Chen Huang means: surrender.

"Today, I know the uselessness of gold and silver!" Chen Huang finished drinking the pheasant and mushroom soup and pointed to the humble line, "There is the treasury of Dayue, there is the imperial treasury of me, there are no less than 10 million gold and silver, and the treasures are not counted." But now, it's completely useless. ”

When Chen Huang entered the mountain, he not only collected all the stored grain, but also took away the gold, silver and jewelry of the state treasury and the imperial treasury of the palace, as well as important books and classics.

But although there are many gold, silver and jewelry, they cannot be eaten as food or salt, but they have become a burden.

In fact, even if they hunted in the mountains and forests, picked wild fruits, and caught insects to eat, the small court in the mountains could hold on for a while. At least two or three months, I can still persevere.

But what a benefit!

Because there is no food, the people's hearts have been scattered. It's no wonder how he was so careless and let the Yuan army spies burn the last tens of thousands of stone grain. If this grain had been there, the situation would be much better now.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Yuan army has a large number of Tusi barbarians and Vietnamese traitors who are familiar with the jungle, and their tactics cannot be cracked. In this way, sooner or later, the mountain court will be finished, and it will not be able to hide from the fifteenth day of the first month. It is better to fall late than to fall early.

Just looking at the fact that there are generals and officials who absconded and surrendered to the Yuan every three or five times, you can understand what will be the outcome waiting for the Yamanaka Imperial Court.

Not to mention the rest, it was the last forbidden army, and thousands of people ran away because of lack of food. Not to mention the township army.

Even in the jungle, this battle cannot be fought.

Chen Huang stood up, looked at the cloud-covered mountains, and said sarcastically: "Chen Yiji has become a prisoner, and it is estimated that he is still waiting for Kublai Khan to crown him as the king of Annam. ”

"It's stupid. The Yuan court spent so much money, food, soldiers and horses, and invaded the south three times before and after, how could it still keep Dayue? It must be to abolish the country and establish a province. ”

"It's ridiculous that Chen Yiji is still dreaming of the Lord of Dayue. In this way, although it can't keep the Dayue Sheji, it can keep the Chen family temple and not cut off the sacrifice. ”

When the ministers heard Chen Huang say so many things in one breath, they all knew it in their hearts.

"Zhuqing, you and the emperor have all descended. Carrying gold, silver, and jewelry out of the mountains can at least save your life and wealth. ”

Emperor Chen Yu and the only remaining minister of civil and military affairs immediately knelt down together.

"Father, you can't descend! How can that! ”

"Your Majesty thinks twice, you can't descend!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen swears to live and die with Da Yue, and never surrender!"

Although everyone knows that now that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the surrender may be the only way out, but at first glance, when Chen Huang decided to surrender, he was persuaded to stop at the first time.

In fact, it's just a gesture. The monarch wanted to surrender, but the courtiers did not advise, and the courtiers did not conform to the etiquette.

"Needless to say, I'm determined. Zhu Qing has assisted me for many years, sharing my worries, and now I am still living with me, sleeping in the open, and I can't bear it. Zhuqing has done his best, so let me do my best, which can be regarded as my return to Zhuqing. Chen Huang said happily or sadly.

"Father's ......"

"Your Majesty......"

Chen Yu and the ministers couldn't help but cry loudly, and they were extremely sad.

Chen Huang's queen palace concubines were also crying.

No one is stupid, and they all hear that although His Majesty is determined to let everyone surrender, he himself will not surrender, but will be martyred.

Especially those concubines, they are crying with fear, they... Fear of martyrdom!

"Hanlin is waiting for the edict! Intended! ”

"Your Majesty, Wechen, Wechen......"

"Why, do you dare to resist? Intended! ”

"No!" Hanlin waited for the edict to prepare pen and ink with tears.

