In other words, he can bear the worst result, so he has no resistance to surrendering, but he is still a little unaccustomed to it, what he is not used to is Yang Shan's aggressiveness, even if you want us to surrender, shouldn't it be easy to talk about and discuss, what is this situation of force? With a bit of anger, Shang De looked at Yang Shan in a voice that was still a little immature and had not yet reached the stage of voice change and asked, "Come on, what if we don't surrender?" Do you think that no matter whether we die or live in the future, you who appear here are bound to be the first to die, aren't you afraid of death? ”

The young Shangde actually threatened Yang Shan, and in the ears of the ministers, many of them panicked, they didn't want to die. If Yang Shan is really killed, it will be equivalent to forcing the mercenaries to become mortal enemies with them, if that is the case, I am afraid that there will be no one in the scene.

The courtiers looked panicked, and they almost stopped their king Shande. In fact, such a thing has not been done in the past four years, and for their benefit, these courtiers have always been able to form a group to pressure the young King Shande to give in, and this time they are ready to repeat the story of the past.

But before these courtiers could speak, Yang Shan had already laughed. After a burst of laughter, he suddenly pointed his finger at the high King Shande and said, "Death, of course, everyone is afraid, but if there are so many burials because of my death, it is worth it." ”

"Huh!"

As soon as Yang Shan's words fell, the two Leng Feng attendants behind him had already ripped off the buttons on their coats, revealing the dense thunder tube wrapped around their waists.

"What's that?" The sudden change in the situation caused everyone to exclaim. Some knowledgeable officials couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems to be something made of gunpowder." ”

"Sure enough, I have some insight." Yang Shan nodded to the important minister who spoke, a look of admiration for him, and then looked at the ministers, as if a salesman was selling goods, and introduced, "This thing is called Thunder Tube, and it is a giant explosive newly developed by our mercenaries. ”

After saying this, he looked up at the palace, then nodded and said as if to himself, "If everything is normal, these lightning tubes can make this palace collapse completely." ”

"Ahh

Hearing that these thunder pipes were so powerful, all the courtiers were suddenly paving. Although some of them don't think that the power of this thing is as strong as Yang Shan said, but they don't dare to gamble, they are all standing here, once it is really as said, doesn't it mean that their lives are difficult to protect?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we can't defeat the mercenaries, so let's surrender."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the eldest husband can stretch and contract, bow his head for the time being, and wait for the next day..." The kingdom is destroyed, the king will be put under house arrest, and where will there be any future?

There are also many courtiers pleading below, without exception, they are all expressing the same attitude, that is, they must not be enemies with mercenaries, let alone unfavorable to Yang Shan. And some of these ministers who hold military power have already thought that if the king wants to go his own way, then they can only use the power in their hands to restrain the king first.

Shang De, who was high above, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the performance of the courtiers below. Although all this was expected by him, it was like in the past four years, if something would threaten their interests, these people would try to persuade themselves with the overall situation as the priority.

Seeing that they were eating the country's fortune and enjoying the benefits and power brought by a high position, but when the king was facing danger, none of them thought about the country, but still played their own little ninety-nine. Shande was utterly disappointed in them.

Among these courtiers, there is not even a single one like Yang Shan who shows that he is not afraid of death, so is there any future for such a country? I'm afraid that even if there are no mercenaries in the city, it won't last long. That's it, that's it, surrender and surrender, anyway, this king he didn't want to do it for a long time.

Under the pleading of his ministers, Shangde finally made the decision to surrender. Then it was time to lay down their arms, open the gates, and let the mercenaries enter the city and take over everywhere, while all the ministers, including Shande himself, waited in their own places, waiting for fate to judge them.

Yang Shan completed the task of persuasion, happily walked out of New Taipei Mansion with a high spirit, in exchange for the entry of countless mercenaries and auxiliaries.

"Yes, well done." Yang Chendong patted Yang Shan's shoulder with a satisfied face. "Then you will take over the work of the courtiers here. But those who have committed the most heinous crimes must not be spared, and those courtiers and merchants who still have a conscience will confiscate half of their property. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty knows how to do it." Yang Shan nodded with a very respectful look. If you want to be looked down upon by others and respected by others, you need to show your strength, and this is an opportunity to perform.

