People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 405 Majapahit’s commander led an army of to surrender! !

Tula is very angry now, because it has never thought about fighting the Ming army. Why should it go to a war that it clearly knows is impossible to win?

Of course, many people will ask why you had the nerve to say that you will fight until every soldier is killed, even though you know it is impossible to win.

Of course, he had more reasons to speak out, because he didn't know that the Ming army's combat effectiveness could be so strong, and they had overran several of their cities in a few days.

He didn't believe that any country's logistics support capabilities could reach this level. Doesn't the Ming army need food and drink?
Their weapons are very advanced, but where do their logistical support come from?
Their combat tactics are very powerful and can penetrate the entire Majapahit at once. He can accept these, but don't those people need food and drink?
How could he slip in so easily?

This is a very fatal problem.

If these people may not need food and drink to survive, if you go to work with such a group of people, are you looking for death?

This is really not a question that Tula is confused about, but a question that everyone is confused about.

Why does the Ming army seem to have no need for logistical support capabilities?

Why did the Ming army march so fast and could provide food and grass supplements later?

They turned into the Ming army's grain transport team one after another.

The common people had suffered enough from Majapahit, so as soon as they heard about such a good thing, they immediately took action personally.

Of course the people will like such a king and love such a king.

So much so that Wang Bi now just wants to end this war as soon as possible, and then return to the Ming Dynasty to have a good meal.

It's filling, but it's really unpalatable.

As a result, ordinary people almost do not pay taxes.

Of course, Wang Bi and the others were so eager to finish this battle not because there was no food to eat, nor because the climate here was a bit unbearable.

Basically, people don’t have to pay taxes, so where do the taxes come from?
It's totally obtained from wealthy people.

Just like why so many people in Srivijaya are against the king now, it is because the tax burden issue is too serious.

Simply because the food here is so terrible.

So when they heard that such a good king died in the struggle, they would naturally be angry, so they took up weapons to oppose Majapahit.

Because the entire country is now rich because of the king's reforms, everyone's sense of identity with the country has increased, and of course they must protect the country.

The other soldiers thought so too.

And now Wang Bi directly publicized after regaining the city that our Ming army came to fight because we recruited the top officials of your country. The policy we implemented in your country after driving Majapahit away was the policy implemented by your king. You If you help us now, you are helping yourself.

And this is what makes Tula very confused.

Of course this approach is very dangerous.

The king of Srivijaya was really a genius. He reduced the tax burden on the people to an astonishing degree.

Here Wang Bi must thank the Kings team and the people of Sambuqi for their governance.

We must see how Wang Bi solves this problem.

Because Wang Bi never obtained grain and grass baggage from the ports where the Ming army docked, but obtained grain and grass directly from the people of Sambuqi.

Originally, the land was in the hands of these wealthy people. If they were asked to hand over the land to the people, they would not be willing to do so. The king did not play with them, but directly raised the tax on the rich to a very high level. The level of terror allows these wealthy people to pay taxes to develop national strength.

He himself is a battle-hardened veteran, and he understands that big battles are all about logistical supplies.

No matter how powerful the army is, it will be doomed if it does not have logistical supplies.

But he would never have imagined that those standing behind the Ming army were actually the people of Sanfoqi who had been bullied by them. This is the real person who wins the hearts of the people and wins the world.

The Ming army maintained its fine combat traditions and did no harm to the common people, and thus won the support of the common people.

Tula was sitting on the carriage and said to his men next to him: "The fact that the Ming army can solve the problem of food and grass supply shows that they have complete preparations. With super combat power and perfect logistics support, this is what we have Can a small island country win?”

The subordinates said from the side: "Commander, but now you are forced to look like this, seeing that the army is about to gather. If we don't take over the team, the king will receive the news soon. I'm afraid he won't wait. No matter how we react, their butcher's knife has already come down."

This is really like chicken ribs, which are tasteless and a pity to throw away.

Although he was the highest-ranking general in the country before, there was no place for him to perform. The generals he sent out were either young men or losers. Instead, a truly clear-minded old general like him was able to relax. Originally, now he was a It's a good opportunity to show off your talents, but the Ming army is too powerful. If you bring these troops to fight with others, you will be beaten to pieces in just a few rounds.

So he was very conflicted, whether to become famous forever or to keep his old life.

This is where it gets really annoying.

When there is no chance for you to perform, you feel aggrieved and uncomfortable. When there is a chance for you, you may die next.

After Tula thought for a long time, he slowly said, "Let's pick up all the family members secretly first."

what! !

The men outside were stunned for a moment.

As someone who has been with Tula for more than ten years, he knows what this means.

This may mean preparing to surrender!
"Commander, why don't we consider other methods?" the subordinate said with difficulty.

After all, this is a very careful consideration. If this was not done well and someone discovered it, it would probably lead to a tragic disaster, and maybe even the family members would be killed.

Tula thought for a long time: "We all came from the battlefield. It is clear what the situation of the Ming army is now. Five thousand people can kill 50,000 of us. If we rush forward, we will die. Now we understand that this is what the civilian officials want to do." We push for the final game. If we can win the battle, they will have the confidence to negotiate with the Ming army. If we lose, they will only agree to the Ming army's conditions. There is no loss for them, but for them, For us warriors, this means our lives are at stake.”

When these words came out, his subordinates were also very angry.

It was this group of people who wanted to send troops in the first place, and now it is the same group of people who want to wait for others to die. They are the ones who benefit from the cooperation, and I can only stare at it while I wait for others?
Nothing comes that cheap.

