At dusk, the battlefield gradually quieted down, and in the afterglow of the setting sun, the ground was covered with corpses with weapons, and the world was bleak.

On the battlefield, the Wei soldiers raised their weapons high, and made a call all over the mountains and fields, and the buzzing sound could be heard for more than ten miles.

The Wei soldiers walked through the corpses, collected the weapons scattered on the ground, looked for the wounded, and the people loaded bundles of spears, muskets, and knives onto carts, dug out large pits, buried the corpses, and cleaned up the battlefield.

The coalition soldiers were escorted away by the Wei army in frustration, a team of soldiers escorted a general wearing heavy armor walked by, Gao Yihuan rode a horse and stood aside, raised his hand to stop the soldiers, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Your Majesty, it's Liu Wenxiu, the king of Funan of the Zhou army!" The military academy headed Gao Yihuan saluted, turned his head to look at Liu Wenxiu and said.

Gao Yihuan urged the horse over, looked at Liu Wenxiu who was wearing a cloak, and said with a smile: "Wenxiu, what do you have to say if you fall into my hands today?" ”

Liu Wenxiu raised his head to look at Gao Yihuanzhi's smug face, and sighed: "Becoming a king or defeating a king, I have nothing to say, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect." ”

Gao Yihuan seemed to be in a good mood, still smiling, "You are also a Chinese hero, you don't deserve to die of internal friction, how can I kill you." After speaking, Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Take it down, don't be rude!" ”

After saluting the military academy at the head, he took the soldiers to escort Liu Wenxiu away.

At this time, Chen Mingxia said with a smile: "In this battle, many prisoners of war have been obtained, and there are only more than 100,000 people, what does Your Majesty plan to deal with?" ”

Gao Yihuan thought for a while, "It depends on whether Jin Shenghuan and Xu Heihu can catch Zhu Cihong and Sun Kewang." If they are caught, these captives can be sent back to their hometowns, if Zhu Cihong is allowed to run away, as Zhu Cihong Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there will be another storm, so some people can't be easily released! ”

Chen Mingxia smiled, "Actually, the minister wants to persuade Your Majesty that no matter whether Zhu Cihong and Sun Kewang are captured or not, these captives cannot be released." The minister just noticed that many of these captives were natives from the southwest. If they are released, they will return to the mountains and forests, and strengthen the Tusi power, which is not conducive to the southwest of the imperial court. Therefore, the ministers thought that it was better to send them to the north to cultivate the land, and not to abuse them, and to treat them the same as tenants. Besides, in the more than 270 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the troubles in the south, the people are actually relatively wealthy, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty will not be easily eliminated, so it is best not to let the prisoners of the Ming army go, and it is advisable to move to the north together with their dependents. ”

Although Chen Mingxia's buttocks sat on the side of the noble landlords in the north, Gao Yihuan had to admit that there was some truth in what he said.

At present, the population in the north is small and the population in the south is large, and it is indeed necessary to relocate some people, and in the future, it is necessary to fill the Liao with the people, which requires a large number of people.

At this time, Li Dingguo had occupied the entire Liaodong, but Liaodong was barren, uninhabited for thousands of miles, and there was no one in Liaodi, so it was meaningless for the Wei army to control Liaodi, and it was easy to be infiltrated by the savages in the north and the Koreans in the east.

Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "Okay, for this matter, Mr. will write an excerpt." ”

Saying that, Gao Yihuan looked around the battlefield and couldn't help sighing, after this battle, the general trend of the world will be returned to the Great Wei, the Ming Dynasty will become history, and the Zhou State will not be able to threaten his country.

Gao Yihuan pulled the reins of the horse, and was full of spirit, "I will hand it over to Mr. to clean up here, I will beat the water dog and march to Guangzhou!" ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan waved his horsewhip and galloped away, followed by the cavalry behind him, rolling up a cloud of yellow dust.

