Chapter 341: The Empty City Plan (Second Update!) )


The Daxi Army's military discipline is not too strict, but its combat effectiveness has always been impressive.

This was mainly because the generals allowed their soldiers to loot after victory.

Although this approach is a bit barbaric, it has to be said that it can stimulate the fighting spirit of soldiers.

The soldiers felt that the battle was no longer for the generals but for themselves, so they dared to fight for their lives.

Of course, the difference between humans and animals is that humans are polite and honest.

There is an unwritten rule in the Daxi Army, that is, they are only allowed to plunder for three days after breaking the city.

After more than three days, the looters were still beheaded and displayed in public.

Precisely because of such strict regulations, the soldiers still "obey the rules".

Because this is about the head on your neck.

Gold and silver are important, but life is more important.

If you run out of money, you can rob again, but if you run out of lives, it's all over.

Zhang Wenxiu emphasized this point again during the pre-war mobilization to attack Kunming.

All soldiers patted their chests and promised to abide by military discipline.

After everything was prepared, Zhang Wenxiu issued the order to attack the city.

Zhang Dingguo did not argue with him.

In his opinion, who served as commander-in-chief was not the most important.

What was important was that Kunming must be captured in one go.

If it can capture Kunming, the Great Western Army can issue orders like a victor and control all of Yunnan.

And if the battle situation gets into a stalemate, accidents are likely to happen.

This is what Ye Changmengduo said.

So the officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army rushed under the Kunming city wall under the cover of the rushing car.

The outside of the ram car was wrapped with a thick layer of felt, making it impossible for ordinary arrows to cause damage to it.

The soldiers hiding in the car were safe.

As long as the artillery fire was not fired at them, their lives would not be in danger at all.

But when they gathered enough strength to push the cart and arrived at the city gate, a strange scene appeared.

The car only hit the city gate once, but the city gate opened. what does this mean Under normal circumstances, the city defenders will reinforce the city gates.

Even if there weren't huge boulders blocking the city gate, it wouldn't be possible to open it with just one hit.

The soldiers of Daxi Army were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.

The general reacted quickly and ordered them to rush into the city.

It's his grandma's.

I've given you a big gift and you still refuse to accept it.

Isn't that unjust?

More and more Daxi Army soldiers poured into the city along the city gate.

Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo were not in a hurry to enter the city.

It was all so unusual.

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and they want to see what kind of tricks the Ming army is playing.

The Daxi Army soon entered the city and took control of all city gates.

What surprised them was that all the collapsed city walls had not been repaired, and many gaps could even accommodate a dozen people entering and exiting at the same time.

What's even more strange is that there is no trace of the Ming army in the entire city.

All the doors of the houses facing the street were closed, and the streets were deserted.

This is an empty city After confirming this, someone went to report to Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo.

The two of them couldn't restrain their curiosity and entered the city one after another.

There is no doubt that the Great Western Army has taken control of Kunming City.

But what's the point?

There's not even a living person to be seen in the whole city, and the Western Army can't do it even if they want to collect taxes and catch young men.

Could it be that Mingjun got the news in advance and became cowardly?

But even if the Ming army voluntarily withdraws from Kunming, the people in the city should not disappear with them.

There is no reason for the Ming army to carry these burdens.

One person only has one mouth to eat.

How much food do they have?

Zhang Wenxiu ordered soldiers to search the entire city and report any suspicious persons immediately.

He didn't believe that there was no one in the city.

As for Sha Dingzhou, he was extremely embarrassed.

He had previously boasted that there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Haikou City, but when he arrived, he saw an empty city.

Sha Dingzhou swallowed and said with a smile: "The Ming thief must be afraid of the power of the two generals, so he fled in a hurry overnight."

Little did he know that his flattery fell on the horse's leg.

Zhang Wenxiu snorted coldly: "You can't even defeat such a weak Ming army.

You must be too stupid."

Sha Dingzhou's face immediately turned the color of pig liver.

Yes, the more he describes the Ming army as weak, the more he proves his unbearability.

He couldn't even defeat such a weak Ming army, so what if he wasn't a fool?

Zhang Dingguo coughed and said: "Kunming has been won anyway.

We should repair the city wall first."

Zhang Wenxiu nodded: "What Dingguo said is right.

Regardless of what conspiracy the Ming army is playing, it is important that we tighten the fence first.

In this way, we will not be afraid no matter which direction the Ming army comes from."

Hum, don't you want to sing an empty city plan?

Then let you sing and see who can have the last laugh.

Repairing the city wall was very time-consuming, so Zhang Wenxiu did not dare to delay and immediately started the work.

He himself, Zhang Dingguo, and Sha Dingzhou entered the Duke's Mansion of Guizhou to rest temporarily.

As expected, all the rice grains in the city's granaries have been moved away.

Fortunately, the Daxi Army brought enough food and supplies with them, so there won't be any problems within a month.

And Chuxiong Mansion is not far from Kunming, so even transporting grain can be done in time.

All the pirates captured from the Guangzhou ships were taken to Dengzhou Prison.

Denglai Governor Zhang Kentang, accompanied by the prefect Yuan Weitai, personally entered the prison to interrogate the prisoners.

Such behavior frightened the prison boss.

The governor is an absolute official in the border area, and he even condescended to come to the prison to interrogate the prisoners.

Naturally, they paid 10,000 yuan for their care, fearing that any poor service would make the nobleman angry.

In order to compete to show off in front of the governor, all the jailers used their special skills.

Those pirates were tortured with various torture instruments, and finally some of them couldn't bear it anymore and confessed the truth.

It turns out that they are not only pirates from Fujian, but also have connections with the Zheng family.

It was Zheng Zhilong who commissioned them to transport the grain to Tianjin Wei and deliver it to the Qing army.

Kentang Zhang was shocked when he learned the news.

He vaguely heard the news about Zheng Zhilong and Donglu's secret affair a month ago.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously.

Later, the news became more and more true, and some censors even directly used it to impeach Zheng Zhilong.

Although these memorials were ignored by the emperor, anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty was very angry.

His Majesty once sent an imperial envoy to Fujian to announce the decree and ordered Zheng Zhilong to report on his duties in Beijing.

As a result, the imperial envoy died mysteriously in a fire.

Zheng Zhilong himself also complained that he was ill and could not enter Beijing.

There was an uproar in the whole country at that time.

I didn’t expect that these are really not groundless rumors.

If Zheng Zhilong really secretly communicated with Donglu, it would be an extremely terrible thing.

What Donglu lacks most is naturally food.

Zheng Zhilong can provide food to Donglu.

Even if the imperial court imposed a blockade on Fujian, Zheng Zhilong could still send his navy to Nanyang to purchase.

It's just that the process is more complicated and tortuous.

This is really a bolt from the blue
