A large number of officers and soldiers rushed to the Fotuguan area and formed a formation to surround it.
After She Chongming learned that a large number of officers and soldiers appeared around Fotuguan, he had to withdraw his own officers and soldiers who attacked Fotuguan.
After all, She Chongming only had more than 20,000 soldiers left, and it was impossible to deal with both sides of the army at the same time.
At this time, the rebels had formed three armies: front, middle and rear and were stationed outside Fotu Pass.
She Chongming's younger brother She Chonghui led six thousand rebels as the front army.
She Chongming himself led eight thousand rebels as the central army.
His son She Yinjiu led eight thousand rebels as the rear army.
The officers and soldiers had already been waiting for work. Long before She Chongming arrived at Fotuguan, most of them had gathered in this area. Now they were just surrounding She Chongming.
And for this reason, when She Chongming's rebels had just formed the front, middle and rear armies to prepare for the battle, the government troops had already attacked them first.
Behind Fotu Pass is located on the Chongqing Peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides and cliffs on all sides.
And She Chongming is now on the waist of the peninsula, so he cannot attack the army from the flanks and can only face the army from the front.
After the officers and soldiers rushed over, they first fired artillery bombardments at each other with She Chongming's rebels.
She Chongming's rebels lacked gunpowder, which resulted in low frequency of bombardment. As a result, a large number of She Chongming's rebels were killed by live ammunition fired from official artillery.
In particular, the formation of the front army of She Chongming's rebels was in chaos. Some rebels began to abandon their weapons and run to both sides. They were killed by She Chonghui's soldiers before they regained their will to fight.
Then, firearmsmen from the government and army began to gather in large numbers and began to shoot at the rebels in She Chongming's tribe.
A large number of She Chongming rebels were hit and fell to the ground.
Waves of white smoke rose from the entire battlefield.
At the same time, under the leadership of General Du Wenhuan, Deputy General Li Shiqi and other officers and generals, a large number of spearmen and shield bearers from the army also rushed over.
Countless spears pierced out of the white smoke that had not dissipated, directly piercing the bodies of many rebels, and then pulled them out with force, blood spurted out, and many rebels screamed and fell to the ground.
There were also rebels who boldly charged at the officers, stabbing them with spears or slashing them with swords.
However, the morale of the officers and soldiers was high, while the rebels were a tired army. They were tired and hungry, and gradually began to lose ground. After both sides cut and stabbed each other, most of the people who fell to the ground were rebels.
She Chongming was very desperate about this. Now he had no way forward and no retreat. He could only watch his rebels and the government troops fight.
But for a moment, She Chongming saw that his side was gradually declining, and had no choice but to order a retreat.
A large number of rebels began to break out under the supervision of She Chongming and other personal soldiers.
Therefore, all the rebels took the initiative to kill the official troops.
As a result, the two sides fought fiercely. You stabbed me with swords, you stabbed me with spears, and everything was completely messed up.
Because Yuan Keli knew that if he did not seize this opportunity to annihilate all She Chongming's troops at once, once She Chongming escaped, it would be difficult to attack. After all, the southwest region has complex terrain and is easy to hide. Therefore, Yuan Keli was sure that She Chongming would come. After Fotuguan, heavy troops from all over the country were mobilized to encircle and suppress them, and implemented the tactics of continuous attack from all sides and gradual cleaning up.
As a result, more and more officers and soldiers came to kill these rebels one after another, just like adding oil. The river of blood outside Fotu Pass has never dried up.
"Kill!"
Another group of fresh troops came to attack, and countless spears as sharp as fangs were thrust into the abdomens and chests of these rebels.
At the same time, the sword and shield bearers in formation also rushed over, slashing and killing these rebels, causing countless rebel heads to fly around.
Muskets and bows and arrows also continued to greet the rebel troops who were breaking out in groups.
For a time, a large number of rebels were killed.
She Chongming didn't know how many troops he still had. He was only protected by his own soldiers and servants, and he continued to break out of the encirclement with all his strength.
But not long after, She Chongming was blocked by a sudden appearance of an army.
These soldiers and horses are white-poled soldiers led by Zhang Fengyi, and they are waiting for him in formation.
Therefore, She Chongming had to stop with the remaining soldiers around him.
She Chongming looked back and found that there were corpses everywhere behind him, and the officers and soldiers from Fotuguan were also chasing after him.
