Chapter 102: Xidezi soldiers go out of the Southern Han Dynasty
Finally, the generals of the Southern Han Army made a move and stopped the attack of the soldiers under their command on the Zhou army, and then some other generals of the Southern Han Army also quit their troops, and even surrounded Liu Mang with a counterattack.
"Your Majesty, the current Southern Han Dynasty is over. Please also ask Your Majesty to see the affection of the ministers who have followed you for many years, and surrender with the ministers. A military general in his forties knelt on his knees and cried loudly at Liu Mang, who was being protected by his guards not far away.
"Bastard, is that how loyal you are? When will my Nanhan die? As long as we destroy the Zhou army, the Southern Han will naturally be able to keep it. Liu Mang was already angry at this time. Because at this time, he vaguely saw that on the wall of the capital, the crown prince he had ordained, was there to persuade the Southern Han army to lay down their arms and surrender.
"Your Majesty, half of the Southern Han Dynasty has now fallen into the hands of the Zhou army, and the capital has been broken by the other party. What's the point of us continuing to eat any longer. Another general of the Southern Han Army said loudly: "Look at the situation in the Southern Han Dynasty now, if it weren't for your blind strong army and reckless military force after you ascended the throne, you had to attack the Zhou State despite the opposition of the ministers, would it be the current situation?" The people of the rivers and mountains are rich, but what about now? ”
"Bastard, shut up for me. Hao Rengong, what do you think you are, dare to talk to me like this. There is no good person in your Hao family. ”
"Since Your Majesty is obsessed, then don't blame the ministers for being presumptuous." Hao Rengong didn't take Liu Mang's words to heart at all, looked at Liu Mang in the distance indifferently and waved his hand. The original Southern Han army behind him began to approach Liu Mang, who was protected by the Chinese army, step by step with weapons in hand.
"Slow!" A voice was heard in the distance.
Everyone looked back and found that it was a Zhou army galloping on horseback. Soon the Zhou army arrived in front of him, and after taking a slight breath, he shouted to the surrounding Southern Han army and generals: "By the order of His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, the generals of the Southern Han army can accept surrender, and will not pursue war crimes in the future." Families will also be safe. The premise is to give up resistance unconditionally. In addition, Liu Mang, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, also applies to this article. And my prince said that it is disloyal to kill the king, and I hope that the generals of the Southern Han Army can restrain and control their subordinates. As for the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, if he is unwilling to surrender, my Zhou army will naturally be responsible for exterminating it. At the same time, His Royal Highness King Zhou also said. After all, Liu Mang was once the king of a country, and he should give the other party a decent result. ”
After saying this, the generals of the Southern Han army hesitated for a moment, then all chose to remain silent, and began to command their subordinates to evacuate one after another, making way for the encirclement. As for whether Liu Mang will take people to take the opportunity to break through, it is no longer up to them to manage it at this moment.
And Liu Mang didn't move, because he knew it very well. He is now completely defeated. Even if you rush out, what can you do? Could it be that the emperor of a country wants to hide like a lost wild dog for the rest of his life? As an emperor, his pride and arrogance did not allow him to do so.
