Chapter Seventy-One: Na Surrender

When Arun returned to the city of Ava, the Burmese soldiers on the tower of the city hung themselves on the tower with a rope tied to a basket, and when they went down to the tower, there was already a fast horse waiting here, and Arun turned over and got on the horse and drove to the palace at high speed.

After seeing Wang Mangbai, Alun lied that the new first emperor had accepted the begging surrender, and promised to leave the lives of Wang Mangbai's family, Wang Mangbai showed joy, patted Alun's shoulder and said: "This time I have worked hard for you, and this king will never fail you." Go back and rest first, and come to the palace at night to discuss the surrender. ”

Alun sneered in his heart, nodded and walked out of the palace, went back to the house and gathered a few family members to give a few words, and several family members understood, and hurriedly went to the mansions of various princes.

"Everyone, I called you here today to talk to you about hundreds of lives, and after that, everyone can be promoted and make a fortune, and everyone who is not good at being present will be killed." Aaron sat on his chair and swept the six or seven generals gathered in the hall, and said calmly.

"Right in politics, what the hell is going on?" The generals glanced at each other, all puzzled, and a slender general stood up and asked aloud.

Aaron's eyes flashed, and he got up and shouted, "Death is coming, and you don't know what happened?" Let's go! There's nothing to say to you pig and dog stupid people, you guys go quickly, anyway, everyone is a dead end, go back and explain the future. ”

"Ah Jiu, send off!"

The generals couldn't help but look at each other, Alun is Wang Mangbai's subordinate think tank, good at scheming and decisive, and won Wang Mangbai's trust, Alun said that everyone is dead, and it is not groundless to think about it, where do people dare to go, not waiting for Alun to send off guests, there are several generals who are busy saying: "Right to participate in politics, we are all reckless, we don't understand any reason, and I hope that the adults who participate in politics will not give advice." ”

Alun accepted it when he saw it, Shi Shiran sat back in his place, waved his hand and scolded the housekeeper who entered the hall to send off the guests, and told him about going out of the city to beg for surrender one by one, and only halfway through the conversation, someone among the generals showed joy and said: "Since the new first emperor is willing to surrender, what are we afraid of?" I've been worried about the Ming army breaking the city these days, since the new first emperor is willing to save the king's life, I think we won't blame the Ming army. ”

Aaron reprimanded: "The meaning of the new first emperor is very clear, we only have two ways now, one is the return of the king, the new first emperor spared the life of the king, but he wants to take the people of our cronies, all of them are the crimes of Ling Chi, and the family will be wiped out." ”

"Huh?" The generals exclaimed, and some shouted: "The Ming dog will not give us a way to live, let's advise the king to fight to the death with the Ming army." ”

"Yes, fight, Ming Dog deceives people too much." Someone chimed in.

"Don't make any noise, the right political officer said that we have two roads, let's listen to what the second one is."

Alun said indifferently: "The second one is a bit of a big rebellion, the new first emperor means that if we can kill the king, with his head to open the city and surrender, not only will we not be held accountable for our previous sins, but also let us be promoted and rich." On the one hand, it is to save the life of the king and kill our people, on the other hand, it is to protect our people and kill the king, everyone, at this point, Aaron will not hide it, the morale of the Ming army outside the city is like a rainbow, hundreds of Francophone cannons can be transported in a few days, and the rebel armies from all over the country have gathered, and this lonely city will not last long. ”

The generals kept their mouths shut for a moment, and the hall was silent, everyone looked at their companions in the hope of getting an answer, betrayal also requires courage for most people, and the generals are hoping to find this courage in the faces of their comrades.

"General Civil Division, your duty is to guard the palace, are your subordinates willing to obey your orders?" Aaron's eyes were already shining with a smile of victory, and he turned his face away to ask a black-faced general.

The black-faced general nodded and said obediently: "Others dare not guarantee it, but there is a battalion of men and horses that I have personally trained, and I may be able to transfer them to guard the palace tonight." ”

"That's good." Aaron nodded.

The hall was silent again, with occasional awkward coughs.