Chen Huang closed his eyes and said: "The guilty minister, Wang Huang of Annan, bow to His Majesty the Emperor in the north: the criminal minister is obedient, he is a small state to the country, he dares to be stubborn, he is good at blessings, he disappoints the emperor's benevolence, and hurts His Majesty's way of forgiveness, but the soldiers of Lao Tian have repeatedly conquered, so that the lives are ruined, and the crime of this minister Huang is also ......."

“…… The sins of ministers are unforgivable. Now I suddenly woke up, repented and guilty, and it was difficult to redeem the sins of the ministers. However, the minister is about to die, and his words are also good. The sin of a small state is in one person. Dare to implore His Majesty the Emperor to atone for the sins of others, a thousand mistakes, and the guilty minister deserves it... With the benevolence of His Majesty, even if there is no guilt in the courtiers' will, he will forgive the Yue ministers and treat the Yue people kindly..."

Chen Huang said as he spoke, and everyone cried when they heard it, and finally the cry was earth-shattering, shaking the mountains and forests.

After writing this recital for Kublai Khan, Chen Huang stamped it with the seal of King Annam, handed it to Chen Yu and said, "You remember, you also have to write an abdication recital." At this point, you can only follow the example of the Duke of Yingguo and the Duke of Dongying County. ”

Chen Yu cried bitterly and took the guilty recital, "Father, my sons are willing to die with my father!" ”

"Idiot, it is said that since ancient times, it has been difficult to die only once, which is a big fallacy. What is so difficult about death, and what is there to fear? And it is really difficult to leave a useful body, live shyly, and endure humiliation. ”

Chen Huang sighed.

Chen Yu's heart was like a knife, and he just bowed his head and cried. Dayue is over, Chen's society is over, and the heart of his father's martyrdom is as solid as a rock. What should we do in the future?

Chen Huang suddenly asked in a low voice, "Do you know who Emperor Wucheng is?" ”

Emperor Wu Cheng? Isn't that Murong Chui? Chen Yu quickly reacted and whispered, "Erchen understands what his father meant. ”

The father asked him to emulate Murong Chui to serve Fu Jian's story.

"If you know, it's good." Chen Huang patted his son on the shoulder, "You are only in the age of the weak crown, and you will have a long time to come." What happens in the world in the future, only God knows. ”

After Chen Huang finished speaking, he looked at the verdant mountains, and said in a gloomy tone: "The great southern country is beautiful, and it is easy to see when it is difficult to see." Since it is difficult to see each other once you say goodbye, then I will not say goodbye, and the green mountains here are the places where I am buried. What a mound, what a mound. ”

"Your Majesty!" The ministers were all in tears, but no one could persuade them anymore.

Chen Huang looked at a few palace concubines with pear blossoms and rain, and said quietly: "It's lonely here, a few of you, just stay here with me for eternity." ”

When several palace concubines heard this, their eyes suddenly darkened, and they fainted in fright.

Three days later, on May 24, after Chen Huang bathed, he told his ancestors of heaven and earth, and then hanged himself on a camphor tree.

In addition to the several palace concubines who were martyred, there were five ministers who hanged themselves together and followed Chen Huang to martyrdom.

…………

On May 29, the twentieth year of the Yuan Dynasty, five days after Chen Huang committed suicide and martyrdom, Chen Huang, who had completed the funeral, led dozens of civil and military ministers, as well as the remaining more than 5,000 soldiers and horses with vegetable faces, to the outside of the mountain.

The magistrate of Annam, who had already surrendered to the Yuan army, immediately faced the enemy. After learning that the deceased master planned to go out of the mountain and descend to the yuan, he was relieved.

On June 2, Chen Yu and his entourage came to Guli City, drove a plain chariot and white horse symbolizing the surrender ceremony, and carried gold, silver and jewelry, and officially surrendered to the Yuan court.

Li Luo, the general of the expedition to the south, and Chen Yiji, the supervisor of Annan, went out of the city together to surrender after getting the news.

Li Luo knew that Annan Junchen would surrender sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. It seems that Chen Huang is an understanding person.

From the standpoint of Annan's monarchs, the situation has deteriorated to such a point, and it is indeed better to descend later than early. There are still three decent points to descend early, but if it's late, it's hard to say. If the renegade generals are caught and surrendered, the face will be lost.

