Zhao Liangdong's servant pushed the hostages and blocked the gate, shouting at the Daxi Army who was killing: "If you attack again, we will kill more than 100 people here!"

"To Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and the others shouted to make way for us to pass through Jiange, and naturally we would release all our family!" Zhao Liangdong shouted to his servants.

Li Dingguo, who was the first to enter the city, was hesitant. He was afraid of accidentally hurting the lives of innocent people and did not dare to launch an attack.

Sun Kewang rushed over and saw that Li Dingguo stopped attacking, he stepped forward and asked, "Second brother, why don't you fight?"

"They took innocent people as hostages." Li Dingguo replied.

"Innocent people? Who is this family?" Sun Kewang asked.

Li Dingguo replied: "This family is a gentry in Chengdu. Before our Great Western Army occupied Chengdu, they ran away. Later, Jiannu attacked Chengdu and they came back."

Sun Kewang laughed: "Since they are gentry, why do you think so much? If you attack, they deserve it if they die!"

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "I also know that those gentry deserve to die, but the maids and servants here are innocent, and I can't bear to watch them get hurt."

"The kindness of a woman!" Sun Kewang snorted.

Then Sun Kewang ordered an attack, but Li Dingguo could not stop it. After all, Sun Kewang had the final say in the current Daxi Army. Sun Kewang was the boss of the Daxi Army, and Li Dingguo was just his deputy.

The final battle of the tragic battle of Chengdu began. In this last battle, it can be said that flesh and blood were flying everywhere and extremely cruel. More than 160 people were taken hostage by Zhao Liangdong, 115 people died, and all 100 Zhao Liangdong's servants were killed, and Zhao Liangdong himself was also killed. The attacking Daxi Army suffered a lot of losses. Facing Zhao Liangdong who was fighting stubbornly, the Daxi Army lost more than 500 cannon fodder and more than 60 veterans before annihilated Zhao Liangdong.

The battle of Chengdu, which lasted for a year and a half, finally came to an end. More than 100,000 Qing troops were wiped out. Zhao Liangdong, the chief general of the Qing army in the Green Camp, was killed. Aixinga, the general of the Eight Banners of the Qing army, committed suicide. The general of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners, Tuhai and the general of the Green Camp, surrendered. More than 1,500 people were killed in the five thousand eight banners, and all the rest surrendered; more than 30,000 Green Camp soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 70,000 people surrendered to the Daxi Army.

The 70,000 Green Camp prisoners were kept by the Daxi Army and all were organized into the cannon fodder camp. The 3,500 prisoners of the 3,500 prisoners of the Daxi Army and the Duke of Chu were handed over to Li Guodong according to the agreement between the Daxi Army and the Duke of Chu.

Zhao Liangdong and Wang Jinbao were killed in the battle of Chengdu, and Sun Sike surrendered. In the history of the Four Han generals of Hejian, except for Zhang Yong who was still beside Hong Chengchou, the other three were either killed or surrendered. From then on, there would be no Four Han generals of Hejian. The surrendered Sun Sike was also incorporated into the cannon fodder camp of the Daxi Army and served as a Thousand General Officer. Later, when the Daxi Army was fighting south to Myanmar, Sun Sike was killed in front of the Burmese musketeers when he attacked the Burmese army in Myanmar.

Transport ships loaded with prisoners of the Eight Banners soldiers went downstream and arrived in Nanjing.

After Li Guodong took over these Eight Banners Army, he first organized them into the prisoner-of-war camp and then sent them to the Qiongzhou Iron Mine. These prisoners would need to go through one to five years of labor before they would be sent to the immigrant ships.

The Eight Banners captives were sent to the Qiongzhou Iron Mine prisoner war camp, where they not only had to carry out labor, but also cultural and ideological education, turning them into real Chinese people, and then they could be sent overseas to carry out colonial activities.

With less than a year left after the five years of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Li Guodong, on the one hand, asked the Jinyiwei to speed up the home search and crack down on the traditional land gentry, and on the other hand, he accelerated the transformation of some promising enlightened gentry.

