At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 42 Surrender is understandable
Compared with Cui Bin and other prisoners of the Yuan army, the original treatment of their own people was much better. For example, Xu Zhiqiong, the former Guangdong manager and knowledgeable about Guangzhou, and Liang Xiongfei, the recruiting envoy, were wandering around at the moment.

Seeing the orderly flow of people on the street and the smiles on their faces, Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help but sigh: "You can see the benefits of His Majesty's new policy by looking at the people."

Liang Xiongfei said: "If we could have known that the imperial court would recover like this, why would it have happened in the first place?"

"Time is also destiny, and no one can control it at all." Xu Zhiqiong was also helpless.

When Xu Zhiqiong received the imperial decree of surrender, he surrendered without much thought.

There are so many generals in the imperial court who can't fight, how can Guangzhou fight?Rather than waiting for the soldiers of the Yuan army to overwhelm the border and kill them, it is better to vote early.

As a result, the Yuan army did not arrive, but Jiang Yuan led the army to arrive first.

Without saying a word, Xu Zhiqiong tore down the banner of the Yuan State and returned to the warm embrace of the Song State.

If someone has not been demoted to the Yuan Dynasty, Jiang Huang can appoint him on the spot. For someone like Xu Zhiqiong who has been demoted and returned to the Yuan Dynasty, Jiang Guan could not make up his mind, so he sent it back to the central government for disposal.

After a long time, Liang Xiongfei said: "I never expected that the emperor was so wise that he actually killed the Yuanlu and was defeated, and even captured one of the provincial Pingzhang officials. If Lin'an had such a result, why would we have to suffer the loss of our innocence."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "It doesn't matter, the matter is over, just wait for the court to make an announcement."

Liang Xiongfei said: "When I arrived in Wenzhou, although I didn't see him, he was not detained or restrained. I think his life is safe. Now that the emperor has recovered, there will always be a result."

While the two were chatting, soldiers came to see them and were summoned by His Majesty.

The two of them hurriedly tidied up their appearance and followed the soldiers as they arrived.

Outside the door, dozens of officials were lined up waiting, all former officials, including Qin Zhengjun of Zhiding Prefecture, Qi Quan of Zhichu Prefecture, Qian Rong of Zhimei Prefecture and other prefecture and county local officials.

Not long after entering the queue, the imperial guard issued an edict and everyone came to see him.

Entering inside, Xu Zhiqiong did not dare to raise his head, and bowed down with everyone, shouting: "The guilty minister Xu Zhiqiong pays homage to our emperor, long live my emperor."

"Excuse me, let me be flat." Zhao Shi's voice could not hear any joy or anger.

When everyone was worried, Zhao Shi said: "Lin'an City was destroyed, the imperial court surrendered, and the Empress Dowager issued an edict to surrender. This was the last resort for orphans and widowed mothers to survive.

You are receiving a salary from the court, but you are unable to do court affairs. You surrender when things can still be rectified. The euphemistic name is that you surrender under the imperial edict. Isn't this too much for a woman and a child? "

"I am guilty of death." Everyone bowed again.

Zhao Shidao said: "Fortunately, you are thinking of your homeland. Master Wang will return at the right time. It shows that you are still loyal and righteous, and you can pay for your crimes and perform meritorious service."

To be honest, Zhao doesn't like this group of people. If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. Compared to Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and even Chen Yizhong, this group of people are scum, but compared to those who stubbornly resist and abscond, these people The crowd has been pretty good.

And in order to set an example for other descendants, this group of people still have to use it.

Zhao Shidao said: "Now that you have all been demoted and appointed, you must be loyal, benevolent and love the people, and work hard to govern the place. However, if there are those who neglect their duties, harm the people, or cooperate with prisoners, their crimes will not be forgiven, and I will punish them with thunder."

Xu Zhiqiong was the first to reply: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. I will repay you with all my heart and soul."

"Very good." Zhao Shi nodded, and said: "Zhuqing encourage yourself."

After saying that, Zhao stood up and left.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they had made the right bet.

Generally speaking, those who dare to surrender and come to Wenzhou know that their lives are safe and there is a high probability that they will be activated.

As for Qianjinshi Horse Bones, the first batch of people will always get preferential treatment, but the following may not.

The acquaintances chatted for a while and then dispersed. Xu Zhiqiong thought about it and walked to the school grounds.

Liang Xiongfei asked: "Where is Zhizhou going?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Huang Wanshi took Tingzhou to fight against the king's army. He was defeated and captured. He was escorted here. I want to visit him."

"That fool!" Liang Xiongfei said disdainfully: "The Yuan captives were powerful, and there was an edict. They surrendered as soon as they surrendered. When Master Wang came back, he still resisted. Isn't he a fool?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "We finally met each other, so I'll give you some food and wine as a farewell."

The court's attitude was very clear. Those who surrendered and returned could be demoted and retained, while those who stubbornly resisted would surely die.

Otherwise, other surrendered ministers must have followed suit. Anyway, there is no harm in resisting failure. If you win, it will be a great achievement, and the Yuan Court will definitely reward you with a promotion. According to general practice, everyone recruits surrendered ministers according to the grade of their original position. This is how you earn. Why not do things?
Carrying food and drink to the school grounds, and after getting approval, he walked to the prison area. Xu Zhiqiong went straight to Huang Wanshi's place, only to see him lying with disheveled hair and eyes staring blankly.

