Let's talk about the situation on Luo Rucai and Li Xuanzhu's side, at the end of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Xuanzhu led more than 10,000 soldiers and generals from the third town under his command to invade Sichuan, and conquered Kuizhou, seizing this important bridgehead into Sichuan.

Immediately, in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, at the beginning of the first year of Tianyuan, Luo Rucai also rushed back to Jingzhou to sit in the town, and began to enter Kuizhou in a steady stream of materials and soldiers and horses to support Li Xuanzhu's department.

Li Xuanzhu, a veteran, is now a very mature general, completely has the ability to take charge of himself, after leading the troops to capture Kuizhou, he began to march steadily in the direction of Chongqing Prefecture, first in January to lay down Wanxian (now Wanzhou) and then quickly captured Dazhou, in the battle of Dazhou, Li Xuanzhu encountered the Sichuan famous general Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling is a very famous member of Sichuan general, good at making a strong crossbow, with the title of the crossbow general, among the generals in Sichuan, The identity is second only to the female general Qin Liangyu, at this time, Zhang Ling is actually a seventy-year-old old man, but after Li Xuanzhu led the army into Sichuan, he was still ordered by Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, to go into battle, and led the army to resist Li Xuanzhu's large army in Dazhou.

Zhang Ling in the Dazhou area, led the officers and troops under his command and Li Xuanzhu to carry out a fierce battle, Zhang Ling is really a fierce general, in front of the two armies, even after the crossbow, a series of shot killed several generals under the command of Li Xuanzhu, almost led to the collapse of a group of men and horses under the command of Li Xuanzhu, but Zhang Ling's bravery after all can not withstand the sharp guns in the hands of the large Chinese army, when Zhang Ling led the army to try to assault the army under the command of Li Xuanzhu, the veteran Zhang Ling took the lead, and as a result, even if he was shot and fell to the ground, he was snatched back by his subordinates on the night, he died in the army, Immediately, the officers and troops under Zhang Ling's command collapsed on their own, and Li Xuanzhu was able to conquer Dazhou.

As soon as Zhang Ling died, it was undoubtedly a huge spiritual blow to the government and the official army in Sichuan, and Shao Jiechun was so frightened that he hurriedly sent someone to invite Qin Liangyu, a famous general in Sichuan and the general of Zhendong in Daming, and the white pole soldiers under his command to Chongqing Mansion to protect the safety of him and Chongqing Mansion.

And Qin Liangyu was already an old man of nearly seventy years old at this time, but she was still ordered to lead the five thousand white pole soldiers under her command to Chongqing Mansion to garrison.

But after Qin Liangyu saw Shao Jiechun, he couldn't help but sigh after hearing Shao Jiechun's plan, and said to his generals: "Shao Jiechun is a literati after all, and he doesn't know military affairs at all.

The best way to plan now is to gather troops, counterattack Kuimen, recover Kuizhou Mansion, knock out the Xingtian thief army from Kuimen, and defend Kuimen to save Sichuan! It's a pity that Governor Shao doesn't have this kind of insight, he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he doesn't dare to send troops to fight back. ”

Sure enough, after Li Xuanzhu took Dazhou in February, he began to divide his troops to use troops around Chongqing Prefecture, and defeated several Sichuan generals one after another, first taking Guang'an Prefecture in the north of Chongqing Prefecture, and then defeating Fuzhou in the east of Chongqing.

At the beginning of March, Li Xuanzhu basically led his troops to sweep away the prefectures and counties around Chongqing Prefecture, and it is true that Sichuan is rich; since Li Xuanzhu entered Sichuan, he almost no longer needed material support from the rear, and in addition to the need for ammunition supplements, it can be said that all the military salaries and grain were solved by themselves by relying on their seizures, and a large number of seized goods were continuously transported out of Sichuan and transferred to Wuchang Prefecture to be handed over to the General Logistics Department located in Wuchang Prefecture.

