Chapter 664

Before Jinling City was besieged, Li Shanchang had already expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would die without a burial place.

But this time he did not persuade Zhu Yuanzhang to surrender or negotiate peace with Ming Zun.

The reason is simple, because Zhu Yuanzhang no longer has this qualification.The prerequisite for the alliance under the city is sufficient strength. It is obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang no longer has this strength.

Everyone knew very well that Mingzun's patience had reached its limit, and he would not be so kind as to forgive Zhu Yuanzhang again.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang surrendered this time, he would still have to die.

Tang He and others were still loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang, just because they were brothers who knelt on the ground. They also shared in Guo Tianxu's refusal to save him.Mingzun called, and as Zhu Yuanzhang's accomplices, they couldn't escape their involvement.

But Li Shanchang is different. Li Shanchang is not a direct descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang. Although he holds a high position, it is only because of his strong ability.

Therefore, Li Shanchang did not want to be buried with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Li Shanchang also knew Zhu Yuanzhang's temper. If he wanted to make peace now, he might be killed directly by him.Rather than doing this, it is better to continue the main battle.

If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't been keeping a close eye on him during this period, he might have contacted the Mingjiao believers who had sneaked into the city to discuss surrender.

Although it was not possible to discuss in advance, Li Shanchang was still confident.Because he has a gift for Zhang Wuji.

That is the information on the money and grain tax payers of various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.Before, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youding and Fang Guozhen.Their information was also integrated into Jinling City.

If Zhang Wuji wants to stabilize Jiangnan in a short period of time, he will definitely be used.Coupled with the strict discipline of Zhang Wuji's army, Li Shanchang is still as stable as a mountain and has nothing to fear.

Because of the resistance of the people in the city, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops could not go too far and forcibly demolish houses.

This gave Lan Yu time to break through the city.

"Boom!" followed by a loud noise.A large part of the wall of Jinling South City was directly blown down by gunpowder.

With the neigh of the war horse, Lan Yu took the lead and rushed out of the smoke.Then a Ming army flag also broke into the city.

When the soldiers of the Wu army saw that the Ming army had broken through the city and entered the city, they acted as if they had no will to resist.

After all, they are all brothers, and the Ming army will not kill them or surrender.They simply threw their weapons on the ground and stood aside to "watch the fun."

And the soldiers of the Ming army who came in did not embarrass them.Some Wu soldiers even took off their armor while greeting the marching Ming soldiers.The soldiers of the Ming Army also responded with smiles.

At this time, a captain of the Huotou Army of the Wu Army was pushing a cart of freshly baked sesame cakes to deliver to the soldiers guarding the city. However, seeing that the streets were full of Ming Army soldiers marching, he simply refused to deliver them. , directly lifted the tarpaulin of the cart, and then threw these freshly baked sesame cakes to the Ming soldiers who had just entered the city with a smile.

As Lan Yu's vanguard troops entered the city, the rear troops led by Zhang Dingbian also rushed in.

But as the large troops entered the city, many ridiculous things happened.

Because the soldiers on both sides were under the command of Ming Zun before, they did not regard each other as enemies. Therefore, after the Ming army entered the city, the typical fierce street fighting did not occur.On the contrary, it was like his own troops entering the city.

Some of Zhu Yuanzhang's soldiers were left alone without even being disarmed.There was even a poor person who asked the other party whose soldiers and horses they were.

There are also some soldiers who have just thrown away their weapons and armor, and are standing on the street waiting for the Ming army to come over and capture them.But groups of Ming troops passed in front of them, but no one paid any attention to them.

What these people then waited for was not an order to capture them and resettle them.

but the rebuke of stern captains of ten and centurions.

After a centurion led his team into the city following the follow-up troops, he saw these soldiers standing lazily on the street. He immediately stepped forward and reprimanded them.Let them put on their armor and take their weapons.

But when these soldiers explained that they were captured soldiers, the centurion shouted: "You are not now! Listen to the soldiers! We are all Mingzun's subjects, we are just here to capture the traitor Zhu Yuanzhang. No one Love this stupid fratricidal war! Listen now, I order you to put on your clothes immediately, grab your weapons, and return to the team immediately! Come with us to capture the traitor Zhu Yuanzhang!"

These surrendered soldiers had no choice but to put on their armor again and then pick up their weapons.Although the costumes were different, they still joined the centurion's team in an orderly manner and marched with the Ming army.

After the city was broken, it seemed as if the war was over instantly, and there were many "incorporations" like this.

In addition to a few die-hards, there are also Zhang Shicheng's old men who don't know the truth.There was no decent resistance at all in the city. Both the soldiers guarding the city and the people were welcoming the Ming army into the city.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the Ming army entering the city, they cheered happily.

Because the Ming army had already entered the city, it meant that this stupid civil war was over.

They were very lucky that they were not killed by the last feather arrow, and everyone was very happy that they survived.

Some soldiers even cheered and spontaneously threw Zhu Yuanzhang's flag down from the top of the city.

It seems that everyone is condemning this stupid war with their own actions.denounced this fratricidal battle.They all felt sorry for their fallen comrades beside them.They did not die on the battlefield fighting the Mongolian invaders. Instead, they died under the arrows of their own people for Zhu Yuanzhang's selfish desires.

Two fellow countrymen who once swore to "eat the meat of Huns when they were hungry, drink the blood of Huns when they were hungry" and work together to drive away the Mongolian Tatars, now only one is left.

Tang He, who was responsible for guarding the city, was completely devastated when he saw this scene.

He also threw away the sword in his hand, then collapsed on the ground and shouted: "No more fighting! This is a spanking! Tie me up and give it to Mingzun to receive the reward!"

At this time, two Wu Jun officers lifted Tang He up, brought a chair to Tang He, and asked him to sit down.

Then one of them said: "General Tang, why are you doing this? We all followed you to join Marshal Guo to participate in the Red Turban Uprising. When you and General Xu were the generals, they were just begging monks. You followed Marshal Guo has made great contributions in the war against the Yuan Dynasty. I don't think His Majesty Mingzun will embarrass you. Besides, General Xu was once kind to His Majesty Mingzun, which your Majesty personally admitted. Why are we, our own people, embarrassing ourselves? "

Although Tang He could not let go of Zhu Yuanzhang's brotherhood in his heart, he was defeated like a mountain at the moment.He tried his best.He simply sat there, neither resisting nor running away, nor committing suicide.Just waiting for Zhang Wuji's troops to arrive in the city and arrest him.
