Chapter 633: Welcome to the King
The fire burned Thang Long for three days.
Such a fire could not be extinguished at all, and the continuous wooden buildings in the city were undoubtedly the sharpest weapons of the Ming army.
Horse fodder and grain and grass that were originally used to defend the city have now been burned to ashes.
The entire city of Thang Long still smoked billowing smoke, and although the flames were gone, a large amount of charcoal was still red, with billowing smoke and dust.
On the third day, a heavy rain came, and this rain was black, because the air was full of dust, and the black rain fell to the ground, and the dragon was reduced to hell on earth.
Originally, there were 200,000 people in the city, including 100,000 military horses, but now, the remainder, only seven or eight thousand, and the vast majority of the people, were not burned to death by the fire, they died peacefully, because they inhaled too much smoke and suffocated to death.
There were ruins everywhere, corpses everywhere, and most of the people who survived were burned, and some people coughed desperately because of too much dust inhalation.
They looked at everything in front of them blankly, this royal capital was like a can, the so-called stubbornness and strong walls made them a turtle in an urn.
The people who survived still have lingering palpitations, and the scene of that night was really terrifying.
People found the Emperor of Annam, Li Han, Li Huan's hair was scattered, where is there still the appearance of the emperor, he was protected by a few surviving ministers, hiding in a dry well in the palace to survive, when people pulled him out of the well, his whole person was still trembling, that nightmare-like horror, still coiled in his heart.
The Annamite people are actually not soft eggs, and even the Annamite people have always had a martial tradition and are relatively tough.
But what you are brave enough to target is, after all, a living enemy. Any brave person who suddenly sees something falling from the sky, and you can't touch them, and they can destroy everything you do in just an hour, the so-called bravery, it becomes ridiculous.
The same is true for Li Huan, if the Ming army enters the city, he may not be reconciled, if he can escape, he will definitely try his best to call on the soldiers and horses of the Annan states to restore the country, and fight with the Ming army to the end.
But when faced with this fire, he was silent, trembling, and the last bit of courage had long since turned to ashes.
He has only one thought, the Ming army, it is invincible, these can appear from the sea, can appear from the sky, can turn all the fortified cities into nothing, can make 100,000 elites, and the Ming army, which is completely killed and injured in an instant, has exceeded his cognition.
In fact, if you think rationally, they will find the weakness of the flying ball, the flying ball moves very slowly in the sky, only suitable for attacking fixed targets, the more soldiers and horses gathered, the greater the disadvantage to the flying ball, the Annan people suffered such a setback, the essence of which is that they stupidly chose to gather elite soldiers, defend the city, vainly try to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness, and the Ming army, if the whole is broken into zero, hiding in the mountains, the flying ball will be useless.
It's just a pity that at this point, people can no longer think rationally.
Li Han was like a lost dog, curled up with a helpless face.
To this day, the so-called Annan Kingdom is no different from a joke.
Na Hanlin also survived, half of his long fever was gone, and there were traces of burns on his face, and he said sadly: "Your Majesty, my Annan Zong Temple also suffered a fire, this is not a common hatred, Your Majesty should immediately leave Thang Long, run south, find a way to Champong, or other states and counties, gather volunteers, and fight the Ming army to the end." ”
The faces of the other ministers turned green with fright.
Still fighting?
They have lost their families, they have lost all their wealth, their mansions have been burned to ashes, they have nothing, and it stands to reason that if they don't take revenge, they are really worse than pigs and dogs.
But more people, in their eyes, only fear remains.
"The Ming army is invincible, I don't know when, those heavenly soldiers reappeared, Your Majesty, to this day, 100,000 elites, wiped out, must not be fought again......"
"yes, don't fight ...... anymore"
People were crying and pounding their hearts.
How stubbornly can this continue, this is looking for death.
Their psychological defense line has completely collapsed, and what blood feud and what family and country are now in front of this flying ball, there is nothing left.
Li Wei looked around in fear.
Someone hurriedly came: "Your Majesty, the men and horses of each battalion have been searched, there is not one out of ten sergeants, more than 80,000 dead in the army, countless people have been killed and wounded, and the grain and grass have been burned out...... A scout came, saying...... It is said that the Ming army has begun to move south, and it will arrive at Shenglong in a few days. ”
“……”
Everyone shuddered.
Li Wei began to cry: "I never thought that I would succeed to the unification and never lose, but the foundation of the ancestors and ancestors also died in my hands. ”
And all the princes wept aloud.
