Chapter 456: A land of etiquette? Massacre the city!
The will of the ministers was completely unanimous, but as Lord Zheng, there was nothing he could do. Especially, the commander of the forbidden army, who was usually his confidant, was also fighting with others, making Lord Zheng tremble with anger.
Others would still have a chance of survival if they surrendered, but for Lord Zheng, the best outcome would be to be captured and taken back to the capital, where he would live under house arrest for the rest of his life. If he met a ruthless person, it would not be impossible to kill him directly.
But unfortunately, after everyone reached consensus, they realized that surrender was not that simple. Now the entire Imperial Guard team was retreating steadily. The person in charge could not be seen at all, and even if they wanted to surrender, they could not find a place.
In just such a short time, the entire army had been killed and retreated. By now, it had completely collapsed. The soldiers began to throw down their weapons and turned around and ran away. Even these princes and ministers were carried back by the defeated soldiers.
Run.
After a while, the palace appeared in everyone's sight again, but the originally open palace door was now tightly closed. Tian Boguang took Dingyi Guliang and met Yu Sheng and the five hundred special battles he brought.
The team members had a close look around the entire palace gate, completely cutting off the Imperial Guards' retreat route.
"Surrender, we surrender." Everyone was blocked outside the palace wall, and the team finally stopped. When these princes and ministers found the opportunity, they immediately shouted loudly. This shout was like an infectious disease, and it immediately resounded throughout the entire defeated army.
When Che got up, everyone knelt on the ground and asked to surrender. This time, the princes and ministers of the Dali Dynasty took the lead. I believe the Ming army will definitely accept it.
The killing stopped, the crowd separated into a road, and Wang Xuan stepped out. His already tall and burly body looked even more majestic, murderous, and arrogant against the background of the army.
Seeing Wang Xuan coming out of the crowd, the people from the Li Dynasty immediately understood that this was the person in charge, and immediately knelt down and shouted, "I, the Li Dynasty, have always been a vassal state of the Kingdom of Heaven. I don't know what crime I have committed, but I have caused this to happen."
The heavenly kingdom has sent its heavenly soldiers and generals here."
"The Heavenly Kingdom is a country of etiquette, and the people of our small country all respect it. If there is any offense, it will be corrected. I also ask for the mercy of the Lord."
"We plead guilty. Lord Zheng is here and can go to the capital with the army to plead guilty."
Master Zheng's mouth twitched, "Damn it, now I'm starting to sell things, but it's not bad to go to Beijing, at least I'll survive."
There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth. The messy countries around China would do this every time they lost a war. All they had to do was kneel down and ask for surrender, and be humble and do something small to save face. The victors of all ages were here.
Under the Confucian theory of sage kings, they will definitely accept it gladly, and they will also be given time to recuperate.
Of course, the biggest reason is that it is too remote. The reason why it is called a barbarian land is because it is too far and difficult to manage. Even if it is occupied, the effort will outweigh the gain after a long time, so I want to use the slope to gain a good reputation.
That’s all.
But to say that there is really no need or method to govern these places is nonsense.
Looking back from generation to generation, at the beginning of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the only territory they occupied was the Central Plains, which was Henan. The other places were the so-called barbarian lands. At that time, there was a feudal system. These barbarian lands were enfeoffed to some princes.
It was managed and developed by them. From generation to generation, the territory expanded step by step.
This kind of enfeoffment system is indeed conducive to development. After all, the land to be developed is one's own, so there is natural motivation. If the land to be developed is someone else's, one will not get any benefit at all, or only lose a reputation, then naturally it is another matter.
But the enfeoffment system also has its drawbacks. The biggest drawback is that once the Central Plains dynasty falls, the princes on the four sides will definitely rebel. Starting from the Xia, to the Shang, and to the Zhou Dynasty, the country was destroyed in this way. Therefore, the enfeoffment system later became
Being completely abandoned by the emperor, the so-called princes have become empty, and they will not have such a big fiefdom, nor will they have such great rights.
In fact, during the Ming Dynasty, there were very few rebellions in Yunnan, and it had the energy to fight Burma for decades. It was because the Duke of Guizhou, that is, Prince Mu's Mansion, was enfeoffed there that Yunnan completely became part of the Ming Dynasty.
.
But when it came to dealing with the Annan issue, Zhu Di did not dare to seal Zhang Fuyong from Annan, so it was natural for him to repeat the decision.
Anyway, for the dynasties of the past dynasties, they would rather endure the neighboring barbarians' cultivation business and continue to invade the border than enfeoff the land. Learning from the past, these founding heroes are all outstanding people, and the harm is many times greater than those of the barbarians. If the descendants of future generations make a slight mistake, they will
It is possible to be counterattacked.
These messy thoughts flashed through Wang Xuan's mind, and then he shook his head slightly and threw these things behind his mind. These are not things he needs to worry about now.
