On the first day of the first month of June, King Yan ordered Wu Yong to gather 200 civilian ships from Gaoyou, Tongzhou, and Taizhou in Guazhou, and ordered the internal officials to command Huaju as an outpost and enter Puzikou.

Puzikou and the capital across the river opposite, the general Sheng Yong in Puzikou to meet the Yan army, Gaozi Port on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Jiangbei Guazhou crossing. King Yan's troops were concentrated in Guazhou, while Sheng Yong was waiting for the enemy in Gaozigang. The officers and troops were heavily fortified here, and the Yan soldiers met fierce resistance.

The artillery fire was dazzling, and the river was full of the sound of artillery fire. Huge pieces of iron came and went overhead, cracking and falling down one after another. The ship's shells cast a blue-gray glow in all directions. A great river is shaking, sinking, and melting, and the infinite space is shaking like the tide of the Qiantang River. A new fire burst out of the river, spreading in all directions, and the more it burned, the more it burned. Spit out more tongues of fire, and gradually spread to both sides of the river.

With a bang, a small boat exploded, and a large part of the deck fell from the smoke-filled air, burning like a candle with a raging fire, and in a few circles, it swept into the air like a whirlwind, and the people on board tumbled and fell into the water.

"Your Highness," Li Yuan said, "we can't hold it anymore!"

The artillery fire was flying, the rows of flower bombs were like volcanoes without feet, and the black smoke and flames of the shell explosion swept the earth more and more tightly, and King Yan stood by the river, observing the battle situation motionlessly, and finally, Li Yuan heard King Yan's signal: "Send a signal flare, notify Shi Jinqing's fleet, drive over!"

Li Yuan was relieved, hurriedly waved the flag and fired a signal flare, and after a while, he saw the figure of thousands of huge ships appearing behind the Southern Army.

"Back, back—" The southern army turned back one after another, and couldn't help but be frightened when they saw such a huge ship that suddenly appeared, and these ships were actually playing the banner of the Yan army.

"Kill!" Gao Xu jumped on the ship of the Southern Army and stabbed to death two of the Southern Army who were caught off guard: "Wait for the quick surrender! King Yan said, surrender and don't kill!"

Chen Xuan, the governor of the capital, rushed over, grabbed a soldier and said, "You are the governor of Shengdu!"

"The governor is on that ship," said the man, pointing to a ship in front of him, "and kill the enemy!"

As soon as Chen Xuan let go of his hand, he threw the man down and scolded: "Kill a fart enemy! The Yan soldiers have crossed the river in a big way, and the general trend has been achieved, can you still stop it! If you want not to die, you should quickly surrender with me and obey the heavens, otherwise you will be killed by nothing!"

Chen Xuan was so agitated that all the sergeants behind him looked at each other, slowly put down the swords in their hands, and really followed him to the Yan army.

"Chen Xuan has surrendered! Chen Xuan, the commander of the defense of the river, has surrendered to King Yan!" Gao Xu ordered the sergeant to shout: "Surrender as soon as possible to avoid being slashed!"

Sheng Yong's official ship had just been hit by a cannonball sent by the Yan army, and his own soldiers escorted him to escape to another ship, and before he could catch a breath, he heard the Yan army cheering and moving, and when he heard it, he actually said that Chen Xuan had surrendered! Sheng Yong was furious and slashed on the deck with a knife: "Chen Xuan has misled the country!

"Du Du," the soldier pointed to the thousand huge ships behind him, "what should I do if I am caught on both sides?"

"What are you afraid of!" Although Sheng Yong didn't know where King Yan got so many ships, he soon found that there were no cannons on these ships, but more like civilian ships and grain ships: "These ships don't have cannons!

These ships had no guns, but they were very oppressive, and they kept pressing Sheng Yong's ships north. Sheng Yong couldn't command the ships to fight them, because there was heavy artillery fire from the Yan army ahead.

The bodies were littered on the water, floating around in the debris of the explosion, and the wounded were crushed underneath, groaning and screaming. The flesh and blood of the dead were blurred, the limbs were mutilated, and the light of the fire reflected the water and the sky like a fire hell.

