Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 114 In the Trick (3)

Li Chengdong failed to lobby Wang Zhi, but instead took the lives of two guerrilla generals. Huang Degong also had a violent temper and got angry on the spot. He planned to concentrate his forces to attack Fengyang. Wang Zhi, to tell you the truth, Lord Hou, this general is just like his name, he is upright, courageous and resourceful, he is a rare general, don't look at him scolding the criminal general in the city today, the criminal general doesn't hate him at all , if you can make this general surrender, it will be a blessing to the imperial court."

Huang Degong became less wary of Li Chengdong, and his favorability increased a lot, so he didn't feel disgusted when he heard what he said. Let alone the commander-in-chief of a mere city? It is inevitable to meet with soldiers in the intervening time. If so, the emperor will not bother himself with such trivial matters. Before the emperor arrives, I will definitely take advantage of Fengyang and behead Wang Zhi. Let His Majesty enter the city to worship the ancestors."

"Your Majesty, you can't. Fengyang is the land of dragon prosperity and the capital of the imperial mausoleum. We have committed a heinous crime by using troops here. If we continue to fight like this, we will disturb the spirit of the ancestors of the empire. It is a great crime. Wang Zhi is alone in the city. Shou, don't look at his strong mouth and teeth. In fact, he has nowhere to go. The sinner dares to use his head as a guarantee. He will definitely surrender and submit, maybe Lord Hou will attack Fengyang with a cannon, and he will be scared to open the city."

"Well, I hope that's the case. I will scare him." Huang Degong thought that what Li Chengdong said was reasonable. He was able to defeat others without fighting. It's also a loss of [-].

Therefore, Huang Degong immediately ordered people to deploy cannons. Fengyang himself brought dozens of cannons when he raised 36 troops this time. Now Li Chengdong's [-] heavy cannons also belong to Huang Degong. Together, there are more than [-] cannons.

Huang Degong gave an order, and soon more than [-] cannons were pushed to a conspicuous place outside the city. Ten soldiers were in charge of one cannon.

At this time, Huang Degong ordered people to shout to the top of the city, which was nothing more than asking the soldiers in the city to open the city and surrender immediately, otherwise they would attack the city with artillery. This is actually a psychological warfare.

This move was really effective, and within a few words, there was movement in the city. Wang Zhi appeared again at the top of the city, expressing his willingness to surrender the city immediately and submit to the imperial court. , so as to reduce his guilt and let him perform his crimes and meritorious deeds, Huang Degong and Li Chengdong naturally agreed.

Wang Zhi immediately ordered someone to raise a white flag at the top of the city, and then the city gate was opened wide. Wang Zhi took off his helmet, carried the white flag, abandoned his swords and guns, and went out of the city unarmed. Kneel to welcome.

Huang Degong was overjoyed when he saw it. The problem of Fengyang was solved without bloodshed. The emperor can directly drive into the city. Uncle Xingping is over. There is no warlord chaos in Xu Si's land. The emperor may be so happy when he comes, so he immediately ordered to enter the city.

The commander-in-chief Chen Xiance and Qiu Yue were more careful, fearing that Wang Zhi would cheat, they suggested that they should lead the troops into the city to find out the truth, and then Hou Ye would enter the city again, and Huang Degong agreed.

The two chief military officers took thousands of troops around the city and saw that there was nothing suspicious, so they were relieved. After getting the report, Huang Degong had no wariness against Li Chengdong, and completely regarded him as his own. is a will.

Soldiers of Fengyang, Li Chengdong's troops, and Huang Degong's troops, the three armies together still have more than 5 horses at this time, but most of them are "captives" under Huang Degong's custody. The troops cleaned the battlefield outside the city, buried the corpses, and repaired the city defenses. More than 1 people led by Huang Degong escorted more than 1 prisoners of Li Chengdong and marched into Fengyang City.

After more than an hour, Zhu Yousong's holy driver finally arrived at the foot of Fengyang City in the face of thousands of rays of light.The battlefield outside Fengyang City has been cleaned up long ago. If you don’t look closely, you won’t be able to see it. A few hours ago, tens of thousands of people used to attack and defend here.

Now the entire Fengyang City is a peaceful scene, with clean water splashing on the streets, loess pads on the road, colorful flags flying above the city head, the south gate of the city is wide open, and the line to welcome the holy driver is lined up for several miles. Except for Yasukuni In addition to Gonghuang's meritorious service, there are also his chief military officers Qiu Yue, Huang Ming, Zhang Jie, Chen Xiance and so on.There are also some Fengyang civil servants wearing black gauze and various costumes of birds and beasts.

Regardless of the fact that the war had only ended two hours ago, some courageous ordinary people spontaneously rushed to the streets, burned incense to arrange crimes, and knelt down to welcome the emperor.The timid ones also hid in the cracks in the door of their own courtyard, and some quietly grabbed the top of the wall, or climbed up the tree, and secretly peeked into the street. Go out from here, expel the Yuan captives, rule the world, and achieve 300 years of imperial career. The people of Zhongdu have the deepest affection for the Ming Dynasty. Now that the emperor is coming, who doesn't want to see Longyan and show respect?
Zhu Yousong had already dismounted, and handed over the silk reins to a personal guard of the imperial camp. As early as half an hour ago, Zhu Yousong had already been reported, and Li Chengdong's 2-strong horse had arrived in Fengyang three days ago Yesterday, there was a fierce battle between the two sides, with mutual casualties. Later, when Li Chengdong and the Fengyang guard heard that Gao Jie and his wife were captured by the emperor, they sent them to Fengyang in person.

"This is the current emperor?" Many people were surprised when they saw the emperor's true face for the first time.

"He really looks like a son of heaven. He is as mighty as a general, and as handsome as a scholar. He looks so energetic!"

"There is no eunuch to accompany, no court ladies to accompany, the dragon crown and robe, the court and the dragon chariot are all different from what I imagined. They really have the spirit and prestige of the ancestors!"...

The soldiers who were lucky enough to witness the real dragon's demeanor, as well as the farmers, businessmen and gentry secretly pointed fingers and whispered.

At this time, Huang Degong took several generals, deputy generals, generals, and partial generals to meet him. The battle in Fengyang was over, and the generals of Gao Jie's town were over, but Huang Degong and others found that Zhu Yousong's face was not How happy, looked solemnly at the welcoming crowd on both sides, and just waved slightly to greet them.

No matter how far away, Huang Degong and others knelt on the ground, and when Zhu Yousong approached, they kowtowed with Huang Degong as the leader and shouted: "See Your Majesty."

Zhu Yousong nodded slightly, and then let them flatten their bodies. Zhu Yousong asked about the battle situation in Fengyang on the spot, but Huang Degong didn't dare to hide it. Describe the casualties of the soldiers.

After hearing this, Zhu Yousong smiled slyly, "It's good to surrender, you have contributed a lot. I dare not call you a benevolent king, but I will never punish you indiscriminately, but I would like to see them first."
