Three days passed quickly. All the 60,000 troops of Ningyuan Army rushed towards Jiangning Mansion. On that day, countless four-wheeled trucks suddenly appeared outside Yangzhou City, and then led an army of 3,000 robots from the guard group towards Jiangning Mansion.
Sail forward, closely followed by 30,000 cavalrymen led by Suning, all of which are Inner Mongolia Sanhe horses, which are rare in the Central Plains today. Finally, there are 30,000 Ningyuan army infantry led by Liao Wenjun and Han Chong.
At this time, Liao Wenjun was following the truck and the cavalry, eating exhaust fumes. The shock in his heart was beyond words. He looked blankly at Han Chong aside and asked, "General Han, how come our Ningyuan Army is so capable?"
"General Liao, it's just that King Ning doesn't want to directly destroy the weak Song Dynasty, otherwise he can directly occupy Bianjing in one round." The expressionless Han Chong explained disapprovingly. As an AI robot, the knowledge in the memory chip
The quantity is naturally very abundant.
"Ah? Weak Song?" Liao Wenjun always felt uncomfortable when he heard such a title.
"Isn't it? Being beaten up by Daliao and Xixia every day, even a small southwestern Dali can't stand up. They are really a shameful bunch of guys." The weak Song Dynasty was recognized by later generations as an example of a king who cannot fight externally and fights internally.
"..."
At this time, the Jiangning Mansion had already begun to take precautions, and was fully prepared to wait for the approaching Ningyuan Army. However, Murong Yanzhao, the chief general of the Song Army, looked into the distance with a sad face, "Master Zhizhou, listen.
Did you say that Gu Tingye has changed his name?"
"Yes! Changed his name to Suning and called himself King Ning of Daning Kingdom." Zhang Fangping, the magistrate of Jiangning Prefecture, briefly introduced the situation. He felt that the enemy opposite was still very crazy.
"Humph! A crown of glory." Thinking of the young man from Bianjing City who suddenly became the "Grasshead King", Murong Yanzhao said with disdain.
"General Murong, I heard that the Ningyuan Army has a powerful artillery. When the cannon is fired, the earth will collapse. This is how Liao Wenjun's 50,000-strong army was destroyed. There are also large iron ships that can float on the river. Jiangning Navy does not have any
Resistance ability." Seeing that the general on the side underestimated the enemy, Zhang Fangping quickly explained the specific situation.
"Oh? Artillery? Iron ship?" Murong Yanzhao then looked at Zhang Fangping in surprise.
Because it was squeezed and blockaded by the alliance of Daliao and Xixia, the Song Dynasty lost its natural land for raising horses. Naturally, it increased its efforts in the development of firearms. Therefore, Murong Yanzhao, a general of the Song Army, was not interested in firearms.
Strange, and he didn't think those useless things were of any use.
"Yes!"
"Master Zhang, how much do you know about Gu Ni's grandfather? You must know that Gu Ni was just a ridiculous government office in Bianjing. How did he suddenly obtain so many advanced firearms?" Then Murong Yanzhao suddenly asked the biggest question in his heart.
Doubtful, you must know that even Ningyuan Hou Gu Yan couldn't get such advanced firearms and large iron ships?
"General Murong, this point is also puzzling to me. Gu Ni's grandfather, Mr. Bai, is an ordinary salt merchant in Yangzhou. His name is just a Hou'an salt store. It is possible that he has sold salt overseas for a long time.
Taking the opportunity, we purchased these advanced firearms and large iron ships from overseas."
"Well, Mr. Zhang is right. It seems that we should capture Gu Ni alive, so that we can find out how to purchase firearms and large iron ships."
"General Murong, the Ningyuan Army on the opposite side is still very brave. The Jiangning Navy has been suppressed in the camp and dare not show up, so the general had better not be too careless and underestimate the enemy."
"Hey! If the earthen pot is not broken away from the well mouth, the general will inevitably die in battle. I have been mentally prepared since I joined the army."
"General Gaoyi." The governor of Jiangning Prefecture naturally complimented Murong Yanzhao, and then suddenly noticed the front of his eyes, and immediately howled loudly in shock, "General Murong, look what that is.
?”
However, at this time, Murong Yanzhao was already dumbfounded. In their eyes, countless moving iron lumps were slowly approaching, followed by cavalry all over the mountains and fields. When the 60,000-strong army completed their deployment under Jiangning City,
After the formation, Murong Yanzhao and Jiangning Zhizhou were completely in disarray.
"General Murong, how can we fight this?"
"..."
At this time, Murong Yanzhao and Jiangning Zhizhou saw a small iron lump coming to the gate of Jiangning City quickly, and then a Ningyuan soldier emerged from the iron lump. This Ningyuan soldier held a strange object in the shape of a large trumpet and shouted,
"Listen to the officials of the Puppet Song Dynasty in the city gate tower. I, Prince Ning, am merciful and do not want to do more killings. I urge you to open the city gate and surrender as soon as possible."
