Chapter 20 The Battle of Xiangyang Ends

The battle in the city was coming to an end, and only a few hundred rebels were left. They broke through the defense lines of the official army and entered the houses to be trapped.

The officers and soldiers began to work together to clean up. Those who surrendered surrendered, and those who surrendered were completely wiped out. The room where Zhang Xianzhong was located instead resisted fiercely.

The rebel army has been around for so long, and the leaders have all come down from the waves, so their military force is naturally not weak.

Seeing that they could not attack for a long time, the Jin Yiwei became anxious. At the command of the small flag of the musketeers, they fired several rounds indiscriminately.

"Sir, the resistance here is fierce. We seem to have killed all the big fish."

"What? You idiots, look at your shit."

After hearing the report from his men, Zhou Xi rushed into the yard that was being cleaned and looked at Zhang Xianzhong who was kneeling on the ground. He felt dizzy and also knelt on the ground.

"How much is a dead person worth? How much is a dead person worth? Why is my journey to the capital so difficult!"

Ma Xianglin was very excited, because with his own soldiers, more than ten people captured Luo Rucai alive.

"Hahaha, my Ma family has made another great achievement."

Zhou Xi came out and looked at Ma Xianglin with envy. The city began to re-defense, and King Xiang and King Guiyang came with their guards.

Wang Cheng once sent someone to take the heads of Zhang Xianzhong and his two other godsons and hang them outside the archery tower.

"The rebels outside the city are listening. Zhang Xianzhong and others have been killed. Li Dingguo, Luo Rucai and others have surrendered.

If you want to survive, you should obediently lay down your weapons and accept reorganization. Your Majesty has decreed that those who go out due to disasters will be pardoned. Do you hear me? It is not considered a rebellion before you attack the city.

General Zuo Liangyu’s army from Yang Ge’s Department is on the road. Surrender! If you run around and encounter them, you will hit them with flying eggs."

The rebels who were still burning and killing in the outer city were stunned when they heard the shouting. In the chaos, Zhang Xianzhong's loyalists led people to swim across the river and launch an attack on the inner city.

The remaining refugees who were held hostage by the rebels dispersed the governors who controlled their families, and took their families to either flee or surrender.

Luo Rucai and Li Dingguo ordered people to go out of the city to persuade them to surrender. The people who could persuade them to surrender at this time were all their future subordinates, so they couldn't help but be careless.

After receiving the news, Zuo Liangyu finally arrived with his troops in the afternoon. He happened to encounter the remnants of the retreating rebels and immediately began to fight into a group.

On February 5, the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the magistrate of Xiangyang and King Xiang of the Ming Dynasty guarded Zhang Kejian, and Shizhu Xuanwei envoy Ma Xianglin, who was fighting away from home.

Under His Majesty's wise guidance, he designed to lure the rebels and killed 2,247 rebels. Li Dingguo surrendered, the leader of the rebels Luo Rucai and other 200 people were captured, and Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang and others were executed.

Li Dingguo, Luo Rucai and others persuaded more than 4,000 rebels to surrender. Zuo Liangyu killed more than 2,000 bandits. After reorganization, they could support Luoyang, Henan.

The news was rushed 800 miles, detoured through the canal, and arrived in the capital on February 7. It was first reported to the palace. The Ministry of War and the Cabinet then learned of the news and summoned the capital. The capital was instantly shocked.

The history of the Ming Dynasty began to change from this moment on.

In the Forbidden City, Chongzhen was listening to Wang Chengen's report in the tidy East Factory, and the intercom on Wang Chengen's waist rang.

Eunuch Wang, Eunuch Wang, this is Renwei, please answer if you hear me, please pick up the emperor, Xiangyang 800 miles is urgent.

I'm here. I'll report the military situation immediately and bring people over. I'm in the Royal Horse Prison.

At the gate of the palace, the Jin Yiwei, who had been hurrying for 800 miles, was holding a letter. He looked at the eunuch guarding the gate with a stupid look, and spoke with a black box. In the harsh voice, there was the emperor's reply.

"Nuo, here you go, this thing can be directly contacted by the Emperor. Report to the Emperor quickly and I will take you to the Royal Horse Prison."

Taking the small box, Jin Yiwei carefully reported the news about Xiangyang. Upon hearing this, Chongzhen in the room was extremely happy and asked the young eunuch to go to the harem to report the good news, while he opened the chat window.

"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper, Xiangyang has been defended. Because of the detailed information you provided, the Xiangyang magistrate and Shizhu Xuanwei envoy planned, and all the thieves and chieftains were executed."

"Chen Ye: Congratulations, Xiangyang was defended, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were killed, and now only Li Zicheng is left.

As long as Yang Sichang is alive, you can contain him. You have time to start preparing for the battle of Songjin. Li Dingguo can be used. These rebels are your best weapon to kill Xungui in the future."

There are few rebels with large assets, so they are the least resistant to reform.

"Chongzhen: I also ask the shopkeeper to help me. I plan to make the shopkeeper the God King of the Protector of the Country, build a golden body for the shopkeeper, and be worshiped by my Ming Dynasty incense forever."

Chongzhen thought about it, the value of the things that seemed to be given to the immortals and the various magical weapons that the immortals could give him were too unequal.

No one in the whole world can make these things, so he asked the world to worship Chen Ye, which should be able to deepen the immortal's skills, right?

When Chen Ye saw the news about Chongzhen, he was completely stunned.

"Chen Ye: No, no, no, just give me the money you spent to build the golden body. You don't need to support me, I'm not dead yet."

"Chongzhen: There is always someone to thank the shopkeeper. I selected some books from the previous dynasty and got several rare woods. I will collect them and give them to the shopkeeper.

It will take time to copy the Yongle Grand Ceremony, so I will order the Ministry of Etiquette to hurry up and at the same time send people to Nanjing to look for these things for the shop owner."

"Chen Ye: That's a lot of trouble! I've also asked my friends to get two good books for you. The wood is expensive, and you still have to calculate the money. My dear brother, I will settle the accounts."

The messenger who had traveled eight hundred miles was led to Chongzhen. When he saw the emperor, the messenger reported the battle situation even more excitedly.

Chongzhen applauded loudly for all the details, as well as Ma Xianglin's various strategies and arrangements, and at the same time he had a better understanding of his own abilities.

"Go down, Gao Banban, I'll reward you with a hundred taels."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The messenger felt that it was worth it. After this trip, one hundred taels was enough to buy a few acres of good land in his hometown.

Later, he will sing it all over the city, and he will receive a lot of rewards. It is not in vain that his butt is completely bald, and he arrived before Luo Yangxing.

After the messenger left, Chongzhen picked up the walkie-talkie again and started to tune to Wang Chengen's channel.

Wang Banban, Wang Banban, I am your boss, are you ready with the wood I asked you to prepare? It’s over!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am ready, and I discovered that there is a beam in the West Palace Side Hall. The wood is made of fine small-leaf sandalwood. I will take a photo and show it to you. I'm done!

"The fine small-leaf sandalwood is worth a lot of yuan, right? I wonder if the shop owner will be happy if this side hall is demolished."

Chongzhen murmured, then laughed again.

"Pfft, I actually already have 80 million."

"High companion, high companion."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Immediately go to the inner treasury and withdraw ten thousand taels of silver notes to the Ministry of Rites, and ask them to send someone to copy the Yongle Ceremony again.

At the same time, a letter was sent to Nanjing and compared with the catalogue, no omissions were allowed to be heard."

"I understand."

Asking for votes, asking for all kinds of votes.
