The massacre of the city is nothing new to the Guanning Army, but Wu Sangui's next plan still requires Xi'an to have enough people's livelihood foundation. However, the Manchus and Mongols in the city are actually a lot of hidden dangers, which is far less than eliminating them.

"Prince, is this..."

Chen Wen, who was slaughtering the city in recent years, has never done anything, at least it is not said to be like this on the surface. In this regard, Wu Sangui's son-in-law, Guo Zhuangtu, who was also the logistics company of the Wu army, seemed a little hesitant.

"Son-in-law, you must know that the true wizards of the Tartars are sparse, and King Chen Wen of Yue has pulled him into a fatal injury. Now we can sprinkle them with another handful of salt, so that the Tartars will not have the possibility of recovering."

Speaking of this, Wu Sangui sighed and then said, "Besides, if we want to accomplish things, we must do more ruthlessly than Chen Wen. He used the courier camp to torture the Tartars, exhausted the Tartars, used the Tartars' lives to build forts, renovate official roads, and dig mountains and mines. It is to save people's strength, but those foolish men and women and corrupt scholars who have only a slight understanding know what they want. As long as we slaughter the whole city, they will only say that we are incompatible with the Tartars and praise us so that we can overwhelm Chen Wen. If not, let alone go further, I am afraid that even the stains that followed the Tartars over the years will not be cleaned."

Wu Sangui was so frank, and Guo Zhuangtu nodded frequently while moved, and quickly replied: "What my father-in-law said is so much, and the son-in-law suddenly felt enlightened when he heard it. He was just afraid that such a high-profile would anger the captive court. Then we will not be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

Guo Zhuangtu was obviously still deeply ingrained with the Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui shook his head and then said to him: "Hey, son-in-law, after all, we are betraying the encampment court. Do you think that if the Tartars in the city are not slaughtered today, they will not come? No, what they are afraid of now is Chen Wen and the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they will definitely come, and it won't take long, because they are showing weakness on this, what will the officials in other places think, what will the slutty Tartars in Monan and Mobei think, and a little bit of timid will be a situation where the wall is over and everyone pushes them."

"What should I do?"

"Have you forgotten that I have sent people to ask for help from the court before this. Calculate the day, and it is almost time to join forces with the two armies. As long as there is such a great victory, we can seize the capital before Chen Wen's northern expedition. This is the only way for our Guanning Army to live."

When Wu Sangui said this, Guo Zhuangtu immediately reacted. In the current situation, the Qing Dynasty was the least favored, because the major forces in the Han area wanted to destroy them, while the Mongolian tribes were basically trying to observe the style, with strong enemies inside and no reinforcements outside. The number of core forces in it was too small. Now it was the most difficult time for the Qing Dynasty.

However, there are many tricks to describe who destroyed the Qing Dynasty. The reason is very simple. The orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty comes from expelling the Yuan Dynasty. Although the population of the Qing Dynasty cannot be compared with the Yuan Dynasty, the destruction is something that everyone hates, and it can be completely equal.

If the court destroyed the Qing Dynasty, then the Ming court would never be able to rest assured with the huge strength of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming army, especially the geographical location they occupied, and the Ming court would never be able to settle down. However, once the vassals were reduced, the Chen Wen clan would be dead, but other vassal states would be frightened. At that time, the world would be in chaos and the Ming court would be overthrown by the angry and frightened subordinates under Chen Wen's command. Then these people would be divided for whom they would inherit Chen Wen's position, and their Guanning Army Group would have a chance.

But if Chen Wen destroyed the Qing Dynasty, he would also have to use the peak of his reputation to change the dynasty. Otherwise, as a minister, his reputation will definitely be suppressed by the emperor. At that time, the court would still destroy Chen Wen's family and reduce the vassal states. However, once Chen Wen changed the dynasty, his own group would at least look extremely stable from now on. Then, these small and medium-sized vassal states were either wiped out or they would end up being broken, which was something that Wu Sangui didn't want to see.

The small court and the big vassal states never lived in harmony for a long time. This was the case with Emperor Xian of Han and the Cao family at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the same with Emperor Zhaozong of Tang and Zhu Wen at the end of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Even when the Yuan Yuan was in decline, the small court of Dragon and Phoenix was the case with Zhu Yuanzhang.

