After the Qing army entered the pass, two major tragedies were created: "Ten Days of Yangzhou" and "Three Massacres of Jiading". According to later statistics, the number of 800,000 corpses collected by monks in the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" was more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians killed and injured in the "Three Massacres of Jiading".

Li Chengdong is the creator of the "Three Massacres of Jiading".

Li Chengdong was originally a subordinate of Li Zicheng's old subordinate Gao Jie. Gao Jie surrendered to the Ming Dynasty because of his affair with Li Zicheng's wife Xing. After the Qing army crossed the river, Li Chengdong colluded with Xing again, killed Gao Jie and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. After the "Three Massacres of Jiading", Li Chengdong was favored by the Qing court and was named the governor of Jiangnan. This time he went south and eradicated the "Longwu" regime, and he became a vanguard again.

At this time, Li Chengdong was full of experience and a little resentment and injustice that he had been subordinate to others.

Because of this southern expedition, the commander was Tong Yangjia, who was the deputy. In terms of level, Li Chengdong was the governor of Jiangnan, while Tong Yangjia was Zhang Jing; in terms of number of troops, almost all the 50,000 troops were under Li Chengdong's subordinates, and only one thousand troops belonged to Tong Yangjia; in terms of credit, almost every city in Fujian was captured by Li Chengdong himself.

The reason why Tong Yangjia is the head coach and he is the deputy is because Tong Yangjia is a bannerman and Li Chengdong is a Han Chinese.

Therefore, Li Chengdong always feels dissatisfied with "making a wedding dress for others".

After pacifying Fujian, he killed Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian, and Li Chengdong led his troops to Guangdong. He did not spend any soldiers or soldiers wherever he went. He just had to station troops at the city and read a letter of surrender. The officials guarding the city obediently offered the city. At the same time, he ordered the former Ming Dynasty to surrender and wrote a letter to Guangzhou to report safety.

In this way, Li Chengdong quickly occupied Chaozhou and Huizhou, and quietly approached the east gate of Guangzhou.

...

The former prefect of Huizhou Prefecture became the temporary chief account of Li Chengdong, deputy general of the Qing Dynasty's Southern Army.

Li Chengdong is not tall, neither fat nor thin, with bright eyes, his lips pursed, and two deep lines erected on both sides of his lips, which look like a knife and axe carved, and looks murderous. He wears a red coral top, peacock feather, a nine-python five-clawed python robe, and a lion dress.

"Dear generals, our army occupied Huizhou without bloodshed, and it was less than 300 miles away from Guangzhou. The Shaowu army and the Yongli army were fighting fiercely in Sanshui. The city was very empty. There was no expectation for our army to move so quickly. We must not miss the opportunity, and we will not come again. Our army attacked Chaozhou. The news of Huizhou cannot be hidden for too long. I intend to send a small group of troops to advance day and night. Before the Shaowu army could react, we will attack Guangzhou City in surprise. I will lead a large group of troops to follow up. It can be decided by Guangdong in one battle!"

Li Chengdong stood after the case of the coach, followed the case with both hands, glanced at the dozen generals standing under the hall, and said confidently.

"Please give the order!" The generals clasped their fists and agreed loudly.

"Okay, Luo Chengyao obeys the order!"

"Tagged!" A short, chubby officer in guerrilla general's uniform stepped out, shook his horse's hooves and knelt on one knee.

"I ordered you to take the 300 soldiers from the headquarters and set off immediately. Remember to put on the Ming army's clothes, blanched cloth, and sneak into Guangzhou City. After entering the city, first capture the palace, destroy the main pivot, and make it unworkable, and then occupy the east gate to welcome the army into the city. Remember, today is the 16th day, and you must launch an attack before noon on the 25th."

"As for the order!" Luo Chengyao took the order and threw a grateful look at Li Chengyin, who was standing at the sermon after Yu Shuai's account, and then retreated aside with great pride.

Li Chengyin is Li Chengdong's adopted son and has a close relationship with Luo Chengyao. He seized the first meritorious general in Guangzhou and gave it to Luo Chengyao. Luo Chengyao thought he was benefiting from Li Chengyin's glory.

As for whether the surprise attack can be successful, it is not within his consideration. Since the army entered Fujian, it has captured cities and land, and has no effort to cover more than 40 cities. A Guangzhou City with empty troops has another surprise attack, so how can it not be successful?

"Du Yonghe obeys the order!" Li Chengdong pulled out another big order.

"The mark is here!" A genital general in his thirties took the list.

"I ordered you to bring 5,000 troops from the headquarters to guard Huizhou, and there must be no mistakes!"

"As for the order!" Du Yonghe reluctantly accepted the order.

The capture of Guangzhou is not only a battle to capture cities and territories, but also a battle to destroy the country. Although the Shaowu Dynasty had just been established for a month, it was still considered a country after all.

Who doesn’t want to get a share of this kind of achievements in destroying a country?

However, Du Yonghe knew that Li Chengdong's army was very strict and could not tolerate any disobedience. Even though he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey the order.

"The rest of the generals rectify their troops and set off tomorrow at the hour of the day."

"Abide by the order!"

...

"It's so uncomfortable to wear this Luo Shi!"

Li Chengdong and Li Chengyin returned to the back hall, Li Chengyin took off his top dress and gently slapped it on the table.

"Yin'er, you dare to say that?!" Li Chengdong looked at the door and saw that the guards were all his personal soldiers. He turned around and scolded him.

"The adoptive father is all his own people, what are you afraid of?" Li Chengyin said indifferently.

"Be careful that there are ears in the partition walls!"

"Yes, the adoptive father, the son knows."

Li Chengyin waited for Li Chengdong to sit down, went over and stood behind him, and gently pinched his shoulders.

Li Chengdong closed his eyes and enjoyed the filial piety of his adopted son. When he felt that the muscles on his shoulders were relaxed, he patted Li Chengyin's back of his hand and signaled him to stop.

Li Chengdong took out the seal from the prefect of Huizhou from his arms, looked carefully, and threw it aside.

Li Chengyin knew that his adoptive father had the habit of collecting seals. Seeing that he was not interested in the seal, he quickly said, "Entertainment Father, you have collected more than 40 seals. What's the use of this?"

"Hey, Yin'er, my adoptive father wanted to exchange these seals for a Governor's seal." Li Chengdong sighed and said.

"Enjoyed Father, you did not wait for Lord Tong to take action alone in this attack on Guangzhou. Will Lord Tong feel dissatisfied?" Li Chengyin asked with some concern.

"Hmph! Has Tong Yangjia fought a battle since he entered Fujian? Which battle was not the credit of you, my father and son? He was a little Zhang Jing, but his official position was above me, and he was not as good as a bannerman? We are Han people, and we are born with a lack of money. However, with more than 40 seals, plus the achievements of Longwu and Shaowu, the court would not give him a title, so he would have to give him the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, right?" Li Chengdong said angrily.

After hearing this, Li Chengyin realized that his adoptive father was eager to capture Guangzhou, because he had selfish intentions for Tong Yangjia to seize the merits.

Li Chengyin was silent for a while and asked in a low voice: "Enjoyed Father, according to your opinion, has the Ming Dynasty really gone?"

Li Chengdong knew what he was thinking, looked back at him, and whispered: "Yin'er, the Ming Dynasty has endless energy. Does it have anything to do with our men? Do you think we men still have room to turn back?"

Li Chengyin knew what his adoptive father meant. He killed people like a slaughter. The "Three Massacres of Jiading" made him famous. The Han people hated him to the core and could not help the Qing Dynasty to conquer the world.
