Chapter 1117: The Clay Head Ceremony

Si Lunfa finally understood, what makes others think that you are the king, you are the king. Under the rebellion of his relatives, he was replaced by Dao Gan Meng, which barely caused a ripple, and many courtiers even applauded.

This super huge defeat is an extremely heavy blow to everyone in the Luchuan Kingdom, and they urgently need someone to bear the blame and transfer all the anger and depression in their hearts, so that they can feel better.

Si Lunfa is the culprit, who does everyone blame him?

Moreover, Dao Gan Meng promised to surrender unconditionally to Da Ming immediately, and strive to let everyone go home as soon as possible. So everyone also supported him to stand up and clean up the mess at this time of crisis.

So Dao Gan Meng immediately informed the Ming army of the latest situation, and put all the blame on Si Lunfa, saying that the tyrant was immeasurable, insisted on going his own way, and coerced the soldiers and civilians of the whole country to offend the Celestial Empire. The whole army and the people complained, and finally overthrew the tyrant's rule together and elected themselves to the throne.

At the same time, he formally asked Daming to surrender unconditionally, and said that he would accept any arrangement, and he would have a good attitude.

The Ming army accepted Daoganmeng's request to surrender, and set the place of surrender at Yongchang, the place where Silunfa sent troops to attack and captured Wang Zhen of the Ming army's thousand households, and razed his city.

It was then that the bond between the two sides was formed.

The place of surrender is here, and at first glance it is the meaning of a certain cautious prince.

~~

Of course, how can such a glorious moment be done without an audience? Zhu Zhen instructed Pan Yuanming to invite all the Tusi officials in Yunnan and Inner and Outer to come to watch the ceremony.

This time, there were more people coming than when they drank Laba porridge, not only the local officials from all the provinces in Yunnan, but all of them came obediently. Even Outer Yunnan came to more than 20 prefectures or representatives.

These places are all areas under the actual control of the Luchuan Kingdom, and the Ming Dynasty has never touched them before, but they were all divided into Yunnan by the sixth in accordance with the principle of 'the territory occupied by the previous dynasty is my territory'.

For example, Yunyuan Province, in another time and space, is the Kachin State of Burma; Muang Kit is located in Chiang Mai, Thailand; Mu'an Province is located in Nan Province, Thailand; Monlay is the famous Koda; Muang Oi is the Shan State; Mubang is located in Lashio, Myanmar; Mong Khanh is located in Chiang Rai, Thailand...... It basically included most of Myanmar and northern Thailand. It is also the main sphere of influence of Luchuan Kingdom.

Even the peninsular regimes such as Laos, 800 daughters-in-law, and Angkor, as well as Annam, Champa and other countries, also sent envoys to Yongchang to congratulate them after learning that the invincible Luchuan State was decided by the Ming army in a war.

Such a huge scene makes every official of the Ming Dynasty feel glorious, what is the whole world, is it not the king's land? The Heavenly Empire, the eight directions are subdued? That's it right in front of you.

The only regret is that the prince who created all this behind the scenes will not be able to return to Yunnan for the time being, and he will not be able to attend this grand ceremony in person.

~~

On the day of the surrender ceremony, Arishi built an altar of surrender in front of the ruins of Yongchang City. There is a big banner on the tree behind the altar, and there are four big red characters on the book, "Feng Zhao Na Descend".

Under the banner, tens of thousands of Ming troops participating in the battle were lined up behind the surrender altar with distinct armor and neat military appearance.

Among them, the most conspicuous are the defenders of Dingbian City. They were all refreshed from head to toe, wearing new red robes, cowhide boots, and new mountain armor - which meant that they had collectively been promoted to the rank of 100 households.

After a period of recuperation, although they were still very thin, they had regained their spirits, and they stood in the front row of the team with a straight posture, looking indifferently at Dao Gan Meng, Dao Gang Yang and others who were walking from a distance.

The tin soldiers behind Daogan Meng were also pushing two prisoner carts, with Si Lunfa and Si Xingfa father and son on them.

In the sound of propaganda and cannons, Mu Ying was dressed in military uniform, surrounded by Hu Quan, Guo Ying and other generals who participated in the war, and he would represent the imperial court and accept the invitation of the Luchuan regime to surrender.

Then, the salute officer ordered Daogan Meng and others to kneel and prostrate in the north next to the surrendered flag, first kowtowing in the direction of Nanjing to apologize, and then Daogan Meng personally presented the surrender table.

Daogan Meng saw that the Ming army who took him down was a little familiar, and after a little thought, he suddenly remembered that this person was not Wang Zhen, the guard of Yongchang City who was captured by himself before? blurted out: "You are Wang Qianhu? ”

"It's me." That Wang Qianhu nodded, with a wry smile on his face, but he said more with relief: "But I'm not a Qianhu now, just a soldier serving a sentence for a crime, and I came to take over the table on the orders of the prince." ”

"Huh?" Dao Ganmeng was taken aback, but he didn't expect that in order to let out this evil breath, the prince would even pull out Wang Zhen, who was serving hard labor in the army, and let him accept the surrender of the Luchuan regime as a representative of the Ming army.

is really a careful-eyed prince who will repay him, which is obviously not a good thing for him and Luchuan.

But the matter has come to this, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and I can only resign myself to fate.

~~

General Zheng Zheng Nan read out the edict of surrender, and the band next to the altar of surrender once again preached Yin Ran.

In the midst of the music, the sergeant brought a basin of yellow mud and asked Dao Gan Meng and others to make a mud salute.

It is to paint one's face with mud and then pause on the ground to show self-humiliation and apology. It's the same as 'face binding', it's a kind of bowing.

However, the latter is generally used for monarchs, while the former is not limited to the identity of the surrenderer. At the beginning, Chen Youliang's second son, Chen Li, surrendered with this kind of clay salute.

The music stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Dao Gan Meng for a moment, and no one wanted to miss this good show.

Dao Gan Meng looked at the yellow mud in the basin hesitantly, the last time he played with mud was fifty years ago. It doesn't matter if you just paste this thing on your face when no one is around, but under the watchful eye, you paint yourself with yellow mud, and your face has to be broken, and you don't want to pick it up and stick it again in this life.

"Can you ......" Daogan Meng begged in a low voice: "Don't paint?" ”

"Yes." Ningzheng, who was in charge of supervising the salute, said coldly: "Then change to strip naked, tie your hands behind your back, and hold a seal letter in your mouth, and dedicate it to General Zhengnan." ”

"Then I'll still paint it......" When Dao Gan Meng heard it, he said that the Han people are so perverted? Suddenly, I felt that the mud head ceremony was quite humane.

In order for someone to share the shame, he also pulled him to the knife to raise together. Dao Wuyang secretly scolded in his heart for not thinking about himself, when he was embarrassed, he never forgot himself, but in desperation, he had to do it.

Seeing the two of them holding mud and slapping them in the face, the soldiers of the Ming army erupted in wanton laughter.

The knife was dry, and Old Meng's face was flushed, but fortunately it was covered with mud, and others couldn't see his face. He couldn't help but sigh secretly: 'If I knew this, it would be better to have a coup d'Γ©tat later, and let Si Lunfa suffer this crime.' ’

"Hahahaha...... Si Lunfa in the prisoner car behind him was also laughing at him: "What did you say you robbed?" Just snatch the mud off your face? Hahaha......"

"Shut up! You don't have that qualifications if you want to be confused! The knife was dry and Meng angrily slapped a handful of yellow mud on his face, and as a result, his eyes were blurred in a fit of anger.