After handing over the matter to Yang Shan to do, Yang Chendong walked straight to the New Taipei Mansion in front of him under the protection and embrace of the first and second guards.

In his previous life, he had been here. But at this moment, where are the high-rise buildings of the future, even on the most prosperous main street of New Taipei Mansion, it still gives people a dirty feeling.

After walking around the way, I finally came to the palace and met the last king of the Shang dynasty, Shangde.

King Shangde, who had been waiting here for a long time, saw that when Yang Chendong and the others were waiting over, he had already knelt on the ground, looking very obedient and well-behaved.

Yang Chendong's eyes fell on Shang De, who was only thirteen years old, and sighed softly, maybe in the eyes of others, it was because of his own reasons that Shang De did not have the opportunity to display his talents, but who knows, it is precisely because of him that Shang De's fate has changed, at least not like in the previous life, because of the chaos of the court situation, the first Shang clan will eventually be torn apart, and Shang De will also be killed by his courtiers.

Because of Yang Chendong, as long as Shangde is obedient, he should be able to get a good death.

"The sin king Shangde has seen the Ming Dynasty loyal and courageous." Shang De knelt on the ground and shouted, apparently someone had already explained Yang Chendong's identity to him.

"Get up." Yang Chendong said as he reached out and helped him up. It can be seen that Yang Chendong is still very polite to the Shang family, at least the courtiers who generally surrender do not have such an honor for Yang Chendong to help him personally.

"Thank you." Although Shangde is still young, this set of etiquette has been learned since he was a child, so he is naturally very proficient.

Shang De got up, and Yang Chendong also patted him on the shoulder, "Don't think about it so much, the burden imposed on you by history is too heavy, and you have worked hard, although the result may not be satisfactory, but it is not your fault." Next, I will arrange for someone to send you to Chichicheng, your annex has been built, and you will live there in the future. ”

For some reason, after hearing Yang Chendong's words, Shangde's eyes were full of tears. At this moment, he suddenly felt that this Ming loyal and courageous man knew himself, he knew how heavy his burden was, and even in the past four years, he had not slept well. Now that the dust has settled, he can finally get a good night's sleep, and I think that feeling should be good.

With the takeover of New Taipei Province, it represented the fall of the entire First Shang Dynasty. After the news was transmitted back to Chichicheng City, with a wave of the hand of Lord Yu Qian, who had already prepared manpower, 30,000 young intellectuals from Chichicheng entered Yilan, Taoyuan, Xinbei, Keelung and other places under the protection of 30,000 temporary auxiliaries. A new city that is different from this era will also rise quickly.

......

In a small town outside Luang Prabang, one of the territories of the Lancang Kingdom.

The atmosphere here is very tense these days, and people who come and go in the area have to go through strict checks before they are allowed to enter and exit. It once disrupted the living conditions of the people here.

It's just that because a military area has been formed, the news can't be spread out.

And in this unknown town, no one knew that the king of the Lancang Kingdom, Payasai, met with Fan Yuhai, the fugitive general of Jiaozhi, here.

Fan Yuhai originally stood in front of Xiyu City to fight a decisive battle with the mercenaries, but after the defeat, he did not enter the city as soon as possible, but fled there with 20,000 elite divisions, and became the strongest military strength of the Jiaozhi State wandering outside.

As a famous general who has been wiped out, Fan Yuhai still has some ability. In the past month, he has integrated 60,000 deserters from all over Jiaozhi, plus his 20,000 elites, a full 80,000 horses. With such strength, he is finally qualified to meet the king of the Lancang Kingdom and talk about cooperation.

In the largest inn in the town, the two sides met, and Fan Yuhai talked about the situation in front of them.

"Your Majesty, the heart of a mercenary is like that of Sima Zhao, and everyone knows it. Destroying the cochin is just their first move, and they will not be satisfied. Besides, you have reinforced Jiaozhi before, and you have already formed a hatred at that time, and it will not be long before they have completely digested Jiaozhi, and they will raise their butcher knives to cut you, but I don't know what your majesty can do at that time? As soon as the two sides came down, Fan Yuhai exaggerated the threat of mercenaries infinitely, in order to force the other party to make a decision to go to war with the mercenaries.

Payasai was able to become the king, so he was naturally not frightened, he looked at Fan Yuhai with a displeased face, "Don't be alarmist, just tell me, what plan you have, how sure you are." ”
