The prince of the Ming Dynasty clearly has no intention of negotiating peace with us! Prime Minister, how is your contact with Wang Siliang?"
Moore Hong asked hurriedly.
Fu Dekai said in a deep voice: "Reporting to your majesty, Wang Siliang's 50,000 men were also taken away by that dog prince, so he has no soldiers and horses in his hands now!"
"Now, the only thing we can hope for is that the soldiers of Ava will come to help us. As long as we can gather 150,000 people, we will be able to fight!"
"To gather 150,000 people! This requires the country of Ava to send 100,000 people. Will they be willing to do this?"
Moore Hong said solemnly.
Fu Dekai's face was extremely gloomy, and he said: "Your Majesty, we are not discussing the issue of whether to give up the Ava Kingdom at this time, but this is the only way we have left!"
"Your Majesty! If we surrender now and cede Annan's territory, perhaps we can still retain a corner of the territory to lay the foundation for a comeback in the future!"
At this time, an official suggested.
No matter which dynasty it is, there will always be people like this who only have their own interests in mind.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the prince of the Ming Dynasty wants money and our territory. Let's just cede one-third and two-thirds to him. I don't believe he's not satisfied yet!"
"One-third of the territory is enough to support 50,000 soldiers. When we recharge our batteries and the Ming Dynasty's national power weakens again, we can take the initiative to take back the lost territory!"
"Your Majesty! This is a temporary measure! The fact that no one from Ava has shown up yet means that they will not send troops to help us!"
The ministers gave advice one after another.
Moore's red face was as gloomy as water. Their Annan Kingdom's territory itself was not vast, and it was mostly jungles and swamps. If it hadn't been winter, it would have been very difficult for them to march.
In such a terrain, it is difficult to raise too many people. If we lose two-thirds, it will be the end of our lives!
"My dear friends, is there no other way?"
Moore Hong asked.
"Your Majesty! These people are completely deceiving the public with their lies! As long as we in Annan Kingdom work together, we will definitely be able to survive this crisis. Who is Lin Fan?"
Fu Dekai said coldly.
"Prime Minister! You'd better shut up! I listened to your slander, and that's why I'm here today. My dear friends, please quickly think of a way to retain more of the territory of our Annan Kingdom!"
Moore Hong said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, now it's not a question of how much we can keep, but whether Lin Fan is willing to keep it for us."
An official said in a deep voice.
hiss!
When Moore Hong heard this, he sat down on the dragon chair. At this time, he was completely desperate.
"Report! Your Majesty, what's wrong! The reinforcements from the Ava Kingdom were intercepted and killed on the way. Of the 100,000 people, only 2,000 people managed to break through!"
What!
At this moment, Moor Hong was even more desperate. Lin Fan had actually sent an ambush to intercept Ava's reinforcements halfway. It was impossible for his fifty thousand people to withstand them!
"That's it! We won't resist anymore. Everyone will join me in opening the city gate and welcoming Lin Fan into the city!"
Moore Hong said solemnly.
There is no point in continuing to resist at this time. The only way is to open the door and surrender, and maybe get a chance to survive.
All the ministers lowered their heads, and that was all they could do now.
Lin Fan encountered almost no decent resistance along the way. The Annan soldiers were too scattered to form an effective offensive.
In just two days, we reached the imperial capital of Annan.
In ancient times, it was very unbelievable to conquer the imperial capital of a country, even a small foreign country, in two days.
"My lord, King Annan, has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty!"
Moore Hong led hundreds of officials to greet him.
Lin Fan looked at Moore Hong and Baiguan who were kneeling on the ground with contempt in their eyes. In the end, these people actually chose to surrender, which was really despising.
"Haha! Moore Hong, after all, you are also the lord of this country, but you actually acted so cruelly, opening the city gate and surrendering before even fighting!"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
Moor Hong was ridiculed by Lin Fan's cold words, her face kept changing, and she said solemnly: "This! Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to resist, but your army is so powerful! I don't dare!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is mighty! The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are mighty!"
All the officials said one after another.
Lin Fan said: "Haha! If I, the Crown Prince, had thoughts like yours back then, where would I be today?
How can we just open the city gate and let those slaves enter the city?"
"In all the battles between this prince and thieves and slaves, in which case did the weak defeat the strong?
After all, you bunch of losers are too weak! Come here! Drag them all out and chop them up!"
"All the nobles of Annan Kingdom will be killed without mercy! Kill the nine tribes!"
What!
This group of people were all dumbfounded. They opened the city gate and surrendered, but in exchange, they killed the Nine Tribes!
"Your Highness, you! You are being unreasonable!"
"Your Highness, we have opened the city gate and surrendered. You should forgive us. If nothing else works, why not demote us to common people?"
"Your Highness, we don't want to die!"
…
The crowd began to wail. However, these people were always a hidden danger while they were still alive. Lin Fan would not show any kindness to them. The soldiers were not idle for two days!
Dozens of large and small cities in Annan Kingdom have all been purged, and the population has been reduced by more than 50%. The remaining people will be much easier to manage.
"Your Highness, shall we head towards the Kingdom of Ava now?"
Xu Ming said in a deep voice.
"Of course we are going to Ava Country, but Annan Country must also make arrangements!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
He plans to station 50,000 Xuanjia troops here. After all, the geographical location here is special and a navy will be stationed here in the future!
Since we have these arrangements, we must ensure that everything is safe here. There are still hundreds of thousands of people in Annan Kingdom, and 20,000 Xuanjia troops are stationed here, which is enough to ensure the safety of this place.
"Here comes someone! Leave 20,000 Xuanjia troops to garrison here, and the rest will join me to meet Cheng Zixu!"
Lin Fan said.
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
All the soldiers shouted loudly.
At this time, the Ava Kingdom was already in panic. After all, 100,000 people were sent out and all were annihilated. At this time, they only had 30,000 defenders left. How could they fight against the Ming Dynasty?
After discussions among a group of officials, they chose to retreat to the Mughals, where there was endless grassland and a vast territory. They could choose a place at will to rebuild their homes.
Of course, only the soldiers and nobles can be taken away, while the civilians can only be left behind.
