Chapter 1259 Shaken (2)

(Maopu Chinese) Achi saw that Yuchen had wavered, and immediately smiled wryly: "Mother and concubine, father and emperor will not surrender."

Yuchen didn't continue, but asked, "Achi, do you want to surrender or fight?"

"My concubine, there are 500,000 elite soldiers of the Ming army outside the city of Shengjing, and the Ming emperor uses them like a god. But we only have 100,000 soldiers and horses, the difference in numbers is too great, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit." After the Xiangzhou guards surrendered, the Ming army The promise was fulfilled, not only did not kill them, but also gave them money and food. These things have long been spread out by interested people.

Originally, the morale of the army was fluctuating because of this incident, but with the incident of snow, one can imagine what the situation in the army is now. If the two armies were to fight, they would have no half chance of winning, which was why Achi wanted to surrender. But because Yan Wushuang said that the Yan family could only die in battle and not surrender, he suppressed this idea. But now Han Jianming's words aroused his thoughts again.

Yuchen understood the meaning of Achi's words: "Mother and concubine go to persuade your father."

Achi hesitated for a while and said, "I'm afraid my father won't agree." His father's attitude was very clear, he would rather die than surrender.

"I have to give it a try." Not for herself, but for Ah Chi and Ah Bao.

Yuchen took off the jewelry he was wearing, washed off the makeup on his face, and went back to the inner room to change into white clothes.

Achi looked at Yuchen's outfit and was stunned. Unless there is a death in the family, one must be filial to wear all white. Anyone who wears it like this on weekdays will think it is very unlucky.

Seeing Achi opening his mouth to ask, Yuchen shook his head slightly. She wore this dress for a purpose.

If you want to be pretty and filial. Even though he was over forty years old, Yuchen, who was dressed in white, was still so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it. The people I met on the road from Ruyi Palace to Yushufang, no matter men or women, all looked straight at me.

A court lady waited for Yuchen to walk away, then lowered her voice and said, "The imperial concubine is so beautiful, like a fairy descending to earth."

"Yes, it's so beautiful. You don't know that the imperial concubine was the most beautiful person in the world back then." Even after so many years, the imperial concubine is still shockingly beautiful.

Yan Wushuang was talking to Meng Nian, when he saw Yuchen who was dressed in white, he was also stunned: "What are you doing?"

Yuchen knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this concubine has already seen elder brother just now."

Meng Nian didn't want to listen to their conversation at all, but Yan Wushuang didn't tell him to go down by himself.

Hearing this, Yan Wushuang understood: "What? Was he persuaded? You also came to persuade me to surrender?" A bit of anger was revealed in the words. Why do you want to surrender one by one!

Yuchen cried and said: "Your Majesty, I just want my family to be safe and sound." She actually wanted to live a peaceful life for a few days. From marrying Yan Wushuang to now, she has been in fear all day long, and it is really not a day of peace.

Yan Wushuang was very irritable because of Han Jianming's words, and his mood became worse after hearing these words: "Go back to your wishful palace."

At this time, Ah Chi also knelt down: "Father, please think carefully."

Yan Wushuang blushed furiously, and said in a cold voice: "I told you before, only sons of the Yan family died in battle, and no one surrendered."

"Father, what are the soldiers in the border city vowing to guard Tongcheng to the death? They just want to keep Liaodong safe and let the people of Liaodong live and work in peace and contentment. But now God is angry and a natural disaster is coming, and the people of Liaodong are already in danger." In the past year, Achi deeply realized the difficulty of soldiers in the border town. These zombies really live every day. However, no one flinched. Because they know that once they retreat, millions of people in the rear will be tortured and killed by Donghu people. Among these people, there are their brothers, sisters and relatives. Therefore, they cannot be allowed to back down.

There were tears in Ah Chi's eyes: "Father, Ah Chi is not afraid of death, but Ah Chi does not want the soldiers in Shengjing to die so worthlessly, and he does not want countless people to freeze to death and starve to death."

Meng Nian didn't intend to speak at first, but now he had to: "Your Highness, the Emperor and Yun Qing have a sworn hatred.

Once we surrender, we will die without a place to die. "

"If we don't surrender, we will die when the Ming army comes in. Father, you said that the people of the Yan family would rather die in battle than surrender. Father, if we are in Tongcheng now, our sons and servants will definitely go into battle in armor. If you die in battle, They are also determined not to retreat half a step. But the people outside Shengjing are not Donghu people.” The Ming Dynasty implemented a benevolent government, and if they surrendered to Liaodong, the soldiers and people would only benefit, not be persecuted.

After a pause, Achi said again: "Father, if we surrender, we can negotiate with them and let them let us go to sea. When we go overseas, even if they want to settle accounts and get rid of us in the future, we can't wait to die. "In the end, there is still a chance.

Yan Wushuang rubbed his temples and said, "You all go down!" He really has a big head now.

