The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

The Yi army took more than 4,000 prisoners to the Hekoudian Ming Army camp and formed a formation two miles away from the west gate. They did not rush to attack the camp, but first persuaded them to surrender.

The first is to persuade the captured Ming army officers and soldiers to surrender, and the second is to persuade the Ming army in the camp to surrender.

Although the Hekoudian camp is not as big as the tea shop, the terrain is relatively dangerous - it is surrounded by a hillside on the island. The camp is located at the highest point of the slope, surrounded by rivers on three sides. Only the west side can be arrayed to attack the city.

However, the terrain in the west is relatively narrow and uneven.

In this kind of terrain, if the Ming army holds on and cannot be defeated, the Yi army will have to sacrifice many soldiers if they want to capture it.

On the march to Hekoudian, the Eighth Brigade military officer Tan Yajun tried to persuade the captured Wang Guangen to surrender.

"I heard that Wang Youyi also came from the rebel army. In today's world, the defeat of the Ming Dynasty is a foregone conclusion. Why not switch to our Yi tribe?"

Wang Guangen is not stubborn.

Historically, under the supervision of Gao Doushu and Xu Qiyuan, he resisted Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng in Yunyang for two or three years.

In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, due to the isolation from the outside world, Wu Sangui and Xu Qiyuan were deceived into the camp by Wu Sangui as Ping Xibo of the Ming Dynasty and were kidnapped before surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

Obviously, he was not a die-hard loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, he snorted coldly and said: "You only occupy the land of three prefectures, but the Ming Dynasty still has two capitals and thirteen provinces. How can you talk about defeat?"

As a brigade-level military and political officer, Tan Yajun took political classes from Liu Sheng.

Hearing the words, he smiled and said: "Although the Ming Dynasty was great, it has long been decayed - Chongzhen was mediocre and incompetent. He could not recognize and employ people. He did not take responsibility. If the war was not favorable at all, he would question the governor and even be imprisoned and beheaded.

When dealing with generals like Zuo Liangyu and Liaoxi Jiangmen who were almost warlords, they only knew how to comfort them and did not dare to bear the pain and remove them. Other generals who served the country loyally were abandoned by him like worn-out shoes once they lost their troops.

In the northern provinces, there were continuous natural disasters and military disasters. Instead of providing relief to the people, the Ming Dynasty resorted to excessive taxation and expropriation, which led to continuous uprisings among the people.

In addition to natural disasters in the southern provinces, there are also corrupt officials who collude with the gentry to exploit the people and control the local areas.

Therefore, it seems that the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty still exist, but the actual troops, horses, money and food that can be mobilized are quite limited. Just like an old and sick tiger, it will fall down at any time. "

Wang Guangen didn't have much knowledge, but he could feel that the Ming Dynasty was full of problems and was declining. After hearing what Tan Yajun said, he nodded subconsciously.

Tan Yajun continued: "Our Wei tribe is like Ruhu. Although we currently only have the territory of Sanfu, we are about to capture Yunyang. Chengtian, Jingzhou, De'an, Huangzhou and other places are also in our pocket.

If the war goes well, we might be able to capture the entire Huguang this year. When it falls, you can take Sichuan to the west, and you can take Jiangnan if you go east along the river.

By winning the two major granaries of Sichuan and Huguang, and then taking over the tax-rich area of ​​Jiangnan, our tribe can sweep the world and change dynasties! "

In fact, after being captured, Wang Guangen was determined to surrender to save his life. Now after hearing Tan Yajun's words, he made his decision.

He asked: "If I don't surrender, will you kill me?"

Tan Yajun said: "We generally do not kill captured enemy generals unless the person is notorious and has committed a heinous crime. But if he does not surrender, he will be punished with at least ten years of hard labor."

"Then if I surrender, what arrangements will your department make?"

"If you are simply surrendering after being captured, you need to attend our advanced training class for general officers. Only after you pass the assessment can you be appointed, with the lowest being a team officer and the highest being a battalion officer.

