Chapter 729
"What? Ichiro Nakade also wants to surrender?"

"Yes, my lord."

"Isn't he going to fight to the end?"

"My imperial palace is even dissatisfied with the behavior of the family heads in the city. It also understands that it is unable to resist the Ming army's attack outside the city. It is better to surrender directly and preserve its strength. Isn't there an old saying in the Ming Dynasty, which is to keep the green mountains? Don’t be afraid of running out of firewood.”

"."

As the old saying goes, your mother, Mei Yunuozi frowned.

If you are afraid of death, you are afraid of death. What does it have to do with the old saying of Daming?
"Go back and tell your Patriarch that we will meet at Ximen at midnight tonight. We will go out of the city and surrender to the Ming army together."

"Yes! The little one resigns!"

"Don't let the news leak!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

The visitor got the desired result and immediately ran back to report.

What happened next was beyond Mei Yunuozi's expectation.

People kept coming to ask him when he would leave the city and surrender, and by the time Kuaizishi arrived, there were already more than a dozen of them.

He felt that his decision was really right. If he foolishly resisted to the end, he might end up being secretly betrayed by these guys.

When the time came, Meiyunaozi, who was already prepared, took his family and warriors and walked towards the west city gate under the night.

Not long after he left the house, he met someone who was discussing surrender with him.

People from the two parties got together in one place tacitly, and there was no complicated communication throughout the process.

Before Meiyunaozi's team reached the west gate, nearly 2000 people had gathered.

With so many people together, it is inevitable that there will be noise, but in the houses along the way, the people are all trembling with fear, and dare not open the door to check. Only the undulating barking of dogs echoes in the dark night sky.

Finally, under the leadership of Mei Younaozi, the large force finally arrived at the gate of the west city.

The city gate at this time was guarded by members of one of their families. Since they had passed through the air beforehand, they opened the city gate immediately after seeing them coming.

Mei Yunuozi and the others did not hesitate, and immediately filed out.

Everything in the city was naturally under Zheng Zhilong's surveillance, from the moment there was movement to when they came out of the city gate.Zheng Zhilong has made sufficient preparations.

Therefore, Mei Yunuozi and others met the muskets raised by the Ming army without going far out of the city.

"Put down your weapons and kneel down!"

In the darkness, there was a loud shout, which made Mei Yunuozi and the others tremble.

kneel down?
How embarrassing is that?
"I'll count to three, or fire immediately! One!"

"What should I do, Mei Yu-san!?"

Hearing what the other party said, Mei Yunaozi hadn't made up his mind yet, and the others got anxious first.

"We are people from the city who came out of the city to surrender. Please help report to your general! We have no hostility!"

Mei Yunuozi yelled at the surrounding people, trying to make the Ming army treat them better.

After all, even if you surrender, you have to have some dignity, right?

"two!"

But Meiyunaozi was doomed to be disappointed, the other party did not respond, but continued to shout loudly.

This made him feel very insulted. Even when he surrendered to Amin, Amin treated him with courtesy. How could he live humiliatingly in this way when he came to Daming, which is known as the state of etiquette?
"I want to see you generals!"

Meiyunaozi was not reconciled, and shouted loudly again.

"one!"

His response was still an emotionless countdown.

After that, there was a pause of a few seconds.

In these few seconds, whether it is Meiyunaozi or the heads of other families.They are all thinking about a question.

Will the Ming army shoot?
If not, that's great.On behalf of them in this surrender, they have won a rare dignity.

If so, how?resist?What should I do if I can't beat it?
If you don't resist, let them shoot and kill?

As if to extinguish their luck, the voice of the Ming army shouter suddenly became agitated after a moment's pause:
"Fire!"

"boom!"

The soldiers who had already made full preparations pulled the trigger without hesitation, and a series of gunshots pierced the sky in the dark night, startling the crows on the trees in the distance and flying to the distance.

With the gunshot, the surrounding warriors fell down in response, screaming again and again.

This time, Meiyun Naozi was terrified.

Ming people play for real, they are not scaring people!

"Mei Yousang! What to do!?" A family head shouted in a crying voice.

How to do?
I don't know what to do either!

Or, kneel down and surrender?
This thought jumped wildly in his mind, and he couldn't hold it back anymore.

Eventually, the will to survive got the better of him and bent his knees.

"Kneel down! Kneel down and surrender!"

Think of it as kneeling on the tatami mat, kneeling every day anyway.

Mei Yunuozi comforted herself while kneeling down.

When he knelt down like this, the warriors under him naturally didn't hesitate anymore, and they all knelt down on the ground.

Then came the heads and warriors of other families, like wheat waves blown down by a strong wind, knelt down quickly on the ground, fearing that they would be killed by the muskets of the Ming army if they took a step too late.

The whole process sounds slow, but it is actually very fast.

During this process, the firearms of the Ming army never stopped outputting, and warriors kept screaming and falling to the ground.

In front of the Ming army camp, Zheng Zhilong was listening to his subordinates' report.

"Kneeling?"

"Kneel down."

"Cease fire and bring their leaders here!"

"Yes, Chief Soldier."

As the soldiers went away, Zheng Zhilong turned his head and looked at the Japanese standing beside him.

"Didn't you say that the people in the city will not surrender?"

"Sir, these people are people with ulterior motives. Even if they surrender, they are just waiting for an opportunity to cause trouble. Otherwise, why would they leave the city in the middle of the night? If not for your foresight, I am afraid that the surrender now might have turned into a night attack!"

The Japanese twitched his mouth first, then rolled his eyes, thinking of an idea.

"Oh?" Zheng Zhilong smiled noncommittally. "According to what you said, are they really planning something evil?"

"Yes! Especially Mayunako, who is extremely cunning and cunning! When Hatoamin captured Kochi, he was willing to be his lackey and killed many of our Japanese people. Don't be fooled by him, sir. !”

Zheng Zhilong sneered and said nothing.

The gunfire stopped, and after a while, the soldiers escorted several Japanese people to Zheng Zhilong, including Mei Younaozi, the backbone of the team.

But compared to when they came, there were fewer Patriarchs, because the unlucky people had already died from the shooting just now.

"Who is Mei Yunaozi? Is he dead?"

Several people knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up, Zheng Zhilong looked down at them and asked.

Mei Younaozi trembled with fright when she heard that Zheng Zhilong was the first to come to him, but she also knew that in this situation, she did not dare to pretend to be confused, so she raised her head slightly and spoke cautiously.

"My lord, I am Meiyunaozi."

"Head up."

Zheng Zhilong ordered.

Meiyunaozi raised her head according to her orders.

"Go to bed Meiye, come and identify me. Is this the extremely treacherous Mei Yunaozi in your mouth?"
