Chastity Layman

  Chapter 354 Destruction of the country

  Duan Decao stood on the top of the city gate, looking at Liang Guojiang, who was kneeling on the ground below the city. Although his face was expressionless, his heart was already overwhelmed.

  The head of Liang Shi who was held high was not far away. Duan Decao's eyes were very good, and he recognized his opponent who had been fighting with him for ten years at a glance.

   It was him, it was him.

  He never imagined that Liang Shidu died like this, and his nephew knelt in front of Tang Jun, holding his head high.

   "Quickly report to Duke Yi!"

  In Yinzhou City, the backyard of the former governor's mansion.

  Qin Lang just woke up.

  A bowl of boiled milk tea, served with a bowl of haggis noodles, with some garlic sprouts in it, the taste is really fragrant.

   "Under the festival, Liang Shi was beheaded by his nephew Liang Luoren to surrender, and tens of thousands of Liang troops outside the city surrendered!" General Youwuwei Li Zihe came to report excitedly.

   "Duke Yi, have you eaten yet?" Qin Lang picked up a large chopstick and brought the noodles to his mouth, sucking them happily.

  Li Zihe is in no mood to have breakfast at this time, "Under the festival, great news, Master Liang has been beheaded, and all his troops have come to surrender!"

   "Well, as expected."

   "Please also go to the city gate to accept the surrender!"

"Don't be in a hurry, wait for me to finish eating this noodle first, the cook in Yinzhou Yamen is good, this haggis noodle tastes really good, and this milk tea is also very good, I plan to take him back to Chang'an, you Let’s try it too, it’s a pity not to try it.”

  Li Zihe thought to himself, what time is this? There are 30,000 Liang soldiers and 20,000 civilians outside, and more than 50,000 people in total are standing in the snow and snow waiting to surrender. You are still in the mood to eat noodles and drink tea.

   "Don't worry, Liang Luoren has already been instigated by me, so today's incident was actually planned by me alone. Now, letting them stand outside for more meetings can be regarded as a small punishment for resisting Tianwei for many years."

  Qin Lang enjoyed the breakfast leisurely, and finally did not forget to comment, "I think the key is that the mutton is good. The Tan mutton in Yinyanxia is delicious, and the sheep in other places are really incomparable."

   "Under the festival, let's hurry up and accept the surrender!"

   There are tens of thousands of horses standing outside.

   Liang divisions were all beheaded, Liang Jun please surrender, this is a big deal.

Although Liang Shidu was not considered a powerful figure in the anti-kingdom at the end of the Sui Dynasty, whether it was Li Mi, Du Fuwei, Wang Shichong, or Liu Heitai, they were all stronger than him, even Liu Wuzhou and Dou Jiande were stronger than him, and Xue Ju and Li Gui are both outstanding figures.

   But after all, Liang Shi is the last anti-king in this world, the last one who pretends to be the emperor.

  Although Shuofang's power is small, it is also a fake Liang Dynasty.

   This is also the achievement of destroying the country.

  Who wouldn't want to get credit for it fast.

   However, Qin Lang really held his breath, and Li Zihe really admired this young handsome man.

  When Qin Lang came to Qianya, all the generals had heard the news, and congratulated with joy on their faces.

"Master Liang is nothing more than a desperate rebel. It is nothing to praise him if he is destroyed. The desolation of Master Liang is the result of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression over the years. I am just here to clean up the battlefield. Let's go!" Bar!"

  Qin Lang didn't even change his armor, it was still the same robe he wore for breakfast in the morning.

   All the way to the city gate.

  Duan Decao quickly ordered to open the city gate.

   "Duke Yi, Jiang Ren has been waiting outside for an hour, and the snow is up to his ankles."

   "So what? They are descendants and have resisted the power of God for ten years. Let them wait for an hour now, has it passed?" Qin Lang asked back.

  Duan Decao was stunned for a moment, and felt that this was the reason. Now that Liang Jun surrendered, it was a desperate situation. It was a different matter from the previous Liang generals who surrendered.

   Just wait, can they still have an opinion?

  He understands that Qin Lang's indifference for a short period of time will let these generals understand their current situation and realize the reality. They have no room to bargain with the imperial court.

  The city gate slowly opened.

  Lang Luoren and others outside the city gate were almost frozen into snowmen, but they were covered in snow and did not dare to shake.

  Everyone was kneeling in the snow, and everyone was frozen.

   Seeing that the city gate finally opened, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  The torment of this hour is still very effective, allowing them to carefully consider the current situation, and let them understand that they have no bargaining chips now.

  Qin Lang walked out of the city gate, stood at the gate of the city, but did not step forward.

The snow is heavy, and the weather this year is really evil. If Qin Lang didn't know a little history, he would have thought that the small ice river had started now. This should be just a special cooling cold snap. There has indeed been such a three-year cold snap in history.

   It was this cold current that made Turkic even worse, and was directly destroyed by Tang.

