How long would it take for life to return to normal after a major city battle in Ming Dynasty China?

The question popped up while my wife was doing research on her novel, which is set in a fictional universe that parallels Ming Dynasty China. We tried to do research, but we have yet to come with an actual time frame.

To be clear, by "return to normal" I mean a state where all the bodies have been cleared out and conditions were roughly the same as what they were before the battle: People walking about freely, businesses reopening, vendors and traders selling their wares on the street, so on and so forth.

The research I've done so far has been largely inconclusive. Most of the webpages I'm seeing for the aftermath of Ming Dynasty battles don't really talk about the return to more mundane, day-to-day tasks, they largely talk about diplomatic ramifications and civilian casualties and such.
