The impact of the first battle of Lintong was very huge, because of the collapse of the main force of the Jin State, resulting in Chang'an had no troops to defend, and the prince of the Jin State, Qi Zheng, fled west to Qianzhou under the support of the third son of Jierharang, and some Manchu and Mongolian nobles, preparing to erect a banner against the Ming.

If Haoge has three longs and two shorts, these people plan to follow the example of the old Tang Dynasty, support the crown prince to ascend the throne, and then find the Western Regions to borrow troops to fight against the Ming army.

Kong Wenfu, a bachelor who was ordered to stay in Chang'an, failed to shoulder the responsibility of organizing defense in Chang'an, but chose to commit suicide to escape the reality of losing his country.

Under this crisis, the ministers of the Jin State who have some ability have basically been sent out, and the Kong Wenfu who was left behind is the most incompetent, and he is also in charge of the mouth cannon department like the Ministry of Rites, he is disheartened in the face of the Ming army rushing to Chang'an, and he just wants to have a good reputation and chooses to die.

Most of the Jin officials in Chang'an City fled, and the remaining part felt that Jin had no future, so they surrendered directly to Wang Yan, so that after a lapse of fifteen years, Chang'an City was able to recover without blood.

However, although Chang'an was taken, the Ming army still faced many problems, in addition to pursuing the Jin army to the west, the combination of the displaced people in Guanzhong and the Jin army would also become a huge hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty.

During the Chongzhen period, the Liukou was able to become bigger, in addition to natural disasters and man-made disasters and other reasons, the border army of the Ming Dynasty joined the Liukou, which was also a major reason.

On the third day of the fifth month, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Jin State led hundreds of officials to raise the seal outside the east city of Chang'an and surrendered.

Wang Yan first sent a large army into the city, and after controlling the streets, government offices and palaces, he rode into the city at dusk.

On both sides of the city gate, there are officials of the Jin State who have taken off their official hats and knelt on the ground, and Wang Yan is riding his horse slowly, enjoying the glory of entering Chang'an City.

However, after entering the city, there was no cheers to welcome the king, no welcome with lanterns, and no pot pulp, but the scene was relatively deserted, and there were only two words "depression" in the eye.

This time the Mingjin War had a huge impact on Chang'an, the household registration in the city was sharply reduced, and the market was half empty, which can be said to be a depression in all industries.

Wang Yan wore gold armor, surrounded by many generals, beating horses and walking slowly on the street, every five feet on both sides of the street, there was a soldier standing with a spear with his back to the street, and there were also Ming soldiers on the houses next to the street to keep watch to protect Wang Yan's safety.

On the entire street, except for the ten soldiers of the Ming army and the vehicles that fell to the ground, and the scattered dead branches and leaves, there was no one figure.

This is for safety reasons, and people are forbidden to go on the streets, but also because there are really no people, and even if there are people, most of them will not come to welcome them.

The Ming Dynasty has lost Guanzhong for fifteen years, and the younger people have no image of the Ming Dynasty at all, and do not think that they are Ming people, and the older ones are bad memories for the Ming Dynasty.

After the Ming army entered Chang'an, they did not trust the people in Chang'an City, and adopted a strict attitude of prevention, and the estrangement between the two sides deepened.

Seeing this look like a great enemy, Wang Yan couldn't help frowning, he rode on the horse and looked left and right, and found that the houses and shops along the street were all closed doors and windows, and occasionally opened a gap to observe, as soon as he saw him approaching, he immediately "snapped" and closed suddenly.

"Alas, it seems that the Lone King is not popular!" Wang Yan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the surrounding scene and the tense atmosphere.

The generals also felt that walking on this street, feeling that the gaze behind the windows and doors was not friendly, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked, feeling very unnatural, and feeling that someone would be unfavorable to them at any time.

Li Guo looked left and right and licked his lips, "Prison Country, let's go to the palace quickly." ”

Not long after, Wang Yan and others entered the palace of the Jin Kingdom and temporarily set up the festival hall here.

