Chapter 518 Surrender

8days ago Historical fiction 7
Yao Ji finally entered the palace as scheduled, which was something no one could stop him. Zhang Fan and Yao Ji gradually decreased. It took a long drive to come and go, and they had to start busy after the New Year.

There are always threats from the Northern Dynasties, and it is impossible to always be immersed in the gentle land. Zhang Fan also hopes to use this to suppress his longing for Yao Ji.

The Southern Dynasty changed its era after the New Year and was no longer called Jianwen, which is inevitable.It makes sense whether it is the restoration of the new dynasty, the end of a humiliating era, or the opening of a new era.

Revival, a word full of vitality has gradually been widely mentioned on the southern continent.That's right, the two simple words show the determination to revive and unify the Southern Dynasties.

In April of the first year of Revival, while harvesting the joy of victory, the Southern Dynasty did not forget to recruit soldiers and train troops, rectify military supplies and food.

Crown Prince Zhang Fan led an army of 200,000 to prepare to cross the river and give the Northern Dynasties the last blow.On the other side, Zhou Mengxiong, Yu Qian, Yao Fang and others led another 150,000 soldiers to advance north at the same time.

Zhang Fan originally planned to start from Zhenjiang to occupy Yangzhou first, after all, Yangzhou was still a very prosperous city at this time.

But what surprised him was that before he started fighting, Yangzhou Governor Li Mingkui had already handed over the surrender letter.

In order to show his sincerity, he withdrew all the military garrisons and ships along the Yangtze River and opened the city to welcome Zhang Fan.Zhang Fan successfully crossed the river and stationed his army on the shore to discuss the matter in the tent.

I think they were leading us in and then closing the door and beating the dog.

Zhu Guangyang was the one who went to the army this time, and Zhao Hu, as the imperial guard, naturally followed him. Zhou Mengxiong's son Zhou Zhong and Zhu Heng and others spoke with Zhu Guangyang.

However, Yangzhou only has 50,000 defenders. If the bloody battle is really done, it will inevitably lead to disaster. Perhaps it is unknown whether Li Mingkui is a sympathetic person in the military and civilians.

Zhou Zhong is relatively young and thinks more straightforwardly.

Zhu Guangyang: Since this is the case, it is better to let them withdraw their troops ten miles outside the city to show their sincerity.

Zhu Heng: Even so, it is not a good situation to let this army be left behind.

Zhou Zhong: Split and fall into various places.

Zhu Heng: What if they are unwilling to withdraw their troops?

Zhou Zhong: Then you can fight hard. They only have such a few people, so it will definitely be fine.

Zhu Heng: The problem in this way is that it will be another statement when it comes to other city guards in Xuande.

Zhou Zhong: What is the statement?

Zhu Heng: Although our dynasty is orthodox, he is unwilling to accept surrendered generals and is extremely aggressive in dealing with the enemy.

Zhu Guangyang: This may be the crux of the problem.No matter whether they want to surrender to this city or not, there is no natural danger, they cannot be defended no matter what.As for how to cause the greatest harm to us under such circumstances, it is the truth.

Zhu Heng: This may be a conspiracy, but I don’t know who conceived it.

Zhang Fan fell into deep thought as he listened to their discussion.

……

On the other hand, Yang Yu and a few soldiers survived and crossed the river to the north, and received Xuande and others in Yangzhou.

Although Emperor Jianwen was not released in the end, Emperor Xuande did not blame him because he left a bunch of objects on the emperor and explained the importance of Jianwen's life in detail.

And despite his father's in the Southern Dynasty, he tried to resist the opposition and wanted him to guard Yangzhou. However, this move received too many oppositions, and it was nothing more. Just because his father was in Nanjing, it was impossible for him to entrust a city to such a person.

Xuande thought about it and made sense. After Yang Yu expressed his loyalty, he asked him to be the deputy to the governor of Yangzhou to assist in defense, so he has been recuperating in Yangzhou for the past few months.

The governor of Yangzhou Li Mingkui is also a talented person. From Yang Pu's character to the few months he spent with Yang Yu, he was almost certain that this person would not be afraid of his father because of his father. He was a person who was loyalty more than filial piety.

Moreover, when he heard that Yang Pu did not surrender in Nanjing, this was undoubtedly telling his children about his loyalty to the Northern Dynasties and letting his children be loyal to the country and serve the country without caring about himself.

So a few days ago, they learned about the actions of the Southern Dynasty, so Yang Yu hurriedly came to Li Mingkui.

Brother Mingkui thought Yangzhou could be defended?

cannot.

In my opinion, it would be better to surrender.

Li Mingkui believed that he would never misunderstand the situation when he saw people. He looked at him with a little confusion and waited for him to continue talking.

Introduce the rebels into the city and kill Zhu Wenbiao!

Wouldn’t that bend the city?

There is no danger to defend in the small land of Yangzhou.

……

Once Zhu Wenbiao dies, if the Southern Dynasties have no master in a short period of time, they will inevitably fall into civil strife. At the least, they will not be able to go north for several years, and at the worst, they will fall apart. Our dynasty can be taken down in one fell swoop.Besides, today I heard that Your Majesty is in good health... We also need a certain amount of time to digest the internal conflicts.

Yang Yu obviously did a deep study of this plan. It is true that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty had no prestige. All the military powers of each faction were all based on Zhang Fan. If Zhang Fan was gone, the good thing would be that Yao Ji suppressed the civil strife and the family would dominate until Zhang Fan's youngest son grew up.

The bad thing is to fall apart and fall into endless civil strife.

Yang Yu was very clear about the situation here, even if Zhang Fan died, the possibility of the Northern Dynasties going south was not high, because Xuande seemed to be out of reach, and his only child was still in the Southern Dynasties. I don’t know if Xuande has worked overtime recently to create a person. He may be powerless, the Northern Dynasties may also fall into long-term chaos.

If the Southern Dynasties are not good, there is still a young son to look forward to, but it is really difficult for the Northern Dynasties. The other brothers and elders of Xuande will inevitably fight for this. Of course, these are the situations where Xuande cannot survive. If he survives, then his first contribution will be made in history, but he should not have lived at that time...

So Zhu Wenbiao must be killed no matter what, whether it is for the Northern Dynasties to breathe off or to quell the rebellion in one fell swoop.

However, he did not express these worries, and he still explained the results of the plan to the advantage.

How to plan?

Although Li Mingkui did not know about Xuande's situation, he was very clear about the feasibility of the plan. First of all, Yangzhou would definitely not be able to defend it. It was just a matter of time. The court would not send troops to guard a non-strategic city without danger.

Secondly, he can force Zhang Fan to fall into the trap. If he chooses to attack Yangzhou for a strong attack, it will inevitably lead to conflicts among the city lords who want to surrender. After all, not everyone has a loyal heart. Since both emperors have the surname Zhu, who should be?

Zhang Fan and the others will inevitably ask us to withdraw the defenders from Yangzhou. At that time, we say that we will only withdraw half of them, otherwise it will be too fake. When they come in, they will first hand over the military power and let Zhang Fan relax his vigilance. Then, they will sign the surrender document at the city lord's office and ambush the troops and kill them. Zhang Fan must take over the city himself, otherwise he will not hand over the military power.

What if he was greedy for life and fear of death?

Then refuse to surrender.Both of them understood the twists and turns, and Zhang Fan had a high probability of having to come.

This is a conspiracy.Li Mingkui couldn't help but praise.

Yes, neither.
