In just a blink of an eye, a Ning general died unexpectedly, and the surrounding generals did not even have a chance to stop him.
Looking at the body broken into two parts on the ground, people's faces became uglier than the other, and many people's fists were clenched.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said sternly: "Generals, you have only two choices now. One, surrender to Da Feng. Two, you have seen the result. Where to go? Whether you want to be a loyal minister or a traitor, you can choose for yourself!"
What he said was tantamount to giving these Ning generals no choice at all. No one is not afraid of death. If death is meaningful, there may be people who dare to try, but now, even if they die, they will have to bear the responsibility of being disrespectful to the emperor.
How can people be willing to make sacrifices in vain when they are stigmatized for being disloyal?
This is the additional effect derived from Tang Yin's acceptance of the emperor into the Feng Kingdom. No matter what he does, no matter how cruel or shameful his methods are, he will always stand on the highest point of morality and can act openly.
He said that he was under the orders of the Emperor, and behind him, he would always have the golden name of the Emperor as his backer.
The Ning generals were breathing heavily, and their hearts were clenched together. People looked at each other, and even if they didn't speak, they only communicated with their eyes, and they all reached a consensus. People were silent for a while, and then they all kneeled down in unison.
Kneeling on the ground, they all raised their hands and said: "General, I am willing to return to the Feng Kingdom, serve as the emperor, and do the hard work of dogs and horses for the king!"
"Okay!" When Tang Yin heard this, he was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. He was really afraid that these generals would rather die than surrender. If they were all killed, then the more than 100,000 Ningguo Central Army in Liangzhou City would be nothing.
Big troubles may arise out of control at any time, causing major hidden dangers to one's own side.
Tang Yin stood up excitedly and said word by word: "Since all generals have surrendered to Dafeng, they will become brothers in the future. In our country of Feng, we never recognize the high or low of birth, only the strength or weakness of personal abilities.
As long as the generals have strength, I will ensure that you will prosper in the army, otherwise, you will only be eliminated. I hope that you can do your best and not become the one who is eliminated."
Since Tang Yin became the King of Feng, the powerful people in the Feng Kingdom have existed in name only. Promotions are only based on merit and political achievements. This is the only thing to be thankful for for the surrendered Ning generals. Of course, will Tang Yin reuse these Ning people?
It is also an unknown quantity.
The next two days were extremely busy for Tang Yin.
First, the resistance forces in Liangzhou City must be completely wiped out, and secondly, the eight northern counties of Ning State must be recruited.
It is not easy to wipe out the resistance forces in Liangzhou City. Liangzhou is too big. As long as the resisters hide and find them, it is like finding a needle in a haystack. And for most Ning people, these resistance forces are all Ningguo.
He was a hero, and the people protected him in every possible way, and it was extremely difficult to eliminate him.
It is relatively easy to recruit the eight northern counties of Ning State. According to the original agreement between Tang Yin and Shao Fang, after Ning was destroyed, the eight northern counties of Ning State returned to Feng and the eight southern counties to Mo. Among the eight northern counties, Hexi County, Xiaoling
County and Yunkou County have been captured by the Feng Army one after another, and their recovery is not a problem. However, the other five counties have never been attacked by the Feng Army. Fortunately, there are not many local troops left in each county. Tang Yin assigned the Sky Eagle Army and Xin
The army went to recruit surrender, and the momentum was overwhelming along the way. Every county they passed surrendered one after another, expressing their submission to Shunfeng Kingdom.
Things were progressing smoothly, and Tang Yin also began to plan to return to his country to resist the four-nation coalition's crusade against Feng Country.
When attacking Ningguo, Feng's army marched westward, westward, and westward again, fighting all the way. It is not an easy task to evacuate now. There are too many things to deal with.
Tang Yin first canonized Cai Song as the general inspector of the western border of Feng Kingdom. The western border of Feng Kingdom here refers to the eight counties of Ningbei. Now, the eight counties of Ningbei are nominally the territory of Feng Kingdom and are located in the west of Feng Kingdom. Therefore,
In addition, Tang Yin also assigned a deputy chief inspector to Cai Song, this person was Zhan Peng. Tang Yin's intention was also very obvious, which was to let Zhan Peng supervise Cai Song.
In addition, Tang Yin also sent a message to Yancheng, urgently transferring Zhang Zhe to Liangzhou to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the situation in the eight counties of Ningbei.
Tang Yin reorganized Ningguo's Central Army. He originally planned to incorporate these troops into the new army, but the new army's strength was close to 100,000, and the Ningguo Central Army had 150,000. The two armies together were nearly two
There are 150,000 people, which is far beyond the army establishment.
After careful consideration, Tang Yin decided to establish a new army number, called the Western Border Army. From top to bottom, it was composed of the Ningguo Central Army. Different from the new army, the commander of the Western Border Army was also from Ning. Tang Yin just sent
Wei Xuan served as deputy commander.
The commander-in-chief of the Western Border Army is named Zuo Shuang, a middle-aged general in his early forties. This man came from a humble background and gradually rose from the lowest level of soldiers to the rank of general of the Ning Army. During the Battle of Hedong between Feng and Ning, he
He also made several great achievements. The reason why Tang Yin reused him was not because he was loyal to Feng State, but because of his personal ability.
In Tang Yin's view, the New Army, a cannon fodder corps that is unlikely to become a great weapon, is enough for his side. There is no need to add another one. He hopes that the Western Border Army can really become a combat-effective corps, then the position of commander will become extremely important.
