The Qing army general took off his helmet, revealing his rat tail not the money, but his hair tied! He only heard the "Qing general" laughing: "The surname is Yang, let you understand today. I am not a Jiannu, I am the Duke of Chu Li Laoer!" "Why are you?" Yang Zhan asked in horror.

Li Guodong laughed: "If we didn't pretend to be Jiannu, would you open the city for us?"

Needless to say, the answer is definitely no. The Duke of Chu is famous for his reputation, and the gentry officials and rebel generals are afraid of him. As long as it is not time to be able to defend, who dares to open the door for him?

Li Guodong used a linked series of strategies to help the Zhongzhen Camp and the Daxi Army break Chongqing, making the Zhongzhen Camp and the Daxi Army connected together, opening up the transportation in Sichuan, and exposing the Chengdu occupied by the Qing army to the firepower of the Zhongzhen Camp and the Daxi Army.

When the city of Chongqing was broken, when the Ming army guarding the city understood that it was not the Qing army that was attacking, but the Duke of Chu led the Zhongzhen Camp and the Daxi Army into the city, the Ming army in the city chose to surrender one after another.

Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, surrendered, and Pi Xiong and Wang Xiang and other generals surrendered. Zeng Ying and his wife Dong Qiongying led the servants and Miao Min female soldiers to fight stubbornly. However, when Han Dashan and Hao Yaoqi led elite soldiers into Zeng Mansion, Zeng Ying and his wife were both captured, and more than 300 Miao Min female soldiers were all captured.

Because Hao Yaoqi and others were interested in showing mercy, Dong Qiongying's Miao Min female soldiers did not suffer any casualties. After these female soldiers were captured, many men in the army looked at them intently. Although these Miao Min girls were generous and rough, they were also embarrassed to lower their heads.

Zeng Ying and his wife were taken to Li Guodong, and he still cursed: "Li thief! As an important official of the court, you are actually a thief!"

Li Guodong said: "Whether it is a thief or a thief, it is all in the past. Now they are already the officers and soldiers of the court! My Ming Dynasty is eyeing Jiannu, but it is not in harmony. If Li had not turned the tide in Yangzhou, the Ming Dynasty would have been annexed by Jiannu! Today, to stop the invasion of foreign races, we can only unite all forces that can unite to attack Jiannu together!"

"Bah!" Zeng Ying spitted a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Don't be so sweet about Li Zhe! Zeng will never surrender! If you want to kill and cut, you will be destined to be killed and cut!"

Li Guodong walked down the steps, walked to Zeng Ying, and untied the rope with his own hands: "General Zeng is loyal and admired by Li. If you refuse to surrender to me, then I will let you go today. You can go to Guangxi, Yunnan, and go back to pull up your troops and fight again."

Zeng Ying was deeply moved and knelt down and said, "I am willing to surrender to the Duke of the Kingdom!"

"Hahaha!" Li Guodong laughed, "I got General Zeng, and I would be like a tiger with wings! I will soon be able to fight the Central Plains in the north and restore the capital!"

Dong Qiongying said: "The husband and wife follow you. Since your husband chose to follow the Duke of the Kingdom, I am willing to serve the Duke of the Kingdom. I hope the Duke of the Kingdom can treat the 300 Miao female soldiers well."

Li Guodong smiled and said, "My Duke is pitying for the sake of his beauty and will naturally treat these girls well. If there is a girl who is not married yet, you can find a good husband for them."

Next, Li Guodong began to arrange other surrendered generals, such as Wang Xiang, Pi Xiong, etc., to continue to lead troops, but the surrendered Ming army was reorganized into engineer soldiers and temporarily stationed farms. When the troops were blown up in the future, they would be pulled out to use them. The surrendered Wang Yingxiong was sent back to the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing, waiting for the court to arrange for the dispatch.

"Chongqing has been conquered. You can take advantage of the opportunity when Haoge was recalled by Dorgon to the capital and beheaded the two armies to form a unit, take direct control of Chengdu, kill Zhao Liangdong, and avenge General Zhang. Li still needs to return to Guangdong quickly, so he cannot accompany you to attack Chengdu." Li Guodong dealt with the surrendered generals, turned around and said to Li Dingguo and others.

Li Dingguo saluted: "Uncle Li was already a great kindness to capture Chengdu for our army. Zhao Liangdong's dog thief, we will take his life!"

Li Guodong told Li Dingguo: "Dingguo nephew, no matter whether you surrender to your own duke or choose to cooperate with us, I will provide you with your weapons, ammunition and food and salary in the future! What we want to do is not only defeat Jiannu, but also expand the territory and open up the passage between the Ming Dynasty and the West. In the future, our Ming cavalry can return to the Western Regions! In addition, we must also develop towards a vast overseas, and you will all become heroes who expand the territory!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Li!" Li Guodong knelt down and saluted.

It is necessary to do more important things if Li Guodong rushed back to Guangdong. At present, Li Guodong has incorporated the Zhongzhen Camp and the Daxi Army. In addition to the Ming army surrendered from various groups, this has made his troops at hand reach an astonishing more than 400,000 troops!

Now there are many people and few weapons. Most of the troops of Zhongzhen Camp and the Daxi Army are too poor, so they need to build excellent weapons. In addition, Li Guodong also plans to carry out military reforms, and Foshan has fallen into the hands of the Huai Army. In this way, Li Guodong will control most of the steel industry in the Ming Dynasty and build a large number of new weapons.

As long as the mass production of excellent spring steel blades can be produced, flintlock rifles will become popular. Once the mass production of flintlock rifles begins, the old-fashioned flintlock rifles can be eliminated and the army will be replaced with flintlock rifles.

Compared with a flintlock gun, the reloading speed is fast and the flintlock will not affect your comrades. This way the formation will be more dense and allows the musketeers to exert greater power. If the flintlock gun is equipped with an excellent bayonet, it can cancel the spearmen and become a whole firearm unit.

However, heavy armored soldiers are still retained. The armored soldiers are actually half-fire weapons. They are transformed into armored grenades and equipped with fire-pulling grenades. They first drop bombs before approaching the enemy, blow up the enemy's formation, and then charge. With their incomprehensible armor and strong iron shields, the armored soldiers can charge at the opponent's musket formation and drop bombs after getting close. Moreover, the armored soldiers are flesh shields that effectively protect the muskets from attacks by the opponent's bows and arrows.

When Li Guodong returned to Guangdong, Fang Yizhi, Chen Zilong, Song Yingxing and others had successfully integrated Foshan's steel industry.

When Li Guodong returned to Guangzhou, he couldn't wait to go to Foshan the next morning to visit the situation of Foshan's steel industry integrated by Fang Yizhi and others. After all, the steel industry is the most important foundation. After capturing Li Guodong from the entire Guangdong, he could only start preparing for the industrial revolution. Steel is the foundation of all industries and the foundation of weapon development. After controlling the Guangdong steel industry, he controlled two-thirds of the steel on the mainland of China, providing the necessary conditions for future outbreaks.

Take a boat from the west of Guangzhou City to cross the Pearl River and arrive in Foshan.
