Chapter 1361: The Final Admission of Defeat
For Datang, this is another sleepless night of power transfer, the sudden Min army took over everything, and all the order of Datang has changed, even the sky!
After a complete sleepless night, accepting the worship of the important ministers of Chang'an, Li Jie was busy with Wu Meiniang, who was living in seclusion behind the scenes, and made a major adjustment to the entire Tang Army, a large number of Fujian and Tang generals were inserted, and the generals who were not at ease were replaced, as well as Gao Kan and Tang Xiujing, these old generals in charge of the army were also hollowed out, although the Tang soldiers did not know the generals, the generals did not know the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was sharply reduced, but this is enough to control an important force in the world is now firmly in Li Jie's hands.
It was not until dawn that Li Jie found Li Zhi's whereabouts.
Just wrapped in a single dress, Xu Jieyu trembled like a little quail to be baked, shivering and shrunk into a ball and knelt on the ground, her beautiful long hair was messily behind her, she didn't dare to raise her head at all, wishing that there was a crack in the ground to get into.
And Li Zhi, at this time, actually knelt in the center of the tent, the horizontal knife passed through the throat, and the blood had already coagulated into a black and purple pile overnight, and the direction of his bow was actually the southwest where Li Jie was, although there was still remorse and unwillingness on his face, but at the last moment of his life, this younger brother who had fought with Li Jie for half his life still admitted defeat!
Seeing such a scene, Li Jie's mind was also dizzy, aside from the grievances between the two, since childhood, this younger brother has stuck behind him like a fart, the old man who was once the same era as Li Jie has passed away one after another, and now even he has gone like this, watching Li Jie's fist clenched and gurgling, standing for a long time, before he let out a long sigh.
"Old ten! Old ten! Don't you brother and I even have the measure of Emperor Yang of Sui? You, why are you here? ”
People are brutal to Emperor Yang of Sui, but after he ascended the throne, Yang Xiu, King of Shu, Yang Liang, King of Han, and his two younger brothers rushed to rebel, and wanted to put Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to death, but after defeating the two younger brothers, Emperor Yang of Sui did not kill any of them, and even brought their families with him, until Emperor Yang of Sui was at the end of his rope and the change of Jiangdu, he was killed by the rebellious Xiaoguo with Emperor Yang of Sui.
What Li Jie thought before was to bring Li Zhi to Constantinople and let him see what the West was like, and Li Jie even thought about carving out a place for him in Italy so that he could also have a place to live.
But now, everything is empty!
The eldest grandson Wuji was also arrested at this time, and it is ironic that it was his most trusted second son Changsun Huan who caught him, seeing Li Zhi die under the horizontal knife he handed over, the old guy didn't know whether to be relieved or heartbroken, his face was extremely complicated, and he was trembling and standing quietly in the tent.
After a long time, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly clenched his fists with both hands and bowed heavily to Li Jie, but said earnestly.
"Li Jie, now that you have won, my eldest grandson Wuji has lost and has nothing to say, so please give me death here today! My eldest grandson Wuji has been in the government and the opposition all his life, and now he can die here, which is not in vain! ”
Who knew that Li Jie shook his head heavily.
"Luo'er has already repaired a recuperation place for her father-in-law on the shores of the Dead Sea, and after a lifetime of hard work, you should also enjoy two days of happiness!"
After speaking, Li Jie took one last look at Li Zhi, who fell to the ground, but he was about to turn around and walk out of the tent, although he was sad, but he was the emperor Li Jie! Now he is shouldering the fate of two empires, and many things are still waiting for him.
But at this time, the queen stopped him!
After all, she accompanied Li Zhi all the way from King Jin to survive the cruel years of Duoyan, although Li Zhi's desperate road was pushed by her, looking at Li Zhi's corpse, Wang Qiang's heart still couldn't stop churning, and even occasionally glanced at Xu Ying, who was shrunk into a ball, Wang Qiang also had a strong jealousy and resentment in her heart.
