Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 731 Wu Yue Surrenders
Wuyue King Qian Chu decided to surrender and offer the city.

This Qian Chu, originally named Qian Hongchu, avoided the name taboo of Zhao Hongyin, the father of Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and only called him Chu. The character Hong in the middle was removed to show his respect for the royal family of the Song Dynasty.

When Qian Chu was more than ten years old, he served as the commander of the army of the Neiya and the inspector Sikong.After Qian Zhen succeeded to the throne, he was specially called back from Taizhou to participate in the work of presiding over the prime minister's office.In the fourth year of Kaiyun in the Later Jin Dynasty (947), Qian Chu left the town of Danqiu and returned.In the 12th year of Tianfu in the Later Han Dynasty (947), the general Hu Jinsi took advantage of the night banquet of King Qian Chu of Wuyue to launch a coup. Qian Chu was placed under house arrest.

In the first month of the first year of Qianyou (948) in the later Han Dynasty, Qian Chu ascended the throne and was welcomed by Hu Jinsi as King of Wuyue.He was ordered to exempt domestic rent and tax, and he Chengxun, the commander of the internal government, was punished first, and he was punished for repeated actions, so that people's hearts were stable.Hu Jinsi proposed to execute Qian Zhe many times, but Qian Chu refused, and sent his relative Xue Wen to protect Qian Zong.

After Qian Chu succeeded to the throne, he made great efforts to govern and ordered that all tax arrears over the years be exempted. Those who have abandoned fields in the territory "let the people cultivate them, and the public will not pay any taxes", and the people are very happy.Later, thousands of soldiers were set up to camp and plow the land in Songjiang, so that "there is no abandoned land in the territory".

Fast forward 20 years, Qian Chu has been the emperor for nearly 20 years, and now he is surrounded by the army of Yang, Wu, Heiyun, and has to leave the city and surrender.

The news spread to the Chinese army camp in Heiyundu outside the city. Yang Linger, Han Xizai, Lu Chaoqun, Su Chen and others were all overjoyed.

"General Su's strategy really worked, he is truly a genius!"

"That's right, it's actually counted, it's a clever calculation!"

Many ministers and generals expressed their praises one after another.

Lu Chaoqun, Lu Zheng, Gao Fuquan and the others were all shocked, Su Chen really guessed it right, they were so predictable!

Su Chen smiled slightly, kept modest and not complacent, with a calm face, stood up and said to Yang Linger: "Master, prepare to go out of the camp to accept the surrender. In addition, prepare to send troops to receive the surrendered troops in the city. According to the pre-rehearsal, our army can choose tens of thousands Entering the city, send people to protect the main streets, etc., and patrol the streets. The rest of the troops are stationed outside, so as not to disturb the people in the city. Lord Han is going to take over the accounts of the clan, check the treasury, arrange the palace personnel, etc. Hangzhou has a thin population and terrain Pictures, books, etc., must be kept well.”

"Understood!" Han Xizai and the others nodded. They had already rehearsed in advance, and today it will be carried out smoothly without being in a hurry.

Yang Ling'er agreed, got up and took the civil and military officials out of the camp to accept Qian Chu's surrender.

Outside the gate, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qian Chu personally held the jade seal of Wuyue Kingdom and the memorial of surrender, and surrendered to the handsome Yang Linger, who was disguised as a man and dressed in military uniform, on his knees and surrendered to the city.

"Qian Chu, the minister of Wu and Yue, who led all the civil and military officials, surrendered today. Please accept the new Lord Yang and Wu. From then on, there will be no Wuyue Kingdom. I am willing to obey the new Lord. I beg not to hurt the old officials of Wu and Yue and the people in the city. Stop fighting, turn jade and silk, and surrender the ministers, etc. I will be deeply grateful to Long En!" Qian Chu said these words, his heart was bleeding, but there was no way, the situation was like this, and he was powerless to resist.

Especially seeing the power of the sky-shaking thunder in Heiyundu with his own eyes yesterday, which blew away all the luck and hope in his heart.

He was very worried that the city's destruction would trigger Heiyundu's army to massacre the city, and he was also worried that these thunderbolts would smash into the city and destroy the people in the city.

If that was the case, he would be a sinner through the ages.