But if Wang Gueryi performs meritorious service, such as persuading others to surrender on our behalf, or provides some important military intelligence, his position will naturally be higher in the future. "

Wang Guangen was not satisfied with Weibu's arrangement, but he felt that it was more realistic and he didn't have to worry about being killed for any reason later.

So he nodded and said, "I can try to persuade Gao Doushu to surrender!"

···

Upstairs at the west gate of Hekou Store Yingzhai.

Gao Doushu looked at the Kuei army and thousands of prisoners outside with a solemn expression.

The leader of a village soldier next to him said: "Gaodaotai, are the bandits trying to drive the prisoners to attack the stronghold?"

Gao Doushu also had this worry. After hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the soldiers that if the prisoners are captured and attack the stronghold, no mercy will be shown!"

The leader of the local soldiers was stunned for a moment, but he still said "yes".

Some of the prisoners outside were from Wang Guangen's camp, and some were from the camp across the river for reinforcements. There were no rural soldiers. However, seeing Gao Doushu being so cruel, he felt a little chilled.

At this time, the morale of the Ming army in the camp was extremely low.

Because the news that Wang Guangen failed to stop the enemy and that the reinforcements on the other side of the river were defeated has spread in the camp.

Now listening to Gao Doushu's order not to show mercy to the captured Ming army, the hundreds of soldiers still in the camp suddenly started to make a noise.

As a last resort, Gao Doushu could only detach some rural soldiers to suppress it, and he barely managed to prevent civil strife from breaking out.

At this time, Wang Guangen, escorted by several Weibu Dao players, came to the walled city more than a hundred steps away to shout.

"Gaodaotai! There are more than 20,000 troops outside the city, and the reinforcements sent by Li Wanqing and Li Maochun have also been defeated. The city is besieged and there is no help. You should surrender, right?!"

Gao Doushu cursed angrily: "Wang Guangen, I thought you were a loyal person, but I didn't expect you to turn into a thief in a blink of an eye!"

Wang Guangen said: "I just don't want the brothers in the village to lose their lives in vain! Let the brothers in the village think about it, how will the family live if you die? Do you really want to lose your family's life for this corrupt imperial court?!"

The village soldiers in the village are all locals.

After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel worried when I thought about the possible fate of their parents, wives and children after they died in the battle.

Gao Doushu noticed the changes in the mood of the village soldiers and regretted letting Wang Guangen say these words. He hurriedly ordered: "Fire! Use the Crouching Tiger Cannon to blast these thieves to death!"

The village soldiers hesitated after hearing this.

However, Wang Guangen and several Weibu sword players hurriedly retreated to the rear.

When Gao Doushu saw that the local soldiers were delayed in firing, he couldn't help but draw his sword and scolded: "You don't respect orders, are you going to rebel?!"

Unexpectedly, his action actually stimulated the surrounding soldiers.

Many rural soldiers who already hated the government aimed their weapons at Gao Doushu.

Even a leader of the local soldiers drew his sword and said in a deep voice: "Gaodaotai, you are a good official. We don't want to kill you. Surrender!"

Compared with most officials in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Doushu was indeed a good official. The village soldiers did not want to harm him, so they shouted together: "Gaodaotai, surrender!"

"Down!"

After listening to the village soldiers repeatedly trying to persuade them to surrender, Gao Doushu couldn't help but look desperate. He pointed his sword at the soldiers and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

Finally, he sighed and said: "That's it, that's all, you have no reason to die for the Ming Dynasty, just surrender.

But as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I, Gao Doushu, can't surrender the traitor? Now that Yunyang is lost, the only thing left to do is to be loyal to death! "

After saying that, he would kill himself with his sword.

However, the leader of the local soldiers next to him grabbed his arm and took away his sword.

Soon, the west gate of the Hekoudian camp opened, allowing the Wei army to capture it without bloodshed.

On that day, an army of 20,000 to 30,000 troops from the Wei tribe landed on the north bank of the Han River and besieged the county seat of Yun County.

After three rounds of bombardment, Xu Qiyuan, Li Wanqing, and Wang Guangxing saw that the city was difficult to defend and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, so they opened the door to dedicate the city and surrendered the Wei tribe.
