Chapter 189: The Second Siege (2) -- Kill them all

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and the interior of the Ruan Dynasty is not monolithic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoSince it can't be done openly, let's come in the dark.

Therefore, Daming sent people to negotiate with Ruan Wencheng, the chief general of the Chinese army stationed at the southern city gate, and asked him to cooperate with Daming. This person is a supporter of the fourth prince Nguyen Phuc Danh, and he is also an old minister of Nguyen Phuc Anh. Both civil and military, in the battle against the Xishan Dynasty, made great achievements. What's more, he sent someone to assassinate Li Wenyue, and he had a deep grudge against him. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to resolve between the two.

Although they have made peace now, they are still very guarded in the south and the north. Da Ming also supports Ruan Fu Dan and is consistent with him in his political stance. From this point of view, it is very likely that he will be moved. And Da Ming also promised very tempting and confusing conditions. For example, after the deed is completed, he will be made one of the auxiliary ministers, giving him the power and glory he dreams of.

When the envoy of the Ming Dynasty said these conditions, Ruan Van Cheng did not immediately agree, but he did not say anything. Instead, he politely sent the messenger of the Ming Dynasty out of the country.

In fact, in the factional battle with Le Van Yue, the Four Princes faction represented by Nguyen Van Thanh was already in a very unfavorable situation. After all, Li Wenyue has musket troops, and he completely crushes and beats them, these cold-armed troops.

If it hadn't been for Da Ming's sudden call, they would have been defeated long ago. Listening to Daming's conditions now, Ruan Wencheng is really a little moved. It's just that Da Ming's way of controlling the internal affairs of the Ruan Dynasty made him a little repulsed.

So he gathered the people in the faction and told Da Ming's conditions and his own concerns. In the end, after some discussion, most people agreed to accept Daming's conditions. Only a few loyal vassals objected to this. It is believed that the Ruan Dynasty can only be the Ruan Dynasty of the Yue people, not the Ruan Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. He would rather surrender to Li Wenyue than bow to the Ming Dynasty.

But listening to their discussion, Ruan Wencheng already had a plan in his heart. Because in his opinion, if Da Ming doesn't retreat for a day, they can't go out for a day. There is nothing to eat here, and even if you persist, most of them will starve to death. Maybe, in the end, he will become a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty.

So why don't you accept Daming's conditions and get the rights and glory you want? Anyway, they are all courtiers, but they have changed their masters.

Thinking about this, he killed those anti-Ming courtiers on the spot.

Those who agreed, too, broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he guessed Ruan Wencheng's thoughts, otherwise he would have become a ghost under the knife.

Immediately afterwards, Nguyen Van Thanh sent secret envoys to the camp of the Ming Dynasty and informed them that three red lanterns would be hung at the head of the city at three o'clock, which was a signal that the city gate was wide open.

Liu Weiguo was also very happy when he received the news. Let the army pretend to bombard the city gate, and feint several times on a small scale, not to give Li Wenyue a chance to breathe, and lest he see something strange.

In the afternoon, thick dark clouds weighed heavily over Hue City. Lightning and thunder roared, as if the sky was about to be torn apart. This is the rainy season in Vietnam, and like the wet season in Minh Kyong City, it rains almost every day. But the difference is that the rain in Mingjing City is relatively light and does not last long. Generally, it only takes five or six hours. In Vietnam, the rain was relatively heavy and lasted for a long time. As soon as it gets up, it's dense and endless.

This ghost weather made Liu Weiguo a little angry. After all, the Ming Dynasty is a pure musket unit, although it is waterproof, it still has a great impact on the accuracy and power of the musket.

Thankfully, the rain showed signs of subsiding after a while. By the time it got ugly, the sky was completely clear. Half of the crescent moon sprinkled a hazy ghostly light, which made people look a little unreal. The smell of burning in the air was also instantly cleared. Let the mercenaries sigh, finally they can stop smelling the smell of evil hearts.

As soon as the ugly hour arrived, three red lanterns were hung on the city wall on time. Liu Weiguo, who had been waiting, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The city gate made a dull grinding sound and slowly opened to the sides. The Ming army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed in.

At the same time, Miyagi. In the concubine's bedroom, a large group of men and women dressed in the costumes of palace maids and eunuchs stood in eleven rows with solemn faces. They hold their heads high, their postures are straight, and they exude an iron and blood aura that people can't ignore.

These are all eyeliners planted in the palace by the Intelligence Department, and some of them have infiltrated in recent days. Tonight, they all gathered in the concubine's dormitory for the task assigned by the Ming Dynasty.

As early as when Concubine Xiang entered Ruan Fuying's harem, Daming's Intelligence Department specially explained to her. When necessary, the royal family of the Nguyen Dynasty can be wiped out. This is also to prevent someone from taking advantage of the royal family of the Nguyen Dynasty in the future and making a big fuss.

Now the guards of the Ruan Dynasty are all looking at Da Ming. This ignores the situation in the palace and provides an opportunity for them to do it. In addition, Concubine Xiang had learned that Daming would enter the city tonight, so she wanted to cook the royal family of the Ruan Dynasty for Daming in advance.

When the time comes, it can be said that people are dying from internal attacks and reproaches, and they will shirk the responsibility cleanly!

After explaining a few words, the concubine ordered someone to carry out two wooden boxes from the palace. Untied the copper lock, opened the lid of the box, and a cold light immediately shook people so much that they couldn't even open their eyes.

After getting used to it, everyone stepped forward in turn and took out a longsword with a cold light.

"Death to those who block the Ming Dynasty!" , Xiang Concubine raised her long sword and said in a low voice. The others also suppressed their voices and said in unison. pushed open the door of the palace and rushed to the residences of the concubines with an indifferent face. In particular, the place where the princes lived was the focus of their attacks.

The palace maids and eunuchs who stood in the middle were all killed. As a result, a miserable cry soon sounded in Miyagi. A large number of palace concubines and concubines, with their hair scattered, didn't even have time to put on shoes and clothes, so they fled out of the palace in horror.

After learning of the shocking changes in the palace, Li Wenyue rushed over with troops as soon as possible. Those princes are his dependence, if there are three long and two short, then he will not even have a dependence.

But as soon as he entered the palace, he found that the situation was not right. Everywhere was quiet, and the ground washed by the heavy rain was wet. The small puddles also reflect the quiet cold light. One corpse after another lay on the ground, all of them with a sword to seal their throats.

He hurried to the residence of the princes, and the soldiers who were guarding it also had their throats cut. When they got inside, the grandmothers, concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs who were raised were all lying on the ground. Those little princes were not spared.

It was a massacre, a massacre against the royal family of the Nguyen Dynasty.

Just when he was angry about this, another soldier panicked and said that the Ming army had entered the city.

Li Wenyue was immediately surprised and couldn't close her mouth. He was puzzled, how could Da Ming enter the city so quietly. "Could it be that it's Nguyen Van Cheng?" , he subconsciously doubted Ruan Wencheng. But he sent his own people to keep an eye on him, and he didn't reveal the slightest rumor beforehand.

The soldier confirmed his suspicion that it was indeed Nguyen Van Thanh and Da Ming who had colluded with each other and put him in.

didn't have time to think about it, Li Wenyue took the soldiers and hurried back the same way. But before they left the palace, there were bursts of majestic shouts of killing, from far to near. When they arrived at the palace gate, a column of soldiers with torches was connected into a fire dragon. and the palace gate, only 100 meters apart.