Although the two brothers Qi Lisun and Qi Bansun in Shanyin are also gentry in Jiangnan, they are also traditional land gentry. Last time the Lu King rebelled, the two brothers did not participate in the parade of 10,000 scholars to Beijing, but stayed at home very rationally.

"Brother, the newspaper is here." Qi Bansun returned home and shouted before he even entered the door.

In Shanyin, newspapers that can be bought include Daming Daily, Donglin Daily, Fushe Daily, Huguang Daily and Guangdong Daily, and even Shanyin Daily and Ta Kung Pao. The newspaper that Qi Bansun is holding now is the famous Ta Kung Pao.

The Ta Kung Pao published in Hangzhou is very popular with readers because of the martial arts serialized on it. Although the boss of Ta Kung Pao is a traditional land gentry, Ta Kung Pao is still a relatively fair newspaper, and it is a newspaper that stands on the side of the Duke of Chu and promotes reform of land ownership.

In fact, Cha Jizuo followed King Lu to Beijing last time and was scared by the Jinyiwei for a while, he poured out everything he knew. He had a bad reputation in front of traditional land gentry. In desperation, Cha Jizuo had no choice but to surrender to the gentry of industrial and commercial, and stood firmly on the side of Duke of Chu so that he could survive, otherwise he would not even have a helper.

After recognizing the situation, Cha Jizuo sold all the land in his family without hesitation, spending a lot of money to establish the first private newspaper of the Ming Dynasty in Hangzhou.

Other newspapers in the Ming Dynasty, such as the Daming Daily, were founded by the Royal Family and Duke of Chu, the Donglin Daily was founded by the Donglin Party members headed by Qian Qianyi, the Fushe Daily was founded by Fushe, the Huguang Daily was founded by the Chu Party, and the Guangdong Daily was founded by Li Guodong and Guangdong Gentlemen. Only the Dakongbao is a newspaper founded by solely privately.

Since they are not as good as those public and collective newspapers in terms of funding and popularity, Cha Jizuo can only rely on serializing martial arts in newspapers to increase the popularity of his newspapers.

Facts have proved that Cha Jizuo's method was very successful. The Ta Kung Pao has now become the second largest newspaper with circulation after the Daming Daily.

Of course, Ta Kung Pao did not rely entirely on serial martial arts to attract attention. It also analyzed from the economic and financial aspects and published many economic situations about the development of Shanghai Port, the development of maritime trade, etc. At the same time, Ta Kung Pao also has entertainment gossip news. The newspaper hired many paparazzi who specialized in spying on popular singers ** and rich sons **, and specifically secretly investigated the top names of Qinhuai River, the top names of Suzhou and Shanghai, popular actors, and some well-known rich sons, and then published their scandals in the newspaper. As a result, these scandals were very popular.

Qi Lisun took over the "Ta Kung Pao", and the first thing he saw was naturally the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" serialized on the last page. He carefully read today's content and saw that Ouyang Ke also went to Peach Blossom Island to propose marriage, while Huang Yaoshi wanted to hold three competitions against Guo Jing and Ouyang Ke to decide the outcome. Qi Lisun was extremely nervous, but after writing this, he wanted to know what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown. He sighed, and then turned to the first page to see the economic content he cared about.

"What? The land price in Shanghai has increased to 500 taels of silver per acre? Now some people are starting to stock up on a large scale, and they are hoarding land on the other side of the Wusong River? The land price on the other side of the Wusong River has also increased to 100 taels of silver per acre? Who will buy such a remote place?" Qi Lisun looked at the newspaper and shook his head, "Are these people crazy?"

Qi Bansun smiled and said, "Brother, some people bought hundreds of acres of land at the price of ten taels of silver in Shanghai. Now they have made a lot of money! In just a few years, they have only won hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"

"This is faster than making money from tens of millions of fertile land!" Qi Lisun gasped, "But these lands are so expensive, can the person who took over the final profit make money?"