At this time, a group of people turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the main hall, along the way you can see people coming and going in the palace, the soldiers scavenged out boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, text and antiques from the palace, and transported them outside, and the soldiers saw Wang Yan saluting one after another.

Wang Yan and the others came to the main hall, where silk, broken porcelain, and scattered paper were all over the ground.

Wang Yan walked to the middle, looked around, then turned around and said in a deep voice, "The Lone King is here to say." ”

Hearing this, the generals hurriedly lined up on both sides and saluted, "Yes!"

"It can be seen that the people of Chang'an do not welcome us, they have been thieves for a long time, and they have been confused by Haoge, we must win back the hearts of the people as soon as possible in order to gain a firm foothold." Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "Li Yuanyin, you arrange manpower to inspect Chang'an City, restore order first, and the soldiers of all departments must not disturb the people." In addition, according to the list of officials and magnates of the Jin State in Chang'an, it was cleaned up, and those who stayed were monitored first, and those who ran away confiscated their family wealth to fill the treasury. ”

Li Yuanyin immediately came out and hugged his fists, "The minister understands." ”

Wang Yan then said to Yu Taichu: "The proprietor of the grain number in the city, you can see it, let them resume trading, and in addition, the orphan will broadcast a military ration and sell it as cheap grain, you must suppress the price of grain in the city."

The price of grain is a reassuring pill, which can solve the problem of eating, and after a long time, people's hearts will be decided.

Most ordinary people are forgetful, as long as they settle down, it won't take a few years for Guanzhong to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty from the new.

Yu Taichu also hugged his fists and said: "The minister obeys the order and guarantees that the grain price in Chang'an will be stabilized first."

Wang Yan nodded, and added: "In addition, we must set up porridge sheds at the four gates to put porridge, and we must also erect flags to recruit the defeated soldiers of the Jin army, and collect as many as they want, and we must not let the defeated soldiers mix with the homeless people and bandits, otherwise it will form a big disaster."

Now the hungry people in Guanzhong are everywhere, and after the Ming army defeated the Jin army in Lintong, the Jin army broke and fled, and the Tun army also ran a lot. If these people are mixed with the homeless, they can immediately become the backbone, and the homeless people will not be easy to deal with.

Yu Taichu nodded busily again.

After ordering these few things, Wang Yan immediately instructed Li Guodao: "Although the Jin Kingdom is defeated at the moment, the three of Haoge, Wu Sangui, and Meng Qiaofang have not been caught, and we can't take it lightly." Counting the time, Wang Deren should have already left Qinghai and is attacking Yongliang, after you pack up, immediately lead your loyalty to the west of the town, and march together with Wang Shixiu and Liu Fangliang, and strive to annihilate the remnants of the Jin army in the Longxi area. ”

The plan before the Ming Dynasty was to attack Jin on five routes, one of which was Wang Deren's department that attacked from the south of Qinghai, and the main force of the Ming army and the Jin army fought fiercely in Guanzhong for so long, Wang Deren should have taken Ganzhou, Liangzhou and Xining Mansion by now according to the plan.

If this goal is achieved, then the Ming army is very likely to annihilate Wu Sangui and Meng Qiaofang in Pingliang, Lanzhou, Qinzhou and other regions.

"After the minister prepares, he will pull out the camp and chase west tomorrow morning, and he will definitely completely destroy the Jin army." Li Guo solemnly clenched his fists.

······

Liangzhou, with a long history, is an important town in the west of the Jin Kingdom, connecting the east and the west, originally in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, but at this time under the city of Liangzhou, the camp tent spreads, and an army of the Ming Dynasty is stationed.

This is exactly Wang Deren's army from Qinghai, after the army occupied Xining Mansion in April, it went north to take Liangzhou, only one step away from cutting off the Jin State.

At this time, as soon as the sky was bright, Wang Deren stood alone at the gate of the camp, silently staring at the Liangzhou city wall several miles away······
