Come to Daming with military supplies

If we talk about patriotism, perhaps it is more a matter for ordinary people. As a person with immediate interests, of course it is how to get the benefits.Anyway, I can't be a king, so who can I show my integrity?

All the courtiers did not speak. Although the young king Shang De who was seated on the Dragon Throne felt displeased, he still did not say anything about this matter. In comparison, he was also concerned about his own safety. After all, he He was still a teenager at heart, and he didn't want to die.

"Minister Yang, but I don't know what this trip can teach me?" Shang De said personally.Just from this point of view, it can be seen that the current First Shang family is already in chaos. Otherwise, there are some things that do not require the king to charge in person. Is there no room left?

Yang Shan sees everything in his eyes. After being an official for decades, his other abilities may not be outstanding, but when it comes to observing words and deeds, there are few people who are more powerful than the officials of the Ministry of Rites.Seeing that it turned out to be the lord of a country who went directly to battle, he had a plan in mind.When he spoke again, he was full of confidence, "Your Majesty, the foreign ministers came here this time to rescue you. Now the mercenary army is extremely powerful, the soldiers' morale is strong, their weapons are advanced, and they are sincere. Surrounded, if it wasn't for the consideration that everyone is a compatriot in Yiyi, the artillery would have blasted open the city gate and entered the city long ago."

"The foreign ministers are here to give everyone a chance to survive. As long as you surrender to Kaesong, your lives will be safe and secure. Of course the king will abdicate, but apart from losing his power, you can still cook. Open your mouth and stretch out your clothes. As for the other ministers, of course it depends on each individual's ability to make arrangements. Of course, it is certain that your life will be safe, and even your personal wealth can be preserved to a certain extent."

After Yang Shan told Yang Chendong's request together, a wise courtier immediately asked, "Is there a certain percentage of preservation?"

"Yes, at least half." Yang Shan replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Half, only half." After receiving this answer, the courtiers below immediately started to discuss.

"Yeah, half of it is a little small, we have lost too much." Needless to say, those who made such voices must belong to the group of misers, and they belonged to the kind that is close to asking for money rather than life.

The sound of the discussion below came to Yang Shan’s ears. He seemed to have never heard of it. He listened quietly at first, and when these people’s words were about the same, he coughed lightly and continued: “It’s been so long. There is no contact with the outside world, so I'm afraid you don't know what's going on now?"

Speaking of which, since the Yang family occupied Chixian City, they have completely blocked the connection between the entire Xiaoliuqiu Island and the outside world, and it has been more than three years.It is true that these courtiers have not heard from the outside for a long time. When Yang Shan said this, they immediately became interested.

Seeing that everyone was silent, a look of pride flashed in Yang Shan's eyes and he continued: "For more than three years, the powerful Ming Dynasty has been divided into three factions, namely the Northern Ming, Southern Ming and Min King clans. On the contrary, the power of the mercenaries has been expanded and strengthened. Not long ago, the mercenaries sent troops to Jiaozhi and destroyed the country in more than a month. Of course, we have also negotiated with them before, and promised It has the same benefits as you guys, but it's a pity that some people didn't catch it, as for the fate."

When he said this, Yang Shan intentionally paused for a moment, which made the ministers of the First Shang Dynasty who were listening upright impatient, and some couldn't help but asked: "What's the end? Could it be?" Was Chengdu killed?"

"Excellent, this gentleman's guess is absolutely right. After the negotiations were fruitless, the mercenary guns fired into the capital of Cochin and the big city of Cochin. Those important ministers who did not choose to surrender were ransacked one by one. Extermination of the family, even the Cochin king Li Li and the crown prince Li Yuanlong were also faced with the situation that only one person could survive. Later, in front of many people, Li Li killed his only son Li Yuanlong with his own hands. Only then did he survive, and now he is in the city of Chixian Yi Yang Tian Nian, although he lost his rights, his life was saved, so it's a good ending."

"What?" Listening to Yang Shan saying that Jiaozhi was destroyed, all the officials were killed, and even King Li Li had to kill his only son in order to survive, all the officials of the Shang Dynasty who attended the meeting couldn't help showing their faces. Shocked.

To say that the strength of Xiaoliuqiu Island is limited, it has also faced various crises in different eras.But no matter what the result is, whether they are really defeated or forced to surrender, as the top leaders of the country, their lives are guaranteed without any problem.After all, no matter who occupies this place, someone needs to take care of it. As the natives here, obviously no one knows the situation here better than them, right?

