Chapter 409 The Cold Final Sound

8days ago Historical fiction 7
In Nanzhili, most of the connections between Nanjing City and the outside world have been divided and cut off.

In mid-May, the army of officials advanced to the relatively flat south of the city to guard. Emperor Xuande also crossed the river and came outside the south gate in person after the battle of the Yangtze River was a foregone conclusion.

Nanjing City was built and reinforced several times after its founding in the Ming Dynasty. Although it suffered once during the Jianwen period, it is still the largest and most solid important town in Jiangnan.

There are no less than 100,000 troops stationed in it, and if it is a strong attack, it will inevitably be tragic.

But now, Emperor Xuande is sure to win but is not anxious. Whether it is persuading surrender or forcing it, it is only a matter of time to recover, and the winner is always very patient.

The only person who is anxious is Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han, who feels like he is being roasted on fire.

The imperial army has not officially started to attack the city, and every day it only fires cannons and volleys outside the city to demonstrate, aggravate the tension inside.

Zhu Gaoxu received a secret report from the eunuchs, and many civil servants and generals were colluding to discuss capturing him out of the city to dedicate his merits to Xuande.

He was afraid and angry, but he couldn't deal with those villains at this time, so he could only pretend not to know.

He couldn't sleep at night, and when he was too sleepy, he would wake up soon after he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was always worried that someone was holding a knife in front of him and putting it on his neck.

At this time, he secretly had a glimmer of hope, thinking that Xuande and Zhu Zhanji were the son of his elder brother after all. Although he had a breakup, blood was thicker than water. As long as he took the initiative to surrender, his nephew might be able to live a life due to romance.

But the King of Han followed this idea and thought it carefully, this path was not easy to follow.

At least several important people in the army would not agree to surrender even if they died. For example, the commanders of the Five Armies, such as Wang Bin, Weida, Sheng Jian and other military generals. These people were the commanders of the royal guards before and had been determined to follow the rebellion. How could they surrender even though they knew that there was no way out to survive in the hands of Emperor Xuande?

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu himself couldn't bear to say that he wanted to surrender in front of his subordinates, because he had always been tough and domineering in front of others, so how could he give in?

Now no one in the city dares to surrender, and those who want to surrender are afraid that the generals who are in charge of the soldiers will kill them directly, so they dare not say that.

Only a group of people asked to go to the battle to fight to the death with the government army...

The question is, if we can really win, why would we be forced to the city?

In the afternoon of that day, the sun was almost set, and Wang Bin and other commanders went outside the palace to ask for a meeting.

When Zhu Gaoxuxuan entered the palace, Wang Bin said: I heard that someone was surrendering. I would rather fight to the death than surrender because of the current plan.I ask the prince to lead his soldiers out of the city to compete with the official army. With the prince's bravery, he still has a chance of winning!

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu had lost the courage of the past, and the hero was also a very fragile mortal.

The sound of cannons and worry that day and night made me too exhausted, and despair occupied my whole body and mind.

He didn't think there was any chance on the battlefield, there was still an isolated city left, and the entire battle situation collapsed, and there was nothing to fight; in addition, he could not effectively control the army in Nanjing, and he had his own thoughts below. Zhu Gaoxu even worried that it would be a trivial matter if he went to the battlefield and was likely to be killed by his own people to sacrifice his merits.

Sitting in the Nanjing Palace where Taizu once sat, Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while and said: To fight, we must first reorganize the army. Let the ministers come to the palace to discuss matters tomorrow, and then make arrangements after long-term plans.

After hearing this, Wang Bin and others went back with a little satisfaction.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that things could no longer be delayed, and he learned that his nephew Zhu Zhanji was outside the South Gate City, so he made secret arrangements that night.

The next morning, he asked the eunuchs to arrange for the ministers to enter the palace according to the rules. He changed into the clothes of the people, and hurried out from the small gate of the imperial city with only one eunuch.

He left the city and went straight to the official army camp, but was taken by the scout.

The soldier did not recognize him, so he tied him up first. When the ministers in the court heard the news, they came to recognize each other, and then they confirmed the identity of the King of Han, and then took the tent of the central army to meet the emperor.

The King of Han was wearing a common man at this time and was in a mess when he was captured, and his expression was very embarrassed.

When they arrived at the big tent, Zhu Zhanji, who was the winner, sat majestic in the upper position, and Zhang Fu, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji and other important officials were angrily standing on both sides and glaring.

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his noble head that had been rebellious for many years, and his knees became soft. He knelt down to his nephew and the emperor: I know I deserve to die, so I ask the emperor to sue him.

The ministers expressed their opinions, counting the crimes of the Han king in person, and advising the emperor to directly punish him in the army.

Since the Yongle Dynasty, no one dared to offend the King of Han, whether it was a noble or a minister.Now he can curse in person, without any pressure, and everyone seems to have a sigh of anger that has been holding back for many years.

But the emperor quickly stopped the advice of his ministers and did not order the execution of the King of Han, nor did he say that he was guilty of death. Even if the King of Han raised his troops to rebel and suffered money, countless people died in the war...

It’s not that Zhu Zhanji doesn’t hate him. This uncle has been bullying their father and son for many years, and finally he wants to seize the throne while he has just ascended the throne. This kind of thing is something that no emperor can tolerate.

However, Zhu Zhanji felt that he had endured it for so long, so there was no need to rush to kill him now.

Zhu Zhanji immediately issued an order to ask the King of Han to send a message back to the city and summon several sons.At this point, the King of Han had no choice but to do as he said.

Wenwu in the city learned that the Han King had sent out to surrender, and for a moment, the leaderless group of dragons had fallen into the collapse of the organization. Fortunately, the official army did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city, otherwise how could they defend the city in such a situation?

At this moment, the imperial edict was sent into the city.

The emperor pardoned the army's crimes and asked them to give up their weapons and become the people of the Ming Dynasty again.

An edict immediately prevented the prosperous Nanjing from suffering disaster again.

The morale of the Han Wang Army was also lost, and no soldiers were willing to fight against the official army again.

The military power of Wang Bin and others disappeared in an instant, and the power was nothing more than that. No one would listen to their orders to work hard.

Several of the criminals knew that the situation was hopeless, and finally retained a little bit of demeanor and left the palace quietly.

On the long street outside the south gate of the imperial city, there were few people in the city closing their doors and pedestrians, as if they suddenly became deserted.

The chores who cleaned the streets had not worked for a few days. Some leaves and debris were accumulated on the road, and they floated in the air when the wind blew.

Wang Bin, an eight-foot-foot-sized man in armor, looked up at the scene at this moment, and his eyes felt sad and sad that was not very consistent with the warriors.

Thinking back to the beginning, the flags covered the sky with iron armor, and awesme attacked the city and raised an army. Even if we were to be defeated, we should have died vigorously on the battlefield. But where are those passionate things?

Only a few lonely people were left, the neglected long street.

Unexpectedly, this ended, I had to sigh and sigh.The gray sky reminds people of the future in the underworld, and the whole world seems to gradually reach the tranquility of death again.