So the war for the victorious side, is a huge dividend of an action, to a certain extent, is also a driving force to promote the war, Xiao Tianjian let Li Zhuzhu attack Sichuan, in addition to not letting Li Zicheng seize Sichuan in advance, there is also through the attack on Sichuan, to obtain a large amount of property, to supplement the idea of his army's Northern Expedition, Sichuan has a developed water system, convenient irrigation, and has been less affected by natural disasters and military disasters in history, so Sichuan has been very rich before the end of the Ming Dynasty, the early years of Chongzhen of the Ming DynastyIn fact, the people of Sichuan are also very rich, rich people with thousands of wealth, in Sichuan is very much, in history Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, the plundered gold and silver property, it is said that it can fill hundreds of boats, although this rumor may not be true, but from one side also confirms the wealth of Sichuan.

Therefore, after Li Xuanzhu led the army into Sichuan, he didn't worry about the problem of not being able to collect food and salary everywhere he passed, so after entering Sichuan, he basically no longer needed the rear to provide too much material support for his soldiers and horses, and even if he did, he only needed ammunition supplements, plus their captures, sometimes even ammunition They could let the craftsmen with the army solve it themselves to a certain extent.

Shao Jiechun tried his best to hold Chongqing Mansion, but at the end of March, Li Xuanzhu still gathered his forces into Sichuan and began to launch a fierce attack on Chongqing Mansion.

Zhendong general Qin Liangyu led the troops to conduct the last decisive battle with Li Xuanzhu's headquarters outside the city of Chongqing, but unfortunately the white pole soldiers under Qin Liangyu's command were basically composed of pikemen, these stone pillar soldiers, although they were very brave and good at fighting under the leadership of Qin Liangyu, but when facing the very advanced armed Dazhong Army in this era, they could no longer reproduce their courage and invincibility, and the lack of long-range weapons made them have no fair chance to fight head-on with the Dazhong Army, Therefore, the result of the battle was that Qin Liangyu's troops were defeated and collapsed, and Qin Liangyu had to lead the remnants of the army, broke through and fled back to his hometown Shizhu, and was unable to fight with Li Xuanzhu as an enemy.

Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers were defeated, the military spirit of the entire Chongqing Mansion suddenly declined, Li Xuanzhu led his troops to storm the Tongyuan Gate of Chongqing Mansion, Shao Jiechun panicked, ordered to defend Chongqing Mansion, the defenders had no choice but to defend in the area of Tongyuan Gate, Li Xuanzhu stormed Tongyuan Gate for several days, and the angry Li Xuanzhu stood outside the city and scolded his mother, seeing that the defenders were arrows and stones on the city gate and the city wall, so that the soldiers under his command repeatedly attacked and frustrated, and the city walls of Chongqing Mansion were basically built of stone barriers, which were extremely tall and strong, and the bombardment could not collapse the city wall, Then it rained so hard that the siege had to be stopped.

Therefore, in March, Li Xuanzhu stopped outside the city of Chongqing, and failed to break the city for most of the month, until the end of March after Xiao Tianjian led the troops to the Northern Expedition, Li Xuanzhu used gunpowder to blow down a small section of the city wall around Tongyuanmen, and led his troops to attack the city of Chongqing.

As soon as Shao Jiechun, the governor, heard that the Tongyuan Gate had been broken, he immediately fled from Chongqing Mansion by boat from the water gate in the west of the city with his family members and fled to Chengdu Mansion, but the king of Rui and many officials in the city failed to escape, and most of them were captured by Li Xuanzhu and his troops.

Speaking of which, this Ruiwang Zhu Changhao is also an unlucky child, he was originally sealed in Hanzhong, and his Ruiwang Mansion was originally in Hanzhong, and the cultivation was extremely luxurious, but he didn't think that Hanzhong was occupied by Li Zicheng two years ago, Zhu Changhao fled from Hanzhong in a hurry, and ran into Chongqing Mansion in a smoke, and ran to Chongqing Mansion for the past two years.

