Chapter 31
The rebel army in the north has now occupied half of the country. The leader of the rebel army Jianguo proclaimed himself emperor, the country name is Daxing, and the year name is Shun'an.

Emperor Shun'an was more diligent in his administration and kept writing every day.This morning, Emperor Shunping asked: "My dear friends, the remnants of Nanping are still raging in the south, who has a good plan?"

The prime minister Wen Jianren said: "Your Majesty, I think that the important officials of the Nanping court can be persuaded to surrender. The courtiers of Daping have always been short-sighted. As long as the emperor lures them, they will definitely help me."

The emperor praised: "The prime minister is right."

Wen Jianren said again: "There are three forces in Nanping, namely Emperor Jianping, the false emperor, King Lu of Daping, and the princess of Emperor Ai. The emperor can send troops to attack separately, weak first and then strong, and finally concentrate on getting rid of the strongest force. .”

Chen Guogong was a general who followed Emperor Shun'an to conquer the world. He made many military exploits.Chen Guogong was born as a farmer. He always thought that Emperor Tianping was stupid and made him unable to survive. Later, he entered the capital and found that compared with those Nanning parties, Emperor Tianping was completely innocent.

Chen Guogong was extremely disgusted with the Nanning Party. He had done nothing for the country. He only knew how to plunder the people's wealth and support, and he also promoted his own virtues everywhere. He simply wanted to stand up even if he was cheated.

Therefore, Chen Guogong said: "Your Majesty, I recommend Mr. Chen Min to persuade the important officials in Nanping to surrender. Mr. Chen is the leader of the Nanning Party and a high-ranking official in Daping. His persuasion will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

When Chen Min heard this, he almost peed with fright, but he kept his face as a leader of the Nanning Party.

However, Chen Min was also afraid that Emperor Shun'an would really ask him to persuade him to surrender. No matter Emperor Jianping, King Lu or Princess Anning would let him go, would he still be able to come back alive if he went?
Why did you surrender to Emperor Shun'an?Isn't it just to save your life!Now let yourself go to die, how can this be done?

However, acting, especially acting in a righteous drama, and then promoting one's own reputation and throwing blame, this set of operations is already the basic operation of the Nanning Party.

Chen Mindao: "It is the honor of Wei Chen to share the emperor's worries, but Wei Chen is a thorn in the side of Nanping's remnants. Wei Chen is afraid that not only will he not be able to accomplish the emperor's purpose, but he will also scare the snake, making the remnants of Nanping already prepared and wasting the emperor's money. It’s a lot of hard work from the Prime Minister.”

Chen Guogong said angrily: "You are obviously afraid of death, a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you will only seek the people's fat and anointment, and once you are asked to serve the country, you will push back and forth.

Chen Min lay down on the ground, tremblingly said to Emperor Shun'an: "Your Majesty, it's not because the humble minister is unwilling to serve His Majesty, it's really powerless."

In fact, Emperor Shun'an didn't like this group of people. After all, if they can abandon Daping today and go to Daxing, they will definitely surrender to others when Daxing loses in the future. What's more, this group of people have nothing to do except compare themselves to Wei Zheng and like to catch the emperor's mistakes. No, it's just a perfect expression of the phrase "a scholar who has nothing to do with one thing".

Therefore, Emperor Shun'an just watched Chen Guogong embarrass the Nanning party members with cold eyes, and didn't come out to stop him until he felt that it was almost done.It was the same this time. Seeing Chen Guogong venting, Emperor Shun'an opened his mouth.

Emperor Shun'an said: "Okay, what are you arguing about? Nanping hasn't been destroyed yet, but your own people started fighting first. Have you forgotten the lesson of Daping's subjugation?"

Emperor Shun'an was angry, and everyone quieted down.The Nanning party members felt a little embarrassed. Emperor Shun'an seemed to be talking about himself. After all, the collapse of the country was due to serious party struggles, which dragged down the country's strength.

Emperor Shun'an said again: "Chen Aiqing, I feel that it is you who must persuade us to surrender."

Chen Min exclaimed, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Shun'an waved his hand and said: "Listen to me. Chen Aiqing is the leader of the Nanning Party. Many Nanning Party members respect Chen Aiqing. This is an advantage that no one can match. I believe that only Chen Aiqing can overthrow Nanping faster." The foundation of Daxing. Is Chen Aiqing willing to solve this problem of moss for Daxing and contribute to the prosperity of Daxing?"

Chen Min really wants to say that the prosperity of your Daxing has nothing to do with me, and I am not the emperor of Daxing.But in the face of Emperor Shun'an's inquiry, Chen Min still chose Congxin, so as not to lose his life before going to Nanping.

Chen Min respectfully and impassionedly said to Emperor Shun'an: "I am willing to devote myself to the prosperity of Daxing and die. As long as I can do my part for the emperor to destroy Nanping and unify the world, I have nothing to fear ? His body was smashed to pieces, and he only wished to prosper for generations to come."

Emperor Shun'an had to admit that the words of these scholars were indeed pleasant to listen to. Emperor Shun'an, an emperor who came from humble beginnings, felt his blood boil with excitement.

Emperor Shun'an said: "Okay, Aiqing is really loyal and courageous. I will leave the task of destroying Nanping to you. I believe that with Aiqing here, Nanping will be destroyed in one battle."

With the hopes of Emperor Shun'an and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Chen Min walked to Nanping unwillingly.