For a moment, She Chongming's mood was naturally extremely complicated.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
At this time, the soldiers with white poles had already started to fire arrows, and a large number of bows and arrows came, shooting the remaining soldiers around She Chongming like hedgehogs.
She Chongming himself became a hedgehog and fell to the ground.
She Chongming's son She Yinjiu, his wife An Shi, his younger brother She Chonghui, and a group of bachelors, managers, prime ministers, and governors he conferred were still trying to break out of the encirclement.
But breaking out of the encirclement was useless, because they were surrounded by government troops. In addition to the government troops, there were even temporarily organized refugees. These refugees were also mobilized by Yuan Keri with heavy financial rewards to participate in the killing of the rebels.
In addition, even the local people were organized.
After all, you can get a reward of silver for killing the rebels, so why not do it.
Moreover, the national consciousness is not that strong these days, not to mention, these rebels have not done anything good to ordinary Han Yi.
Therefore, soon, She Chongming's wife An and his brother She Chonghui were killed.
Immediately afterwards, She Chongming's son She Yinjiu was killed by his own people.
A number of She Chongming's bachelors, managers, and governors were also killed one after another.
Zhu Qinggui also failed to escape and was killed by the rebels.
No one survived.
Outside the entire Fotu Pass, there were tens of thousands of corpses lying on pillows.
So far.
She Chongming's rebellion was completely suppressed, which lasted less than two months.
…
"Report! Your Majesty, Yuan Ke has reported that the rebellion of Yongning chieftain She Chongming has been suppressed. She Chongming died at the hands of the officer Zhang Fengyi on December 26, the first year of Tianqi! The rebels were eliminated. Except for those who sought peace, all have been annihilated."
In the second year of Tianqi, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Youxiao received a report that the rebellion of She Chongming tribe had been put down.
This made Zhu Youxiao feel quite happy.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, no matter what, the She Chongming rebellion in this era took less than two months to put down. For the Ming Dynasty, compared with the She Chongming rebellion in history until the first year of Chongzhen The ending of complete annihilation is undoubtedly a better result.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao also knew that the reason why She Chongming's rebellion lasted so long in history was not only related to the court's poor response at the beginning, but also related to the fact that An Bangyan also rebelled in the second year of Tianqi and joined forces with She Chongming.
In this era, She Chongming had been annihilated before An Bangyan raised his army.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao felt that even if Shuixi Chieftain An Bangyan still launched a rebellion as in history, the Ming army would be much easier to deal with to suppress Shuixi Chieftain An Bangyan's rebellion than in history.
At least you can spend a lot less money on food.
In fact, this time, the money and food spent to suppress the rebellion of the She Chongming tribe was far less than in history. The total was only one million stone grain and five hundred thousand gold flowers and silver.
The reasons are, firstly, Zhu Youxiao predicted the rebellion of She Chongming Society in advance and asked Yuan Keli and other Sichuan officials to prepare; secondly, after Zhu Youxiao severely levied a wave of tax arrears on the Jiangnan gentry, the court had He had a lot of money and grain in stock, so he was able to directly give Sichuan one million shi of grain to prepare for war, and then easily took out another 500,000 taels. He also had money to buy equipment for the elite officers and soldiers such as the white pole soldiers. replace.
As for the possible suppression of the Anbangyan rebellion, Zhu Youxiao believes that it will be much smoother than in history.
"Pass the decree! Another five hundred thousand gold and silver coins will be allocated to reward officers and soldiers in the southwest, and the Ministry of War will report the list of meritorious officers and generals and their achievements. Sichuan Governor Xu Keqiu will change the chieftain of Yongning to return to his native land, and there will no longer be a chieftain!"
In Zhu Youxiao's view, if you want to fight well in a war, you must be willing to spend money on officers and soldiers in the early stage. Otherwise, the war will easily go wrong. If the war goes wrong, it will be easy to waste more money and food.
For this reason, after Zhu Youxiao learned the news of this victory, he directly waved his hand and allocated another five hundred thousand taels of silver to stimulate the morale of the southwest officers and soldiers and make them prepare for the possible suppression of the Anbangyan rebellion. Have greater positivity.
This can be regarded as the benefit of the emperor Zhu Youxiao being rich. In terms of rewarding officers and soldiers, he can allocate a sum of money at will.
