Chapter 181: Descending or Not Descending
When the day of the surrender ceremony was agreed, Zhao Chun led Wang Zhen and Taodong Xiaouchi and others to wait in a position five kilometers away from the East City Gate.
Because he had been attacked a few days ago, Zhao Chun was much more cautious this time, hundreds of thousands of troops had already entered the first-level alert posture, once the Black Ice Tribe used the surrender ceremony to make any moves, hundreds of thousands of troops would immediately launch an offensive to ensure that they could enter the city in the shortest possible time and destroy all enemies who moved. Moreover, after more than 20 days of siege, the food and other materials in the city have been a little tight, after all, there were more than 2 million residents in Heidu, plus more than 500,000 troops who fled from other places, the speed of consumption of materials is naturally very amazing. If the siege continues like this, even if Zhao Chun does not attack, the city will soon fall into chaos.
What's more, in these days, Wang Zhen and the others have not been idle, and have already sent people to infiltrate the city, not only knowing the layout of the city well, but also many people have penetrated into the interior of the Black Ice Tribe army......
At nine o'clock in the morning, as the east gate slowly opened, a team of hundreds of people slowly walked out of the city gate.
When he got closer, Zhao Chun finally saw that the person who took the lead was actually the son of Bamboo Pine - Takeuchi, and those who followed him were all Zhao Chun's acquaintances, including Seagull, Haiming, Man Cheng, Matsui, etc., Zhao Chun was not surprised by such a lineup, after all, people are all face-saving, the once invincible Black Ice Tribe is now going to surrender, and the leader of Bamboo Pine and his military department are naturally embarrassed to show up again.
"Hello, Commander Zhao, I didn't expect us to meet again. Takeuchi greeted from afar.
"Hello, Young Master Takeuchi. Didn't the leader of the bamboo pine come?" Zhao Chun smiled faintly, remembering some interesting things about this guy.
"He was not in good health, so he gave me carte blanche to come, originally I was not very willing, after all, it was not a glorious thing, but when I thought of seeing my old friend again, I couldn't help but feel a little happy, so I agreed to him. Commander-in-Chief Zhao, don't embarrass me, I have always been against this war, and I am not optimistic that they can achieve the so-called victory. Takeuchi was very straightforward, compared with a few months ago, he seemed a little more mature, but when he saw Mande in the crowd on Zhao Chun's side, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped down from the horse beast, ran to Mande, hugged him in his arms and said, "Brother Mande, I really didn't expect to see you again, I haven't seen you for a few months, I really want to kill me." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and those who followed Takeuchi turned their heads with their faces, as a young master of the tribe, they couldn't control their emotions, and they felt shameless to do such a thing in public, if there was a hole in the ground, I believe they would not hesitate to go in and hide. It's really embarrassing, it was already embarrassing enough to come to the surrender ceremony, but now the young master is still doing such a thing, it's really embarrassing to throw people home.
Zhao Chun saw that the two of them had a great sign of talking about their love to the heavens and the earth, and couldn't help coughing and said, "Young Lord Takeuchi, uh, let's talk about the surrender of your Black Ice Tribe first, and you will have a chance to be together in the future." ”
Takeuchi said impatiently: "What is there to talk about? We will accept all the conditions you put forward, and let Matsui take care of it." I finally met Brother Mande, and I was about to catch up with the old days, so I hope you don't bother us. After speaking, he ignored everyone and walked away directly with Mande in his arms.
Zhao Chun shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart, this baby is completely hopeless.
Since he couldn't count on Takeuchi, Zhao Chun said to Matsui and the others: "Everyone, please enter the tent and take your seats, if you agree to the conditions we put forward last time, we will start to sign and exchange contract documents, and the reporters present will release them to the entire holy area." ”
Matsui and the others naturally had no opinion, and walked into the tent with a red face. However, Hai Ming glanced at Zhao Chun a few more times, this young man who looked like a homeless man a few months ago has now become the most powerful person in the Holy Domain, it is really impermanent, fortunately, he was not bad to him at that time, otherwise it would be really embarrassing to meet now.
After the two sides sat down, Zhao Chun took out the documents that had been prepared, the contents of which were basically the same as those in the last peace talks, including the abdication of the head of the Black Ice Tribe Zhusong, the abolition of the military department, the trial of those who committed war crimes in the military department, the retention of the military personnel of the Black Ice Tribe, the selection of the new leader, the formation of a new cabinet in Taodong Xiaonei, and the compensation of 100 million taels of gold for the tribes injured by the invasion of the Black Ice Tribe, etc., and in the back, Zhao Chun added another article, that is, the Black Ice Tribe set up a treaty port, allowing all tribes to come to the Black Ice Tribe to invest in the construction of factories and enterprises, Commercial shopping malls, etc., implement preferential policies such as reducing tariffs.
Matsui felt a little helpless, the reason why he agreed to these conditions at the beginning was mainly to get instructions from the leader of Zhusong, saying that no matter what kind of request Zhao Chun put forward, he would agree to come down first, and he would have a way to deal with it, but now he has no good way, and now he is no longer qualified to bargain with Zhao Chun, this city has been besieged for more than 20 days, how can it be delayed? So he can only abandon those unrealistic ideas and accept them all.
He only mentioned one point at the end, that is, to let Zhao Chun accept the sincerity of the Black Ice Tribe and accept the most beautiful woman of the Black Ice Tribe as a concubine, because he felt that by doing this, when the Black Ice Tribe had any trouble in the future, Zhao Chun would take care of the Black Ice Tribe for the sake of this woman.
However, Zhao Chun is most annoyed by these now, naturally he didn't agree to his request, and then he really couldn't push it, so he had to let him introduce him to Taodong Xiaonei or Shen Ju, these two guys should be more interested in beauties, and it can be regarded as a reward for their meritorious service in the war.
After the signing ceremony, the treaty document was read out by Taodong Kouchi, and then announced to the entire sanctuary by several newspapers and periodicals with the largest circulation in the sanctuary, and the surrender ceremony came to an end.
And in the afternoon, all the gates of the black capital were opened, and the soldiers of the Black Ice tribe inside lined up in an orderly manner and walked out of the city gate to lay down their weapons, and the senior officers among them were sent to the prisoner of war camp, waiting for them to be tried by the International Military Tribunal, while the ordinary soldiers and some low-ranking officers were completely disarmed and returned to the field. And Zhao Chun's troops, under the leadership of Taodong Xiaouchi, marched into the city to maintain order. During this period, another incident happened, that is, a big man in the military department was unwilling to be judged, led hundreds of diehards, and committed suicide in front of the leader's palace.
Zhao Chun naturally laughed at this incident, what is there to sympathize with a person who has the courage to commit suicide and is unwilling to admit his mistake? Before they invaded other tribes, causing millions of deaths and thousands of families being torn apart, have they ever considered the feelings of others?
On the contrary, when the troops of Taodong Xiaouchi entered the city, the residents of the Black Capital City held a grand and grand welcome ceremony, for the ordinary people of the Black Ice Tribe, being able to eat enough is the most important thing, and the war brought them only a disaster, so they didn't want that to happen.
