Chapter 1512: The Heart of Great Kindness
The envoy leaned over to Meng Chang'an and said sincerely: "Please believe us, please give me everything."
Meng Chang'an: "Ah?"
The messenger said: "The Lord of the Hall said that no matter how difficult or hard it is, he will complete this extremely difficult task, and I will do my best to help him."
Meng Chang'an's heart was fluctuating. He was really a little unacceptable for the first time when he encountered such an interesting situation.
The man Sang bowed and kept saying, asking you to believe me, and I don’t know if the grammar is different from Daning or what. He said twice in a row and asked you to give me the matter. This attitude made Meng Changan feel very...magical.
Meng Changan said with a reluctant look: "Okay, then I'll wait for your reply to me."
When the envoy saw Meng Chang'an agreeing, he felt relieved and quickly returned to the city.
Meng Changan had just written a letter to Chen Leng not long ago, telling Chen Leng Ying that Liu An was not good, so he was preparing to launch troops against Haiye County. However, the letter just came to Chen Leng's hands and Ying Tiao Liu An's attitude changed drastically.
Meng Changan actually knew very well that Yingzhang Liuan had no choice if she wanted to live.
He has been in Daning for many years and knows how terrifying the national strength of Daning is, how powerful the war soldiers of Daning are, and what the outcome of the confrontation is, so he actually has no hope for Takaihara to block Ning Jun.
The next morning, the envoy came again yesterday. His name was Teng Taiye, who was Teng Taisong's son. The father and son are now determined to surrender and have no other thoughts.
In fact, Meng Chang'an would not do anything to them. After Daning destroyed Sang in the future, these people will be useful and will be of great use.
After Daning conquered the Sang Kingdom by force and captured the entire territory, there will still be resistance in many places. This is inevitable. If Daning sends people directly to take over the governance of the people, it will definitely be more conflicted. People like Taisong, father and son are willing to surrender. Letting them continue to be officials in the future will help them quickly stabilize the mulberry land.
After seeing Meng Chang'an, Tengtaye immediately bent down and bowed, lowered his head and said, "After receiving the command of the general, we persuaded His Majesty last night, and His Majesty was finally convinced by us..."
He held a booklet on the ground with both hands and said humbly: "This is a document we drafted overnight. It is some of our conditions. If the general thinks something is unreasonable, you can add it."
"You still have the conditions?"
Meng Changan asked when he took the booklet.
"No, no, the general misunderstood."
Hotano Ren explained: "This is not the requirement we have made for the general, but the requirement we have put forward to ourselves on behalf of the general. We have listed it ourselves. The general looks like there are any incomplete things to add."
Meng Chang'an: "Ah? Ah... I understand."
He opened this note and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that these people were really serious in doing things. They were all talents, interesting talents. What’s even more interesting is that these note was written in the word Ning, and they were very serious in every stroke.
Many Ning people may not be able to write this beautiful word Ning, but they can't write it out anyway.
Article 1: After Daning's army defeated Takaihara, as the orthodox emperor of the Dasang Empire, the Eitaka Willianhui announced that the Sang Kingdom would not continue to exist and that the Sangdi would be classified as the territory of Daning.
Article 2: After the Ning army occupied Kyoto, His Majesty Yingzhao Liuan led all civil and military officials to welcome the army, opened the granary and national treasury, and presented all the materials, funds and silver to the Ning army.
Article 3: Because the Ning army was fighting for His Majesty of the Dasang Empire, of course, they had to pay Daning a military expense, which was paid out from Takaihara's property.
If Takaihara's property is not enough, he will make it up from his subordinates.
Article 4: After His Majesty Daning accepted the mulberry land and was appointed as Daning, Yingtiao Liu'an announced his abdication. He asked His Majesty Daning to approve him to return to Babu Lane, Chang'an City to live, because he became used to living there and had feelings.
Article 5: The general Meng Chang'an was formally invited to lead the Dongjiang sword troops into Haiye County. The troops in the city would hand over the city defense unconditionally. If necessary, they would hand over the weapons.
Wait and wait...
Meng Changan looked at it one by one, and laughed when he saw the fourth one.
Yingzhai Liuan's desire to survive...
Thieves are strong.
In Article 4, Yingzhao Liuan asked His Majesty Daning to allow him to return to Babu Lane, Chang'an to live in. He spoke sincerely and repeatedly expressed his nostalgia for the small courtyard, flowers, plants and birds on the walls.
So Meng Changan had to accept these conditions reluctantly again and promised that they would lead the Dongjiang sword troops into Haiye County City.
He did not fully believe in Yingzhao Liuan, so the military order he received when the army entered the city was to attack immediately if something was wrong.
However, when Meng Chang'an arrived at the gate of the city, he found that Taisong and his son were really... Too cooperative, he brought the civil and military officials in the city to greet Meng Chang'an at the gate. All the troops in the city had been ordered to hand over the weapons to the warehouse, and more than 20,000 people gathered in the Daying Schoolyard in the city to wait for Meng Chang'an's inspection.
It was the first time Meng Changan encountered an enemy who had arranged such a proper surrender. He had never experienced it before, and he was really uncomfortable.
Not only did the Taisong family feel that there was no problem with Daning’s surrender, but even the generals and officials under his command felt that there was no problem. What’s even more amazing is that the people welcomed each other...
