I am the king of the dead

"Your Majesty, who expects the enemy to be lenient, is extremely concerned about the Ming soldiers who entered Annan. The Ming army with high morals and inferiority is actually very difficult to deal with unarmed civilians, so the Ministry of War has made some preparations in advance."

"It's just that I have been attacking before, and it's too late to arrange."

Chen Mao asked curiously, "What method is it?"

Chen Mao is the general who conquers the barbarians, he is in charge of the military, not in military affairs. Yu Qian never criticizes military operations, and Chen Mao does not intervene in military affairs, but he is still curious about how His Majesty and Yu Shaobao will resolve it.

"Complaint meeting." Yu Qian put the thick memorial in Chen Mao's hands, and said quite solemnly: "Your Majesty does not like to sing about suffering, because suffering is suffering, and it is not worth singing."

"What kind of suffering have you endured? Why do you have to endure such suffering? How should you avoid suffering? These are the three issues that the Suffering Association must clarify. As long as these three issues are clarified, there will be no obstacles for the Daming King Hua Annan. "

Chen Mao flipped through the memorabilia, and the more he looked at it, the more startled he became. His Majesty, who expected the enemy to be lenient, also expected the people of Annan to be the enemy, and Yu Qian prepared a sufficient and complete plan on this issue.

And the basis of all this is that the Ming army is really the master of the king, instead of going to Annan to inflict suffering and humiliation again.

Chen Mao was quite fortunate that as a general during the Jingtai period, he only had to think about how to win.

The commanding officer in charge of Yu Qian began to complain about the conquered areas, arrested the lazy and ruffian in the village, wiped out the bandits in and out of the city, actively established the farm law, resumed agricultural production, organized the people to open up wasteland and cultivate land, and organized the village The people make enough food and clothing by themselves, build water conservancy ditches, teach the people to plant in season, and so on.

Antu herdsmen are easy to say, but difficult to do, and Yu Qian also asked the elders of Yue people who belonged to Shangsilang Prefecture to communicate with the elders of Lang Son Prefecture.

During the time of Yuqian'an Tu herdsmen, the Ming army's offensive on Lang Son Province officially started.

During the attack, the Ming army persuaded Lang Son Prefecture to surrender three times, but it was Mo Zhi from Yue who defended the city. As Li Yimin's absolute confidant, Mo Zhi shouted the slogan of killing those who surrendered in Lang Son Prefecture.

After persuading them to surrender to no avail, it only took three days for the Daming army to advance twenty miles, reaching the city of Lang Son, and the artillery began to roar.

Unlike Qiu Wen County, Lang Son City is a masonry city wall, but for the Ming army, it is just time for more artillery bombardment.

One day later, the army of Lang Son Mansion mutinied, and Mo Zhi was killed by the rebels. There was great chaos in the city, and the Ming army broke through Lang Son Mansion.

At this point, the gate of Shenglong City is wide open, and there is no danger to defend.

Chapter 779 Rising Dragon City Surrenders Without a Fight

Lang Son Prefecture has jurisdiction over four counties and seven prefectures, including Danba County, Qiuwen County, Zhenyi County, Yuan County, Qiyuan Prefecture, Shangwen Prefecture, Xiazhou, Wanya Prefecture, Guangyuan Prefecture, Shangsi Lang Prefecture, and Xiasi Prefecture. Langzhou has a vast territory and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was breached in just a few days. The news spread throughout Annan, and the whole country was shocked.

Under the turmoil of the army, Annan's soldiers immediately turned from mutinies to bandits.

The Ming army continued to advance from Lang Son, and less than three hundred miles away was Thang Long City.

After Chen Mao captured Lang Son Mansion, he immediately ordered to consolidate the city defenses in the occupied area and build fortifications to prevent Li Yimin from counterattacking.

Li Yimin took the middle strategy and transferred the most elite troops in his hands to Lang Son Prefecture to fight against Daming, but in less than ten days, the middle strategy of throwing away his armor and forcing Da Ming to retreat and then negotiate was completely bankrupt.

