Of course, it was precisely because of his performance that it made those soldiers even more afraid, thinking that New Taipei Mansion was now surrounded by regiments, so they didn't dare to underestimate this strong army envoy.

It has only been more than 40 years since the establishment of the First Shang Dynasty, and the palace still looks majestic. Of course, Yang Shan, a courtier who has served in the Ming Dynasty, still has a little bit of a childish spirit, so when he travels all the way, he always looks ahead, and his steps are steady, which gives people a very confident feeling.

Not only Yang Shan, but also the two Leng Feng who followed him were also in the same eye, and they were not affected by the environment at all and showed half a bit of timidity.

In fact, these two Leng Feng are also people who have experienced bloody battles in the killing field, and this time they came with the idea of becoming a benevolent person if they don't succeed. They also have a large amount of explosives strapped to their bodies, and if something fails, they can be detonated with a single pull.

It was precisely because of the strength of the three of them that the soldiers of the First Shang Clan could not even make the body search. In Yang Shan's words, if you do this, it is an insult to our mercenaries, which is a heinous crime, so don't talk about it, just start fighting.

Compared to the upper echelons of the First Shang Clan, the soldiers below just wanted to survive. In their eyes, even if the war is won, if they can survive, it is not necessarily better than others, after all, in this era, the soldiers belong to a very low-level existence, and there are few times when they are looked down upon. With such thinking in mind, they certainly hope that the current crisis can be resolved through negotiations.

Not to mention, many of them have heard through various channels that the lives of those ordinary people who have joined the mercenaries are several times better off than them, and each of them has been given his own land, or has his own errands, and he has no worries about life, and he can save a lot of silver taels. That's the life they yearn for.

I was able to come to the palace hall smoothly, and at this time, all the courtiers of the First Shang Dynasty were gathered here, and even King Shangde was also sitting high.

Shang De was only nine years old when he succeeded to the throne, and now he is only a thirteen-year-old boy, and he has been besieged since three years ago, and the gradual shrinking of the territory has made him live in tension and anxiety every day.

"Yang Shan, the foreign minister of Chiji City, has met His Majesty the King." When there were still more than ten meters away from the dragon chair, Yang Shan stood still. It's just that the body doesn't bend in any way, so as to express his transcendent status at the moment.

Yang Shan did not salute, many of the courtiers of the First Shang Dynasty looked at it, but they didn't say too much, compared to this kind of dispensable etiquette, they valued their own rights and interests more, that is, what would happen if they continued to fight next? What happens if you surrender?

If you want to talk about patriotism, maybe it is more of a matter for ordinary people, as a person who has immediate benefits, of course, how to get profits. Anyway, I can't be a king, so who will I show the festival?

All the courtiers didn't speak, and although the young king Shangde, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was displeased, he still didn't say anything about this matter, in comparison, he was also concerned about his own survival, after all, he was still a teenager in his bones, and he didn't want to die.

"Minister Yang, but I don't know what this trip taught me?" Shang De said in person. Judging from this point alone, it can be seen that the current First Shang Clan is already in chaos, otherwise, there are some things that do not need the king to charge in person, once he says the wrong thing, wouldn't there be no room for turning around?

Yang Shan sees everything in his eyes, and after being an official for decades, he may not be outstanding in other abilities, but when it comes to observing words and feelings, there are few who are more powerful than officials of the Ministry of Rites. Seeing that it was the lord of a country who went into battle directly, he had a plan in his heart. When he spoke again, he was also full of confidence, "Your Majesty, this time the foreign minister came to rescue you." Nowadays, the mercenary army is extremely powerful, the elite morale of the soldiers is strong, the weapons are advanced, and the unity of the city is sincere. The New Taipei Mansion has been surrounded, if it weren't for the fact that everyone is a compatriot, I am afraid that the artillery would have roared a long time ago, blasted open the city gate, and entered the city. ”

"The foreign minister came to give everyone a chance to live. As long as you surrender Kaesong, your life and safety can naturally be guaranteed, and the king will of course abdicate, but in addition to losing power, you can still cook to open your mouth and dress to stretch your hands. As for the other ministers, of course, it depends on the ability of each of them to make arrangements, of course, it is certain that you will have no worries about your life, that is, your personal wealth can also be preserved to a certain extent. ”

After Yang Shan said Yang Chendong's requirements together, a wise courtier immediately asked, "Is there a proportion of a certain amount of preservation?" ”

"Yes, at least half." Yang Shan replied without the slightest hesitation.

