In addition to Wu Sanfu, the Ming general who surrendered to Shun also had the mighty general Guo Yunlong, who was under Wu Sangui. He brought Wu Sangui's letter to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and asked Dorgon for help, telling Shanhaiguan that time that he had a letter of failure and reality.

There were more than 3,000 former Guanning Army soldiers and more than 600 war horses who surrendered with Wu Sanfu and Guo Yunlong.

Zuo Pan'an, the admiral of the Fourth Army of Shun Army in Jingzhou City, was overjoyed to hear the news and went out to greet him personally. He also built a high altar outside the city to kill the cows, intending to continue to lure Wu Sangui's subordinates in this way.

As Wu Sanfu, as Wu Sangui's brother, betrayed Wu Sangui's surrender, which shows how pessimistic the situation within the Guanning Army was.

Guo Yunlong even cried outside the city and said, "In the past, the crime of lard was so heartbroken that he followed Wu Ni to lead the East to the Pass, which caused Yanjing to change its lords. Emperor Yongchang rushed to the west, and then it was difficult for Xiangjing. This crime was indeed an unforgivable crime. Now he was treated well by the general and Dashun. The crime was frightened, but he used this body as Dashun to pacify Wu Ni, and he washed away the previous crime!"

Wu Sanfu and Guo Yunlong's rebellion shocked the land of Jingchu, and also made Wu Sangui furious and in chaos.

If the Shun Army could treat Wu and Guo well at this time, and use the two to surrender and increase their efforts to induce Wu Sangui's troops, it would definitely play a great role and could even collapse the Wu Sangui group in one fell swoop.

However, when the Fourth Army general Wu Sanfu and Guo Yunlong surrendered to the Imperial Camp, Lu Si was silent and issued a secret edict, ordering the general Wu Sanfu, Guo Yunlong and the surrendered Wu army to kill all the officers above the general, without leaving any one. All the remaining people were organized to disperse the troops and not allowed to reunite.

Although Zuo Pan'an, who received the secret edict, set up a banquet to trick Wu Sanfu, Guo Yunlong and others into the edict, and then the swordsman and axe attacked 37 officers below Wu Sanfu.

Lu Si did not explain much to the Fourth Army about why he wanted to kill Wu Sanfu, Guo Yunlong and others. At this time, he did not pay much attention to the war in Jingxiang, but was busy reviewing several memorials transferred from Beijing by the Tongzheng Envoy.

The Censor of the Censorate, Wan Chunyuan, impeached the Jinan Tong magistrate Song Shibing, and the magistrate Jiang, who embezzled and abused the people.

Lu Si ordered: "Everyone who is stolen is hateful, and they are all tigers and wolves under a gauze. If they are not severely punished, why should people live? They will be dismissed from their posts and promptly resolved the capital, investigated the recovery of stolen money and replenished wages, and then the Ministry of Justice is a typical example of the righteousness of the Ministry of Justice."

Another censor reported that Gansu Governor Wang Zhaoling had a prison sentence, and several times led 70% of the former Ming officials and gentry to the prison, expending their money and grain, and confiscating the private property of officials and gentry, causing great public grievances.

Lu Si issued an instruction: "The previous Gansu report that there are many reactionary gentry among the people, so I want Gansu to do it seriously. Now it seems that Gansu has the intention to misinterpret my intention, and it is not advisable to crack down on it. The Censorate sent people to Gansu to investigate. If there is any, it will be corrected, and if there is no, it will be best."

He also ordered an edict to be issued by the governor of Gansu, Wang Zhaoling, and said, "I used to tell you not to kill people or arrest people randomly. Why didn't you listen? If you govern the world, farmers, workers, men and merchants should be treated fairly and should not be prejudiced and saved. This edict is said to you. Don't investigate the old things 17 years ago in Chongzhen. You should also treat the former Ming officials and gentry differently and not attack them in one piece. In the future, you should not open a prison without any ruling. If there are reactionary gentry, you should also investigate and deal with them according to the law. Remember."

Since the Third Army He Zhen's troops entered Xiangyang, the military discipline was really strict and did not violate the people. Lu Si was very happy and issued an edict to commend him.

In Jingzhou, due to the occupation of Jingzhou and the Ming army in Hunan retreating south, the Ming army in the territory had no solid ambitions and fled four times.

