Now, everyone says that Xu Shiyang is a capable minister who rules the world and a hero in troubled times.

But Xu Shiyang knows his own affairs, he is really not a hero, at least in terms of attaching too much importance to family affection, he is still far from a qualified hero.

At the beginning, I was desperate with the Tartars on the front line, and my own uncle in the rear secretly communicated with the Tartars, and I didn't kill the uncle when I was angry.

So this time Xu Shiyang made up his mind, if Xu Shisong did not die directly on the battlefield, then he would not kill Xu Shisong - after all, Xu Shisong was also loyal to a Han dynasty, and the entire Xu family had been loyal to Da Zhou before.

Psychologically speaking, it is much easier to forgive Xu Shisong than to forgive the uncle at the beginning.

It's just that Xu Shisong has no way to retreat now, as he himself said, if he surrenders, what he did before will become a complete joke, and he is not as good as those who thought about surrendering from the beginning.

Moreover, how should the soldiers who followed him to the death charge two days ago be explained to them?

"Neither kill me, but also make me a loyal servant?" Xu Shisong smiled: "Are you going to let me go?" What's the use of that, even if you let me go, as long as Da Zhou is not dead, I have to continue to fight with you, and then you still have to kill me? ”

"Like you said, I've killed enough people, so don't bother so hard, kill me quickly, we'll both be happy."

"No, I said that if I don't kill you, then I definitely won't kill you." Xu Shiyang insisted: "I will indeed let you go, but not now, after I capture Emperor Longdao and completely destroy the Great Zhou, if he wants, I can release you together." ”

"And Wen Zhong, as well as those officials, soldiers, and people who are willing to follow you, when the time comes, set aside a place for you to be far away overseas, and you can build your own country—of course, the premise is that you must become a vassal state of China."

Xu Shisong looked at Xu Shiyang and didn't say a word.

Xu Shiyang and his cousin looked at each other with a calm expression.

"You don't kill the former dynasty clan? Aren't you afraid of future troubles? In the end, Xu Shisong couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't say that I won't kill any of them, Emperor Jianxing has to be judged, and there are some perverse Zhao clans, I won't let them go." Xu Shiyang replied clearly: "But the Son of Longdao, he has no bad deeds of taking refuge in the Tartars, as long as he can accept the fact of the unification of China, it is nothing to spare his life." ”

"As for the troubles, you couldn't stop me when you owned Jiangnan, and how could you become my troubles when you went to a remote overseas to re-establish the country?"

"And I don't want you to rebuild the Great Zhou, I will canonize you overseas as the king in the name of your Xu Shisong, and if you are willing to give up the throne to the Zhao family, then it is up to you, but Huaxia will not admit it."

"How? Acceptable? If you accept, then you still have the opportunity to meet your wife and children, and you can continue to be loyal to Da Zhou, and in the future, when you are remembered in history, it is estimated that you will be evaluated as an overseas lonely loyalty, right? After all, you survived the Great Zhou Dynasty. ”

"I seem to ...... There's no reason to oppose it. "Xu Shisong's most important things, just a few:

One is the evaluation of oneself in the history, the key to this evaluation is whether he is really loyal, if he can continue to support the Zhao clan, even if he is a vassal to Huaxia, even if he must go overseas to build a country, then this is not a problem (in fact, with Xu Shisong's understanding of the Zhao family, he feels that Da Zhou will soon propose to negotiate peace on the condition of being a minister).

The second is the world's doubts about his own ability, Xu Shisong's well-known military experience, only the suppression of the Fang La rebellion and the confrontation with Huaxia, the former is not a big deal, after all, the Fang La army is too weak.

The latter, he lost too aggrieved, if he dies now, even if he is evaluated as a loyal minister, I am afraid that his military ability will be criticized.

If he still has the opportunity to build a country overseas, he can also use the natives to brush up some achievements, showing the world that it is not that he is too weak, but that the opponent is too strong.

Third, it is naturally Princess Renfu and their children.

As a husband and father, there is still a love for licking calves, not to mention that their husbands and wives have loved each other for so many years, and their feelings are deep, they will die, and if they have the opportunity not to die, of course, they still have to take care of them themselves.

"It was a wise choice."

Xu Shiyang handed the apple in his hand to Xu Shisong along with the knife.

Successfully dispelling the other party's will to die made Xu Shiyang very happy, not only because he didn't have to kill his brother, but also because he could convince other people who were loyal to Da Zhou for the same reason.

This war of reunification in the south will certainly be resolved with minimal bloodshed.

For this alone, Xu Shiyang can leave a strong mark in the history of the nation.

"This knife was seized from the Jurchen Pseudo-Emperor at the beginning, and now I give him to you, I hope that when you go overseas to build a country, you can understand who is the enemy and who is your brother."

徐世杨 says:

"Now rest well and wait for the end of the matter."

"Let me write a letter." Xu Shisong said: "Let me tell the Longdao official about this, and I will persuade him to give up resistance-since it will inevitably end with our defeat, it is better to end it sooner." ”

……

Xu Shisong wrote the letter, but the letter did not reach the Longdao Emperor.

On July 20, when Xu Shisong was in a coma, the prefect of Jinling, all local officials and representatives of the wealthy clan in Jinling opened the gate of Jinling City and surrendered to the Chinese army.

When Xu Shiyang entered the city, Da Zhou's official hat and wat board were thrown to the ground, and both sides of the city gate were full of surrendered officials and representatives of the wealthy family.

He led the guards into the city on white horses, and at the gates of the city, Xu Shiyang ordered everyone to stand and at the same time announced a new rule:

Huaxia is a Yan Huang noble, can not easily kneel people, in the future, above the civilian class, can only kneel to the sky, earth, king, relatives, teachers, the rest can worship but not kneel.

Xu Shiyang is currently only the crown prince, not a monarch yet, so everyone can not kneel.

After Jinling, an important town of Jiangfang, surrendered without a fight, Lin'an was actually completely unsafe to defend - in fact, not only was there no danger, but there were no soldiers to fight.

After learning that Xu Shisong had asked to move the capital, the officials who planned to continue to follow him immediately prepared to abandon Lin'an's "Southern Hunting".

But before leaving, the Son of Longdao fell into the water while on a cruise in the Imperial Garden, and he fell seriously ill.

When the Chinese army marched in the direction of Lin'an, the emperor of Longdao was already suffering from a high fever and could not handle government affairs.

On July 23, 1795, just two days after falling into the water, the Emperor of Longdao of the Great Zhou Dynasty died.

When Xu Shiyang heard the news, he couldn't cry or laugh, these two Han feudal dynasties in different worlds, the methods of interest groups to deal with disobedient emperors are really the same.

And the speed at which Da Zhou does this is much faster than Da Ming.

The sudden death of the Emperor of Longdao did not end the war, and some officials led by Wen Zhong fled to the south with Emperor Longdao's seven-year-old son two days after Emperor Long Yu Bintian, and most of the remaining officials surrendered to Huaxia.

In his busy schedule, no one remembered that he should read Xu Shisong's letter.
