Chapter 495 Tang Tong Surrenders

Zhao Ming ordered his soldiers to pile up the captured Qing army flags under the city, and then killed Shi Lang under the city of Lushun.

Although Shi Lang is a talent for water warfare, Zhao Ming felt that this person was difficult to control. Moreover, Donghai Town had already established a Navy Academy, and there was no shortage of Shi Lang, so he decided to kill him to shock the enemy in Lushun.

After doing all this, the Ming army, who had returned from sailing, immediately moored a boat to rest.

In the camp, Zhao Mingze promoted to the tent and summoned many generals to discuss.

In the big tent, Zhao Ming took off his armor, changed into a regular dress, and sat upright in the commander's position. The generals on both sides stood respectfully, Xie Qian was discussing the situation in Lushun City.

"Master, in recent days, the army has cleared the strongholds and forts outside Lushun City and surrounded the city." Xie Qian said with his fist: "Now, the navy has defeated the Qing army's navy and cut off the channels for Lushun to obtain supplies from the sea. Lushun has become an isolated city."

Zhao Ming asked: "What's going on in the direction of Chenyang? Is Hong Zhe going to rescue Tang Tong?"

Xie Qian shook his head, "Yu Guowang stationed troops in Gaizhou and was preparing to stop the Qing troops from Chenyang from going south, but the Qing army's people did not see it. Yu Guowang sent people to investigate in the direction of Chenyang and found that the Qing army was rushing to collect autumn grain and strengthening the city defense, but did not intend to rescue Lushun!"

Zhao Ming Wenyu sneered: "Tang Tong, Wu Sangui and others sold Hong Zhe once. It seems that Hong Zhe planned to sell Tang Tong this time!"

Everyone burst into laughter, Xie Qian laughed and said, "Master General, Lushun is now an isolated city. If Tang Tong knew about his qualities, he should surrender immediately. Otherwise, the army will be surrounded and the city will be destroyed sooner or later, and the food will be exhausted."

Zhao Ming nodded and said, "I hope Tang Tong can understand. If the Lushun defenders surrender, I will get 20,000 troops as the front drive and conquer Chenyang in one fell swoop."

After defeating the Qing Navy, the Qing army outside the pass was already a turtle in the jar for Zhao Ming.

Not long ago, Zhao Ming had sent someone to hold a letter and returned to Jiangdong. Then he went to central Zhejiang to pay homage to Zhu Yihai and went to Changsha to meet Zhu Lujian, hoping that the Ming army could launch a large-scale counterattack.

If something happens in the south and restrains the Qing army's forces, Donghai Town will capture Shenyang, it will be almost certain to win.

"Master!" At this moment, a gauntlet led the curtain in.

Zhao Ming looked up, but Li Benshen hurried in and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Benshen smiled and said, "Report to the Grand Marshal, people have come out of Lushun City."

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is it?"

"It was the former Qingzhou soldiers preparing for the road, and now the general of Jiezhou, Shanxi Province, Han Zhaoxuan!" Li Benshen replied.

Zhao Ming had a little puzzled look on his face. Gu Yanwu, who was standing beside him, immediately stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing Gu Yanwu's introduction, Zhao Ming suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person in history in the late Ming Dynasty.

When the Qing army entered the pass, Li Zicheng retreated westward. Shun general Zhao Yingyuan lost contact with the main force and wandered to Qingzhou, Shandong. He pretended to accept the Qingzhou, and suddenly captured Qingzhou, killed Wang Aoyong, the minister of the Qing Dynasty to recruit Shandong, and launched the Qingzhou Incident.

In order to pacify Zhao Yingyuan, the Qing Dynasty led the Manchu Jingqin to the south at night. Han Zhaoxuan cooperated with the Qing army to hold a banquet to kill Zhao Yingyuan, which pacified the Qingzhou Incident for the Qing Dynasty.

After that, Han Zhaoxuan began to serve as an official in the Qing court and participated in the suppression of rebel uprisings in various places. In this process, he saw many righteous men who sacrificed their lives for justice, and at the same time, he also saw the cruelty of the Qing Dynasty, and his thoughts gradually changed.

