Chapter 930
Liu Bu's army surrounded the capital, showed their various weapons, and conducted military previews every day. This overwhelming and huge momentum scared the officials and military civilians in the city.
They had no confidence to fight against the Chinese army. After seeing the Chinese army bring out such a huge momentum, they would have even less confidence and confidence.
They were in passive and passive defense. All the officials in the city thought that this was that relying solely on the strength of the capital, there was no way to retreat to the Chinese army, but could only rely on the outside army to come to serve the king and rescue the emperor.
When they heard the news of Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang surrender, almost everyone collapsed and no longer had confidence.
They were counting on Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang's army to come to serve the king and rescue the emperor. However, Hong and Yang did not come to serve the king and rescue the emperor as everyone wished, but directly joined the Chinese army.
This made many people very shocked and frightened when they heard it.
At the beginning, the Ming army wiped out the heroes of the Central Plains and defeated the invincible Mongolian cavalry. It was said to be invincible in the world. Later, they won all the wars against the outside world. No one thought that the Ming soldiers could not be fought and were weak.
However, in the past few decades, the administration was corrupt and the society was dark, and the army was even more corrupt. The situation of embezzling military pay and eating empty salary existed in every army, and the military's servants further reduced the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. One thing worth pointing out is that the generals of the major army obtained by embezzling military pay were used to maintain private troops. These servants were no longer called the Ming army, but the general's private army.
Since the army began to become domestic and private, the army's will has been further weakened. Many people understand that the army is extremely corrupt and weak.
Of course, this is also related to the suppression of the court. The army was hit by the civil servant group in all aspects and suppressed in all aspects. In terms of status, they were even worse than slaves. How many of them were good men who were slaves? How many of them had ideals and passionate blood to serve the emperor and the country, eliminate traitors, and support the world?
In these military terms, they are just soldiers and eat food and serve as soldiers. They are natural. If they have milk, they are mothers, and they recognize money but not people.
In fact, the court has always done this. In the eyes of these moral gentlemen, this is how the soldiers should be. If they are given too high status and give them their own ideas, it would be unfair. You should know that in history, after military generals took power, they were domineering, causing chaos in the court and causing chaos in the world. Only by governing the country with culture and focusing on culture over military can long-term stability be achieved, which is the key to peace in the world.
The long-term implementation of this policy by the Ming Dynasty did indeed continue him, but there was also a problem, that is, the Ming army was castrated, without blood, courage, and loyalty. Most of these soldiers were fed food and served as soldiers, and they were mothers with milk, and they recognized money but not people!
In the past, the imperial court used the sound of food to control these people and ate them tightly.
But the imperial court never expected that a freak like the Chinese Army would appear. In terms of force, it was not inferior to them. What was even worse was that it was richer than them and could easily bribe these troops.
Most of these soldiers in the army are mothers who have milk and do not recognize people. If the Chinese army takes out more money, it becomes natural for them to work hard for the Chinese army.
Even in the eyes of these soldiers, integrity, loyalty and righteousness, loyalty and patriotism, and repaying the king with death is what these moral gentlemen should do. They are definitely not what their shoulder poles fell to the ground, and they don’t know that they are worried about.
So, hundreds of thousands of troops surrendered as soon as they said they surrendered. After these officials found out, they were angry and heartbroken. They scolded the soldiers for having no integrity and loyalty and righteousness, and they were simply no different from animals.
But at this moment, there is no other way except to scold and condemn.
In the past, these crimes of being in the army could be held accountable, punished, and punished their families, but at this moment, the court no longer had the ability to hold them accountable, and they could no longer punish them. They rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and they could only let them go to the court's actions.
The surrender of Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang's army can be said to have caused storms in the capital. Almost everyone also thought that one thing was that the Ming Dynasty was truly over!
There is no army to defend inside and no army to rescue outside, but there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, eyeing them covetously. What should we do? After the news came out, the city was extremely chaotic.
The officers and soldiers were no longer willing to guard the city walls, and fled back home one after another, and the officers were unwilling to be a job. They fled back home one after another, trying every means to separate their relationship with the official family, hoping that they were just a peaceful people with no foundation and no backstage. When the Chinese army entered here, they would regard their ordinary people and no longer hold them accountable.
The local gangsters who were rampant in the area took to the streets, robbing and killing people openly, and were unscrupulous. During this day, the people were robbed or killed in public in the streets. Women did not dare to go out at all, and merchants did not dare to open the door to do business. The city was like a dead city.
In fact, Liu Bu knew that it was time to ripen and fall.
