Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 476 Liu Wenxiu defected to Li Dingguo

Now Sun Kewang wished he could eat Liu Wenxiu alive.

He didn't expect that Liu Wenxiu wouldn't give him face, and he had come to the Chengdu mansion, yet this Liu Wenxiu was still unwilling to open the city gate.

But at this time the city of Chengdu was in Liu Wenxiu's hands, and he didn't want brothers to turn against each other directly, so he could only patiently explain:

"Brother Wei has already sent someone to notify you. You open the city gate first before you speak. Now that the emperor's revenge has not been avenged and the Qing army is pressing down on the border, we brothers must have a good discussion."

Liu Wenxiu knew that he had no reason to stop Sun Kewang's soldiers and horses outside the city, and he also knew that the soldiers and horses in his hands could not stop them, and Chengdu was not a city that could be defended, the surrounding terrain was flat and there were no big rivers, Except for the high walls and high walls, there is no danger to rely on.

Therefore, Liu Wenxiu also ordered: "Open the city gate, and let the Duke of Dian enter the city!"

At this time, Hou Tianxi, a general under Liu Wenxiu's command, hurried over: "Master, one of His Majesty's soldiers named Cao Xun asked to see him, saying that he had a letter from His Majesty."

When he heard that Zhang Xianzhong's personal soldier Cao Xun had appeared, Liu Wenxiu hurriedly ordered someone to bring him to meet him.

Not long after, Cao Xun was helped to front Liu Wenxiu.

This Cao Xun is of course Jin Yiwei, but he is just a soldier who has been lurking under Zhang Xianzhong's command since Chongzhen 17 years ago, and his true identity is rarely known.

In order to behave realistically, Cao Xun cut his own arm, and even stabbed his collarbone and left abdomen and stomach. After simple treatment, he returned to Chengdu after he had a blood scab.

"This is what His Majesty dragged his subordinates to bring to the general before his death," Cao Xun weakly handed the letter to Liu Wenxiu.

Liu Wenxiu took the letter and looked at it for a while, then couldn't help but muttered: "That's right, it's indeed Father's signature and handwriting, and it's also his seal. It seems that Father was really killed by the Qing army!"

Liu Wenxiu slapped the table angrily: "Who is the leader of the Qing army?"

"My subordinates only heard that it was Prince Su." After Cao Xun finished speaking, Liu Wenxiu asked someone to take Cao Xun down to rest and be treated by a doctor. There is no doubt about it! No wonder my father told me not to surrender to the Qing army!"

"But father, don't worry, my son will definitely avenge you!"

While Liu Wenxiu was talking, Sun Kewang had already entered Chengdu, and immediately sent someone to invite Liu Wenxiu.

Although Sun Kewang had entered the city, Liu Wenxiu had a lot of troops in Chengdu, so Sun Kewang couldn't do anything to Liu Wenxiu, not to mention that the two were brothers who had lived and died together for many years, so Sun Kewang just wanted to persuade Liu Wenxiu to follow along with him. He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty together, and he was even willing to guarantee that the Qing army would make Liu Wenxiu the king of Jianzhou.

Liu Wenxiu had already obtained Zhang Xianzhong's suicide note at this time, so he refused to surrender, and even took out the suicide note to persuade Sun Kewang to refuse to surrender: "Brother, the emperor's kindness to us is as great as a mountain. Now that the Qing army has killed our emperor, how can we recognize the thief as our father?" , in the humble opinion of the third brother, we should kill the Shunqing mansion now to avenge the father!"

"Now that the Qing army is overwhelming the country, how do we fight against the enemy? Now that the Qing army intends to appease, why not accept Han Xin's humiliation first, surrender to become a thief, and turn against him when the time is right. It will not be too late to avenge our father!"

Sun Kewang was unwilling to confront the Qing army at this time.

Liu Wenxiu had no choice but to argue with him again, the two quarreled almost all night, and finally broke up.