It seems that the old general has thought carefully and picked up all his family members first. Even if he has to grease his feet on the battlefield, his family will not be affected. It is a pity that the properties he has purchased in his hometown over the years will be lost if he escapes. Everything may be destroyed, but compared with life, this is nothing. After understanding this, his men quickly followed the commander's request and quietly picked up his family members, and Tula also successfully arranged for his family members to be in a safe place.

It is estimated that Majapahit's senior officials never dreamed that Tula could do such a ruthless thing with just one sentence.

Then, without any worries, Tula and Majapahit managed to gather 30,000 troops and horses within half a month and rushed to the front line.

In fact, the soldiers and horses Tula carried in his hands were not fools.

All kinds of news have been flying all over the place for so many days.

For example, the Ming army has now come over and is attacking the city on the front line. They are even using the legendary cannons that can breach the city wall in one go.

It's not a problem to blow up the city wall, let alone what the consequences will be if it blows up people.

There are even rumors that all the soldiers can breathe fire and fly. They are simply possessed by the God of War and are not mortals at all. The weapons they hold can discharge electricity and can kill people at once from a few hundred meters away.

After these rumors spread in the military camp, these soldiers had no intention of fighting. They just thought that it would be best not to encounter them.

The best thing is for us to go west. People have already gone north. If we don't encounter them, we just go to the border for a walk, and then return to our hometown smoothly.

But what they didn't expect was that as they slowly moved to the border, their generals received more information about the Ming army.

By the end, the whole team was restless.

Because we were still marching, we could already see many refugees running back from the border.

After asking, I found out that the Ming army had advanced hundreds of miles.

You must know that the entire depth of their country is only more than a thousand miles.

People have already pushed half of it.

Then you can meet the Ming army without going to the border.

An atmosphere of terror spread among the team, and everyone was trembling with fear.

It has only been so long, and half of the country has already been lost.

How on earth do the people in front defend their territory?
Even if there were tens of thousands of pigs blocking the way, the Ming army wouldn't be able to catch them all in a short while.

However, they soon saw deserters one after another.

These deserters were miserable. They didn't have any complete clothes on their bodies and were almost naked. After asking, they found out that they were escaping from the front line. They were not fully clothed because they ran in such a hurry.

In other words, these people may have been sleeping in the camp when the Ming army attacked, and they ran away without even resisting.

Tula interrogated some deserters at the time, "You people are not human beings. Why don't you even dare to resist? What kind of soldiers are you? People like you will not get good results after you go back."

But I didn’t expect these deserters to say plausibly: "General, if you have the ability, go and fight the Ming army. No one saw it, only a banging sound was heard, and then the brothers were shot through the head by something inexplicable. You have never seen that scene before, and you will never forget it if you do.”

"Yes, you have never seen their weapons. From a few hundred meters away, there was a loud bang and something sprayed out, which destroyed the city wall. This is something that humans can do. ? We don’t dare to go head-to-head with such people. We still want our lives. If you don’t want your lives, just go ahead.”

"Now even if you deal with us under military law, you still don't want us to go to the battlefield and be killed by these monsters. We won't go."

Seeing this group of soldiers who had been frightened out of their courage for a long time, Tula's face became even more excited.

correct!

It's exciting!
He had been ready to surrender for a long time, but he couldn't say it so early.

After all, he is also an old general of Majapahit, and his subordinates still have a lot of loyalty and loyalty to the country.

Maybe if you say it rashly, some radical people will pull out a knife and stab themselves to death, then raise their arms and shout loudly: The enemy is also a human being. Do they have more arms and more heads than us? Since there is no one, why should we be afraid of them? Now this old guy dares to propose surrender. He deserves to die. We will fight to the last soldier.

If that's the case, your death will be in vain.

But now it's different. The Ming army's very powerful terror effect, after layer by layer, has now convinced all the soldiers that what we are about to face are not people, but a bunch of monsters.

If we are facing people, we can still fight with them, but if we are facing a group of monsters, it would be very stupid to fight.

Therefore, the old man is a thief. The more deserters there are, the more he wants to interrogate these deserters in front of everyone. He even conveys to people that these people do not mean to be deserters, but that they have no choice. All the soldiers were shrouded in this kind of terror. When it finally reached the extreme, he stood up again and shouted: We can't die so cowardly. The civil servants don't treat us as human beings, and we ourselves have to treat ourselves as non-human beings. , we just want to live.

It's a matter of course now.

Tula's men understood his operation and admired him very much. In this way, if he chose the surrender theory in the military camp, he would probably not be in any danger.

In this case, your life is guaranteed.

The day has come.

After they walked slowly on the road for five days, they finally encountered the Ming army attacking the city. They even received a request for help from the defenders of the city in front.

But at this time, these soldiers had already begun to tremble before they actually faced the Ming army.

Because this city is a relatively famous city in the west, it is said that the previous kings personally urged its construction at that time. Because the king personally supervised the construction, this city is very strong and cannot be compared with ordinary cities.

For this reason, this city called Gongya City has become an important trade, economic, and military town in the west. However, such a city did not hold on for a day and was about to be breached by the Ming army. The five thousand defenders inside were Trembling with fear.

It is even said that a large hole has been blown into the city wall that is more than one meter thick. Now the Ming army is shouting at the west gate of the city, what will happen if they rush in if they don't surrender.

It doesn't matter if the defenders inside were scared and ran away.

Just at this time, the defenders heard that Tula was coming with 30,000 fresh troops, so they immediately came to ask for help.

As soon as Tula heard about this good thing, he was immediately ready to surrender...
