Chapter 113: Chen Zuyi's Death

Once the Ming army attacked the city, the remnants of the Liang family rebelled, and this battle was not easy to fight.

Chen Zuyi said; "What do you think should be done?"

Chen Zuxiao wanted to speak again and again, and only said after a long time: "Big brother, it's really not good, let's descend." ”

Chen Zuyi's gaze condensed into a fierce light, as if he was a knife light, and he could kill at any time.

Chen Zuxiao avoided Chen Zuyi's gaze and said; "Big brother, don't look at me like this, you look at me like this, I also want to say, although it is not comfortable to give up everything here and be a flat-headed person from now on, but it is better to die than to live. Not to mention, exile in the remote places of the Central Plains, where is there more remote than us. And I thought that if the imperial court wanted to run Nanyang, it would only move people from the Central Plains here, not the other way around. In addition, I also have some contacts in the business world, and I can connect with Nanjing dignitaries, maybe ------"

Chen Zuyi said: "Have you said enough? ”

What else does Chen Zuxiao want to say? was interrupted by Chen Zuyi. Said; "Let's go, if that's enough."

Chen Zuyi turned his back to Chen Zuxiao and didn't say anything. The sun fell on his back, and the originally majestic back collapsed all at once.

Chen Zuxiao opened his mouth and stomped away.

In fact, the person who came to find Chen Zuyi today, Chen Zuxiao is not the first, nor is he the last.

The hearts of the people in the city were scattered.

Chen Zuyi also knew that Chen Zuxiao's abacus worked.

Chen Zuxiao was in charge of maritime trade on behalf of Chen Zuyi, and he had contacts in almost all ports in the South Seas. Understand the market situation in Nanyang. And the Ming merchants, especially the magnates behind the Ming merchants, will not be able to find suitable people for a while and a half when they enter this area of the South Seas.

As long as Chen Zuxiao doesn't die and goes to these powerful mansions alone, he can at least be a housekeeper. Specialized in this aspect of Nanyang's business.

Although it is said that it is very likely that he will become a domestic slave of the powerful, and he will not be free in the future. There is no way to compare with the present, but compared to the ordinary people, they are still superior.

Even the rest of the Chen family encountered a similar situation.

Daming is too short of people in Nanyang. Lack of anything, it is very likely to become an official on the side of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is dormant for a few years at the beginning, but after these years have passed, there is a great chance to get up.

But all this does not include Chen Zuyi.

Chen Zuyi is the leader of the bandits, and he is the one who has registered in front of Zhu Yuanzhang. How could the imperial court let it go so easily.

Still, it's life or death.

It can be said that Chen Zuyi is immortal, and the people of the Chen family may not be able to use it so easily.

Of course, Chen Zuyi is so insistent and stubborn. It's not just for the sake of the Chen family. It is also known. Even if he surrenders, he will spend the rest of his life either in prison or in a remote place, living in poverty. It's still a good result.

After all, Liang Sizu was on the other side.

And hundreds of members of the Liang family died in his hands.

Most likely, as soon as he surrenders, he will be killed.

No matter what, there is no good end, and if this is the case, then why let yourself be humiliated by death?

This is the reason why Chen Zuyi coped passively.

On the one hand, there is no way to deal with the undercurrent below. On the other hand, there is no intention of coping with it.

Chen Zuyi smiled bitterly, looked at his shadow, and said, "Who will take a good head?" ”

------

Chen Zuyi still has some prestige.

When Chen Zuyi did not express his position, the people below everyone talked about it, but the old port city defense did not collapse on its own. But that's about it.

The Ming army lined up under the city, and dozens of people pulled the ropes together shirtless, and dragged the artillery up. Stop just a few hundred meters in front of the city walls.

Immediately, a man came out of the ranks, within range of the bow and crossbow under the city wall, and shouted: "To descend or not to surrender? ”

The city was silent.

didn't shout no surrender, nor did he say surrender, he just looked at Chen Zuyi, Chen Zuyi bent his bow and shot down with an arrow. Shoot at the feet of the comer. The man immediately ran back.

This long arrow is the answer.

Immediately, Lu Zhongheng snorted coldly and said, "Open the cannon." ”

Thirteen cannons, which had already been prepared, opened fire one after another.

