Chapter 291 The Three Kingdoms are unified, and the world is united! (Part )
The magnificent sound of drums and music rang out, followed by the sound of thousands of horses sound of drums mixed with the sound of horse hooves made the earth tremble.
The appearance of the marching army makes the mountains and rivers pale in comparison.
In the sky, the setting sun is blood-red.
Outside Shangjing, the mountains are like the sea.
On the battlefield, corpses were everywhere, bones piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like a river.
The flames of war burned through the sky and conflicts spread across the world.
And the Ming army appeared at this time.
The Ming army's cavalry were in the front, all wearing black armor, which was very similar to the Jurchen's iron floats.
It is only slightly more refined, but its level of eliteness is even higher than that of the Iron Floating Figures. It is the invincible Dragon Elephant Cavalry.
Some of the Ming army's infantry, dressed in red and holding strange weapons, continued to advance slowly in the form of an array.
These were the Ming army's newly reorganized infantry, which had received line infantry training, were equipped with flintlock rifles, and possessed power that was ahead of its time.
Although there are only 10,000 people, these 10,000 people are enough to destroy any powerful army in the world.
This was also the trump card brought by Murong Fu to deter the Khitan and Jurchen.
In addition, the ordinary Ming army infantry, although they all use cold weapons, are also very elite.
A high social status, timely military pay, allocated land, and even Murong Fu abducted many women from the Li Dynasty and gave them to the soldiers, literally giving them wives.
This made Murong Fu's troops not just government troops but more powerful than government troops.
During the movement of this large army, the Ming army remained in good order, its fighting spirit was high, and its morale was as strong as a dragon.
This was because there was a military flag hanging high in the central army with the words "Murong" written on it.
There is also a suspended hot air balloon with a ferocious face painted on it, which is said to be Mingzun.
This was an expedition led in person by the Hongwu Emperor Murong Fu, who brought with him the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 100,000 field troops. They broke through the non-existent passes of the Liao Kingdom and reached the outskirts of Shangjing City, becoming the dominant force that decided this brutal Battle of Shangjing.
No one could accuse Murong Fu of being mean.
The use of war is a treacherous path that is inherently unethical.
People like Duke Xiang of Song, who valued martial virtues, have long since become a laughing stock throughout the ages.
At this moment, the Khitans and Jurchens were exhausted from fighting, and the Ming army appeared at the right time.
There was despair in the hearts of the Khitans.
It is no secret that the barbarian Wanyan Aguda was found by Ming Dynasty research to be a descendant of the Wang family of Langya. He traced his ancestry back to his roots, changed his name to Wang Jingzhong, accepted the title bestowed by the Ming Dynasty, and became a duke of the Ming Dynasty.
Although the Ming Dynasty seemed to have a tributary rule over the Jurchens, it was not difficult to control them.
There is no doubt that the Ming army will definitely help the Jurchens.
Just one Jurchen was enough to drive the Khitans into despair. The sudden appearance of the Ming army pushed this atmosphere of despair to the extreme.
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Khitan soldiers seemed to have their spirits drained away.
Even with the encouragement of the God of War Xiao Feng and the leadership of Prince of Jin Yelu Renxian, who led the troops and carried the coffin to the battle, it could not inspire their courage.
Courage is something that works at first, then it weakens, and finally it is gone.
All their courage was squeezed out for the Jurchens and managed by them, and now there is really nothing left.
The Jurchens, on the other hand, all cheered.
"It's the Divine Emperor. The Divine Emperor is here to support us!"
"The Liao Kingdom is finished!"
"I, the Ming Dynasty, am invincible in the world!"
The Jurchens were all smiling happily.
The Jurchens are not a simple people, but their thinking is very simple. If you are a little bit stronger than me, you are my elder brother. If you are much stronger than me, you are my father.
Murong Fu's Ming Dynasty was much stronger than the Jurchens', and seemed mysterious and unpredictable. The Jurchens had long since recognized Murong Fu as their father without any obstacles.
Although Wang Jingzhong felt somewhat unwilling in his heart, he also knew that this era belonged to Murong Fu. Murong Fu was so strong and his plans were so profound that he really could not compete with him!