There were frequent bad news. On the second day after the fall of Lang Son Mansion on the northern line, in the northeast direction, the Yunnan Frontier Army of the Ming Dynasty, led by Mu Lin, entered Annan from Mengzi to conquer the pass, and the soldiers followed the Red River to Shenglong City;

In terms of maritime affairs, on the eastern route, Li Yimin set up a city fence at the mouth of the Suli River, which was vulnerable to the artillery of the Daming Navy. Besieged within Dianche Lake.

Daming attacked from three sides, each of which was a success.

At this time, the fourth brother Li Sicheng also sent troops from Qinghua to capture Ninghua Prefecture, which was only one step away from Shenglong City.

At the end of September, the Ming army joined forces at the Baihe River. They attacked together and were invincible. At the beginning of October, the Ming army attacked Duobang City. Li Yimin sent guard elephant soldiers to fight, but they were defeated by artillery and firecrackers. Duobang City was broken, and the Ming Army was only one step away from Shenglong City.

"What should I do? What should I do? Taiwei Liu, save me!" Li Yimin was already anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

Of course Liu Pu did not remain calm, instead he said in a panic: "I have another plan! Your Majesty, send envoys to King Jia at this time, please King Jia Qin! King Jia's army is in Ninghua, and it only takes three days to reach Shenglong City!"

"Move Shenglong City to the four walls for defense, more than [-] people, enough to resist for three days."

Li Yimin was pleasantly surprised, like a man who fell into the water and caught a straw, and said loudly: "Wonderful... Although the strategy is good, can the fourth brother beat Daming? And the fourth brother has come to Shenglong City, will he Will you kill me first?"

Li Yimin's expression changed rapidly, from anxiety to surprise to worry, and finally to hesitation.

"No, no, no." Li Yimin stood up suddenly and said: "Mobilize the Shenglong Army to resist, the Ming Army must think that I have disobedience, and after entering the city, they must kill me!"

"In this way, Taiwei Liu, you take the blade of the Shuntian Sword and go to the Daming Barracks to discuss with Daming about the matter of peace negotiation."

Liu Pu's face changed when he heard the words, and he said rather horrified: "My lord, I am a traitor general of the Ming Dynasty. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty wants to kill me and then hurry up. Wouldn't it be a trap for me to go to the camp of the Ming Army?"

Li Yimin stood up straight, looked directly at Liu Pu, and said sharply: "The Great Tomorrow Envoy lives in the Taiwei's Mansion, and the Taiwei is an old minister of the Ming Dynasty. At this time when my Annan is in turmoil, the heavy burden must be the Taiwei! Is Cheng disobedient?"

"I... obey the order." Liu Pu reluctantly agreed.

Li Yimin breathed a sigh of relief and said to the eunuch: "Take the sword."

Li Sicheng mortgaged the hilt of the Shuntian Sword to Emperor Daming, betting with Emperor Daming that Li Sicheng could enter Shenglong before November and kill Li Yimin.

At this moment, Li Yimin took out the blade of the Shuntian Sword, and prepared it as a condition for peace negotiation.

Li Yimin stroked the blade of the sword, and said with a sigh: "Follow the sky, obey the destiny, take it."

"For this peace negotiation, please send the Taiwei to His Majesty the Great Ming Emperor who unifies the world. I, Annan, have no intention of disobedience. It is a misunderstanding that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals will seek rebellion and disobedience. Today, I offer the Shuntian Sword to obey the destiny."

"From now on, Chen An Nanguo will disarm all armaments and disband all soldiers. From then on, no more soldiers will be formed, and all soldiers will be stationed by the Ming Army."

"I invite you to descend to the county king, move the palace to Tianjin Wei, and invite Daming county...Annan."

"All of Annan's yellow books and fish scale books were handed over to the Daming camp on the day the Ming army entered Shenglong City."

"Gu... I will lead Annan's civil and military forces, and when Daming enters the city, I will welcome the king's division into the city."

Li Yimin is exchanging An Nanguo for his personal political status. He has made a lot of money during his one year stay in Shenglong City. Even in Tianjin Wei, as long as there is nothing wrong with him, it is absolutely okay to be a rich man. any questions.