"Half, only half." When the courtiers below received this answer, they immediately began to discuss.

"yes, half of it is a little less, we have lost too much." Needless to say, the one who made this sound must be Scrooge's gang, which belongs to the kind that is similar to asking for money and not dying.

The following discussion came into Yang Shan's ears, as if he hadn't heard it, he listened quietly at first, and when these people's words were almost there, he coughed lightly and continued: "I haven't been in contact with the outside world for so long, I'm afraid you don't know what's going on now, right?" ”

Speaking of which, since the Yang family occupied Chichicheng City, it has completely blocked the entire Xiaoliuqiu Island from the outside world, and it has been more than three years. These courtiers have indeed not heard from the outside for a long time, and when Yang Shan said this, their interest was immediately raised.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, a look of smugness flashed in Yang Shan's eyes and he continued: "For more than three years, the powerful Daming has been divided into three forces, namely the Northern Ming, the Southern Ming and the Minwang line, which are no longer as powerful as before. On the contrary, the power of the mercenaries has been expanded and strengthened. Not long ago, the mercenaries sent troops to Jiaozhi and wiped out the country in a little more than a month. Of course, we have negotiated with them before and promised the same benefits as you, but unfortunately, some people did not grasp it, as for the end..."

When he said this, Yang Shan deliberately paused, which made the ministers of the First Shang Dynasty who were listening with their ears upset, and some people couldn't help but speak: "What's the end?" Could it be that they were all killed? ”

"Great, this gentleman guessed very right, in the negotiation to no avail, the mercenaries guns and artillery into the capital of Jiaozhi, into the big city of Jiaozhi, those important ministers who did not choose to surrender were exterminated one by one, that is, the king of Jiaozhi Li Li and the crown prince Li Yuanlong are also facing the situation of only one person to survive. Later, in front of many people, Li Li personally killed his only son Li Yuanlong, which saved his life, and now he is living in the red city. ”

"What?" Listening to Yang Shan say that Jiaozhi was destroyed, all the ministers were killed, and even King Li Li had to kill his only son in order to survive, all the courtiers of the Shang Dynasty who attended the meeting couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

To say that the strength of Xiaoliuqiu Island is limited, it has also faced various crises in different eras. But no matter what the outcome is, whether they are really defeated or forced to surrender, as the top of the country, there is no problem with their lives being saved. After all, no matter who occupies this place, someone needs to take care of it, and as the natives here, obviously no one knows the situation here better than them, right?

But who would have thought that the mercenaries would not make a move, and if they did so, they would really kill people, and even King Lili, an old brand and a ruthless lord, would not let go, wouldn't that mean that if they didn't surrender, there would be only a dead end?

The ministers felt chills in their hearts, and some smart people had already begun to consider whether to choose to surrender, after all, the mercenaries had already learned how powerful their firepower was. Didn't you see that their self-proclaimed impregnable defense was bulldozed in less than two days? Such an opponent will not be able to take advantage of any advantage in a real fight.

The courtiers were thinking about it, and so was the young king Shangde, who was on the throne. I have to say that when he heard that Li Li even did not hesitate to kill his only son in order to survive, he really felt scared.

As the king of a country, Shande has not really enjoyed a day of happiness and exaltation since the beginning of his tenure.

was originally young, and his father died in a hurry, he belonged to the kind of person who was ordered to be in danger, which means that everything has already begun before he is ready. When he was still young, he had to try his best to deal with internal affairs, but before he could do all this, the lion of the mercenary appeared, and then after sweeping with a strong attitude, the First Shang Dynasty was suppressed in a certain space and lost its vitality.

In the past four years in power, he has been thinking about how to break through the blockade and kill him, but this task has not been completed, and now he has finally been killed at the doorstep, and the choice has become an inevitable trend.

Speaking of which, Suntech has nothing to choose from. He didn't enjoy any fun on the throne, and he had thought more than once that if he was an ordinary person, he could live an ordinary life. And now the opportunity has appeared, as long as he nods his head and opens the city gate of New Beifu, he will come down from the throne and go to live the life of an ordinary person.