The reason why Liu Bu did not launch a large-scale attack was because it was unnecessary.
Although the walls of the capital are very high, they can no longer stop them from moving forward.
Liu Bu did not launch a fierce attack. He heard that his father, the king of the regent, had led an army of 700,000 days and nights to march straight into the capital.
Taking over the capital is a huge honor and a supreme and huge military merit. Every general will regard it as the proudest battle in his life, but Liu Bu did not see any more.
Today, he no longer needs military merit to prove himself, while others will have a saying that he has made great contributions to the master. If Liu Yuanqiao personally led a million troops to capture the capital, this would be the best way for the emperor of the new dynasty to establish authority.
Liu Bu couldn't help but sigh that the Ming Dynasty, which seemed to be a giant, was so easy that it could fall down with a slight push.
They could defeat the Ming Dynasty so easily, on the one hand, because of their military force, and on the other hand, their excellent political skills.
Officials in the court are used to being accustomed to the people, and they don’t care about the lives of the people, let alone compete for the people’s hearts.
When the Chinese Army had such skillful means and very powerful forces appeared, they could easily defeat them.
In the past, bandits only knew how to burn, kill, plunder, and did not know how to build local areas and win the hearts of the people. They were not opponents of the Ming Dynasty.
But when the Chinese army appeared, it was completely different. When the Chinese army appeared, it easily snatched away everything they had.
I guess even the court did not expect that they would lose so quickly and so miserably.
Based in the Middle Earth, the Ming Dynasty, which had been in the past two hundred years, was rebelled by a family and pushed it lightly and knocked down instantly. This is incredible.
Liu Bu sieges the capital without attacking, and was preparing to wait for his father to pick the peach.
He wanted to do this, but who knew that the situation was not as good as his permission.
When Liu Bu was in charge of the army and dispatching various armies, he heard the report from the messenger, that was Fang Musi, the guard of Zhengyang Gate, who asked for a visit.
Zhengyang Gate, even the main gate of the capital, Liu Bu's army was deployed outside Zhengyang Gate.
Liu Bu traveled to the capital a few years ago. He rode on his horse and raised his horse whip and said, "One day, I will enter the capital from Zhengyangmen to the capital with dignity."
Even Liu Bu would not have expected it to be so fast.
The Zhengyang Gate Guard Fang Musi came to ask for a meeting. You don’t have to think about it and you will know what the other party was thinking. Did the other party come to surrender?
Fang Musi entered Liu Bu's camp and saw that the army was so fierce and fierce, and the army was full of strength. All the soldiers were tall, strong and tough men, wearing iron armor and holding weapons, looking very elite. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
After Fang Musi entered Liu Bu's camp, he immediately bowed and said loudly: "The general of Zhengyang Gate, Fang Musi, has seen Grand Marshal Liu! Grand Marshal is mighty!"
Liu Bu sat in the head coach's position, and standing below was the most elite and outstanding general under his command.
These generals gather here to study how to welcome the King of the Supervisor and his party and how to take over the capital. Now they have begun to make a preview, which is how to accept the capital.
In their eyes, although this capital is very huge, they regard it as meat on the chopping board, and they eat it whenever they want.
Liu Bu knew that the other party was here to surrender, but he still asked knowingly. He said, "As the leader of Zhengyang Gate, you are not guarding the city gate, but you are here. What's the matter?"
Fang Musi said: "The general of the last long admires the reputation of the Chinese army. The marshal has always been kind and righteous, and his prestige is at its peak. The general of the last is willing to serve the master as a master!"
Liu Bu said: "Okay!"
Liu Bu agreed so readily and simply, which surprised Fang Musi. It seemed beyond his expectations. He thought that even if the other party rejected him, he would not be so surprised, but he had enough confidence that the other party would not refuse, and would offer good conditions.
But now the other party agreed readily, but did not offer any conditions. He didn't even give him three walnuts and two sour jujubes, which really surprised him.
Fang Musi said: "But I wonder what kind of errand can I get into the Chinese Army after I was finally involved in the Chinese army?"
Liu Bu smiled coldly and asked back, "What kind of errand do you want to do?"
Fang Musi realized that the other party's tone was not good, so he quickly remedyed it and said, "Thunder and Yulu, it's Jun'en. What does the Grand Marshal arrange for the young to do, and what will the young to do?"
He was full of confidence. As the commander of Zhengyang Gate and the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, he was in charge of the most important city gate of the Ming Dynasty. If he bought him, he could easily take over the capital and would definitely offer a good price.
