Chapter 178 This is a fake surrender

March and April of the ninth year of Wanli were indeed the gloomiest two months in life for Zheng Song, the head of the Zheng family in the Li Dynasty after Annan.

He went from being a national hero who defeated the auxiliary king of the Mo Dynasty in the First World War, to a bereaved dog who lost his troops and lost his land, fled in embarrassment, and even ran out of options.

The ups and downs in life are so great that it is really unbearable for him.

But Zheng Song is Zheng Song after all. He is the Annan hero who wiped out the Mo Dynasty simply by relying on the foundation of Qinghua Yi'an in history. Even though he knew that he was doomed this time, he still had to fight to the death.

But the so-called fight to the death does not mean that a brainless man with more than 30,000 remnant troops will confront the pragmatic 100,000-strong army. On the contrary, the more times like this come, the more you have to use your brain. While using your brain,

Even at the risk of life!

Even if defeat cannot be turned into victory, at least the invading enemy must pay a greater price.

This is what Zheng Song wants to do and is doing now.

First, he secretly killed the two principals involved in the assassination of Gao Pangshi, cut off their heads, and sent someone to deliver it to Gao Pangshi. He also presented his letter of repentance and surrender, claiming that he was deceived by lard at the time.

They sent people to Guangxi to stir up the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Mo Dynasty, so that the Mo Dynasty could not go south with all their strength, but they did not let these idiots do such an "act of outrage for both humans and gods".

However, now that a big mistake has been made, he does not dare to ask for forgiveness. He only asks Gao Antai to take the pity that "the common people of Annan have been in war for a long time and have not had peace for decades" and not to go to war again. He is willing to do so.

"The prisoner leader walked to the north of the British capital to offer Li Ni in front of the altar." He also had to "prostrate and worship, offering his land to the heaven; kowtow again and again, and present the civilian registration to Zhizhi."

In a word: surrender.

And it was a surrender that was a hundred times more sincere than that of Mo Dengyong - Mo Dengyong surrendered. Although his surrender was humble, at least he left a sentence: "Please serve Zhengshuo forever."

"vassal ministers".

That means that if I surrender, I still have to be a vassal, otherwise there will be no discussion.

But Zheng Song was much more straightforward here. He also knew that the Ming Dynasty regarded him as a traitor and had no hope of becoming a vassal, so he simply did nothing. Apart from asking Gao to be pragmatic and not to hurt the people, he did not mention a word about his surrender conditions.

, as if Gao Pragmatic can handle it however he wants.

When the assassin's head and Zheng Song's confession were surrendered and sent to Thanh Hoa, Gao Pangshi was preparing to send troops south tomorrow. But Zheng Song's surrender was sent openly and openly, and the news spread all over the city of Thanh Hoa, covering the city.

Can't cover it up.

Gao Wuzhi is not only the patrol commander of Guangxi now, but with the endorsement of Ruan Binglian, he is also the "Great Confucian of the Celestial Dynasty" representing the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. This status is of great benefit to the stability of Annan's top leadership, but it will also lead to some restrictions. For example, right now, he

You must follow the rules and etiquette to receive Zheng Song's envoy asking for surrender.

The envoy was a minister of the Later Li Dynasty, and it is said that he was a learned Confucian scholar, but Gao Pingshi had no interest in him. He just received him in a business-like manner, asked some nonsense questions in accordance with the practice of ancient times, and then sent him away to rest.

.

From beginning to end, Gao pragmatic did not express whether he accepted Zheng Song's surrender.

After the envoys of Hou Li Dynasty retreated, the generals under Gao Pingshi's command, whether they were the chieftains of Guangxi or the surrendered ministers of Mo Dynasty, were all smiling.

Isn't it a great thing to be able to take over Yi'an without fighting? The rebellious ministers of the Li family finally bowed to the power of Mingming. This is good for the chieftains who are waiting to go back to "dividends" and for those who hate Li's rebellion and Zheng's rebellion to the core.

No matter who is the Mo family, they are all very happy.

What's more, once Ngai An is established, what else can Nguyen Hoang in Hue have to do? It's nothing more than a sacrifice of land in the hope of surrender.

Annan is determined!