After all, Qian Chu was devoted to the Buddha, and he was a kind-hearted king. If he couldn't bear the destruction of the people and dignitaries in the city because of his greed, it would be a serious crime.

Qian Chu, a man who believed in Buddhism all his life, made Buddhism flourish in Wuyue Kingdom for 20 years.It can be said that "in every spare time, I can't stop reciting Shishi's book, and hand can't stop publishing Shishi's book".

During the period when Qian Chu ruled the two Zhejiang provinces, he built scripture buildings, engraved Buddhist scriptures, built temples, and built pagodas in the territory. He treated eminent monks such as Tiantai Deshao and Yongming Yanshou, sent envoys to Goryeo and Fusang to seek Buddhist classics, and rebuilt Lingyin in the capital Hangzhou. Temple, established Yongming Temple, built Liuhe Pagoda, Baochu Pagoda, Leifeng Pagoda, etc., and also built Yanxia Cave, Ciyunling, Tianlong Temple, Feilai Peak and other rare grotto statues in the south.

This Wuyue Kingdom has become a veritable "Southeast Buddhist Kingdom".

Because of this, Qian Chu couldn't bear to fight to the end, and let the soldiers and civilians follow him to ruin the country and pay a heavy price.

"King Wuyue, please rise up! Today you surrendered on behalf of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, obeyed the destiny, and avoided a catastrophe on earth. Your merits are immeasurable. You will keep your promise and will not harm Wuyue's subjects and the people in the city. Soon, we will restore Wuyue. China, implementing new policies will only allow the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to live a more prosperous and stable life."

Yang Linger's words reassured Wuyue King Qian Chu and the ministers behind him, such as Shen Huzi, Huang Yijian, Cui Renji, Luo Sheng, Zhang Zhi, and so on.

Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, Xu Kai, Gao Yue, Zhang Yi and others standing next to them were full of emotion. They used to be the former ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the ministers of the Wuyue Kingdom. , against each other, but did not achieve.

Unexpectedly, the courtiers of the two countries met in this way today.

The Southern Tang Dynasty of Han Xizai and others did not perish, and the Wuyue Kingdom of Qian Chu and Shen Huzi also perished today. From then on, there was no Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue Kingdom, and there was only a new Wu Kingdom.

Qian Chu and the others stood up, clearly being protected, but in fact they were placed under house arrest first, and when the situation stabilized, new appointments were arranged.

Next, Yang Linger, Su Chen, Lu Chaoqun, Han Xizai and others led troops into Hangzhou City.

Generals such as Su Chen, Lu Chaoqun, Qi Ying, and Wei Dongqiang accepted the surrender of the defenders at the gates of the city. A city gate was received by soldiers from all directions, and then escorted out of the city for temporary house arrest.

Yang Ling'er used her most trusted [-] magic tricks army to occupy the palace city, and released all the maids, eunuchs, maids, etc. in the palace, and let them go home.

Because these are old people and cannot be trusted, they must use their trusted guards, maids, etc., and put them into the palace for use.

As the new lord, Yang Linger naturally wants to live in the palace. Jing Hong will continue to be responsible for protecting the safety of the palace and Yang Linger for the time being, preventing other soldiers from getting close to Yang Linger.

Now Yang Ling'er only trusts Su Chen's people, and doesn't trust the other soldiers and horses in Heiyundu so much.

The closer it is to the restoration of the country, the more important Yang Linger's personal safety is, in case some old generals force the palace to pick peaches halfway and steal the fruits of victory.

Now tens of thousands of Su Chen's mercenaries are stationed inside and outside Hangzhou City, and Lin Renzhao's army is echoing outside. The military power should not be underestimated. Lu Chaoqun, Qi Ying, Wei Dongqiang, the three leaders of the black cloud, dare not make any changes. Restricting each other, they are temporarily in a balance of power.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Linger's first decree came out, which was to issue a list to appease the people, amnesty the world, appease the people in Wuyue territory, never harm the people of Wuyue, and they would all become the people of the new Wuyue.

Then, Yang Linger summoned civil servants and military generals in the palace to discuss the restoration of the country, choose Huang Chen for a few days, prepare for the establishment of the country, how to worship the heavens, issue a call to the world, and establish a new Wu country. The matter of conferring kings and marquises.