"How...general...should respond?"
"Come here! Bring me my bow." Murong Yanzhao bit the tip of his tongue hard, then stretched out his hand to ask for the bow from his own soldiers.
"Yes! General."
When Murong Yanzhao got his ten-stone heavy bow, he immediately fired an arrow at the little iron knot under the city. The little iron knot under the city was a modern Hummer chariot, and he was not afraid of such a strike from the ancients.
Of course, the robot driving the Hummer didn't want to be shot by an arrow, and the AI robot responsible for driving immediately "smartly" drove the car to avoid it.
"Pseudo-Song eagle dogs! You'd better wash your necks and wait for the heavenly punishment of my Ning Yuan army."
Seeing Xiao Tie Gupao quickly return to the Ningyuan Army formation, Zhang Fangping, the governor of Jiangning, turned pale and trembled all over, "General Murong, what should we do?"
The little iron kid stayed next to Suning for a while, and then the little iron kid returned to the city again, and the AI robot that just shouted put a cylindrical thing on its shoulder, pointed it at the wooden city gate of Jiangning Mansion and shouted
A cannonball was fired, and with an earth-shattering "bang" sound, the city gate of Jiangning Mansion suddenly turned into a pile of sawdust. Murong Yanzhao and Jiangning Zhizhou on the gate tower almost fell down.
.
"General Murong, surrender!" At this time, Zhang Fangping had lost the will to resist and looked at the stunned Murong Yanzhao standing aside with a wry smile to persuade him.
"Surrender?" Murong Yanzhao looked at Zhang Fangping with an expression of disbelief. This was the first time that this word appeared in his mind, and it magically took root and sprouted very quickly.
"General, these Ningyuan troops are heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals. It will not be shameful for us to surrender to them." Zhang Fangping knew that top generals such as Murong Yanzhao were still very arrogant, and he described them very cleverly as being beyond their capabilities.
"..."
Although the city gate of Jiangning Mansion had been blasted open by rockets, Suning did not immediately launch an attack in a hurry. Instead, he continued to wait there as steady as a mountain. Sure enough, soon the white flag of surrender was erected on the gate tower of Jiangning Mansion, and
Murong Yanzhao and all the officials from Jiangning Mansion walked out of the city gate with bare hands and knelt on both sides of the official road with their heads bowed. The infantry of Ningyuan Army quickly entered Jiangning Mansion and took control of this large southern city.
...
The original Jiangning Magistrate's Office has now become Suning's temporary Prince Ning's Mansion. Suning may work here for a long time in the future. After all, his plan is to first divide the river and rule with the Song Dynasty. After all, "the dragon and the tiger are in the same place.
"Jiangning Mansion is very suitable for being a business center, so it is naturally a good place to be Prince Ning's Mansion.
Seeing Murong Yanzhao and Zhang Fangping, the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture, who were kneeling down in front of him, Suning felt very proud and happy. When it comes to Murong Yanzhao, many people may not know him, and
He is the arch-enemy of Gu Tingye's prototype character Li Jilong. Li Jilong only started to emerge in the Song Dynasty after the death of Murong Yanzhao. However, Suning did not expect that Murong Yanzhao would magically appear. Only then did he realize that the "system" theory
This is what it means to be a converged world.
"Zhang Zhifu, are you willing to serve me, Daning?" Looking at Zhang Fangping, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, Suning was so surprised that he almost cried out.
"Ah? This..." According to Zhang Fangping's true intention, of course he is not willing to be a thief, but now he has no capital to refuse.
"Zhang Zhifu, you should have seen the strength of my Ningyuan Army. It is easy to break through Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, because I just want to rule across the river with the Song Dynasty, and then work together to destroy the Liao and Xixia.
Then the north is the Song Dynasty and the south is the Ning Dynasty."
"What? Draw a river to rule?" At this time, Zhang Fangping and Murong Yanzhao both looked at Suning in horror, and couldn't help but think of the big iron boats that cruised the Yangtze River next to Jiangning Mansion every day.
"Yes! Therefore, if you are loyal to my Ning Yuan Army, your future will be to worship the prime minister and become a marquis." Suning was very satisfied with the shock of the two people in front of him. Only a madman like Suning dared to think of "drawing rivers to rule".
"Your Highness Prince Ning, I am willing to fight to the death." At this time, Suning had not waited for Zhang Fangping to respond, but Murong Yanzhao beside him couldn't wait to kneel down and said.
"Murong Yanzhao, you have to think clearly. We used to be sworn enemies." Suning couldn't help but look at Murong Yanzhao in surprise. She didn't expect this former sworn enemy to be so courageous.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, as long as you don't mind the general's old age, the entire Murong clan will be your pawns." Now that he had chosen to surrender completely, Murong Yanzhao felt that there was no need to act coyly.
"Okay! When the king negotiates with Da Song, I will definitely bring your family over safely."
