"Father, there are enemy troops besieging the city outside, but there are people's hearts and minds inside. Please make your decision as soon as possible!"

Zheng Za led a group of his ministers to kneel in front of Zheng Bai and said anxiously.

"How are you staying?"

Zheng Yan waved his hand.

Zheng Zao raised his head and said, "Father, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle had a feud with the Hu Dynasty at that time due to the old events of the Chen Dynasty, and sent 800,000 troops from land and sea to invade our Dayue. He won victory after victory and advanced all the way, killing our soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people, and incorporating our Dayue into the Ming Dynasty, and establishing the Jiaozhi Administrator's Office.

This year was the fifth year of Yongle, but the people of Dayue never surrendered. Under the leadership of the descendants of the Chen Dynasty and the Li family, after unremitting struggle, they repeatedly defeated the Ming army. Finally, Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty withdrew from Dayue in the second year of Xuande and conferred Li Li as the king of Vietnam. Dayue regained independence.

The current storm is powerful, and if you fight, you will lose. It is better to surrender to him. It is better to see if he can defend it for twenty years. The people of our Great Yue care about their homeland and endure humiliation. They may not be unable to restore their homeland in the future!”

"What about my Zheng family?"

Zheng Yue asked.

Zheng Zha said: "So the surrender cannot be passed through Emperor Li. My Zheng family must be led by my Zheng family. If Li Xin wants Tokyo, he will give it to him. If he wants to govern the Great Yue, he still needs the assistance of our aristocratic families. My son is willing to go on his behalf and offer his land to Li Xin and submit to him. My family will go back to Qinghua to lie dormant."

Qinghua is the old nest of the Zheng family. Once the Zheng family held Emperor Li hostage to Qinghua as its capital. In Qinghua, the local people only knew that there was Zheng, but not Li.

"Okay, you secretly leave the city tonight!"

Zheng Jian pondered for a while and nodded reluctantly.

But at this moment, a noise came from outside. Zheng Jian felt a little nervous, stood up suddenly, and shouted, "What's going on?"

A servant ran in panting and said in panic: "Prince, Prince, Wu Gong has rebelled and led the imperial guards to enter the palace. Several other generals rebelled and shouted to apologize to the Ming Dynasty with the prince's head!"

The Li Dynasty had four major families, Zheng, Ruan, Wu and Hu. Wu Gongqi was the helmsman of the Wu family. He had been guarding Xuanhua for a long time. Due to Xuanhua's loss, he fled back to Tokyo.

"What?"

Zheng Jian staggered and almost fell.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

There was a sound of cannons outside the mansion, and the fire in the front hall was flashing.

"Father, hide first!"

Zheng Zao stood Zheng Ju and shouted.

"The general trend... is gone!"

Zheng Yan cried out with a sad cry, blew blood and fainted.

...

Outside the city!

"Hey, it seems like there is a firework in the city. It's not an internal strife, right?"

Liu Rushi heard the sound of cannons and shouts of killing, and covered her mouth and said in surprise.

Li Xin suddenly thought of the Tianjing incident and couldn't help but smile coldly: "The Li Chao is in power by Zheng. Now that Zheng has caused a huge disaster, he will definitely apologize to me with Zheng's head. Wait. I'm afraid that the city gate will be opened soon and lead me into the city."

Dou Meiyi smiled flatteringly and said, "It's not that the Regent is famous, it's so scary that the thief is frightened!"

Fei Zhen'e lost a contemptuous look.

"What? What do you think, Zhen'e?"

Li Xin noticed this look and asked.

Fei Zhen'e said: "The Regent Prince brought troops into Vietnam. Along the way, the people destroyed their families and fled either to die. What crimes are there for the people of Li Dynasty?"

"Well?"

Li Xin looked at Fei Zhen'e in surprise. Fei Zhen'e looked at Li Xin without fear, her eyes clear, as if she was really emphasizing the people of the Li Dynasty.

"Mr. Li, Zhen'e is a straightforward person, and she is definitely not intended to offend her!"

Dou Meiyi quickly pleaded for it and shook her eyes on Fei Zhen'e, asking her to tell Li Xin's mistake.

Fei Zhen'e stood still.

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, she has her ideas, I have my starting point. For ordinary people, it is really pitiful to see the people of Li Dynasty displaced, but for me, I am not my race, my heart will be different. My position is to stand on the side of China. I will use any means to benefit China. This is true, right and wrong, but the position is different, so Miss Fei, you must put your heart in the same way!"

"snort!"

Fei Zhen'e snorted stubbornly, but her eyes obviously softened.

Liu Rushi shook his head secretly.

Sure enough, an hour later, the gates of Tokyo opened wide. Emperor Futai was wearing white clothes and led the civil and military ministers out. Li Xin waved his hand violently.

The soldiers entered Tokyo, occupied the commanding heights, the city walls, and the rooftops, and disarmed the defenders. In a moment, there were soldiers of bandits holding guns everywhere, and there was a tense atmosphere in the city.

Li Xin then walked forward.

Emperor Futai cried and said, "Zheng's arrogant family has attracted the royal army to conquer the people of Dayue. Now the criminals have beheaded the Zheng family and apologized to the regent of the Ming Dynasty. I am not willing to die. I hope the regent of the regent of the Dayue people will be innocent. Even if my life is gone, I will surrender to the Ming Dynasty and will never rebel forever!"

“Ha~~”

Li Xin chuckled and said, "What do you say that you will never betray forever? During the Han Dynasty, you betrayed the Song Dynasty, and you betrayed again. Ming Chengzu gave you enough preferential treatment, but you still betrayed. You said, how can I believe you?"

