When he came to his senses, Li Zicheng immediately became furious!
Han Jin'er, Li Zicheng's first wife, was killed by Li Zicheng for committing adultery with Gai Hu.
Mrs. Xing, Li Zicheng's second wife, was brave and intelligent. She was responsible for managing the military supplies of the peasant army. She later had an affair with Gao Jie and came to the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Guiying, Li Zicheng's third wife, has now been demoted to the imperial court again!
Being betrayed by his wife again and again, Li Zicheng's face was extremely ferocious, his chest was heaving and he was breathing heavily.
Suddenly, he pulled out the decorative sword from his waist and screamed as he turned around and rushed towards the rear camp: "That bitch, damn bitch, I'm going to kill her, I'm going to cut her into pieces.
, cut into pieces by five horses..."
When Song Xiance saw him, he quickly hugged him and hurriedly advised him: "General, please calm down. General, please calm down. It's too late. It's better to leave first, so that you can leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood!"
Niu Jinxing was also panicked, and quickly advised him: "General, women are like clothes. There will be more of them in the future. It is better to take the thirty-sixth strategy first!"
Liu Zongmin also stepped forward to block Li Zicheng's way and shouted loudly: "General, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Within the scope of sight, several groups of imperial officers and soldiers were already seen approaching.
Li Zicheng seemed to have regained his senses after being persuaded by them, and immediately shouted: "Protect him and go!"
When Liu Zongmin heard this, he immediately agreed, then turned to the envoy of King Dongwu, who was sandwiched between his guards, and said, "Let's go quickly!"
So, a group of people immediately ran away.
However, when they fled north, some of the bandits following them fell behind from time to time, and even turned around and ran towards the rear camp.
Some people find reasons for themselves based on face.
"General, I'm going to save my wife!"
"General, I'm going to save my son!"
"..."
Their voices were so low that people around them could almost hear them. Such shouting seemed to give Li Zicheng an explanation.
As a result, many thieves were influenced to hesitate before escaping, and then ran away.
The battle outside Kunming City can hardly be considered a war at all. Although there are many bandits and chieftain soldiers, they are all a mob. From the moment the imperial officers and soldiers appear, some chieftains want to escape first, leading others to escape.
The toast collapsed thousands of miles away.
More and more imperial officers and soldiers appeared on the battlefield, and as the space for the bandits and chieftain soldiers to escape became smaller and smaller, some people began to kneel down and surrender when they saw that there was no hope of escape.
By the time Yang Weizhi rushed to the battlefield, the area outside Kunming City was already controlled by the imperial officers and soldiers led by Qianfeng and Sun Chuanting. There were piles of prisoners everywhere who had lost their weapons and were squatting on the ground with their heads held in their hands, guarded by imperial officers and soldiers.
In the distance, there are imperial officers and soldiers who are pursuing them. Along the way, there are also groups of prisoners.
One place that was more conspicuous was that there was a group of imperial officers and soldiers surrounding tens of thousands of people. They looked like bandits. The two sides didn't do anything, they just surrounded them.
So, Yang Weizhi hurried over, but it was He Renlong and his men who were confronting a group of people led by Gao Yigong.
Seeing Yang Weizhi passing by, he came over and reported: "Sir, these bandits said that they had been recruited by you a long time ago. Is it true?"
Yang Weizhi heard this, nodded immediately, then drove his horse forward, looked at Gao Yigong, then glanced at the many people in front of him, and said with a smile: "Yes, they are already officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and they were recruited by me."
At this time, the imperial army had an absolute advantage, and many thieves were worried that the imperial court would deceive them if they were not serious.
In fact, starting from the early years of Chongzhen, for example, when Hong Chengchou led troops to suppress bandits, this often happened. To put it bluntly, after recruiting them, he turned against them and killed them.
According to Hong Chengchou, even if these bandits were recruited, the court would not be able to resettle them. The final result of their release would be that they would become thieves again, so it would be better to kill them all.
At this time, these thieves couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when they heard Yang Weizhi admit it in public.
Yang Weizhi stood up and dismounted. He was not afraid of being hijacked by the bandits. He stopped his personal guards and took a few steps forward. He came to Gao Yigong and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, let me introduce you to it for my convenience."
The official will reward you!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the female general next to Gao Yigong, and said with a smile: "This must be brother Gao's sister. You can tell at a glance that she is really loyal and loyal!"
Gao Guiying heard that this civil servant not only called Gao Yigong brother Gao, but also had such a friendly attitude, so he quickly saluted and replied: "Gao Guiying, a common man, how dare you compare with Mr. Zhongzhen!"
After hearing this, Yang Weizhi smiled and nodded and said: "You are on the list of gifts from the emperor. You will go to Beijing later to pay an audience. Maybe you can also meet Duke Zhongzhen!"
