Emperor Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan and others.

After contacting Xiang Batian, the accomplice, several times in a row.

Yuan Chonghuan and his men made various plans.

Afterwards, Duke Ying, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and others once again led the army to attack the city.

During the day, the fighting was still as fierce as usual. Both sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and the killing was overwhelming.

The defenders suffered fewer casualties because they received a large number of artillery from the red-haired devils.

With sufficient artillery and ammunition, the defenders naturally have the advantage.

Yuan Chonghuan and his soldiers launched fierce attacks all day long.

Although this exhausted the enemy, their own casualties were also quite heavy.

This was exactly the "strategy to tire out the teacher" they had discussed.

After a whole day of fierce fighting, Yuan Chonghuan and his men called off the battle and retreated to a distant camp to rest.

The soldiers defending the city were equally exhausted.

By midnight, many soldiers defending the city fell asleep.

Then, Xiang Batian and his men began to take action...

……

Xiang Batian led his trusted men.

Quietly came to the city gate,

They quickly killed the soldiers guarding the city gate with lightning speed.

Then they gently pushed open the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Batian sent a signal according to the agreed method.

Yuan Chonghuan and others had been ready for battle.

After receiving the signal and seeing that the city gate had been opened.

He immediately led his elite cavalry and charged forward like lightning.

The cavalry began to charge.

The other soldiers defending the city immediately realized that something was wrong.

But by the time they reacted, it was too late.

Yuan Chonghuan and his men had successfully rushed out of the city.

Then, this group of galloping cavalry rushed into the city at an astonishing speed.

He quickly took control of the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, Zu Dashou led a large army and charged into the city.

Zheng Zhilong was still immersed in his sweet dream.

He and his main generals were awakened by the sudden sounds of fighting and the tragic screams in the city.

That told me to quickly organize troops to counterattack.

But at this moment, the situation has completely gotten out of control.

Xiang Batian and Yuan Chonghuan and others.

He was leading his troops with high morale and launching a bloody purge in the city.

Anyone who might be a threat would be killed immediately with his sword.

Zheng Zhilong and the main members of those aristocratic families.

After learning that the situation was irreversible, he panicked and fled desperately towards the city gate with a group of close associates.

They hacked and killed anyone who stood in their way like crazy.

Just to escape from this city of death as soon as possible.

Finally, they fought their way out.

Hurry and run towards the beach...

……

Zheng Zhilong and his men attempted to flee to the seaside.

Then take a boat from the dock to escape from this place.

After losing the city and most of the troops.

Zheng Zhilong knew they were playing tricks.

He no longer had the ability to fight against the emperor of the same city.

So at this time, run as far as you can...

However, when they were halfway to escape to the dock, they were unfortunately ambushed again.

Yuan Chonghuan had already calculated this.

And sent troops to ambush halfway.

Sure enough, Zheng Zhilong and his men arrived, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Zheng Zhilong, his cronies, and the core members of the aristocratic families were almost wiped out in this fierce battle.

In the end, only a small number of people became prisoners.

At the same time, in a small town that was renamed Yingtianfu.

After Zheng Zhilong and others fled.

Their soldiers lost their command, became a disorganized group, and their resistance gradually weakened.

Yuan Chonghuan and others quickly took control of the entire city and launched a brutal purge.

Whether they were from aristocratic families or Buddhists, none of them were spared and were killed.

All of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates, anyone with a little status, suffered the same fate.

In fact, Yuan Chonghuan and others did not fully agree with this approach.

But Emperor Chongzhen insisted on doing so.

They can only follow orders and execute...

……

Yuan Chonghuan and his colleagues’ reason was that the population was too small.

Instead of killing all these people, it would be better to keep them as laborers.

After all, everything is starting from scratch now, and everything requires a lot of manpower.

And these people can become the labor force and contribute to national construction.

Emperor Chongzhen had equally good reasons.

After a series of events, he had seen the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's decline - the aristocratic families.

Therefore, he decided to follow the example of Mao Wenlong and eliminate all the aristocratic families.

Only in this way can he flex his muscles and govern and develop the new country according to his own wishes.

If he doesn't do this, he will be hindered in doing anything he wants to do, and some people may even pretend to obey him but actually disobey him.

This makes it difficult for anything to succeed.

There is another important reason.

That started from the time of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Many princes of the Zhu royal family who were enfeoffed in various places also followed Zheng Zhilong and others to flee.

And arrived at this new continent ahead of time.

Unfortunately, they were eventually purged by Zheng Zhilong and others.

This gave Emperor Chongzhen another reason to avenge his royal family.

Others did not dare to object too much.

Then we can only do as Emperor Chongzhen said...

……

After a night of fighting and cleansing.

Emperor Chongzhen and his men successfully occupied the small town.

The Ming Dynasty court finally had a place to stay.

Then the great contributor Xiang Batian was directly conferred the title of marquis, and was also a powerful military general who could lead troops.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen did not trust Xiang Batian either.

After giving him some rewards, Xiang Batian was sent hundreds of miles away to lead his people to open up wasteland and cultivate the land.

By the way, build a city there.

It seemed that Xiang Batian and his men were squeezed out of the center of power.

They are specialized in doing some hard labor work such as guarding the border and opening up wasteland.

However, what Emperor Chongzhen and his men did not expect was.

This is exactly the opportunity Xiang Batian wants...
