Chapter 1116: Unconditional Surrender
Capriciousness is a common problem of kings, whether it is a big king or a small king, Silunfa is no exception.
After initial contacts with the Ming army, negotiations reached an impasse.
Si Lunfa always insisted that he was surrendering rather than surrendering, and the Ming army had to give him corresponding treatment.
Otherwise, their army will starve to death, die in battle, jump from the mountains and fall to their deaths, and will never surrender!
But the Ming army didn't bird him, and the situation froze.
Unlike Si Lunfa, who suffered from gains and losses, the attitude of the Ming army was very clear, either lay down their arms and surrender unconditionally; Either wash their necks and wait for the imperial army to wipe them out.
There are many mountains in Yunnan and few roads, the traffic is blocked, and the only passage is blocked by more than 200,000 Ming troops. The Ming army could indeed do what they could say and wipe them out.
And the Ming army also has this determination! Zhu Zhen and Mu Ying worked hard to lure Si Lunfa's 300,000 army into the territory, how could they let them escape back?
In fact, with the addition of 50,000 from Dao Lang and 20,000 from Si Xingfa, Si Lunfa brought in a full 370,000 horses.
These 370,000 people are almost all the young and middle-aged men in Luchuan Country.
Leave them all behind, and the behemoth of the Luchuan regime will instantly become unprotected fish and meat, and then be put on the table and enjoyed to the fullest.
In fact, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, it was almost the same as asking Si Lun to confess his guilt and beg to surrender, cede land and pay compensation, send protons to Beijing, and then dismember the Luchuan Kingdom into a number of Tusi territories to completely eliminate its threat.
So if nothing else, the subsequent development of things is really exactly the same as Si Lunfa expected, no matter what he experienced in the middle, he can always protect his territory in Luchuan. Of course, don't think about Burma......
But the problem is, there's an extra sixth here. History is going in the other direction.
Zhu Zhen, with the help of the crown prince, had already persuaded Boss Zhu that as long as he could completely defeat Si Lunfa, he would set Luchuan as a prince's vassal state, and take out part of the vassal land as a fief and divide it to the meritorious ministers.
Later, at the suggestion of the prince, Boss Zhu expanded the scope of the feud and linked the fiefdom with military merits, so that not only the nobles, but also ordinary soldiers could get fiefs.
This kind of disguised push order can not only prevent the future of the honorable people from falling out, but also greatly motivate the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, so that the Ming army has always maintained strong combat effectiveness.
Therefore, for the sake of the old Zhu family's future plan, this so-called Luchuan country should not exist anymore.
~~
However, the stalemate did not last a few days, and the Luchuan army surrendered unconditionally.
In fact, the previous problem was not solved, but the person who caused the problem was solved.
That day, Silunfa and his son were eating chicken in the cabin, discussing the current situation in vain, when suddenly there was a bang, and the closed door was slammed open.
I saw the knife keeper walking in with a knife.
"What are you going to do?" Si Lun's hair stood on end, barely keeping his composure, and his eyes drifted to the door, not knowing what those damn forbidden soldiers were doing.
"My lord, I heard that you are going to use my brother as a scapegoat?!" The knife boy shouted: "You want to put all the responsibility on my brother, and tell the Ming army that in Luchuan Country, it is our brothers who really have the final say?" Is it because we insist on attacking the Ming Dynasty? You're just out of your own hands, you're being coerced? ”
Si Lun's expression changed greatly when he heard this, this was a matter of his conspiracy with Dao Gan Meng.
The reason is very simple, in order to reduce the guilt, he must find someone to take the blame, so the dead knife man is very suitable. Considering that Dao Jiao and he are brothers, he will inevitably be disgusted by this, so let his brothers carry this black cauldron together.
He didn't even say anything about this kind of absolutely confidential thing, so how did he know about it?
"Who made this rumor? Is the knife dry Meng? Where is he?! Si Lun asked loudly, "Let him come to see this king!" ”
"I'm here, my lord." Daogan Meng came in from outside, and said in a righteous manner: "I told Dao Jian about the matter, but I didn't spread rumors." I dare to swear to the Mother of Heaven and Earth, if I say half a lie, I will be turned into a pig and a dog, and I will never be reborn. After a pause, he asked in a cold voice, "But do you dare?" ”
"Why did this king swear such an oath?" Si Lunfa naturally didn't dare, Luchuan believed in the upper part of Southern Buddhism, and was convinced of the theory of reincarnation, he couldn't put his life into it in order to tell a lie.
"If you don't dare, it means it's true!" The knife raised his knife and pointed at Si Lunfa, and said hatefully: "Dog King, my brother tried to ensure that you became the king, and my eldest brother died for your loyalty, how did you repay us?" ”
"There's a misunderstanding here, don't worry." Si Lunfa soothed the knife and looked anxiously at the door.
"Don't look at the king, the forbidden soldiers have already been withdrawn." Daogan Meng sneered: "You have already betrayed your relatives. ”
"What?!" Si Lunfa couldn't hold back at all, and shouted in a lost voice: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The king's forbidden soldiers are absolutely loyal to the royal family! ”
"But being a minister is also a royal family. I am the adopted son of the great Sihanfa! Daogan Meng straightened his waist and smiled proudly: "Everyone thinks that you, a sinner from the Luchuan Kingdom, are no longer qualified to be the king." So the Forbidden Soldiers of Sira are already loyal to me! ”
"You! You little is also worthy! Si Lun was furious, and roared angrily: "You damn rebel thief has not been at ease from the beginning, this king is really blind, and he still treats you as a loyal minister!" ”
At this time, the poor dagger saw that Dao Ganmeng's plan was already very clear. At the beginning of the Battle of Dingbian, the reason why he supported Si Lunfa's decision to withdraw the forbidden troops was for today.
Si Lun's bet on the national fortune failed, how could there be no one in the whole country who didn't hate him? Even the Xira Forbidden Soldiers were no exception, they were the most loyal and fanatical supporters of the Great Dai people, and they would not hesitate to abandon Si Lunfa once they thought that he was no longer qualified to continue to lead the Dai people.
At this time, the forbidden soldiers who defend the royal family will become the key to determining the ownership of the throne.
If possible, the Janissaries would not let Silunfa's son take over. abolished people's Lao Tzu, and still expect people to be grateful to them? I am afraid that when they sit firmly in their seats in the future, they will be liquidated when they turn back.
And the Dai people are not as strict as the Han people, as long as they are members of the royal family, uncles and nephews, and even adopted sons-in-law, they are all qualified to snatch the throne, it depends on whose fist is harder.
In this case, there is no more suitable person than Dao Gan Meng. Not only is he the prime minister of the Luchuan Kingdom himself highly respected, but more importantly, he has just protected them on the battlefield.
After receiving the allegiance of the forbidden soldiers, he betrayed Silunfa and co-opted him to the sword fight, so everything happened in secret. Although it was unexpected, it was reasonable.
"Of course I am a loyal minister, but I am a loyal minister of Luchuan, not yours." Dao Gan Meng finally brazenly declared: "The foundation created by the great Si Khan Fa is about to be destroyed by you. So I have to stand up, replace the faint king, become the new king, and make Luchuan great again! ”
