Du Qi walked in front and saw all the civil and military officials of the Tang Army, as well as all the soldiers in formation. The people standing in the front were Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian and others, and even Chai Shao was among them.
Li Shimin wanted to fight to the death, but Chai Chao never followed.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Tang Jian, and the rest of the civil servants also did not follow.
After all, everyone has concerns.
Furthermore, when Li Shimin led his troops to fight Du Qi's army, everyone knew that it was a battle to the death and there would be no result. Knowing that they are going to die, few people are willing to do such a thing.
That is, Wei Shuyu went.
Wei Zheng saw Du Qi approaching, looked around, but didn't see Wei Shuyu, his cheeks twitched. As soon as his legs went limp, he collapsed to the ground, and his bloodshot eyes were already filled with tears.
died!
Wei Shuyu must be dead!
Wei Zheng has more than one son, Wei Shuyu, but there is no doubt that Wei Shuyu is the most proud of him. Whether it's Wei Shuyu's disposition or Wei Shuyu's intelligence, they all make Wei Shuyu proud. It's a pity that Li Shimin was going to die, and Wei Shuyu followed him, so that Wei Shuyu is also dead now.
Du Qi said: "Duke Wei, Wei Shuyu swears to follow Li Shimin to the death. Even if I persuade him, he is unwilling to survive. Wei Shuyu has passed away, please mourn."
Wei Zheng's body trembled slightly, but immediately he regained his composure, nodded and said, "Thank you Emperor Xia for your concern, old age is fine."
He shrugged and stood up on the ground.
Du Qi looked around at everyone, and said: "Now that you are gathered together, I think you have thought it through very thoroughly. Among you, I don't know what you are thinking. But when I want to say, you are willing to submit, Then I welcome you very much. If you are unwilling to serve the Xia Kingdom and want to go home, I will not stop you and let you go."
As soon as this remark came out, many people began to discuss it.
Some people are willing to submit to Xia Guo, but some people are not willing to submit, hoping to return to their hometown.
So after some discussion, not long after, some people at the scene had already come out, bowed respectfully to Du Qiyi, and left quickly. Those who left seemed to be afraid of being targeted by Du Qi, so they left quickly.
With many soldiers leaving, the prelude to departure began.
Some generals and soldiers left.
Some officials took people away.
After about two quarters of an hour, the discussion at the scene gradually stopped, and no one left. Most of the soldiers left the army, because the main soldiers in the army were local people in Shaozhou. These people were conscripted into Li Shimin's army. They were forced to be recruited by Li Shimin. Many people did not want to be soldiers, so many people After leaving, there were less than 6,000 soldiers left in the end.
Most of the people left.
As for civil officials and generals, in fact, the civil officials who originally followed Li Shimin had already had a split in Kuaiji, and many of them left without following Li Shimin to the south. So the people who stay with Li Shimin are actually a minority, not the majority. But now those who stayed, such as Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Tang Jian, Ning Zhiqi and others, all stayed behind, and none of them left.
Datang was gone, and they felt a little disappointed.
Some regrets.
But life has to go on.
They still need to continue to do things in the future, so they can only submit to Du Qi. After all, they were loyal to Li Shimin, and never betrayed Li Shimin from the beginning to the end, and they did the thing of loyalty to the king. Up to now, Li Shimin has died, Li Tang has been destroyed, so they naturally
Du Qi glanced around, nodded and said: "Now, is there anyone who wants to leave?"
"No!"
All those left behind spoke in unison.
Du Qi nodded and said: "Since everyone is willing to submit to the Xia Kingdom, it will be easy to handle. The officers and soldiers in the army are naturally included in the army, and the official positions are naturally adjusted according to their abilities. The civil servants are also arranged in the same way. If they need to adjust, they will be adjusted. The imperial court has its own arrangements."
"yes!"
Everyone agrees to go down.
Fang Xuanling stepped forward and said, "Emperor Xia, there is still a batch of grain, ordnance and gunpowder in this mountain now. Now they are surrendering to Emperor Xia, and all the food and materials should be received by Emperor Xia."
Du Qi noticed Fang Xuanling's address to him, but he didn't say anything more. After all, Li Shimin had just died, Fang Xuanling's mentality must have changed, and it was not so easy to change.
