Chapter 349: The Southern Ming Emperor is Offered
The Fu family army was well-equipped, with light and improved crossbows, light and large shields, red tassel spears welded with iron pipes, and chain mail...
Everything you need!
Even the war horses are kept sleek and smooth!
In comparison, the equipment of the Southern Ming Army seemed very shabby.
Qiu Lishan had a sullen face and gave an order. Immediately someone came up with a loud speaker and started making announcements.
"When our army is charging, if you wish to surrender, you only need to raise your weapons above your head and kneel down to save your life."
"The Tianwu Dynasty treated prisoners well. As long as they surrendered, they would not be beaten or scolded. They would be given fields and land, and they would be well fed and clothed!"
When these words were spoken, the eyes of many Southern Ming soldiers lit up.
No beating or scolding?
Give fields and land?
Can you still have enough food and warm clothes?
The Southern Ming Emperor also led the army in person. He heard the loud speakers on the opposite side with his own ears and was almost furious!
He also shouted loudly: "Soldiers, listen to my orders! Enter the capital, drink wine and eat meat! Your wife and son will be ennobled! It's just around the corner!"
However, he didn't have a tweeter in his hand, and the momentum of his shouting was far inferior to that of the Fu family army on the opposite side!
Fortunately, many generals were indeed aiming for titles for their wives and children, and they shouted with a firm look: "We will obey your Majesty's orders!"
The words sound good, but when the two sides fight, the situation changes immediately.
The weapons and armor of the Southern Ming army were obviously inferior to those of the Fu family army. They had not eaten well before and had not been diligent in training.
Once they really fight, the winner will be obvious!
When many Southern Ming soldiers saw their companions being killed, they immediately knelt down, raised their weapons high and surrendered!
Naturally, the Fu family army stepped forward to confiscate their weapons and took the people to a special place.
The one-sided battle did not last long before the Southern Ming Emperor, seeing the situation was not good, called off his troops.
The Fu family army was not in a hurry to chase them, but instead let them camp in a valley dozens of miles away from Jeju City.
It happened to be the valley where the Tatar army hid last time.
After settling the soldiers, they counted the number of people and found that in just a short battle, the Southern Ming army had lost 30% of its soldiers...
Although the general deliberately said that they died in battle for the sake of sounding nice, in fact they all knew: the majority surrendered and only a small number died in battle.
For a time, the morale of the Southern Ming army was at its lowest point.
The morale of the soldiers was in turmoil, and many people were secretly regretting in their hearts: If they had known that the Fu family army was so brave and good at fighting, why did they run back?
Since we can’t win anyway, surrendering is better than dying, right?
If you surrender right after the war begins, you might get something good! ?
The next time a war breaks out, will I surrender or not?
Or, is there still a chance for me to surrender?
Emperor Nanming sat in his commander's tent, listening to the whitewashing reports from his subordinates, and fell into self-doubt for the Nth time.
He used to wonder why his father didn't like him.
Why can't I become the crown prince?
Later he thought: It was all bad luck!
Who made me not the eldest son?
This cannot be blamed on myself, I can only blame myself for being born into a bad family.
Fu Zhonghai was even happy that he had conquered the world.
Look, you can't protect this world without me...
How powerful can a butcher be?
It must be that my father has indulged in sensual pleasures too much in recent years, causing the army under him to become lax, allowing the Fu family army to take advantage of the opportunity.
But all the fantasies were cruelly shattered by Fu's army.
As soon as their own team met, they were beaten by the Fu family army and had no chance to fight back!
Faced with such a scene, Emperor Nanming even began to regret his plan.
He had already joined forces with the Tianlang Nation, lured half of the Fu family army over, and reduced the number of troops stationed in the capital as much as possible, but he still couldn't win...
If he had known this earlier, he would have been better off staying in a corner and being the Emperor of Southern Ming.
After all, in that one-third acre of land, I was still the most respected person, so Fu Zhonghai didn't have the nerve to come and hit me...
But now...what should I do?
Should we fight or not fight next?
He turned his gaze to the generals below.
The generals were all in panic, not knowing what to do.
"Who among you is willing to fight?"
The generals below looked at each other, and finally the general who was best at whitewashing the situation came out to fight.