Several years of cold snaps have severely froze the cattle and sheep on the northern grasslands, and their strength has plummeted. Coupled with Tang's **** of the world, it is difficult for the Turkic people to effectively go south to rob and survive the crisis. They were able to fight among themselves, but in the end Tang seized the opportunity. When the two tigers were fighting with each other, they both suffered losses, and hit Khan Court with one blow, destroying the East Turks.

   This should be the so-called Wang Qi, Datang Xing, even God began to help.

  Qin Lang stopped moving forward.

  Liang Luoren and other generals who were a hundred steps away were stunned.

  Ji Hu Shuai Xin Liaoer was a little dissatisfied and wanted to stand up, but Liang Luoren grabbed him.

   "Don't mess around!"

   "But they are too bullying!"

   "What kind of bullying is this? We served the Turks back then, and they were even more rude to us. Now we come to surrender because we show our sincerity."

   "What sincerity?" Xin Liaoer was puzzled.

  Liang Luoren said coldly, "Follow me!"

   After finishing speaking, he didn't stand up, just walked forward on his knees, and in the thick snow, he used his knees to make a snow mark, and knelt one by one in front of Qin Lang, the city gate.

  Xin Liaoer froze.

  The other generals also hesitated.

  But seeing Liang Luoren kneeling forward step by step, Qin Lang and the others at the city gate did not respond.

   They had no choice but to grit their teeth and kneel forward.

   Kneeling for an hour, now I can't stand up again and turn around and leave.

  The scene where hundreds of members of the fake Liang Jiang came kneeling together was amazing.

  Duan Decao, Li Zihe and others couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

  Qin Lang stood there with a smile on his face.

   "Very well, this time, there should be no half-hearted people on the false beam."

   This time, the last bit of rebelliousness in the hearts of these hypocritical Liang people was completely defeated, and their spines were broken.

Step by step.

  With a distance of one hundred steps, Liang Luoren walked on his knees for the time required to make a cup of tea.

   waited to kneel in front of Qin Lang.

  Liang Luoren didn't dare to show any resentment, he held Liang Shidu's frozen head with both hands, and knelt down on the ground.

   "The guilty general Liang Luoren beheaded and killed the false Liang Emperor Liang Shidu, please surrender with his head and troops!"

  Qin Lang chuckled twice.

   Ah Huang stepped forward and took the head.

  Duan Decao took a few glances, "Duke Yi, this is indeed the leader of Liang Ni!"

   "Find a box and put it in a box, tell the head Chang'an, and dedicate to His Majesty!"

  Qin Lang finally took two steps forward, reached out to help Liang Luoren who was frozen stiff, and even patted the snow on his body.

   "General Liang, we finally meet. You have fulfilled your promise to me. I am very happy."

  Liang Luoren's face was bloodless, and his upper and lower lips were trembling non-stop.

   "Fortunately, the mission is fulfilled!"

   "Get up!"

   "This commander represents the Tang court, and now accepts your request to surrender!"

  The officers above the rank of the Liang army were all invited by Qin Lang into the city to give a banquet, while the rest of the Liang army soldiers and civilian husbands camped outside the city.

  Qin Lang ordered to take the livestock and grain directly from Liang Jun's heavy camp, kill cattle and sheep, cook rice and stew soup, and reward the soldiers.

   Tens of thousands of Liang troops disarmed without firing a single gun. According to Qin Lang's request, they all took off their armor and handed over their swords and arrows. They were all unarmed.

   Grain, grass and livestock are all taken over by Tang Jun.

  According to Yinzhou's case, for those civil and military officials of Liang Jun, the grades are temporarily reserved for use.

   "After this meal is finished, the soldiers and civilians will all be disarmed and return to the fields. They will follow the commander-in-chief's army and return to Shuofang."

   Early the next morning.

  Qin Lang led Yanyin troops out of the city.

   Braving the wind and snow, soldiers and horses crossed the Great Wall and headed for Shuofang City in Xiazhou.

   Tens of thousands of Liang troops finally rushed to Yinzhou, but most of them were ordered by Qin Lang to follow the Tang army and return to Shuofang.

  It was a lot of hard work when we came, but it was much easier when we came back. Each person was given dry food, and a group of ten people was given a tent, so that they could go together, and they didn’t need to carry extra armor and armor. It was a lot easier.

   There is no psychological pressure anymore.

   Along the way, many Xiazhou soldiers even sang there.

  Master Liang walked from Xiazhou to Yinzhou for more than ten days.

   Two hundred miles away, Qin Lang dispatched troops, but it only took three days to arrive at Shuofang with Qingqi vanguard.

  The edge of the Gobi Desert.

  Between heaven and earth, a white city stands on the Gobi Desert.

   This is the famous Baichengzi.

   "Duke Yi, this is Xiazhou City, the capital city built by Helian Bobo, a noble from the Tiefu tribe of the Huns, after establishing the Great Xia Kingdom, and it is the unified city!"