Liu Pu waited for a while, but still did not see any document, that is to say, Li Yimin still handed over the document of surrender to Liu Pu to write, creating a kind of crime of subjugation, which is really a betrayal of his confidants, and Ming Dynasty Fornication leads to the subjugation of the country.

When judging in the future, it can also be concluded that the lonely is not the king of the subjugated country, but the minister is the judgment of the subjugated minister.

The tradition of tabooing the respected is especially prevalent in the Confucian cultural circle.

Liu Pu bowed his head and left Shenglong City, seeing all the eunuchs running back and forth in panic, he suddenly smiled.

These eunuchs and maidservants held the treasures in the Thang Long Imperial City, including gold, silver, jewelry, and various items and utensils. One eunuch was carrying a solid wooden cabinet. He was exhausted and was severely crushed by the solid wooden cabinet. Under the body, it seemed that he would not survive, but no one rescued him.

"The water is gone, the water is gone!" An exclamation came from nowhere, but no one was there to put out the fire, and everyone was still running for their lives separately.

Liu Pu's slightly hunched body walked through the flickering flames and the sound of countless people running and shouting, leaving a long shadow on the ground and leaving Shenglong Imperial City.

At this time, in the Shenglong Imperial City, Li Yimin held a razor in his hand, and said to the eunuch with a serious expression: "Shave it."

"Take the things we packed up and leave the city tonight. The boats have been prepared, and we can enter the sea in one day, and arrive in Luzon in ten days."

Li Yimin wanted to run away. He asked Liu Pu to surrender on behalf of Annan. It was entirely a tactic to slow down the troops. It was entirely for the current escape plan. He prepared [-] porters, picked enough gold and silver, and picked them up on the boat. Dress up and get on the boat, then take the boat to Luzon, and then make a long-term plan.

Li Yimin was a little scared. He had always been sure that even Annan in Daming County, as the king of Annan, could survive, but when things came to an end, he still wanted to control his own life in his own hands, not Daming's. The mercy of the emperor.

"Today's shame will be reported tomorrow!" Li Yimin once again showed his grumpy face, and made a gesture in front of the mirror, signaling the eunuch to shave him.

The eunuch picked up the razor, hesitated for a while, but did not end the life of the faint king, but chose to shave Li Yimin's hair little by little, and put on the cassock that he had prepared long ago.

"Let's go!" Li Yimin didn't have any nostalgia, changed into cassock, and immediately left the burning imperial city of Shenglong.

Liu Pu took the blade of the Shuntian Sword and handed it to Yuan Bin. This thing is not worth much, but it has a strong political symbolic meaning, so you can feel at ease when you hand it over to the emperor.

"Is Li Yimin dreaming?" Tang Xing glanced at the blade of the sword, it was nothing special, he stopped looking at it, but listened to Li Yimin's condition, and said with a sneer.

In the proclamation of the Ming Dynasty, it has been clearly stated: Li Yimin killed the lord and usurped the throne, slaughtered loyal ministers, imposed severe punishments for prostitution, murdered innocent people violently, collected troublesome levy, and continued to exploit the twenty major crimes. , the crime of defeating the abuser.

Li Yimin still wants to be the king of the county and move to Tianjin Wei. Isn't this a dream?

But Liu Pu shook his head, hesitated a little and said: "This Li Yimin is about to run away, although I haven't received any news, but judging by his expression, he doesn't seem to have lost his mind."

Liu Pu didn't get any news from the palace, and he was sure that Li Yimin was going to run away, but in the Imperial City of Shenglong, there were palace eunuchs who robbed property everywhere, and no one dealt with the fire, obviously Li Yimin was ready to run away.

Liu Pu ran out from Guangzhou Mansion, he knew very well what the person who wanted to run looked like.

Yuan Bin stood up and said, "Hmph, want to run? I'm in Shenglong City, so I want to see where he is going!"

Yuan Bin has always had an indissoluble bond with rebellious officials and thieves, whether it is running 84 miles to catch Xining, riding a hundred men to catch the three brothers of the Qu family, or sailing to Shuri Prefecture to catch Zhao Mingrui, the person His Majesty wants, Yuan Bin has never been No misses.

