Li Bin died, and was blown away by air waves at the moment of the explosion, crossed the city wall, and fell on the street not far from the door opening.

When the defenders in the city found him, he had already lost all blood and breath, and his death was miserable.

Zhu Shenxuan, Zhu Minji and others did not dare to approach Xiaobei Gate, but shouted a few words from a distance, "General Li is unparalleled in loyalty and martyrdom, and he is tragic and heroic, and then ran back to the royal palace to hide.

Li Bin used his life to fight for them to live for a few more days.

In fact, his death did not change anything.

When the city wall of Xiaobeimen collapsed under the dense shelling of more than 100 cannons, Zhu Shenxuan and Zhu Minji were so scared that they were at a loss and had no idea what to do.

The officers and generals barely gathered thousands of defenders to Xiaobei Gate, and worked tremblingly for a long time before barely forming the formation. Outside the gap, the sound of Guandi Army pushing the shield cart forward, which was like muffled thunder, shaking the ground, and was shocked every step.

The artillery on the top of the city was still firing continuously. The large number of inferior artillery, which was worryingly powerful, could not stop the shield cars from advancing forward. Soon, one shield cars stopped by the moat outside the small north gate.

The small north gate has become a ruin, with countless broken bricks and rammed earth piled up in gaps four or five meters wide, forming a low slope.

The Guandi Army, which arrived first, was divided into two parts, and some remained in place. With the help of shield chariots, they used muskets to suppress the musket soldiers and archers on the city. After crossing the moat, the other part formed a square formation of less than 100 people, raised their shields and headed them to climb the low slopes with muskets and arrows.

As they approached the top of the slope, the Guandi Army stopped and threw away the thunders as thick as fists.

A wave of thunder thunder broke the Ming army behind the gap and lost its soul. When the Guandi army rushed up the top of the slope and lay on the ruins to set up muskets, the defenders were running around with their heads in their arms.

After another wave of muskets, the defenders threw down dozens of corpses and fled completely.

The Guandi army began to enter the city and established a defensive formation behind the gap. The Guandi army behind them followed in one after another and then began to advance towards the Great North Gate.

When they arrived at the Great North Gate, thousands of defenders and civilians had already knelt on the ground and surrendered in fear.

The Guandi army rushed to the top of the city, and all the defenders at the top of the city surrendered after sporadic resistance.

The battle flag of the Guandi Army was quickly erected from the Dabei Gate, and the bricks and stones that blocked the door hole were quickly cleared out. Qin Chuan led the main force to rush in from the Dabei Gate.

The Guandi Army outside the six city gates to the east, west and south are also tightening the defense line and waiting for the battle to prevent the Ming army or the clans and gentry in the city from breaking out.

Just half an hour later, the Guandi Army completely controlled the four walls of Taiyuan City, and began to advance step by step from all sides to the city, searching each household, and reading out martial law orders.

Qinchuan wanted to search for the Ming army, officials, gentry and clan relatives. The intelligence department had already figured out the Taiyuan City, and had listed all the officials, gentry and clan relatives who occupied the people's land, bullied the people, and abused the law for personal gain. They just need to arrest people according to the list.

Arrests are not only to eliminate harm for the people, but also to search homes and collect grain. The more people commit crimes, the more grain Qinchuan can get.

The Guandi Army soon broke into Ninghua Palace and Jin Palace. Ninghua King Zhu Minji had already brought some money and clans, and the guards fled to the Jin Palace. There were only a group of trembling servants and some royal relatives with low status left in Ninghua Palace.

Qin Chuan asked his subordinates to arrest all the people and identify them one by one. Many officials and servants of the Ninghua Palace had used their power to oppress the people, and these people could not be let go.

There are also Fangshan Mansion, Linquan Mansion and other princes and other princes, and there are only people who are insignificant and have nowhere to go.

The gate of the King of Jin was closed, and there were sounds of call and footsteps from inside. It was obvious that the escorts of the King of Jin were organizing the defense.

Thousands of Guandi Army surrounded the entire palace and then began to throw a wave of thunder into it, then hit the door, climbed up to the wall, and quickly attacked the palace.

After killing hundreds of royal guards, the other guards obediently put down their weapons and surrendered. The Guandi army rushed in and began to search every corner.

When Qin Chuan stepped into the palace, King Zhu Shenxuan of Jin, King Zhu Minji of Ninghua, and a group of royal relatives such as Princes, General of the State Protection, General of Dingguo had been escorted to the square.

When he saw Qin Chuan, Zhu Shenxuan, with a disheveled face, still maintained the pride of the Zhu Ming royal family, and looked at Qin Chuan with his head held high and unwilling to do so.

Zhu Minji frequently looked around and his eyes were circling, not knowing whether he wanted to find an opportunity to escape.

Qin Chuan walked up to the two of them and smiled at Zhu Shenxuan, "Your Highness King Jin, I will be in charge of Taiyuan City from now on."

"snort!"

Zhu Shenxuan shouted angrily: "Don't be rampant. When our imperial army arrives, you will be broken into pieces and crushed to ashes."

"hehe."

Qin Chuan was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned to look at Zhu Minji on the side.

"Prince Ninghua, I heard you were going to snatch my wife from me back then?"

Zhu Minji looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head and dared not look directly at him. Then he made a fuss and snorted coldly: "Qin Chuan, since it has fallen into your hands, I have nothing to say. If you want to kill or cut it, you will be able to listen to the emperor."

"Okay, I will fulfill your wish when I rectify Taiyuan City."

Qin Chuan smiled and waved his hand, and the Guandi Army under his command escorted the two of them and left with the royal family.

That night, Taiyuan City had searched and most of the people on the list had been caught. Only a few people were hiding in a secret room or mingled with the people.

Qin Chuan asked his subordinates to continue searching for the whereabouts of those people and speed up the time to search the house.

Before this, all the cities captured by Qinchuan were located in barren lands of the Loess Plateau. The Zhangjiakou Fort, the most seized, was just a small border town. Taiyuan City was located in a wealthy plain and was also the fief of the King of Jin. The city had tens of thousands of people, and its prosperity was far greater than any city captured by Qinchuan. The number of gentry and clan relatives in the city was more than the total of all the gentry in the northwest Jin occupied by Qinchuan.

It can be said that those who can move into Taiyuan City are either high-ranking officials or landlords and gentry. The rest are people who work for these high-ranking officials and landlords and gentry, managers, servants, and some merchants, vendors, gangsters, etc.

These gentry and clans mastered most of the cultivated land in several basins in Shanxi through years of embezzlement, loan sharing, forced buying and selling, and occupying. The degree of prosperity is self-evident.
