The eldest princess pampered the beautiful, strong and miserable proton queen
Chapter 529 Pledge of Allegiance to the Death
He looked solemn and said: "Princess, Emperor Guanghe led an army of 200,000 troops to the city. The generals of chariots and cavalry confronted the Jiang army at the building. The Jiang army surrounded and refused to attack. They sent many soldiers who had surrendered to Jiang to persuade him to surrender. , in just three days, the morale of the defenders was low and their morale was dispirited."
In the past few days, Jiang Jun called for battle under the city tower and spread a lot of rumors that shaken the morale of the army. There were 20,000 guards in the palace, but Jiang Jun made dumplings in the palace;
General Jiang Lingrong sent the remaining 30 to 40,000 elite soldiers from the third battalion of the escort army to Xiangyang, and asked Emperor Guang and Emperor Guang to surround them halfway and kill everyone without leaving a single piece of armor behind;
Which nobles in the city surrendered Dajiang;
The Southern Dynasty is dead in name only. For you, you only have one life, and if it is gone, it will be gone. But for those noble families in Beijing, the Southern Dynasty will be dead when it dies. They just change their "owner", and the family can still survive. Good luck!
……
Jiang Fuguang's eyes moved slightly, and he asked warmly: "In the general's opinion, what should we do now?"
General Dingyuan frowned and looked thoughtful, obviously really thinking about countermeasures.
Shangshu Shi and his party were relatively calm.
Before Emperor Guanghe ascended the throne, he had massacred a large number of former ministers. To describe it in one sentence, "the heads of powerful people were hung all over the gate, and the bones of public ministers were trampled on in the streets."
These people are either in high positions or hold real power. If Emperor Guanghe comes to Beijing and wants to liquidate the old ministers, he will not let them go.
When life and death are at stake, the most taboo thing is to be vacillating. They had discussed it before, and they would follow the eldest princess's lead.
At this time, General Dingyuan stood up from his chair and strode into the hall.
With a bang, he knelt on one knee on the ground. With a snap, he cupped his fists and said, "We will follow the eldest princess to the death and obey her orders."
"Pledge to be loyal to the eldest princess to the death!" Several other generals also showed determination and knelt down to express their agreement.
Prince Cheng and his clan members were a little uneasy. Since ancient times, with the change of dynasties, these royal clan members have almost never had a good end.
After Emperor Guanghe entered the capital, he would first attack his royal family members. Surrendering might not save his life, but resistance would definitely lead to disaster.
They were all idle clan members who were not from the same lineage as the eldest princess and had no real power. They wanted to directly surrender Da Jiang to reduce Emperor Guanghe's hostility towards the Jiang royal family and maybe save their lives.
Therefore, Prince Cheng and his entourage were really worried that if the eldest princess wanted to defend the city and die for the country, how could they, the royal family members, survive after Emperor Guanghe entered the capital? !
As long as the eldest princess is alive, these clan members will have a chance to survive.
Prince Cheng endured it again and again, but couldn't hold it back and said: "Guanghe Imperial Capital is approaching the city. What's the use of defending the city? The imperial court has already existed in name only, why can't we accept the fact of the country's subjugation? If we continue to resist, it will only increase many casualties. "
As soon as he opened his mouth, other clan members couldn't help themselves and expressed their opinions one after another.
"Those officers and soldiers were all raised by their own parents. It would be too cruel to ask them to fulfill their so-called loyalty and sacrifice their lives for the sake of a court that exists in name only. There are still more than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the capital. How many families will face the tragedy of losing their families and their lives?”
While the country is still there, guarding the borders and protecting the land is a sign of loyalty and righteousness that will leave a name for the ages. The Southern Dynasties were all destroyed, so how could there be any righteousness for the family and the country?
"When Emperor Guanghe launched his army to conquer the south, he told the world that when he was a hostage in the Southern Dynasty, he had been treated by the eldest princess and protected by the Taiwei Mansion. Wherever Jiang's army went, not a single civilian was injured without reason. , Now the Jiang Dynasty troops are approaching the city, and Emperor Guanghe is besieging but not attacking. The soldiers in the city who have been persuading them to surrender are obviously unwilling to fight with us. It can be seen that Emperor Guanghe is also a person who values promises and upholds justice."
"Emperor Guanghe has always been violent. He launched a coup in the Northern Dynasties and massacred the royal children and dignitaries in the city. If we defend the city and anger Emperor Guanghe, and Emperor Guanghe enters the city and orders the massacre, not only the people will suffer. A city full of people?"
"The riots in South Vietnam have not subsided, and the war in the southwest has not yet been decided. The soldiers on the front line need the support of the imperial court to continue to fight against the Jiang Dynasty. Where are the soldiers on the front line who risked their lives to fight against the foreigners? They can't last long!"
"Elder Princess, please be aware that if you want to defend the city, the princes from all over the country will either seize one side and divide the country or rise up in rebellion under the guise of coming to Beijing to serve the king. The Southern Dynasty will fall into civil strife. You care about the world and cannot bear the people to be trampled by foreigners. This How could we watch the Southern Dynasty fall into civil strife when we ordered the Qi army to fight against foreigners, causing the people to be displaced and suffer from the war?"
"..."
Everyone said something to each other, and the front hall was noisy. Jiang Fuguang was weak, couldn't stand the noise, and his head was a little dizzy.
She looked pale: "Everyone, calm down first."
The hall gradually became quiet, and pairs of eyes looked at the eldest princess with complicated eyes, waiting for the eldest princess to give orders.
Jiang Fuguang rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead: "I already know what you mean. Whether it's fighting or surrendering, I won't decide your life and death, and the life and death of the soldiers guarding the city. You are all from the Southern Dynasty. Your ministers have the right to discuss and make decisions, so you can gather at the princess's residence and discuss a result together."
Shangshu Shi and his party couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes showed the joy that they had made the right bet.
Officials like Dr. Liu who were truly willing to die for the court were either forced to leave the court for various reasons because they offended Jiang Lingrong, or they opposed Jiang Lingrong after the proclamation was introduced into the court and were ordered to be killed by Jiang Lingrong.
Of course, as long as the eldest princess gave the order, they were willing to die for the Southern Dynasty, but the eldest princess did not say whether they would live or die.
Who would want to die if he could live?
The group spoke freely and expressed the pros and cons of war and surrender.
Jiang Fuguang listened for a while and said nothing more than that the main battle was thankless. To put it nicely, it was for the sake of the justice of the family and the country, but the consequences were disastrous.
She looked solemn: "Since ancient times, attacking a city has required more than three times the number of troops. Emperor Guanghe's 200,000 troops are pressing down on the territory. Luojing City is destined to be undefendable."
"However, Luojing City was the capital of the Southern Dynasties. The total number of soldiers and horses totaled 60,000 to 70,000. The generals guarding the city were direct descendants of the Qi family. Like the generals of Zhenbei, they were rare and powerful generals. Given the superiority of the city, if we desperately defend the city, even if Jiang Jun attacks by force, we can defend it for three or four months and consume at least half of Jiang Jun's strength."
If the Southern Dynasties lost, they would lose. Jiang Lingrong's northern expedition triggered a riot in South Vietnam. Western Tibet invaded the south, causing war in the Southern Dynasties. The Qi family's army was unable to do anything.
It’s not about losing on foundation.
As the capital of a country, the defensive strength of the city defenders is absolutely top-notch. If the city defenders fight to the death, Jiang Jun will not be able to get any favors.
