Text Chapter 2059 Accepting Surrender
Yang Zhaoqing politely called for people to come, took a few people to another courtyard where guests were entertained, and mobilized a small team to protect them.
Since Gong Nishang and Yu Wen Rumeng came here because of this matter, they basically won't go back even if they enter.
The parents also agreed to marry Miao Yi in front of a group of distinguished guests. From now on, she is already Miao Yi's concubine. Some of the red tape of the wedding will not be handled unless there is an accident. The status is certain and she can just walk through the door. Well, most of the hundreds or thousands of concubines of the King of Heaven are like this. Each one is organized with great fanfare and I don’t know how many times it will be done, unless you are born into a noble family and have a certain status and background.
The same is true for the Tiangong. If Zhan Ruyi hadn't been Ying Jiuguang's granddaughter, she would have been sent directly to the palace. Zhan Ruyi is quite lucky. Some concubines have only been sent to the palace to gain a status in their entire lives. They have never even touched the Qing Master's hand. Don't even think about expecting the Qing Master to pay homage to you one by one.
At this time, the Yuwen family and the Gong family were worried that it would be too late to make Yun Zhiqiu unhappy, so they would not mention any big things. Is it a good thing to overshadow Yun Zhiqiu? In addition, it was this time again, and he knew that Miao Yi didn't have the time or energy to talk about this matter. He just sent the person to his door and settled the name. It was aggrieved for the two rich ladies, but there was nothing they could do about it.
As for the two mothers, they will not go back for the time being. They will stay here with their daughters and will not leave until the matter between Gong Qianqiu and Yu Wenchuan is settled.
After a while, Master Yuxu also came out of the heavily guarded courtyard.
Yang Zhaoqing was waiting outside. When he saw the person, he held up his hands and apologized: "I only let the real person come out now. I have wronged the real person. I am lucky to receive you."
The attitude towards Master Yuxu was obviously different. No matter how unbearable Baolian was, her entry was approved by both the adult and the madam, not to mention that it was the madam who facilitated it.
"It doesn't matter, hey, I don't understand what you big guys are doing." Master Yuxu smiled bitterly and asked, "Can I go back?".
Yang Zhaoqing said in a deep voice: "Don't leave in a hurry. We have arranged a guest house for the real person to stay. Don't worry, real person. It's nothing else. The war outside is chaotic and accidents are easy to happen. It won't take long for the peace to return. I will be relieved when I get back."
Master Yuxu sighed and nodded. It wasn't that he minded that Miao Yi had just married Baolian and married two people here, but he really didn't expect that Miao Yi would suddenly turn around and end up like this. This move was a bit too big. I heard it before Others are talking that if nothing unexpected happens, Miao Yi will become the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army!
Be good! What is the concept of the Southern Army's Commander-in-Chief? In other words, Pauline is very likely to become the concubine of the Ox King in the blink of an eye.
He was a little speechless when he thought about this. He wondered if he was lucky that Baolian got married early. If it were too late, he would become the Ox Heavenly King by the time he came here. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not be able to say this because of the difference in status. The disparity was too great, even if she was beaten to death, she wouldn't say this. Baolian was afraid that she would never have a relationship with Niu Youde.
It's just that he can't understand the situation in the world. Anyway, just hearing about it makes him feel scared. He doesn't know whether it is lucky or unfortunate for Pauline to marry Niu Youde. He can only sigh...
The entire Pang family is currently being held in the inner chamber of the Marshal's Mansion, and the newly entered concubines cannot enjoy it.
A separate courtyard was temporarily decorated, decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and even the bridal chamber was decorated. There were two bridal chambers in one courtyard, just waiting for the new officials to come in.
The servants of the Yuwen family and the Gong family helped the newlyweds bathe and change their clothes. They put on red hijabs and sat beside the bridal chamber couch.
The mothers of the two newlyweds couldn't help but hide and cry bitterly. They never thought that their daughters would get married so hastily. The daughter of the dignified marshal didn't even have a wedding banquet. They were so ashamed and wronged their daughters.
What was even more aggrieved was that the new official seemed to have no intention of entering the bridal chamber. He didn't even show his face for the whole night, so the two brides sat there and waited all night.
Naturally, the concubines of the two marshals reported the situation. What the two marshals could say other than being filled with bitterness could only comfort them, saying that Niu Youde was busy with military affairs at this time and could not think about the bridal chamber, as long as the fate was settled.
In fact, after the two newlyweds got married, Miao Yi never entered their room even after waiting for a long time.
One day later, due to internal and external pressure, Gong Qianqiu and Yu Wenchuan led a group of generals to arrive. They only brought with them the following generals such as Xingjun and Marquis, and none of the extra troops, and entered the star field in the Netherworld Army. He arrived under the supervision of the guards, almost like being escorted. As soon as he entered the star gate, he was inspected and his magic power was controlled.
Outside the meeting hall of the Marshal's Mansion, Miao Yi stood high on the steps.
People and horses gathered on both sides of the square below. The middle corridor separated by the people and horses led directly to the gate. Outside the gate, hundreds of people headed by Gong Qianqiu and Yu Wenchuan strode over. All of them took off their armor. Gong Qianqiu and Yu Wenchuan were even bare-chested and carrying thorn sticks on their backs. , it is clear that I am here to apologize!