After Li Xuanzhu caught King Rui, he learned that this guy had been in Chongqing Mansion for two years, and he had bullied and bullied the market inside and outside Chongqing Mansion with his identity, bullied men and women, and did bad things.

However, for the people in Chongqing, the Dazhong Army was as strict as ever, and did not commit any offence against ordinary people, and soon won the hearts of the people inside and outside Chongqing.

Legend has it that when Zhang Xianzhong captured Chongqing Mansion in history, he was ferocious, not only killed King Rui, but also killed the governor of Sichuan and all the officials in the city, even the people in the city did not let go, there was a massacre, even if they were alive, they also cut off their right hands, this matter does not know if it is true, but after the Dazhong Army arrived in Chongqing Mansion, the people here did not suffer any scourge, Li Xuanzhu entered the city and shouted, on the contrary, according to the old practice of the Xingtian Army, first opened a warehouse to give relief, and solved the problem of eating for the people inside and outside the city, Then they sent the gendarmes to raid the homes of some gentry and nobles and officials in the city, and seized a large amount of goods and food to meet the needs of their army.

At the beginning of April, Li Xuanzhu again led his troops out of Chongqing Mansion and began to attack Chengdu Mansion, and during the period when the Northern Expedition of the Northern Expedition of the Third Route in the North was in full swing, Li Xuanzhu conquered Chengdu Mansion again at the end of April and captured Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan.

Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, has come to an end, in history, Shao Jiechun was arrested and questioned by the imperial court because he failed to block Zhang Xianzhong from entering Sichuan, Shao Jiechun knew that he could not escape a knife, so he died in prison on the back of medicine! But in this era, Shao Jiechun can be regarded as completely loyal to the end, and after being caught by Li Xuanzhu, he scolded and did not surrender, and finally his head was cut off by Li Xuanzhu in anger.

So far, Sichuan has basically been controlled by the Great Chinese Army, and then Li Xuanzhu began to gradually clear the northern part of Sichuan, and gradually conquered the prefecture capital and county, to the first year of the Tianyuan October, Li Xuanzhu has basically taken the entire territory of Sichuan to most of the pocket.

As for Qin Liangyu, the general of Daming Zhendong, after the defeat of Chongqing Mansion, he led the remnants to withdraw to Shizhu's hometown, for her Tujia family, Li Xuanzhu also adopted a gentle policy according to Xiao Tianjian's opinion, did not send troops to invade the territory of their lives, and on behalf of the Dazhong Dynasty, recognized their status, and sent someone to send him the new Dazhong Dynasty to Qin Liangyu's body, continue to appoint Qin Liangyu as the Tusi, and retain the title given to her by the Ming Dynasty, all the treatment is the same.

Qin Liangyu was very loyal to the Ming Dynasty and refused to accept the sue given to her by the Dazhong Dynasty, but considering the survival of the clansmen in the future, and she also understood the horror of the Dazhong Army, so after the Chongqing Mansion was broken, she did not continue to lead the troops to fight again, and the Dazhong Army was the enemy, and the two sides did not invade each other for the time being, so that the Tujia people in Sichuan gradually appeased.

For Qin Liangyu, a famous female general and heroine of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Tianjian gave her great respect, after the battle of Chongqing, when cleaning the battlefield, Li Xuanzhu was ordered to give preferential treatment to the white pole soldiers who died in the battle and were wounded, and the wounded were given proper care and treatment, and the deceased collected his body, sent someone to let his family come to collect the body and transport it home for burial, and provided it with coffins and convenient passages, these measures made the Tujia people have no desire to continue to be enemies of the Great Middle Kingdom, and no one wanted to be buried with the Ming Dynasty. Although Qin Liangyu was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, after the defeat in the First Battle of Chongqing, the white pole soldiers under her command suffered heavy losses, and most of the people in the clan were unwilling to be enemies with the Xingtian Army, and after she returned to her hometown, she also had a serious illness, so the matter of crusading against the Xingtian Army for the Ming Dynasty was over.
