Chapter 633: Welcome to Master Wang
The fire burned Shenglong for three days.
Such a fire could not be extinguished at all. The continuous wooden buildings in the city were undoubtedly the most sharp weapons of the Ming army.
The horse materials and food used to defend the city have now been burned to ashes.
The entire Shenglong City still had thick smoke. Although the open flames were gone, a large amount of charcoal was still red, with rolling smoke and dust.
On the third day, a heavy rain came, and the heavy rain was black, because the air was covered with dust, and the black heavy rain fell to the ground, and the dragon rose to the hell on earth.
There were originally 200,000 people in the city, of which 100,000 were military horses. Now, the remaining ones are only seven or eight thousand. Most of them were not burned to death by the fire. They died peacefully because they inhaled too much smoke and suffocated.
There are broken walls everywhere, and corpses everywhere. Most of the surviving people are burned. Some people cough desperately because they inhale too much dust.
They looked at everything in front of them in a daze. This royal capital was like a can. The so-called sticking and solidifying the walls made them a turtle in the jar.
Those who survived are still scared, and the scene that night was really terrifying.
People found the Annan Emperor Li Han. Li Han was disheveled and his hair was not as good as the emperor. He was protected by several surviving ministers and hid in a dry well in the palace before he survived. When people pulled him out of the well, he was still trembling. The horror that was like a nightmare has been coiled in his heart.
The Annan people are actually not soft-boys. The Annan people have always had a tradition of martial arts and are relatively tough-minded.
But those who are brave enough to target are living enemies after all. Any brave person suddenly sees something falling from the sky, and you can't touch them at all. They can destroy everything about you in just one hour. The so-called bravery becomes ridiculous.
The same is true for Li Han. If the Ming army entered the city, he might be unwilling to give up. If he could escape by chance, he would definitely try his best to call on the troops of Annan provinces to restore the country and deal with the Ming army to the end.
But when faced with this fire, he was silent and trembling, and the last little courage had already turned into ashes.
He had only one thought, the Ming army could not defeat. These Ming army could appear from the sea, from the sky, and could turn all the strong cities into nothing. They could make 100,000 elite soldiers kill and kill them in a blink of an eye. They had exceeded his cognition.
In fact, if they think rationally, they will find the weakness of the flying ball. The flying ball moves very slowly in the sky and is only suitable for attacking fixed targets. The more soldiers gathered, the greater the disadvantages of the flying ball. The essence of the Annan people encountering such setbacks is that they foolishly choose to gather elite troops, defend according to the city, attempt to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and deal with the Ming army. If they are broken into pieces and hide in the mountains and ridges, the flying ball will be useless.
It’s just a pity that at this point, people can no longer think rationally.
Li Han curled up like a dog from a broken family, looking helpless.
To this day, the so-called Annan Kingdom is no different from jokes.
The Hanlin also survived. He had half of his fever and had burns on his face. He said sadly: "Your Majesty, my Annan ancestral temple has also encountered a fire. This is an irreconcilable grudge. Your Majesty should leave Shenglong immediately and run south, and find a way to Chameng, or other prefectures and counties to summon Yi soldiers and fight the Ming army to the end."
The other ministers were so scared that their faces turned green.
Still fighting?
They have lost their families and all their wealth. Their mansion has been burned to ashes and they have nothing left. Logically speaking, if they do not take revenge, they will be really inferior to pigs and dogs.
But more people only have fear in their eyes.
"The Ming army is invincible. At some point, those heavenly soldiers appeared again. Your Majesty, to this day, 100,000 elite soldiers are destroyed, and you must not continue to attack..."
"Yes, don't fight again..."
People howled and beat their hearts.
How can you resist this? This is seeking death.
Their psychological defense line has completely collapsed, and the deep hatred of blood and the country are now gone in front of this flying ball.
Li Han looked around in panic.
Someone came hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the people and horses of each battalion have been searched, and one out of ten soldiers has survived. More than 80,000 people died, countless people were killed and injured, and all the food and grass have been burned... Some scouts came, saying that it was... It was said that the Ming army had begun to move south and arrived in Shenglong soon."
“…”
Everyone shuddered.
Li Han began to cry: "I never thought that I would never have lost any mistakes in the succession of the great throne, but the foundation of my ancestors and ancestors was destroyed by my hands."
All the ministers cried.
