Chen Huang means: surrender.

"Today, I realized that gold and silver are useless!" Chen Huang finished drinking pheasant and mushroom soup and pointed to the simple roadside. "There is the national treasury of Dayue and my imperial treasury. There is no less than tens of millions of gold and silver, and there is no treasure. But now, it is completely useless."

When Chen Huang entered the mountain, he not only searched for all the stored grain, but also took away the gold, silver and jewelry from the treasury and the imperial depot in the palace, as well as important books and classics.

But although there are many gold, silver and jewelry, they cannot be eaten as food or salt, which has become a burden.

In fact, even if you hunt in the forest, pick wild fruits, and eat insects, the small courts in the mountains can hold on for a while. At least two or three months, they can still hold on.

However, what's the benefit!

Because there is no food, the people's hearts have dispersed. It's just that why the Yuan army spies were so careless that they burned the last tens of thousands of stones of grain. If this batch of grain was there, the situation would be much better now.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yuan army had a large number of chieftains and traitors who were familiar with the jungle, and their tactics could not be solved. In this way, the court in the mountains would be over sooner or later, and it would be impossible to hide on the first day of the lunar month or fifteen. It would be better to surrender early than to surrender late.

Just looking at the fact that generals and officials fled and surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty every now and then, we understand what the ending would be if we waited for the court in the mountains.

Not to mention the others, it is the last imperial guard, which ran away thousands of people due to shortage of food. Not to mention the village army.

Even in the jungle, this battle cannot be fought.

Chen Huang stood up, looked at the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, and said sarcastically: "Chen Yiji has become a governor, and he is probably still waiting for Kublai Khan to sign him King Annan."

"It's really stupid. The Yuan court spent so much money, grain and horses, and invaded the south three times in the south. How could it still retain Dayue? It must be abolishing the country and setting up a province."

"It's ridiculous that Chen Yiji is still dreaming of the Lord of Dayue. This is good. Although he cannot protect the country of Dayue, he can protect the Chen family's ancestral temple and prevent the sacrifice from being cut off."

When the ministers heard Chen Huang say so many things in one breath, they all knew it.

"Your Highness, you and the Emperor have surrendered. You can at least save your life and wealth from the mountain with gold, silver and jewelry."

Emperor Chen Xing and the remaining civil and military ministers immediately knelt down together.

"Father, you can't surrender! Why is this?"

"Your Majesty, think twice, you can't surrender!"

"Your Majesty, I swear to live and perish with the Great Vietnamese, and I will never surrender!"

Although everyone knew that the end of their lives, surrendering to the Yuan Dynasty might be the only way out, but at first glance, Chen Huang decided to surrender, so he persuaded him to stop it as soon as possible.

In fact, this is just a gesture. The king surrendered, but the ministers did not advise him, which was inconsistent with the minister's etiquette.

"You don't need to say much, I have decided. I have assisted me for many years and shared my worries. Now I am still wandering with me, sleeping in the open air, and not protecting the whole day. I can't bear it. I have fulfilled my integrity, so let me do my best to you. It can be regarded as my reward for you." Chen Huang said with neither joy nor sadness.

"Father..."

"His Majesty……"

Chen Xing and the ministers couldn't help crying loudly, and were extremely sad.

Chen Huang's concubines were crying.

No one is stupid. It is obvious that although His Majesty is determined to let everyone surrender, he himself will not surrender, but will die for his country.

Especially those concubines, they were filled with fear in their crying, and they were afraid of burying them!

"Hanlin Attendance! Draft an order!"

"Your Majesty, my uncle, my uncle..."

"Why, you dare to resist the order? I will draw the order!"

"No!" Hanlin's attendant prepared his pen and ink with tears in his eyes.

Chen Huang closed his eyes and said, "The criminal minister, King Huang of Annan, bowed to the north to the emperor His Majesty: The criminal minister was ruthless, and he dared to act fiercely and acted stubbornly, and failed the emperor's benevolent heart. He had the way to forgive His Majesty. He worked hard to conquer the heavenly soldiers repeatedly to conquer the lives of the people. This is the crime of Chen Huang..."

"...My sins are unforgivable. Now I suddenly realize that I regret and feel guilty. It is not apologizing for myself, but I cannot apologize for my faults. However, my words are good. The crime of a small country is one person. I dare to ask His Majesty the Great Emperor to redeem the crimes of others. I will make a mistake for one person... With your majesty's kindness, even if I do not ask for the guilty ministers, I will forgive Yue ministers and treat Yue people well..."

Chen Huang said as he heard it, everyone was crying, and finally the crying was earth-shaking and vibrating the forest.

This memorial for Kublai Khan was written, Chen Huang stamped the seal of King Annan and handed it to Chen Sheng and said, "Remember, you also want to write a request for abdication. Now that things have come to this, you can only follow the example of Duke Yingguo and Duke Yingguo."

Chen Xing cried and took the apology, "Father, my son is willing to die with his father!"

"A crazy person, it is said that since ancient times, the only one who dies is difficult. This is a big mistake. What is the difficulty of death and what is fear? It is really difficult to stay for a useful body, live with shame and endure humiliation."

Chen Huang sighed.

Chen Xing's heart was as if he was shattered, but he just bowed his head and cried. The Great Yue was over, the Chen family's country was over, and his father's heart was as solid as a rock. What should we do in the future!

Chen Huang suddenly asked in a low voice: "Do you know who Emperor Wucheng is?"

Emperor Wucheng? Isn’t that Murong Chui? Chen Xing quickly reacted and whispered: “My son understands what his father means.”

The father asked him to imitate Murong Chui to serve Fu Jian's story.

"It's good that you know." Chen Huang patted his son's shoulder, "You are in your prime and your future is long. Only God knows what the world is doing in the future."