Chen Yujunchen was full of emotion when he saw Gu Licheng, and he was embarrassed. Just two months ago, they were the owners of the place. But now, the dove has occupied the magpie's nest, and things are not human.

And Chen Yiji couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Chen Yi.

Great nephew, your father and son have robbed me of the throne that belongs to me, what is happening now? Your father committed suicide in fear of sin, and you became a prisoner.

It's unpredictable.

Chen Yujunchen didn't look at Chen Yiji, who had a good face, but bowed directly to Li Luo.

"Guilty minister Chen Yu, ask His Majesty the Emperor for his guilt! Please ask the general to act as the Holy Lord! I'm Annan, and I've been down to ...... since then."

Not long ago, Chen Yu, who was the lord of the six million Annan people, fell down in the dust outside the city at this time, and his body trembled slightly. He held aloft the seal of the sovereign authority of man, as well as the book, with a respectful expression.

"The Great Emperor will know Er Cheng!" Li Luo said loudly, "Whether or not to add guilt is still pending the emperor's holy judgment, and before the will arrives, you must be detained for the time being." Can the lord of the kingdom object? ”

Chen Yu said: "Please ask the general to play the emperor, Chen Yu has no objection, just wait for the holy judgment!" ”

After the scene of no nutrition, Annan Junchen was temporarily placed under house arrest in the barracks, and 5,000 soldiers and horses were also disarmed. All the gold, silver and jewelry carried by the monarchs and ministers of Annan were confiscated by the Yuan army.

Chen Yujun's official surrender meant that the Yuan army's conquest of the south finally won a complete victory.

Annan... Flat!

On the same day, Li Luo wrote a chapter to the Yuan court, reporting the surrender of the monarchs and ministers of Annan, and it was stated that Annan had been pacified, Chen Huang was dead, and Chen Yu had surrendered.

Although Annan was pacified, the people of Annan were still antipathetic, and more than half of the casualties of the southern expeditionary army were implore the imperial court to transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses from Huguang, Yunnan and other southern regions to defend Annan with an army of more than 100,000 troops, so that after three or five years, it would be safe.

Second, I implore the imperial court to send a minister to serve as the governor of Jiaozhou Province.

Thirdly, he requested that Champa be changed to Xiangzhou, set up Xiangzhou Province, and send ministers to serve as Pingzhang political affairs. and garrisoned 50,000 to defend the town.

Fourth, please ask for instructions on whether to escort the monarchs and ministers of Annan back to Dadu to sacrifice prisoners.

Fifth...

Li Luo's recital can be said to be a proposal completely, taking advantage of the great victory of the Southern Expedition, he had the opportunity to speak with weight, and he completely borrowed his plan for Annan and Cham to lay the foundation by the hands of the Yuan Court.

The abolition of the two countries in one fell swoop, the establishment of two provinces, and the abolition of the Brahmanism of the Cham and so on, really pointed out the world, and in a word, the south is important.

Being a general to the point of Li Luo is actually an outlier.

As Li Luo, who won a great victory in the Southern Expedition, he was qualified to put forward these articles. As long as it is not outrageous, the Yuan court should be able to play.

At this time, it was already June, and all the spring rice had been harvested.

Li Luo unceremoniously forced the puppet court of Annan to take away six million stone grain in the name of rewarding soldiers and transporting military rations, and Li Luo personally got two million stone of grain.

The confiscated gold, silver and jewelry of the Yue Kingdom were also divided among the generals of the Yuan army. Li Luo received more than three million taels of gold and silver.

The Yuan army captured more than 100,000 slaves, and Li Luo divided more than 20,000 people.

As long as they didn't die, from the generals to the sergeants, everyone made a fortune. Even the Tusi barbarians were given gold and silver, grain, and women.

Everyone was happy.

As for the comrades-in-arms who died in battle, I'm sorry, I forgot about it a long time ago.