Li Han said: "Now, the people are killed and injured very much. How can I drive the people to fight again for my own selfishness? My foundation. If this is the case, I am only afraid that the country will be barren for thousands of miles. I will be taught by my ancestors and protect the people. This is my duty. Now the Ming thief is coming in a turbulent way. I will die in vain, but what are the people? "
The ministers cried even harder, and people bent their chests and fell down, feeling sad.
Li Han said: "The only way to do this is to surrender the whole country and allow the Ming thieves to deal with it."
Li Han is not stupid.
When he reached this point, he still did not surrender. Are he waiting for him to be hung up by the Ming army and beheaded and made public?
If you want to survive, you must surrender quickly and take the initiative to surrender, and you will still be able to lose a peaceful man. Otherwise, you will be dead without a place to die.
Just want to surrender, how can you say you are afraid?
The people are originally just a basket. They ride on their heads, eat them, drink them, and sleep on their beautiful daughters. Once they are in danger of protection, they can push them forward to express their love for the people and cannot bear to suffer the consequences. Therefore, it is not that I am timid and afraid of things, but that the military and civilians are too fragile, and I want to protect them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
All the ministers cried.
But although I cried, I couldn't help it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Li Han was so stupid, if he said he was not sad, it was fake. Thinking that Annan’s foundation had been passed down to him for six generations, he had completely smashed it in his hands. He was also sad.
Li Han gritted his teeth: "The sect kings living in the city must be controlled and they must not escape."
"this……"
Li Han shed tears and said, "Now that we are determined to surrender to Ming, we will be the king and ministers, and the Ming people will be the slaughter. If we are in Ming camp, a sect king escapes and call on the people of all prefectures and counties to fight against the Ming army and revive Annan, the Ming army will inevitably vent our anger at that time. At that time, what should we do? We are afraid that in the end, the Ming people will kill us in order to vent their anger."
“…”
Your Majesty...he really cares about people.
This abacus is very detailed.
Since you are going to surrender, then you will be devoted and not have any accidents. As Li Han said, a royal family ran away to rise up, and the worst death was Li Han. It would be better to just break this thought and surrender obediently.
Thinking back to the time when Emperor Wen of the Ming Dynasty conquered Annan, such an accident occurred, but now, such an accident can no longer occur.
Everyone cried again.
What else can you do besides crying?
……………………
The mighty Ming army, led by Fang Jinglong, arrived at Shenglong, and Fang Jinglong's eyes became wet.
When Emperor Wen conquered Annan, almost all the sons of the ministers flocked into Annan. His father also stationed in Annan when he was young. They had sweated and bleeding here, and some had made great contributions.
But in the end, Emperor Wen passed away and the new king ascended the throne. Although Annan was still occupied by the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion was surging. The Ming army was disturbed by the rebels. Fang Jinglong's father was once shot in an arrow here, but fortunately, he survived.
After Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne, he issued an order for the Ming army to withdraw from Annan. At that time, the manifesto was passed to the Annan prefectures. The Ming army guards guarding the local area were both relieved, but at the same time, they were full of unwillingness.
Everyone knows that it is not a solution to continue to waste like this, and no one understands that the Ming Dynasty spent countless money and grain, and countless soldiers and horses entered here. They clearly won many battles and won, and they had already occupied Annan, and countless people had blood sprinkled here, in exchange for Annan's country to be established as a prefecture and county and included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. But in the end, everything went into nothing. The court at that time, although the court at that time had the considerations of the court at that time, it might be that it was meaningless to have voyages to the West. Occupying Annan and letting the fleet set out in Annan and go deep into the West, it would be of little significance. Since the court banned the sea, the long coastline of Annan became a huge burden.
It may also be that it is believed that such occupation has caused the Ming Dynasty to waste countless money and grains, which can be used in other places.
No matter what the reason is, the result of more than ten years of hard work, everything ended up in vain. The soldiers who had entered Annan under the will of Emperor Wen finally retreated in shame.
But now, like my father, I have also come here, and the Shenglong in front of me has almost become a dead city.
Fang Jinglong ordered to prepare for the siege.
But at this time, the gate of Shenglong City was open.
The trembling Li Han led the surviving ministers, naked with thorns on their backs, and the dusty Annan soldiers slowly came out with white banners.
Li Han, carrying a jingling, arrived at the city gate and bowed. The rest of the people bowed down. After more than half a month of conquest for Annan, Shenglong was defeated. King Annan Li Han wanted to surrender in the city. Unfortunately, this time, Li Han did not have the opportunity to offer a yellow book because that thing had been burned to ashes by the fire. Although there were some flaws in this begging for surrender, it seemed to be understandable.
