After all, half of these six thousand white-pill soldiers have fought hard in Liaodong and Donglu, and they are all veterans who are fearless. And because the emperor is not poor now, he intends to support them and the Southern Army to check and balance the Liaodong military town. In addition, the Ming Dynasty's ordnance production capacity has increased, so they are equipped with better firearms.

In this way, the white-rod soldiers who already have high combat qualities and their equipment will be even more powerful.

Therefore, although Zhou Ding, the general of She Chongming, had more than 30,000 troops and was equipped with many bird guns, he still lacked combat power in front of the current white-sling soldiers, so he was naturally defeated by the white-sling soldiers.

After She Chongming knew that Zhou Ding's troops were defeated, he simply gave up the siege of Chengdu.

Then, as Yuan Keli expected, She Chongming had to lead his troops to turn around and attack Chongqing again.

She Chongming had no choice. Now he has rebelled and it is impossible to stop. Yuan Keli has concentrated his food in two big cities, Chengdu and Chongqing. If he failed to conquer Chengdu, he had to attack Chongqing.

The vanguard sent by She Chongming was still Zhou Ding, because most of Zhou Ding's troops were mainly Han people under She Chongming's command, and they were most suitable for cannon fodder.

After the rebels of She Chongming turned around and came to Chongqing, the first level they attacked was Fotu Pass.

At this time, the right governor of Sichuan was Zhu Xieyuan, who was guarding Fotu Pass.

Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Yiming Mao led three thousand white-rod troops to garrison here.

However, Zhu Xieyuan only asked Qin Yiming to guard the city of Fotu Guanguan with three thousand white-rod soldiers, while he himself brought only two hundred soldiers. Outside the city of Fotu Guanguan, and a desk table was placed in the middle of the only mountain road leading to the city. He himself sat behind the desk, and many booklets and four treasures of the study were piled up on the desk, two large jars of cooked porridge were placed on both sides of the desk, and hoes and grain were piled up behind the desk.

Zhu Xieyuan was very bold. Even though he had clearly seen a rebel officer climbing up at the foot of the mountain, he was not panicked, but just touched his beard calmly.

Not long after, the rebels of She Chongming rushed up.

The first person to come up was naturally the Han refugees who were cannon fodder.

These people were already so hungry that they were dizzy. Although they were holding weapons, they looked no different from refugees.

So, as soon as these rebels rushed up, they saw two large jars of porridge, their eyes shone brightly, dragged their tired bodies, rushed over, and then held the already cold porridge and drank it vigorously.

Zhu Xieyuan looked at this and smiled and shouted, "Don't panic! I am the right governor of Sichuan, Zhu Xieyuan, who is waiting for you here today. I know that you are all being carried into the rebels, so I have asked the superiors to give permission. As long as you are willing to surrender to the court, the court will forgive you for your guilt, and will distribute land, give you grain and food, and have a hoe. If you want to surrender to the court and become a good farmer again, come and register!"

At the beginning, these rebels were only concerned about drinking porridge, and their faces were covered with rice grains, ignoring Zhu Xieyuan.

But after Zhu Xieyuan recited it a few times, the refugee who understood it quickly turned around excitedly, and then knelt in front of Zhu Xieyuan: "Master, is it true?"

Zhu Xieyuan said: "This official is an official appointed by the court. How can you tell lies?"

"Caomin is willing!Caomin is willing to surrender to the court! As long as the master really gives Caomin a field and gives Caomin a bite, Caomin will never be a slave to the barbarians even if he dies!"

The rebel said excitedly.

"Then register quickly."

Zhu Xieyuan said with a smile.

"Why!"

The rebels quickly got up and walked over.

"Where are people?"

"Name?"

"Family from Yibin, Xuzhou Prefecture."

"Su Aniu!"

Soon, Su Aniu received his own food and grain, and stood at the designated location with a new hoe, waiting to divide the fields.

Because Chongqing City is a peninsula in the Yangtze River and Jialing River Basins, surrounded by water on three sides.

Therefore, only one important road from the line between Fotu Pass and Erlang Pass can lead to Chongqing.

Fotu Pass is on the backbone of the mountains and among the cliffs, so the rebels cannot appear in front of Fotu Pass in large numbers.