The main force of the Fourth Army was more than 10,000 troops heading north to Jingmen. The Ming general in the city was guarded by the former Manchu Zhenghuang Banner Jia Laezhen Guibao. However, six or seven out of ten Manchurian soldiers escaped, and there were no soldiers available for the city defense.

There were Li Yongmao, the former governor of Jiangxi of Ding Youjingmen, and others recruited more than 3,000 people to help the city, and Chen Yiqing, the prefect of Zhongxiang, led 2,000 people to help the city.

When the Shun Army arrived at the city, they sent envoys to persuade the surrender. Gui Bao, Li Yongmao and others did not respond. Chen Yiqing suggested that when the Shun Army first arrived, they would not be able to stand firm and send all the heroes from the city out of the city to attack their spirits.

Gui Bao accepted this suggestion and sent all the soldiers in the city to help the guards and 7,000 soldiers out of the city, but they were defeated. The defeated army of Shunjun rushed into the city, killed Gui Bao, and hung the Ming Dynasty officials such as Li Yongmao and Chen Yiqing on the top of the city.

In June, a unit of the Fourth Army captured Yicheng County south of Xiangyang, and at this point Xiangyang became an isolated city.

On the 11th, the main forces of the Shun Army on the western front, the third, the fourteenth, the fourth, and the fifth army each and the second artillery town launched a general attack on Xiangyang City.

The Third Army attacked the West Gate; the Fourteenth Army attacked the East Gate; the Fifth Army attacked the North Gate; the Fourth Army attacked the South Gate.

In this battle, in addition to using a large number of artillery, the ground-digging and explosion method was also used.

The Ming army defended the city and resisted stubbornly. At the third o'clock that night, the Shun army used explosion methods to blow up a section of the city wall of the north gate, and the east gate also climbed up the ladder, but the Ming army still resisted to the death.

The generals and generals of the Shun Army urged their subordinates to fight from the Breakthrough Head to the city. By noon the first day, the Ming army in the city could not resist the enemy and Xiangyang was lost.

Henan Governor Song Xiance knew that there was no reason to survive, so he threw himself into a pond before Shunjun broke through the city. Wuchang prefect Niu Jinxing entered a temple in the city to death, and his son Niu Qi died in the chaos. At the same time, the victims were Peng Faxiang, the Jingxiang Road of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Weijing, the head of the Ministry of Personnel.

The Manchu general Boluo, the Xiangyang garrison, led hundreds of remaining soldiers to resist at the state government where Li Zicheng founded the country. The Shun Army organized many attacks and was repelled by Boluo. Later, a large amount of tincture oil was transferred, and firewood was piled up outside the government to set fire outside the government.

As the fire spread and thick smoke was dense, the Ming army in the inner city was either burned or choked to death.

By the evening when the fire stopped, Shunjun found hundreds of burnt corpses.

In this battle, the Shun Army used its main force to wipe out more than 10,000 troops from Xiangyang's defenders, and seized a lot of money, grain, and weapons.

On the fifteenth day, Emperor Longwu of Dashun entered the city with the loess pure land outside Xiangyang City.

After entering the city, Lu Si immediately ordered people to set up an incense table to worship Li Zicheng when he was killed, and carried the long-established gold and wood coffin to the city to accommodate Li Zicheng's mummy found in a temple in the city.

On that day, tens of thousands of soldiers from the three armies were all dating, and Xiangyang was solemn inside and outside.

The loss of Xiangyang made the remnants of Ajige, west of Suizhou, become turtles in the jar.

On the 18th, Lu Si issued an imperial edict, telling the Ajige tribe that he could save his life if he was sent to surrender, but Ajige alone refused to forgive him.

"This war criminal butcher, please be snatched!"

On the 22nd, Ajige, who was unwilling to be trapped in the Jedi, led his remnants to try to go south from Suizhou to capture Anlu City occupied by Shang Kexi, and then retreated to Wuchang through this place.

It is known that Shang Kexi's troops, which were captured by Dashun in Xiangyang, burst out with fierce combat power. They fought with Braidzi for one day. There were countless corpses accumulated under Anlu City, but Braidzi soldiers were still unable to break the city.

With the arrival of the 13th Army of the Shun Army, Ajig's last hope of fleeing south was extinguished. Instead of being firmly blocked in Suizhou, the Shun Army was everywhere, and it was really hard to escape.
