At noon the next day, everyone rushed to Yiliang County. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Yunshan was a little hungry, and just as he was about to get off the carriage, he saw Wang Minyun, Li Kaifang, Luo Qiongshu, Fan Ruzeng and others waiting by the carriage.

It turned out to be Li Kaifang and Luo Qiongshu

Liu Shengbang lifted the curtain of the car door and let Feng Yunshan get out of the carriage. Wang Minyun hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Holy King, Senior Commander Li and Senior Commander Luo, they said that there is something important to report. ”

"Oh, I haven't arrived in Kunming City yet, what's the big deal?" Feng Yunshan looked at Li Kaifang and Luo Qiongshu, and behind them, there were two unfamiliar faces.

Wang Minyun hurriedly stepped forward and approached Feng Yunshan and whispered: "It is said that there are two prefects, on the order of Wu Zhenqi, the governor of Yunan, on behalf of a group of Manchu officials in Kunming City, who came to meet the Holy King. ”

As soon as the words fell, Luo Qiongshu stepped forward and let the two people behind him out.

"The criminal official Ji Haiming, the prefect of Huijiang Prefecture, and Xu Jin, the prefect of Wuding Prefecture, visited the Holy King! May the Holy King Chitose Chitose Chitose! The two people behind Luo Qiongshu, one fat and one thin, fell to the ground and saluted in unison.

"It turned out to be Ji Zhifu and Xu Zhizhou, let's be polite." Feng Yunshan waited for them to kneel for a small half pillar of incense before he seemed to come back to his senses and let them get up slowly.

Feng Yunshan did it on purpose, the first time they met, he couldn't be too polite to them! According to his estimates, these two people must have been sent by Wu Zhenqi to test him, and the more indifferent they were, the more they had no bottom in their hearts, so as not to put forward any conditions.

On the way from Lunanzhou City to Yiliang County early this morning, Feng Yunshan invited Li Kaifang and Luo Qiongshu to ride in a carriage together.

For these two generals, who helped him capture Guangxi, and made a lot of contributions, Feng Yunshan naturally had to take a good look. Of course, by the way, learn some about the capture of Yunnan.

Li Kaifang introduced that there were more than 20,000 Qing soldiers and regimental warriors in Kunming, and in addition to Wu Zhenqi, the governor of Yunnan, there were also prefects of several state capitals, and more than 10 generals such as general staff and guerrillas, who guarded Kunming City so much that it was difficult to conquer for a while.

Moreover, the city of Kunming has thick walls, strong defenses, and the captive army did not bring large artillery, and the surrounding states and counties conquered were all abandoned by the Qing soldiers themselves, and the artillery was blown up or buried early, and the dozens of artillery pieces captured were also small earthen cannons, pretending to defend the city was barely okay, and it was useless to attack the fortified city of Kunming City.

Later, Luo Qiongshu and others tried to use the crypt to attack the city, but as soon as they dug down, they found that there were many dark stones around the city of Kunming, and the excavation of the hole was not dozens of meters, and they encountered a boulder that could not be excavated.

That's when Wu Zhenqi put forward a condition to urgently report Feng Yunshan's visit to Kunming.

The two Manchu officials didn't dare to get up, even if their legs and knees were numb, they didn't dare to rub them, but they smiled on their faces and said cautiously: "Holy King, the criminal official is here to ask the Holy King to surrender!" The criminal official was ordered by Lord Wu of Futai to pass on the word for him, Lord Wu is willing to lead a cadre of officials and soldiers in the city to surrender to the Holy King, and hope that the Holy King will accept it! ”

Feng Yunshan was a little surprised, didn't he let this king promise you two conditions? This king has just come here, and the other conditions have not yet been spoken, and you are willing to surrender?

"Your Lord Wu is not very big, you have to come in person with this king, and you have to promise to let him still be the governor of a province, so you are willing to submit to the holy country. How? Changed your mind now? Feng Yunshan's face was slightly cold, and he chuckled: "Say, what are the conditions offered by you Lord Wu and yourself?" ”

Hearing Feng Yunshan say this, the two of them trembled with fright, and they were already kneeling on the ground, but they were both sticking to the ground at this time, and begged for mercy again and again: "The sinner doesn't dare!" Sinners don't dare! Holy King, how dare the sinners open any conditions! ”

Feng Yunshan smiled contemptuously, these Manchu officials are used to being slaves, and their servility is really heavy, and if they are a little stronger, they will be soft.

"In that case, you should go back to the city of Kunming and tell Lord Wu and the rest of the adults to open the city gate and come out and surrender. This king is waiting at Banqiao Station in the east of the city! ”

"Holy King, I don't know if the criminal officer and the others and Lord Wu's family are ......?" Ji Haiming, the prefect of Huijiang, asked in a low voice.

Wang Minyun next to him glared at him and shouted: "Bold fanatics, you dare to make conditions with the Holy King!" Wait for your family, you have your own arrangements! ”

This was something Feng Yunshan had agreed with Wang Minyun in advance, and deliberately asked him to reveal it to dispel their doubts.

According to the performance of the two, they wanted to surrender, but they were worried about causing trouble to their families, so they had such worries. Moreover, he also wants to keep his official position, but Feng Yunshan will not agree to this, at least, he will not let them remain as officials in the same place, so as not to cause chaos.