What is a hero with great merits? Those who are worthy of merits will not be rewarded, and those who are brave and striking the master will be in danger. This is the eternal truth. At that time, these merits will be erased from history books. Anyway, the only ones who suffer losses are Chen Wen and the so-called justice, which are all indifferent things.

"My father-in-law, but what if the reinforcements from the court did not have time to arrive?"

Wu Sangui thought about this issue. His operation began when Chen Wen killed Hong Chengchou. For three years, it changed with the continuous changes in the situation. He even thought about returning to Henan with Chen Wen and advancing eastward.

The situation has reached this point today. When he chose to instigate Zhang Tianfu, he already thought of Guo Zhuangtu's problem. Judging from today's battle, this problem is not a problem at all.

"Son-in-law, can't you understand this battle today? Just because of this Spanish formation, Chen Wenke almost broke into the old formation, not to mention that I have made special modifications to it. What's the virtue of the Tartars? How can they do this?"

Wu Sangui needed enough reinforcements to continue to advance eastward before Chen Wen's northern expedition, otherwise it would take time to train more Spanish phalanxes, which would be unstable. However, at this moment, this was not needed for the city of Xi'an. All it needed was to divide the city and then put the city-slaughtered troops designated by Wu Sangui in it.

Xi'an Mancheng was first built in the sixth year of Shunzhi. It built a city wall along Beimen Street and Dongmen Street in the city. The walls of the city were borrowed from the east and north sides to drive out all the Han people in the northeast of the city, thus forming a city.

"The city is circumference of 2,630 feet, which is 14 miles and 6 minutes. The east-west distance is 745 feet, which is 4 miles and 2 minutes; the north-south distance is 575 feet, which is 3 miles and 1,1 minutes." Since the actual location of the two city gates in the north and south is lies west of the city wall, and the actual location of the two city gates in the east and west is south of the city wall, the city occupies the northeast of the city, but it is still a little larger than a quarter.

There are five city gates alone in the city of this scale. The east gate borrows the Changle Gate of the Fucheng City Gate; the south gate is the western section of the south wall of Mancheng. It turns out that the place where the Qin Wang Mansion is used to dress up clothes is called Duanlu Gate; the east arch of the Gu Tower in the city is used as the city gate in the southwest direction; the Xihua Gate, which is southwest, was originally the west outer gate of the Qin Wang Mansion, was originally the west outer gate of the Qin Wang Mansion, which was only moved outward and changed its name when the Mancheng was built; and the new city gate to the north of the west wall was built because it was built when the Mancheng was built.

Wu Sangui's army captured the city and quickly controlled the city walls and gates. The Eight Banners defeated soldiers and the families who could not escape could only shrink inside.

"The soldiers obeyed the orders, and the barbarians had been slaughtering the Han people for decades. As early as Liaodong, they slaughtered the Liao people, and after entering the pass, they became even more severe. Our army has now captured Xi'an, and there is a whole city of barbarians. Now, the president of the world's water and land master Xingming to attack the general, and the Hanzhong King Wu Youling slaughtered this city and sealed the sword for three days!"

The order to massacre the city was issued. It was not someone else who entered the city, but it was the loyal and brave and righteous camps he relied on to defeat the Eight Banners Army. The entire city was also divided into ten areas, each area with one camp, which was unbiased.

The army entered the city and headed to their respective divisions along the streets and alleys. The Eight Banners defeated soldiers organized some troops, but they were not a united enemy at all. At most, they used the terrain to suddenly shoot cold arrows, which was better than nothing.

The Eight Banners Army massacred the city in various places, but this time they were slaughtered. They were already mentally prepared. Before the Guanning Army entered, many Manchu and Mongolian women threw themselves into the bus, jumped into wells, and were even killed by men at home. After the Guanning Army entered, facing resistance, they naturally followed the principle of killing without mercy. Except for those women, young children could be pulled out to be humiliated, and no one else was left.

The whole city of Xi'an was soon reduced to a hell on earth, with crying sounds trembling, one after another. These Eight Banners Army and their families would never have thought that when their invincible myth was broken by Chen Wen, even Wu Sangui would jump out and slaughter them.

