Chapter 328: All surrender
"Master Meng, it's been hard work to come from afar, and I, Wang, will give you a drink."
said that he was toasting, but Meng He saw that he was holding up a wine jar.
Before he could dissuade him, the military attache surnamed Wang had already drunk the wine to the bottom.
Oh my God!
Meng He was stunned, this is a huge amount!
He was just about to give a few words of commendation, but the military attache in front of him turned white, the wine jar fell to the ground and shattered, and the person also collapsed to the ground softly, and suddenly lost consciousness.
Really, if you can't drink it, don't drink it!
At this time, the other people were also drinking, and no one paid attention to this person when he lay down, thinking that it could be regarded as Tongliao, Meng He stepped forward to help this person up and let him lie on the wine table.
Everyone saw that Meng He was doing irrelevant things, so they surrounded him again, and you drank one cup at a time.
Originally, he was sent here, and Meng He's mood was also not smooth, so he also let go of drinking, and he didn't know how to do it for a while, and he was also a little dizzy.
If these wines were changed to usual, they wouldn't be like this if they were drunk, mainly because Meng He was in a hurry, and his sleep in the past few days had been greatly affected, so now that he drank to a certain extent, he was too sleepy.
There is still a person lying next to him, or he will simply lie down!
They're having a good time, so let's go back with them!
Meng He thought so, and really fell asleep on his stomach in a daze, but there was something in his heart, and he woke up very helplessly.
At this time, the sound of a soft conversation suddenly reached my ears.
"He's asleep, let's do it!"
"Okay, I'll go get a knife."
The two of them were talking very calmly, what were they talking about killing?
At first, Meng He didn't care, but after thinking about it carefully, his hairs really stood on end.
First of all, in this upstairs room, everyone drank a lot, how could they have such a smooth conversation, and besides, who were they going to kill?
I'm an outsider here, so I guess I'm going to do it to myself!
was thinking about it in fear, but Meng He was afraid that they and his comrades were watching him, so he was afraid that he didn't dare to get up on the table, but just listened to their movements with his ears.
At this time, the sound of going upstairs came with a knock knock.
Then a few people slowly walked up to their side.
At this time, Meng He suddenly raised his head and jumped up, and said, "Don't kill me!" β
But the glittering machete fell, and a man's head fell to the ground with a gurgling head.
"Huhuhu......"
Meng He gasped heavily, thinking that he was going to die, but the three officials in front of him actually cut off the head of the military attache who had drunk too much next to him.
"You...... How do you kill! β
Meng He was shocked, this military attachΓ©'s official position was not big, but he was also a real official, how could he be killed by his colleagues!
The few people in front of them looked at each other, and they didn't expect to disturb Meng He.
Among them was Cui Renjie, the guard of Surabaya City, who shook off the bloodstain of the knife wound, and said to Meng He nonchalantly: "Originally, according to the plan, you will die tomorrow, but now it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, you should die now!" β
After saying this, the three of them were about to step forward.
Meng He was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again: "Don't, don't!" Stop, even if it's killing, I want to understand why, okay? I have come from afar in Dadu, and I can say that I do not know you, and how can you plot against me? β
"Because you're a lackey of the Tartars!"
Cui Renjie changed his posture with a knife in his hand, and his arrogance was even better, and he seemed to have regarded Meng He as a fish under his knife.
Minion?
Meng He was stunned, if he said that he was a lackey, he was a Song person, and they were also Song people, strictly speaking, who was not a lackey of the Yuan Dynasty?
However, the officials who defected should also know that there is no hope in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the powerful ministers are wantonly persecuting!
That's right!
Thinking of the purpose of his magnetism, Meng He was startled, and he had already thought of the reason.
Zhao Rui's fleet is coming, could it be that they are thinking about surrendering, or are they thinking about defecting directly to Zhao Rui?
"Die!"
In a hurry, Meng He said eagerly: "Don't kill me, I also want to take refuge in Zhao Rui, the king of Yongping!" β
It worked!
The three people on the other side had stopped and looked at themselves suspiciously.
"Why should we believe you? If you go back and betray us, maybe our nine clans will be implicated! β
Meng He roared just now, and at the same time, in his heart, the matter of taking refuge in Zhao Rui was like a plain after the rain, growing grass frantically.
"Of course, in fact, I have long wanted to take refuge in the prince, although I am an official in Dadu, but do you know, there are the most Mongols there, although I am an official, I often can't escape their discrimination and humiliation, I have thought more than once, it was a big mistake to come to the Yuan Dynasty in the first place."
Seeing that the faces of the three people on the other side softened, Meng He continued: "Fortunately, Prince Zhao Rui appeared in time, he is strict under his rule, generous and generous, and has a good reputation among the people, and he neither has the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, nor does he want to be as weak as the Southern Song Dynasty, in my opinion, the future must be the world of the prince!" And I will also devote myself to the restoration of the Central Plains! β
Oh, my God! Could this be a thought that I am not aware of?