Liu Pu felt that his neck was cold and shivered. He had heard of Yuan Bin's bravery. Yuan Bin came to An Nanguo just to keep an eye on Liu Pu and prevent Liu Pu from making troubles by bandits.

Now that the general situation has been decided, not only did Liu Pu not abandon Daming again, but he has been cooperating to help Daming advance. Since Liu Pu has not rebelled again, then arresting Li Yimin can be regarded as a errand.

"Then please communicate with Commander Li and the Ming Army, and enter the city tomorrow." Liu Pu said to Tang Xing, and began to order the city gate to be opened at dawn tomorrow to welcome Wang Shi into the city.

Tang Xing agreed wholeheartedly, nodded and said, "It's easy to say."

It was night, Liu Pu asked the chef to prepare a table of delicious dishes, made a jug of good wine, and called the eldest son Liu Chengqing into the room.

After drinking a cup, Liu Puman said: "My son, he was unfaithful and filial to his father, he was unkind and unrighteous, and he rebelled against the emperor. This is where he failed."

"I know, you have always complained about me, that I listened to the bewitching of villains, that I didn't understand the destiny, and that I lost the reputation of Anyuanhoufu."

"I know it all."

"Father." Liu Chengqing drank a glass of wine with mixed flavors and said, "Father, as long as the Ming army enters the city, everything will be fine."

"Your Majesty has already promised to forgive my mother and younger brothers if my father does his best in the Annan affairs in the county. Your Majesty will keep his word and never break his word. Since we have tried our best, His Majesty will definitely let his mother and younger brothers go."

"Father was ordered by the emperor to save the life of Li Yimin, the faint lord, and then he contributed to Langshan Map, and today he arranged for the surrender of Shenglong City. As long as we don't have the heart to rebel, His Majesty will not tolerate us." How many low lives?"

Liu Pu showed a smile, leaned on the back of the chair, nodded the table and said: "You are right, Your Majesty is lenient, even without me, Annan's shrimp soldiers and crab generals, can stop the Great Tomorrow Army?"

Liu Chengqing's complexion changed and he shook his head and said: "In the second year of Xuande, when the Ming army was in full swing, it was still defeated in Annan. I think my father has no credit, but it can be regarded as some hard work. Your Majesty has always been rewarding and punishing. I believe in Your Majesty."

"I believe it too." Liu Pu patted Liu Chengqing on the shoulder and said, "If anyone in this world is trustworthy, only His Majesty is the only one. Lead Ming Dynasty to prosper!"

"Some things cannot be made difficult for your Majesty. A courtier who makes things difficult for the monarch is because he has no heart of obedience. Since ancient times, in ancient and modern China and abroad, surrendered generals can be accepted, but traitorous generals cannot be tolerated."

"I am a rebellious minister and traitor, and I joined with Sun Jizong to rebel violently. The facts are solid. Your Majesty spared my life for the sake of my insignificant achievements in Annan County, and because of your grandfather's death in the battle for Ming Dynasty. It is difficult for His Majesty to do so, and if the ministers in court do not mention it in words or in writing, wouldn’t His Majesty be wronged?"

"Tomorrow, take my head and kneel down to greet Master Wang. Marquis Ningyang is old with me, Marquis Wen'an and Yu Qian are not people who killed innocent people indiscriminately. If you take my head to surrender, Your Majesty will not be embarrassed."

Liu Chengqing's face changed in shock, he stood up abruptly, and said in horror: "Father!"

Liu Pu smiled, closed his eyes, his body was twitching non-stop, the corner of his mouth flowed blood, and then spurted a lot of blood foam, he said with the last bit of strength: "Remember, you have to trust Your Majesty, Your Majesty is right. , you have to... keep believing."

Liu Pu slowly loosened his hold on his son's hand, and when he left, he showed a calm and relieved smile.

When Tang Xing found Liu Pu, Liu Pu said that he would die to thank His Majesty for his kindness.

At that time, Tang Xing didn't take it seriously at all. Whose life is not life?Better to die than to live.

The death of Liu Pu is a relief. He has been living in the remorse of the outrageous betrayal of the emperor. When he was dying, he could still see the Ming army revisiting Annan in the county. It was also a relief for his father Liu Sheng who died in this battle. Pity.