Li Wei said: "Now, the people are very seriously killed and injured, how can I drive the people to fight again with the Ming thieves for my own selfishness and my foundation, if so, I am only afraid that the country of Annan will be thousands of miles away, I am taught by the ancestors and religions, and it is my duty to love the people. ”
The ministers cried even more, and people beat their chests and fell to their feet, with sadness.
Li Wei said: "Today's plan is to surrender the whole country and let the thieves deal with it, which is the best policy." ”
Li Wei is not stupid.
At this point, if you don't surrender, do you wait for yourself to be hung up by the Ming army and show your head to the public?
If you want to live, you must hurry down, take the initiative to descend, and not lose a peaceful father, otherwise, you will really die without a place to be buried.
It's just that if you want to descend, how can you say that you are afraid?
This thing of the people is originally a basket, riding on their heads on weekdays, eating them, drinking them, using them, sleeping with their beautiful daughters, once they are in danger of protecting themselves, they can also push them forward, showing that they love the people and can't bear to live in misery, so it is not that I am cowardly, but that the soldiers and civilians are too fragile and I want to protect them.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
And all the ministers wept.
But although I cried, I couldn't help it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Li Wei is playing with his heart, but if he says that he is not sad, this is false, thinking that the foundation of Annan has been passed on to him for six generations, but it has been completely smashed in his own hands, and he is also sad.
Li Wei gritted his teeth: "The living kings in the city are all under control, and they must not be allowed to escape." ”
"This ......"
Li Han said with tears: "Now we are determined to descend to the Ming, after which we wait for the monarchs and ministers to be fish and meat, and the Ming people are swords, if we wait in the Ming camp, there is a king of the sect to escape, calling on the people of all states and counties to fight against the Ming army and revive Annam, then the Ming army will inevitably anger us, at that time, how to deal with us, I am afraid that in the end, the Ming people will vent their anger, and punish us." ”
“……”
Your Majesty...... It's really nice to be a person.
This abacus is very delicate.
Since you want to fall, then you will be desperate, don't have an accident, as Li Wei said, there is a clan that ran to expose the rod, and the worst death is Li Huan, it is better to simply break this thought, and obediently tie your hands and arrest it.
I think that back then, Emperor Damingwen conquered Annan, and there was such an accident, but now, there can be no such accident.
And they wept again.
What else can you do but cry?
………………
The mighty Ming army, under the leadership of Fang Jinglong, arrived at Shenglong, Fang Jinglong's eyes were moist.
When Emperor Wen conquered Annam, almost all the sons and daughters of the lords flocked to Annam, and his own father was also stationed in Annam when he was young.
But in the end, Emperor Wen died, the new monarch ascended the throne, and although Annan was still occupied by the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion was surging, and the Ming army was disturbed by the rebels.
After Xuanzong ascended the throne, he ordered the Ming army to withdraw from Annam, and at that time, the text was transmitted to the states of Annam, and the Ming army garrisons who were guarding the local area were relieved, but at the same time, they were full of unwillingness.
Everyone knows that this is not the way to go down, and everyone understands that the Ming Dynasty has spent countless money and grain, countless military horses have entered here, obviously won many battles, obviously has occupied Annan, obviously countless people's blood has been sprinkled here, in exchange for the Annan country to be opened into a state and county, into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end, everything came to naught, the imperial court at that time, although there were considerations of the imperial court at that time, may think that there is no point in going to the Western Ocean, occupy Annam, let the fleet set off in Annam, go deep into the Western Ocean, get twice the result with half the effort, there is not much meaning, Since the imperial court banned the sea, the long coastline of Annam has become a huge burden.
It may also be that such an occupation has caused Daming to waste countless money and grain, which can be used in other places.
Regardless of the reason, the result of more than ten years of fighting, in the end, everything came to naught, and the soldiers who entered Annam at the behest of Emperor Wen finally withdrew in disgrace.
But now, like his father, he has also come here, and the Shenglong in front of him has almost become a dead city.
Fang Jinglong gave the order to prepare for the siege of the city.
But at this time, the gate of Shenglong City was open.
The trembling Li Han took the surviving courtiers, naked with thorns, and the gray-faced Annan soldiers came out slowly with white flags.
After more than half a month of expedition to Annan, Shenglong was broken, and Li Huan, the king of Annan, offered the city to beg, but it was a pity that this time, Li Huan did not have the opportunity to present the yellow book, because that thing had long been burned to ashes by the fire, although this time there were some flaws in the begging, it seems to be excusable.
"The guilty minister against the heavenly soldiers, ten thousand deaths are unforgivable, today he repents, welcomes the king, long live the emperor, long live, long live! Up and down Annan, all sincerely attached, and hope that the Ming Emperor will not give up, treat him well, and ...... Thanksgiving, looking north and knocking. ”