Therefore, only one group of rebels came up at a time and they robbed porridge first because of hunger.

Then, because these were all Han refugees, just like Su Aniu, under the custody of Zhu Xieyuan, he surrendered to the court and became a new householder who regained arable land.

Therefore, a large number of She Chongming rebels surrendered to the court.

Zhou Ding, the general of She Chongming, didn't know the situation on the mountain at this time, but after a long time, when he saw that the officers and soldiers under his command rushed forward and did not come back, he began to be confused and thought to himself: "Can they have captured the Fotu Pass?"

Zhou Ding had to climb up first because of this. As soon as he came up, he saw a farmer standing outside the Fotu Pass with hoes and grain bags.

The officers and soldiers under his command were taking the initiative to disarm one after another, then registering in front of a court official, then kneeling down and kowtowing, and then leaving with a bag of food and a hoe.

Zhou Ding was stunned. He didn't expect that this would be the scene.

"What are you doing!"

Zhou Ding shouted loudly.

Zhu Xieyuan also noticed Zhou Ding at this time and hurriedly shouted: "Take this rebel general!"

So, the soldiers around Zhu Xieyuan immediately came over with a spear and captured Zhou Ding and several of his personal soldiers alive. The other rebels were busy registering for the distribution of the land and did not care about the capture of their commander alive.

Zhu Xieyuan relied on this to successfully recruit more than half of the rebels.

As a result, the strength of the rebels of She Chongming's troops was greatly reduced.

When the She Chongming tribe found something wrong, less than half of his troops were left, because many barbarians also took the initiative to surrender to the court.

After all, no one wants to go hungry, and they all want to have their own land.

Of course, Zhu Xieyuan's ability to do this was related to Zhu Youxiao's strict urge to pay in Jiangnan, which gave the court enough food and could transfer one million stones to Sichuan in advance, which also allowed Yuan Keli to give Zhu Xieyuan 100,000 stones of grain to recruit.

Although the gentry in Jiangnan was very dissatisfied with this, the imperial court's use of troops in other places was indeed much smoother and easier.

"Damn, you gentry in Jiangnan have caused trouble and encouraged me to raise an army. As a result, my army is so hungry that I eat grass roots and eat tree bark, but the official army has surplus grain to recruit refugees. How do you ask me to fight this war!"

After She Chongming learned about the situation of Fotu Pass, he kicked Zhu Qinggui again and shouted: "I also have to accept the pleading, and I also want to expose your master, Zhu Tongmeng, the left governor of Sichuan, secretly instigated me to rebel."

Zhu Qinggui was kicked pitifully and began to vomit blood, but because She Chongming threatened to accept the pleading and expose his master, he had to endure the pain, kneel down to She Chongming, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! No one could have expected this. Who would have thought that Yuan Keli was so cunning, strengthened his walls and cleared the fields in advance, and hoarded the grain in Chongqing and Chengdu!"

She Chongming had no intention of saying anything now, and only ordered his son She Yinjiu: "You personally take my chieftain soldiers to attack Fotu Pass! This Fotu Pass must be captured, otherwise even if you are not killed by the official army, you will starve to death! Damn, what's the rebellion?"

"Yes, father!"

She Yinjiu hurriedly rushed to Fotu Pass with his chieftain soldiers.

...

And at this time.

A large number of official troops also rushed to Fotu Pass.

"Hurry up! The ministry said that the emperor allocated 500,000 taels of gold, flowers and silver to reward the entire army. If you want to share the money, you should hurry up! Don't be afraid of death, you can get a hundred taels of pension if you die!"

At this time, the military officers who rushed towards Fotu Pass shouted loudly.

The government army was very enthusiastic. As soon as they finished drinking water or ate a bite of rice at the inn along the way, they immediately ran towards Fotuguan.

After all, if you want to be strong in wars these days, you have to spend money. What kind of ideology is useless to these low-educational officers and soldiers.

Now Zhu Youxiao is not short of money, so when he smashed the 500,000 taels of gold and silver he had just urged from Jiangnan, these Sichuan officials were very dedicated to the suppression of She Chongming's rebels.
