The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 701

Zhu Hongyu was happy to accept Zhao Liangdong's surrender.

According to the information he got, today's Baoding is a strong city run by Oboi.

How can Zhu Hongyu be dissatisfied if he can get such a fortified city for nothing without using weapons?

As for the encouragement of Zhao Liangdong's surrender to the morale of the Ming army and the suppression of the morale of the Qing army, this is also one aspect.

Today's Zhao Liangdong can also be regarded as a general of the Qing court!

Zhao Liangdong has surrendered, can the Qing court rest assured of other Han generals?
Without these Han generals, without the Han soldiers of the green battalion.

What storms can the remaining Eight Banners soldiers cause?
The current Eight Banners are no longer the invincible Eight Banners of those days!
The current Ming army is no longer the Ming army that suffered from full-fledged mania per capita in those days!

Once the Manchus really became suspicious of all Han generals, the demise of the Manchus is really not far away!

In the endless fields of Beizhili, the well-arranged Ming army dragged a large number of field artillery along with the army, left the scope of the Grand Canal, and headed for Baoding City.

The cavalry of the Ming army walked around the army, covering the battlefield, and scouting the specific situation on the battlefield at any time.

The Ming army marched towards Baoding, and the journey was very peaceful.

The imaginary harassment of the sentry cavalry of the Qing army did not appear at all!
When the forward of the Ming army arrived in Baoding, they saw the flag of Ming Dynasty hanging on the top of Baoding City.

……

Zhao Liangdong stood at the head of Baoding city, looking at the distant wilderness.

Looking at the mighty Ming army outside the city, his hands were full of sweat.

When he saw the dragon flag fluttering high in the Ming army formation, he felt even more nervous from the bottom of his heart.

He knew where was the Emperor of Ming who could decide his future, even life and death with one word!
Eyes met one after another, and the general beside Zhao Liangdong asked.

"General Zhao, the soldiers are coming tomorrow, shall we go out of the city to meet them?"

Zhao Liangdong grinned, nodded and said.

"if not?"

"Since we have made up our minds to return to Daming, we must put our posture in place!"

"Don't be hated by the emperor for such a trivial matter!"

Having said all this, Zhao Liangdong flicked his sleeves and said.

"Let's go, follow me out of the city to meet the angel and Master Wang!"

After the words fell, Zhao Liangdong led his people to the city.

"By the way, bring up the thorns that the general prepared in advance!"

"..."

……

With a creak, the gate of Baoding opened wide!

With his upper body bare and thorns on his back, Zhao Liangdong led people outside the city, where he kneeled neatly in a large area outside Baoding City.

Holding a telescope in his hand, Zhu Hongyu squinted at Baoding City, and finally spoke.

"Haha, it's interesting!"

"This Zhao Liangdong is going to have a show of pleading guilty with me!"

"It's really interesting!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu casually ordered Li Guoying who was beside him to come.

"Guo Ying, go there yourself and let Zhao Liangdong meet you before he comes to the army!"

"He played his Lian Po well, why can't I also play Lin Xiangru well?!"

Since Zhao Liangdong came to surrender on his own initiative, Zhu Hongyu had to treat him as a horse bone bought by a thousand dollars.

Among other things, the superficial work must be done properly!
Zhao Liangdong knelt outside the Baoding city gate, with his forehead touching the ground, waiting for Daming's fate.

The big sun in the sky was very venomous, scorching his back, Zhao Liangdong felt anxious.

Although rationally speaking, he felt that Daming should have no reason to kill him.

But he still couldn't help but feel worried. This feeling of life and death being controlled by others is really bad.

At this moment, a series of hoofbeats suddenly sounded in the distance.

A group of dozens of riders rushed forward and stopped in front of Zhao Liangdong and others. The horseshoe inlaid with horseshoes was only a few feet away from Zhao Liangdong.

"Criminal Zhao Liangdong, meet the angel!"

Zhao Liangdong spoke respectfully, and at the same time, all the generals around him also opened their mouths one after another, saying that they would pay respect to the angel.

Although Li Guoying on the horse enjoyed the feeling of being respected and feared, he was not dazed.

I know the emperor is still waiting!
Li Guoying spoke to Zhao Liangdong who was kneeling in front of her.

"Zhao Liangdong, Your Majesty has summoned you, come with me!"

Zhao Liangdong heard a familiar voice, looked up and saw Li Guoying, who used to be an official with him.

He was slightly surprised in his heart, but his face was still full of fear.

"Criminal Zhao Liangdong complies with the order!"

After finishing speaking, he followed Li Guoying and headed towards the formation of the Ming army.

As the other generals of the Qing army were not summoned, they still had to kneel and wait in place.

Not long after, Zhao Liangdong was brought before Zhu Hongyu after being searched.

The first time he saw Zhu Hongyu, Zhao Liangdong bowed down again and said.

"Criminal Zhao Liangdong, pay homage to the Holy Son of Heaven!"

Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes and said in a gentle voice.

"The general dedicating the city to come back is a great achievement, so what's the crime?"

"Come here, remove the thorns from the general's body!"

After Zhu Hongyu finished speaking, two Imperial Guard soldiers stepped forward and removed the thorns from Zhao Liangdong's body.

Zhu Hongyu took off his cloak again, and ordered someone to put it on for Zhao Liangdong.

Zhao Liangdong felt the softness of the Suzhou embroidered cloak on his body, and a feeling of being valued spontaneously arose.

Originally, he only surrendered for his life, but now he suddenly has the urge to die for Daming.

For a high-ranking person, it is really not difficult to win people's hearts.

A little favor, even a casual care, can move the people down to the point that they are willing to die for you.

Especially in this era when the imperial power was deified and the emperor was almost equal to a god walking in the world, the effect of the emperor's favor was very obvious.

Just like now, Zhu Hongyu just casually gave Zhao Liangdong the cloak he was wearing, and Zhao Liangdong was moved.

Even Zhao Liangdong knew that Zhu Hongyu was just acting, just trying to appease people's hearts, so he couldn't help being moved.

Zhu Hongyu got off his horse, walked up to Zhao Liangdong with strides, helped him straighten the cloak he had given him, then grabbed Zhao Liangdong's hand and said.

"The general will go into the city with me, how about Baoding City?"

After all, he wanted to pull Zhao Liangdong to walk side by side with him, heading towards Baoding City.

Seeing this scene, Li Guoying stood up to stop him.

"Your Majesty, please let the imperial guards take over the city defense first, and then drive into the city!"

Li Guangyuan on the side also spoke.

"For the sake of caution, Your Majesty, please slow down and let the imperial guards take over the city defense first."

The generals of the Ming army on the side also expressed their agreement.

Zhu Hongyu frowned, and said.

"What are you doing? General Zhao loyally voted for me, Daming, can I still not trust him?"

"Isn't that chilling?"