"The Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has arrived! Xiao Feng, stop now, I'm going to welcome him!" Murong Bo had known that Murong Fu would come, and all the information here was passed on to Murong Fu by him.
At this time, seeing Murong Fu's army, Murong Bo thought: This is all the territory of my Murong family!
Therefore, he was very happy and immediately stopped and retreated, preparing to welcome Murong Fu.
Xiao Feng looked at the sudden arrival of the Ming army and felt his hands and feet go cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The emergence of the Ming army doomed the Liao Dynasty to destruction, and it didn't even have the chance to move westward.
At this moment when he was almost hopeless, Xiao Feng remembered Yelu Hongji's last words before his death. Perhaps only if the Liao Kingdom surrendered to the Ming Dynasty could they survive.
After all, the Khitans and the Jurchens had a blood feud, but the hatred between them and the Han people was not that deep.
"Duke Chengguo, why don't you come with me to welcome the emperor?" Murong Bo rode his horse at full speed and came to Wang Jingzhong's side.
At this time, the morale of the Khitan soldiers was low, they were retreating step by step, and their army formation was crumbling.
There is no need for Murong Bo and Wang Jingzhong, the Jurchen soldiers alone are enough to crush them.
"Okay! It's time to welcome you! The Divine Emperor has great power throughout the country, and I have admired him for a long time!" Wang Jingzhong knew what the general trend was and said readily.
Murong Fu is the trend!
As the Duke of Chengguo, he had no choice but to show loyalty to Murong Fu.
Wang Jingzhong abandoned the selfish and complicated thoughts in his mind and told himself: I, Wang Jingzhong, have only one sun in my heart, and that is the great Emperor Hongwu!
"God Emperor!"
“God Emperor!!!”
Not only the Jurchens were shouting, the Ming army was also shouting. Murong Bo and Wang Jingzhong led a group of senior officials to the front of the Ming army.
"Your Majesty is loyal!"
"Your servant Yan Longyuan!"
"Welcome to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Long live the Emperor!"
Led by Wang Jingzhong, a group of Jurchen leaders knelt down and shouted.
The Ming army was getting closer and closer. Among the central army, a figure rose into the sky and flew through the air. It was Murong Fu.
Murong Fu was wearing a dragon robe and moving forward on the void. The troops could only look up at him.
His temperament now becomes more and more extraordinary, reaching the state where heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things are one with me.
People became more and more fanatical, bowing down in worship as if they were visiting gods and Buddhas.
"Long live the Divine Emperor!"
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live Your Majesty!"
Both the Ming army and the Jurchens were in an uproar.
Their emperor really is like a god from heaven!
Wang Jingzhong also stole a glance at Murong Fu in the sky, and seeing Murong Fu's supreme and ethereal aura, like a god, he was completely convinced. He secretly thought: "The emperor of the Central Plains can only be a person from heaven! And the Hongwu Emperor is a person from heaven!"
Murong Fu's exaggerated performance made Wang Jingzhong, a powerful hero of the time, regard him as a man from heaven. He felt that it was natural and reasonable for him to submit to the man from heaven.
Murong Bo looked at the imposing Murong Fu and felt extremely proud, but he knelt down willingly.
Although he is Murong Fu's father, Murong Fu is the head of Murong family, the leader of Murong family's revival, and the incarnation of Emperor Shizu Wu. No, he even surpasses Emperor Shizu Wu.
Murong Bo only felt that his life was worth it, and said excitedly in his heart: Lord Longcheng, Dad, did you see it? My Murong family has restored the country! My son Murong Fu, not only has the appearance of a great emperor, but has become a great emperor!
Xiao Feng looked at Murong Fu in the sky, watching him soar in the sky, he heaved a long sigh, and murmured: "The supreme master of the martial world, Gusu Murong, commands the world, and no one dares to disobey. Who in the world can compete with him?"
Murong Fu's superb martial arts extinguished all of Xiao Feng's fighting spirit. His martial arts were still within the human range, but Murong Fu was no longer human.