Chen Zhi, the right attendant of the military department, rushed to the river, and saw that the flames were soaring into the sky, and the Yan army was already approaching the south of the Yangtze River, and shouted "Sheng Yong, Chen Xuan have descended", and couldn't help but feel dizzy. He looked back and saw all the soldiers, all of them were frightened, and none of them dared to board the ship again, so he couldn't help but shout: "Fang Jin's Han family is late, and the Gangwei is relaxed, and the jackal ambition of the king of Yan is hiding evil schemes, and he wants to destroy the pillars, eliminate the loyalty, and strive to win the hero." You have a million halberds, a thousand huge ships, and the country is raising you, just for today, don't you die to repay you!"

The soldiers looked at each other, and they didn't know why, Chen Zhi found that this group of illiterate people couldn't understand what he said, so he said: "The time has come to sacrifice yourself to serve the country, don't live up to the expectations of the Son of Heaven!"

"My lord," a voice in the team said, "Those who know the times are Junjie, and now the power of the Yan King is unstoppable, why should your lord drive us, if we need to be buried under the water!"

Governor Jin Jia had already had the intention of surrendering, and proposed that the Yan soldiers could not resist, so it was better to disarm and surrender. And Chen Zhi immediately reprimanded him harshly, saying that he was a traitor and a second-hearted minister, he was so angry that he suddenly jumped up and cut Chen Zhi's neck with a knife.

"Soldiers," Jin Jia carried Chen Zhi's head, and a pair of eyes on this head were still wide open: "Return to King Shunyan early, save your life, and save your family!"

Since Chen Xuan led the people to surrender, the Yangtze River Trench could no longer stop the Yan army, and the rest of the people immediately followed Jin Jia and no longer resisted.

The Yan army crossed the river by victory, the street was crossed, the flag covered the sky, the spear was sun, and the sound of the golden drum shook the heavens and the earth. Tens of thousands of warships crossed the river, walking on the ground, clamoring to land, no one resisted, and the officers and soldiers threw away their weapons and disarmed and surrendered.

The Jingshi was in danger, and Emperor Jianwen sent the kings to persuade one after another, and promised to cut the land to make peace, but the Yan army's offensive was like a bamboo, all the way down Longtan, and came to Jinchuan Gate.

Jinchuan Gate is a city gate in the northwest of Beijing, and it was ordered to guard Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, and Zhu Lu, the King of the Valley, who had already secretly communicated with each other, determined to abandon Emperor Jianwen and take refuge in King Yan, so King Yan attacked Jinchuan Gate and did not encounter resistance from a single soldier at all.

Since then, the Beijing division has not guarded, and in the middle of the big interior, a sky-high fire suddenly broke out, and Yan Jun dragged out a corpse from the fire, which was identified as the remains of Queen Ma's -

"Find," King Yan heard that Emperor Jianwen could not be found in the palace, and immediately said angrily: "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death!"

The Yan army searched almost all the places, but still did not see Emperor Jianwen - Zhang Fu said: "Your Highness, the last general thinks that Emperor Jianwen has already been burned to death, and there is no need to search the palace." ”

Ma He also picked up a jade pendant from the ground and said: "This pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants, the phoenix pendant is on Queen Ma's body, and the dragon pendant should also be on Emperor Jianwen." ”

King Yan stood there, no one knew what he was thinking, he waved his hand for a long time, and suddenly an unrecognizable corpse was dragged out, he tied the dragon pendant to the corpse with his own hands, and said, "Drag it out and publicize the ministers." ”

Ru Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials Lang Jianyi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Household Xia Yuanji, Liu Jun of the Ministry of War, the right attendant Lang Gupu, the servant of the Criminal Department Liu Jijing, Xue Rong of Dali Shaoqing, Dong Lun, the bachelor of Hanlin, Wang Jing, Hu Guang, Wu Pu, Yang Zirong, Huang Huai, and Xie Jin, etc., saw King Yan come out, and immediately kowtowed: "The country cannot be without a king for a day." His Royal Highness is a saint, the eldest of the ranks, and he should inherit the great industry and secure the four seas, so that the foundation of Taizu will be trusted, and the people of the world will always rely on. ”

King Yan suddenly smiled, he looked at the blood flowing in front of the palace, and said, "Yude is cool and thin, and God does not bless you." Sin deserves death, to thank the world. ”18310
