Sun Zhixie hurriedly put on his clothes, took his family out of the mansion, and was about to run into the mountains. Unexpectedly, the Mongols were too fast, and Sun Zhixie couldn't bear to leave his wealth, so it took half a day to clean up the fines and soft things. As a result, before he even left the mansion, he heard that the Zibo City Gate was blocked by the Mongols.

"How many defenders are there in our city? Can we defend Zibo?" Sun Zhixie asked the county magistrate.

The county magistrate smiled bitterly and said, "We can't defend it at all! There are only more than a hundred white soldiers in the city, and there are another five hundred strong people. There are three thousand Tartars. How can they defend the city?"

Sun Zhixie suddenly had a plan: "Hurry, all the men in the family shaved their hair, and welcome the King of Qing Dynasty!"

The county magistrate was furious and said, "I am an official appointed by the Ming Dynasty. In case of trouble in Zibo, I will die for my country! How can I surrender to Jiannu?"

The housekeeper also advised him hard: "Master, you can't surrender. I heard that if you surrender to Jiannu, we will become the Baoyi slaves of the Tartars! I heard that Jiannu is more cruel than the Mongol Yuan Tartars back then. Once we become Baoyi slaves, we will never be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives!"

Even Sun Zhixiu's two sons, Sun Poling and Sun Yanling, tried hard to persuade each other. The eldest son Sun Poling knelt on the ground and persuaded him: "Father, we cannot surrender. Uncle Gen is right. If we surrender to Jiannu, we will become Baoyi slaves! And I heard that surrender to Jiannu, we will have to shave our hair and change our clothes! If we keep Jiannu's braids, what kind of face will we have to meet our ancestors in a hundred years?"

Sun Yanling also knelt down and advised: "Brother is right! We cannot surrender, we would rather die for our country than surrender to Jiannu! Otherwise, we will have no face to face our ancestors."

"We will die if we don't surrender! I'm leaving such a big family business for you two rebellious sons! If you don't surrender, you will lose your head! Your head is almost gone, so why don't he care about his clothes and shaved his hair and change his clothes? Open the city gate quickly and welcome the King of Qing Dynasty!"

After hearing Sun Zhixie's fallacy, the county magistrate was furious: "Come on! Take Sun Zhixie down to me!"

"Protect the master quickly!" Although the housekeeper advised Sun Zhixie not to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he was a slave of the Sun family after all, and was loyal to Sun Zhixie. When he heard that the county magistrate wanted someone to take the master down, he shouted in a hurry.

The Sun family's servants rushed forward and fought with the yamen runners. A loyal slave suddenly stopped the county magistrate from behind while the two sides were fighting, and a sharp steel knife was placed on the county magistrate's neck: "You all the people who work in the office will listen! Put down your weapons quickly! If you don't put down your weapons, I will chop off your county magistrate!"

The yamen runners were about to put down their weapons, but they heard the county magistrate roaring: "Don't worry about me, kill Sun Zhixie! Come to the city to resist Jiannu!"

The servants hesitated and held weapons and looked at Sun Zhixi and his group. After all, their chief officer was restrained and he was worried, but they were all subdued by Sun Zhixi's servants.

Although Sun Poling and Sun Yanling were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, in that era when filial piety was greater than heaven, how could their son dare to disobey their father's orders? They had to call the orders and asked the servants to tie up the county magistrate and more than ten servants.

At this time, most of the officers and civil servants in the city were preparing to defend the city at the top of the city. There were only more than ten people around the county magistrate, and there was no idea about the changes in the city at the top of the city.

"Shave the hair of this dog official!" Sun Zhixie pointed at the county magistrate and shouted.

The county magistrate was subdued and could only watch the Sun family's servants take off their official hats and shaved almost all their hair, leaving only a small handful of hair on the back of their heads.

"Hahaha, Master County Master, you have shaved your hair now! Why don't you order to open the city gate quickly and welcome the king's army?" Sun Zhixie said with a smile.

"Sun Zhixie! I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!" The county magistrate roared. The servants let go of the county magistrate, but who knew that the county magistrate actually hit the pillar! His brain burst out immediately and he died of anger.

"I didn't expect that this county master is quite hard." Sun Zhixie said helplessly.