Du Qi nodded and said: "Xue Rengui, you arrange someone to go with Mr. Fang, and take all the food in the mountains,Equipment and other supplies have been taken over. When the weather cleared and it was easy to travel in the mountains, the soldiers were asked to transport all the supplies out of the mountains. "
Xue Rengui said: "I obey!"
Du Qi nodded, arranged other things, and took everyone out of the mountain to the outskirts of Yushan. After leaving Yushan, it was almost noon, and the team temporarily stopped to rest. While burying the pot for cooking, Du Qi invited Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng to his side.
Among the two, Fang Xuanling's son, Fang Yiai, has been working under Du Qi's command. In addition, Fang Xuanling himself and Du Ruhui are also close friends, and the relationship between the Du family and the Fang family is very good. As for Wei Zheng, he was an in-law of the Du family.
Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Fang Gong and Wei Gong, both of you are very talented people. In the Tang Dynasty, you were the prime minister of the court. Now that you are in the Xia Kingdom, you should still work in the center of the court."
Fang Xuanling said: "Emperor Xia, this old man has no intention of becoming an official anymore. Now that he is old, it is suitable for rest. I am willing to enter the Kingdom of Xia, and I beg Emperor Xia to allow it. As for the matter of serving the Kingdom of Xia, Leave it to a kid like Erlang."
Wei Zhengdao: "Emperor Xia, the old man is the same. Now that I have no intention of being an official, I just think that it is enough to spend my old age in peace. What's more, each generation has its own generation. Now the court of Xia Kingdom, everything is running That's right. So at the moment, I don't need the old man."
He and Fang Xuanling have the same thoughts.
Wei Zheng spent most of his life in Wagang in the early years, then worked for Li Jiancheng, and then for Li Shimin. He has been conscientious and conscientious, not daring to relax in the slightest. To this day, Wei Zheng has lost his will to be an official again.
When you are getting old, take a good rest.
In particular, the death of Wei Shuyu dealt a heavy blow to Wei Zheng, and made Wei Zheng feel quite uncomfortable. Wei Zheng also knew about Wei Shuyu's death, so he couldn't blame Du Qi if he wanted to blame him, he could only blame Wei Shuyu for being stubborn and determined to die.
Du Qi was not surprised to hear what the two said.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling spent most of their lives in the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty has collapsed, and both of them are old people, they don't want to continue to toss in the officialdom.
Du Qi already had an idea in mind, so he said, "Fang Gong and Wei Gong, you two don't want to be officials, so that's fine. But you two are very talented people, especially good at governing the country. As for the governance of the place and the situation in the court, it is all about the family. Therefore, I hope that you will enter the academy to preach and teach scholars. This is not difficult."
Wei Zheng was stunned when he heard it.
Do you preach and teach?
Seeing Du Qi's earnest and determined look, Wei Zheng said, "No problem, the old man agreed."
Seeing this, Fang Xuanling also said: "The old man also agrees."
A smile appeared on Du Qi's face.
With Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, the strength of teachers in the Military Academy will be further strengthened. In Du Qi's plan, the University of Science and Technology is a relatively purely academic university, and the Daxia Military Academy is the cradle of future Xia officials. Therefore, the faculty of Daxia Military Academy should be as strong as possible. This time Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were left behind, which is a big gain.
Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "Emperor Xia, there is one more thing that you should know."
Du Qidao: "What's the matter?"
Fang Xuanling replied: "Your Majesty actually arranged for Li Zhen to take His Royal Highness Li Zhi to go south to Guangzhou first before the battle to the death. The old man said so, hoping that Emperor Xia would pay attention to Guangzhou. But another level The meaning is, I hope that after Emperor Xia takes Li Zhi, he will be merciful and spare Li Zhi's life, he is young and ignorant, so he will leave a little blood for the Li family."
Du Qi said: "I understand. The specific situation will be discussed after Li Zhi is captured. If he is willing to surrender, it's fine. If he has a strong temper, then there is nothing he can do."
Fang Xuanling said: "Thank you Emperor Xia."
Du Qi was talking with Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng. After lunch, the team took a short break and went straight to Qujiang County. When they arrived in Qujiang County, the army camped outside the city, and Du Qi also took a seat in the military camp.
At this time, Du Qi was able to deal with the rest of the affairs, so he immediately arranged for someone to call Zhu Yuwen and Liu Qiong to the camp. After all, both of them had made great achievements in this battle. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
