Chapter 200 Defection
Just when the nobles who had gained power from rebellion were caring again, the army of the Hongyun Dynasty advanced and began to attack the city. This scene made many nobles frightened. Basically, no one dared to go up to the city wall, and they all hid in fear of life and death.
Although the order was issued by them, it was extremely difficult to be executed by someone. This required aristocratic people to watch the supervision from the side. Of course, these people were also afraid of death, and they hid far away in the corners under the city wall, for fear that they would hit them accidentally. So greedy and fear death, how could the city guards be willing to defend the city in their hearts? They were unwilling to accept it.
The leaders of the city guard who received the benefits of the nobles forced the city guards to stand on the front line and wanted them to defend first. Under this pressure, there were naturally many oppositions, but there were many people who died in the end. No one was willing to die like this, so they could only obey the orders and go to defend the city obediently. As for the leaders of the city guards, they naturally hid themselves. How could they die without spending the benefits? This is absolutely impossible. As for whether they can be defended, these leaders don’t care, and they are alright.
In fact, many leaders are ready to leave, and now they can get a fortune, why don’t they want to? As long as they hide in the homes of civilians, they can escape smoothly. Some of them are directly turned into civilians, and even the houses are ready, in order to paralyze the army of the dynasty and prevent them from finding them. This is the truth.
Those nobles have not yet been abandoned, and even if they want to transform into civilians, they can be reported in the end, because every time the dynasty army goes, they will be reported by civilians. If it can be proved, they can get a major reward, which is a real reward. Under the temptation of money, the civilians are even more active. They have thought they didn't know before, but in the end, when the dynasty army comes in, they will report it. Smart people are not just nobles, but civilians are also very smart. Who doesn't love money?
It is precisely because of this common problem that nobles are even more difficult to escape. Moreover, the common people have natural resistance to nobles and are even more angry with nobles. How could they be willing to let these nobles survive? Under such a mentality, even if the nobles promised good conditions, they will be reported in the end, both men and women, and there is no major difference.
Having one does not mean you can have it in the future. What you have not owned before will have no chance to have it in the future. Opportunities are relative, and these civilians and nobles are not like this. They are actually equivalent, but they themselves do not know that they think birth is a natural gap. Now, it just confirms that their ideas are wrong.
With this beginning, it is natural that it is easy to say and do a lot of things. Many cities are secretly surrendered by the resentful city guards. As long as the other party attacks, they will hide in one side with their heads in their arms, and no one of them intends to attack. They surrender like this. Few people resist, because this is the general trend and the resentment towards their superiors and nobles. None of them has been bullied and there is no resentment in their hearts. Now is the best opportunity. It would be a pity not to seize it well.
After hearing this situation, not only Li Shengrong and other generals were stunned, but even Chen Hong was the same. Unexpectedly, what these nobles and leaders did would make the city guards surrender collectively and express a policy of non-resistance. In this way, the occupation of these cities will be more smoothly and the advancement speed will be much faster. Li Nanhui City is getting closer and closer.
Emperor Nanhui didn't know the specific situation, and no one would know it. They would not say that the emperors now have absolutely unstable emotions. If they affected his emotions, they might be killed, and then there would be no chance of survival, and the waiting might be reduced a lot. In their hearts, the Nanhui Empire also had no chance to survive. Now his life is important.
"Prime Minister Zuo, what should we do now? Are we really waiting for death here? You must know that the imperial army is about to arrive in the imperial capital. If you don't hurry up, you may really be saved. Come and think of a way, you can't wait to die like this."
"You think I want to escape from here, but the army outside is His Majesty's confidant, and there is no possibility of bribing it, or it is more appropriate for the dead soldiers. Now I can escape there, I have no choice."
"No, Prime Minister, now we are all grasshoppers on the line. If there is no way out, there is really only a dead end. You can't wait any longer. Prime Minister, we all listen to you. We must escape, so we can't wait any longer. The empire is no longer possible. We don't need to accompany the empire to die, let alone we all have families. Do you want them to die like this?"