After a stick of incense, an old man about fifty years old rode a war horse and walked towards Liu Mang under the escort of his own soldiers. After seeing Liu Mang who was still protected by his personal guards from a distance, he arched his hand on the horse and said loudly: "This king, Qian Tuan, has seen the lord of the late Southern Han Dynasty. ”
"Hahaha......" Liu Mang laughed when he heard this, and then looked at the visitor with indifferent eyes and replied: "Qian Tuan, we are also old rivals." Speaking of which, I have to call you uncle. It's a pity that you just called it wrong. I am not dead, and the Southern Han is not dead. ”
"Hehe, what counts as perdition?" Qian Tuan was not stunned, turned over and dismounted, walked to the edge of the encirclement, and stood still. Holding his beard, he said: "Now that the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty has been broken by our Zhou army, the Zongmiao Sheji can be destroyed at any time. And more than half of the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty is in the hands of my Great Zhou, and you, Liu Mang, are now betraying their relatives and leaving their relatives, surrounded by our army, and may die on the battlefield at any time. Do you still have to hold on at this point? I, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou, have the virtue of a good life, and I have issued an order to allow you to surrender, and to ensure the personal safety of you and all members of the royal family. This can be regarded as the fulfillment of benevolence and righteousness. Are you still going to resist to the end? ”
"Hahaha, the so-called king dies. I, Liu Mang, am incompetent and have lost the foundation of my ancestors. Is it possible that in the end, he will surrender because he cares about his own life? Qian Tuan, you and that Gongsun Jian'er are really underestimating me. As he spoke, Liu Mang ignored Qian Tuan, but turned around to look at the guards who were still protecting him, smiled and said, "You haven't given up yet, you are still guarding my side, and I feel five guilty." However, the heavens did not favor me, I lost this great country created by my ancestors, and I was really shameless to face my ancestors and ancestors. To this day, you have done what you had to do, and you all have family and friends in the city. There is no need to follow me as a monarch anymore. If there is an afterlife, I hope that I can fight for my comrades again. But now, let's all disperse! ”
"Your Majesty!" The thousands of guards around Liu Mang all knelt on the ground and cried in a choked voice: "The ministers swear to follow Your Majesty." ”
Without waiting for the guards to finish speaking, Liu Mang took out the sword he was carrying and wiped it on his neck. This is the end of a generation of kings. Many guards, especially the hundred and ten people around Liu Mang, had no time to rescue, but then they all wiped the blades in their hands to their necks and died with Liu Mang.
It's been a long time, until everyone is quiet. Qian Tuan shook his head helplessly, and glanced at the guards who were still kneeling and crying, as well as Liu Mang who fell in a pool of blood and the guards who were martyred with him. He whispered to the Zhou army behind him: "Send someone to collect the body of the king of the Southern Han Dynasty and bury it according to the king's rites, and those guards will also be buried." After the notice, the families of these people have also been released, and they should not be humiliated. ”
Seeing that Zhou Jun behind him was still a little hesitant, Qian Tuan added: "Okay, at this time, this king will personally present it to His Highness." I believe that His Highness agrees with this opinion. ”
It didn't take long for Liu Mang's matter to be dealt with here. Gongsun Jian rushed over from the city with people. Looking at Liu Mang, who had been wrapped and restricted, he felt a little sad and emotional. After staring silently for a long time, he sighed and said, "Brother Liu, although you and I are enemies, Gong Mou has always admired your talent. In all fairness, if Gong Mou didn't have some help and only relied on ordinary soldiers in his hands, he might not be your opponent. Pity...... That's it, people die in time and space, and I hope that in the next life there will be a chance that Gong can be friends with you instead of rivals. ”
Properly handled Liu Mang's posthumous affairs, and Gongsun Jian ordered Liu Mang's body to be handed over to the captured Southern Han royal family to arrange a funeral, all the etiquette was in accordance with the emperor's specifications, and when he was buried, Gongsun Jian would personally support his coffin to see him off.
The next thing is to deal with the surrendered Southern Han army, these people are the biggest trouble at the moment, although because Gongsun Jian led people to attack the capital and control the Southern Han royal family and the families of the Southern Han army in the city, so there was a final victory. But at present, there are still more than 100,000 of these Southern Han troops, which is far more than double the number of victorious Zhou troops. How to arrange these people is the most important thing at the moment. If the arrangement is not good, it may cause dissatisfaction among these people anytime and anywhere, causing another turmoil in the situation in the Southern Han Dynasty.
For this reason, after urgent discussions with Ou Xia's generals and ministers, Gongsun Jian decided to reorganize the surrendered Southern Han army. At present, with Gongsun Jian occupying the Southern Han Dynasty, the military strength under his command is far from enough. Moreover, nearly half of the territory of the Southern Han Dynasty is still not under control. And the next task is to completely sweep away the Southern Han Dynasty and make it completely controlled by Gongsun Jian. Then these Southern Han troops will also have a place to play.
