"The guilty minister Li Keyi led all the defenders of Bianliang City to kneel and welcome the Great Ming Crown Prince, Duke Xu, Duke Chang, and the other heavenly soldiers and generals!”
Li Keyi knelt straight and raised the seal and sword of the general guarding the city above his head.
Behind him, there were many Mongolian soldiers kneeling on the ground.
Zhu Biao, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun rode their horses and slowly walked in front of Li Keyi. Zhu Biao gestured for Xu Da to receive the seal."Minister Xu, you are the commander of the Northern Expedition.”
Xu Da hesitated for a moment and shook his head."Crown Prince, you should do it. You have contributed greatly to the capture of Bianliang City this time. It can be said that without you, we would never have been able to capture this ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties in a day! Therefore, I think that you are the most qualified to accept the surrender!”
Zhu Biao said that it was against the rules!
"The rules are that dead people are alive. Crown Prince, if you insist on me surrendering, I will feel ashamed!”Xu Da's attitude was very firm and he had to decline.
Of course, what he said was one of the reasons. Zhu Biao had indeed contributed the most to this siege. Whether it was killing Aruven or recruiting Li Keyi, he was the one who made the plan. He said that he had contributed the most, and he believed that no one in the Northern Expedition Army would object.
On the other hand, it was naturally because Xu Da knew how to be a good person. He wanted to push the boat with the current and give Zhu Biao more glory. Since he wanted to do a favor, he had to do it a little bigger.
Chang Yuchun chuckled and said,""Crown Prince, since Old Xu insists, you should agree. To be honest, I've always been convinced by you in this battle. Whether it's Old Xu or you, we guarantee that no one will object to accepting the surrender.”
After saying that, he scratched his beard and complained,"It's just that this city was broken too quickly, and we haven't killed enough yet. Damn, it's so boring! Hey, Li Keyi, tell me honestly, are you faking your surrender? Ambush elite soldiers in this city, just waiting for us to rush over and kill them as soon as we enter?”As he finished speaking, this guy's eyes were already wide open with anger, and his voice was fierce.
Li Keyi was shocked. He quickly kowtowed and felt wronged."Duke Chang, General Chang, how would I dare? I am truly begging for surrender. It is the truth!”
"You bastard, you even know how to use idioms. You speak Chinese better than us!”Chang Yuchun turned around and cupped his hands at Xu Da.""Marshal, please let us take two thousand people in to explore first!”
Xu Da nodded.
Chang Yuchun then led a group of people into the city.
Zhu Biao admired Chang Yuchun in his heart. This simple-minded man was actually quite meticulous. He had his own way of doing things and speaking. For example, he called Xu Da Old Xu when he had nothing to do, but when he asked for orders, he would always call him Marshal.
Chang Yuchun went in for almost fifteen minutes before coming out.""There's no problem inside!"
"Crown Prince, please. After accepting the surrender, our brothers can eat and rest!”
Xu Da urged him again, and Zhu Biao did not reject him anymore. He got down from his horse, bent down, and took the seal and saber that Li Keyi had been holding for a long time. He handed them to the guards beside him, then casually placed the sniper rifle barrel on Li Keyi's shoulder and said solemnly,"I represent the Great Ming Army and the Great Ming Imperial Court to accept your request to surrender. The Northern Expedition Army will fulfill the conditions promised in the letter and guarantee your safety. As for your reward, it will be announced as promised after reporting to Imperial Father!”
Generally speaking, the surrenders would place a sword on the left shoulder of the surrendering party to show their conquest. However, Zhu Biao did not have a sword, so he had an idea to use a sniper rifle as a sword.
"I thank Your Highness on behalf of the 80,000 soldiers!" Li Keyi said gratefully.”
"Alright, we're family now. Minister Li, please stand up!”Zhu Biao's serious expression changed and he smiled kindly. In fact, he also looked down on people like Li Keyi. It was a waste of food for such trash to live. However, in order to set an example for the Yuan Court officials, Li Keyi could not die. Not only could he not die, but he had to treat him well to encourage more Mongolians to surrender.
If he wanted to deal with this person, he would have to wait until after he conquered the Yuan Dynasty and destroyed the Mengyuan Imperial Court.
"I'm lucky that I have a good master!”Li Keyi probably felt that since he had already surrendered, he was shameless to the end. He said whatever he wanted to say, making Zhu Biao feel embarrassed.
"Your Highness, what is that in your hand? It looks so unique. It looks so majestic in your hands!”After Li Keyi finished praising Zhu Biao, he started to praise his equipment.
" Hahaha!" Chang Yuchun laughed." The thing in the Crown Prince's hand is a treasure. It killed Aruwin!"”
Li Keyi's body stiffened, and his face turned pale. So this was the hidden weapon that killed that old bastard Aruwin. Just now…it was placed on his shoulder…
Zhu Biao could tell that Li Keyi was worried. He glared at Chang Yuchun and comforted him kindly,"" Minister Li, don't worry. This thing is actually very safe with the safety off..." He suddenly paused. He didn't seem to have turned off the safety just now.
After that, the main force entered the city and received the surrendered soldiers. Then, they left 10,000 people to guard the city while the rest of the soldiers were stationed outside the city. The 80,000 surrendered soldiers had to be reorganized.
The records and household information in the government office were carefully preserved.
Zhu Biao didn't forget the promise he made to the Han people when he heard about Aruwen's massacre. He ordered his men to hang Aruwen's body at the city gate for ten days.
Ever since the army left, he hadn't had a good night's sleep for almost a month. Now that Bianliang City had been taken, Zhu Biao could finally have a good rest.
Xu Da set up the marshal's residence in the government office. Zhu Biao, as the Crown Prince and Deputy Marshal, had a noble status. The Prince of Liang, Aruwen's residence, was assigned to him as the Crown Prince's temporary residence.
When Zhu Biao arrived at the Liang Residence with the eight guards, he discovered that the Ming soldiers were expelling Aruwen's family.
When a girl saw Zhu Biao, she broke free from the soldiers and ran towards him.
The eight guards immediately surrounded Zhu Biao and protected him.
The girl didn't rush forward. She stopped about three meters away from Zhu Biao and knelt on the ground, crying,""Your Highness, Ming Crown Prince, this little girl Min Min Timur is willing to be a slave. I only beg you to let go of my grandmother and relatives!”
Although the girl had her head lowered, her figure was graceful and her voice was as pleasant as an oriole. She wore a red woolen skirt unique to Mongolian girls and a beaded headdress on her head. She was beautiful and charming.
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and his expression was strange."Minmin Timur? Who is Wang Baobao to you?"
"He is my brother!"
"Your brother has a Chinese name. Do you have one?”
"Zhao Min!" The girl replied in a low voice.