An Ning quickly found out about the situation, because Chen Min played tricks, so he picked a soft persimmon: King Lu.

King Lu is the weakest of the three forces in Nanping, and he was completely promoted by the ministers who escaped.

The king of Lu was timid, and he was unwilling to proclaim himself emperor even if he died, but this group of ministers had a way. They called the prince, and the positions of the ministers were still the same as those in the court.So, the best of both worlds.

Such a background indicated that the power of the Lu Dynasty court was completely in the hands of courtiers, and many of the courtiers were party members. Chen Min was 7% sure that even if he failed to persuade him to surrender, he would still be able to save his life.

Sure enough, as expected by Chen Min, these ministers have become corrupt to a certain extent, full of sages' words, and doing all unspeakable things in private, even if they praise the King of Lu, it is for their own glory and wealth.

Chen Min's persuasion to surrender was unexpected to these people, but regardless of whether they were party members or not, they never thought of sending Chen Min to King Lu and beheading him in public.

The mentality of these courtiers is this: now that Daxing is going strong, with Chen Min here, if Daxing calls, they still have a way out.

With this mentality, they entertained Chen Min warmly. Although they did not expressly agree to surrender, Chen Min knew that as long as Daxing's soldiers came under pressure, they would completely fall to Daxing.

An Ning was still hesitating whether to take advantage of Daxing's army to annex King Lu before it arrived. He didn't annex him before because he wanted him to draw some of his attention away, but if he didn't take action now, Daxing might defeat him one by one.

An Ning decided to let everyone find a way together.

Wu Feng said: "Princess, I think we should annex King Lu's forces as soon as possible. If we wait for the Daxing army to come, it will be difficult for us to take it down easily."

Gou Xin also said: "I second the proposal. If Daxing gets King Lu's support, it will be like a sharp knife sticking in our side, and we will probably have trouble sleeping at night."

Several other counselors that An Ning later recruited also agreed. Since everyone was unanimous, An Ning agreed with everyone's opinions.To conquer King Lu's territory, one must not only fight, but also fight beautifully.

An Ning summoned the generals of the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Armies and asked them to prepare to attack King Lu's territory.

The generals of the Fourth Army have long wanted to fight a big battle. For several years, only a small group of troops have been dispatched, and there is no chance to make a contribution. Now there is finally a big battle, which everyone has been looking forward to for a long time.

In the past few years, Anning has been sitting on the land of 5 provinces and has been busy developing. It is no longer the time when it was lame. Today, the industry, agriculture, commerce, military, and education in the 5 provinces are very developed, and the tax revenue alone can fill the warehouse every year. , This is the result of Anning's several cuts in agricultural taxes.

Nowadays, Anning can be said to have the ability to fight a decisive battle with Daxing. After all, although Daxing occupies many provinces, the gap between the north and the south means that the development of Daxing will not be better than that of Anning.

What's more, An Ning's vision has long surpassed this era. It is not easy to use answers to solve problems.

An Ning gave the order, and all five provinces were mobilized, and the army quietly moved to Yu County, which borders King Lu's territory.Countless intelligence messages spread from King Lu's territory.

King Lu originally occupied the land of five provinces. King Lu's Kyoto was surrounded by the other three provinces, which happened to separate the forces of Anning and Emperor Jianping. However, Yu Province had been taken over by An Ning before, and even Yu Province under the rule of Yu Province The county has now become a place where An Ning troops are stationed.

An Ning's army can now go straight into Bian Jing, the capital of King Lu. As long as Bian Jing is captured, the other three provinces will be nothing to worry about.

Therefore, the policy formulated by An Ning is to let the army capture Bian Jing with lightning speed, and then send some cavalry to encircle the other three provinces. After Bian Jing is captured, the other provinces will surely surrender.

The people under the rule of King Lu did not like his regime at all, and their hearts were very scattered. Many people ran to places under the rule of An Ning.Therefore, although King Lu's position is not small, the army can only fight with the wind, and if there is a problem, it will be over.

Anning's army quickly entered Bianjing, and it was amazing that they did not encounter much resistance.

This is mainly because the officials of the King of Lu are entertaining Chen Min, and the guards below the city don't even know where their boss is, let alone report it.Once you see the army pressing down on the border, you can't beat it, what else can you do if you don't surrender?
As a result, none of them could run away. After the Eastern Army entered, they arrested all the big bosses who usually yelled and drank. Everything is in sight.

As for Chen Min, he really didn't expect that he was not arrested in King Lu's territory, but King Lu's territory was completely gone. He had tried all his tricks and was still arrested. Now he could only close his eyes and wait for death.

An Ning took over King Lu's territory without much effort, and it was easier to fight than An Ning imagined. From this aspect, An Ning must be grateful to those officials. At the same time, An Ning also felt that with these officials, it was strange that the country would not be destroyed during the Great Ping Dynasty. .

An Ning quickly decided to behead these officials to show the public. Chen Min cried bitterly and said that he had information about Daxing, which could help An Ning counterattack Daxing, and hoped that An Ning would spare his life.

An Ningli didn't care. Even if he wanted to counterattack Daxing, he wouldn't rely on this kind of thing. It would be a waste not to chop off the head of such a person.

More than 100 heads fell to the ground at the same time, and An Ning didn't even blink his eyes. While the blood flowed into rivers, he also warned the officials under An Ning's rule that those who want heads should be safe.
