Chapter 416 Chapter [-] The Cold Ending Sound

In Nanzhili, the official army with Xuanda's elite soldiers as the main force attacked on all sides, and most of the connections between Nanjing City and the outside world have been cut off.In mid-May, the army of officials and troops marched to the south of the city where the terrain was relatively flat, and Emperor Xuande also crossed the river and came to the south gate in person after the water battle on the Yangtze River was a foregone conclusion.

Nanjing City was built and strengthened several times after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although it was destroyed once during the Jianwen period, it is still the largest and strongest town in the south of the Yangtze River.There are no less than [-] troops stationed inside, and a strong attack will inevitably be tragic.However, now that the Emperor Xuande has the chance to win, he is not in a hurry. Whether it is to persuade him to surrender or to take it by force, it is only a matter of time before he recovers, and the winner is always very patient.

The one who is in a hurry can only be Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, he feels like being roasted on fire.The imperial army has not officially started the siege of the city, and only fires guns and volleys of firecrackers outside the city to demonstrate every day, which intensifies the tense atmosphere inside. [

Zhu Gaoxu received a secret report from the eunuchs that many civil servants and military generals were colluding to discuss arresting him and leaving the city to sacrifice to General Xuande for atonement.He was afraid and angry, but he couldn't deal with those villains at this time, so he could only pretend not to know.

He can't sleep at night, and when he is too sleepy, he will wake up soon after falling asleep. When he wakes up, he is always worried that someone is holding a knife on his neck.At this time, he secretly had a glimmer of hope, thinking that Xuande and Zhu Zhanji are the son of his elder brother after all, and even though blood is thicker than water after falling out, as long as he takes the initiative to surrender, maybe his nephew can give him a way out of affection.

But Hanwang thought carefully along this idea, and this road is not easy to go through.There are at least a few important people in the army who would not agree to surrender, such as the commanders of the "Five Armies", such as Wang Bin, Wei Da, and Sheng Jian. These people used to be the commanders of the royal guards, and they have been following the rebels wholeheartedly. Knowing that there is no way out in the hands of Emperor Xuande, how could they be willing to surrender?

Moreover, Zhu Gaoxu himself couldn't bear to say that he wanted to surrender in front of his followers, because he had always been tough and domineering in front of others before, so how could he be subdued?

Now no one in the city dares to say surrender, and those who want to surrender are also afraid that the generals in charge of the army will directly kill themselves, so they dare not say so.Only a group of people demanded to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers... The question is, if they could really win, why were they forced to go to the city?

That afternoon, the sun was almost setting, and Wang Bin and other commanders went outside the palace to ask for an audience.When Zhu Gaoxu entered the palace, Wang Bin said: "I heard that someone said to surrender. For the current plan, I would rather fight to the death than surrender. I ask the prince to lead the soldiers out of the city to compete with the officers and soldiers. With the bravery of the prince, There is still a chance of winning!"

At this time Zhu Gaoxu has lost the courage of the past, and Xiongxiong is also a very fragile mortal.The constant sound of gunfire and apprehension made me too exhausted, and despair took over my body and mind.He doesn't think there is any chance on the battlefield, there is still an isolated city left, and the whole battle situation has collapsed, so there is nothing to fight; moreover, he can't effectively control the army in Nanjing City. It is a trivial matter to be destroyed at the touch of a button on the battlefield, and it is very likely that one's own people will do |death contribution.

Sitting in the seat of the Nanjing Imperial Palace where the Taizu once sat, Zhu Gaoxu was silent for a while, and said: "If you want to fight, you must first organize the army. Tomorrow, let the ministers come to the palace to discuss matters, and make arrangements after long-term discussions."

After hearing this, Wang Bin and others went back with a little satisfaction.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that the matter could no longer be delayed, and learned that his nephew Zhu Zhanji was outside the city at the South Gate, so he secretly made arrangements that night.Early the next morning, he asked the eunuch to arrange for the officials to enter the palace according to the rules, changed into civilian clothes, and hurried out through the small gate of the imperial city with only one eunuch.

He went out of the city and went straight to the army camp, but was captured by scouts on Xiantuyelu.The soldiers didn't know him, so they tied him up first. After hearing the news, the ministers came to recognize him, and then they confirmed the identity of the King of Han.At this time, the King of Han was dressed in civilian clothes, and his clothes were messed up when he was captured, and he looked very embarrassed.

When it came to the big tent, Zhu Zhanji, who was the winner, was sitting majesticly on the top seat, while Zhang Fu, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji and other important officials lined up on both sides and glared.Zhu Gaoxu lowered his noble head that had been rebellious for many years, his knees softened, and he knelt down and bowed to his nephew, who was also the emperor: "I know that I deserve death for my crime, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."

All the ministers expressed their opinions one after another, counting the crimes of the King of Han face to face, and asking the emperor to directly punish him in the army.

Since the Yongle Dynasty, no one dared to offend the King of Han, whether it was a noble or a minister.But now they can scold in person, without any pressure, and everyone seems to let out the anger that has been pent up for many years.

But the emperor quickly stopped the words of the ministers, and did not order the execution of the king of Han, nor did he say that he was guilty of death. Don't hate him, this uncle has been bullying their father and son for many years, and finally tried to seize the throne while he was just enthroned, this kind of thing is unbearable for any emperor.But Zhu Zhanji felt that he had endured it for such a long time, and now he had to rush to kill him.

Zhu Zhanji immediately ordered that the King of Han send a letter back to the city and summon his sons.So far, the King of Han has no choice but to follow his words.

Wu Wu in the city learned that the King of Han had dispatched out of the city to surrender. For a while, the leaders of the dragons had collapsed. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers did not take advantage of the situation to attack the city. Otherwise, how would they defend the city in such a situation?

Just at this time, the imperial decree was sent into the city.The emperor pardoned the army's crimes and let them give up their weapons and become the subjects of Ming Dynasty again.An imperial edict immediately prevented the prosperous Nanjing from suffering another disaster.As a result, the morale of the Han army was completely lost, and none of the soldiers wanted to fight against the official army.

The military power of Wang Bin and others disappeared instantly at this moment, and the power was nothing more than that. No one would listen to their orders and work hard.The culprits also knew that the situation was over, and they finally retained a little grace and left the palace quietly. [

On the long street outside the south gate of the imperial city, the people in the market closed their doors and closed their homes, and there were few pedestrians, as if it had suddenly become deserted.The handymen who cleaned the streets hadn't worked for a few days, and some leaves and sundries had accumulated on the road, which would float in the air when the wind blew.

Wang Bin, an eight-foot man in military armor, looked up at the scene at this moment, and his eyes were full of hurt, which was not suitable for a warrior.Back then, when the banners covered the sky and the iron armor was like clouds, and the soldiers raised up to conquer the city, even if they were to be defeated, it seemed that they should die vigorously on the battlefield; but where are those passionate things now?There are only a few lonely people left, and the deserted long street.

Unexpectedly, it would end like this, and I had to let people sigh and sigh.The gray sky reminds people of the future in the underworld, and the whole world seems to have gradually entered the tranquility of death.Wu learned that the King of Han had dispatched out of the city to surrender.
