Chapter 90: You were born to be an emperor

Regarding Master Tai's words, Song Xuan was slightly surprised.

Sanfeng Zhenren means that he intends to completely tie the Wudang faction and the new dynasty together.

On the other hand, Zhang Wuji showed a relaxed look.

It can be seen that after the previous high-level Ming Sect disobeyed his orders, he was even more interested in power.

"Senior brother, I don't know what you plan to do with those surrendered Ming troops?" After a little silence, Zhang Wuji asked the question he was most concerned about now.

"What else can I do? They are all anti-Yuan rebels, but their positions are different. As long as they are honest and don't make trouble, they won't be too embarrassed! ”

Song Xuan said calmly: "It's you Mingjiao high-level people, for their own selfishness, the two armies have suffered countless casualties, and they are responsible for this responsibility!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at the sixth child and said, "Five scattered people, what is the situation now?" ”

The sixth man hurriedly said: "I have been surrounded by the army, I have laid down my arms and surrendered!" ”

Song Xuan smiled at Zhang Wuji and said, "With their martial arts, it is still very possible to sneak away, but I didn't expect to be willing to stay." ”

Zhang Wuji sighed and said: "Those of them are all well-known good men, and they have the courage to bear the consequences when they cause trouble.

It's a pity that they were too arrogant before, and the arrogance in their hearts can't allow them to surrender without a fight. ”

Song Xuan smiled noncommittally and said, "Senior brother, do you think these people should stay or kill?" ”

"I naturally hope that my senior brother can show mercy to his subordinates and spare their lives." Zhang Wuji hurriedly said: "The Wusan people are all strong in martial arts, and the Five Elements Banner is even better at training and arranging formations, if they die like this, it would be a pity." ”

Song Xuan didn't answer directly, but said to Lao Liu: "Order, bring all the high-level Ming Sect over!" ”

The sixth man took the order and left, and after half a pillar of incense, a column of 1,000-strong cavalry came quickly with more than ten people.

The first few people were the five scattered people who refused to open the door and surrender at the head of the city before.

"Several, meet again!" Song Xuan's eyes were bright, and he said: "In the past, I said goodbye to the bright, but I didn't expect to see you again today, but it was a sword soldier again, it's really a pity!" ”

Among the five scattered people, the Tieguandao people were the most anxious, and immediately spoke: "The winner is the king and the loser Kou, a few of us didn't leave, we just stayed for you to kill."

All the mistakes are our fault, and please Song Shuai for the sake of us taking the initiative to ask for death, don't be angry with those Ming troops who have surrendered. ”

Song Xuan waved his hand and said, "Since the commander allows the Ming army to surrender, he will no longer be angry with them." But what do you and others think in your hearts, are you willing to be an official in my new dynasty and contribute to the people of the world? ”

The monk was ashamed and said, "We are the general of the defeated army, and the marshal still dares to use us with confidence?" ”

"What's not to dare to do?"

Song Xuan laughed and said: "Today's battle in the capital, my Jinling army can be regarded as winning the world without hindrance." At the beginning of the new dynasty, all kinds of talents are naturally needed.

Moreover, although the Tartars fled to Mobei, their strength in the north was still very strong, and they had to continue to use troops in Mobei in the future.

If you are really willing to surrender, this commander will not be guilty of the past, and he can even promise you to continue to lead the troops to fight in the grassland! ”

"This ......" Wusan people suddenly hesitated, they were in the mentality of going to death before they came, and no one expected that the future emperor of the new dynasty would dare to surrender them.

Seeing that a few people were still hesitating, Song Xuan pointed in the direction of the outer city and said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many people died in this battle?" ”

The five scattered people turned pale, and they all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

"Let me tell you, the Ming army has as many as 120,000 casualties, this is still a preliminary count, and the real number is definitely higher than this!"

"They should have enjoyed the treatment of the founding heroes, and they could get military land, money and even titles! But all of this, because of your selfish refusal to open the city and submit to obedience, is all gone! ”

The heads of the Ming Sect were lowered.

Song Xuan looked directly at a few people and said loudly: "There are some things that can't be solved by death!" You have lost the meritorious treatment of the soldiers of the Ming army, then you have to bear this responsibility!

Their merits, their titles, have been lost in your hands, then you have the responsibility to lead them back from the grassland, from the Western Regions, from the Southern Barbarians, and from the Dongying!

Otherwise, even if you die now, you are not qualified! Because you still owe a debt of hundreds of thousands of brothers! ”

When the words fell, everyone in the Ming Sect became short of breath.

The first to react was the Five Elements Banner holding the flag, and they knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed: "We, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live!" ”

They knelt and bowed, choosing to surrender.

The five scattered people glanced at each other, and then knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing in submission.

They were originally unyielding in their temperament, but one thing Song Xuan said was right, they were carrying a debt of more than 100,000 Ming army brothers, and they had to pay back this debt!

"Get up!"

Song Xuan glanced at Zhang Wuji and said, "You lead them, walk around the city, find out the Ming army who are hiding in the dark and have not surrendered, and let them surrender as soon as possible!" ”

Zhang Wuji naturally would not refuse, and immediately helped up the high-level Ming Sect such as the Wusanren one by one, and then walked out under the guidance of a group of Tsing Yi guards.

From beginning to end, Zhang Sanfeng just stood aside and didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Zhang Wuji and the others left, this veteran who had lived for more than a hundred years, smiled and said: "Qingshu, you are really a natural emperor."

Before he sat on the throne, he already had the idea of checks and balances of power. ”

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Oh? What does Master Tai mean by this? ”

Zhang Sanfeng laughed and said, "You kid, pretend to be a lake with me!"

I know that the generals under you, Lan Yu, Xu Da and others, are all from Fengyang, Anqing, and all of them are related to each other.

The concentration of military power in a small group is a taboo for monarchs!

You should have also seen this, so you specially recruited the top leaders of the Ming army and let them enter the court as generals, right? ”

Song Xuan nodded, "Master Tai's eyes are as wise as a torch, my little trick still can't hide from your old man." ”

"Actually, I'm not afraid of anything, I have that self-confidence, as long as I am in power for one day, the civil and military officials under my hands will not be able to make any waves."

"I don't care, but I have to think about the kings of the future.

It is better to prevent problems before they happen and solve them by checks and balances than to kill the heroes of the founding emperors of the previous dynasty after they ascended the throne, right? ”

Zhang Sanfeng laughed, "You don't have a daughter-in-law yet, so now you start thinking about future generations." Actually, I don't think you need to stress too much.

With your qualifications, it is inevitable to be promoted to the innate realm, and your sons and grandsons may not be able to survive you at that time! ”