The county magistrate committed suicide and died for his country. The defenders in the city were pitiful. Sun Zhixie rushed to the city gate with his servants. A group of yamen runners who were stationed at the city gate could not resist it at all and were subdued by Sun Zhixie's servants.

"Open the city gate and welcome the king's army!" Sun Zhixie shouted.

Li Hong led three thousand Tumot Mongolian cavalry to the outside of Zichuan City. While he was still thinking about how to attack the city, he saw that the city gate was opened.

"Welcome to the King!" The leading guy who was wearing Hanfu but had a shiny forehead in front of him walked out of the city gate with a group of bare guys on the same forehead.

"Is it time to surrender?" Li Hong was stunned, and the agents of his personal guards in the army were also stunned. Unexpectedly, the war had not been fought, and Zichuan City actually opened the door to surrender. Originally, Li Hong had planned to lose several brothers at a loss, and it would inevitably hurt several defenders when siege the city. That was a helpless move. To achieve great things, someone must sacrifice, right? But since the people in the city opened the city to surrender, this could also avoid some unnecessary killings, so as not to accidentally hurt innocent people.

The leader walked up to Li Hong, knelt on the ground and shouted: "Sun Zhixi, a gentry in Zichuan, welcomes the Qing Dynasty's King!"

Li Hong was displeased when he heard the three words Sun Zhixie.

"Bold Sun Zhixie! Come and see our Tumot Khan Subud Batulu!" Tao Yushi beside Li Hong shouted.

"Caomin kowtows to the great sweat!" Sun Zhixie knelt in Li Hong's footsteps and kowtowed repeatedly, "Caomin is willing to lead 30,000 people in Zibo to surrender to the Qing Dynasty."

"Where is your county magistrate?" Li Hong asked.

Tao Yushi shouted: "Sun Zhixie! Our Khan asked you something! Answer quickly! Where is your county magistrate?"

Sun Zhixie said with a sad face: "Return to the Great Khan, the county magistrate is stubborn and refuses to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He just hit the wall and committed suicide!"

Li Hong nodded: "Loyal ministers do not serve the second masters. The county magistrate is really a loyal and righteous man. We Mongolians respect the loyal and righteous man the most! Come and buried the Zibo County Magistrate!"

After saying that, Li Hong looked at Sun Zhixie: "Sun Jinshi, you were also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, why didn't you know how to repay kindness and lead people to surrender to us?"

Sun Zhixie replied: "Returning to the Great Khan, although Caomin was originally a minister of the Ming Dynasty, he had harmed loyalty since Chongzhen's son ascended the throne. Eunuch Wei was loyal to the court, but he was harmed by Chongzhen's son! Now Donglin's treacherous slander, Caomin had no choice but to resign and return to his hometown. Since the tyrant king of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne and treacherous ministers were in power, the court would be unfaithful!"

Li Hong sneered: "You are unfaithful and unrighteous people, I am already very tolerant of not cutting off your head! Do you still want to have a high official and generous salary in the Qing Dynasty? Come on! Bet this unfaithful and unrighteous person!"

"Khan, killing prisoners is not bad." A Mongolian man next to him persuaded.

Another Tumot Mongol also advised: "Prince Yuetuo has already blamed Da Khan for killing Yan Sheng Gong, so it is better not to kill this person."

"Yes, the emperor said, we should try our best to win over the Han people. If the Han people have surrendered and killed them again, wouldn't we force the Han people to fight against our Qing Dynasty? Those who surrender will not be killed."

"The emperor also has an order, and the surrender will be severely punished."

In order to win over the Han people, Huang Taiji made strict regulations on the Mongols who followed the Qing army to invade. If they killed the surrendered Han people, the title would be removed at the least, and the execution would be executed at the worst! This was not because Huang Taiji was very kind, but because he knew very well that to seize the world, he needed the support of a group of traitors. If he left the traitors, how could he rule the Central Plains with a population of less than 300,000 in Manchuria? For surrendered Han people, only those who violated military discipline and were unable to fight effectively could be killed. Generally, they were mainly about winning over.

"Ben Khan just asked someone to take him down, but he didn't say he wanted to kill him." Li Hong said.
