Chapter 124: Unconditional Surrender
A few days later, the weekly newspaper published the news of His Majesty the Emperor's inspection of the Agricultural Science Laboratory of the Research Institute. He pointed out the importance of the research done by Wei Liangqing and others in the Agricultural Affairs Section, and finally introduced the new poems of His Majesty the Emperor.
Editor's note: It is believed that His Majesty the Emperor's success since ancient times has tried This poem is only a limerick poem, but the meaning contained in it is very far-reaching. His Majesty the Emperor hopes that everyone can be like Wei Liangqing and others, talk less empty words and do more practical things. For the sake of the well-being of the people of the world, it is much better to study hard and study carefully than to accuse others of doing badly there.
These words brought the Donglin people with them, and the irony was very obvious. However, now the Donglin people have been a lot more honest after the blow of the Xiyuan incident, especially in the north, there are very few people who say good things about the Donglin Party, of course, the reputation of the Donglin people in the south of the Yangtze River is still very good.
Potatoes can replace flour to a certain extent, making Zhu Youxiao's most worrying food problem seem less urgent, and Zhu Youxiao set his sights on Liaodong. The problem of Jiannu has changed from a disease of the heart to a problem of scabies, but Zhu Youxiao is obviously unwilling to give them a chance to breathe.
Dai Shan took the remnants of the Jianzhou Jurchens and retreated to Hetuara as soon as he retreated. Lu Xiangsheng ordered the guards to follow behind unhurriedly and recover the towns along the road, and all the captured Jurchens were captured, regardless of men, women, and children, and sent to southern Liaoning to open up the wasteland.
Although it cannot be said that there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms, it is an indisputable fact that nearly half of the Han people were killed. The Han people who were slaves also had to be screened, and those who were willing to be slaves were also transported back to southern Liaoning, and together with their original masters, they became a reclamation army.
Three days after they returned to Hetuala, Lu Xiangsheng had already led his troops to the west of Hetuala. He was not in a hurry to attack, but kept urging the supplies behind, and began to cut down trees and build houses in the west of the city, preparing for a long-term siege. Anyway, it is still very early in the winter in Liaodong, and there is no need to worry about the impact of the severe cold.
After two years of development, Yang Sichang's logistics department has formed a huge group that is semi-independent of the Guards. Of course, it was still responsible for the supply of the Guards. Although the Guards were now chasing the enemy by land, making it impossible for the Logistics Department to give full play to its advantages in water transportation, Yang Sichang was still able to easily mobilize enough vehicles to continuously transport ammunition and food forward, ensuring the Guards' combat and living needs.
After Dai Shan entered Hetuala, he counted the number of Eight Banner armor soldiers, only to find that only forty percent of the original was left. When some of the armor soldiers fled, they just wanted to flee as quickly as possible, and even discarded their weapons and armor, and their morale was extremely low. Fortunately, Jianzhou has been transporting grain here, so the food supply in the city is okay, which can last for three months. This is also the advantage of the small number of people who come back, if they all come back, they will only last for more than a month.
Dai Shan and a few people are in the Great Yamen of the Khan Palace, you look at me, I look at you, they all see despair on the faces of others. Dai Shan said weakly: "Now there are only forty percent of the Eight Banners armor soldiers who can fight, there are no Han slaves, and the Ming army is eyeing it outside, what do you think Dajin should do." ”
Amin, as the second Belle second only to Daishan, said: "For today's plan, the only way to go east is to go east to fight for the fishskin Jurchen, recuperate, and then try to fight with the Ming Dynasty." ”
Yue Tuo thought to himself, even Da Ming has said it, it's strange that you still have the courage to fight with Da Ming. He shook his head and said, "Father Khan, let's come down." We have retreated to the old city, and the Ming army is not at all for us to withdraw from the side wall, they are going to completely annihilate us, and our current morale is not possible to defeat the Ming army. For the sake of Jianzhou, surrender is the best way, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to want to kill Jianzhou, and then this land will not be occupied by other tribes, and it is impossible for the Ming people to occupy it here. ”
Dai Shan said: "When the old Khan was here, we also asked to surrender many times, and now please surrender to the Ming army, will you agree?" ”
Yue Tuo said: "In the past, the requirements of the old Khan were too high, so the Ming people were unwilling to agree, so we can lower the requirements." ”
Amin glanced at him and said, "Old Khan's request is already too low, how can you lower your request?" Do we all want to cut off our own heads and give them to the Ming army? ”
Yue Tuo said: "This is not enough, in fact, you really have to surrender, there is a way to surrender, and the Ming army will definitely agree." ”
Amin said, "How to surrender?" ”
Yue Tuo said with a smile: "What ability do we have now to put forward such and such conditions, and the Ming army is not a stupid pig, so it's strange that they can agree to our conditions." We simply didn't mention the conditions and let the Ming army deal with it, but they wouldn't have done anything out of line. ”
Amin said angrily: "I don't agree to put my life in the hands of the Ming people. If Yuetobel insists on descending, please let me walk with the blue flag. ”
Yue Tuo looked at Dai Shan. Dai Shan said slowly: "What Erbeile said is reasonable, and it is really unwise to put his life in the hands of the enemy. Why don't you go and talk to Lu Xiangsheng, and ask him to put forward conditions, and then we will talk to them on this basis. ”
Yue Tuo sighed and agreed. He went out of the city alone and went to the Ming army camp. When he went to the door, he said to the guards guarding the door: "Please tell Master Lu, the old man Yue Tuo is visiting." ”
Lu Xiangsheng had already received the news that Yue Tuo was coming, and after receiving the report from the guards, he said, "Let him come in." ”
The guards at the door said one by one: "The commander of the first division of the Guards Army ordered Yue Tobel to come in. ”
Yue Tuo heard a loud voice from far and near, sighed again, and walked forward with his head down.
After entering the handsome tent, Yue Tuo arched his hand and said: "Bachelor Lu, today Yue Tuo came to ask for surrender, Bachelor, you can put forward any conditions you want, as long as I let Jianzhou remain, you want to kill or kill Yue Tuo, you can do whatever you want." ”
Lu Xiangsheng asked people to take the stool and said, "Yue Tuobeile should sit down first." As for how to surrender, our emperor once said a word, called unconditional surrender, and Yue Tobel should understand what it means when he hears it. I wonder what Yue Tobel thinks? ”
Unconditional surrender? Yue Tuo's heart was full of resentment, this is really just for you to cut and kill us, and you still want to say that you killed it well? But the situation is stronger than people, and now Jianzhou has no way to confront the Ming army, and the Ming Emperor cremated the old Khan, and it doesn't seem that he is a violent lord, so it is impossible to kill the Jianzhou Jurchens.
He gritted his teeth and said: "On behalf of my father, Khan, accept the unconditional surrender of Master Lu, and ask the Bachelor for the sake of me to ask for surrender many times, and not to kill Jianzhou." ”
Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Belle rest assured, my emperor is a benevolent lord, and he will definitely do such an angry thing." Let's discuss the specific process. ”
