It was absolutely impossible to defend the capital.
He has already made preparations for tomorrow, sending Emperor Zhu Qizhen to the front lines to persuade the people in the capital to surrender and open the city gates.
The emperor personally persuaded his ministers to surrender on the battlefield.
I have searched through all the history books and never seen anything like it in all the ages.
Even if we can't get them to open the city gates and surrender, we can still greatly shake the morale of the soldiers inside the city.
After all, the emperor surrendered and stood at the city gates, urging you to surrender.