First of all, more than 100,000 soldiers were re-selected and reorganized, and all those who were too old or too young, as well as those with physical disabilities or poor health, were all dismissed, and silver money was distributed to them to return to their hometowns.
After that, the remaining personnel were all in chaos and rearranged according to the military system of the Zhou army, and selected grassroots officers from the Zhou army to fill in and serve as middle and low-level commanders.
In the end, the middle and senior generals in the Southern Han Army began to be arranged. First, based on the information gathered, they judged whether the person was suitable for use, and then carried out ideological education activities for these people, and most of the officers had to send them to military academies in Dazhou for study, and the main thing was ideological reform. Some of the generals of the Southern Han Army, who were younger and changed their thinking relatively quickly, were assigned posts and began to help reorganize the original army as adjutants.
Just when Gongsun Jian and others were busy dealing with post-war matters, a piece of news came. Part of the territory of the Southern Han Kingdom, which had not yet been completely occupied, all claimed to be autonomous from the original Southern Han rule, and still retained the name of the Southern Han State. He denounced the occupied territories and the former Southern Han officials who surrendered as traitors, and affirmed that they would raise troops to fight against these people. At this time, the court of the Zhou State also stood up for them, expressing their willingness to provide all help, and within a few days, a young man who claimed to be a descendant of Liu Mang was promoted as the new king of the Southern Han Dynasty.
After learning that the eastern part of the Southern Han Dynasty became independent because of the support of the Zhou state, almost all the generals of the Zhou army were extremely annoyed. One by one, they asked Gongsun Jian to send troops to attack immediately. And all of them are rushing to be pioneers. But Gongsun Jian did not express his position, but tried to appease everyone.
The task at hand is still very heavy, and it is not that it will be okay after the occupation. On the contrary, how to digest these occupied territories is the most important thing at the moment. However, Gongsun Jian was also very angry about the performance of the eastern region of the Southern Han Dynasty and the Zhou State at this time. He is very clear about Qian Hong's role in this matter, and he also knows what the other party's purpose is.
While stabilizing the territory of the occupied Southern Han Kingdom, Gongsun Jian began to actively plan his next move. The reorganization of the Southern Han army is still underway, and those ministers of the Southern Han Dynasty also need Gongsun Jian to appease. In particular, the royal family of the Southern Han Kingdom is now under the control of Gongsun Jian, and how to deal with them will determine how many people will truly belong to him.
Feng Huaidao was unable to leave Gongsun Jian's territory because he was responsible for supervising the country, so Huang Wenhua and Cao Liang hurried over after conquering the Southern Han Dynasty. After all, the civil administration still needs to rely on their assistance. Especially these two have always cooperated more tacitly.
Compared with the other three cabinet members, Feng Huaidao mainly did a good job of picking up and filling in the gaps for Gongsun Jian, and the other was to help him keep the current basic plate as Gongsun Jian's most trusted person. Li Wenfang, on the other hand, is mostly responsible for diplomacy and balancing internal stability, especially in Tien Nam Province. As for Liu Dayuan, he is purely a full number, but because he is the first old man to start with Gongsun Jian, he still has a very high status within the Gongsun Jian Group, especially with Qi Shi Ma Teng and other generals in the army, so he can also speak. The most important thing is that although Liu Dayuan is not good at words, he has no problem doing things. This is exactly what Gongsun Jian values him most.
On the other hand, Cao Liang and Huang Wenyuan, Cao Liang was the governor of the Zhou court in the past, and now he is in charge of personnel, but this person knows almost everything, and he is very good at dealing with people and things. It would be best for him to deal with the current issue of the submission of the Southern Han Kingdom. And Huang Wenyuan is now almost a mouth that can say dead people, and then he can say that people come back to life. He is the most appropriate person to be in charge of publicity and education. And now that the Southern Han Kingdom has just occupied, it is the time when he is needed, otherwise a lot of work will not be carried out.
