For Zhang Dingguo, the most difficult thing to deal with now is how to learn about the movements of the Qing army.
After this battle, the Qing army will definitely not stay in Baonyeong Prefecture.
Attacking from the west to Chengdu or attacking from the east to capture Fengjie are two completely different ideas.
Of course, from a purely profit perspective, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Dingguo retreating to Chengdu.
Because Fengjie is now under the control of the Ming army.
If the Qing army attacked Fengjie, the Daxi Army would actually not suffer any losses.
But this means that the Daba Mountain defense line has been actively abandoned.
The Qing army can march straight in, while the Daxi army can only passively defend.
But if he didn't do this, Zhang Dingguo was afraid that Chengdu would not be protected under the Qing army's successive attacks.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Dingguo decided to retreat to Chengdu.
However, he planned to send someone to inform Zhang Nengqi who was stationed in Daba Mountain at the same time, so that he would be mentally prepared and able to adapt accordingly.
Zhang Dingguo's meaning is very clear.
Dabashan can keep the rules, but if you really can't keep it, there is no need to stick to it.
Ensuring strength is the most important thing.
It is definitely not a good thing to put the Qing army into Sichuan, but it does not necessarily mean that it cannot be fought.
It's better to think long term.
News of the great victory in Kunming spread to Nanjing, and the government and the public were rejoicing.
Because this battle was no longer simply about quelling the Shadingzhou rebellion, Qin Liangyu also defeated the Western bandits' plot against Yunnan in one fell swoop, and even captured Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son Zhang Wenxiu alive.
At this moment, Zhang Wenxiu has been escorted to Nanjing by special personnel, and I believe he will be surrendered to the prison soon.
This is a good sign.
In the original history, although the Southern Ming court united with the West to resist the Qing Dynasty, it was actually completely passive.
The emperor was basically no different from a puppet.
Now that the imperial court has put down the rebellion and gained actual control over Yunnan, it has more capital.
Zhu Cihong was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to directly recruit Zhang Xianzhong's generals to the court.
Zhang Wenxiu still has some abilities.
It would be best if he is willing to surrender.
But Zhu Cixiang favored Zhang Dingguo more.
This famous general who shone brightly in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty is extremely talented.
If he can be recruited under his command, it will be very important to supplement the strength of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Cixi couldn't help but sigh that it would be better if Qin Liangyu captured Zhang Dingguo this time.
But there is no such perfect thing in this world, and being able to capture Zhang Wenxiu is already good.
The Ming army's next focus must be on Sichuan.
Qin Liangyu from Yunnan and Wen Anzhi from Chongqing.
If these two forces can cooperate tacitly, they can put enough pressure on Zhang Xianzhong.
Although the Ming army now controls the eastern Sichuan area, Zhu Cixiang believes that this is not enough.
If you want to compete with the Qing army without any worries, you must solve the hidden danger in Sichuan.
For the sake of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong must die.
As for Zheng Zhilong from Fujian, it is a bit tricky.
Zhu Cixiang was fully capable of driving Zheng Zhilong to the sea, but this would not completely tilt the situation towards the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, when Zheng Zhilong arrived at sea, it was like letting a tiger return to the mountains, but the threat was even greater.
Therefore, Zheng Zhilong should be dealt with after Zhang Xianzhong.
Just when Zhu Cixiang was thinking about whether to summon Lu Zhenfei for an audience, the Military Intelligence Department of the Inner Factory suddenly sent an urgent report.
Zhu Cixiang always valued the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Department and immediately took it apart to take a look.
After watching it, he was extremely happy.
It turns out that Zhang Xianzhong is dead Zhang Xianzhong actually died earlier than originally thought in history This news was sent back by a secret whistle from the Military Intelligence Department who was among the Western Army.

It should be accurate.
According to his report, the Qing army, led by Hong Chengchou, suddenly rushed outside Baoning City.
Zhang Xianzhong was shot to death with an arrow at the top of the city.
The Qing army took advantage of the chaos and broke into the city in one fell swoop.
The Qing army's method of breaking the city was also very strange.
They dug tunnels and used hole attacks to directly collapse the city wall.
Others may not know what this means, but how could Zhu Cixi not know it?
He was the first to "invent" the tactic of bombing the city with coffins.
I just didn't expect that the Qing army would learn it so quickly and even actually use it once during the attack on Baoning.
This Hong Chengchou really lived and learned.
Not mentioning these, it is said that the secret sentry took advantage of the chaos and escaped from the city, and wrote a report as soon as possible and sent it to Nanjing through a special channel.
This news is worth thousands of dollars This is really in line with the old saying, whatever you think about comes to you.
Once Zhang Xianzhong died, the deadlock completely ended.
Zhu Cixiang had many choices.
He could either sit back and watch the fight, or he could win over Zhang Dingguo immediately.
Of course, the most important thing now is to notify Wen Anzhi so that he can be more alert and ready to fight at any time.
After the Qing army captured Baoning, it was difficult to say where they would attack next.
If the Qing army's goal is Chongqing, then Wen Anzhi will inevitably face a fierce battle.
If the Qing army's goal is Chengdu, the Ming army in eastern Sichuan must also be prepared.
When necessary, the Qing army needs to be outflanked from behind.
Qin Liangyu from Yunnan also needs to be informed.
There will be no major turmoil in Yunnan in a short period of time, so this Ming army must be used rationally.
Zhu Cixiang felt his blood boiling.
He asked why the Qing army had been silent.
It turned out that they wanted to hold back a big move.
What's even more frightening is that this ultimate move really made him hold it in.
If Zhu Cixiang guessed correctly, Hong Chengchou's real purpose was to use Sichuan as a springboard to capture Huguang, thereby gaining the world's granary.
Judging from this raid, Hong Chengchou was indeed very thoughtful and worthy of being a tactical genius.
It's a pity that Hong Chengchou is on the opposite side of Zhu Cixiang.
The better Hong Chengchou performs, the more Zhu Cixiang has to deal with.
Now Hong Chengchou has completely gained Dorgon's trust and has a say in many major decisions.
If this old guy could die a few years earlier, the Ming army would have more advantages in the showdown with the Qing army.
Of course, Hong Chengchou is not yet at the point where Zhu Cihong should deliberately target him, at least not yet.
As long as Hong Chengchou has no intention of attacking Fengjie, he can be allowed to make trouble first.
When he had enough trouble and fought with the Western Army until both sides suffered losses, it was time for the Ming Army to clean up the mess.
Of course, the defenses in northern Huguang and Shandong cannot be relaxed either.
God knows whether Hong Chengchou's move was to build a plank road openly and secretly attack Chencang.
It would be bad if Duduo and Azig took the opportunity to launch a massive attack and catch the Ming armies in both places by surprise.
In short, the current situation is very complicated.
There are too many places bordering the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and fighting may break out anytime and anywhere.
This requires that the military and civilians everywhere must be fully prepared and respond quickly.
Only in this way can we not lose in this duel.
In the end, Zhu Cixiang decided to summon Lu Zhenfei.
After such a big thing happened, he decided to make a plan with Lu Zhenfei to see if there was anything else that could be used