In the Battle of Nanling, the Wei army defeated 300,000 Ming and Zhou coalition troops, beheaded tens of thousands of people in Shaoguan alone, and captured 150,000 Ming and Zhou coalition troops.

Sun Kewang suffered the greatest loss in this battle, 200,000 troops, most of the losses, only 50,000 people escaped to the southwest, he was angry that the Ming army fled first, ransacked the prefectures and counties along the way and retreated into Guangxi, and the Ming army turned against each other.

Zhu Cihong saw that the battlefields on both wings were passive, and felt that there was no hope of victory, so Huang Degong ordered the withdrawal of the army, but was pursued and killed by the Wei army and the horse army, from Shaoguan to Yingde, the corpse was ambushed for more than 100 miles, and half of the men and horses were lost.

Zhu Cihong was afraid of the Wei cavalry, and did not dare to enter the flat Guangzhou area, so he ran directly to Zhaoqing, and then went to Gaozhou and Leizhou to go to Qiongdao to temporarily avoid the Wei army.

The defeat at the front made the Southern Ming court in Guangzhou extremely shocked.

Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, saw that Zhao Daxian, the Wei general in the east, had already arrived in Huizhou, and the main force of the Wei army in the north was rolling in again, and was about to come to the city.

A number of civil and military officials in the city of Guangzhou, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, fled to Zhaoqing in a hurry, and planned to pass through here, all the way south, to Qiongzhou.

In fact, long before the decisive battle, Zhu Cihong had no confidence in his heart, so he secretly ordered the university scholar Lu Zhenfei to secretly transport supplies to Qiongzhou, and some ministers were also prepared and fled to Qiongzhou by land and water.

On 20 November, Jin Shenghuan, Xu Heihu and other generals led tens of thousands of Wei troops to the city of Guangzhou.

The Wei scouts had already received news that most of the officials and troops in the city had fled, and Gao Yihuan attached great importance to Guangzhou, an important Lingnan town, and asked the vanguard to take over the city of Guangzhou by peaceful means as much as possible.

The continuous pursuit made Jin Shenghuan's face tired, but his bloodshot eyes still gave out a fierce gaze.

He looked at the defenders in the city from afar, his expression was cold, and he said to Xu Heihu beside him: "Didn't you say that they all ran away, how do you look at the posture, it seems that they are not ready to surrender!" ”

Xu Heihu spat on the ground, "Most of the Ming army broke and fled, and I don't have many troops in Guangzhou City, if Guisun doesn't surrender, Lao Tzu will beat him down with a charge." ”

Jin Shenghuan frowned, "Your Majesty said that if you want to take over Guangzhou peacefully, I think it's better to surrender first!" ”

Xu Heihu turned his head and shouted: "You guys, go to the city and shout, let those birds open the city and surrender, you can avoid death!" ”

Several Wei cavalry immediately galloped out, but before they reached the city, a burst of firearms came at the head of the city.

Two days later, Gao Yihuan led the main force to the northern suburbs and joined forces with Jin Shenghuan and Hu Dawei.

"Your Majesty, there is no sign of surrender in the city so far, it seems that they want to resist to the end!" As soon as Gao Yihuan entered the big tent, Jin Shenghuan, who followed up, hurriedly reported.

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "What's the matter, the remnants of the army are defeated, and they dare to fight against the heavenly soldiers." Has there been a defeated army entering the city? ”

"If there is no defeated army entering the city, the minister estimates that there are only a few thousand remnants!" Jin Shenghuan said busily.

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Thousands of remnants of soldiers dare to fight against my 300,000 army!" Say, what the hell is going on? ”

Jin Shenghuan explained: "Your Majesty, it's because there is a king of the Southern Ming Domain in the city, who is unwilling to surrender and defends the city with the remnants of the army. ”

Gao Yihuan became interested, "Which vassal king!" ”

Jin Shenghuan said: "Tang King Zhu Yujian! ”

Gao Yihuan was silent for a while, walked a few steps in the tent, and sighed: "Courage is commendable, attack the city tomorrow and capture him." ”