  Liang Luoren introduced to Qin Lang.

Looking at the majestic White City, Duan Decao couldn't help sighing, "This White City has a history of more than two hundred years. It was rebuilt by Helian Bobo on the site of Sheyan City in the Han Dynasty, and more than 100,000 people were recruited. It took five years for the people to build it, and it was very majestic, also known as Helian City, until the Northern Wei Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao unified the north, captured the city, and changed it to Tongwanjun Town."

   Liang Shidu proclaimed himself emperor according to Shuofang, and he also took a fancy to the fortification and strength of this city.

  Qin Lang galloped closer to Tongwan City, more and more amazed at the legend of this city.

   On the edge of the vast Gobi Desert, there is such a majestic city standing in the barren land.

  The trumpet sounded on Tongwan City, and the sound of the horn whimpered between heaven and earth.

  Liang Luoren rode his horse to the gate of Tongwan Outer City.

  Qin Lang was not at all worried that Tong Wancheng would resist. Sure enough, after a while, Liang Luoren's uncle in the city opened the city gate.

  The members of the Liang family led the remaining troops out of the city to surrender.

   After accepting the surrender, Qin Lang led his troops into the city.

  The entire Tongwan City is composed of the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is divided into the east city and the west city. The circumference of the east city is more than five miles, and the circumference of the west city is nearly five miles.

  The entire Tongwan city is built with rammed earth. The west city is the palace city of Liang Shidu, with a gate on each side. There are also horse faces on the outside of the city wall, and the foundations of the four corner buildings are all widened.

  The east and west cities are ten miles apart.

   It can be said that this is indeed an amazing city.

  Although it has been more than two hundred years, it is still majestic.

  You can think back to how Helian Bobo, the descendant of the Huns, ruled the roost in Hetao in the chaotic era of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms.

   "It's been more than two hundred years, and the city is still so well preserved!" Qin Lang marveled.

"Back then when Helian Bo built the city, he recruited more than 100,000 civilians. When building the city, every time a section of the city wall was built, it was checked with an iron cone. It was demolished and rebuilt, and people were also built into the city wall. The city wall was built with lime, fine sand, and clay mixed into a compound, so the whole city was white and extremely strong."

  Qin Lang just shook his head.

"How arrogant was Helian Bobo back then, claiming that our side would unify the world, and that the king came to all nations, and that he could rule all nations in the name, but what is the truth? After Helianbobo claimed that the Xiongnu was Xia Qi, he lived in seclusion in Shuofang in the chaos of the Five Huns. He also seized Chang'an in Guanzhong from Liu Yu, assumed the title of emperor, and established the Xia Dynasty, but his Xia Dynasty died in the second generation and lasted only twenty-five years!"

   "No matter how dangerous the unified city is, the country is not in danger if it is in Germany!"

After He Lianbobo captured Chang'an from Liu Yu, he didn't dare to proclaim himself emperor in Chang'an, so he ran back to Shuofang and unified Wancheng to proclaim himself emperor, thinking that he could attack or retreat at any time, but in his bones he still felt that Unable to hold Guanzhong.

He proclaimed himself emperor in Shuofang, called the capital city Tongwan City, named the south gate of Tongwan City Chaosong Gate, the east gate was Zhaowei Gate, the west gate was Fuliang Gate, and the north gate was Pingshuo Gate, but he could not escape. The end of the death of the Second Emperor in twenty-five years.

   Liang Shidu took Tongwan City as his capital and established Liang Kingdom. After ten years of hard work, he still couldn't escape the fate of death and the country's destruction. What is the key reason?

The main reason is that although these people can take advantage of the troubled times to rule a place, they obviously don't have a clear political program, and they don't know how to govern the world in peace. Difficult.

  Unfavorable to the people, they will drive high and low after all.

  The highlight moment of Liang Shidu was the moment when he raised his army and proclaimed himself emperor. After ten years, it has become worse day by day.

   "Dismiss all the puppet Liang soldiers on the spot and let them return to their villages!"

   "Open Liang Ni's treasury, and take out money and silk to give everyone as severance and family expenses!"

   "Exempt the people under the rule of the original puppet Liang from two taxes for one year!"

   "Comprehensive census of registered population, fields and minerals!"

  Qin Lang issued several orders in succession.

  One of the orders is extremely solemn.

   "Order all localities to search for and collect the corpses of the Tang army soldiers who died in the previous crusade against Liang, and order all localities to collect the bones of those who died due to wars and famines since the Sui Dynasty and were unburied and exposed in the wilderness."

  The corpses of the soldiers who died in the Tang Dynasty will be collected, and the Xiazhou Martyrs Cemetery of the Tang Dynasty will be established outside Tongwan City.

  The bones of the common people were buried in the soil in various counties and townships!

   Use military rations to help the impoverished people in Shuofang, Xiayin and Erzhou, and help them survive this severe winter!