If he and Li Zhi came to this end of the road together, he would definitely die in anger, and he would never let Li Zhi go on the road so lonely, but! But in the end, I didn't even have such a chance!
With incomparable resentment, Wang Qiang pointed at the trembling Xu Jieyu, suppressed her anger and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this woman charms the Holy Lord, and she can't be loyal!" It's ominous! Just like the merchant Daji! Chen Zhi Zhang Lihua! Leave her afraid that she will mistake the country, and the concubine will please behead her! Funeral for the first emperor! ”
Queen Wang's words were murderous, and Xu Ying, who heard it, almost fainted, almost shrunk into a ball. But turning around in shock, Li Jie shook his head.
"It's just a little woman who doesn't want to die, isn't it too heavy for Jiangshan Sheji to push her head? Whether it is Shang Zhidaji, Chen Zhi and Zhang Lihua, it is the monarch who can't clean himself up, and he has lost the country, but he puts the responsibility on a woman's head, what kind of man is it? ”
Seeing that Li Jie didn't agree, Queen Wang was actually angry and blocked Li Jie's way, pointing at Xu Jieyu and angrily asking: "Charm, disaster to the country, isn't it a sin?" Shouldn't it be killed? ”
At this time, Li Jie was also a little annoyed, and asked Wang Qiang as well: "In this way, you are still the queen, don't you have any responsibility at all?"
Li Jie wanted to use this to scare off Queen Wang, but he underestimated the ruthlessness of the jealous woman, and after only being stunned for a moment, Wang Qiang actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty is right, please behead and kill your concubine and this slut together, and bury the first emperor!"
If Li Zhi can see this scene, he may be able to find some relief! However, Li Jie was forced to be helpless, and he actually waved his sleeves and shouted: "Lao Tzu is now the emperor!" Lao Tzu doesn't allow you to die, you can't die! Now give Lao Tzu back to the Chinese army immediately, what should I do! ”
grabbed the queen's xiaxia veil, Li Jie pushed her out of the tent together, but the eldest grandson Wuji, who was one step behind in this scene, was suddenly in a trance, stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly he also knelt on the ground, facing the direction of the southeast emperor's mausoleum, and sighed.
"O Emperor! I don't want to kill a concubine in vain! This is not benevolence! What is benevolence? If we had chosen him back then! Maybe everything is different now! ”
"O Emperor! Maybe we're all wrong! The old man burst into tears, and the eldest grandson Wuji slammed his white-haired head on the ground.
…………
With Wu Meiniang's experience, appeasing a woman is to give her a lot of things to do, so that she doesn't have time to think nonsense, as soon as she returns to the Chinese army, Li Jie pushes the task of appeasing and screening the subordinates to Wang Qiang, and also ordered someone to bring Li Zhong, the former prince of the Tang Dynasty, over.
Sure enough, with the child in front of her, Queen Wang immediately broke off the idea of looking for death and life, and had to work for Li Jie wholeheartedly.
At this time, I am not afraid of the subordinates in tandem, except for Jiang Ke, who has already laid out the nails, as well as the queen Wang's own family, and Wang Dezhen, the new prime minister who is tied to the interests of Damin, all the important ministers of Chang'an have been hollowed out and imprisoned together, and everything is in Li Jie's control!
After a night of hustle and bustle, the situation of the Tang army camp is much better, the manager Li Fuguo defected, and the cruel and tragic battle for two consecutive days has now reduced the Tang army to more than 350,000 people, more than 100,000 people are killed or seriously injured, and everyone has minor injuries.
and last night, although everything went well, Wang Xiaojie and Yu Zhining's resistance still caused some damage, although in the end Yu Zhining committed suicide and Wang Xiaojie was captured, these had to be cleaned up by Li Jie.
didn't even have time to catch up on sleep, and Li Jie had to get involved in the huge pacification work.
