Chapter 451: Thank You

"Who's talking!? Stand up!"

Zheng looked around, trying to find the person who was talking.

But at this moment, the shouting outside the city stopped, and then the sound of cannon fire was heard again.

The crowd also rioted again.

The scene became tense. Until the voice just shouted again, completely igniting the flames of war.

"Zheng Jie, regardless of our life and death, arrested Zheng Jie, and asked the Ming army for credit!"

At this point, Zheng Jie understood that someone was deliberately fanning.

But he was already in a dilemma at this time, and it was impossible to be captured. But as soon as you do it, you will definitely fall into a trap.

Cannonballs are constantly falling overhead, taking people's lives at any time.

In such a situation, how many people will be loyal to a doomed monarch?

There was chaos in the city.

The soldiers who stayed behind were divided into two factions, one faction swore allegiance to Zheng Jie, and the other faction wanted to capture Zheng Jie and ask for merit from the Ming army outside the city.

Whether it is ordinary people or soldiers, they are actually just pawns.

Even at this life-and-death juncture, their fate is at the mercy of others. Fighting for life and death is just seeking benefits for the people above.

"Lao Xu, you said it, there was a fight in the city." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

"Let them fight for a while." Xu Zhi'an laughed, and then ordered the people below to stop the artillery fire.

People continued to take advantage of the chaos to escape and sit in the designated positions under the command of the Ming army.

Time passed little by little, and after nearly an hour, the riots in the city gradually stopped.

"Lao Zheng, who do you say won?" Xu Zhi'an asked Zheng Zhilong.

"Who knows~" Zheng Zhilong shrugged his shoulders, extremely relaxed.

After another quarter of an hour, there was movement at the gates.

"It's out."

I saw a soldier appear in the cave of the city gate, and I saw him walking out of the door with his hands raised, his head shrunk, and he shouted:

"Surrender! Surrender!"

It's still Chinese.

"It looks like Zheng Jie has lost!" Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

"Normal, after all, most people don't want to follow him to death."

The soldiers who went out of the city were brought to Xu Zhi'an all the way.

"Little Wu San, I've seen the general!"

"What's going on in the city?"

"Zheng Jie's insistence on going his own way and organizing people of insight in the city to welcome the Ming Wangshi, has been captured by our general and several others, and is now in the city. In order to avoid misunderstanding, the general sent me out of the city to ask the general, can you take Zheng Jie out of the city to surrender to Wang Shi!?"

"Master Wang? Hahahaha~" Xu Zhi'an and the others were amused by Wu San's statement.

"What's your general's name?"

"Back to the general, our general's name is Mo Bixian!"

"Don't you have to? It sounds familiar." Xu Zhi'an wondered. "In that case, let your general go out of the city and see him!"

"Yes!"

Wu San quickly ran back to Shenglong City.

After a while, there was movement again in the city gate cave.

It was Wu San who led the way, but there were a lot of people behind him.

There are civil officials dressed as civil officials, and there are military generals who wear armor.

A group of about forty or fifty people, all unarmed. Behind them, there was a group of soldiers, escorting more than 20 people who had been tied up by the five flowers, and at the head was none other than the generalissimo Zheng Jie, who had flaunted his might not long ago. ….

After careful search by the soldiers, they were brought to Xu Zhi'an and others after determining that these people were harmless.

"The last general, don't be the first, meet a few generals!"

"The last general?" Xu Zhi'an was stunned when he heard this.

"Jiaozhi is a part of the Ming Dynasty, I am the military attache of Jiaozhi, so I naturally want to call myself the last general." Mo Bixian said as a matter of course. "The people of Cochin have been suffering from the Zheng clan and the Nguyen clan for a long time

, Zheng Ruan's dispute caused misery and displaced people. Woo~"

As he spoke, Mo Bixian actually cried.

"Crying for what? Say it well." Zheng Zhilong frowned.

This guy doesn't look like a good guy.

"The people of Jiaozhi finally waited for the arrival of the king, I was happy for them, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and I cried with joy~woo~"

Xu Zhi'an and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Is that okay?

It's too shameful~

"How many men do you have?" What happened in the city just now?" Xu Zhi'an interrupted Mo Bixian's crying.

"I don't have many men under my command, but the righteous people in the city add up, less than 40,000 in total! Behind me were the generals and officials who had the courage to resist Zheng Jie's atrocities and greet Wang Shi with me. As for those who followed Zheng Jie's stubborn resistance, we killed some of them and captured some of them. Thang Long is under our control! The general can enter the city at any time!"

Mo Bi first pointed to the people behind him, and then invited Xu Zhi'an to enter the city.

Xu Zhi'an still planned to take a look at Zheng Jie first, so he asked people to bring him over.

In addition to him, there are also Zheng Kai, Zheng Zheng and other relatives of him, which can be described as a net.

"Zheng Jie?"

"Humph! If you want to kill or chop, listen to it!"

Xu Zhi'an smiled, ignored him, and looked at Zheng Kai on the side.

"Zheng Kai?"

Zheng Kai also wanted to say two hard words, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Xu Zhi'an:

"Thank you very much."

"Huh?"

"You didn't get Shayuan to Jiaozhi, we had to think of something else. So, it was you who helped Da Ming, and I want to thank you."

"You—you—"

"Don't worry, you Zheng clan is a disaster, I will ask Your Majesty for a decree, please Your Majesty to send it. But I think the family should be able to stay together neatly."

For the rest of the people, Xu Zhi'an didn't look at it anymore and ordered someone to take them down.

Then let Mo Bi send someone to open the other three city gates, and send someone to take over the city defense.

As for the soldiers under Mo Bixian, they were confiscated with weapons and armor, and they were stationed in the south of the city, waiting to be settled.

There were many people in Thang Long City, and when the war was fought, some of them fled, and some of them hid in their homes in fear.

After taking control of Thang Long, Xu Zhi'an immediately pacified the people in the city.

With the cooperation of Mo Bixian and a large number of surrenderers, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

The people who died were also compensated handsomely, and although most of them still hated the Ming people who invaded their homes, at least for a short time.

Xu Zhi'an and the others temporarily lived in the Generalissimo's Mansion, and everything here will be reported to His Majesty in detail, waiting for his next instructions.

Night falls

Xu Zhi'an and others were sitting around a round table and eating together.

This meal is considered a celebration banquet, but in view of the current situation, no one drinks, and even the food is brought by themselves.

Several generals from all over the world sat together, chatting while eating, and the scene was harmonious.

Suddenly, a soldier of Xu Zhi'an walked in.

"General, an army has appeared twenty miles outside the city, numbering about sixty thousand. I don't know friend or foe!"

"Huh?"

Xu Zhi'an put down the fast son in his hand, looked at Zheng Zhilong and the others, and said with a smile:

"We're here, and we have friends?"