Yuchen wanted to say more, but Achi shook his head at her. It's too late, they have said what should be said. Whether to surrender or not depends on the emperor's own decision.

Meng Nian asked, "Your Majesty, have you told the third prince about our arrangement?" Yan Wushuang's original plan was to arrange for Achi and Abao to go to sea and live outside the fan. Of course, if they want to come back in the future, it will be fine. However, that has to be changed.

Yan Wushuang shook his head: "No, he thought of it himself. Meng Nian, do you think you should surrender?" After speaking, he put his hand on a pile of papers. Many of them suggested surrender.

"Your Majesty, Yunqing has the absolute advantage now. If it wasn't for the snow, they might have already taken Shengjing City." Therefore, they still have to be grateful for the snow. If not, they are probably decapitated.

Yan Wushuang understood: "You also agree to surrender?"

Meng Nian didn't want to surrender either, but now there are only two ways, either die or surrender, there is no third way: "Your Majesty, if we don't surrender, we will die. The ants are still alive, Your Majesty, we can do what the third prince said, we can ask for it." Yunqing agreed to let us go to sea. As for Yunqing and Han Yuxi wanting to settle accounts afterwards, that's not afraid. A strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, and Han Yuxi can't send a large army to suppress it." When they go overseas, they don't need to hide their identities, and they can live there openly.

After a pause, Meng Nian said again: "We will take Han Jianming as a hostage to prevent Han Yuxi from murdering him halfway. After we go to sea, we will release him." Han Jianming has a special status. He is not only an important minister in the court, but also Han Yuxi's big brother. With Han Jianming in hand, Han Yuxi would definitely not kill them. Otherwise, it will definitely chill the hearts of others. As shrewd as Han Yuxi, he would definitely think of it.

After a while, Yan Wushuang said, "But I don't want to surrender."

"Your majesty, I am willing to die with the emperor. However, the eldest princess and the third and fourth princes are still young. Their lives have just begun. Isn't it too cruel to let them die with us?" Meng Nian didn't He was afraid of death, but he didn't want to watch the blood of the Yan family die.

Yan Wushuang was silent for a long time, and said: "My revenge is not over yet." His enemies were not only the Zhou family, but also the Donghu people. His parents were killed by Donghu people. There is no way to avenge a big revenge, and after death, he has no face to see his parents.

Meng Nian felt that this matter was not difficult, and said: "Your Majesty, we sent the third prince and the others overseas first, and then came back to kill the Donghu people." back.

Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "Yunqing and Han Yuxi won't agree." Back then, he was forced to become emperor because of circumstances, but these years he deeply realized how difficult it is to be emperor. Therefore, he has no nostalgia for the throne at all.

Meng Nian's idea was just the opposite: "Your Majesty, our request is not too much, and Yunqing will definitely agree. It's just that once we return to the Central Plains, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave again."

"As long as I can get revenge, it doesn't matter if I die." He had already put life and death aside. What I can't let go now is my sons and daughters. As long as they are settled, there is no need to worry about the future.

After thinking for a while, Yan Wushuang didn't make a decision immediately, but summoned all the important officials.

Yan Wushuang said straight to the point: "Han Yuxi sent Han Jianming to recruit us, what's your opinion?"

The six Shangshu looked at each other.

General He Feng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you cannot surrender. A man can only die standing up, and must not live on his knees."

Mr. Geng, Minister of the Household Department, stood up and said, "General He, the treasury is empty. Many soldiers in the army don't even have cotton-padded jackets and trousers." The soldiers without cotton-padded jackets were recruited in the spring. In previous years, it snowed in November, so they were not prepared yet, which also caused these soldiers to shrink under the covers now.

He Feng was stuck for a moment, and then he said with a stiff neck: "The Ming army must have taken advantage of the warm weather to start the war. At that time, the soldiers will also be able to fight the enemy."

Mr. Gan, Minister of the Ministry of War, is Yunqing's die-hard supporter, but at this meeting he had to say: "Your Majesty, the army's morale is slackened. If the Ming army comes over, we will definitely be defeated." The implication is that it is better to surrender than to resist stubbornly.

"Your Majesty, you must surrender without a fight." Only the cowardly and cowardly would surrender without a fight. How could such a wise emperor do such a thing.

Yan Wushuang asked the Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "Rong Jianwen, what do you mean?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Household and the Minister of the Ministry of War said it more tactfully, but Rong Jianwen knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Liaodong soldiers and the people, I hope that the Emperor can accept the surrender of the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing that Yan Wushuang was silent, Rong Jianwen continued: "Your Majesty, according to Lord Gan, we will definitely lose this battle. It is meaningless to insist on fighting this battle, except to increase unnecessary casualties."

He Feng hated these civil servants the most, and they said the dead were alive, so he snorted coldly and said, "Why are you speaking so righteously for the sake of Liaodong soldiers and the people? I think you are afraid of death."

At this time, no one was in the mood to pinch He Feng, they all looked at Yan Wushuang, waiting for his decision. Mop Chinese
