The military discipline of the Daxi Army was not too strict, but its combat effectiveness has always been considerable. This is mainly because the commanders allowed soldiers to loot after victory.

Although this approach is a bit barbaric, it has to be said to be able to inspire soldiers' fighting spirit.

The soldiers felt that fighting was no longer for the general but for themselves, so they dared to fight to the death.

Of course, the difference between humans and animals is that people are still polite, righteous, honest and shameful.

There is an unwritten rule in the Daxi Army, that is, only plundering for three days after the city is broken. After more than three days, the robbers are still beheaded and displayed for public display.

It is precisely because of such strict regulations that the soldiers are still very "rules".

Because it's about your head.

Gold, silver, money and wealth are important, but life is even more important.

If you don’t have money, you can grab it again, but if you don’t have life, you’ll be completely over.

During the pre-war mobilization of attacking Kunming, Zhang Wenxiu emphasized this again, and all soldiers patted their chests to ensure that they would abide by military discipline.

After everything was ready, Zhang Wenxiu issued an order to attack the city.

Zhang Dingguo did not compete with him. In his opinion, whoever serves as the commander is not the most important thing. The important thing is that he must take over Kunming in one go.

If Kunming can be taken down, the Western Army can issue orders in the form of a victorious person and control the entire Yunnan.

And if the battle is in a stalemate, an accident is likely to happen.

Ye Changmeng said this more.

So the soldiers of the Daxi Army rushed under the cover of the rushing car toward the Kunming city wall.

The outside of the rusher was wrapped with a thick layer of felt, and ordinary arrows could not cause damage to it.

The soldiers hiding in the rushing car are safe. As long as the artillery is not bombarding them, they will not have any worries about their lives.

But when they gathered all their strength to push the cart to the city gate, a strange scene appeared.

The car crashed into the city gate and then opened.

What does this mean?

Generally speaking, the city guards will reinforce the city gate. Even if they are not blocked by the city gate, they will not be able to open it if they hit it.

The soldiers of the Daxi Army were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.

The generals reacted quickly and ordered them to rush into the city.

His grandmother, if someone gives you a big gift, you won’t accept it yet. Isn’t it natural for you to accept it?

More and more soldiers of the Great Western Army rushed into the city along the city gate.

Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo did not rush into the city.

All this is too unusual.

There will be a monster when things happen. They want to see what tricks the Ming army is playing.

The Daxi Army, who entered the city soon controlled the city gates.

To their surprise, all the bombed walls were not repaired, and many gaps could even accommodate more than a dozen people in and out at the same time.

What's even more strange is that there is no trace of Ming army in the entire city. All the houses and houses on the street are closed, and there is no one on the street.

This is an empty city!

After confirming this, a special person went to report to Zhang Wenxiu and Zhang Dingguo.

The two of them couldn't help but feel curiosity and entered the city one by one.

There is no doubt that the Western Army has controlled Kunming City. But what is the significance of this? There is no living person in the entire city, and the Western Army cannot even get taxes to catch the strong men.

Does it mean that Jun got the news in advance and was afraid?

But even if the Ming army voluntarily withdrew from Kunming, the people in the city should not have disappeared.

The Ming army had no reason to bring these burdens with them. One person had a mouth. How much food did they have enough food to eat?

Zhang Wenxiu ordered his soldiers to search the entire city and immediately reported the suspicious person. He didn't believe there was no one in the city.

As for Shadingzhou, it was extremely embarrassing.

He had previously boasted that there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Haikou City, but he saw an empty city.

Sha Dingzhou swallowed and smiled embarrassedly, "It must be because the Ming thief was afraid of the power of the two generals, so he fled in panic overnight."

Little did he know that his flattery hit the horse's leg, Zhang Wenxiu snorted coldly, "You can't even beat such a weak Ming army, isn't it too stupid, right?"

Sha Dingzhou's face immediately turned into pig liver color.

Yes, the more weak he described the Ming army, the more he proved his disbelief.

He can't even beat such a weak Ming army, but why is he not a fool?

Zhang Dingguo coughed and said, "No matter what, Kunming has been taken down, we should repair the city wall first."

Zhang Wenxiu nodded: "Dingguo is right. Don't worry about the conspiracy and tricks of the Ming army, it is important to tighten the fence first. In this way, we are not afraid of no matter which direction the Ming army comes from!"

Humph, don’t you want to sing the empty city plan? Then let you sing and see who can laugh to the end.

Repairing the city walls was very time-consuming, so Zhang Wenxiu didn't dare to delay and arrange them immediately.

He himself, Zhang Dingguo and Sha Dingzhou entered the Duke of Qian and were resting for a while.

All the rice and grain in the city's granary were moved away without any surprises. Fortunately, the Western Army carried enough food and fodder with the army, so there would be no problems within a month.

Chuxiong Mansion is not far from Kunming, and even if it is transported, it is still time to transport grain.

...

...

All the pirates captured from the Guangzhou ship were taken to the Dengzhou prison.

Denglai Governor Zhang Kentang, accompanied by the magistrate Yuan Weitai, personally entered the prison to interrogate the prisoner.

Such actions scared the prisoner.

The governor was an absolute chief official, and he actually surrendered to the prison to interrogate the prison. They naturally paid 10,000 yuan to be careful, for fear that the poor service would make the nobles angry.

In order to strive to show off in front of the governor, the prison guards used their unique skills.

Those pirates were tortured by various torture instruments and finally some people couldn't resist confessing to the facts.

It turns out that they are not only pirates from Fujian, but also have connections with the Zheng family.

It was Zheng Zhilong who entrusted them to transport the grain to Tianjin Wei and delivered it to the Qing army.

Zhang Kentang was shocked after learning the news.

He vaguely heard the news that Zheng Zhilong and the Donglu had secretly communicated with each other a song a month ago. He didn't care at the time, but later the news became more and more serious. Some censors even impeached Zheng Zhilong with this. Although these memorials were kept by the emperor and refused to be published, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Your Majesty was very angry.

Your Majesty once sent an imperial envoy to Fujian to promulgate, and ordered Zheng Zhilong to come to Beijing to report his duties.

As a result, the Qin envoy died mysteriously in a fire. Zheng Zhilong himself was also ill and said he could not enter Beijing.

The uproar was in full swing at that time.

I didn't expect that these are really groundless.

If Zheng Zhilong really secretly contacted the Eastern Barbarians, it would be an extremely terrible thing.

What is the Donglu most shortage? Of course, it is food. Zheng Zhilong can provide food to the Donglu. Even if the imperial court imposes a blockade on Fujian, Zheng Zhilong can send a navy to Nanyang to buy it.

But the process is more complicated and tortuous.

This is a bolt from the blue!