"this……"

Not only Emperor Futai, but all the ministers were speechless.

Yes, Vietnamese people never thought of returning to the Chinese family. Relying on the barriers of the northern Vietnamese mountains, they were called kings. Once the Central Plains dynasty was strong, they would be like Li Xin who came here this time, put their posture low enough to wait for the time when the Central Plains dynasty declined.

Xu Yixian leaned over and whispered: "Register, I see these Vietnamese people, and I have hatred in my eyes. I believe that the news of our army slaughtering Vietnamese north of Tokyo will not be transmitted. Then this hatred can only come because of our army's occupation. You must prepare early, and it will change later!"

“What are you preparing for?”

Bai Guangen said dissatisfiedly: "Our army occupied the commanding heights and simply slaughtered the matter. Tokyo's population is as high as 500,000 and 600,000, and there are many elderly, weak, women and children. They are more skillful and can definitely be killed before dark!"

Bai Guangen was originally the general of the Ming Dynasty and always regarded human lives as grass. In his eyes, killing it was the most worry-free way.

"No, you can't kill!"

Li Xin waved his hand without thinking.

"Um?"

Fei Zhen'e said sarcastically with a silk silence: "Regent, aren't you just a slaughter of a city? Besides, there are fewer Vietnamese killed in the past month?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "Murdering is very simple, but our troops are limited. Can you guarantee that none of them can escape? If you run out a small part of them and say that our bandit army will only kill the Vietnamese, it will force the Vietnamese people to escape into the mountains to fight guerrillas!

In the mountains of Vietnam, there are mountains one by one, and often we have to walk through dense forests. In North Vietnam, we have the people of the Ming Dynasty to guide us, but who will guide us to the south of Tokyo?

If you are not familiar with the place, you can go into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the Vietnamese. How much does it cost to pay? But it is not enough to ignore the Vietnamese who fled into the mountains. They will come out of the mountains at any time to raid us, massacre our people, and steal our women and wealth. Have you ever considered the consequences of this?"

"this……."

Everyone was looking at each other. Indeed, Vietnam's mountainous areas covered the sky with dense forests, beasts and poisonous snakes, and be careful that they can still be found. Mosquitoes and poisonous insects are hard to guard against. Even if there are leaders and at the turn of autumn and winter, many soldiers were bitten red and swollen and itchy.

This is because the party leading the way is familiar with the mountainous terrain. If the party leading the way does not lead the way, blindly entering the mountains to suppress bandits will suffer major casualties if they are not careful. So, what does Li Xin mean to slaughter the city?

Liu Rushi thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He said dissatisfiedly: "You created a massacre in North Vietnam but blocked Tokyo. Obviously, he didn't want Tokyo to learn the news. Then what exactly do you want to do, just say it."

Li Xin smiled slightly and suddenly called out: "Since the Han Dynasty, Vietnam has neglected the benevolence of the central government, refused to accept education, and rebelled repeatedly. A hundred deaths are not enough to redeem his sins. However, God has the virtue of living, and I, Li Xin, cannot bear to attack innocent people after all.

Now, I will give you a chance. Our army will massacre the city in one hour. You have an hour to escape. However, women under the age of forty must stay at home. If you take a step forward, all men in the family will be killed. If you want to survive, hurry up!"

"High, it's indeed high!"

Xu Yixian immediately slammed his high-high and shouted: "Only one hour, Vietnamese people must be full of the minds of escaping their lives. They would not think of going into the mountains to become bandits. After all, they would not feel uncomfortable when entering the mountains. This is a chance to survive. The Regent couldn't help but bring gold, silver and fine materials. Who else would like to be a bandit? Who doesn't want to seize this glimmer of chance? The key to this plan lies in the word "fast", which makes people unable to think quietly. The Regent's insight into human nature is so amazing, Xu admires it!"

"oh!"

Huang Degong also suddenly realized: "The Vietnamese who fled from Tokyo will spread all the way. In panic, starting from Tokyo, all Vietnamese will flee south, and millions of people rushed into the south in an instant. How will the Nguyen tribe bear it? From then on, there will be endless turmoil."

Li Xin nodded and said to the king and minister of Li Chao who were kneeling on the ground: "I won't kill you, you only have one hour to escape, so run away quickly!"

"Regent, please beg me!"

Someone asked to beg, but the soldiers raised their guns one after another.

I don’t know who it is, but I just run away!

When everyone ran, they followed him, not to run outside the city, but to run back to the city. After all, there are gold, silver and fine materials at home that need to be cleaned up.

In Tokyo, after the initial silence, it seemed as if it had been agreed. A group of people rushed out of the house, some riding horses, some chasing cars, and some running barely. They gathered in the direction of the south gate of Tokyo. It was only an hour, who wouldn't cherish it?

The Vietnamese in Tokyo have reached a consensus on surrender. Either they naively believe that the bandits would be like the Ming Dynasty in the past, and they would mainly appease themselves, and they might be able to get a job with half a job. They would be perfunctory for the time being, and they would find an opportunity to revolt again in the future. Or they would be reluctant to leave their homeland and decide whether to leave or stay depending on the situation.

In short, all the city in Tokyo thought that the bandits would treat them preferentially, but they did not expect that they would massacre the city in one hour!

The combat effectiveness of the Li army was extremely low and was confiscated. The civilians were even more unarmed. Even if a small number of people had weapons, they were all old weapons such as bird guns and spears. With the crowds rushing around the city, they could not organize their own hands with simple weapons. Even if they wanted to stay to guard their homes, they had to consider their own weight!