But who would have thought that if the mercenaries didn't take action, they would really kill people, even the time-honored King Li Li, who was known to be cruel and merciless, wouldn't it mean that if they didn't surrender, they would have to die?

All the ministers felt chills in their hearts, and some smart people had already begun to consider whether to choose to surrender. After all, they had already experienced the powerful firepower of mercenaries.Didn't you see that their defense that they thought was impenetrable was bulldozed in less than two days?Such an opponent really won't take any advantage in a fight.

The courtiers were thinking about it, and the young king Shang De, who was sitting on the throne, was also thinking about it.It has to be said that when he heard that Li Li even killed his only son in order to survive, he really felt scared.

As the king of a country, Shang De has never really enjoyed a day of happiness and aloofness since he took office.

Originally, he was young, and his father died in a hurry. He belonged to the type who was ordered in the face of danger. It meant that everything had already started before he was ready.When he was still young, he had to try his best to deal with internal affairs, but before he could do all this well, the lion of mercenaries appeared, and after sweeping them all with a strong posture, the First Shang Dynasty was defeated. Suppressed in a certain space, lost vitality.

In the nearly four years of being in power, he has been thinking about how to break through the blockade and get out, but this task has never been completed. Now that he has finally been killed at the door of his house, the choice has become an inevitable trend.

Speaking of which, Suntech had no choice.He didn't enjoy any fun on the throne, and he had thought more than once that if he was an ordinary person, he could live an ordinary life.But now the opportunity presented itself, as long as he nodded his head and opened the city gate of Xinbei Mansion, he would step down from the throne and live the life of ordinary people.

Chapter 558 Liberate the whole island

That is to say, he can bear the worst result, so he has no resistance to surrender, but he still can't get used to it. What he can't get used to is Yang Shan's aggressiveness. Even if you want us to surrender, yes Shouldn't it be easy to talk and discuss, what is the reason for this kind of compulsion?With a bit of anger, Shang De looked at Yang Shan and asked in a voice that was still a little immature and hadn't reached the stage of changing his voice, "Come on, what if we don't surrender? You can imagine that no matter whether we live or die in the future, we will appear in the You here are bound to die first, aren't you afraid of death?"

The young Shang De actually threatened Yang Shan. From what the ministers heard, many of them panicked. They didn't want to die.If Yang Shan was really killed, it would be tantamount to forcing the mercenaries to become sworn enemies with them. If that was the case, no one in the field would be able to live well.

The panicked faces of all the ministers almost made a noise to stop their king Shang De.In fact, this kind of thing has been done frequently in the past four years. For their benefit, these courtiers can always form a group to force the young King Shangde to make concessions. This time, they are going to repeat the previous story.

But before these courtiers could open their mouths, Yang Shan had already burst out laughing.After a burst of laughter, he suddenly pointed to the aloof King Shangde and said, "Death, of course everyone is afraid, but if there are so many buried with me because of my death, it will be worth it no matter what."

"Shh!"

As soon as Yang Shan's words fell, the two Leng Feng attendants behind him had unbuttoned their coats, revealing the densely packed thunder tubes wrapped around their waists.

"What is that?" The sudden change of the situation caused everyone to exclaim.Some knowledgeable officials couldn't help exclaiming, "It seems to be something made of gunpowder."

"Sure enough." Yang Shan nodded to the important official who spoke, admiring him, then looked at the officials, as if a salesman was selling goods, and introduced, "The name of this thing is It is a detonator, a powerful explosive newly developed by our mercenaries."

After saying this, he looked up at the palace, then nodded and said to himself, "If everything is normal, these thunder tubes can completely collapse this palace."

"what!"

Hearing that these thunder tubes are so powerful, all the courtiers' expressions changed suddenly.Although some of them don't think the power of this thing is as powerful as Yang Shan said, but they dare not gamble, they are all standing here, once it is as they said, wouldn't it mean their lives Is it hard to guarantee?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we can't beat the mercenaries, so let's surrender."

"Yes, Your Majesty, a man can stretch and shrink. Let's bow our heads for now and wait for tomorrow." When the courtier said this, he couldn't make it up.The country is destroyed, the king will be put under house arrest, so where is the future?

Many courtiers pleaded for mercy below. Without exception, they all expressed the same attitude, that is, they must never be enemies of the mercenaries, let alone Yang Shan.And some of the ministers who hold military power have already figured out that if the king wants to go his own way, then they can only use their power to restrain the king first.

