Chapter 1377
1053. Newcomer surrender (Part 2)
Since the news that the Song army forced the Shicheng County garrison to surrender the city two days ago reached the Xinding tribe, he knew that he could not stop the Song army's edge, and thus had the idea of surrendering to the Song Dynasty. Because the Dali king Duan Qilin had already led all civil and military officials to flee north in a hurry, Du Yongchang really did not have to fight the Song army to the death.
His roots are in this Xinding tribe. After going to Shuzhong, he is not a big deal.
Du Yongchang also knew what Liu Zhuwen said just now that the Song Emperor dismissed the nobles in the Song Dynasty.
He is rough, but his mind is delicate and his head is flexible. Otherwise, he would not be able to firmly sit in the position of leader for so long in this fiercely competitive tribe.
Although he understood that Emperor Song might have carried out drastic reforms after obtaining Dali, he did not expect that the butcher knife would end so quickly.
Before Liu Zhuwen led his army to take down his Xinding City, he was so eager to tell him that he would be dismissed from his position as the city lord in the future.
What does this mean?
This means that it is impossible for his Xinding tribe to maintain autonomy in the future.
Zhao Dongting's degree of control over Dali will only be greater than Duan Qilin.
The lucky luck that Du Yongchang had originally had disappeared without a trace in this moment.
He only felt a chill coming from his heels and rushed straight to the top of his head.
At this moment, he even had the idea of immediately pounced on Liu Zhuwen and knocked him down.
To strip away the position of the city lord, he was Du Yongchang's backbone.
Just imagine, in the future, the Song Dynasty sent a new city lord to come. With the current sharpness of the Song Dynasty, it would be easy for Du Yongchang to hand over the military and political power of the soldiers.
And those people of his Xinding tribe lived under the rule of the Song Dynasty officials for several years. Can they still remember him, the former city lord and leader?
Du Yongchang has been the leader of the Xinding tribe for more than 20 years, and there are still some concerns.
As long as the people eat well and dress well under the rule of the Song Dynasty officials, they will live better than when he was governed by Du Yongchang. Soon, they will forget the leader of his clan.
Even if I don’t forget it, most of them will not obey him anymore, but they are just respectful to him on the surface.
This was something that Du Yongchang couldn't bear. He really couldn't bear to have the power in his hands and was unwilling to transform from a domineering king into a gentry with a glossy skin.
However, if he does not agree to Liu Zhuwen now, the surrender will naturally be impossible.
Liu Zhuwen immediately led his army to capture his Xinding City.
It is hard to say whether Du Yongchang can leave Xinding City alive. Even if he goes out, he will only become a stray dog.
This is even more miserable than depriving him of real power.
Therefore, for a moment, Du Yongchang's eyes continued to change their expressions.
Liu Zhuwen sat on the horse, just looking at him indifferently, with a smile in his eyes.
He knew what Du Yongchang would choose.
To put it bluntly, Du Yongchang has no choice at all. The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty led by Miao Cheng and Liu Zhuwen were the butcher knife on Du Yongchang's head.
Unless Du Yongchang is willing to ignore this head for power.
Could Du Yongchang be such a stupid person?
Sure enough, after a few minutes, Du Yongchang seemed to have been drained from his body.
This is a spiritual intuitive feeling, which may not be visible to the naked eye, but Du Yongchang gives people the feeling that it is not as heroic as before.
There was a look of confusion in his eyes, and he had a little expectation, and he lowered his posture and asked Liu Zhuwen: "Captain Liu, how will the Emperor of the Song Dynasty settle us in the future?"
Liu Zhuwen's smile finally stopped hiding his eyes, and said, "For this matter, City Lord Du asked me, it's better to ask yourself."
"Um?"
Du Yongchang showed some doubts.
Liu Zhuwen continued: "Only by giving up can you gain. If City Lord Du really wants to let go of something, with the mind of the emperor of our dynasty, City Lord Du will live a better life than it is now."
"really?"
Du Yongchang was moved in an instant.
Liu Zhuwen chuckled, "Although there is no Prince Anle in the Song Dynasty now, it is not difficult for Du Cheng to live such a life. At that time, I will also make suggestions to the emperor."
A little gloomy glanced in Du Yongchang's eyes, but then he bowed, "Then Du thanked Commander Liu first."
