Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1013 Killing the traitor
The battle to attack Chengdu took less than two hours. The Ming army began to attack from the east at sunrise, and by noon, the Ming army had already entered Chengdu.

This siege battle can be said to be the easiest battle won by the Ming Army in the Southwest. People can't believe it. They didn't expect such a big city like Chengdu to fight so easily.

In fact, this is often the case in history. Although Chengdu is strong, the defense of Chengdu is not in Chengdu, but in the walls and fortresses outside the Chengdu Plain. Will surrender without a fight.

This has a lot to do with Sichuan's closed environment. Once the enemy breaks into the core, Chengdu has no ability to fight back. Once the momentum is lost, persistence is meaningless, and most of them choose to surrender.

The battle to capture Chengdu ended quickly, and the statistics are simple. The Jin army killed and injured less than 3000 people, and basically chose to surrender. The Ming army killed less than 500 people, and injured a little more, with more than a thousand people.Among them, the casualties during the fight with the defenders were a little less, and the main casualties came from the battle to kill Chen Ke at the North Gate.

Chen Ke and his more than 1000 surrendered troops had no intention of defending the city, but they wanted to escape from Chengdu. They did not try their best to defend the city, but fought desperately to break through, causing more than 200 deaths and hundreds of injuries to the Ming army. .

Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo entered the city, but the army did not slaughter the city, so they were welcomed by the gentry and the common people.The gentry and dignitaries in Chengdu flocked to the chief envoy's yamen, met with the two men, and asked about the Ming Dynasty's policy towards Chengdu.

Since the reorganization of the Kingdom of Jin, the policy of sinicization has been implemented, and there are a large number of Han ministers in power in the court, so the interests of the Han gentry in the Kingdom of Jin are protected and have not suffered much infringement. Now that the Ming army has entered Chengdu, they are eager to You must know the attitude of the Ming Dynasty towards them.

The generals who led the Ming Dynasty this time, Ma Jinzhong was from the Shun family, and Li Dingguo was from the Western army. After a few years, they were all bandits and the mortal enemy of the gentry class, especially Li Dingguo was from the Western army. Zhang Xianzhong’s Western army was in Chengdu. But killed many rich people and gentry.

It was precisely out of concern for the two that these gentry were worried and wanted to find out, so it was easy to deal with it.

Ma Jinzhong and the others were not good at appeasing, they just said that they would not kill indiscriminately, and would stabilize the order in the city as soon as possible. As for the imperial court's policy towards Chengdu and Sichuan, Governor Fan Yiheng of Sichuan and Governor Zhou Zhiwei of Sichuan would come to explain later.

After Li Dingguo entered the city, he asked people to put up the Anmin Notice, and at the same time sent troops to hunt down Chen Ke and others, as well as the surrendered generals from the Ming Dynasty, and prepared to liquidate them. Anyone who dared to hide would be treated as the same crime.

The officials of the Kingdom of Jin in the city were worried about being harmed by the rebellious soldiers, so they ran to the chief envoy's yamen one by one to seek asylum, and denounced Chen Ke's ignorance of current affairs to Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo.

Not long after, someone came to report that Chen Ke led the troops to break through from the north gate, was captured by Bai Wenxuan, and had already overwhelmed the outside of the yamen.

When the news reached the yamen, Ma Jinzhong and Li Dingguo were appeasing the group of Jin Guo demoted officials. When they heard that Chen Ke was caught, they were filled with righteous indignation, as if they had encountered a father-killing enemy, and demanded that Chen Ke be executed immediately.

These officials, who could have raised Chengdu to surrender, but now they have broken the city to vote, naturally hate Chen Ke to the core.

However, Li Dingguo frowned. Whether to kill Chen Ke or not was a matter of the Ming Dynasty and Zhongyi Town, and it was not up to them to dictate.

At that moment, he spoke to Ma Jinzhong, and the latter rejected the demoted officials, and then ordered his soldiers to escort Chen Ke and others into the hall.

Not long after, Chen Ke and other five generals were pushed and kicked into the hall by the soldiers with their hands cut behind their backs and their heads pressed down.

This is the Wuzhong army cleaning up the house, and the family ugliness is not publicized, so it is inconvenient for others to know. Ma Jinzhong waved his hand, and all the Shence Army generals in the hall followed him and left the hall.