With the Fujian and Tang armies marching in, it was the Fujian and Tang quartermasters, and under the bewildered gaze of the Tang army, the spirits of the big altar were first transported in, so that these officers and soldiers smelled the wine, and then listened to a scream in the wounded barracks.
Some of the government soldiers suddenly became anxious, suspecting that Min and Tang were killing and wounding soldiers in order to reduce the burden, and after this mood was disturbed for a while, the appointed Min and Tang officers generously opened a list, who had brothers and siblings in the wounded barracks, they could visit.
Although they couldn't understand the virus and infection of the medical officer of the red gourd team who were in charge of explaining, they looked at the dirty rags that were originally used to bandage the wounds and were looking at the bundles of fine cotton cloth that were transported over, as well as precious liquor, and baskets of medicinal materials, these Tang Army representatives were still clear enough to know that the Fujian people were doing their best to rescue their comrades.
Although during this time, hundreds of seriously ill people still died, but the Tang Jun who came to visit had nothing to say.
went back to the camp, and even these Tang Army representatives heard the jealous complaints of the Tang Army, "Your Majesty is really partial, and all the medical officers of the Red Gourd Team have been arranged for this group of barbarians in Guanzhong, so that Lao Tzu's dysentery is not taken care of!" ”
Such a few simple words actually made the Tang Army deputies involuntarily feel a little proud, and after the words were passed back, the restless military spirit suddenly stabilized.
At noon, supplies from the rear were also transported, which allowed the Tang army to eat a handful of American canned food.
Although Guanzhong has done its best to supply the front-line army, it is so, but the standard ration of the Tang army is as always a pot helmet inherited from the Qin Dynasty, which is made of flour, and it is still a Shaanxi-style staple snack in later generations.
But this thing is a must with delicious soup, chewing and drinking cold water for more than half a year, it is by no means a person can stand it, but what is the lunch in Min Tang?
Damin is close to the sea, the annual catch is very large, dried fish is one of the important foods of Damin, as well as the salty and delicious dried meat produced in Central Asia, West Asia, Tianzhu rice, Li Jie also brought the canned food of later generations to Damin, although there is no glass bottle at this time, but the air is quickly drained after cooking, and the canned Damin bamboo tube sealed with wax in the bamboo tube can still be kept for a year.
The dried meat, dried fish, and canned meat that the Fujian Tang Army had already eaten and were about to vomit it were rare and delicious in the mouth of the Tang Army, and the rice was gathered around the cauldron! These meats and the canned food that were sent down were poured into the army, and the typical army pot and even the Tang army who ate it all had a thought.
In the end, King Min was also born in Guanzhong, and in the end, Guanzhong people love Guanzhong people!
The morale of the army has calmed down a lot.
But in this case, there are still people who are anxious, and finally Li Jie has dealt with the big thing and wants to take a nap, but Wang Dezhen broke in and twisted his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, eunuch Li Fuguo has been defecting for three days with 50,000 Beiya forbidden army, after all, the Beiya forbidden army is the most well-equipped army in the Tang Dynasty, Li Fuguo led them to set a record of marching 2,000 miles in three days, if you don't send cavalry to chase and kill at this time, once this gelding dog escapes back to Chang'an and supports Li Hong, the king of Yong, as the emperor, it will be difficult to clean up!"
Full of anxiety, kowtowing on the ground, Wang Dezhen anxiously admonished.
Originally, I thought that someone was going to rebel, so I hurriedly came out, but when I heard that this was the case, Li Jie's nose was almost crooked.
"Okay, the widow has already made a decision on this matter, Li Fuguo went back to Chang'an just to send the widow's head, don't worry about it!"
yawned, Li Jie actually went straight back to take a nap, Wang Dezhen scratched his heart but didn't dare to ask, but there was more awe in his heart.
The methods of His Majesty the Emperor of the Min and Tang Dynasties are really unfathomable!