However, what people didn't expect was that Liu Wenxiu knew that he was no match for Sun Kewang, so he took Li Dingguo, his wife and children, and his soldiers to Syria, and gave up Chengdu to Sun Kewang.

Sun Kewang knew that Liu Wenxiu was close to Li Dingguo, and he also knew that he could not stop Liu Wenxiu, and he did not want to use his forces to deal with Liu Wenxiu, so he let Liu Wenxiu leave, occupied the warehouse bank left by Zhang Xianzhong, and began to call himself The king of Shu even wrote a suicide note to the Qing court, Zhou, governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, asked the Qing court to make him the king of Shu, not the king of Chengdu.

Zhou Ze didn't expect that Sun Kewang would still raise the price on the ground, but he still agreed to him. Anyway, he is now spreading the Qing court's decree falsely.

Liu Wenxiu took his troops to Xuzhou, met Li Dingguo, and told Li Dingguo that Sun Kewang intended to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and that Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Prince Su Hauge.

"Brother, how could he be so foolish as to recognize a thief as his father! And Hauge, if you don't avenge this revenge, Li swears not to be a human being!"

Li Dingguo was as indignant as Liu Wenxiu.

Although Liu Wenxiu is not good at fighting, he is good at organizing people and building momentum. He is an excellent political cadre in modern times, so he immediately persuaded Li Dingguo to become the general of Pinglu, and the army he led was renamed Pinglu Army. In this way, he showed his determination to resist the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, Li Dingguo recruited troops in Syria, and also sent a letter to Ai Nengqi, hoping that Ai Nengqi would support him.

At this time, Sun Kewang also claimed to be the King of Shu in Chengdu, and he even took the initiative to shave his hair. He also left a letter to Ai Nengqi, hoping that Ai Nengqi would support him.

At this time, Ainengqi was already surrounded by more than 8 soldiers and horse regiments from the Gao Yigong Department, Yuan Zongdi Department, Liu Tichun Department, Li Jin Department, and Hongniangzi Department of the Extermination Army in Chongqing City.

"General Ai, Zhang Xianzhong has been punished by the Qing army, and you are now in deep siege, but as long as you are willing to surrender to Ming Dynasty, His Majesty promises to let you continue to be a general. If you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"

Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, shouted loudly, hoping to appease Ainengqi, so as to achieve the goal of occupying Chongqing Fucheng without giving up a single soldier.

However, Ai Nengqi's character was unwilling to be subdued, and immediately cursed: "Damn, a man should be his own king's ear, how can he be driven by you dog officials!"

Ai Nengqi refused to submit, and began to kill people in the prefectural city of Chongqing, crazily abusing the people.

Seeing this, Du Yinxi had no choice but to order Gao Yigong and others to launch a general attack on Chongqing Fucheng. In the end, under the bombardment of hundreds of cannons from the Ming Dynasty's extermination army, Chongqing City was destroyed, and Ainengqi committed suicide in Chongqing Fucheng.

At this point, the entire Daxi regime was completely destroyed, Zhang Xianzhong and Zhou were captured and executed, and Ai Nengqi had hanged himself.

Sun Kewang surrendered, but he didn't know that he had fallen into a big conspiracy trap.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu guarded Xu Prefecture alone.

Zhou Zebu of the Qing army had occupied Shunqing Prefecture, which is today's Nanchong, less than [-] miles away from Chengdu.

But at this time, Zhou received a strict order from Prince Su Hauge, ordering him to be stationed in Baoning Mansion on the spot and not to advance any further, waiting for his army to arrive.

Zhou Ze guessed Hauge's purpose, and knew that Hauge must have been a little surprised to see how easy it was for him to capture Sichuan. Now that he was about to capture Chengdu, he thought of picking peaches.

After all, the richness of the Chengdu area has always been famous in the world. People say that Yangzhou is the first and Yizhou is the second. All the wealth in the entire southwest region is concentrated here. As Prince Su, Hauge will naturally not let go of this opportunity to rob.
