Chapter 481 Surrender
"Where is their fleet?" Ruan Phuc grabbed the ear of a surviving general and roared.

"I don't know, they left after firing the cannon." The general replied with a sad face.

"What? Where have you been?"

"No, I don't know. Going south."

This general is about to collapse, how could he ask such a stupid question?Where is their fleet going, will they still report to me?Your brain was kicked by a donkey!
"waste!"

Ruan Fu pushed him staggeringly, and then looked around again, trying to find someone who could answer his question.But after wandering around for a long time, neither Mao could figure it out, so he had to return to Ruan Fuyuan again.

"Father, their fleet disappeared after shelling the pier. The soldiers stationed on the pier also died and fled. There are less than 2000 people who can breathe now, and less than half are still injured. But listen They said that after the Ming Dynasty’s fleet left, they turned around and headed south.”

Ruan Fuyuan's face was extremely ugly. In the short period of time from when he heard the sound of cannons to now, his fleet had already finished fighting and ran away.

Looking at the wooden planks and corpses floating on the sea, Ruan Fuyuan felt like crying without tears.

In just a moment, years of accumulation were destroyed.Including warship artillery purchased at a large price from Europe.

"Ah, go back."

Ruan Fuyuan said with a hoarse voice.

He felt that all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he was either resisting to the end or just dying.It seemed so ridiculous at this point.

Since their fleet has disappeared, it means they don't plan to land, so let's go back.

Are there not tens of thousands of Ming troops on the north bank of the Zhengjiang River?Just wait for them to come and kill.

The returning carriage had traveled less than a mile when it encountered officials who wanted to follow Ruan Fuyuan and fight to the end.

Ruan Fuyuan looked over one by one, as if he wanted to carve the faces of these loyal ministers into his mind.

After a while, he smiled.

"Haha! Okay! Okay! I didn't expect that at this time of life and death, there would be so many people willing to die with me! I, Ruan Fuyuan, will be worthy of my life! Let's go! Go back! You are willing to die, but I won't let you die. !”

After saying that, Ruan Fuyuan got into the carriage again.

No one could figure out what Ruan Fuyuan was talking about. They all looked at each other and finally followed his carriage to Hue.

At this time, Hue was in chaos, and people were running out of every city gate in a chaotic manner.Ox carts, horse-drawn carriages, and carts were all moving in a hurry, and it looked like a scene before the end of the world.

"Ah, immediately order the city gates to be sealed. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will. In addition, send troops to chase back all those who escaped from Hue today!"

"Yes, Father!"

As a monarch, Ruan Fuyuan can never be said to be a generous person.

All he said before leaving was to test the attitude of these officials.

Even if you surrender, you have to wait until after I die, right?Or wait until the Ming army arrives?The monarch is not dead, and the enemy has not arrived yet, so he starts to flee?I think there is something wrong with your loyalty!
Nguyen Phuc Yuan, who held military power, carried out Ruan Phuc Yuan's orders very well, and in less than two hours, all the fleeing people were captured.

Most of these people are family members of officials in the DPRK and China, and their purpose is naturally to transfer property and retain incense.

Surrender is necessary, but who knows how Ming Dynasty will deal with them?
If something made them unhappy, wouldn't it be a huge loss if they were all executed?
Therefore, even if they decided to surrender, these smart guys were prepared.

The things at home were prepared a few days ago, just waiting for the change of dynasty.

But the Ming army did not land, and Ruan Fuyuan did not die. They only went to the dock for a look and then came back.

This makes them very uncomfortable.

You came back so fast, it's hard for us to do.

The family hadn't run very far, and they were captured again?

What does this mean?

"Father, we have captured everyone. A small number of them are the family members of officials in the court, and some are wealthy businessmen and common people in the city. How to deal with them?"

"Let those businessmen and people go free. The current situation is turbulent, and it is understandable that they try to escape. Families of those officials, check for me! Find out which families they belong to!"

"Yes, Father. But..."

Ruan Fuhu agreed, but he hesitated to speak.

"Say something."

"What shall we do?"

"Ah, what do you think we should do at this time?"

"I-I don't know, but some people's talk of moving south is not unreasonable."

"Are you afraid of death?"

"I, I" Ruan Fuxi blushed.

"It's human nature to be afraid of death. Ah, I'm afraid the Ming Dynasty has already set its sights on Jiaozhi. Even if we move south, where can we move to? Cambodia? Nanzhang? Do they dare to take us in? Even if they are as scared as a lost dog, In the end, we will inevitably be caught or even killed. Instead of doing this, it is better for me to lead everyone back and surrender. At least, you can have a good death.

I'm older, and it doesn't matter whether I live or die.I can't let you die with me! "

"Father!" Ruan Fuhui's eyes turned red.

"carry on."

Ruan Fuyuan waved his hand, his face gloomy, as if he was much older.

With Nguyen Phuoc leading his troops to suppress it forcefully, Hue seemed to have completely calmed down.But under this calmness, there is an undercurrent, and officials are constantly being arrested.

The next day, Ruan Fuyuan knew the whereabouts of the First Fleet.

But it was indeed news that he was very unwilling to hear: the First Fleet went all the way south and attacked the docks along the coast.

In other words, after the First Fleet left yesterday, it did not return to the Ming Dynasty. Instead, it went all the way south and attacked their docks and ports along the coastline, bombarding them one by one without any idle time.

Ruan Fuyuan's first reaction was anger, anger at being pooped on his head, but this anger soon disappeared. He had already pooped yesterday, wasn't that all?
In addition to this shit, in the next two days, battle reports continued to come back from the north.

When did the Ming army capture Na Na Na?

When did the Ming army march to what position?

To sum it up, the Ming army was getting closer and closer to Hue as they swept all the way.

At night, in Ruan Fuyuan's palace.

Ruan Fuyuan was standing in front of Ruan Fuyuan's bed reporting the military situation.

"Father, according to the latest news, the Ming army will arrive outside Hue City at noon tomorrow at most. There are more and more deserters outside the city, and they have gathered 3 to people. They have been clamoring to enter the city all day long. .”

"Ignore it for now, everything will be decided tomorrow!" Ruan Fuyuan sighed and slowly sat up from the boat.

Then, with the support of Ruan Fuming, he walked out of the hall, looked at the sky full of stars, and sighed as if he was relieved:
"Tomorrow, Kaicheng will surrender. The soldiers will take off their armor with bare hands and welcome the Ming army into the city!"