Meng He was also surprised in his heart, he had not done his homework in advance with his impassioned words just now.
How could I say it all so easily!
"Ahh Great, it turns out that Master Meng and we have the same mind, then we are a group of people! I asked Lord Meng to forgive me just now, we were too abrupt! β
Hearing what he said, it didn't seem to be a fake, and the three people on the other side stepped forward to hook their shoulders and backs, looking so intimate.
Meng He also understood at this time why they wanted to kill the military attachΓ©, because this military attache still has a family living in Dadu, so after spying on their thoughts, it is also quite contradictory, but there is still a bond with their family, so they can't surrender rashly, if they surrender, he will immediately go to Dadu to report!
Therefore, this person provoked the anger of the people, and it happened that Meng He came, so everyone set up a situation together to kill him!
Anyway, the big war is coming, what's so strange about someone dying!
Meng He also knew their thoughts, they were thinking that when the war started, it would be almost tomorrow, and they would take the opportunity to solve themselves, so that they all surrendered, Zhao Rui occupied Surabaya, and the Yuan Dynasty court would only think that they were killed in Surabaya City.
It's a good plan, but fortunately, I'm vigilant, otherwise I don't know how to die.
On the one hand, Meng He was frightened, but also felt that the officials of the Yuan Dynasty had also begun to deviate from the Yuan Dynasty, and if this continued, sooner or later, the Yuan Dynasty would be completely conquered by Zhao Rui!
In this case, if you invest in Zhao Rui's camp one day earlier, then you will have one more advantage!
Originally, Meng He was still anxious about the imperial court sending him to Surabaya, but now it seems that it is a great opportunity!
The small cities along the river, Zhao Rui captured them even more easily, and he didn't even use mortars at all.
Because he still had to occupy the city locally, Zhao Rui sent a warship to the city to garrison.
When Zhao Rui's warship arrived in Surabaya, there were only ten medium-sized warships left in the fleet.
This city is not small, if ten ships land, it may not be enough, but Zhao Rui doesn't care so much, anyway, Dengzhou has also been blown up, Yingzhou has also been blown up, and it is not bad for Surabaya City.
If you can't capture it then, then you don't mind razing it to the ground again!
When he stopped the warship at a suitable distance, Zhao Rui picked up the loudspeaker-like megaphone, said the same words, and then waited for Surabaya's reaction.
Zhao Rui never thought that the Yuan army would surrender, if it weren't for the comfort of the common people, Zhao Rui would not be willing to waste time!
These days, when Zhao Rui is bored, he is half-lying on a rattan chair, enjoying the breeze on the river, he has been in a hurry since he came to this era, but he didn't expect that he could enjoy peace during the war.
"Young master, look at ...... opposite"
Zhao Gong seemed to have discovered something and informed Zhao Rui that his telescope had not been taken down.
"I'll look at ......"
Zhao Rui also quickly got up and picked up the binoculars to check.
Yes?
Zhao Rui suddenly found that a white flag was erected high on the opposite city wall?
Is this to surrender?
It's incredible.
And there was a boat on the river in between, densely packed with people, and the mast of the ship was also hoisted with a white flag.
"Young master, will there be fraud?"
Zhao Gong still blames himself a little for being on the boat by those five people inexplicably before, so he thought about asking on the water and then letting them come up.
But Zhao Rui waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, tell them to come up and talk, we have so many people, so many guns, what are we afraid of him!" β
"Yes! Master! β
When Zhao Gong arranged for someone to lower the soft ladder, the ship also approached Zhao Rui's big ship.
The people on the boat stepped on the soft ladder to get on the boat in turn, and the people in line below looked up at the big boat and felt a sense of their infinitely small.
The ship was so big, so big that it was beyond their comprehension.
Previously, they also knew about the Shenzhou ship of the Song Dynasty, and in order to build the Shenzhou, they also spent a lot of silver and consumed a lot of time, but now they compare it.
Shenzhou is really nothing!
At the same time, this also shows that Zhao Rui's strength must have surpassed that of the Song Dynasty!
Everyone was in a surging mood when they got on the boat, because Zhao Rui was sitting in front of them, and he looked so young and so majestic as a king.
"Lord Wang, I am Cui Renjie, the keeper of Surabaya City, and now I have brought all the officials of Surabaya City to join the prince! Oh, by the way, there is also Meng He, a civil official from Dadu, who already had the heart of refuge, and now he happened to come with us! β
Zhao Rui smiled and nodded: "Okay, welcome, welcome!" You can see the general trend of the world, and you can be regarded as a talented person, I need your participation here! β
Seeing that things were going so well, the officials also smiled at each other, feeling that not only did they save their lives now, but they also had the opportunity to be the founding heroes of the country in the future.
Even if Zhao Rui has no intention of arranging positions for them now, they are full of enthusiasm one by one!