After Chen Huang finished speaking, he looked at the lush mountains and said in a bleak tone: "It is easy to see the country in the southern country when they are far away. Since it is difficult to meet again after they are far away, then I will not leave. The green mountains here are the place where I buried my bones. What a tomb, what a tomb."

"Your Majesty!" All the ministers were crying like rain, but no one could persuade them anymore.

Chen Huang looked at the palace concubines with pear blossoms and rain, and said with a slight : "I am lonely here, you guys, let me be with me for the ages."

When several concubines heard this, their eyes suddenly became dark and they were so scared that they fainted.

Three days later, on May 24th, Chen Huang took a bath and told the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then hanged himself on a camphor tree.

In addition to the several palace concubines who were buried with her, five ministers hanged themselves together and followed Chen Huang to die for their country.

…………

On May 29, 20th year of Zhiyuan, five days after Chen Huang committed suicide and died in his country, Chen Xing, who had handled the funeral, led dozens of civil and military ministers, as well as only more than 5,000 soldiers with a dirty face, to the outside of the mountain.

The Annan local officials who had surrendered to the Yuan army immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy. After learning that the former leader planned to leave the mountain to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty, he breathed a sigh of relief.

On June 2, Chen Xing and his party came to the ancient liquor city and drove a plain carriage and white horse symbolizing the etiquette of surrender, and with gold, silver and jewelry, to formally surrender to the Yuan court.

General Li Luo, the general of the Southern Expedition, and Chen Yiji, the governor of Annan, went out of the city to surrender after receiving the news.

Li Luo knew that Annan's ruler and ministers surrendered sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. It seems that Chen Huang is a sensible person.

From the standpoint of the monarch and minister of Annan, the situation deteriorates to this point. It is indeed better to reduce early than to reduce late. It is better to reduce early than to reduce early. If it is too late, it is hard to say. If it is caught and surrendered by the rebellious general, then the face will be greatly lost.

Chen Feng's king and ministers were filled with emotion when they saw the ancient licheng and sighed. Just two months ago, they were still the masters here. But now, they have occupied the magpie's nest and things have changed.

When Chen Yiji saw Chen Xing, he couldn't help but feel proud.

Big nephew, you father and son robbed the throne that belonged to me. What now is this? Your father committed suicide for fear of sin, and you became a prisoner.

It's really unpredictable.

Chen Feng, the king and his ministers, did not even look at Chen Yiji, who was so arrogant, but directly bowed to Li Luo.

"The criminal Chen Xing, apologizes to His Majesty the Emperor! Please report to the Holy Lord on your behalf! I, Annan, have surrendered from now on..."

Not long ago, Chen Xing, who was still the lord of six million Annan people, fell into the dust outside the city, and his body trembled slightly. He held high a seal symbolizing the authority of mankind and the book, with a respectful expression.

"The Emperor must know that you are sincere!" Li Luo said loudly, "Whether to be guilty of the crime is still to be punished by the Emperor. Before the decree is reached, you must wait for the crime and be detained temporarily. Can the lord have any objections?"

Chen Xing said: "I asked the general to report to the emperor. Chen Xing has no objection, just wait for the Holy Tribunal!"

After the unnutritional scene, Annan's monarch and ministers were temporarily placed under house arrest in the military camp, and five thousand soldiers were also disarmed. All the gold, silver and jewelry carried by Annan's monarch and ministers were confiscated by the Yuan army.

The official surrender of Chen Feng's emperor and his ministers means that the Yuan army finally won a great victory in the southern expedition.

Annan... is peaceful!

On that day, Li Luo wrote a memorial to the Yuan court to report the surrender of the monarch and ministers of Annan. He reported that Annan had been pacified, Chen Huang was dead, and Chen Sheng had surrendered.

Although Annan was pacified, the people of Annan still had their hearts. More than half of the southern expedition army suffered casualties. They begged the court to draw 50,000 troops from Huguang, Yunnan and other southern countries to guard Annan with more than 100,000 troops. Only after three or five years can there be no danger.

Second, I beg the court to send ministers to serve as the political affairs of Pingzhang, the province of Jiaozhou.

Third, he requested to change Zhan Po to Xiangzhou, establish Xiangzhou Province, and send ministers to serve as Pingzhang's political affairs. He also stationed 50,000 troops to guard the town.

Fourth, ask for instructions on whether to escort Annan’s monarch and ministers back to Dadu to offer prisoners.

fifth…

Li Luo's memorial can be said to be completely a proposal. Taking advantage of the victory of the Southern Expedition, he had a great opportunity to speak. He completely used the Yuan Ting's hands to lay the foundation.

The two countries were abolished in one fell swoop, the two provinces were established, and the Brahmanism of Champa was abolished, etc., which really led to the world, and the southern country was so important in one's words.

Being a general to Li Luo is actually an anomaly.

As Li Luo, who won the victory in the Southern Expedition, he was qualified to put forward these statements. As long as it was not outrageous, the Yuan court should be able to report it.

It was already June and all the spring rice was harvested.

Li Luo bluntly forced Annan to take away six million stones of grain in the name of rewarding soldiers and transporting military rations, and Li Luo personally received two million stones of grain.

The gold, silver and jewelry collected by Yue Kingdom were all divided by the Yuan army generals. Li Luo divided the gold and silver worth more than three million taels.

The Yuan army captured more than 100,000 slaves, and Li Luo divided more than 20,000 people.

As long as they were not dead, from generals to soldiers, everyone made money. Even the chieftains and barbarians also obtained gold, silver, food and women.

Everyone was very happy.

As for the comrades who died in battle, I'm sorry, I've long forgotten it.

After writing the memorial, Li Luo hid in the house alone to conquer Annan's gains.
