At this time, Zhu Yihai stood up from the imperial chair and said, "No need to search, I'm here." As he said that, he also walked to Tian Chu and said, "What do you want to deal with me."
Tian Chu nodded and said, "From now on, you have been all prisoners of the Chinese army, but our Chinese army has never abused and killed prisoners indiscriminately. Therefore, as long as you hand over your weapons and obey management, we can guarantee your life safety. Otherwise, we will continue to take care of the prisoner regulations and deal with it." As he said, a soldier around him handed a prisoner management regulations to Zhu Yihai, and then said, "Your situation is quite different. I may not impose custody on you, but from now on, your actions will be limited to the palace, waiting for the decision of superiors to handle it, and we will deliver food and food on time, but you must be honest and obedient."
After saying that, Tian Chu ordered that all the troops retreat to the palace, and then sealed the palace and sent a battalion of troops to guard it.

After Shang Kexi withdrew from Guangzhou, he was attacked by the Chinese army and was defeated. Under the protection of several trusted generals, Shang Kexi led hundreds of followers and finally escaped from the battlefield by luck. However, he did not dare to walk northeast to Conghua County, so he had to go north and escape to Qingyuan County. However, Qingyuan County was less than a hundred miles away from Guangzhou, and Shang Kexi did not dare to stay here for more. After only one day, he gave up Qingyuan County and continued to flee north, hoping to meet with Shang Zhixiao, the son stationed in Shaozhou Prefecture.
But this fashionable Xiaoji was defeated by the 12th Army of the Chinese Army, and Shaozhou was also lost. Shang Zhixiaozheng's men and horses fled to Guangzhou. Fortunately, the father and son were on the same route and met near Gaoshishan.
After meeting, Shang Kexi learned that Shaozhou had also lost, and felt even more frightened. He immediately decided to go east instead of going to the monk Zhixin of Huizhou Prefecture to join forces, and then make plans.
This fashionable letter is stationed in Longchuan County, Huizhou Prefecture. When my father and brother suddenly arrived here, I was shocked. After asking, I found out that Guangzhou and Shaozhou had been lost, and Guangdong had basically been lost. Now the father and son have become lonely ghosts and are in a state of despair.
Fortunately, the three of us gathered together, and the defeated soldiers led by us joined each other, and there were still more than 30,000 to 40,000 people. At this time, the Chinese army did not come to attack Huizhou Prefecture for the time being, so the three of us could also gather together to discuss what to do next.
The situation is now very obvious. Although there are still 30,000 to 40,000 troops, once the Chinese army attacked, Huizhou Prefecture would definitely not be able to defend itself. If you want to survive, you can only escape, and you have to find a way from the sea. Therefore, the father and son finally decided to give up Longchuan County and rush to Haifeng County, south of Huizhou Prefecture, and then find a boat to go out to sea. Because Haifeng County is close to the sea, there are many merchant ships and fishing boats along the coast of Guangdong. As long as you go to the sea, you can always find a boat to go out to sea. Since you go there after going out to sea, you can no longer care about so many, let’s go out to sea first.
But the large group of people cannot be brought. There are so many people that the goal is too big and the target is easily exposed. Secondly, it is impossible to find so many ships when brought these people to Haifeng County. Therefore, the father and the other two finally decided to give up the army and only select hundreds of elite soldiers and generals to escape.
So my father immediately took action, selected more than 500 soldiers and two generals, and robbed some food and money in Longchuan County. Then he still arrived at the army and left Longchuan County in the middle of the night and ran towards Haifeng County.
Just the day after Shang Kexi and his son ran away, Duan Peng led a large army to Longchuan County. When the remaining troops saw that the chief generals had run away, they had no intention of fighting again. Except for a very small number of them fled in scattered areas, most of them surrendered to the Chinese army. In the end, the Chinese army entered Longchuan County without any effort to find out that Shang Kexi's father had already escaped, but the soldiers did not know where their father had fled.
At this moment, Duan Peng also received a notice from Tian Chu that Guangzhou had been successfully attacked by the Chinese army, that the monarchs and ministers of the Yong'an court had been captured, and the other twelve armies also captured Shaozhou Prefecture. In this way, although Shang Kexi's father was unknown, the overall situation was basically settled for the war in Guangdong, and the Yong'an court was also destroyed by the Chinese army.
Duan Peng judged that Shang Kexi had no way to go on land now, and his only escape direction was at sea, so he immediately made a decision to leave the 16th Army to clear the remaining remnants of Shang Kexi in Huizhou Prefecture and look for Shang Kexi's whereabouts. At the same time, he ordered the navy to search for ships on the coastal areas of Guangdong. He led the 20th Army to Guangzhou to handle the aftermath matters.
Two days later, Duan Peng led his army to Guangzhou. After seeing Tian Chu, he heard him telling him about the capture of Guangzhou. In addition, all the money that Shang Kexi had accumulated to be taken away was captured by the Chinese army. Duan Peng was also very happy. In less than two months, Bi Jing conquered the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong, and they were both very smooth and did not spend much effort. It was also a great achievement.
During this period, Zhu Yihai was very obedient and stayed in the palace to drink and have a banquet every day. The ministers of the Yong'an court were also discouraged. Some took the initiative to ask for surrender to the Chinese army, and wanted to ask for a half-time position. Some closed their households at home without caring about the world. Duan Peng also ordered the continued strengthening of the guards of the palace and restricting Zhu Yihai's freedom, but in terms of life, he took care of them. The ministers of the Yong'an court were all recorded one by one and waited for the handling of Nanjing.
After the final statistics, the battle in Guangdong wiped out more than 13,700 Shang Kexi's troops, and the number of prisoners surrendered reached more than 70,000. In the battles of the Chinese army captured Qijian and Guangdong provinces, the total number of casualties was less than 2,000. Although these two thousand casualties were almost all caused in the battle in Guangdong, with such casualties, the grave occupied a province, which was definitely a small loss. However, due to the inability to adapt to the local conditions, many soldiers were sick, and a few soldiers who were seriously ill.
Therefore, Duan Peng sent back a report to Nanjing and sent all the summary information back to Nanjing. Following Hou Nanjing's next order, he ordered that officials from other places in Guangdong immediately came to Guangzhou to surrender to the Chinese army, and at the same time restored the living order in Guangdong Province as soon as possible. However, in the battle in Guangdong, although the Chinese army suffered not much casualties, the captured prisoners were as high as 60,000, which really gave Duan Peng a headache. Therefore, the army was reorganized and some of them were transferred to the people and resettled.
