As for surrender, Mao Teng really has no psychological burden.

His father died of illness a long time ago, but his mother passed away not long ago. He was forcibly retained by the court because of military emergency and could not go back to attend the funeral. Therefore, his wife and children handled the funeral on their behalf and helped me return to my hometown to mourn.

Therefore, his wife and children are not in Lin'an at present, but in their hometown in Fujian.

So Mao Teng found his personal soldiers and commander Fu You, and asked his most trusted and trusted subordinates to help him solve this problem. He asked him to take the most reliable personnel to quickly detour to his hometown in Fujian to find his wife and children, and then took them on a boat to the east road of Jiangbei and Huainan East Road.

After Fu You gave the order, he led five or six capable subordinates to leave Jiankang Mansion and headed to Fujian by water.

Mao Teng sent another confidant general to negotiate with the Ming army, expressing his willingness to surrender, but with a few conditions, I hope the Ming army can agree.

When Zhou Zhi learned that the Song general of the Jiankang Prefecture was preparing to surrender, he was curious because there was no case of the Song general surrendering before the battle. Isn’t this guy worried that Mingguo’s policies would kill him?

However, being able to choose to surrender may be a reflection of his confidence in his past experience.

Moreover, this was the surrender of a general of the commander-level commander. Zhou Zhixie attached great importance to it, so he took the military secretary Zhou Zhixue to the agreed Dongyang Town to meet with the commander-in-chief of the Jiankang Commander-in-chief.

Mao Teng looked like he was very honored to the arrival of Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zhixue. He was quite polite to face the two. He not only held a banquet to entertain the two, but also gave them very expensive gifts to them, and he looked like he wanted to form a gang with them.

This gift is really not simple, the whole box of gold, silver, and pearls and jade are quite good.

So the two of them accepted it with a smile, then turned around and ordered the gifts to be recorded in the account of You Yi Junjun and reported to the Privy Council for reporting in the future, as the so-called "all seizures must be returned to the public, and all of them will be used to improve life in the army, without any ambiguity.

After so many years of battle, with the improvement and establishment of the military support system, the Ming army had no resistance to the military rule that all seizures would be returned to the public.

"Since the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty fought, many generals died in battle and many fled. However, I have never seen anyone who took the initiative to throw himself into the city before the war. I wonder why the Mao Commander did this?"

At the dinner table, Zhou Zhixue asked Mao Teng with a smile...

Mao Teng had just been transferred to Jiankang Prefecture, but he had heard about the Ming army's organization and learned that there was a kind of organization called instructor in the Ming army. If the rank was high, he would be called the secretary and had a high status in the army.

Now the famous Ming army general Zhou Zhi, who is famous in Jiangnan, does not speak. The first one is the secretary Zhou Zhixue. He knows that the rumors are true and the position of the Ming army as a secretary is indeed very high.

"To be honest, surrender is not my purpose, and I am helpless. I heard that the army went south, the prefect ran away, the county magistrate ran away, and all the officials from all over the country were running away, and even the rich landlords fled, and finally affected the army.

In just a few days, my army had three or five hundred people running away, but I couldn't stop it, and I couldn't defend it. It was obvious that the military's military was so powerful. I thought again that if he could run away in the army, it wouldn't be a death sentence, but I, a general, was extraordinary."

Mao Teng sighed and said, "If I run away, I will not be sure of living after returning to Lin'an. The one who promoted me to be the commander-in-chief Chen Kangbo and Chen Gong. A few days ago, Chen Gong... After Chen Gong passed away, I was not familiar with the successor Yu Yunwen as Privy Councilor. I was really not sure to hand over my life to his hands.

You can't run away, you can't fight and beat them. You can see these shrimp soldiers and crab generals under my command. You can't defeat your army. You can't run away, you can't fight and beat them. I really don't want to die. The only way is to surrender."

Zhou Zhixue smiled gently.

"The Mao regime is honest."

Mao Teng smiled awkwardly.

"Don't say that, I can't do anything about it..."