As soon as the Shence Army left, the Zhongyi Township general in the hall immediately became furious. Yu Shizhong's son, Yu Youming, stepped forward and kicked, "Fuck your mother..."

Chen Ke was thrown to the ground by him at once. He had injuries on his body, and he neither struggled nor got up.

The generals on all sides said that they were conscious and knelt down one after another. When Yu Youming saw one of them, his face became more angry, "Zhi Niang, Zhao Dongjun, are you worthy of my father?"

Zhao Dongjun turned out to be Yu Shizhong's personal guard, and it was Yu Shizhong who trained him step by step from a small soldier in the guard.After Yu Shizhong's death, he served as a thousand household officer and also invested in Hezhou.

When Zhao Dongjun saw Yu Youming, his face suddenly changed, he lowered his head hurriedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Young general."

"Shameful thing, don't call me little general, why did you become a traitor at Zhenwei Camp in Zhongyi Town!" Yu Youming scolded angrily, "My father changed your name for you! I think you have What face do you have to meet my father in Jiuquan?"

Then Zhao Dongjun prostrated himself on the ground, with his forehead pressed to the ground, and suddenly cried, "Little General, the situation in Hezhou is beyond my control! You know, my wife is just pregnant, and my old mother is sick. , I can't die!"

"Bah, you pig and dog. You still remember your family. As soon as you invested money, the court canceled your meritorious service. Your mother knew that you were treasonous, so she died of anger on the spot! After arriving at her natal family, she remarried to Guizhou soon! What do you think you are doing?" Yu Youming cursed.

Zhao Dongjun felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this, he just fell to the ground and wept bitterly, his mind had already collapsed, and the faces of the other three generals turned pale when they heard this, presumably what happened to their family members was also the same.

The many generals in the hall looked at them with disdain, without much sympathy. The Five Loyalists received the highest treatment. If they took money and land from the court, they had to work for the court. This was morality.

At this time, Li Dingguo waved his hand to make Yu Youming retreat, and he got up and walked to the paralyzed Chen Ke.

"Bring him up!" Li Dingguo frowned. This guy was once a brave general in the Ming army. After going through the storm, he was a bit courageous. How come he looks like this now.

The two generals immediately lifted Chen Ke up rudely. Li Dingguo looked at him and said angrily, "Chen Ke, raise your head!"

Chen Ke was stabbed in the leg, and there seemed to be a wound on his chest. He listened to Li Dingguo's words, but hung his head and did not respond.

"Zhiniang thief, I told you to raise your head, do you hear me!" Seeing this, the generals next to him were all stern.

Chen Ke trembled all over, and then suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of hostility, "Li Dingguo, this is the end of the matter, I have nothing to say, you give me a good time, but I, Chen Ke, do things and do things for one person, and the court will give me a home People's rewards can be taken back in full, but don't affect my family!"

"You want to be beautiful!" Li Dingguo snorted coldly, "Your crime has already been determined by the imperial court. Your family members will serve as official slaves, the men will be exiled to Champa, and the women will serve as official prostitutes!"

Chen Ke was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help getting angry, struggling to say, "I have also made a lot of contributions to the imperial court. Hezhou was poor and surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin. Why did the imperial court treat me like this? Why didn't Zhao Dongjun's family members become slaves? , why do you want to harm my family?"

When Yu Youming heard this, he said angrily: "Well, you traitor, if you surrender to the enemy poorly, I will beg the general to give you a good time today. But are you only surrendering to the enemy? You fucking sold Yuan Duzhen and Jinwan brothers, you still want to protect your family, when you opened the city gate and killed Yuan Duzhen and Jinwan Paozhe, did you ever think about their families?" Speaking of this, Yu Youming asked Li Dingguo Handcuffing, "General, don't talk nonsense with him, let the last general kill him, so that the heroic soul of Hezhou can be honored, and the shame of my Zhongyi Town can be washed away!"

"General, kill him!" While speaking, the generals in the hall were furious and clasped their fists together.

Soldiers talk about fellowship and hate betrayal the most. When Chen Ke saw the scene in the hall, his face turned pale. He knew that he would not survive, and he said in panic: "Li Dingguo, I am an old man of the Five Loyalty Army, because of my qualifications Come on, give me a good time!"

Li Dingguo glanced at him, then glanced at the generals in the hall, but narrowed his eyes and said: "Take him out, and he will be punished by ten thousand arrows piercing his heart!"