But everyone was happy for a while, only to find that Gao Zuotai was just sitting there expressionlessly, showing no emotion at all, and they couldn't help but be startled.

Huang Zhiting asked: "Why are you unhappy when you press the stage?"

Everyone looked suspicious, and it was obvious that this question revealed what they were thinking.

Gao Jingshi said calmly: "Zheng Song wants to kill me, what should I be happy about?"

Everyone was shocked. Cen Ling frowned and said, "Do you mean Zheng Song is pretending to surrender?"

Gao Pragmatic, still expressionless, asked: "Don't you all think he is faking surrender?"

"This..." Cen Ling was speechless for a moment.

Ruan Youliao said: "The Zheng family is now at the end of its rope. Surrendering at this time should be Zheng Song's best choice. Why do you think he is pretending to surrender?"

Gao Pragmatic laughed, but there was no smile on his face, and said calmly: "His letter of surrender is quite well written, and the meaning expressed in a humble and respectful manner is quite appreciated by me. The people are the most precious... However,

None of this should indicate the fact that he is pretending to surrender."

Gao pragmatic pointed at the surrender form and said, "Just take a look, where will he surrender?"

Isn't this nonsense? It's clearly written in the lowering list, "The prisoner went to the north of Yingdu City and dedicated Li Ni to the front of Yingtai." This means that as soon as Yingtai arrived in Yingdu, he would go out of the city to the north gate.

Surrender, and not only would he surrender, he would also sacrifice Li Ni.

Look, the Zheng family has supported Li Ni for so many decades, but now Zheng Song doesn't want it anymore, and actually calls him Li Ni. Isn't this a sincere surrender?

Unexpectedly, Gao Pragmatic smiled coldly and asked: "Surrender? How can such a thing not be done? It has to be under Yingdu City? And I have to go there in person before he is willing to surrender?"

Only then did everyone discover such a detail, and they couldn't help but secretly thought: Yes, why can't the surrender only take place under Yingdu City?

At this time, Gao Pragmatic said again: "Besides, he is the one who took the initiative to ask for surrender. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be the one who took the initiative to bring Jiang Biao, Li Ni and others to Qinghua to visit Ben Bian?"

He said coldly: "So no matter how nice the letter of surrender is, it is nothing more than Zheng Ni's words to deceive others. What he really wants to do is to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launch a sudden attack under Yingdu City.

A sneak attack on me, even our army!"

Huang Zhiting was furious and her eyebrows stood up: "How dare you do this? It's an unpardonable crime!"

Cen Ling was also startled and broke into a cold sweat, and said angrily: "Zheng Song, you dare to do such a treasonous act when you are about to die. You are indeed stubborn and seeking your own death! If you press the platform, I will ask you to go out and fight. I will win for you.

In Yingdu, present the head of the traitor Zheng in front of the press platform!"

Ruan Youliao was stunned, his heart was cold, and he thought to himself: Is this what the Right Prime Minister really planned? It's over, it's over, this high press is not only as sharp as a torch, but also as meticulous as a hair. Under such circumstances, he didn't get carried away at all, and he immediately discovered the Right Prime Minister.

plan... but what should we do now?

In fact, there is no need for Ruan Youliao to worry, because the Guangxi chieftains have all become furious and have asked for a fight. What they say is really more cruel than the other, and they tend to treat Zheng Song as the enemy who killed his father - there is no way, if Gao is pragmatic

If he dies, I'm afraid not all the things he promised before will fall through. This hatred is so great that it is even more sworn than the hatred of killing his father!

Mo's ministers and generals were also very impassioned, searching their guts and rummaging out all the curse words they could think of, and blasting Zheng Song as worthless... These words were too polite. In fact, in their mouths,

Zheng Song has committed a heinous crime and is full of evil. He is such an unrepentant traitor and traitor. If he is not killed, the people will not be outraged. If he is not killed, it will not be justice!

Well, anyway, just go with what Gao Jintai said. It doesn’t matter whether Zheng Song surrendered for real or faked it. If Gao Jintai said that he surrendered falsely, then he must have surrendered falsely. It’s hard for anyone to tell the difference!

Gao Yuntai followed his advice and immediately said that the army would still act according to the original plan, but...

With Zheng Song, you can also use the plan.
