Following Mrs. Qin's order, all the Tujia people in Sichuan, and even the chieftains of other ethnic minorities, formed teams one after another under Mrs. Qin's call and converged on Chengdu.

This made Zhang Shenyan very busy. He was not going to coordinate the various parties. Mrs. Qin's prestige among the chieftains was unrivaled, so he did not need to worry about coordination. Now he, as the supervisor, only has two things to do, and that is to provide logistical support for this coalition force. The most important thing is to keep Lan Lan in his camp at all times and never allow her to run around. If he ran to the front line and made a mistake, even if he sprained his foot or damaged the nail of his little finger, Zhang Shenyan would think that he would die.

For this reason, the little girl stamped her feet and yelled at the old man all day long, strongly demanding to fight on the front line.

In the end, no matter how much the little girl struggled, the old supervisor would always be there with a smile on his face, and he would do anything. If he wanted to leave the place where his eyes were, he would be killed.

But almost every day, there are secret envoys from the Jinyi Guards who secretly report Lan Lan's every move every day to the Wanshou Mountain Yangshou Palace.

Among them, Lan Lan rescued a bird that fell from a tree and was injured, adopted a stray cat, went into the wounded barracks to personally prepare medicine for the wounded soldiers, and even rode hundreds of miles overnight, except for a man-stealing domineering woman. of bullies.

He went to the Yamen in person to seek justice for a poor and helpless old woman. Including giving alms on the street several times, seeing refugees shed several tears, all of which were recorded in such detail as to how many drops were shed.

When they saw that the war was tense and Lan Lan was about to go into battle in person, Chongzhen and Zhou Hou slapped the table together: "What a nonsense, is this what a mother of the country should do? What can I do if I bump into each other?"

In fact, the beginning of the war was not tragic. Zhang Xianzhong did not have many soldiers and horses. Although the losses last time were the least, the real combat effectiveness was not strong.

What's more, he is cruel and easy to kill, and has long been hated and hated by the people across Sichuan. In the battle of Chongqing, although they resisted desperately, they finally succeeded in capturing Chengdu in just 5 days with the cooperation of the riots of the people in the city. The passage to Chengdu, Zhang Xianzhong's so-called capital, was opened.

As for other cities, under the pressure of the powerful Ming army and the cooperation of the people, Zhang Xianzhong's troops all abandoned the city and fled, retreating to Chengdu to defend.

Mrs. Qin struck while the iron was hot and led more and more chieftain coalition forces to join, and in a blink of an eye, the entire Chengdu was surrounded by water.

By May, the battle for Chengdu was mature. Mrs. Qin and Zhang Shenyan gave the order and launched a desperate attack on Chengdu City.

This was a real bloody battle. Zhang Xianzhong had no way out. At the same time, in order to prevent the people from opening up the city to meet the enemy like other cities, he had ruled for such a long time and had already killed the people in Chengdu whose population had withered. , kill them all. So this is a head-to-head battle to the death.

In this war, it was the chieftains from all over the country who fought bravely to take the lead. Because Zhang Xianzhong massacred ethnic minorities too harshly, everyone wanted revenge.

The most important thing is that gossip has spread to the ears of the entire ethnic minority.

The current Emperor Ming is about to marry Mrs. Qin’s great-grandson. Our chieftain’s daughter has become the queen.

This has been the best news since the conflict between ethnic minorities and Han people.

In order to win over the ethnic minorities in Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan, the Han people pretend to talk about national reconciliation, but their contempt for ethnic minorities has always been deep in their bones.

But this time is different. Our daughter will become the empress of the Ming Emperor. This is true national reconciliation.

Although everyone knew it, they absolutely kept it from the only person Lan Lan. But for this honor and for the sake of his uncle and relatives, how could he not fight to the death?
But even with this mentality, the Battle of Chengdu still lasted for three months before the city of Chengdu was finally broken. Zhang Xianzhong and a group of his die-hard warriors committed collective suicide. A generation of heroes came to an end, and Ming Dynasty eliminated the first thief leader in the country.

Zhang Shenyan, who received important instructions, lived up to the emperor's trust and found Zhang Xianzhong's huge treasure. As recorded in history, Zhang Xianzhong's treasures amounted to thirty million taels of gold and silver, and there were mountains of antiques and treasures.

Immediately after seizing these treasures, Zhang Shenyan, carrying the secret decree of Chongzhen and Empress Zhou, took Ma Lanlan and walked into the treasures to select his favorite things.

This was Chongzhen's last inspection of Lan Lan during the Zhou Dynasty. Walking into the huge and scary cave, the countless piles of jewels, shining under the light of torches, can blind people's eyes.

Faced with so many rare treasures, Lan Lan did not pounce on them greedily. Instead, she turned to look at Zhang Shenyan who was following behind her: "Grandpa Zu, why are you showing me these?"

Zhang Shenyan smiled lovingly and explained in a cunning low voice: "My precious granddaughter, this is the last time Grandpa will keep these treasures. So, while these things are still in Grandpa's hands, Grandpa asks you to choose you." If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”

Lan Lan smiled: "What do I need these for? They are not as good as copper coins and silver coins. Grandpa, can you give me those?"

Zhang Shenyan was surprised: "This is much more valuable than those gold, silver and copper coins."

"What's the use of money? It can't be used as food or clothing. Grandpa Grandpa also saw that there are so many cadres outside and they have nothing. If I give them some money, maybe they can buy a piece of land to farm; outside There are so many orphans who have lost their parents because of Zhang Thief's cruelty. Maybe I can use some money to gather them and raise them up. There are so many orphans and widows out there, so many miserable people -"

Zhang Shenyan's eyes were red: "My child, you have a true Bodhisattva heart, but there are so many people in the world who need help, and you can't help them."

Lan Lan looked gloomy: "I know I can't save them, but I can do my best to save one person. But just follow your conscience."

"But a good national policy that loves the people will save many people."

Lan Lan's expression became even more gloomy: "I know that it is absolutely impossible for me and my brother Zhu. I am the queen of the generals and a barbarian woman. I am not qualified to tell him what to do to save the people. I will not even see him again from now on." On the one hand, it has become impossible.”

Then he turned around and walked out of the cave.

"Lan Lan——"

"Grandpa, what else do you want to say? If you can't give me gold and silver, I don't want anything here."

"Ah, that's it. If you don't pick something, why don't I give it to you as a memory for Brother Zhu?"

Lan Lan hesitated for a moment and took out a purse from her arms: "This is the purse I gave to my brother Zhu. In the purse is my hair. Please give it to Grandpa Zu for me."

At night, under the oil lamp, Zhang Shenyan wrote out today's events in detail. He only faithfully recorded and never commented, solemnly writing at the end. "To have such a mother of the country, all people are lucky, the world is lucky, and all people are lucky." (End of this chapter)