This crucial position had to be filled by someone who knew Ning Jun, was familiar with Ning Jun and had the strength. He made a selection and discussed it with Qiu Zhen again and again before deciding to use Zuo Shuang.
Before returning to China, Tang Yin left Ziying's Sky Eagle Army in Ning. First, it could suppress the rebel forces of the Ning people. Second, he had a deeper consideration. If necessary, the Sky Eagle Army could
Heading south from Ningdi, as a surprise force, they cooperated with Fengguo's battlefield to attack the four-nation coalition forces.
Leaving behind the Sky Eagle Army, Tang Yin took away the Western Border Army. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of the Ningguo Central Army is not weak, especially in terms of archery, it is unparalleled in the world, and is extremely suitable for defense. Tang Yin wants to resist the four-nation coalition.
, this army of 150,000 people is needed.
These things are easy to say, but not easy to do. Every decision requires Tang Yin to think carefully. One mistake may lead to unimaginable consequences. In the past few days, he has not slept more than two hours a day.
After an hour, he looked a lot thinner. He felt that dealing with post-war affairs was more tiring than fighting.
However, there is also good news coming these days.
First, Mo Country did not participate in the alliance to conquer Feng Country.
The reason why Shao Fang was able to withstand the pressure of the four major powers and resist the public opinion internally was that Lu She, the envoy from Feng State who was sent to Mo State, was indispensable.
When Lu She arrived in Zhenjiang, envoys from Sichuan and Zhenjiang also arrived in Zhenjiang. Shao Fang was the seer of Lu She.
In fact, Lu She's eloquence was not good and he stuttered when he spoke, but he was very insightful. After meeting with Shao Fang, he directly made it clear to Shao Fang that once Mo Guo participated in the war against the wind, no matter what the outcome,
There is no benefit to Mo Country.
After the defeat of Feng failed, the four kingdoms of Sichuan, Zhen, An, and Huan would have just slapped their butts and left at worst, but Mo State could not leave. Mo State and Feng State were close neighbors, and their hatred was forged. There would be endless disputes in the future, and there would be war between the two countries.
Continuously.
If the attack on Feng is successful, and the five kingdoms of Sichuan, Zhen, An, Huan, and Mo divide the Feng Kingdom, the Mo Kingdom will be the unlucky one in the end.
Sichuan, Zhen, An, Huan and Feng are not bordering each other, and are separated by Mo State. It is extremely difficult for the four countries to govern Feng Land. It can even be said to be impossible. By then, the four countries will definitely no longer be able to tolerate the existence of Mo State. After the destruction of Feng, there will be destruction.
Mo, when the time comes, Mo will be isolated and helpless, how can it withstand the four-nation coalition?
Because of his personal relationship with Tang Yin, Shao Fang was originally inclined towards the Feng Kingdom. Now after listening to Lu She's analysis, he believed that he could not help Sichuan and Zhen defeat Feng. However, the ministers of the Mo Kingdom did not think so and felt that
These are all Lu She's baseless speculations, or his scaremongering, with no basis for evidence.
Lu She couldn't defeat the ministers of Mo State. He made a bet with everyone. When Shao Fang received the envoy from Sichuan and Zhen, he could ask him how to divide the Feng land after the wind was destroyed. If the five countries were divided equally, Sichuan, Zhen, An,
How will the Huan Si Kingdom govern Fengdi? He asserted that in order to win over Mo, Sichuan and Zhen would promise to give up the entire territory of Feng to Mo, and they would only welcome the emperor back to Beijing. If the other party is so generous, he must have ulterior motives.
The purpose is to win over Mo Country first and then destroy Mo Country.
When all the ministers heard this, they all sneered. How could Envoy Sichuan Zhen make such a ridiculous promise? If this was true, it could indeed be considered that the other party had ulterior motives. However, in the eyes of everyone, that was impossible. Envoy Sichuan Zhen would never
He will promise to surrender the entire territory of Feng Country to Mo Country.
It turns out they were all wrong.
When Shao Fang met the two kingdoms of Sichuan and Zhen, he followed Lu She's words and asked how to divide the Feng land after the wind was extinguished.
The envoys from the two countries gave a simple answer without even thinking about it, and it was almost exactly the same as Lu She's speculation. The envoys from the two countries said that the Four Kingdoms were not bordering the Feng Country, so after the wind was destroyed, they were willing to give up the Feng Land to the neighboring Mo Country.
, they only need to take the emperor back to Beijing.
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present were dumbfounded, and the entire court fell silent.
This made the Sichuan Zhen envoy stunned. He didn't understand why the monarch of Mo State and his ministers didn't even smile at such a generous offer. Instead, they looked horrified.
Shao Fang sighed softly and looked around at the ministers on the left and right. His eyes were undoubtedly saying: How is it? Now you should believe Lu She's words, right?
The ministers of Mo State all understood what Shao Fang meant, and they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Shao Fang didn't say anything more in front of envoy Sichuan Zhen. He just said that he still needed to think about it again and asked the two to return home first.
After driving away the envoys from the two countries, Shao Fang immediately summoned Lu She again.
After meeting Lu She again, Shao Fang made it clear that Mo State would never send troops to attack Feng and was willing to continue its alliance with Feng State.
At this time, the ministers of Mo State began to stand up and object again. If Mo State did not send troops to attack Feng, Mo State would not be at odds with the four kingdoms of Sichuan, Zhen, An, and Huan. But if it sent troops to help Feng State resist the four-nation coalition, then Mo State would