After a pause, he was worried that there might be some misunderstanding, so he explained: "Those on the emperor's list are all going to the capital for an audience. This is the case for Uncle Hua County and Uncle Ning Yuan!"
Then, he looked at the next one, and Gao Yigong quickly introduced him: "He is Li Guo. He is known as a tiger. He is willing to fight for the imperial court and protect his family and country!"
After hearing this, Yang Weizhi still kept a smile, nodded and said: "You are also on the list. Now that the court is hiring people, a good man should make contributions to his career. Not bad!"
After Li Guo heard this, he also hurriedly saluted.
Afterwards, Gao Yigong introduced them one by one. They were Tian Hualong, Dang Shouxu, Liu Xiyao, Liu Fangliang, Xin Sizhong, Liu Rukui, Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Niu Wancai and others.
Among them, several people are also on the list given by Emperor Chongzhen, Yang Weizhi will explain.
For example, Li Laiheng and Liu Tichun. Others who are not on the list are a little disappointed.
They don't know what the emperor's list is based on. Because in their opinion, the big and small on this list are not necessarily the most capable, nor are they necessarily the most capable.
In fact, in this plane, no one except Emperor Chongzhen knows that this list is actually based on their performance in the original history.
After all, if someone surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, or if he made no special contribution to the fight against the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen was the majestic Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he would not have time to receive them all.
In that life, they became the Ming army and fought bravely to defend the Ming Dynasty. In this life, Emperor Chongzhen would naturally have a high regard for them. Those who can be reused, of course, should be reused. This can be regarded as a reward for their performance in that life.
Among these people, Yang Weizhi did not worry about his own safety at all, and expressed his condolences to each of them very cordially, which greatly calmed the morale of the bandits and surrendered the army.
Later, Yang Weizhi simply worked here and sent Gao Yigong and others to continue to persuade the fleeing bandits to surrender.
In the evening, countless torches were lit outside the city, lighting up the entire city of Kunming.
The imperial officers and soldiers were also busy escorting piles of prisoners and keeping them in custody.
In the city, Mu Tianbo also went out of the city to see Yang Weizhi, and then he worked with the imperial officers and soldiers outside the city on post-war matters.
Just like that, after three days of busy work, the imperial officers and soldiers who were pursuing him in various places began to escort the prisoners back to Kunming City.
At this time, Sun Chuanting also led the subsequent imperial troops to Kunming.
Naturally, Sun Chuanting was the biggest, so Yang Weizhi reported the situation in his hands to Sun Chuanting.
In this battle, about 50,000 chieftain soldiers and 10,000 Dongwu soldiers were captured. About 3,000 chieftain soldiers were killed, and about 5,000 Dongwu soldiers were killed. There were also about 50,000 chieftain soldiers.
Fleeing into the nearby mountains and forests, Dongwu's army probably escaped more than 3,000 people.
As for the bandits, more than 25,000 bandits were recruited, including about 10,000 family members, and about 10,000 people surrendered. According to Gao Yigong's report, there were still about 10,000 bandits who fled to unknown places.
trace.
Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others have not been caught yet. In addition, it is reported that there is an envoy from King Dongwu on Li Zicheng's side, but no trace has been found either.
On the chieftain's side, only a few less powerful chieftains have been captured. Most of the chieftains have not been captured so far, or they may be among the surrendered chieftain soldiers.
As for the imperial army, the casualties were negligible.
After Sun Chuanting heard this, he ordered people to interrogate the chieftain prisoners and sent troops to all of Yunnan. Taking advantage of this great victory, he made an effort to regain the entire Yunnan.
Of course, while the army was attacking, just like the old method before, the local officials who had been waiting for them were sent out.
That is, the army opens the way and the local authorities follow up.
Although this model is already practiced, there is still a lot to be done to quickly stabilize the entire Yunnan province.
At this time, there was one thing that surprised Sun Chuanting.
Even the influence of the Mu family in Yunnan is still very large. For the people in the chieftain's territory, they all recognize the Duke of Guizhou very much.
With people from Prince Mu's Palace accompanying the local officials, the local governance matters were promoted particularly smoothly.
As for the chieftain soldiers, people from the Duke of Guizhou's palace would immediately cooperate. In less than three days, a group of chieftains were captured from the captives of the chieftain soldiers. However, the most powerful chieftain, Sha Dingzhou,
, still could not be found.
While Sun Chuanting was busy dealing with various affairs in Yunnan, he sent victory documents to the capital.
By this time, it was basically confirmed that the overall situation of the southwest war to encircle and suppress the bandits and chieftains was basically decided.
This also means that the Ming Dynasty's reform of the country was completely implemented.
Of course, there are still some chieftains in Guangxi. But that side is not the focus. Most of the unwilling and rebellious chieftains participated in the Yunnan rebellion.
If we really want to count, it is better to encircle but not suppress, to let all the raccoons gather together, and to catch them all in one fell swoop, than to directly attack and leave countless problems afterwards.
