Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 559
With the map drawn by Su Mengqing, he avoided a large group of enemies along the way.As well as food supplies along the way, Zhang Wuji's army of conquering Shu suddenly appeared in the territory of Bashu like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

The sudden appearance of the Chagatai Mongolian cavalry under Zhang Wuji suddenly panicked the officials and troops who had been promoted to the Bashu Xia regime.

Many towns and strongholds along the way were completely surrounded by Zhang Wuji's cavalry without knowing what happened.

After that, the soldiers of the Han army under Li Qisi went to persuade them to surrender.

In this era, there were no telephones and no radio stations.The Han officers under Li Qisi lied to the defenders of Ming Xia that Bashu had been completely captured by the Great Ming Army and that the false Emperor Ming Sheng had surrendered.Let them lay down their arms as soon as possible and turn against the heavenly army.

For the sudden appearance of the Ming army, most of the soldiers in the strongholds and towns had no doubts.They really thought that the Ming army had coerced the court to surrender.

Now that the imperial court they are loyal to has surrendered, there is no point in holding on to it any longer.

So they put down their weapons one after another, opened the city gates and surrendered to the Ming army.

This surrender also caused a chain reaction. Li Siqi ordered the surrendered Mingxia officers and soldiers to follow them to persuade soldiers in other cities and strongholds to surrender.

However, the Ming army did not kill and surrender, and did not harm the people, and those who were willing to join the Ming army were directly incorporated into it.Those who don't want to don't feel embarrassed, and use the money obtained from the search of the treasury to send them back to their hometowns.

With these examples, except for a small number of diehards in the Ming Xia court, the Ming army almost took down most of the other areas without bloodshed.

The speed at which Zhang Wuji and the others were on their way could not keep up with Li Siqi's marching speed, let alone the speed at which Ming Xia's army surrendered.

Along the way, Su Mengqing was stunned. She originally thought that Zhang Wuji's conquest of Shu would be a fierce battle, but she didn't expect that such a delicate thing is the support of people in the world.

Zhang Wuji and his party walked all the way, and all they saw were the Ming army's own flags, and the life of the towns and cities along the way, whether it was ordinary people or wealthy households, went on as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Many of the Ming Xia soldiers who switched to Zhang Wuji's command did not change any of their armor and uniforms. They just changed the flags on the city walls. Everyone did what they were supposed to do.He even directly started to stand guard for "His Majesty Mingzun".

Looking at the beauty along the way, Zhang Wuji said, "It seems that things are much better than I imagined."

Zhao Min came to Zhang Wuji's side on horseback and said, "I didn't expect that the battle to conquer Shu would be so easy. This time General Li has contributed a lot. The emperor will reward him properly in the future."

At this time, Huang Shinu said happily: "This is not the credit of my uncle, but the credit of Wuji. Wuji does not kill soldiers and does not harm the people. Rule the world with benevolence and virtue, and the people will naturally eat pots of milk to welcome them. Master Wang."

Su Mengqing looked at the woman in yellow shirt, slightly lost in thought.

This is because the girl in yellow shirt, who has always been aloof, smiled, and the way she smiled was so charming.This was also the first time Su Mengqing saw the smile of this beautiful woman.

Zhang Wuji chuckled and said, "It's not enough to eat pots of pulp to welcome the master. The world has been in turmoil for too long, and what the people want is a peaceful and peaceful world. In fact, no matter who sits on the throne, It doesn’t matter who the seat is, whether it’s a Han Chinese or a Mongolian. It doesn’t matter to the common people.”

"As long as the world can be peaceful and the people have enough food and clothing, the people will recognize him as the true son of heaven. This is what Confucius said, 'the virtuous live in it'. Since ancient times, there have been many tyrannical monarchs of the Han people. For example, Jie Zhou, Sui Dynasty Emperor Yang. Among the Hu people, there are also many Ming masters, such as Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Tuoba Tao."

Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min at this time, and he said: "Whether it is Mongolian, Han, Hui, or Persian. We are all human. Except for some differences in living habits and language, there is no other difference. Just like now We, don’t we all live together very well? Why do we have to divide people into ranks? Why do we kill each other? If the Yuan court officials understand this truth, I don’t have to go to war.”

Zhao Min didn't say anything when he heard the words, just let out a long sigh.

After thinking about it, Zhao Min said: "I will try my best to convince my father and brother. The Yuan Dynasty is already corrupt. If they work for the Yuan Dynasty, it will only increase the killing and help the evildoers."

Huo Jia looked at Zhang Wuji and smiled slightly.Now Huo Jia really felt that Zhang Wuji was the reincarnation of Mingzun.He is as warm as the sun, dispelling the cold and suffering in the world.

She was captured by Zhang Wuji from Persia to the Central Plains. Along the way, wherever the Ming army was, they dared not say that singing and dancing were peaceful, and the common people lived and worked in peace.But their living conditions are much better than those in other places.At least live without fear.

A few days later, everyone arrived at the foot of Mount Emei.

Right now the entire Bashu is basically under Zhang Wuji's control.The only places where surrender was not captured were Mount Emei, Chengdu, and Yuzhou, the capital of Mingxia.

But Emei, Chengdu has been surrounded.On the Chengdu side, Dai Shou, the Prime Minister of Mingxia, was defending.The capital Yuzhou was defended by the little emperor Mingsheng himself.

Dai Shou is Ming Yuzhen's old subordinate, Ming Yuzhen has a lot of support for him, even though Li Qisi sent someone to deliver letters to him several times, he understands it with reason and affection, and asks him to protect the safety of the soldiers and people in the city. Based on this, stop stubbornly resisting and surrender as soon as possible.

But this man is a stubborn donkey, and he will not surrender no matter what.He even killed the envoy Li Siqi sent to persuade him to surrender, with the appearance of preferring death to surrender.

Although Li Qisi was very angry about Dai Shou killing the envoy, Zhang Wuji had issued a strict order that no matter how fierce the opponent's resistance was, no violence was allowed after entering the city.

However, the advancing speed of the Ming army was too fast, and most of the cavalry relied on Su Mengqing's food supply, and Qingqi rushed forward at the fastest speed, and most cities also surrendered in a timely manner.The siege equipment of the Ming army is still on the way of transportation.So now Li Siqi has nothing to do with Dai Shou.

Yuzhou, on the other hand, was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, the Qingqi led by Zhao Qi was pressing from behind, and on the other hand, the Jingzhou navy led by Zhao Pusheng had already arrived in front of the Kuimen Water Pass.

However, although Zhao Pusheng's navy was making a lot of noise, it was just a feint.The iron lock on Hengjiang is neither smooth nor smooth, and the Kuimen pass is very difficult to break.

Zhao Pusheng is the captain of the navy, and he knows that a strong attack will inevitably pay a high price.Therefore, he built a water village near the mountain on the waterway outside Kuimen Pass.Directly "set up camp" on the spot to confront the guarding troops of the gate.

But today Zhao Pusheng started his own actions.

That's because Zhao Pusheng received the driftwood that Zhao Qi had sent down the river, and on the driftwood were engraved the words Mingzun's Imperial Designation of Bashu.

This was originally Zhao Qi's trick to make the Yuzhou defenders surrender in order to confuse people, but inadvertently passed the news to Zhao Pusheng.

And Zhao Pusheng also started to storm Kuimen and break Yuzhou City.