A few years later, Jiang Xiang opposed the Qing Dynasty in Datong. Han Zhaoxuan immediately raised an army in southern Jin Dynasty to respond. He also supported the Ming Dynasty royal family, King Han, and others, and fought against the Qing army. Unfortunately, he was eventually defeated and killed.

Han Zhaoxuan? is a complicated person. Zhao Ming then asked: "What did he do when he left the city?"

Li Benshen said: "When you go out of the city to pay homage to the Grand Marshal, what else can you do besides surrender? Others are outside the tent, will the Grand Marshal see him?"

Zhao Ming nodded, and Li Benshen immediately walked to the curtain, "Come in, General Han!"

The curtain was lifted up by the soldiers, and a general walked into the tent. He was less than forty years old and looked a little thin. He was not a military general, but a literati should have led the army.

"The criminal general Han Zhaoxuan has seen Zhao Shaobao." Han Zhaoxuan came forward, knelt down and saluted, and said loudly.

Zhao Ming asked calmly: "Why are you here?"

"The criminal general is ordered by General Tang, the chief general of Lushun, to discuss the surrender!" Han Zhaoxuan kowtowed immediately.

Zhao Ming raised his eyebrows and said domineeringly: "Does Tang Tong have any other conditions?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Han Zhaoxuan hurriedly lowered his head, "Young Guard's power, General Tang dared not offend him, and was willing to lead the soldiers in the city to surrender to the Young Guard, giving the soldiers a way out!"

Zhao Ming's expression calmed down a little, he thought for a moment, and ordered: "Go back immediately and let Tang Tong meet in the future. I accept your surrender, so that you can protect your lives without worries!"

Han Zhaoxuan was overjoyed when he heard the words and said happily: "I am humble and have the order!" After that, he bowed and stood up, preparing to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing that he was changing to a fast pace, Zhao Ming stretched out his hand and said, "Slowly, I have something to tell you, and it is also to tell the generals who commanded the troops in the city. If I sincerely submit, I can tell you clearly that I can do nothing about the past. If I make contributions in the future, I will treat you equally!"

Han Zhaoxuan hurriedly kowtowed to thank Zhao Ming for his great deeds. Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "You go down!"

Now Han Zhaoxuan returned to the city, and one hour later, someone came to report that Han Zhaoxuan, Tang Tong and others led more than ten Ming generals out of the city to surrender, came to pay homage to Zhao Ming and wait for the meeting.

Zhao Ming did not expect that the Qing army surrendered in the city and surrendered so decisively. He hurried back to the tent and met Tang Tong and others.

At this time, Zhao Ming returned to the tent. Tang Tong and others had been waiting for a while. Li Benshen, who was accompanying him, hurriedly stood up and said, "The Grand Marshal is here!"

When Tang Tong and others heard this, they immediately stood up and bowed to the Prime Minister to greet them.

Zhao Ming sat down until the main seat, and then said, "Sit."

But everyone lowered their heads and said they didn't dare.

Zhao Ming glanced over and asked, "Who is Tang Tong?"

After the words came to the ground, one of them raised his head, looked at Zhao Ming, stepped into the middle, saluted deeply at Zhao Ming, and then said loudly: "The general Tang Tong, who was once the general of the Ming Dynasty, was forced to be in the Qing Dynasty, but he was concerned about his homeland, and often thought about returning. Now Shaobao led a powerful army and defeated the Manchu Navy. The soldiers surrounded Lushun. The general was long-awaited and famous for Shaobao. He was well-known and admired. He was willing to surrender to Shaobao. He asked Shaobao to appoint the vanguard of the general and was sure to lead his troops to break through Shenyang and take the title of title!"

Zhao Ming looked at Tang Tong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, seven feet tall, rude on the outside, but actually delicate in his mind.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly, without replying, but asked, "What do you guys call me?"

The remaining Qing generals looked at each other, and one of them raised his head, looked at Zhao Ming, and immediately lowered his head, and said nervously: "The criminal general Li Qisheng, who is now a young security officer, has no intention of serving in front of the army to redeem his past sins."

Another general stood up and saluted Zhao Ming: "The sinner Yu Yin, Fenzhou, is divided into the road and is willing to die under Shaobao's command, and he will be punished for his crime."