"With that being said, Mao's rule must also know that surrendering to our army is not a simple matter. Our army has quite high requirements for the surrendered ones, I don't know..."

Valley thief

"I have always known that the military rules of your army are rigorous, so I have tried my best to restrain the army in the past few days, not to disturb the people, nor have I done anything that is harmful to the world. I have tried my best to make Jiankang Mansion more stable.

And after all, I have never done anything that is harmful to the world, that is, I embezzle military pay, eat empty pay, and then purchase land, or beat and scold some soldiers under my subordinates, showing off my power or something...

But I have never indulged soldiers to disturb the people! If the army does not believe this, they can ask the people around them, but there is no such thing as this! Now that the army has arrived, everything from Jiankang Mansion will be handed over to the army, and even myself, I will be dealt with."

After Mao Teng said this, Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zhixue were really a little surprised.

Good guy, I did my homework before surrendering and studied Ming Dynasty’s policies very thoroughly!

It's really a matter of preparation...

Mao Teng handed over his official seal, official uniform and command of the commander-in-chief to Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zhixue, handed over the commander-in-chief's clothing, and took off the commander-in-chief's clothing.

Then the guy smiled cautiously and said, "Since that's the case, the surrendered general will give all his own wealth and life to you. Also, as for family property, if the Ming Dynasty wants to do business, I will never hide my own private matters. Those land and houses... I heard that the state has a redemption policy, right? I accept it, I will never resist!"

This posture, this perception, this enlightenment.

Who will succeed if he doesn’t succeed?

Zhou Zhi, who had always had no good impression of the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, thought Mao Teng was a rare talent...

When did this guy prepare to surrender?

Is it a special preparation for this day?

Because he was really clean and even excellent compared to other Southern Song officials, the generals were so confused that Zhou Zhi and Zhou Zhixue had such doubts.

But I think no one should be so bored, right?

Because of the escape of civil servants and the failure of military generals, the Ming army quickly and completely obtained Jiankang Prefecture on the fourth day after the war, on August 24, the fifth year of Hongwu.

As a result, the legendary strong Yangtze River defense line in the Southern Song Dynasty no longer existed. Two important towns along the river were captured and occupied by the Ming army within four days, and even Dusong Pass, an important checkpoint further south, was occupied.

You Yi's army once again defeated the defense that the Song army had worked hard for several years with one army of 30,000 troops, and made great contributions.

It is hard to say whether the Ming army's excellent tactical planning and combat effectiveness occupied the main reason, or whether the Southern Song Dynasty took the initiative to give up defense and tried to shrink the defense line occupied the main reason.

On the evening of August 24, Zhongdu received news of the war that Zhou Zhili was sent urgently to 600 miles.

After receiving the news, the General Staff Headquarters immediately held an emergency meeting and placed the news of the war between You Yi's army and the Song army in Jiangnan on the map for analysis.

"You Yi's army went south, and the two commanders of Zhenjiang Prefecture and Jiankang Prefecture of the Southern Song Dynasty were the first to be affected. According to You Yi's army's report, they received news that the Song army had reduced their troops and learned that the Song army was carrying out a solid wall and clearing the field, so they decided to send troops."

Xin Qiji pointed at the Zhenjiang Prefecture area on the map with a wooden stick and said, "Although the You Yi army is not as powerful as the Song army in terms of military strength, I believe that the You Yi army can win. According to the planned plan, if the You Yi army can achieve the goal of conquering Dusong Pass, it will be the best situation."

Su Yonglin nodded.

"However, the You Yi army has only one army, which is not enough to truly threaten Lin'an City. However, the Henan Corps should have received news that they will send troops to Lin'an soon. Before that, I suggest dispatching a navy army to block Suzhou Ocean from the waterway and approaching Lin'an.

You can also use naval warships to transport some of the artillery group and the artillery group of the Shenji Battalion that have just completed training to the Lin'an battlefield to enhance the siege firepower at that time... It is a general preview for the complete destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty in the future!"