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie Ning."
"Zhang Fangping, what about you?" Suning then turned to look at Zhang Fangping again.
"Prince Ning, can you be kind to literati like the Song Dynasty?" At this time, Zhang Fangping suddenly looked at Suning and asked a confused question.
"Of course! Isn't this king thirsty for talents now?" Suning responded in a matter-of-fact tone, but Suning's "kind treatment" was a little different from that of Song Dynasty.
"Your Highness Prince Ning, I am willing to serve you."
"Haha, great! Civil servants and generals are my favorites. If you have suitable talents, just recommend them. I will definitely reuse them."
"Yes! Your Highness Prince Ning, we will contact our friends and subordinates right now."
"Well, you two, I will leave it to you to appease Jiangning Mansion and demote him."
"Yes! Your Majesty."
"Su Yi, take all of you to the Jinyiwei to complete the formalities." Suning then turned to look at Su Yi, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
"Yes! Your Majesty."
Next, under the leadership of Murong Yanzhao and Zhang Fangping, a group of surrendered officials and generals followed Su Yi and other royal guards in confusion, and went to a yamen that was unfamiliar to them, and then they all got on their butts.
It left an unforgettable imprint on Shanghe's body, which naturally dispelled their little mentality of being at both ends of the spectrum.
At this time, Suning stood on the city gate tower overlooking the entire Jiangning Mansion, while the craftsmen of Jiangning Mansion were repairing the breached city gate in an orderly manner. Next, he only needed to send his generals to divide their forces and march south.
I believe that we will soon be able to control the entire sacred land south of the Yangtze River.
...
After occupying Jiangning Mansion almost without bloodshed, the number of scholars who came to defect to Ningyuan's army suddenly increased. Even Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai, who were sticking their buttocks and drying salt in the Hou'an Salt Village in Yangzhou, were shocked. They were really
They didn't expect Suning's Ningyuan Army to be so brave, or maybe they didn't expect the Song Dynasty to be so weak.
"Father, Gu Tingye has actually succeeded?" Sheng Changbai looked at Sheng Hong with an expression of disbelief and sighed.
"Hey! This is really unexpected! Could it be that our Song Dynasty's military equipment is too weak?" At this time, Sheng Hong also showed a depressed look as if he was mourning for his concubine.
"Father, do we want to join the Ningyuan Army? You must know that we have some relationship with Gu Tingye." At this time, Sheng Changbai suddenly approached Sheng Hong and asked in a low voice that only the father and son could hear.
"Huh?" Of course Sheng Hong understood what his son Sheng Changbai meant. Sheng Hualan was working as a maid by Suning's side.
"But...what if..." Although Sheng Hong was very moved, he still hesitated.
"Father, is there any way out for our Sheng family? Can Hualan's matter really be airtight?" At this time, Sheng Changbai had already figured it out. When Ning Yuan's army took Sheng Hualan away from their Sheng family,
Their entire Sheng family just had no way out.
"this......"
"Father, the letter Hua Lan sent a few days ago said that Aunt Wei has given birth to a young son, Changsong, for you. Don't you want to go home as soon as possible to see brother Changsong?"
"I......"
"Also, my mother and Aunt Lin are still doing shoe embroidery in the Yangzhou workshop. How have they ever suffered like this?"
"..."
"Father, since our Sheng family has no retreat, we might as well follow Gu Tingye wholeheartedly. You must know that Wang Zhixin and Wang Zhizhou defected to the Ningyuan Army early in the morning."
"Changbai, have you really decided?" Sensing that Sheng Changbai's heart was towards Ning Yuanjun, Sheng Hong looked up at Sheng Changbai in astonishment and asked.
"Decided! Maybe Gu Tingye can really succeed. You must know that there is Liao in the north of the Song Dynasty, Xixia in the northwest is also showing its fierceness, and there is also Dali in the southwest who covets the land of the Song Dynasty. It is impossible to devote all the energy to it.
Aim at Ningyuan Army."
"Okay! Since you are not afraid at such a young age, then what do I, a seventh-grade official, have to be afraid of?"
"Haha, great! Father, then we will go to the workshop to pick up father and Aunt Lin to go home for reunion. I think my grandmother and mother have already missed us."
"Hey! I regret it so much! You know how powerful Gu Tingye's Ningyuan army is, why do we, father and son, have to suffer so much here again?"
"Father, only by enduring hardship can you become a master. From now on, great wealth will come to our Sheng family."
"Yes! I feel excited just thinking about it now."
At this time, seeing that even the most stubborn Sheng family father and son had decided to surrender, the Gu family who were forced to work hard were extremely depressed. Of course, they had also heard about the Ning Yuan army's another great victory. After all, every time
Ningyuan Army's great victory would be announced at the salt village. Naturally, they had already wanted to compromise with Suning. Unfortunately, the salt village supervisors who had received Suning's signal in advance did not bother to pay attention to them.
