Qiming 1158

1125 Surrender
Zhou Zhi suddenly attacked Jiangnan with troops and won the battle, and he was very happy.

After the Ming army captured Zhenjiang, in fact, there were many Song soldiers near Zhenjiang who did not know the news. They all received orders from Wang Fang to "help" the people with the "hard" task of "hardening the walls and clearing the fields".

Of course, for such a arduous task, it is normal for some small frictions, small collisions, and small disputes to occur in the process, right?

It's normal to have some casualties, right?

So when the Ming army scattered the troops in ranked units and let them deal with the scattered Song troops, they saw scenes that made them angry.

You can see Song Jun robbing people's property, wives and daughters, and food everywhere. You can also see Song Jun wielding knives and hacking to kill people. You can even see some beasts humiliating women directly on the side of the road. .

The soldiers of the Ming army could not bear it, and immediately drew their swords to kill the Song army, rescued the people, and escorted them to the inside and outside of Zhenjiang for resettlement.

Dantu, Xinfeng, Danyang, Yanling, Lucheng, Jintan and other places in Zhenjiang Prefecture all found traces of the Song army doing something wrong, and they were also killed by the Ming army who arrived without any accident. Some were annihilated, and a few were captured by the Ming army and brought back with them.

It should be considered that the Ming army was dispatched early. These Song army soldiers did not have time to cause more serious damage to the local area. The degree of damage to the local area was limited and generally within the controllable range.

Zhenjiang Mansion was dealing with it, and Zhou Zhi divided his troops to attack Jiankang Mansion. In addition, he also dispatched a team to immediately rush to Dusong Pass. If Dusong Pass has already been occupied, they will be stationed there. If not, then try to capture it. Lonely Pass.

On the Jiankang mansion, since Li Xianzhong led the main force to leave, the first batch of 2 new troops recruited by Lin'an has been replaced. Zhong was known for his bravery, so he was favored by Chen Kangbo at the time and promoted to the governor of the capital.

However, although this person has the reputation of bravery, he is quite moderate in his dealings with the world.

Sharpening one's own ability is for self-protection, not for progress. Everything is based on self-protection as the highest premise, and this principle will never be shaken for other things.

Therefore, when he heard that the Ming army had won a decisive victory in the Jinghu theater, he was very panic, worried that the Ming army would attack Jiankang mansion downstream.

No one knows better than him the level of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Jiankang Mansion. The elite soldiers from Sichuan and Sichuan in Xiangfan Second City are no match. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals on his side are expected to run faster than him when the battle begins.

Under such circumstances, Mao Teng was already apprehensive and very uneasy, and when he heard that the Ming army suddenly moved south to capture Zhenjiang Mansion, and that a Ming army was attacking Jiankang Mansion, he was shocked.

Jiankang House also received an order to retreat south to Lin'an for defense. It was being prepared at that time, but they did not expect that the Huainan Ming Army actually went south to cross the river.

What's worse, when the prefect of Jiankang House and his legal partner heard that the army was coming, they immediately packed up their things and ran away, regardless of the situation in Jiankang House.

Before leaving, he left a sentence saying that he was a civil official and did not know how to fight. Fighting was a matter of the warriors. The job of a civil official was to govern the places where the warriors fought. Now that the war was about to take place, he would leave here and let the stage go. Give Mao Teng a good performance.

Be sure to defend the Jiankang House to protect the army and the place, I believe in you, I have confidence in you, you will definitely be able to create miracles!
A new storm has arisen, how can I stand still?
Then he ran away.

Even the big and small officials who brought the entire Jiankang House ran with them, regardless of the task of clearing the walls and clearing the fields, and went south quickly.

What a joke, the chief officials have all run away, what are they doing if they don't run away?Do you want to be a loyal minister to the Song Dynasty?
With such a meager monthly salary every month, I can’t make a lot of money, and I can’t work hard. How can I make money if I work hard?
The bureaucracy's abacus is shaking.

Jiankang Mansion has always been home and operated by many rich and powerful families. They have long heard of the Ming Dynasty's revolutionary policy and liquidation policy, and felt deeply that they could not survive. They originally planned to retreat with the officials and the army. Regardless of whether the property that was not packed up became weak, they all fled with the prefect.

In the end, deserters also appeared in the army. Obviously, they did not have any confidence in this battle, and they did not have any confidence in their superiors. After that, even the junior officers deserted and fled.

The military order to retreat to the south has not been issued yet, and this situation has already begun to appear in the army, which is enough to prove that the army cannot fight.

Mao Teng understood this.

After thinking for a few times, he believed that the wave of the Ming kingdom that let the Huainan Ming army cross the Jiangnan to the south of the Yangtze River was to destroy the Song Dynasty. It was definitely the main force of the Ming army. Security is a problem.

The Song army's strategy of going south to defend Lin'an was not successful, but it was raided by the Ming army and failed. Back on the road of the past.

The Ming Dynasty let loose the Song Dynasty last time, what about this time?

Mao Teng felt very suspended.

Run away, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will not be able to escape from the palm of the Ming Kingdom. The Song Dynasty is gone, and the world belongs to the Ming Kingdom. Where else can he go?

He heard that during the first Ming-Song War, his predecessor had left the army and fled, but after the war was over, he was beheaded by the whole family, and the end was miserable.

He didn't dare to fight, he didn't dare to run away, and he wouldn't end well. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that the imperial court had treated him too badly.

otherwise……

I just surrender right?

Although the Ming Dynasty said that it was going to clean up some high-class people, and to carry out liquidation, but I have always been an officer in the forbidden army, and I have never done anything harmful except bullying small soldiers, swallowing military salaries, and buying land.

I really can't. I will hand over a part of my land to the Ming Kingdom as a petition. I heard that the Ming Kingdom also has a land redemption policy. Since I can't resist, I will be an obedient citizen, and maybe I will be able to get a small officer Dangdang. Times are good too, right?
At least there is no need to fight bloody battlefields and then die in battles.

The main court did not treat Mao Teng very well. He was still a mid-level officer at the age of forty. If it weren't for the sudden change in the situation, he wouldn't be able to be in charge of this capital.

Although he has now become the ruler of the capital, Chen Kangbo, who promoted him to the top and was kind to him before, was killed. Now he is not familiar with the man named Yu Yunwen, and he is very worried that he will kill the chicken and show the monkeys after escaping or defeating. Be the unlucky one.

After thinking about it, Mao Teng felt that there was really no way to go, and the only best way for him was to surrender.

Moreover, as long as he restrains the army, stabilizes the place, and hands over the Jiankang Mansion to the Ming army in its entirety, it may be a credit.