The next day, at dawn, all the eight gates of Shenglong City were opened, and the guards in the city knelt on both sides of the road to welcome the Ming army into the city.

Chen Mao rode an ox into the city. He was too old to ride a horse, and the ox was stable enough. Behind him were the generals of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Mao from England, Zhu Yi from Cheng, and Mu from Qian. Lin et al.

Yu Qian stayed in the camp, and once things changed, he immediately led the rear army to help.

Before Chen Mao entered the city, he had already dispatched the vanguard Dingxihou Jiang Wan and the commander Shi Biao to take over the defense of Thang Long City.

Li Yimin had already run away, and Shenglong City surrendered without a fight.

Chen Mao came to Liu Chengqing on a bull. Everyone was a general. When he was in the capital, he didn't look up and look down. Chen Mao knew Liu Chengqing, and the child even hugged him when he was a child.

"Where's your father? Where is Liu Pu?"

"He is so brave, he dared to be a traitor. Li Li arrested his father Liu Sheng, knocked off Liu Sheng's heavenly cover, poured honey and ants into it to persuade him to surrender, but Liu Sheng didn't surrender. Fortunately, he felt that he was in Guangdong and Guangxi. , the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one cares about him anymore, right?"

"Today, this old man is going to be his father, so I have to teach him a lesson." Chen Mao said with a high spirit while holding the bullwhip. Chen Mao and Liu Sheng had a very good personal relationship, and they were all sealed together in Jing'an in the hands of Emperor Wen. Hou, Liu Sheng's death was more than miserable?

Chen Mao taught Liu Pu and his father a lesson, and injured Liu Pu all over his body, so he could go to His Majesty to ask for a coincidence and a favor.

"Here, my father said, don't embarrass Your Majesty." Liu Chengqing picked up a wooden box and said in tears.

Inside this box is Liu Pu's head.

Chen Mao opened the wooden box, looked at Liu Pu's face, was speechless for a long time, closed the wooden box, and said helplessly: "If I knew today, why bother? Today I ended up with a decapitated body."

Chapter 7: Emperor Zhenwu punishes the evildoers, and the treacherous sea wall breaks the huge ship!

Yu Qian chose to enter the city on the third day, because the city had already been settled.

To Yu Qian's surprise, the dilapidation of Thang Long City was far beyond his imagination, and it was not even as prosperous as Lang Son Province. It was like a ghost town, without any popularity, and even the main street was overgrown with weeds.

The dilapidation of the capital of Annan Kingdom was entirely due to Li Yimin's brutal exploitation. Just after the Ming army took Lang Son Mansion, Li Yimin ordered the imperial guards to start orderly confiscating the food in the inner city and outer city. According to the city to defend, at least one year, until the Ming army retreats.

When the three lines of the Ming Army were advancing side by side, Li Yimin once again ordered to confiscate all property. This method of confiscating property immediately aroused resistance from the common people. The intensity of the confiscation, a bloody and cruel massacre began.

After the Ming army captured Duobang City, the city finally turned into a chaotic purgatory on earth, and everyone was in panic. Sitting on the throne, Li Yimin, the owner of Shenglong Imperial City and the king of Annan, chose five hundred porters. With Xiruan, he was ordained as a monk and escaped by boat.

The entire Shenglong City, only in the Cuiyu Temple, Haichi, Jiangwu Hall and other places, has a little popularity and a little prosperity, and it has also become a place where the people in the city come to escape. , just give stuttering.

This is Liu Pu's site, and it is also the station of the "Shanglong Army" where Liu Pu has been fooling Li Yimin, and the Shenglong Army has been building Haichi and Jade Palace since its establishment.

"The land of the first beneficence supported by 500 million people has withered like this. No wonder Li Yimin wanted to run away. He knew what he was doing." Yu Qian came to the Jiangwu Hall next to the sea pool with a frown. After sitting down, he looked at the By the rippling lake, that white jade-colored palace.

It was the palace built by Liu Pu for His Majesty—Cuiyu Palace, which is more solemn and solemn than Shenglong Imperial City.

However, this Jade Palace has not been completely completed, only the main building has been built, and the rest of the interior decoration has not started at all.