Seeing that Wang Xuan was slightly absent-minded just now, these Annan princes and ministers breathed a heavy sigh of relief and sneered in their hearts. These people in the Central Plains Dynasty are all arrogant fools. As long as they show their intention to surrender and flatter a few words
You can satisfy the other party, and you still dare to call yourself the Kingdom of Heaven. But you don’t know that these are just expedients. After a long time, this Annan will still be the Annan of us Annan people.
If they didn't occupy the Central Plains, where are the treasures of the world, where would they get their turn to show off their power? If we were allowed to occupy the Central Plains, we would definitely be able to build an even bigger empire!
After coming back to his senses, Wang Xuan looked at these long-talking Annan ministers with a sneer on his lips, "This is not the Ming Dynasty's army, and I am not the emperor, so!"
Wang Xuan suddenly swung the long knife in his hand, and a bright flash of lightning flashed across the night sky. The heads of the three Annan ministers closest to him flew up high, and their plasma spurted out one meter high. They continued to chatter until they died.
.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Three corpses fell to the ground, and plasma splashed all over the faces of other princes and ministers. The place suddenly became cold. Everyone looked at Wang Xuan in horror. They couldn't believe that this Ming general had killed so brazenly, couldn't he?
Do you know they have surrendered?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So, just go and die!" Wang Xuan's eyes swept across the audience coldly.
"We have already surrendered, how dare you kill someone!"
"Heavenly country, a country of etiquette, how dare you kill the ministers of the subordinate country, the emperor will not bypass you."
Looking at these frightened guys, Wang Xuan looked uncomfortable and just waved his hand, "Kill them all!"
The army behind them responded loudly, and the army rolled forward. Anyone who stood in front of the army, whether they were princes, nobles or unknown people, were all killed. From the beginning to the end, Lord Zheng didn't even have a chance to say a word, so he didn't know where he died.
The soldier has it.
The army did not stop, including the palace, including the puppet-like Emperor Li, who could not escape the fate of his body being dismembered, and the killings never stopped from the beginning.
To be a human being, you must keep your word. Wang Xuan said before coming here that if the entire Shenglong Mansion was to be wiped out, then it must be killed.
For three days in a row, the entire Shenglong Mansion was completely infected with blood. There was no piece of land without blood. More than 300,000 people were killed, and the bloody atmosphere reached the sky.
Before coming, Wang Xuan said that after killing all the Annan people, but leaving no Annan people in Annan, no one would rebel.
At first, the civil and military subordinates took this sentence as an exaggerated description. After all, the Central Plains Dynasty had never done such a thing since ancient times. Everyone thought that Wang Xuan was just expressing his determination to the rebels.
Until Wang Xuan ordered the massacre of the city, I still remember that day, when Wang Xuan gave the order, both civil and military groups were so frightened that they froze in place. Even the generals who never minded killing people were shocked.
Facing Wang Xuan's murderous look, no one dared to speak out if they objected, but everyone was silent for a while.
"What!? You want to resist!" The cold words blew over everyone like a cold wind, causing everyone to shiver.
"I obey," the generals leading the troops looked at each other, then simply stepped out to salute.
After all, there are 30,000 troops, and it is enough for one person to kill a dozen... It sounds easy, but it also took three days. After three days, when the army gathered again, the cold air emanating from the military formation
The evil spirit is very different from the past.
If we must make a comparison, the current 10,000 people can definitely win against the original 30,000 people. That kind of disregard for life has been engraved in the bones of every soldier.
Killing is no longer a difficult task. No matter what it is, if you do it more, your skills will naturally improve. Otherwise, you will become familiar with it!
In other words, after rising, these 30,000 soldiers have been upgraded from ordinary arms to special arms. Although they are only the entry-level of special arms and have not experienced real battle tempering, they are not ordinary arms either.
Comparable.
I believe that after the entire Annan is conquered, these 30,000 people will make further progress.
…
At this moment, Wang Xuan still led a large army and was not stationed in Shenglong Mansion. More than 300,000 people died, and the corpses were not disposed of yet. How could they live there? It was not because of fear, but mainly because of nausea.
"Report, the 10,000 troops in Nam Dinh City are still 40 miles away from Thang Long Palace."
Hurrying and hurrying, Liang Biyou still didn't arrive in three days, but for the last 40 miles, one day would be enough.
Wang Xuan didn't take this group of people to heart at all. He traveled 150 miles in three days. This was already a rush march. With the quality of Annan's soldiers, they must have been exhausted and weak at this moment. He only needed to send someone to give him a gentle push.
It can make them irrecoverable.
"Shi Kui, I'll give you five thousand men, ambush them halfway and kill them all."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shi Kui stepped out of the queue and saluted respectfully. This was to give him credit for his work, and all envious eyes were focused on him.
After Shi Kui left, Wang Xuan continued to ask: "Although the 50,000 people in Shenglong Mansion were wiped out in one fell swoop this time, there are still 100,000 troops scattered throughout the north of Nan'an. It would be a huge force if they all rushed towards Shenglong Mansion.
It's a disaster. It's certain that we can win the battle, but the losses will be relatively large."
