Chapter 944: Peak Loop
As Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, the general of Pingnan of the Great Western Kingdom, Ai Nengqi is very loyal to Zhang Xianzhong, not to mention that in the past ten years, the Western Army and the Ming Army have fought countless times, which can be described as deep as the sea, so even when facing a dead end, Ai Nengqi never thought of surrendering, so when he heard his son Ai Chengye's proposal to surrender, he couldn't help but be furious and scolded endlessly.
Ai Chengye lowered his head, listened to his father's scolding, and waited for Ai Nengqi's scolding to stop before raising his head to explain.
"Father, it's not that the son is greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the sake of the lives of more than 10,000 brothers and tens of thousands of women and children!
The situation is like this, and there is only one way to overturn the Ming army in another battle, but at that time, tens of thousands of soldiers, women and children will lose their lives.
At that time, under the encirclement and suppression of the Ming army in several provinces under the command of Yang Sichang, a scholar of the Ming University, His Majesty also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Ai Chengye persuaded bitterly.
"You mean we fake surrender?" Enench's voice lowered.
Ai Chengye nodded: "Since we can't escape, we can surrender, we can negotiate terms with the Ming army, as long as they don't break up our army, and when the limelight passes, after the Ming army retreats from all over the country, let's just pull the flag and rebel again." ”
"But will the Ming army believe it?" Enchi hesitated, "Will they keep us in the army?" ”
"What if you don't let it? Even if we don't have an army in our hands, as long as our father and son can survive, let's wait for the opportunity to escape, and we can escape to Sichuan to join Li Dingguo's grandson. Ai Chengye said, "If we surrender, the brothers and their families will survive, and our father and son will be worthy of them." ”
"Okay." Eneng was finally moved.
……
In Yanping Mansion, the siege and annihilation of the western thieves were imminent, and Wang Yin also moved the superintendent from Fuzhou to Yanping. As soon as he arrived in Yanping, he received the news that Ainengqi had asked to surrender.
"Haha, what do you want, congratulations to the overseer for finally leveling the thief." Qian Fenglin laughed.
Wang Yin frowned and said, "Ainengqi has fallen, what about our plan?" “
Qian Fenglin said with a smile: "Ainengqi surrendered, our plan is simpler." As he spoke, he leaned into Wang Yin's ear and whispered softly.
Wang Yin's face changed, and after listening to Qian Fenglin's words, he took a long breath, "If you do this, will the consequences be too serious?" It's a big deal. “
Qian Fenglin said coldly: "It is precisely to make a big fuss, only when the world is turned upside down, Chongzhen will know how many catties and taels he has!" After the world is turned upside down, the King of Qi will be able to calmly clean up the situation, and from then on, the entire Ming Dynasty will be the King of Qi, and it will be ours!
After this battle, no one in the world can stop King Qi from ascending to the throne, and all resistance will be swept away! “
Wang Yin let out a long sigh and finally nodded slightly.
……
After Ainengqi begged for surrender, the approaching Ming army finally stopped the pace of attack. Wang Yin, the southeastern governor of the Ming Dynasty, issued an order and ordered Ai Nengqi to come to Yanping to surrender in person, and then discuss the details of the surrender. Ai Nengqi naturally did not want to go to the Yanping Ming army alone, he was afraid of falling for the Ming army's strategy.
"If you really surrender, Ai Nengqi should go to Yanping to ask the Inspector to surrender, otherwise it will be a delaying tactic!" This is the reply of the Ming army. Then, the Ming army continued to advance, and the troops reached ten miles outside Yong'an City, and fought several times, and the Western Army was defeated and retreated one after another, so they could only retreat in the small Yong'an City.
Seeing that the Ming army was surrounded in the depths and the fall of Yong'an was imminent, under the strong pressure of the Ming army, Ai Nengqi finally couldn't hold back and finally compromised. Handed over the army to his son Ai Chengye to command, Ai Nengqi went to Yanping Mansion alone to meet the supervisor Wang Yin.
Wang Yin appointed Qian Fenglin, the governor of Fujian, to take full responsibility for negotiating with Ainengqi.
……
"My more than 10,000 brothers have been fighting for many years, and they will not do anything but fight, so I hope that the court can keep them, give them a bite to eat, and promise that they will be loyal to the court and will fight for the court." Worried in his heart, Ainengchi made his own request. Keep the army in your hands, and only then will you have a chance to make a comeback.
Qian Fenglin looked at Ai Nengqi with a smile, and saw his intention at a glance, "Are there any other requirements?" General Ai can bring it up together. “
"No, as long as the imperial court can retain our army, my father and son are willing to fight for the imperial court, and now the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil everywhere, and it is time to employ people." Ai Nengqi said angrily.
Qian Fenglin nodded: "Okay, I know your request, I will report to the Inspector, and then give you a reply." “
After saying that, Qian Fenglin went out, and Ai Nengqi was placed in the pavilion, surrounded by the Ming army.
Ai Nengqi waited hopefully, and from Qian Fenglin's attitude, he seemed to see the hope of success in the deception.
However, in the next few days, no one negotiated with him, and Qian Fenglin did not even have a shadow. Ai Nengqi was finally anxious, he knew that he had been deceived by the Ming army, and he was extremely worried about the situation in Yong'an. Because he knew that there was not much food left in Yong'an City, and the army could collapse at any time.
Yong'an City, seeing that his father was gone and never returned, the Ming army still surrounded Yong'an to death, and the food in the city was almost strong, Ai Chengye was so anxious that he sent people out of the city to discuss with the Ming army and ask the Ming army to retreat.
"Retreat, it's impossible to retreat until you surrender!" Jin Shenghuan, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army in charge, sneered.
"But my general is negotiating with your commander, we are already planning to surrender, and I ask the officers and soldiers to retreat a little, don't force it too much." The people sent by Ai Chengye prayed.
"Until the results of the negotiations are out, our army will not retreat at all, unless you surrender unconditionally. Tell that Ai Chengye that if he still cares about Ai Nengqi's life, if he still thinks about the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, he will immediately go out of the city and surrender! Jin Shenghuan said coldly.
So, seeing that the food was exhausted and his father was gone, Ai Chengye, who was desperate, finally surrendered. The gate of Yong'an was opened, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Western Army, who had thrown away their weapons and armor, walked out of the city gate and assembled at the place designated by the Ming army.
Under the command of Jin Xin, the Ming army quickly marched into the city of Yong'an and completely occupied the city.
After getting the news that Yong'an had been ordered and Ai Chengye had surrendered, Qian Fenglin appeared in front of Ai Nengqi again.
And now Ainengqi's face is full of ashes, and he can no longer put forward any conditions, he has lost all his chips.
"General Ai, rest assured, since you have taken the initiative to surrender, the imperial court will not be responsible for your previous mistakes. The Governor has also agreed, the 10,000 people under your command will not be disbanded, but will be mixed with the 30,000 Ming army, and the general will be appointed as the general of Fujian, and you will lead the troops to garrison Fujian after the other armies withdraw from Fujian. Qian Fenglin's words surprised Ai Nengqi, he didn't expect it to turn around.