After writing the recital, Li Luo hid in the house alone and calculated the harvest of the conquest of Annan.

It's not that I don't know, but it's really a big shock.

In less than five months of his expedition to the south, he received more than 10 million taels of gold and silver, 50,000 or 60,000 slaves, and more than 6 million stone of the most important grain in Annam and Champa.

It also dug up more than 4,000 party cavalry, 6,000 Khitan cavalry, and 6,000 Jurchen cavalry.

There are more than 10,000 horses.

Hundreds of elephants. There are tens of thousands of buffaloes and tens of thousands of mules and horses.

Thousands of ships of all sizes. Zhu Qing Zhang Xuan's shipping fleet, the remnants of the Huguang Water Division, the Annam Water Division, the Cham Water Division, and all the merchant ships in the Indochina Peninsula were either sunk or fell into the hands of Li Luo.

In addition to this, there are countless goods such as ivory, rhino horn, spices, etc.

Think about it, the two countries of Annan and Cham have died, and Li Luo is the person behind the scenes who has benefited the most, how much do you say he has gained?

It's simply hard to assess.

The Yuan army is in the light, the Tang army is in the dark, and after a few months of fighting, how can the harvest not be scary?

After thinking about it, Li Luo was already numb.

I, Nima, am I so cruel when I get rich, will I be damned?

After several months of operation, Tang Guo has made a windfall and already has the capital to raise troops in a big way.

However, Li Luo still did not let go of Annan.

This man... Don't let it go!

"The Lord Regent has arrived!" On June 6, when Chen Yiji, the superintendent of the state, was discussing with the court, Li Luo once again brought a large team of guards into the palace.

Chen Yiji felt more and more that Li Luo was ashamed. Every time he saw Li Luo recently, he couldn't wait to kick him.

Aren't you going to recommend me to the Emperor as the new king?

How long has it been? Even Chen Huang's father and son are dead, and the people who have entered the mountains have returned to their hometowns to cultivate and become obedient people, why hasn't my throne come down yet?

Moreover, you don't give me any power, you take most of the food, almost all the gold and silver, and you don't let go of the military power at all... Completely used me as a pawn!

Chen Yijizhi is talented and talented, and Li Lingzhi is not fake, but he is not stupid after all. After not getting the will of the throne for so long, he vaguely understood in his heart that he was being tricked by Li Luo.

If it doesn't work well, the prison country is already the highest position in his life, and he doesn't know how many days he can be.

Although Chen Yiji hates Li Luo more and more, but now that Li Luo is the real king of Annan, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only scold in his heart. Where do you dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction?

"General......" Chen Yijiqiang smiled and stood up to say hello.

The ministers of the puppet court also flattered Shi Li.

Li Luo sat down and said with a smile: "What is the prison country talking about today? ”

Event? Do I still have the right to talk about big things? Chen Yiji couldn't be too depressed when he heard this.

"The general laughed, I'm waiting for something big to discuss." Chen Yiji said perfunctorily.

He really didn't talk about major matters, and the reason why he discussed it every day was just because he liked to sit in the court and discuss things.

It was only when he sat on the dragon chair and watched the ministers below him come out to perform the work that he felt the most happy. The feeling of being in control was so real that it didn't feel like a dream at all.

Li Luo smiled and said: "Prison country, everyone, this commander has a big matter to discuss with you." This is also the meaning of the Dadu Imperial Court. ”

Chen Yiji and the others suddenly became nervous, and they suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Dare to ask... What's the big deal? Chen Yiji asked a little nervously.

"It's not too much of a deal." Li Luo's smile was still very kind, but it made Chen Yiji a little hairy.

Li Luo stood up, stroked the hilt of his sword and paced beside the main hall as if no one was around, and said: "Some people in the court have read the "History of Dayue" and are very dissatisfied. It is said that Annan repaired history in this way, which shows his self-reliance and unsubservient heart. ”

Hearing Li Luo suddenly mention "The History of Dayue", Chen Yiji and the others immediately turned ugly.

Why did Li Luo mention "The History of Dayue"?