The aloof Shang De couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the behavior of the courtiers below.Although all of this was as early as he had expected, it was as if in the past four years, once something threatened their interests, these people would put the overall situation first to persuade themselves.

Seeing that they are eating the country's salary and enjoying the benefits and power brought by the high position, but when the king is facing danger, none of them think about the country, but are still playing their own petty things.Shang De was completely disappointed with them.

Among these courtiers, there is not even one who shows no fear of death like Yang Shan, so what future does such a country have?I'm afraid it won't last long even if there are no mercenary soldiers coming to the city.That's the case, that's all, just surrender, anyway, this king has long since wanted to do it.

Shang De finally made the decision to surrender under the hard pleading of his ministers.Then they put down their weapons, opened the city gates, and mercenaries entered the city to take over the various places, while all the ministers, including Shang De himself, waited in the place where they lived, waiting for the judgment of fate.

After completing the task of persuasion, Yang Shan was elated and walked out of Xinbei Mansion in high spirits, in exchange for the entry of countless mercenaries and auxiliary soldiers.

"Not bad, well done." Yang Chendong patted Yang Shan's shoulder with a satisfied expression. "The next job of taking over the courtiers here is up to you to lead. But those who have committed the most heinous crimes must not be let go. As for those courtiers and merchants who still have conscience, half of their property will be confiscated."

"Yes, I know how to do it." Yang Shan nodded with a very respectful look.If you want to be looked up to and respected by others, you need to show your strength, and this is an opportunity to show.

After leaving the matter to Yang Shan, Yang Chendong walked towards the Xinbei Mansion in front of him under the protection and surround of the first and second guards.

In the previous life, he had been here before.But at this moment, there are no high-rise buildings like those of later generations. Even the most prosperous main street of Xinbei Mansion still gives people a dirty feeling.

Walking around and looking around, I finally came to the palace and met Shangde, the last king of the Shang Dynasty.

King Shangde, who had been waiting here for a long time, knelt down on the ground when he saw Yang Chendong and the others waiting for him, looking very obedient and well-behaved.

Yang Chendong's eyes fell on the 13-year-old Shangde, and he sighed softly. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it was because of his own reasons that Shangde did not have the opportunity to display his talents, but who knows, it was because of him that Suntech's Fate has changed, at least not like in the previous life, because of the chaos in the court and eventually the No. [-] Shang family was torn apart, and Shang De would be killed by his subordinates.

Because of Yang Chendong, as long as Shangde is obedient, he should be able to have a good death.

"Sin Wang Shangde has met Da Ming Zhongdan Gong." Shang De knelt down and shouted, obviously someone had already explained Yang Chendong's identity to him.

"Get up." Yang Chendong said while reaching out to help him up.It can be seen that Yang Chendong still treats the Shang family very politely, at least the courtiers who surrendered generally do not have such an honor for Yang Chendong to personally help him.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhongdan." Although Shang De is still young, he has learned this set of etiquette since he was a child, so he is naturally very proficient.

Shang De stood up, Yang Chendong also patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it too much, the burden imposed on you by history is too heavy, you have worked hard, although the result may not be satisfactory, but it is not your fault. Yes. Next, I will arrange someone to take you to Chixian City. Your other courtyard has been built, so you can live there from now on.”

For some reason, after hearing Yang Chendong's words, Shang De's eyes were filled with tears.At this moment, he suddenly felt that this loyal and courageous man of Ming Dynasty understood him, he knew how heavy his burden was, and even in the past four years, he hadn't had a good night's sleep.Now that all the dust has settled, he can finally have a good night's sleep, which should be a good feeling.

With the takeover of Xinbei Prefecture, it represented the collapse of the entire First Shang Dynasty.After the news spread back to Chixian City, Master Yu Qian, who had already prepared his staff, waved his hand, and [-] educated youths in Chixian City entered Yilan, Taoyuan, Xinbei, and Keelung under the protection of [-] temporary auxiliary soldiers. Waiting, presumably it won't be long before this place will face a complete transformation.A new city that is different from this era will also rise quickly.

In a small town outside Luang Prabang, one of the territories of the Lancang Kingdom.

The atmosphere here in the past few days has been very tense. People who come and go in this area will only be allowed to enter and exit after going through strict inspections.Once disrupted the state of life of the people here.

It's just that because a military-controlled area has been formed, the news cannot be spread out.