The two kowtowed again and again, claiming that they didn't dare, and promised to go back to report to Wu Zhenqi.

Just about to leave, Feng Yunshan stopped the two again: "Two adults, I don't know if Lord Wu can control the situation in the city?" If anyone does not want to return to the Holy Kingdom, he may wish to let the king know and send troops to slaughter him. ”

When the two of them heard Feng Yunshan's murderous words, their faces changed, and they hurriedly said: "Holy King, rest assured, most of the adults in the city are the same as Lord Wu, they don't want to lose their lives for the Manchu Qing Dynasty in vain, and they are all willing to return to the Holy Kingdom." The few banner people who didn't open their eyes had been sent by Lord Wu to watch them. ”

When Feng Yunshan heard this, his heart fell, it seemed that the general trend of Manchu Halal had gone, and there were not many loyal ministers, except for the governor of Yungui named Hengchun.

Li Kaifang sent someone to send the two back to the city. Feng Yunshan ordered to continue the march towards Kunming.

In the evening, I spent another night resting in a small town. Li Kaifang and Luo Qiongshu rushed back to the barracks first to arrange for tomorrow's surrender.

Waiting for the Holy King's month, although the Second Division and the Sixth Division did not attack Kunming City, they were not idle. In the second army, hundreds of thousands of catties of copper have been searched around Kunming, and dozens of copper cannons have been cast by craftsmen themselves.

Once Wu Zhenqi and others broke the contract, and the Qing army in the city surrendered without opening the door, the Second Division and the Sixth Division prepared to launch a general attack, using the newly cast bronze cannon to forcibly attack the city, even if the cost was greater, to capture Kunming.

It is estimated that Wu Zhenqi in the city also knew the intention of the captive army trapped outside the city, so he reluctantly agreed to surrender to the Holy Kingdom.

Early the next morning, everyone continued to hurry, and after walking for two hours, they arrived at the Banqiao Post Station that Feng Yunshan said.

I saw that around the entire post station, thousands of soldiers of the captive army were besieged, and the army was neat and tidy, and there was a solemn atmosphere.

Seeing Feng Yunshan's carriage arrive, Li Kaifang and Luo Qiongshu, who had been waiting in front of the post station for a long time, stepped forward to greet Feng Yunshan.

"Holy King, Wu Zhenqi and other Qing Demon Descending Officials are kneeling in front of you to welcome your arrival." Li Kaifang said excitedly, pointing behind him, far away, Feng Yunshan looked down, and saw that the official road outside the post station was densely packed with people kneeling, and on both sides of the official road, there were soldiers of the begging army armed with knives and guns.

There are tens of thousands of people on the entire official road, and they are endless, extending into the distance, which is spectacular.

"Hey, this pomp is not small!" Feng Yunshan's heart sank, wouldn't it be from Kunming City to this Banqiao Station a few miles outside the city?

So many people, organized one morning, knelt densely on the official road to greet themselves, surrender to the Holy Country, this Wu Zhenqi has a very strong organizational ability! Feng Yunshan couldn't help but be a little glad, if this Wu Zhenqi could organize all these people to fight against the captives with this kind of organizational efficiency, he was afraid that the captives would have to spend a lot of money to capture Kunming City.

It seems that it has really surrendered!

Feng Yunshan was also a little excited: "Go, Brother Li, Brother Luo, go with this king to surrender!" ”

Liu Shengbang and Fan Ruzeng tensed their nerves at the moment, leading dozens of palace guards and spies to keep an eye on the surroundings and protect Feng Yunshan.

Finally, when they arrived at the official road outside the post station, the leaders knelt on the ground, and when they saw Feng Yunshan approaching, under the leadership of the middle person, they shouted one after another: "The sinners welcome the Holy King!" We will return to the Holy Kingdom! ”

Immediately afterwards, the crowd of people kneeling on the official road shouted: "Welcome to the Holy King!" We will return to the Holy Kingdom! ”

The sound came and went, rolling continuously from the post station to the city of Kunming, and it was repeated dozens of times like an echo.

The Qing soldiers of the entire Kunming City have all surrendered to the Holy Country!

The leader kneeling in the front row was a slightly thin old man, who looked to be in his sixties, wearing a plain robe, kneeling in the loess of the official road, it was Wu Zhenqi, the governor of Yunnan.

Feng Yunshan took a step forward, ready to help him up, and said, "Lord Wu has worked hard! The adults are well aware of the righteousness, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, avoid the people of Kunming from the poison of war, save tens of thousands of lives, and the merits are immeasurable! ”

"The Holy King has praised it! The villain is guilty, the villain worked hard for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, surrendered late, and tried in vain to block the car with his mantis arm and resist the heavenly soldiers, which is really a crime that deserves death! Wu Zhenqi insisted on kneeling on the ground, and after performing the nine bows, he got up with the support of Liu Shengbang on the side: "The villain represents the 30,000 soldiers and millions of people in Yunnan in Kunming City, thank the Holy King for his grace not to kill, and are willing to submit to the Holy Kingdom and serve the Holy King as the Lord!" ”

Feng Yunshan was overjoyed, held Wu Zhenyan's hands and said, "Lord Wu's move is very good!" ”