Yelu Renxian looked at the Khitan soldiers whose fighting spirit was almost broken, and gradually despaired in his heart: Is our great Khitan country going to perish? No. No.
Everyone had different moods.
Murong Fu landed in front of the formation, in front of Wang Jingzhong and the others. He waved his hand, and the invisible Qi lifted Wang Jingzhong and the others up. He smiled and said, "No need to be polite, just stand up!"
Everyone was shocked, and felt that Murong Fu was unfathomable. They all said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Murong Fu looked at Wang Jingzhong in the crowd, and he really stood out from the crowd with a heroic appearance.
If there was no Murong in the world, this man would have destroyed the Liao and Song dynasties. Starting with only 2,500 people, he would have destroyed the two major countries of the time and established the Jin Dynasty.
It’s a pity that despite the glory of Murong and Wang Jingzhong, they are just small fireflies under the sun of Murong Fu.
"Duke Chengguo, I often hear Yan Longyuan mention you. You are indeed heroic and have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. It was you who destroyed the vitality of the Khitans." Murong Fu praised.
"This is all thanks to your majesty's divine power. Without your majesty's help, how could Jingzhong be what it is today? Jingzhong is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to your majesty!" Wang Jingzhong understands the ways of the world very well. "The only way to repay your majesty is to be loyal to the country!"
Murong Fu smiled and said, "Yes, I will arrange a good treatment for you. My Great Ming has always treated its own people with favor. You are the descendants of the Wang family of Langya, and the Wang family of Langya is my in-laws, so you can also be considered as royal relatives."
After that, Murong Fu looked at Murong Bo and said, "Yan Longyuan, thank you for your hard work over the years."
"Not bitter, not bitter!" Murong Bo said excitedly, "I am willing to devote my life to your majesty's great cause until my death. I will hand over all my people to the Ming court right now."
While they were talking, Yelu Renxian organized his troops and marched towards the Ming army.
But the trapped beast still fights to the death.
Murong Fu said: "I didn't expect that there are such brave warriors among the Khitans! Musketeers, march out!"
Following Murong Fu's order, the order was passed down by officers layer by layer, and the red-clad musketeers of the Ming army formed a line formation and advanced slowly.
The Liao army and the Jurchens did not recognize the flintlock rifles in their hands and had no idea what they were.
Yelu Renxian was also a little confused, but still gave the order to charge.
It was not until the two armies were fifty meters apart that Murong Fu's soldiers suddenly opened fire.
Bang, bang, bang!
White smoke from the flintlock rifle filled the air, and bullets flew out and hit the elite Khitan soldiers.
This unusual movement shocked everyone.
When the white smoke cleared, Yelu Renxian's troops had lost more than 500 men. Such shocking casualties caused the Khitan soldiers to lose morale and flee in all directions.
Even Yelu Renxian was shot and fell to the ground in a pool of blood. He stared at the sky with lifeless eyes, at the setting sun that was about to disappear, and whispered: "This is the sunset of Khitan, this is the dusk of Liao, we are dead"
After saying this, Yelu Renxian closed his eyes and died.
The Khitan soldiers were in chaos.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Wang Jingzhong was stunned.
"Flintlock rifles." Murong Fu said, "I'll talk to you about this later. It's better to pursue the enemy with your remaining courage instead of trying to imitate the tyrant to gain fame! The morale of the Khitan army has been shaken. Now is a good time to pursue the victory, isn't it?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am willing to help Your Majesty destroy the Liao Kingdom!" said Wang Jingzhong.
At that moment, Murong Fu's Dragon Elephant Cavalry and Wang Jingzhong's Iron Pagoda attacked together, strangling the fleeing Khitan soldiers.
Xiao Feng had no choice but to step forward to provide cover, but facing the overwhelming fleeing soldiers and the powerful Dragon Elephant Cavalry and Iron Floating Tower, how could Xiao Feng alone turn the tide?
If Xiao Feng had no one in the Ming Dynasty, he would most likely have died for his country.
However, Xiao Feng had someone in the court.
