Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 234 Guanyin’s surrender (poor)

Along the way, Li Wei and Hu Hai talked and laughed, like they had been close friends for many years. Hu Hai did not doubt that he was there, so he took this opportunity to ask Li Wei for advice on the use of artillery. Li Wei did not hide his secrets, anyway, he It was just a random guess, and it didn't matter if it belonged to one bottle or less than half the bottle, so it didn't matter if I taught it to Hu Hai.

When the generals saw that Hu Hai was so close to him, they became even more suspicious and classified Hu Hai as one of Li Wei's associates.

The army advanced all the way to Banqiao Town, which was still far away from Yunnan City. They saw a group of former Yuan officials greeting them on the road. Li Wei, Hu Hai, Zhang Yi and others were all surprised.

Mu Ying sent someone to make contact. After a while, his subordinates reported back and found out that it was Guanyin Bao, the right prime minister who was in charge of Yunnan, and Liu Chechebuhua, who was participating in politics, who came to surrender.

Guanyinbao watched the Ming Dynasty's mighty army from a distance, and was very happy for the choice he made. King Liang ran away and left him in the city to defend the city. He was not stupid, so he would not do this to seek death. As soon as King Liang took the people away, he led them out of the city to welcome the surrender.

After Muying received confirmation, she ordered someone to bring them over.

When Guanyin Bao arrived, he immediately raised his official seal and shouted: "Guanyin Bao, the Right Prime Minister under the command of King Liang of the former Yuan Dynasty, respectfully welcomes the Master of the Ming Dynasty!"

Fu Youde was not here, so Mu Ying accepted the ceremony on behalf of the army and then asked: "What is the situation in Yunnan City now?"

"General, when King Liang of the former Yuan Dynasty heard about the arrival of his master, he was so frightened that he fled. The people and soldiers in the city were overjoyed. We thank Master Wang of the Ming Dynasty for driving away this tyrannical, arrogant and lewd thief. I According to everyone's wishes, we will go out to welcome Shili and welcome Master Wang to Yunnan..."

Guanyin Baobala scolded King Liang as a traitor and expressed his loyalty to Mu Ying.

Hu Hai and other generals despised him one after another, and at the same time they felt a little disappointed. This guy led the whole city to surrender directly, so they would have no military merit to gain.

Li Wei thought this was good. He could just go to the city and surrender without fighting.

Mu Ying patiently listened to Guanyin Bao and others' verbosity, and then asked: "Where did King Liang escape to?"

"I saw them fleeing towards Jinning Prefecture. From what they said, they seemed to be hiding in the mountains." Guanyin Bao sold his old owner without hesitation.

Mu Ying nodded lightly, and then ordered General He Fu to lead Guanyin Bao into the city first and take over the city defense.

Guanyinbao did not play tricks, everything went smoothly, and the Ming army easily took over the central city of Yunnan.

After stabilizing the situation in the city, Mu Ying immediately sent troops to Jinning Prefecture to hunt down King Liang.

In Huna Village in the mountains of Jinning Prefecture, the King of Liang lived in a thatched cottage with his wives, concubines, and children, accompanied by Zuo Cheng Jinlu and some soldiers to protect them.

The gorgeous clothes worn by King Liang and others seemed incompatible with this environment.

"Your Majesty, there is news from my subordinates that that bitch Guanyinbao has surrendered the city, and the Ming army is marching here. What should we do?"

Golden Donkey asked aloud.

King Liang looked pale, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Tell me, if we surrender, will the Ming army accept it?"

Jin Lu was stunned when he heard this. It was not that he had never thought of this before, but they had killed several envoys sent by the Ming Dynasty before. Although they were forced by Bei Yuan, they were the ones who did it after all. Could the Ming court really spare them?

"I'm afraid, hey!" Jin Lu shook his head, no matter whether others believed it or not, he didn't believe it anyway.

When King Liang heard this, the last hope in his heart was extinguished. He suddenly lost all hope. Knowing that he had no way to escape, he hanged himself with his wife, children and children that night.

The next day, when the Ming army found them, Golden Donkey and the guards presented the body of King Liang. Looking at the dead King Liang who was wearing a python robe, Mu Ying could not help but admire him:

"Actually, as long as he surrenders, Your Majesty will still treat him leniently. I didn't expect that he would be so strong and would rather die than surrender!"

Li Wei, Hu Hai and other generals also nodded lightly. Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed very tolerant towards surrendered generals and prisoners, and even still allowed them to serve in the army. This was also a gentle strategy. Under this strategy, Bei Yuan Many nobles who could not stand the hardships of the grasslands took the initiative to seek refuge.

As soon as the two people finished their discussion, King Liang's body suddenly twitched, and everyone was shocked! Especially the golden donkey, Lao Gao was so frightened that he hid far away and screamed with a trembling voice:

"The corpse is fake! The prince is cheating the corpse!"

His scream immediately caused a commotion. Li Wei was also startled and quickly hid behind Hu Hai.

Mu Ying shouted to stop the commotion, frowned slightly, and ordered someone to come forward to check.

After some investigation, his men reported back: "Master Hou, he is already dead. The muscle spasm may have been caused by the severe cold, which is a normal phenomenon."

Everyone was crawling out of the pile of dead people, so naturally they were not afraid of the accidental twitching of the corpse, and the commotion quickly subsided.

Li Wei also walked out of Hu Hai, looked at the body of King Liang again, thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and said to Mu Ying:

"I know, he wants to ask you why you didn't tell me earlier!"

Mu Ying: "?"

……

At the Chishui River, Guo Ying and Chen Huan led an army of 50,000 people to gather here, but they were blocked by Shi Bu, King Liang's men. They did not have as powerful artillery as Li Wei, nor as many troops as the main force, so they could only There was a confrontation with Shibu.

However, their mission is to contain them, so this can be regarded as completing the mission.

When Qujing was lost and the news of the Ming army's reinforcements from the north came, Shi Bu immediately ran away with his men, and Guo Ying and others finally reunited with Fu Youde.

Two days later, Fu Youde took Guo Ying and others back to Yunnan and joined Mu Ying's army. Adding Guo Ying's 50,000 troops, the Ming army's strength reached 250,000. Excluding the casualties in these battles, there were 200,000 troops. There are more than ten thousand people.

The army set out in September and basically captured Yunnan in just three months. It was truly invincible and unstoppable.

Fu Youde immediately ordered someone to deliver the good news to Beijing. Li Wei took the opportunity to write a letter and asked him to bring it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now that the new year is approaching, he wants to go home to celebrate the New Year. In this letter, he sincerely expressed his longing for An (xiao) Qing (qing) and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to let him return to Beijing early.

Due to network delays, he waited for seven or eight days before receiving a reply from Zhu Yuanzhang, and it only contained four words: Just stay!

In addition to asking Li Wei to stay calm, Zhu Yuanzhang also issued instructions to the army. Although the army now occupied a dangerous position, the surrounding chieftains still had not surrendered, and rebellions often occurred. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Fu Youde to conquer and build cities at the same time, and established Yunnan Dusi and Chief Envoy.

After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, the Ming army only rested for a few days and then began to conquer again.

Hu Hai, Zhang Yi and others each led tens of thousands of troops and marched to various cities in Yunnan. Mu Ying also personally led Li Wei to capture the city. Although Li Wei lacked interest, Song Zhong and others under him were very active and did not need to He urged and took the initiative to win numerous military honors for him.