"The History of Dayue" is a history book of Annan compiled in imitation of the "Historical Records" during the period of Chen Taizong, which records the history of more than 1,000 years from Zhao Tuo to the Li Dynasty, and it has only been published for 20 years, but the influence has been not small.

Li Luo knew very well that the "Records of the Great Yue History" was a historical book written entirely from the standpoint of Annan and was a cultural project for Annan's independence. It is the same purpose as a certain island in later generations to engage in island history.

In the words of later generations, "The Records of the Great Yue History" is a product of the historical concept of Yue independence, and it is a product of the more independent culture.

The completion of the "Records of the History of the Great Vietnam" marks the complete independence of Annam in history and culture, and it is a deeper independence.

Since then, the Annan people have gradually ceased to regard themselves as Central Plains people psychologically.

Therefore, Li Luo will never allow the existence of "The History of Dayue".

"The History of Da Yue has a lot of disobedient theories, and it is self-excluding from the heart of the Celestial Empire, and it is undisguised, how can it really be true!" Li Luo unceremoniously pointed at "The History of Da Yue".

"The whole world is not the king's land! What is the Great Viet Nam? In the book, what is the intention? Where did such transgression go to the Celestial Empire? How can you not be punished if you are so heartfelt! ”

"This book is really rebellious and crazy!" Li Luo's expression became more and more cold.

"Yes, this book that dares to be called "The History of Dayue" must be banned, and no one is allowed to circulate and be kept privately. Violators will be punished for misdeeds and will not be tolerated! ”

"From now on, all the "Records of the History of Dayue" will be burned in one piece. The engraving is destroyed, and it is strictly forbidden to reprint. Violators will be beheaded! ”

Li Luo's words were cold in the hearts of Chen Yiji and others.

Li Luo, he actually wants to destroy "The History of Da Yue"!

This is to dig up the root of the people.

But how dare they stop it? What to stop? And what reason is there to stop it?

Chen Yiji was reluctant to burn the "Records of the History of Dayue", so he did not immediately express his support for Li Luo's order.

"What? The prison country, on behalf of the imperial court, banned the burning of the "Dayue Historical Records", does the prison state have any objections? Li Luo said to Chen Yiji with a smile.

Anyone could hear the coldness in this man's tone.

Chen Yiji was excited, and hurriedly said: "No, no, the general misunderstood. Since the "History of Dayue" is against the way of the ministers, then, then it is forbidden to burn it. ”

Li Luo smiled: "Then ask the prison country to give an order." First, the engraving plates of the "Records of the History of Dayue" in the treasury of the ancient rite city and Thang Long city were burned, and then the history books were burned, and then they were ordered to be confiscated, and finally all of them were burned. ”

Chen Yiji was about to cry, and said with a crying voice: "What the general said is very true, and it is exactly so. ”

However, Li Luo's matter is not over, and he points to the "muttering words" invented by Annan himself.

What is a mutter? It is a Chinese character created by the Annam people themselves, which is an alternative Chinese character. The word 喃字 is essentially a newly coined Chinese character. But although the word muttering appeared, it was not yet popular.

Although the murmur characters are currently only used in a small area, and they are mainly used among the people, and they are branches of Chinese characters, Li Luo absolutely does not allow the appearance of murmur characters.

"This kind of muttering, fabricated, unorthodox, all deposed! Those who dare to murmur words will be punished for blaspheming the sages! ”

Li Luo gave the order without question.

And Chen Yiji had to do it one by one, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

By 15 June, all the "Records of the Great Viet" in Annam, including the engravings, had been burned. At that time, Chen Taizong organized a large number of manpower to spend ten years to compile the "History of Dayue", which was destroyed.

Of course, all this was ordered by Chen Yiji.

Li Luo will not get such a stain as book burning.

On 18 June, the "sea merchants" invited by Li Luo finally arrived.

These "sea merchants" are here to buy grain.

The millions of stone grain distributed by the soldiers of the Yuan army were all sold at half the market price to a few "sea merchants".