"Feng'er!" Xiao Yuanshan came on a fast horse and shouted to Xiao Feng, "You are the King of the Southern Court of Liao. Don't you know what to do now? Is there any dynasty in the world that will last forever? The Tang Dynasty that enthroned us Khitans is gone, and the Turkic people that we Khitans followed are gone too. Can the Liao Dynasty that we Khitans established last for thousands of years? When a country has run out of luck, it is best to leave in a dignified manner!"
"Feng'er, surrender on behalf of the Khitan people! The Hongwu Emperor is magnanimous and will certainly forgive the past and will not kill our Khitan people! Because he is kind! He is benevolent!"
Xiao Yuanshan witnessed Murong Fu's divine power in Changchun Valley with his own eyes, and felt that even if a god came down to earth, he might not be Murong Fu's opponent.
For the sake of his son and the Khitans, Xiao Yuanshan had to persuade his son to surrender.
Xiao Feng asked: "Can he really not kill the Hongwu Emperor?"
"can!"
"Then I surrender on behalf of the Khitan people!" Xiao Feng said.
Afterwards, Xiao Feng, the King of the Southern Court of Liao, asked for surrender, and Murong Fu agreed.
The main forces of the Khitan surrendered completely, and Murong Fu did not kill the prisoners, but instead recruited and reorganized them.
At this point, after the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty, the Northern Liao Dynasty, which had been entrenched in China for a hundred years, also perished.
The Three Kingdoms were unified and the world was united.
In the second year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu Murong Fu unified China and shocked the world!
"The History of Liao can also be compiled!" Riding on his horse, Murong Fu smiled as he looked at the Khitan soldiers kneeling on the ground.
At this moment, he and his generals were in high spirits.
Xiao Feng was somewhat dejected. He took the surrendered Khitan general to lead the way for Murong Fu and brought him to the outskirts of Shangjing City.
Without waiting for everyone to call for the city gate to be opened, the gate to Shangjing City opened by itself.
But Prime Minister Yelu Yixin was escorting Emperor Yelu Jun, Empress Dowager Xiao Guanyin and other members of the Liao royal family, kneeling to welcome Murong Fu.
In order to highlight his own contribution, Yelu Yixin began to confess voluntarily, but when he saw that the situation was hopeless, he quickly kidnapped the empress dowager, the emperor and others and surrendered to Murong Fu.
Ignoring the angry glares from the Liao courtiers, Yelu Yixin flattered Murong Fu, "God has blessed me with great talent, wisdom, and bravery. I have conquered the world and unified China. Your Majesty is as bright as the sun and the moon. The Ming Dynasty will be forever strong and will stand tall in the East for thousands of years! I am willing to serve the Ming Dynasty with all my heart!"
"A man who knows the current situation is a hero. If you are willing to take the lead in surrendering, I will naturally give you a way out." Murong Fu did not like Yelu Yixin, but he still had to use him. He looked at Xiao Guanyin and her son, "Queen Mother of Liao, Emperor, will you surrender or not?"
This Xiao Guanyin is really pitiful. Thinking of her identity and talent, Murong Fu's heart was moved.
In history, Yelu Yixin was a treacherous minister and the nemesis of Xiao Guanyin and her son. He took advantage of Yelu Hongji's stupidity and killed Xiao Guanyin and her son one after another.
It was not until the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi was about to be harmed that Yelu Hongji became alert. After all, if the emperor's grandson died, Yelu Hongji would have no descendants.
Tianlong is different from the official history. The rebellion of the Crown Uncle was delayed, and Yelu Yixin's evil deeds were also delayed. Moreover, because the Liao Dynasty was in turmoil, he had no chance to do evil.
However, he was the nemesis of Xiao Guanyin and her son after all, so he sold the two of them out anyway, even though it was meaningless.
"I am willing to surrender!" Xiao Guanyin prostrated herself on the ground, tears streaming down her face, "I only ask the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to have mercy on my mother and me and let us live."
With the surrender of Queen Mother Xiao Guanyin, the Liao Dynasty was completely destroyed in every sense.
At this time in China, there is only the Ming Dynasty!
Murong Fu accomplished his great feat, but the journey was not over yet.