In the whole city, the Guanning army killed people when they saw them, broke into houses when they saw them, and took away all valuable things. The battalions even threw the captured women and children into designated areas and humiliated them.

This is true in the city of Mancheng. In fact, plunder and killing the people were inevitable when siegeing the city. However, when the crying sounds in the city came out, the people in the city stopped and listened to the hissings that would only come from hell, and shouted happily, as if the music of heaven. Only those survivors who were killed and robbed when the Guanning Army broke the city and were robbed, and the families of the victims, did not know whether they should dare to take a secret after seeing Chen Wen breaking the myth of the invincible battle of the Eight Banners of Manchuria. On weekdays, they would rather follow the Tartars to harm the people and shout it out loud.

This was the case for an afternoon. At night, the carnival in the city was far from over. Three-day sealing of the sword was an order issued by Wu Sangui. However, with the few people in the city, it is estimated that they will be almost killed tomorrow. What remains is nothing more than torture of those captives of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners who are worse than death. But what is it compared to the Qing army slaughtering the city over the years?

In history, in the Xinhai Revolution more than two hundred years later, such a scene was also staged in Mancheng, Shaanxi. However, in comparison, the bloodiness was far less than that of now. Not only was the Guanning Army's military discipline worse, but more importantly, the Qing Dynasty's killing of the Han people was right in front of us, and Wu Sangui's troops needed blood from the city to clear the stains on their bodies, at least they thought this could be done.

There was originally a Qin Palace in Xi'an Prefecture, which was built when Zhu Cheng, the second son of the Ming Dynasty's founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, was founded. After more than two hundred years, it was the Dashun Palace that was once Li Zicheng at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Although this seemed a bit unlucky to do with Li Zicheng, the victory was because it was high enough, and as the head of the prince Wu Sangui, it was far better than it.

However, when the city was built, the Qin Palace was placed in the city. Not only was the exterior wall demolished, the inner city was also converted into the schoolyard of the Eight Banners Army. Now, the massacre is still in progress, so Wu Sangui naturally could not enter the city to work, so he arranged the headquarters to the Governor of the Three Borders of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Anyway, Li Guoying, a stubborn fool, had already been sacrificed by him, and he did not intend to appoint any other official positions such as the Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

After Guo Zhuangtu's investigation, the reason why Shaanxi Governor Chen Jixin did not allow him to enter the city was that the trick of scamming the city had already been revealed in the process of collecting Fengxiang Prefecture City from the middle of the journey northward. The escaped Qing army reported the possibility of collusion between Wu Sangui and Zhang Tianfu to Shaanxi Governor Chen Jixin. When Wu Sangui led the defeated troops, Chen Jixin was worried that Wu Sangui was cheating the city, and suspected that the green camp soldier who reported the news was lying or guessing that he had to close the city gate and politely rejected Wu Sangui's request to enter the city.

Previously, Wu Sangui performed hat tricks to deceive the city in Lanzhou Prefecture, Gongchang Prefecture and Fengxiang Prefecture along the Weishui Prefecture, and the county towns successively performed hat tricks to deceive the city, which was invincible. But in this world, there were always times when scammers failed. After all, they had to decide the outcome with real swords and guns. Wu Sangui had indeed played the role of the killer created by the Ganzhou Green Camp Returning Group that flew back to Shaanxi from Jiangxi back to Shaanxi.

At this moment, Wu Sangui was full of confidence and full of longing for the future. He was only forty-six years old now, in his prime, with tens of thousands of armor under his command, and was the most powerful force in the northwest of the Han area. It was incomparable to the old man who was already 62 years old during the Three Feudal Rebellion in the following years.

"I just don't know what title the court will give me, preferably the King of Zhou, or even the King of Liao. At that time, the three kings of Zhou, Jin and Shu will check and balance the King of Yue's family. The court should be willing to play tricks of big and small generals here. The emperor and civil officials are willing, so they will not be stingy with the throne."