Cannonballs erupted and smashed on the city wall not far away. It's almost a momentary thing.

As mentioned earlier, the Old Port is the old capital of Srivijaya. The walls of the Old Port are also left over from the Srivijaya period. It's about one or two hundred years old. These years have been in disrepair, although Chen Zuyi has repaired some of them, but they are also improvised.

There is no way to compare with the city wall in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention, the walls didn't even think about defending against firearms.

Any defense system has to understand one thing, what is it defending against?

Daming was an era when firearms were gradually rising. Before the Ming Dynasty, there were no large-scale brick-covered city walls. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the city wall brick became the mainstream. Except where there is no money, the city wall is usually covered with a layer of bricks.

The reason is not aesthetically pleasing or something.

It's just for the fire preventer.

If someone has seen the rammed earth city wall, they will find that the rammed earth city wall for a long time is essentially an earth wall, and when the artillery hits it, a large amount of adobe will loosen and fall. Wrapping a layer of bricks can be a good defense against this situation.

The city wall of Srivijaya Qi, although it is not quite the same as the construction method of the city wall of the Ming Dynasty, but in essence, it is still a version of rammed earth. This is also the method in many places, from primitive times.

The walls did not think about defensive artillery at all. Unlike the city wall of the Ming Dynasty, from the time of construction, it was thought of defensive artillery. So much so that during the Anti-Japanese War, the city walls of the Ming and Qing dynasties still had a certain role.

Although this round of shelling did not kill anyone. But the impact on the city was no less than that of the Mongols bombarding the city wall of Xiangyang with Hui artillery. In the old port city, where people's hearts were fluctuating, the last string suddenly broke.

Suddenly, in the middle of the city, a white flag was raised, and a group of people shouted: "Kill Chen Zuyi and welcome the king." ”

For a time, the sound of killing was loud at the head of the city.

Chen Zuyi expected such a situation, but he never expected it. On the first day of the war, such a situation arose. I didn't expect that he was the first to jump back.

Shi Lao Liu is a young man promoted by Chen Zuyi. Only in his early twenties. The battle was brave, not to mention other battles, just the battle that destroyed the Liang family, Shi Lao Liu was the first soldier. killed many children of the Liang family. Because of this, Chen Zuyi arranged Shi Lao Liu in a critical position.

Come to think of it, it's not until the last minute. Shi Lao Liu will not be opposed.

But things are just the opposite, just because Shi Lao Liu killed the Liang family too hard before, he realized that the general trend had gone, and he had to do something immediately. to salvage the situation. Otherwise, when the city is broken, it will be the day of his death.

Moreover, when Shi Laoliu brought his own people to kill him, Chen Zuyi's other departments didn't seem to see it, and they didn't do anything to intercept it at all.

Only when Shi Lao Liu killed in front of Chen Zuyi, Chen Zuyi's guards rose up to resist.

However, how long can this be supported.

A moment later, there was no longer a living guard in front of Chen Zuyi.

Chen Zuyi looked at Shi Lao Liu, and then looked at the other departments on the city wall, including Chen Zuxiao, and the other Chen family's people, but they didn't move. Chen Zuyi smiled lightly and said; "Shi Lao Liu, everyone wants to save face, and if you don't want to touch my blood, aren't you afraid?"

Shi Lao Liu gritted his teeth and said, "I can't live with you, but I want to live." ”

Chen Zuyi said: "Kill me, you can live, and Liang Sizu will let you go." ”

Shi Lao Liu said: "Yes, I am now Liang Sizu's uncle." He doesn't think about it, he has to think about it for the daughters of the Liang family, and think about the current Liang family. ”

Chen Zuyi didn't understand anything. No matter what happened to Chen Zuyi? The Liang family is almost the same. The Liang family has no male members, even if they are taken care of by the government and have the influence of Liang Daoming. With these, those without one, there is nothing.

The best way for Liang Sizu is to immediately pull a group of relatives through marriage, and the current strength of the Liang family will be realized. Wait for the next generation of the Liang family to grow up, and take over everything in the Liang family with the help of these relatives and friends. Of course. This is also an idealized approach.

Whether it succeeds or does not come is two words.

But it is also the best way for Liang Sizu.

Chen Zuyi laughed and said, "How can I die from a young person." Then Fu Jian committed suicide.
