Chapter 196: Surrender and Forgiveness

Although the Ming army has captured Jinling City, the order in the city is very orderly.

Soon, the soldiers of the Ming army surrounded the mansions of the major generals and the military officials under Zhu Yuanzhang. and the Jinling Taishou Mansion where Zhu Yuanzhang himself lived.

Despite the siege of these places, the soldiers of the Ming army were very well-behaved, and did not trespass a step, just waiting for the next order from the commander.

Although Zhang Wuji did not show a decisive state of killing.

But after Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the Taishou Mansion, learned that Jinling City was broken and the whole army defected. But he was terrified to the extreme.

But his fears were only for a moment. Soon Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down.

He stood upstairs, looking at the soldiers guarding his door, and couldn't help but sneer.

After laughing, he was not as anxious as others to "repair the table" and show loyalty to Zhang Wuji.

And Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his bedroom. In his bedroom, his wife and many children were waiting for him.

Princess Ma asked at this time, "Is the city broken?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang also replied very calmly: "It's broken, Mingzun's army has surrounded our mansion." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's youngest son Zhu Hu couldn't help crying in fright.

Hearing his son's crying, Zhu Yuanzhang directly gave him a big slap.

Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded: "Death is death!" What is there to cry about! ”

Zhu Biao knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang at this time and said, "Father! Let's surrender. My father had a meritorious service in resisting the Yuan back then, and he had a meal with Mingzun in Fengyang back then, and Mingzun may forgive us for the sake of his father's past exploits. ”

"It's late! It's already late! ”

Princess Ma also understood her husband's mind at this time.

Compared with the loneliness on Zhu Yuanzhang's side, Zhang Wuji's side is infinitely beautiful.

Today's Zhang Wuji, riding a high-headed horse and carrying his own honor guard, drove into Jinling City.

And the soldiers and civilians in Jinling City stood on both sides of the road, cheering and worshiping Mingzun's entry into the city.

And Zhang Wuji was also riding on a horse and constantly waving to the people around him. And whether it was Zhang Wuji's own soldiers or Zhu Yuanzhang's surrender, everyone spontaneously formed a team to greet Zhang Wuji.

Behind the line. Huo Jia, who followed into the city, sighed: "The scenery of life is infinite, and there is nothing more than this." ”

Zhao Min said at this time: "But some people are happy and some are worried. At present, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that he will not be happy. I'm really afraid that Brother Wuji will be soft-hearted and forgive him again. Sister Huojia, if Brother Wuji is soft-hearted again this time, you will need to come out. ”

Hoga nodded and said, "Hmm! You can rest assured. It's all over me. ”

After the grand entrance ceremony of everyone into the city, Zhang Wuji came to the door of the Taishou Mansion.

And here are the other people gathered as well.

Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, and Xu Da have all been brought here by Lan Yu.

He dismounted in front of the door, and although he was already an enemy with a torn face, Zhang Wuji still planned to give these famous generals a little dignity. Especially to his own big brother Xu.

Li Wenzhong glared angrily at the swaggering blue jade behind him.

Seeing this, Lan Yu said, "What do you see?" Who told you not to turn to the darkness earlier? I'm a guest and a prisoner, so didn't I ask for it? ”

Li Wenzhong snorted helplessly, and then turned his head sideways.

Zhang Wuji looked at the four generals kneeling in front of him, and then said, "Generals, please get up." ”

But none of them got up.

The others Zhang Wuji didn't have much hope, he came to Xu Da, and then he squatted down and said: "Brother Xu, you and my brother, you saved you in Butterfly Valley Wuji back then, and then in Fengyang, you saved Wuji." Don't you want to give your brother this face? ”

Although Xu Da was moved when he heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Xu Da He De, how can he be, he doesn't dare to call his majesty a brother." Now that the defeated army is a general, please ask Your Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”

Seeing Xu Da like this, Tang He, Feng Sheng, and Li Wenzhong, who are closer to Zhu Yuanzhang, are even more so.

Seeing this, Zhang Wuji could only stand up, he sighed and said, "I have tolerated Zhu Yuanzhang in every way!" Is the so-called righteous feeling more important in your hearts than the righteousness of the world? If you don't want to be loyal to me, am I really some kind of king? ”

In the face of Zhang Wuji's deafening shouts, the four famous generals all trembled like thunder.

Xu Da and Feng Sheng couldn't help but stand up at first. Seeing this, Li Wenzhong and Tang He could only stand up together.

Seeing the effect, Zhang Wuji continued: "What did everyone do in Butterfly Valley that day? Isn't it to expel Hu Yuan? But now? How many of our brothers did not die on the way to the Northern Expedition to Hu Yuan, but died at the hands of their own brothers. The reaction of the people and the soldiers today, do you still not understand the desire of this man's heart? ”

Li Wenzhong said at this time: "This is just your excuse, Your Majesty, that day Your Majesty allowed everyone to split the territory and seal the territory." But before that, it backtracked. His Majesty forced Zhang Shicheng not to say anything, but also forced my family to take the position. If that were not the case, how could we be unrighteous thieves? ”

When Zhang Wuji heard this, he said: "I divided the kings that day, but I just wanted to integrate my forces and go north to attack Yuan. Zhang Shicheng had already colluded with the king of Ruyang. This collusion with foreign enemies, I can only lead troops to crusade against him. But what about Zhu Yuanzhang? But he took advantage of my crusade against Zhang Shicheng to attack Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding. Fang Guozhen is capricious, and it is not a pity for this person to die, but Chen Youding clearly wants to submit to us, but he ends up dead. Even I have been trapped in Suzhou City for many days. ”

After hearing Zhang Wuji's words, Tang He and Li Wenzhong were silent.

After all, they did lead troops to besiege the city before, if it weren't for Lan Yu and Zhao Min leading the two elite cavalry to fight a bloody battle, I am afraid that Suzhou City would fall, and Mingzun would die in their hands.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Zhang Wuji continued at this time: "Which is right and which is wrong, let's talk about it another day." Today, I came to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. Now that everyone has arrived, let's go and meet him together. ”

Seeing this, several people looked at each other and agreed.

Listening to Zhang Wuji's tone, it seems that he will not kill everyone, if Zhu Yuanzhang surrenders, then it will be a bit ridiculous for them to stand up like this.

So everyone followed behind Zhang Wuji and entered the Taishou Mansion, intending to ask Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion first.

Zhang Wuji is also a little helpless now. Although he hates Zhu Yuanzhang now, if he can still talk about it, Zhang Wuji is willing to give Zhu Yuanzhang another chance at the end.

After all, he needs Zhu Yuanzhang to stabilize these generals, Tang He, Feng Sheng, Deng Yu, Li Wenzhong, Xu Da and others are all current generals, if this all-star lineup is given to him, then his Northern Expedition will be much simpler.

At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, forgave Yongya, why couldn't he forgive Zhu Yuanzhang again for the sake of people's hearts?

But it's a pity that this time Zhu Yuanzhang didn't give Zhang Wuji this opportunity.
