Chapter 457: Cao Pi surrenders

After Zhong Xuan, the Optimus Pillar who has always supported Cao Pi, had a mental breakdown, there was no suspense about the rest of the matter, and without Zhong Xuan's strong bullet pressure, someone finally opened the palace gate and let the chaotic soldiers outside the palace enter the palace for military advice.

Most emperors are not unyielding creatures, and there are not many last emperors who have always been willing to live and die with Sheji, at least Cao Pi is not such a courageous person.

Like Cao Cao ~ Their generation of people who fight the country are more tough, most of them will resist to the end in this situation, and they will not give up until the end, even when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, they may rather commit suicide than surrender.

For typical cases, please refer to Xiang Yu's Wujiang self-killing, but Cao Pi is not the first generation to fight the world, but the second generation, belonging to the "second generation of kings"

This kind of person can be said to be born with ~ a golden soup spoon, please refer to Jia Baoyu's birth situation for details, they grew up in the hands of women since childhood, they have been clothed and fed since childhood, and their living environment is excellent, and they can be satisfied with whatever they want, and there has never been something they can't fight.

They have not experienced any strong winds and waves, and they have not endured hardships, so it is naturally impossible for this kind of person to have any backbone.

Although Cao Pi is good at writing, he is very afraid of death, so when the general trend has gone, when the rebels enter the palace to admonish the soldiers, Cao Pi can only accept the reality and promise to abdicate and surrender even if he is unwilling.

At this time, it was not long before noon, and a group of civil and military officials hurriedly surrounded Cao Pi out of the palace, rushed to the west gate, knelt down and asked the Han army to surrender.

Outside the city, Zhang Bao had already ordered someone to set up Keqiu to kill, and as soon as the time came, he began to bombard the west gate and the city wall on this side.

Jiang Wei's troops were also ready to charge, and their task was to wait for the Keqiu killing troops to bombard the Wei army on and around the city wall, and then grab the city wall as soon as possible, open the west gate as much as possible, and enlarge the troops into the city.

That's right, this is their backup plan, that's right, their backup plan is so simple, it's so rough, there is not much art of war, there is not much strategy, it is to first crush it with powerful firepower, and then launch a charge.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, when the Han army was ready to launch a strong attack, there was a sudden turn of genius, and the monarchs and ministers of Wei finally ran out of the city and surrendered.

Zhang Bao's tense heart finally relaxed, and his nuclear deterrence plan finally took effect.

Although, with the current military strength in his hands, there is no suspense about capturing Chang'an, but when he can not fight a tough battle, no one wants to fight.

After all, Chang'an is a big city with one of the largest numbers in the world, there are many defenders in it, and there are countless traps for defending the city, even if your own troops can capture this capital, the damage will definitely not be small.

The purpose of the Hong Army has always been to minimize casualties if it can reduce casualties, and to try to win by skill.

Like this time, it would be the best outcome to surrender without a fight.

Since Cao Pi has surrendered, there is nothing else to say, first Jiang Wei's troops drove in to take over the city defense, and after confirming the safety, Zhang Bao led the first division into the city to take over the city comprehensively.

During this period, there were also sporadic battles, some of which were initiated by diehards of the Wei State, and some of them were some ruffians and hooligans in the city who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, and these people were naturally quickly defeated by the two divisions of the Hong Army, eliminating the chaos in the bud and quickly restoring order in the market.

As for Cao Pi, Zhang Bao didn't embarrass him much, but found a big mansion, imprisoned him, his concubines, children and other Cao clansmen, and waited for Liu Hou's fate.

In addition to the clan, the treatment of officials at all levels of the Wei State was much better, and these people were also divided into two groups, the first group was the die-hard elements who had always supported Cao Pi and refused to surrender in the end, such as Zhong Xuan, who became criminal officials, and were also placed under house arrest waiting for Liu Hou's fate.

Another group of people accounted for the majority, they persuaded Cao Pi to abdicate and surrender, and there were armed rebellions, these people belonged to the pro-Shu Han camp, of course, it is also possible that they were just afraid of Shu Han, in any case, they finally chose the side of Shu Han.

Zhang Bao was polite to these people, did not restrict their freedom, and allowed them to go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.

However, although they were free, they were required to surrender all their personal armaments, and the number of servants in each household was limited to one to one.

That is to say, there are only as many servants as there are masters, and the surplus population must be handed over.

For example, if an official has four wives and concubines (the old society is evil, but I like it), and he has ten children, and he has an old lady who is still alive, and a cousin who lives at home, then there are seventeen people in their family, and the servants and the housekeeper can only keep a maximum of seventeen people, and only thirty-four people are left in the end of the huge mansion.

This is naturally because they are afraid that those big families will set up a name and hide the private armed forces such as thugs and martial artists as servants.

As long as the number of people is limited, even if the martial artist they hide is a top master, they are not afraid, no matter how high their martial arts are, they are afraid of kitchen knives, and even if they are not afraid of kitchen knives, they are always afraid of bullets.

This move naturally caused dissatisfaction among those large families, these people have long been accustomed to the life of slaves in groups, usually n slaves serve one person, and now on average there is only one per person, how is this enough?

What about the life of saying good clothes to reach out for food and open your mouth?

It is said that the five grains are not divided into four bodies and are not diligent, and every day is a day of eating and waiting for death?

However, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldn't help it, under the coercion of the muzzles of the black hole ~ hole and the bright blades of the Hong army soldiers, all those who dared to resist, or dared to say a word, were all taken down, and were placed under house arrest together with those criminal officials, and all their belongings were confiscated.

On this day, most of the big families in Chang'an City have become "Junjie"

-- Those who know the times are handsome, and they all obediently hand over the surplus population in their families, saving the lives of their families and thousands of family fortunes.

Zhang Bao's last few big families also secretly smacked their tongues, these people add up to more than 10,000 people, although not all of them are armed forces, including many maids, old servants and even children, but this number is also amazing enough.

So many people serve those big families, which shows how luxurious these people usually live.

A measure that Zhang Bao inadvertently took this time in order to control the situation in Chang'an City turned out to be a slave liberation movement.

These people had no human rights at all in the master's house, got up earlier than the chickens, slept later than the dogs, worked more than the donkeys, and ate worse than the pigs.

The master can beat and scold them at will, or even kill them, and most of them have no right to marry, and even if the master is gracious and allows them to marry and have children, the offspring they give birth to will still be slaves.

These slaves, who would never have come out, have undergone heavy changes in their lives since then, because of Zhang Bao's unintentional actions.

After Zhang Bao asked them to come over, he treated them the same as the defenders in the city, that is, they drove out of the city for reorganization.

When Cao Pi surrendered, there were no less than 100,000 Wei defenders in the city, and now these people have all become Zhang Bao's prisoners, since Zhang Bao has entered the city, of course it is impossible to put these people in the city, this is a fire ~ medicine barrel, if you are not careful, you will blow yourself up to the sky.

The safe way is to let them drive out of the city and camp outside the city for reorganization.

The Hong army guarded the gates, so that even if these Wei troops wanted to rebel, they would not be able to break through the gates of Chang'an City, and Zhang Bao in the city could rest easy.