"I don't want it, of course I don't want it. Do you have any other ways? If there is one, just say directly that I am not the prime minister now and I am not qualified to be this prime minister. Everyone is a member of the road. As long as we can escape, we can still survive. You should know that the Hongyun Dynasty's methods against those greedy people are extremely cruel. Everyone knows it."
"Of course, so we are all willing to listen to you. You can do whatever you say. You can't wait any longer, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."
"In this way, everyone should hurry up and find the dead soldiers at home as much as possible. I don't believe that the dead soldiers who are like us can't match those outside. They will decide to start tomorrow night and noon. In this case, there may be a chance."
"Okay, let's do this, everyone should prepare quickly. Remember that this time we are all people on the same line. If anyone betrays us, he will not be alive. Don't think that he can survive by reporting to the foolish monarch. This is absolutely impossible. If you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself now. Do you think so? Do it like this?"
The ministers agreed and then passed the information back to their families with their own means. After being ministers for many years, they all had some means, not to mention that there are not people who were bribed. Just use some means. I believe that they will be able to find their own answers soon, and then they will have the opportunity to survive. It is strange that they are unhappy in their hearts. Now they can only wait.
The night sky was quiet without any fluctuations, but this night made many ministers start to wait for a long time for their vitality.
"Why haven't you come yet? Didn't the message be transmitted? If it doesn't, will it be discovered?"
"Silent down, it's not the time to speak. You have to know that there are many guards outside. If they know about it, it's even worse. Just wait quietly. There's still some time to noon now. Be patient and you will definitely be able to arrive."
At noon, it was like a flower girl who had been waiting for a long time. It was time for them to finally unveil the veil, and they were also anxious.
Finally, there were sounds outside. Without thinking too much, they knew that their people were coming. The calmness in their hearts immediately became excited and they stood up and became uneasy. I don’t know if they could beat them, but this is also a kind of hope.
"Everyone, be careful, as long as you have the chance, you can succeed. We have no way out now. No matter how anxious we are, it is useless. It is better to wait here with peace of mind. It is useless to be anxious. Everyone, just be quiet and wait well."
After hearing this suggestion, the ministers also knew that they immediately put down their mentality as ministers, which made people understand this even more. If they were not calmer, they might be eliminated and killed as a thief. Now people outside cannot believe that these people were called by them. As long as there is no evidence, they are still safe and it doesn’t matter if they fail.
With this mentality, everyone slowly calmed down and waited for the final result.
The sound became louder and louder, and the screams were louder and louder. The detained places were approaching, and the ministers were becoming more and more nervous. At this moment, they were moving forward like a big wave. They were already at a critical moment of life and death. As long as they could break in, they had a chance to survive and had a greater chance of life, not to mention that there was no room for choice now.
Finally, the gate was hit in. Many dead soldiers who were guarding the outside world died, but even if they were fighting, they were not often seen. The ministers were obviously shocked. Fortunately, the people have stabilized now and they know that it is useless to be anxious now, so they can decide the outcome. The killing is still continuing, and they are killing in front of them, without any intention of stopping.
The ministers finally found the opportunity and came to the place near the gate. Then they walked out of the gate. Although they were still fighting outside, they had become sparse, and there were even more dead people. Whether it was the dead soldiers who were originally guarding or the dead soldiers they called, they all lay all over the ground. It was obviously dead for a lot of time, and their hearts were beating quickly and nervously, which was very terrible.
After seeing the once imprisoned door in front of him completely opened, these ministers went to escape one after another, and they couldn't care about so much. If they don't run away now, when will they go to escape? What's more, they no longer have the ability to hide now. Let's talk about others. They are slowly trying to find ways to escape from the city. As for escaping from the city, there will always be a way, and they firmly believe it.
