturally belongs to Chengdu.

The Ming army still wanted Chengdu.

But Zeng Ying, who followed the forward, still didn't even look at Chengdu, and led the troops directly towards Dujiangyan.

Said to be chasing the Great Western Army.

But the Ming army was already a little behind, and it was impossible to talk about chasing them.

Only the well-prepared Black Banner Army's pursuit was quite effective, but they didn't catch up with the main force. They just fought with some small troops wandering around the periphery of the army in the north of the Great Western Army, and they chased intermittently for a day and captured 500 people.

The number of troops stationed on the black and yellow flag is still not enough.

The next day, whether it was the black and yellow flag or the Ming army, the momentum of the two armies' pursuit came to an abrupt end in Dujiangyan.

The silver-sinking boats of the Western Army happened to send them across the river, and they were able to use these boats to stop the two armies on the water. Looking at the river water in Dujiangyan, the two armies felt that the river water reflected the brilliance of gold and silver.

"The gold, silver and jewels that are said to be tens of millions of taels are really heavy, you have a lot of courage, you old thief."

In the city of Chengdu, Liang Yu carried the money for the severed head from above in his arms, and he couldn't help muttering: "It's a search here, not to mention this little money, and it can't be spent."

As he said, he hit him left and right, and the city, which was considered quite popular, became a ghost city after being coerced by the army.

The rest of the hidden people huddled together, and opened some shops and kilns, but the prices were extremely high.

I don't know where the courage came from.

But is Lao Zhang really courageous?
The silver has sunk, there must be some.

But Zhang Xianzhong, who had already retreated to the other side of Dujiangyan, was reluctant to leave, and stood on the other side of the Dividing Dike, wailing towards the Chenyin River.

"My gold and silver!"

It's like a cuckoo singing blood and an ape whining.

While screaming and jumping.

Who doesn't care about money?

"My Chengdu!!"

This is even more hysterical, and the eyes are tearing apart.

Lao Zhang was fine before, but now he is jumping his feet in distress, beating his chest and stamping his feet, unable to control himself, crying with snot and tears, and even almost fainting.

Accompanied by the Fourth General Daxi, he wanted to cry when he saw his adoptive father, but Zhang Xianzhong stopped him.

"A good man doesn't shed tears! Get lost! Go away!"

Lao Zhang cried deeply, and he wailed for more than ten minutes before he calmed down. He mourned his gold, silver, jewelry and Chengdu. Afterwards, the Great Western Army continued to retreat to the west and broke into many Tibetan chieftains west of Chengdu. territory.

Because the previous chieftain's rebellion led to Daxi's cleansing of the surrounding area, the chieftain here is very obedient.

The Daxi Army then stationed in Hexi, Yutong, and Ningyuan Xuanweisi, four hundred miles away from Chengdu.

Lao Zhang's courage sometimes disappears.

But the effect of abandoning Chengdu and a large amount of gold and silver is excellent.

The Ming army and the Black Banner army stopped chasing Dujiangyan.

The first batch of large troops of the two armies ignored Chengdu directly, and after arriving in Dujiangyan, they began to search for ships in the local area, during which conflicts inevitably broke out.

The result was a big victory for the Ming army.

Still winning more with less, repelled the Black Banner Army with extremely tenacious fighting will, snatched a small boat from them, and beheaded five ranks.

With the boat, the first reaction of the soldiers of the two armies was to go into the water to fish for silver, so another conflict broke out on the water.

The two sides shot at each other, and the water battle lasted for half a day, causing losses to each other.

At this time, the generals of the two armies finally realized that before the generals in the rear reached the front line, the two armies had to stabilize first.

So Black and Yellow Banner Lazhangjing Chen Lie wanted to negotiate with Ming General Zeng Ying, so he stopped first.

In the end, he was attacked by Zeng Ying's troops that night!In the middle of the night when the two armies fought, Zeng Yingfang retreated, and before retreating, he even snatched some ships found by the black and yellow flags.

Chen Lie, who was originally a surrendered general of the Ming army, was very annoyed and wanted to lead his army to fight back, but Zhu Cihong arrived at the front line in Chengdu the next day.

In the evening of the same day, several generals in charge of the Ming army, Zheng Chenggong, Mu Tianbo, Yang Zhan and others arrived in Chengdu.

The scene immediately stabilized.

It's also weird.

On one side is the genuine Ming army.

On one side is the black and yellow flag belonging to King Song, but this King Song is subject to the black flag Daqing, and he is the eldest son of the former emperor Chongzhen and the prince before the Ming Empire.

At first glance, the chances of a peaceful resolution of the dispute are high.

Before the people from the Ming army arrived, the letter persuading them to surrender arrived first.

Many generals took turns sending letters to the generals on the side of the black and yellow flag, especially the chief general Zhu Cilang, to persuade him to surrender.

Now the two parties are gathered under the city of Chengdu.

Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty, went directly to the front of the Black and Yellow Banner's camp that night and asked the soldiers to report that he wanted to see the King of Song.

Zhu Cihong was about to fall asleep, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy when he heard the words, so he hurriedly asked someone to bring Mu Tianbo to him.

"Your Highness! I won't return at this time! When will I wait!"

Mu Tianbo's complexion is slightly brown, he is strong and capable, but he is full of elegance and elegance. When he sees Zhu Cihong, Mu Tianbo has a sincere look on his face.

The two are considered to be of the same generation, one is the twelfth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the other is the eleventh grandson of Mu Ying.

So Mu Tianbo is Zhu Cihong's elder brother.

Just coming here alone to advise, Zhu Cihong felt speechless and couldn't find any good excuses.

His mind was hot and his mouth was open, thinking whether to tell about his father.

But reason told him that it was impossible at all, so he could only remain silent for now.

On the opposite side, Mu Tianbo had already started citing scriptures.

It seems that the plan is to start from Zhu Yuanzhang's generation and talk all the way down, so that his younger brother, who in his opinion has gone astray without knowing it, will know his way back.

".The generals and schools around His Highness are all former ministers. I also heard that they all entered the black and yellow flag because they heard that they could serve in His Highness's army. Before that, there were those who committed suicide, and there were also hunger strikers.
His Highness is now fighting to break the ground, so it can be seen that at this time he is returning to the Ming Dynasty with a black and yellow flag, and the black chieftain is far overseas in the Japanese country, and the army will kill the western thieves first!Take heavy silver from Dujiangyan to reward the army!If you send your troops northward, you can go straight to the capital!The capital can be restored!The territory of the Ming Dynasty can be restored! ! "

indeed.

Now Zhu Cihong returned to Daming to kill Zhang Xianzhong, and then marched northward with the Ming army. If he really regained the capital, then Daming would be able to return to the state of Chongzhen's early years in an instant.

The overall situation is better than before.

But yeah.
Zhu Cihong smiled wryly, and was about to reply, but heard that it was urgent outside the tent!
Mu Tianbo showed a triumphant smile on his face, sat down and took a sip of tea, looking confident.

"Master! The Ming army has attacked the city! It has already entered the city!!"