After entering the city, Meng Chang'an knew what was going on... It turned out that the gentleman who was invited by Hall Taisong for his son Hall Taiye was actually from Ning.
An old man from Lianshan Road has been in Sang Kingdom for 16 or 7 years. In recent years, he has given him all his best gifts to Taiye. Taiye has developed a strong admiration and yearning for Daning since he was a child.
It was also during this period that the county magistrate's Taisong was unknowingly affected. His character Ning was written very well and his words were also good, but his accent was a little strange.
And Taiye is more like a Ningren, even if he speaks, he also has accent from the other side of Lanshan Road.
It was at this moment that Yingzhang Liuan suddenly realized why he wrote letters to many of his father's old subordinates after returning to Sang Kingdom, but the only one who was too chanting and so enthusiastic in requesting him to come to Haiye County must have been taught by the old man later.
If Meng Chang'an hadn't entered the city, he wouldn't even know that there was such an old man there.
That night, a grand dinner was held at the home of Taisong, which was held in Taisong. Taisong represented Yingzhang Liuan to host Meng Chang'an. It is said that Yingzhang Liuan felt uncomfortable and did not come anymore. I guess he thought that Meng Chang'an was not an outsider, he was an outsider.
This old man from Tangshan County, Lianshan Road, Daning, whose surname is Chen, is named Chen Fusheng. He stole the restless life of half a day, which is also the most important thing in Fusheng.
After dinner, the old gentleman and Meng Chang'an walked casually in the garden of Taisong's house.
"When did sir come?"
Meng Chang'an asked.
"Some years have passed. At that time, a monk who came to Daning from Sang Kingdom to study, went to Daning after a lot of hardships. He admired the prosperity and beauty of Chang'an and was fascinated by his heart. However, when he walked to Tangshan County, Lianshan Road, he was seriously ill because he was not accustomed to the local conditions."
The old man said as he walked, "I am the only one in the countryside."
He knew some language from the Sang people, so the fellow villagers asked me to see what was going on. I invited a doctor for the monk, but he was exhausted and could not save him..."
The old man said, "Before the death of the monk, the monk told me that he could come to Daning, was that the temple where he was located, who had paid all his property to help him. He only thought that he could bring back the Zen method from Daning when he went back, but they didn't know that Daning did not believe in Zen."
"Before he died, he told me...Sir, I spent all the money I had accumulated in the temple before I arrived in Daning. The people in the temple were waiting for me to go back and tell them what Daning looked like and what Chang'an looked like."
The old man paused for a moment, and his mood seemed a little complicated.
"The monk begged me if I could go back for him, and told his fellow disciples that he had tried his best, but he couldn't go back, so he apologized for him, and wanted me to tell him what Chang'an looked like for him."
The old man looked at Meng Chang'an and said with a complicated look: "He died of illness later and the village was buried with him. I discussed it with the villagers. Everyone said that this was a matter of spreading the Daning culture and a major event, so he asked the county magistrate, and the county magistrate also thought it was a good thing. One could promote the cultural etiquette of Daning, and the other could fulfill the monk's last wish."
"So, with the support of the county magistrate and the elders of the villagers, I arrived in Sang Kingdom and found the temple... It was so dilapidated. There was only one main house with weeds on the roof. The matching houses on both sides had collapsed. They had no money to repair them. At that time, Sang Kingdom was still in civil strife. Whoever had the money to offer incense would have had a hard time."
The old man continued: "When I arrived, I saw that they lived so hard, so I used the money I brought to repair the house for them. They asked me to stay and explain the culture of Daning. I was soft-hearted and stayed there, but it took more than ten years."
"In the past ten years, not only have the monks in the temple learned the word Ning, but they have also recited many poems and songs. After a long time, the people in the city also went to the temple to listen to me. As they were speaking, the people in the entire Haiye County city admired Daning very much."
The old man smiled proudly and said, "In the past ten years, there have been thousands of disciples from me who have been listening to my studies. The Sang Kingdom is unified and the Hall is in Haiye County. After hearing about me, he is very curious and comes to listen to me. After a while, he even handed the child to me..."
Meng Changan took a deep breath, stopped, and bowed to the old man: "Sir, this is a great kindness."
“No, no.”
The old man hurriedly supported Meng Chang'an: "I dare not accept such a great gift from the general. I am just a commoner. I have studied a lot, so I have not been tired of talking for more than ten years. Some people say that they like to listen and are willing to learn, so I will teach them more."
"General, I am entrusted by others to be loyal to others. Isn't this what we Ningren have always been? We will never agree to things that cannot be agreed to. Since we agree, we will definitely do it."
Meng Changan nodded: "The old man is right, Ningren is like this."
The old man smiled and said, "So after receiving the letter from Yingtiao Liuan in the Hall Taisong, he came to ask me what to do. I told the Hall Taisong that Daning is the most powerful in the world. If the war begins, the Sang Kingdom will inevitably be defeated. It is better to take this opportunity to let Yingtiao Liuan come. When he comes, he will have the opportunity to contact the people of Daning. If he comes, he can protect the lives of tens of thousands of people in Haiye County."
The old man stopped, took a step back, and saluted very seriously: "Now, please ask the general to accept my greeting, and ask the general to agree to the people."
Meng Chang'an hurriedly helped him: "Sir, please tell me."
"Since they all surrendered, the people of Haiye County will not resist the army, so don't hurt them."
Meng Changan nodded: "Don't worry, sir, I promised you."
