Chapter 614: Jiangnan Enters My Sleeve (4)
"Great victory! The imperial court heavenly soldiers went north, and the Jiangnan rebel army did not dare to fight again, and they surrendered to the imperial court on the eighth day of the first month of this month! ”
"Great victory! The imperial army advanced into Yangzhou and besieged the city for five days, forcing the defenders of Yangzhou to surrender. On the fifteenth of this month, the entire territory of Jiangnan has been returned to the control of the imperial court! ”
A fast horse carrying personnel galloped on various official roads in the south of the Yangtze River, Lubu reported the victory, and spread the succession of good news to various places, so as to stabilize the hearts of all parties, but also to boost the confidence of their own soldiers.
This was a decision that Sun Ning made quickly after receiving these two good news in Jinling in the middle of winter. Because he knew that not only did he need to receive such news, but the entire Jiangnan, whether it was the local people or the soldiers who entered from the southwest, were also looking forward to such good news.
After nearly a year of forbearance planning and hard work, today, it is finally waiting for it to bear fruit.
But all this still has to wait until today, watching the tens of thousands of soldiers being half-escorted into Jinling City, standing on a high place, waiting for Sun Ning, who was surrendered, really relieved.
Everything has finally become a fact, and there will be no more changes and repetitions.
At the head of the procession were dozens of generals tied to their horses, who could only shake as their horses moved.
At this time, they also saw Sun Ning standing upright at the head of Jinling City, wearing a dragon robe crown, which made them in a trance, and their hearts were full of complicated emotions.
During this period of time, they had more or less contact with Sun Ning, and several of them even had considerable friendships with him.
But who would have thought that this young man who looked at him with outstanding ability and clever and ruthless means would be His Majesty the Emperor Dayue who would always be mentioned by everyone, but he didn't think so?
And what is even more unexpected is that he actually made the entire Jiangnan people fall for his discordant plan in a quiet manner, and finally let everyone lose at his hands and become a prisoner of the order.
At this time, they could only look up at His Majesty the Emperor who was standing high above the city, even if they had great dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts, they could only accept that they were losers.
Not only himself, but also his entire family's survival, honor and disgrace are only in the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor.
Dismount, prostrate, prostrate......
Everyone is like a marionette, ordered by the generals around them to do what a subservient should do. And with the statements of these leading generals, the tens of thousands of troops in the rear naturally had no pressure at all, and they all obediently prostrated their heads and bowed to the emperor standing high in the city.
Then, Chen Qingyun and other generals quickly stepped forward, and also saluted and reported loudly under the city: "Your Majesty, the ministers have lived up to their mission, and finally took Yangzhou and fought the Jiangnan rebellion." This time, a total of 87,624 rebel troops were captured, and more than 300,000 people in Yangzhou were captured. ”
As he reported this, the surrounding officers and soldiers of the Southwest Army let out a tsunami-like "long live" sound, all the soldiers were full of pride and passion, and all of them threw all their previous worries and worries out of the clouds.
At this moment, Sun Ning's status in their hearts is like a god and Buddha, as long as His Majesty the Emperor has another will, it is to let them jump into the Yangtze River immediately, to cut off the turbulent Yangtze River, these soldiers will not hesitate at all.
Sun Ning could also clearly feel the trust and reverence from the soldiers under his command, which made his mood also agitated.
At the same time, he also felt a burst of heat in his chest, as if a golden light was constantly condensing and forming.
It's been a long time, it's been a long time since the pale gold orb in his chest has changed.
Unexpectedly, at this time, this golden ball actually changed again, and it was blazing like fire, and the boiling heat rushed towards Sun Ning's limbs like flowing water, making him feel a burst of comfort, and swept away the fatigue of not being able to get a good rest these days because of dealing with the trivial affairs of all parties in Jiangnan.
Obviously, the golden ball in this body is related to his progress in regaining the Great Yue World, and the successful victory of Jiangnan this time has made it have a qualitative change.
It's just that the current Sun Ning didn't bother to appreciate this change in detail, but quickly gathered his mind, looked at the army below again, slowly stretched out his hands, and pressed down.
Immediately, with Sun Ning's hands pressed, the cheers under the city had stopped, and no longer heard the slightest human voice.
Only the whistling wind still echoed outside the city, blowing all the clouds in the sky in all directions, allowing the sunlight to shine more fully on the city, and shining Sun Ning's body as bright as gold.
"Soldiers, you are all great contributors to the capture of Jiangnan this time. I am deeply grateful, and the court will certainly not forget you and treat you badly. Next, the imperial court will definitely reward you in many ways according to the merits you have made before! ”
With this pause, the soldiers around also knelt down in unison, and there was another shout of "Long live", and the morale of the soldiers was raised to a new height.
Sun Ning pressed his hand again before continuing to speak. His voice didn't seem to be too powerful, but it could spread far away, so that countless soldiers and civilians inside and outside the city could hear it clearly, as if he was talking in everyone's ears.
"But don't get carried away with this victory, and don't slack off because of your satisfaction. The imperial court has only taken a small part of the Yangtze River, and in the north, there are still many strong enemies, and there are still too many of our citizens waiting for us to save!
"So soldiers, we should be even more vigorous in the future, and forge ahead and move forward bravely for the revival of our great world!"
After Sun Ning finished saying this, there was another burst of cheers, and all the soldiers were full of fighting spirit and belief in victory, and they all roared loudly: "Your Majesty is mighty!" The court will win! ”
After they vented for a while, Sun Ning looked at the captives: "As for the local soldiers and generals in Jiangnan. The vast majority of you are only deceived and driven by others to become enemies of the court. Therefore, I will not punish everyone for this, as long as you repent and reform from now on, and fight for the country loyally from now on, I will also treat you equally, so that you can also go out with the imperial army to be a good future! ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly broke off again: "Come on, untie all the ropes on their bodies!" ”
The captives were roped all the way to Jinling to prevent them from escaping or resisting.
Now, His Majesty the Emperor actually ordered them to be unraveled, which made everyone stunned.
But soon, some of the soldiers understood the emperor's true intentions, and they quickly stepped forward, drew their swords, and cut them down, breaking the ropes one by one, and returning all the captives to freedom.