"Your Majesty, I think that if we cannot unify the world for the time being, dividing and ruling is also a good idea."
This is what it means to seek peace and negotiation.
Emperor Nanming also had the same idea in his mind, and immediately followed up with the conversation: "Tell me about it?"
The general then said: After all, he is the orthodox of the previous dynasty, and he attacked this time because he was furious.
If Emperor Tianwu is willing to divide and rule with them, they will take the opportunity to withdraw their troops back to the Southern Ming Kingdom, and then prepare for war and other things after they are ready...
Everyone can say nice things, but everyone knows in their hearts: this time it collapsed at the first touch, if it happens again next time, can the result be better?
It's impossible.
The last chance is gone...
Emperor Nanming thought for a moment and said, "Then send someone to deliver the message..."
After receiving the letter from the Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Qiu Lishan did not dare to make a decision after reading it, so he sent it to the capital city via an express route of eight hundred miles.
The Crown Prince was the regent. When Fu Chenan saw the letter asking for peace, he sneered.
"Send the King of Nanming to the capital by tying himself up, and give the rest of the soldiers a chance. Those who perform well can stay in the Fu Family Army."
"For those who do not want to continue to serve in the army, we will give them land and fields, just like the people who came to the Southern Ming before. They can enjoy all the benefits of the people of Tianwu."
That is to say, children can go to private schools and learn to read while working part-time; if the family cannot afford to support the elderly over 70 years old, they can send them to an orphanage.
"Yes!" Lu Daban agreed and sent someone to convey the order.
The imperial edict was conveyed to the Jeju government office, and Qiu Lishan was delighted when he saw it.
"Go, use the loud speaker to shout the decree on the city wall for a whole day."
After only a short while of shouting, the soldiers brought the Southern Ming Emperor over in a shackles...
The Southern Ming Emperor couldn't understand: since he could forgive all the soldiers and give them land, why couldn't he forgive himself?
He felt very aggrieved, and shouted with veins throbbing: "I want to see the prince!"
"I want to talk to the prince in person..."
When the news reached the capital, the Southern Ming Emperor was already on his way to the capital.
Fu Chenan had no interest in Emperor Nanming. He put down the memorial and pushed a bowl of yogurt to Xiao Yingchun: "Let my father worry about this kind of thing."
All he had to do was put people in jail and keep them from getting killed—and go fishing while he was at it.
Now that the Nanming Emperor has fallen into Fu Chenan's hands, those ministers who had previously had close ties with the Nanming Emperor will definitely be panicked.
If we take this opportunity to bring in a few more people... it can be considered a purge of the court.
Xiao Yingchun felt very full and didn't want to eat.
Fu Chenan advised: "You are pregnant with twins now. Both children must need more nutrition. How can you not eat?"
Xiao Yingchun took a bite and found it delicious and appetizing...
She picked it up and ate it all in one gulp.
I’m full...I want to take a walk.
Fu Chenan immediately stood up again and accompanied her for a walk.
Xiao Yingchun pointed to the table piled with papers with some concern: "Don't you need to look at these?"
Fu Chenan didn't even turn his head: "I have read it carefully and approved all the important ones."
"The rest is just a bunch of fuss, just to show off in front of me."
"I have asked Lu Daban to circle the key points and show them to me in a list."
In a memorial of several thousand words, the flattering part occupies the first two-thirds!
Since looking at Xiao Yingchun's purchasing list every day, Fu Chenan has become accustomed to the format of Xiao Yingchun's list.
That kind of concise, clear and concise statement... saves a lot of time!
The prince has no interest in this kind of flowery nonsense.
"I have already told Lu Daban that from now on, the memorials submitted by ministers must be concise and to the point!"
“The basic format is based on time, place, people, cause, process, and result, with ideas, funding, reflection, and improvement as the basic format.”
This can save a lot of time.
Xiao Yingchun was stunned: Is it okay to let a prince learn the "6W2H" rule? !
She used to be a corporate slave, and this was the basis of her training.
When Xiao Yingchun thought about the future where the memorials from his ministers would turn into cold and ruthless data reports, he didn't know whether he should be happy for the Tianwu Dynasty or feel sad.
There is a feeling that the employees of a large group are responsible to the CEO.