This should be considered Liu Zhuwen's promise.
Although Du Yongchang was still reluctant to give up, he also understood that this was an extremely good result.
As the saying goes, it is better to live than to die, let alone Du Yongchang will be able to live like Prince Anle in the future. This is always thousands of times better than defending Xinding City.
After thanking him, he led all the civil and military personnel to kneel in front of the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
Liu Zhuwen smiled and said, "City Lord Du and you all, please get up quickly!"
Soon, the general who entered the city led more than a thousand people out of the city.
This is the only remaining defenders in Xinding City.
Until now, the Xinding tribe has been exploited by Duan Qilin. Only these more than a thousand people may have been pieced together.
In the entire army, only a very small number of people can wear armor. Many people even don’t even have military uniforms.
This is almost the same as the rebels.
After Du Yongchang officially submitted a letter of surrender, Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng, Zhang Hongwei and others led a large army into the city.
Following Shicheng County, the Song Dynasty flag was also erected in Xinding City.
Only unlike Shicheng County, Shicheng County still resisted. However, Xinding City took the initiative to surrender.
Liu Zhuwen and others did not deliberately pretend to be arrogant anymore, and suddenly they seemed much more friendly and talked and laughed with Du Yongchang and others.
Du Yongchang and others knew that Liu Zhuwen and the others were just acting, but they had to cooperate and could only smile bitterly in their hearts.
Later, Du Yongchang held a banquet in the city lord's mansion to entertain Liu Zhuwen and others.
Liu Zhuwen only said something to Du Yongchang during the meal, which made Du Yongchang's expression improve a lot. There was joy from the heart.
Liu Zhuwen said to him: "Lord Du, although you will not be able to protect your status as a city lord in the future, you are the first to surrender to the Song Dynasty. When I submit my letter to the emperor, I think the emperor will reward you immediately. No matter how bad you are, you will not live a better life in Dali in the future and you will have more face."
In fact, this is not practical, but it still makes Du Yongchang feel happy.
Their Xinding tribe has a weak force. In the past, Du Yongchang, he, was often angry in front of other tribe leaders. How could it be a pleasure to be able to exhale?
This somewhat eliminated the resentment in his heart.
It is still beneficial to surrender first.
After the banquet, Liu Zhuwen really wrote a letter immediately, and asked someone to send it to Ziqi in an expedited manner, and then passed it to the imperial city of Changsha.
...
Jiangling Prefecture, Jinghu North Road.
In the past few days, people from the world have entered the city one after another.
For example, Tianshi Daoyuan Zhenzi and others, and other experts from all over the world, were unable to catch up with the battle of Jiangling Prefecture because of the long journey.
No one had ever thought that before they arrived, Su Quandang would be able to defeat Yelu Zhu.
However, Yuan Zhenzi and others finally arrived in Jiangling Mansion and did not go back to Hengshan directly.
Since you are here, you can't come in vain.
In the past few days, the sects around Jiangling Prefecture, which were related to the rioters and wanted by the Song Dynasty government, suffered a catastrophe.
Before, they could still deal with the government officials and defenders, but the many masters who emerged in the past few days have killed them to pieces.
From then on, each sect was destroyed.
This is of course the move by these righteous masters such as Tianshidao.
After killing those wanted masters, it was natural for them to enter Jiangling Mansion. Because of killing these people, Jiangling Mansion has a bounty.
Although Yuan Zhenzi and others may not care about these bounties, they also have the idea of giving Tianshi Taoism a long face.
They are not really free from desires and demands. Otherwise, Hengshan Tianshidao would not have the current scene of incense being in full swing.
This naturally made Jiangling Mansion a lot more lively after the war.
On this day, Huang Liujia led the worshipers of Wuding Hall to come to Jiangling Mansion.
With the actions of many righteous men in the world, he led people to sweep across the north road of Jinghu these days. The progress of destroying the sects of the rebellious sects was far faster than he thought.
When I finally arrived around Jiangling Mansion, I couldn't even eat leftovers.
This made Huang Liujia both surprised and surprised.
He never thought that the Queen could have such a chain reaction if she summoned the masters of Jiangling Mansion to help.
And he was only at the Shangyuan Realm of Cultivation. If these masters of the martial arts world had not taken action, it would have been a lot of trouble to destroy so many martial arts world sects in Jinghu North Road.