That night, a lot of changes quietly took place in Ava City, the city gates and the palace defense were changed frequently, and the curfew guards also increased a lot.

Alun walked at the head of the team, behind him were seven or eight Wang Mangbai's henchmen and Burmese generals, and then dozens of palace guards, everyone's faces looked calm as usual, and after a closer look, they felt that they were preoccupied, and when they arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Toulon in front of him stopped and said in a low voice: "Have you really thought clearly?" We don't have many opportunities, and if we miss tonight, we'll die without a place to bury. ”

"Don't worry, we are not women, and there will never be a woman's kindness." Someone whispered in the darkness.

"Let's go." Aaron raised his legs, waited for the guards guarding the palace gate to make a loud announcement, and entered the palace with a group of people.

Wang Mangbai was already sitting restlessly on the Golden Palace, and when he saw that everyone was coming, he hurriedly said: "The right to participate in politics and sit down with the generals, today this king's edict is to come to discuss the matter of surrender in detail." ”

Alun looked forward to both sides of the palace, already full of a group of Burmese officials, silent, these Burmese officials are not Wang Mangbai's officials, they are all courtiers of the former king Wang Mangda, after Wang Mangbai usurped the throne, although he vigorously killed some of the cronies of the previous king, but most of the Burmese officials escaped the catastrophe and became the decoration of the palace.

In order to distinguish it from the officials who followed Wang Mangbai from other officials, Wang Mangbai specially set up a row of seats under the palace, but Alun stood still in the hall, and the seven or eight generals behind him were also silent and motionless.

Wang Mangbai sensed that something was wrong, and said, "Aaron, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It doesn't mean anything else." Aaron's eyes were like poisonous snakes against Wang Mangbai above the palace: "It's just that I want to borrow the king's head to protect the lives of my whole family, generals, what are you still doing, there is no way to retreat when it comes to this, and you don't do it." ”

The black-faced general beside Arun heard Aaron's signal and shouted, "Come on, cut down Wang Mangbai, the traitor." ”

For a while, a group of Burmese soldiers armed with scimitars suddenly poured into the hall, shouting and rushing to the Dan Palace.

"You... Are you going to kill the king? Wang Mangbai had no way out, he drank with a white face, and several Burmese knives had already slashed obliquely, and blood was splashed on the spot.

The hall immediately became chaotic, and the unaware Burmese officials were already frightened, and some people wanted to escape from the palace, and some boldly stretched their necks to see if Wang Mang was so angry that he was in the Dan Palace? Some shouted loudly, others cheered.

Alun walked up to the Dan Hall in three steps and two steps, kicked Wang Mangbai's corpse, and raised his arms and said: "The rebel king Mangbai has been ambushed, and the royal division led by His Majesty the New Emperor of the Kingdom is outside the city. ”

His Royal Highness, the Burmese officials and generals agreed with a bang, and under the leadership of Aaron, they poured out of the palace one after another.

Early the next morning.

The city of Ava, shrouded in white mist, hung a flag, the city gate was wide open, and hundreds of Burmese officials cut their chests and cut their hands with thorns on their backs.

There was already a herald at the camp of the Ming army, and the herald rushed to the camp to report. Zhu Jun summoned all the generals to the camp, let people arrange the surrender matters, until the fog dissipated in the early morning, it was not ready, the three drums were finished, Zhu Jun took the servants to ride horses from the camp poured out, on their left and right wings, it was the mountain battalion led by the filial marquis Li Xiao and the Shenji battalion led by the marquis Mu Jianming to guard.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." A cadre of Burmese officials kneeling at the gate of the city, Alun kneeled thousands, both hands handed over a cowhide lacquered book to the captain in front of Zhu Jun's horse, the captain turned to Zhu Jun on the horse, Zhu Jun flipped through the hand, the content of the book is written in Han and Burmese, which is just some of our deep sins, Your Majesty Wang Shi hung the pot to help the world, hanging the people to fight crimes, and then scolded Wang Mang Bai Dufu and the people thieves how to coerce themselves These ministers have done some bad things that have lost their conscience, and now the bandit leader has been punished, ask His Majesty the Emperor for forgiveness and so on.