As soon as they arrived at the steps of the main hall, Gong Qianqiu and Yu Wenchuan both knelt down, clasped their fists upward and said: "Gong Qianqiu and Yu Wenchuan, you are late in returning, please apologize to the Governor!"
More than a hundred people behind them also knelt down one after another, but not like the two of them, just kneeling on one knee.
At this situation, everyone present on the Netherworld Army's side was excited. When they followed Linghu Dou Zhong, they never thought that today, the two heavenly marshals surrendered to them and knelt down!
Su Yun and Chen Huaijiu stood in the corner under the eaves of the main hall in silence. However, Su Yun couldn't help but have a hint of resentment in her eyes when she looked at Gong Qianqiu and Yu Wenchuan!
Xu Tangran, who was standing under the pillar, suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Grand Governor!"
The troops in the square immediately raised their weapons to the sky and shouted like a tsunami: "Grand Commander! Grand Commander! Grand Commander..."
Everyone was excited and their faces were flushed. Of course, they all knew what it meant for these people to surrender. It meant that the Grand Commander had already swept the territory of the Southern Army, and they, the troops from the netherworld, had come forward!
Amid the endless shouts, Gong Qianqiu, Yuwenchuan and others lowered their noble heads, and the pain in their hearts would never be forgotten!
Miao Yi, who stood in the middle on the steps in front of the hall, stood still, looking coldly at the bottom, and no one knew his mood at this moment!
Pang Guan and others who were imprisoned in the inner house walked out of the room one after another, and were all startled by the shouts outside. They looked towards the place where the shouts came from, and were in doubt.
Pang Guan, who seemed to be much older, stared blankly at the direction of the hall, with an inexplicably complicated expression.
He had no idea what happened outside. He had never met Chen Huaijiu since they separated. For so many years, he had never been so isolated from the news. It can be said that he knew nothing about any news outside the inner house.
In front of the palace, Miao Yi suddenly raised his hand, and the noisy shouting like a huge wave suddenly stopped, with the lingering sound rolling and gradually fading away.
Miao Yi walked up the steps steadily, and walked to Gong Qianqiu and Yuwenchuan alone in full view of the public. He leaned over and helped the two of them up, and personally untied the brambles tied to them. He grabbed the two cloaks that Yang Zhaoqing brought and put them on them personally, comforting them: "It's not too late to turn back!" He also reached out to others and said: "Get up!"
Miao Yi's attitude made the surrendered generals feel relieved. They stood up one after another, and under the leadership of Gong Qianqiu and Yuwenchuan, they bowed and said: "Thank you, the great commander-in-chief, for your magnanimity!"
After accepting the surrender, Miao Yi's promise to the surrendered army was fulfilled, but also not fulfilled.
What was not fulfilled was that starting from the two marshals Gong Qianqiu and Yuwenchuan, and then to the star kings, marquises, and generals below, all the military power of these princes was to be deprived. He had no power to demote these people to civilians, and he had to report to the heaven to get the clear order of the heaven, but this was not what he was worried about now.
In this situation, some of the surrendered commanders were naturally difficult to accept. They had no guarantee at all afterwards, so how could they order their subordinates to cooperate happily? Before coming, they had kept a backup plan just in case, but these leaders had been deceived and fell into Miao Yi's hands. They couldn't refuse to agree. No one dared to guarantee that a madman like Miao Yi would not force a killing!
Although Miao Yi broke his promise, he didn't dare to kill them easily. If he openly broke his promise at this time, the surrendered soldiers of Chenlu and Silu didn't know whether he would break his promise later. If someone incited, there would be chaos if he was not careful. It would be difficult to stabilize the situation in the territory of the Southern Army in a short period of time, which was not good for his current situation, so he still needed to "convince" these people to cooperate!
After the compromise and both sides agreed, those who gave up their military power and had daughters sent their daughters, those who did not have daughters sent their sisters, and some even sent their granddaughters. Some even sent their wives' relatives as daughters.
To put it bluntly, the reason was exactly the same as Gong Qianqiu and Yuwenchuan. They wanted the last guarantee and wanted to marry Miao Yi. With Miao Yi's in-laws, no one would dare to touch them even if they lost their power, and they could still guarantee the survival of their family.
The price Miao Yi paid was to write more than a thousand marriage certificates in one breath, and they had to have his seal, to prove that he was a relative. Miao Yi was also willing to go all out this time, and took in more than a thousand concubines in one breath. He accepted everyone, even the daughters of sisters or daughters who were forced to divorce their husbands, and he also signed the marriage certificate and married them. He didn't care about other things such as height, weight, beauty, and ugliness.
After giving these people the last guarantee, the large-scale rectification of the Southern Army finally began.
The Southern Army had a stubborn problem that was difficult to solve even when Hao Defang was alive. This time, it was a golden opportunity for Miao Yi. As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction, Miao Yi naturally wanted to take this opportunity to solve it in one fell swoop.
Miao Yi did not break his promise to the remnants of Hao Defang, nor did he break his promise to Pang Guan's troops, nor did he break his promise to the unified officials of the Southern Army. He could not control such a large territory with his Netherworld Army alone, and some people still had to be used. However, he made large-scale adjustments to the entire Southern Army, breaking the original structure, mixing all the troops, and re-establishing the Southern Army framework. (To be continued.)
