Father can be an enemy to the country

Silunfa finally understood what it means for others to recognize you as a king and you are the king. With all the rebels and relatives separated, he was replaced by Dao Gan Meng, which caused almost no ripples, and many courtiers even clapped their hands and applauded.

This huge failure has dealt an extremely heavy blow to everyone in Luchuan Kingdom. They also urgently need someone to take the blame and divert all the anger and depression in their hearts so that they can feel better.

Silunfa is the culprit. If everyone doesn't blame him, who should they blame?

Moreover, Dao Qianmeng promised to surrender immediately and unconditionally to the Ming Dynasty and strive to let everyone go home as soon as possible. Therefore, everyone also supports him in standing up to clean up the mess at this critical moment.

So Dao Qianmeng immediately reported the latest situation to the Ming army, and put all the blame on Silunfa, saying that the tyrant was overestimating his capabilities, insisted on his own way, and coerced the entire country's soldiers and civilians to offend the dynasty. All the soldiers and civilians complained, and finally overthrew the tyrant's rule together and elected themselves to take over the throne.

At the same time, he formally surrendered to Ming Dynasty unconditionally and expressed his acceptance of any arrangement, focusing on a good attitude.

The Ming army accepted Dao Qianmeng's request to surrender and set the place of surrender in Yongchang - the place where Silunfa sent troops to sneak attack and captured Wang Zhen, a thousand households of the Ming army, and razed the city.

The feud between the two sides was forged at that time.

Setting the place of surrender here seems to be the intention of a certain narrow-minded prince.

~~

Of course, how can such a glorious moment be done without an audience? Zhu Zhen then instructed Pan Yuanming to invite all the chieftains from inside and outside Yunnan to come and watch the ceremony.

This time, more people came than when we had Laba porridge that time. Not only the local officials from various prefectures in Yunnan, but all of them came obediently. Even from Yunnan, local officials or representatives from more than 20 prefectures came.

These places are all areas under the actual control of the Luchuan Kingdom. The Ming Dynasty had never had a hand in it before. However, Lao Liu added them all to Yunnan in accordance with the principle of "the territory occupied by the previous dynasty is my territory".

For example, Yunyuan Province, in another time and space, is the Kachin State of Myanmar; Mengyie Province is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand; Mu'an Province is located in Nan Province, Thailand; Menglai Province is the famous Kokang; Meng Ai Province is Shan State; The state is located in Lashio, Myanmar; Mengqing is located in Chiang Rai, Thailand...basically including most of Myanmar and northern Thailand in later generations. It is also the most important sphere of influence of Luchuan Kingdom.

Even peninsular regimes such as Laos, Babai Daughter-in-law, Angkor, and Annan Champa, which were not originally within the scope of Laosu's "map", were determined by the Ming army in one battle after learning that the arrogant Luchuan Kingdom was Later, envoys were also sent to Yongchang to express their congratulations. The first three of them also brought the king's seal and domestic soil, directly dedicated the soil to the Ming Dynasty, and requested to be included.

Such a grand scene made every official of the Ming Dynasty feel proud. What is the world, but the king's land? The great dynasty, all directions are convinced? It's right in front of you.

The only regret is that the prince who created all this behind the scenes cannot return to Yunnan for the time being and cannot attend this grand ceremony in person.

~~

On the day of the surrender ceremony, a minister built a surrender altar in front of the ruins of Yongchang City. There is a big flag on the tree behind the altar, with the words "I accept the imperial edict and surrender" written in four large red letters.

Under the banner, tens of thousands of Ming soldiers participating in the war, with bright uniforms and neat military appearance, lined up behind the surrender altar.

The most conspicuous among them are the defenders of Dingbian City. They were all brand new from head to toe, wearing brand new scarlet battle robes, cowhide boots, and brand new Shan Wen armor - this meant that they had collectively been promoted to the rank of Hundred Households.

After a period of recuperation, although they were still very thin, they had regained their energy and energy. They stood upright in the front row of the team, watching with indifferent expressions Dao Gan Meng, Dao Siyang and others who were walking from a distance. people.

The Xi La soldiers behind Dao Gan Meng were also pushing two prison carts, carrying Sirunfa, Si Xingfa and his son.

Amidst the sound of gunfire, Mu Ying, dressed in military uniform, came to the altar surrounded by Hu Quan, Guo Ying and other generals participating in the war. He would represent the imperial court and accept the surrender of the Luchuan regime.

Then, the salute officer ordered Dao Qianmeng and others to kneel and prostrate to the north beside the surrender flag. They first kowtowed towards Nanjing to apologize, and then Dao Qianmeng personally presented the surrender form.

Dao Ganmeng saw that the Ming soldier who accepted his surrender looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly remembered that this person was Wang Zhen, the guard of Yongchang City who was captured by him before. He blurted out: "Are you Wang Qianhu?"

"It's me." Wang Qianhu nodded, with a wry smile on his face, but he said more relieved: "But I am not Qianhu now. I am just a soldier serving a sentence for a crime. I came to pick up the surrendered brother on the order of the prince. .”

"Ah?" Dao Ganmeng was surprised. Unexpectedly, in order to vent his anger, the prince even pulled Wang Zhen, who was serving hard labor in the army, and asked him to accept the surrender of the Luchuan regime as a representative of the Ming army.

He is really a petty prince who is determined to retaliate. This is obviously not a good thing for him and Luchuan.

But the matter has come to this, I am a slave and I am a fish, so I can only resign myself to fate.

~~

After General Zhengnan read out the edict of surrender, the band next to the surrender altar once again encouraged Yin Ran.

In the midst of the music, the sergeant brought a basin of yellow mud and asked Meng Qian and others to perform the mud-head ceremony.

He would smear his face with mud and then bow his head to the ground to show his humiliation and apology. Just like the ‘face-binding jade’, it is a kind of descending gift.

But the latter is generally used for the monarch, while the former is not limited to the identity of the surrenderer. Chen Youliang's second son, Chen Li, surrendered with this clay head ceremony.

The music stopped suddenly, and everyone looked at Dao Ganmeng intently. No one wanted to miss this good show.

Dao Ganmeng looked at the yellow mud in the basin hesitantly. The last time he played with mud was fifty years ago. It doesn't matter if you smear this thing on your face casually when no one is around, but under the spotlight, you have smeared yellow mud on your face, and your face will be broken to pieces. You will never be able to pick it up again in this life.

"Can you..." Dao Ganmeng begged softly: "No Tu?"

"Okay." Ning Zheng, who was responsible for supervising the ceremony, said coldly: "Then take off your clothes, tie your hands behind your back, hold the seal in your mouth, and present it to General Zhengnan."

"Then I'd better do it..." When Dao Ganmeng heard this, he thought to himself: Are all Han people playing this perverted? Suddenly I felt that the mud head ceremony was quite humane.

In order to have someone to share his shame with, he even got him to live together. Dao Siyang secretly cursed this cheating person for not thinking about him. He never forgets about himself when he is embarrassed like this, but he has no choice but to do it.

Seeing the two men slapping mud on their faces, the Ming army soldiers burst into wanton laughter.

Dao Ganmeng's face was red, but fortunately it was covered with mud, so others couldn't see his expression. He couldn't help but secretly sigh: 'If I had known this, it would be better to have a coup later and let Silun suffer this fate. ’

"Hahahaha..." Silunfa, who was in the prison car at the back, was also laughing at him: "What on earth did you say you robbed? Just grab a face full of mud? Hahaha..."

"Shut up! You don't have the qualifications to make a fool of your face!" Dao Gan Meng angrily slapped a handful of mud on his face, and his eyes were blinded in anger.