Although the food is good, it is not easy to take it back, and I can't eat it myself, so of course it is best to sell it for money.

The general is really considerate of his subordinates. Not only did they share the food, but they also found buyers for everyone. Even though it's only half price, that's a good deal. Anyway, the grain is all trophies.

In this way, Li Luo spent two million taels of silver and ate four million stone of grain in the hands of the soldiers of the Yuan army. Of course, the two million stone grain he himself shared was also "sold" to the "sea merchants".

Later, Li Luo bought more than 10,000 slaves of the Yuan army through the "sea merchants".

It was only when the fleets of several "sea merchants" left loaded with grain and slaves that Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

It's all in hand.

The food he was most worried about was enough!

On June 22, Li Luo finally received a decree from Kublai Khan.

The holy decree ordered Li Luo to escort the monarchs and ministers of Annan and return to Beijing to offer prisoners. The military and political affairs of Annam were all handed over to Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, who came to convey the holy decree.

To Shumu is already Zuo Cheng of Zhongshu Province, but he was sent to Annan in Xinping to do Pingzhang political affairs, and it is obvious that the Yuan court attaches great importance to Annan.

From this moment on, Li Luo was no longer in charge of Annan's military and political affairs. He was finally able to pull out.

A perfect ending!

In addition to letting Li Luo return to Beijing to offer prisoners, the Yuan court also gave Chen Yiji a holy decree.

The holy decree to Chen Yiji said that the name of Annan was abolished, the Annan court was abolished, and it was changed to Jiaozhou Province... Chen Yiji was named the king of Jiaozhou, and returned to Beijing with Li Luo, the general of the expedition to the south...

Chen Yiji, who received the decree together, heard the content of the decree, and his face suddenly turned as pale as paper.

The Yuan court actually abolished the name of Annan and the imperial court! It has become a province of Jiaozhou!

He was crowned the fluttering king of Jiaozhou, just a title!

In other words, the power of Annan will be held by the new Pingzhang political affairs of the Yuan court.

The imperial court will be replaced by the Pingzhang Yamen.

And he, Chen Yiji, no longer has the slightest relationship with the power of Annan.

Not even a puppet anymore!

Even if he was mentally prepared, but when the huge loss hit, Chen Yiji was still a little in a trance.

Da Yue, it's just gone?

It's all with him, has nothing to do with it?

Chen Yiji's eyes suddenly darkened, and he fainted.

Several ministers of Annan saw Chen Yiji fainting and hurriedly helped him up.

Li Luo immediately corrected when he heard this: "Everyone, you are also the courtiers of Dayuan now, this prison country can no longer be called, it should be called the king of Jiaozhou." ”

To Shumu smiled: "Morgenbal is right, this prison country can no longer be used." ”

Li Luo asked Shumu to come to Renshou Palace, talked for a long time, and then raised the final military meeting and transferred the military power to Shumu.

"If you want to bind the wood officials, this will be handed over to the state and province, and it will be handed over to you." After Li Luohe handed over everything to Shumu, he prepared to escort the monarchs and ministers of Annan back to Dadu.

"Morgenbaldu has made another contribution to the destruction of the country, and he is really a famous general. The Great Khan was very happy, and the parish first congratulated Mergenbal! ”

Although he was a Mongolian nobleman from Dagenjiao, he was very polite to Li Luo.

After the two discussed the matter of Annan, Li Luo prepared to leave the next day.

But in the evening, Li Luo received a huge surprise from Haidong.

Cui Xiuning, seven days ago, was born on June 15th!

Moreover, it is still a very rare dragon and phoenix fetus!

Li Luo got the news, locked himself in the room, and laughed for a long time before coming out.

This man is like an arrow, and he doesn't want to stay in Annan for a day.

"Order, set off overnight!"

ps: Don't say anything, please continue to eat and support me. Annan, who has been writing for nearly a month, is finally over. The protagonist is full of loads, and I am physically and mentally tired. But with everyone's company, there is still joy in suffering, and crab crab support!
