Wen Anzhi led Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and other remnants of the Shun Army to arrive in Chongqing, which aroused great repercussions.
Although the emperor had issued an imperial edict and the Ministry of War also issued a report, the officers and soldiers in Chongqing still found it difficult to accept it for a while.
Although they did not fight against the Shun Army most of the time, they mainly faced off against the Western Army.
But in their opinion, the Shun Army and the Western Army are essentially the same, they are both thieves and bandits.
Now they have to fight side by side with the bandits of the past, how can anyone bear it.
Some officers and soldiers took the initiative to provoke the surrendered soldiers, and even used force.
After Wen Anzhi learned what happened, he punished the officers and soldiers who caused the trouble as soon as possible.
The method of punishment is very simple, that is, whipping.
They took off the clothes of the officers and soldiers who were causing trouble, and whipped their backs violently.
After a few whips, scarlet purlins bulged out.
After more than a dozen whips, the skin and flesh were already torn apart.
The tortured soldiers were kept gagged, otherwise they would have screamed loudly.
All the soldiers were silent during the execution.
Because they knew that if the trouble continued, each of them might be whipped like this.
And that soldier was unlucky enough.
Wen Anzhi wanted to use him to establish his power, so he ordered him to be whipped fifty times.
Although the descendant of Fifty lashes did not die, his back was completely bruised and the wounds could not be healed for two or three months.
And even if the injury heals in the future, it will leave scars.
Wen Anzhi emphasized military discipline more than Chen Shiqi.
Regardless of whether it is the former Chongqing official army or the newly surrendered Shun army and the Shence army, they must abide by the military regulations he formulated.
Anyone who violates the rules will be punished depending on the severity.
The lighter punishment was whipping with a cane, while the severe punishment was beheading in public display.
Compassion does not control the army.
Since Wen Anzhi became the governor of Sichuan, he must show his determination to strictly manage the army.
The past model of hello, me, and everyone can no longer exist.
Due to the garrison of nearly 100,000 troops, the carrying capacity of Chongqing Government was temporarily saturated.
On the one hand, Wen'an dispersed the troops for garrison, and on the other hand, he also wrote to the court, requesting that Chongqing be given priority in the supply of military rations.
Because Liu Jinzhong led his troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong's original plan to attack Chongqing had to be temporarily shelved.
He must first send troops to take over Huaiqing Mansion and deal with internal conflicts before he can free his hands to attack Chongqing.
This gave Wen Anzhi more time to set up his defenses.
In Wen Anzhi's tactical system, the combination of offense and defense, and the combination of water and land are the two most basic ones.
The so-called combination of offense and defense means that the two tactics of active attack and city defense must be used together at the same time, and cannot be used alone.
In the past, when the Ming army in Chongqing fought against the Western army, they would often close the city gates tightly without hesitation and wait for the Western army to attack.
In this way, the Western Army could calmly surround the city and quickly build siege equipment.
When the Western Army has completed the siege equipment, it will launch a fierce attack on the city head.
If nothing unexpected happens, the city will eventually be captured by the Western Army.
The whole process seems to be a see-saw, but in fact there is no suspense.
The Ming army just postponed the failure for some time.
And if you send an army out of the city to attack the Western Army while defending the city, destroy the siege equipment they rushed to make, or even burn the Western Army's food and grass, you will achieve excellent results and even directly force the Western Army to retreat.
As for the combination of water and land, it is better to understand.
The Chongqing area is densely covered with water networks, which is very suitable for the navy.
Wen Anzhi planned to form a navy to block key waterways.
Of course, due to time constraints, it was impossible for Wen Anzhi to order the craftsmen to build the kind of giant ships built by Longjiang Shipyard.
Most of them were small boats like long boats and fast crabs.
But this is actually in line with Chongqing’s geographical conditions.

Large warships may not be successful in Chongqing, but small and flexible ships can exert more power.
In addition, Wen Anzhi also had individual contacts with some generals, including General Zeng Ying.
Of course, Wen Anzhi's conversation with Zeng Ying alone was not because of his whim, but because of His Majesty's orders.
Emperor Sheng seemed to appreciate this young general very much, and when Wen An resigned, he deliberately asked him to promote more of this man.
Of course Wen Anzhi would not violate the Holy Order.
After he came to Chongqing, he found Zeng Ying and asked him about his views on fighting Zhang Xianzhong.
Facing the new governor of Sichuan, Zeng Ying showed no signs of stage fright but spoke eloquently.
What is even more commendable is that Zeng Ying not only analyzed the Western armies entrenched in Chengdu, Huaiqing and other places, but also analyzed the chieftains in southern Sichuan and the Qing army in Hanzhong.
In his opinion, the four forces are intertwined, and the actions of each party can have a profound impact on the situation in Sichuan.
Wen Anzhi was fascinated by what he heard and chatted with Zeng Ying for a whole hour.
He now finally understood why the emperor asked him to promote this person.
Although Zeng Ying is only a young general, his knowledge and ability far exceed those of his peers.
He is a rare general.
It would be a pity if such a good little seedling is not carefully cultivated.
Of course, young people also have the problems of young people, that is, they are too impulsive and sometimes overconfident.
Wen Anzhi decided to transfer Zeng Ying to his side and beat him diligently.
In this way, Zeng Ying can avoid detours and grow better.
As for Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and others, Wen Anzhi also planned to make the best use of them.
After all, these are rare warriors, so it would be a shame not to be bored.
The soldiers of the Shun Army are also very capable of immediate combat.
Not only will they not suffer a disadvantage against the Western Army, they may also have an advantage.
As for the loyalty of these old Shunjun generals, there is no need to worry too much.
Because these generals all sent their nephews to Nanjing to study at the Huangming Military Academy.
Wen Anzhi has lived a lifetime, and of course he understands that this kind of "favor" is actually a disguised form of keeping hostages.
The generals of the Shun Army were very cooperative because they wanted to express their attitude and their loyalty to the court and the emperor.
With these hostages in hand, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and others will not do anything rebellious as long as they are not forced to a dead end.
Wen Anzhi can safely use these surrendered generals.
Of course, Wen Anzhi still had one idea in mind, which was to send a supervisor to each camp.
Of course, this treats the old Shun Army, the old Ming Army, and the Shence Army equally.
No matter who you are, you have to accept it.
Wen Anzhi believed that Yuan Zongdi, Liu Fangliang and others could not say anything.
As for the military commanding power of these subordinate generals, Wen Anzhi did not make too many adjustments, and still ordered them to command their old troops respectively.
Because he knew that this was the bottom line for Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi and others.
If Wen Anzhi wanted to forcibly disperse the Shun army for reorganization, a conflict would be inevitable.
As time goes by, the Shun Army will definitely gradually integrate into the Ming Army's system, and there is no need to rush for success.
Now is the time to employ people, and Wen Anzhi does not want to drive the generals of the Shun Army to the opposite side of the court.
The road must be walked step by step, and the meal must be eaten one bite at a time.
