The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 754
Beijiang Mansion is located at the southernmost tip of Huaiyang County.

Because it is located at the "corner" of the big river, it is like a wedge embedded in the south, so the imperial court set up a southeast camp here to deter the counties in the south.

At its strongest, the Southeast Camp had a total of [-] regular troops, including [-] imperial troops.

But after the Yong army invaded, the troops here were continuously withdrawn, and now there are only more than 4 guards left.

In fact, the remaining [-] troops were also dispatched to join the battle a few days ago.

But before they entered Gyeonggi County, they learned the news of the fall of the capital, and then, under the leadership of the general Zhu Chengming, they returned to Beijiang Mansion to observe the situation.

An Guogong Zhu Chengming, he has always been the leader of the southeast battalion, and later led the main force of the forbidden army to participate in the defense of the western front.

But when he served as the main general on the western front, he was unable to suppress the generals under his command. In the end, the court appointed Lu Liqing as the main general and replaced him with the southeast camp.

At this time in the government office, Zhu Chengming's face was heavy, and he summoned the commanders of the guards under his command.

"Everyone, the imperial court has sent an envoy, and they are now outside the city gate. Do you think we have seen it or not?"

Zhu Chengming's power was granted by the imperial court, and now that the imperial court is gone, his authority will naturally be weakened.

So even for such a trivial matter, he had to seek the opinions of his subordinates.

Of course, the arrival of the imperial court's envoy is actually not a trivial matter.

"Meet me, let's see what he has to say!"

"I think I should see you!"

Everyone released their opinions one after another, but fortunately there was no dispute about it, so Zhu Chengming ordered someone to invite "imperial envoys" in.

About ten minutes later, a man dressed as a sixth-rank government official walked into the government office with two minor officials.

Although this person is thin and thin, but when he came among this group of warriors, he did not lose his momentum at all.

This made everyone present a little surprised, secretly thinking that this person surnamed Wang has changed his temper?

That's right, everyone present knew Wang Lin, he was the one who represented the imperial court and negotiated various matters with Southeast Daying.

Of course, Wang Lin couldn't change his nature in a short time. The reason why he held his head high today was because behind him was the powerful imperial court.

Immediately someone asked: "Master Wang, did you come here this time to join us?"

Wang Lin's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm here to announce the imperial edict!"

"An edict? The emperor is gone, what edict are you announcing?"

"You're wrong!" Wang Lin looked serious.

"What did I say wrong?"

"The false emperor is dead!"

Everyone thought that the emperor was not dead, but Wang Lin would say this, and they were all amused immediately.

Seeing the wild laughter of the crowd, Wang Lin took a scroll from his entourage, and said, "I am here this time to convey His Highness King Yong's edict!"

As soon as the word "Yong Wang" was heard, the laughter at the scene stopped abruptly.

Everyone's faces were dignified, and their expressions switched back and forth very quickly, which clearly showed Zhao Yanxun's fierce reputation.

Whether you call yourself an emperor or become a king, you are really strong if you are strong. An emperor like Zhao Weilong will only manage a bunch of arrogant soldiers.

Now the generals are still those people, but they can't be arrogant when facing Zhao Yanxun, a fierce man.

"Everyone, this edict...do you accept it or not?"

Everyone was silent, and Zhu Chengming, who was on the main seat, asked, "So what if you don't answer?"

"Your Highness said that he has always been lenient and benevolent, so he puts courtesy first and then soldiers!"

Glancing at the crowd, Wang Lin continued, "If you wait for a lot of good or bad, His Highness will send an army to personally reason with you all!"

Hearing this, a grumpy person immediately scolded: "You dare to threaten us, are you not afraid of falling heads?"

Wang Linyi was not afraid, looked at the man and said: "Killing me is equivalent to declaring war with His Highness, and none of you will live!"

"Maybe, before His Highness sends out the army, your soldiers will deal with you first!"

Wang Lin's words touched everyone's pain point. In the past few days, the whole army was in chaos.

Not to mention that all the people are united in resisting foreign enemies, just restraining the soldiers from messing around now has already made everyone present panic-stricken.

Once it is known that the superiors have provoked the Yong army to attack, it is really possible that the people below will wipe them out first.

Seeing the dignified expressions on everyone's faces, Wang Lin knew that this group of people were strong outsiders but hard inside, so he sneered and said, "Everyone, there is no guarantee that what happened in Donghe Mansion will not happen again!"

What happened in Donghe Mansion refers to the fact that the forbidden army mutinied and killed the general Zhang An, and then surrendered to the Yong army.

Everyone present had heard about this matter, and now that Wang Lin brought it up, they became even more emboldened.

At this moment, Wang Lin didn't speak any more, but waited for the people from Beijiang Mansion to answer.

It has to be said that this feeling of full confidence and control of the initiative made Wang Lin very happy.

Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with King Yong being the emperor. In this troubled world, a strongman is needed to clean up this mess.

"Hmph... let's listen to what the imperial edict says, it's not too late for us to make a fuss!"

Despite their tone and stubbornness, these men were honest.

Seeing that all his subordinates were willing to accept the imperial edict, Zhu Chengming said: "Since the big guys want to hear it, you can read it, Mr. Wang!"

Looking at Zhu Chengming in front of him, Wang Lin said very seriously: "General, since you are willing to accept the imperial edict, you should step down from the main position!"

Zhu Chengming wanted to say something, but seeing that no one else was speaking, he consciously got up from his seat.

Wang Lin took the imperial edict and walked to the upper position, looked down at the crowd and said: "Your Majesty's imperial edict, please kneel and listen!"

Since it was an imperial edict, it should look like an imperial edict. Wang Lin didn't change things in the slightest.

Although everyone was a little reluctant, they still knelt down on the ground obediently.

Seeing these people knelt down, Wang Lin opened the imperial edict and read aloud: "You are all ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and you were deceived by the false emperor before and became thieves!"

"As the old saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty. If you go astray and find your way back, the lonely king can show mercy and forgive your sins!"

Good fellow, a rebellious thief, calls them thieves, and pardons them.

Although he was not angry in his heart, King Yong's strength was there. If he said they were thieves, he would be thieves.

"As I said, you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and immediately lead your troops back to Gyeonggi to accept the imperial court's reorganization!"

After reading the edict, Wang Lin put away the edict, then looked at the people in front of him and said, "Everyone...do you accept the edict?"

There was silence in the lobby, and it was difficult for them to decide whether to lead the army back to Beijing to accept the adaptation.

But there are always people with good thoughts who know that this is a choice between life and death, so the answer is unique.

If you don't obey the order, you must either fight the Yong army, or lead the army to cross the river, both options are inevitable.

After a few breaths, someone kowtowed and said: "The minister is willing to obey the imperial edict!"

The first person made a choice, and everyone at the scene kowtowed, expressing their willingness to obey the imperial edict.

Handing the edict to Zhu Chengming, Wang Lin said with a smile: "Everyone, this is a wise choice, I will tell you... Your Highness's army has already been prepared, and they are planning to find a disobedient guy to destroy him Kill chickens and monkeys!"

Hearing these words, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. It seemed that King Yong really didn't take them seriously, but they did have the strength.

Now that they were willing to surrender, the attitude of the military officers towards Wang Lin changed immediately.

Someone enthusiastically said: "In the future, we will be ministers in the same hall, and Lord Wang will take care of us a lot!"

Wang Lin clasped his fists and said, "I'm a sixth-rank officer, but I can't take care of all the commanders!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely relaxed.

For a group of military officers, today's order has solved the biggest problem at the moment.