In the Ming Dynasty, the title of prince was not given a different surname. In the Southern Ming Dynasty, Sun Kewang forced it to break this convention. In contrast, the two vassals of King Jin and King Shu, Yongli was willing to pay the reward for the great achievements of saving the throne. It was actually related to Sun Kewang, and there was a cause to have a result. Even Chen Wen's title of King Yue and King Qi was related to Sun Kewang. One was the great contribution to regaining Nanjing, which was enthroned by Sun Kewang, and the other was the king who served thousands of miles away. He only got it by beating Sun Kewang.

Wu Sangui was extremely beneficial to the Yongli court anyway. First, the road to the north was opened, followed by northern Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places having changed their banners, and again, there was a route to attack the capital. Finally, Wu Sangui's Guanning Army can be used to cooperate with other vassal states to check and balance Chen Wen, the strongest, and win more than one shot. Will a prince still be stingy?

"Only with the title of prince can we better attract people's hearts and turn this northwest land into a vassal state of Wu Sangui, just like in western Liaoning back then. At least we cannot be suppressed by Li Dingguo, otherwise we will be married to the emperor of the Zhu family and the bandit of Li Dingguo for free. It would be better to close the door and call it a widow, and compile a large Spanish formation of tens of thousands of people and then travel east to the east to make it easier."

The Qing Dynasty was defeated several times by Chen Wen in Jiangnan, and its strength was greatly weakened. Wu Sangui now eliminated the Eight Banners of the garrison, and the situation was even better. It was precisely with such a victory that the generals of this Guanning Army also felt that the future was bright, and the celebration banquet here was even more cheerful.

Wu Sangui drank a glass of fine wine, and such pleasure had not been seen for a long time. The dancers in the hall danced gracefully, and the musicians were also playing hard. Both the singing and dancing set off the atmosphere of great victory. The generals present naturally raised their cups and ate them from time to time, and would get up to congratulate Wu Sangui.

Inside the high wall, the cry of Mongolian family members in Manchuria and the laughter of the city massacre were intertwined, and the shaft outside the high wall was filled with cups and singing and dancing. At this moment when joy and sorrow were intertwined, Wu Sangui's personal captain rushed in from outside the hall and came to Wu Sangui's ear and whispered a few words.

"Why are you still standing there? Putting incense tables, and invite angels."

Angel?

The generals who were still immersed in the atmosphere of the celebration banquet were stunned at first, then they remembered the reinforcements mentioned by Wu Sangui, and then followed Wu Sangui to the courtyard outside the hall.

The envoy of the Yongli court was a team of eunuchs guarded by Ming troops. Their clothes were just changed, but they still couldn't hide the wind and frost on the road.

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: The former general of Zhenningshan Haiguan, King Wu Sangui..."

Before the case of Wu Sangui's revenge, the male duck's voice sounded, and Wu Sangui also confirmed the identity of a minister of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The president ordered the president to be a general in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Zhili and Shandong provinces to be a general in the suppression of the sea and land, and specially gave python jade to act cheaply, and put the seal of the vanguard general in the attack on the enemy, the left governor of the Right Army Governor's Office, the Taibao and the Prince of the Prince, and the King of Ji Wu Sangui also announced it.

He did not get the King of Zhou or the King of Liao, but it was always good to have a title from a prince. In addition, many of the generals under his command were rewarded. However, after Wu Sangui got the title of this prince, his most concerned thing was when reinforcements arrived. This was a matter of life and death.

"Reported to His Highness King Ji, when the Za family set off, His Highness King Shu had personally led an army of 50,000 to go north through Sichuan Xingdusi. Now I think I'm already on the way."

"That's good, that's good. Relying on the Emperor Hong Fu, the soldiers used their lives, I just defeated the enemy troops in Xi'an and annihilated no less than 5,000 Eight Banners Army. Now that the reinforcements from the court arrive, I can rush my troops to advance eastward and clear out the Hujie in the northern part. If you can get the help of His Highness the King of Shu, it is like a tiger adding wings. How can the enemy's court not perish?"

It was Liu Wenxiu, not Li Dingguo, and Wu Sangui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The reason was that Liu Wenxiu was once his defeated man. Although the victory was very thrilling, even afterwards he had never met such a strong opponent in his life, for Wu Sangui, who is now soaring in confidence, Liu Wenxiu is a better choice.