It is completely understandable for people waiting to die.Xu Zhiqiong called out: "Brother Zigu, are you okay?"

Huang Wanshi regained his composure, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile, "I don't know who it is, but it turned out to be Brother Guangde."

"Brother Wen is here. My younger brother brought some drinks and came to visit." With that said, Xu Zhiqiong opened the food box, took out the drinks, roasted chicken and other items and set them out.

"Very good." Huang Wanshi took the wine cup through the fence, drank it all in one gulp, and sighed: "I have wine to see you off, no regrets!"

A person next to him shouted: "Brothers, can I ask for a bowl of wine?"

"This is Tian Zhenzi, whose name is Cunxing. He originally knew Quanzhou." Huang Wanshi introduced him, poured a bowl of wine and handed it over, saying: "You and I will go to Huangquan together. We will not be lonely if we travel together."

The food and wine were moved between the two cells, and the three of them sat on the floor, eating and drinking.

During the chat, the topic naturally turned to the current situation.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "At this time, the world is overturned. For the sake of the people and oneself, it is necessary to lower the Yuan Dynasty. However, the imperial court is revived and the king's army is at the city. Why resist?"

Huang Wanshi said: "We have no choice but to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. If we surrender to the Song Dynasty again, how can we survive in the world?"

I don't know whether to confide in my heart or insinuate, anyway, Xu Zhiqiong doesn't care about this dying person.

However, Tian Zhenzi complained: "The king's troops came to the city and did not come to recruit him. Instead, they lined up to attack the city. Seeing that his soldiers were weak, how could we capture him without any help?

But I didn't want the thunder to roll, and Quanzhou was destroyed in half a day. The younger brother was unsuccessful in the street battle and was arrested. He didn't come to persuade him to surrender, but sent him to Wenzhou to wait for the imperial pen and Zhu's approval. "

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Others kill chickens to scare monkeys, but the Grand Master kills monkeys to honor chickens. Brother Cunxing is really unlucky."

He pitied others, but he didn't know that if the emperor hadn't cheered up and changed the situation, his and Guangzhou's fate would have been much more miserable.

Following the imperial edict, they surrendered. When Wang Shi arrived, they immediately changed their banners. Yuan soldiers came to attack. They surrendered again. Wang Shi arrived again. He abandoned the city and fled. He was accused and killed by the Yuan soldiers. Yuan soldiers arrived three times, massacred the people and demolished the city. Guangzhou was destroyed. Once, it will never happen again in 20 years.

It’s just that everyone doesn’t know, otherwise they would have said, “Lu Fengxian is a true gentleman!”

Huang Wanshi said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you die, it's better than half-heartedness."

Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help but said: "Brother Zigu, there is no need to make insinuations. It is the general trend that we surrender in response to the imperial edict. However, we are still from the Song Dynasty. When Master Wang returns, we should return."

"My little brother wants to return to the imperial court, but I can't help it." Tian Zhenzi was very frustrated, completely forgetting his original ambition to fight against the Song army with Pu Shougeng by having enough troops and food.

"If a man dies in state affairs, he will be rewarded by the court, so why bother!"

Huang Wanshi looked at the opposite side, took a breath and said, "You Han people are serving the captives and helping Zhou to persecute you to this point. How can you speak with dignity!"

Cui Bin sneered and said nothing.

Xu Zhiqiong said: "The thunder in the sky in our country is fierce. More than [-] Yuan soldiers were killed in two battles. The situation has changed. Why doesn't Cui Gong return to his evil ways and return to his original ways?"

Cui Bin replied: "The Yuan Dynasty has a heroic leader, countless virtuous ministers and generals, the army dares to fight to the death, the territory is boundless, the people and material resources are at a loss, and the mere children defeat the army, they have weapons, so why hold on?"

"The great defense of Huayi must not be forgotten!" Xu Zhiqiong sneered: "If all the relatives and relatives of the Duke are not in the north, is it possible to surrender?"

Cui Bin said: "China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia, and it has the beauty of wearing seals, so it is called Hua. Now my Lord has prepared all of them. How can it not be orthodox?"

"Without a name or surname, how can it be considered orthodox?" Xu Zhiqiong said.

People with different ideas and backgrounds cannot pee in the same pot.

Huang Wanshi said: "Yuanlu's lackey, talking too much is useless, and he drinks too much."

"If it weren't for the dogs helping the tyrants, why would Yuanlu go south? How could we end up like this!" Tian Zhenzi shouted angrily.

Without the full help of the Han people in the north, even if the Mongols destroyed the Jurchens, there would most likely be a confrontation between the north and the south. In that case, if everyone holds high positions, drinks and dances every day, and has endless joy, how can they become people waiting to die? Woolen cloth.

Cui Bin closed his eyes and stopped talking.

When Zhao Paopao, Qin Hui said, "Southerners return to the south, northerners return to the north", the northern and southern Han people completely broke apart. To this day, those in the north who do not serve in the Yuan Dynasty only regard themselves as survivors of the Jin Dynasty, and do not think that they have anything to do with the Song Dynasty. relation.

For example, Yuan Haowen, who wrote "Direct Education for Life and Death", he could make friends with officials in order to protect others, and he could persuade Kublai Khan to become the "Great Master of Confucianism" for the sake of Confucian inheritance, but he has always regarded himself as a survivor of the Jin Kingdom. Become an official.
