Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 278 King Qin’s Intention

After talking with Du Ziping, Zhu Ping gained a deeper understanding of the internal situation of the Chen Dynasty.

Clan politics.

In other words, it is the warlord system, which is the foundation of the Chen Dynasty.

Moreover, with the development of those families, the current Chen family in power has become the weakest.

If the minister is strong and the master is weak, what will be the consequences?
You can refer to the Emperor Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Zhu Fang also knew that the Chen dynasty was eventually replaced by the Hu family.

From this point of view, the surrender of the Chen Dynasty should be the result of the joint request of these families.

They were all afraid that after the Ming army came over, they would face disaster.

Among them, Du Ziping was the pioneer of the capitulation faction, for no other reason than that he came to the Ming Dynasty, visited Panyu Mansion, and saw with his own eyes what kind of place it was...

A commercial city!

A commercial city in the early Ming Dynasty.

There are tall buildings everywhere.

Compared with Panyu Prefecture, the Chen Dynasty was like a primitive society of slash-and-burn farming.

How to compare?
What's more, the Ming army's guns and artillery are really powerful.

It's almost fatal.

What else can we do if we don’t surrender?
After chatting with Du Ziping, Zhu Xi, who was confident, finally formally summoned Chen Zhaoting, the princess of the Chen Dynasty.

Still in the main hall of Prince Qin's Mansion.

Although it was only a royal palace, Chen Zhaoting was shocked by its scale and luxury. She also met Zhu Ping with an uneasy mood. After meeting, she paid homage to Zhu Ping with the etiquette of a minister.

This time, Zhu Xi did not refuse. He asked: "If the Chen Dynasty surrenders to our Ming Dynasty, is your father really willing?"

"My father is willing to return to His Majesty the King of Qin!"

Chen Zhaoting answered quickly.

Zhu Fang smiled and said, "Does the entire country agree?"

Chen Zhaoting said: "Other people don't know, but our father and daughter are indeed willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty."

"After you surrender, what are your requirements?" Zhu Ping smiled and said: "Whether you want glory, wealth, or official titles, just say it! But one thing is that in the future, all officials of the Chen Dynasty, including those from big families, must all Relocation out of South Vietnam.”

"Where are we going then?"

Chen Zhaoting asked: "Panyu Mansion, is that okay?"

She came to the Ming Dynasty and passed through some places on the way, but there was no doubt that Panyu Mansion was the most prosperous.

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "Considering the climate, it should be easier for you to adapt to the climate in Lingnan. Panyu Mansion is indeed a good choice, but your four major families will never be placed in the same state capital, so when the time comes We must separate. If you, the Chen family, want to live in Panyu Mansion, I will not stop you. In addition, I will build you a luxurious residential villa. "

"My father is the emperor of the Chen Dynasty. Although he surrendered, his title cannot be too low. At least he must be crowned king." Chen Zhaoting made her request.

"Haha..." Zhu Xi said: "This king has the same surname. I cannot agree with this. If I agree to you, it will harm your family. The truth behind this, go back and ask more people around you, or Ask your father, he will definitely understand!"

On this point, Zhu Xi's attitude can be said to be very firm.

Chen Zhaoting was helpless when she heard this. As for what Zhu Xi said about the title of king being returned to her father, she didn't need to ask anyone else to know something about this... It was just that she might be liquidated in the future!
Indeed, there was no king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty. If you, the Chen family, want to be the first, you can imagine the consequences.

"My father must be granted the title of Duke, and my title cannot be changed... There was no king with a different surname in the Ming Dynasty. Princesses with different surnames can always be canonized, right?" Chen Zhaoting was sincere and said straightforwardly: "I am willing to worship the Ming Emperor as my adoptive father. If so, Only with the title of princess can my Chen family have a foothold in the Ming Dynasty!"

"can!"

Zhu Xi smiled and said: "I have made the decision and agreed to this matter."

"Congratulations, Your Highness, your great wisdom has allowed you to take over a huge country without bloodshed." Chen Zhaoting bowed down.

Zhu Xi stood up and walked to her, helped her up, looked into her eyes and said, "Do you believe it? The land of this king is so big that you can't imagine it, like the territory of the Chen Dynasty, it is less than One-thirtieth of this king's land! In the future, it will not even reach one percent. However, this king still likes the land of the Chen Dynasty, where rice can be grown, and it is very close to the king's fief... …Princess, you can go back and tell your father to let them prepare for the surrender. After the first seven days of my brother’s brother, I will personally lead the army to the Chen Dynasty to accept your surrender.”

"Then... will the Ming army on the front line retreat?" Chen Zhaoting asked.

This is the crux of the matter.

The Ming army was too fierce.

You can conquer three cities in one day. If you don't withdraw your troops, what's the point of surrendering when Zhu Biaotou passes and Zhu Yu arrives at the Chen dynasty?It is estimated that the Ming army captured all of the Chen Dynasty.

surrender?

I'm afraid it will turn into a joke if the time comes.

"We will not withdraw our troops!"

Zhu Ping's response made Chen Zhaoting's face tighten, but Zhu Ping immediately said: "They will be stationed where they are now, and I also hope that the princess can show sincerity, disband the troops and horses after returning, and then welcome them to your capital... ...Of course, if there are people who are dissatisfied and want to oppose surrender, or there are some families that make your father very unhappy, you can also use them to remove these people for you. This is the opportunity I give you, but Maybe it’s a temptation, I believe you know what you are going to do.”

"His Highness's mind is simply terrifying!"

When Chen Zhaoting heard this, she couldn't help but praise Zhu Chong.

The King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty in front of him is indeed terrifying!
Even though Zhu Xi was just talking and said it very easily, Chen Zhaoting read a lot of information from his words... First of all, Zhu Xi, the King of Qin, knew the conflicts within the Chen Dynasty very well!

Then, Zhu Ping arranged for the Ming army to occupy the city so that they could be used by the Chen family.

Zhu Xi said that if the emperor of the Chen Dynasty wants to deal with someone, he should use the Ming army to deal with him... This is like handing Chen Zhaoting a knife to her father!

And this knife, will the emperor of the Chen Dynasty use it?
Definitely will!

Those who opposed the surrender were all killed.

Everyone who had ever been against the emperor of the Chen Dynasty was also killed.

In this way, Zhu Xi completely eliminated all the opposition forces in the new territory of the Chen Dynasty without staining his hands with blood.

However, he will not bear any infamy!
Even in the future, the people in South Vietnam who he accepted would be completely willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty.

It's a feat!
The most important thing is that Chen Zhaoting knew very well that her father would definitely use the knife handed over by Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xi...

This King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty had a profound insight into the human heart!
