"Song Zhong is dead!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Zhu Di took Song Zhong's head and stood on top of the city and shouted.
When the officers and soldiers of the Yan army saw this, they also shouted loudly.
When the imperial army saw this situation, they were immediately frightened.
At this moment, the night was deep and dark, and only King Zhu Di of Yan was standing next to the fire, holding Song Zhong's head in his hand!
This horrifying scene frightened the soldiers of the imperial court to throw away their weapons and immediately knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.
Soon the first was followed by the second, and surrender swept through the imperial army like a plague.
Upon seeing this, the entire Yan army burst into deafening cheers.
"King Yan is victorious!"
"King Yan is victorious!"
"King Yan is victorious!"
Zhu Di looked at this scene with a smile on his lips.
Capture Juyong Pass, kill Song Zhong and recruit the surrendering army. Beiping will be worry-free from now on!
The remaining few people are just clowns and can't make any waves!
Zhang Xin's performance in being able to kill Song Zhong and surrender his army this time was truly remarkable.
But the real number one hero is not Zhang Xin, but his virtuous son-in-law Su Yang!
If Su Yang hadn't reminded him in time, Zhu Di would have really launched an attack.
Although Song Zhong's army could be caught off guard, his own army would definitely suffer heavy casualties. How could it achieve such a brilliant result?
Su Yang, Su Yang, are you really sent by God to help me raise an army to quell the crisis?
Zhu Di didn't know the answer to this question.
But he knows one thing, that is, Su Yang is his son-in-law!
Son-in-law and son-in-law are also half sons!
My virtuous son-in-law, what are you doing now?
At the same time, Xishan Military Camp.
Chu Xiong and others were staring at the words Serving the Country with Loyalty on the small blackboard, writing and taking notes with strange expressions.
Seeing how obedient these soldiers were, Su Yang couldn't help but nodded.
"You haven't had much time to train."
"When the imperial army comes to the city, all the soldiers will go into battle to kill the enemy and wash away the shame."
"So during this period, your main training content is military discipline training and tactical training, as well as attending night school to recite military songs!"
Hearing Su Yang's words, Chu Xiong raised his hands honestly.
"May I ask, sir, why do we still go to night school?"
Not only could he not accept it, but the 30,000 surrendering soldiers also found it difficult to understand.
Have you ever seen a prisoner taught to read and write?
Have you ever seen anyone giving lessons to Jiangjun?
Is this damn normal?
Su Yang nodded with a smile and patiently explained: "You asked a very good question!"
"Chu Xiong, are you literate?"
This Hundred Households of the Forbidden Army has now become the number one person who wants to surrender the army.
Therefore, every word Chu Xiong said actually represented the idea of 30,000 troops surrendering, and Su Yang had to pay attention to it.
Chu Xiong nodded. He was born into a meritorious general. His father and ancestors were all veteran generals who followed Taizu Emperor Gao to conquer the world. Otherwise, he would not have been selected to join the Forbidden Army and become one of the hundred households in the Forbidden Army!
"The general is indeed literate, but not very much."
Su Yang was a little surprised when he heard this. It seemed that Chu Xiong was still the queen of the generals.
"Since you are literate, you should understand that although those Confucian holy texts are smelly and long, it makes your head hurt every time you read them..."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Most of their soldiers were illiterate and naturally looked down upon those Confucian classics.
When Su Yang said these words, he simply said them into their hearts.
"However, you have to admit that after reading these Confucian holy words, you can understand the truth and understand the righteousness!"
"You are all idiots and you look down on those literati and scholars who are powerless. But if it were those literati and scholars, they probably wouldn't do such things as surrendering to the enemy in front of the enemy or seeking glory from their sellers!"
Hearing this, Chu Xiong and others were dumbfounded.
What do you mean?
I was fine and happy just now!
Why are you starting to make personal attacks again while talking?
We are forced by the situation, and those who know the current affairs are heroes. Why do you say "surrender to the enemy before the battle" or "sellers seek glory"?
Heartbreaking!
It’s so fucking heartbreaking!
Su Yang saw their ugly faces and was not used to it at all.
"Martial men have blood, and scholars have integrity. This is my spiritual heritage of China for thousands of years!"
"The reason why I want you to become literate is that, firstly, illiterate soldiers cannot become generals, and secondly, only by reading and literate can you understand what 'the righteousness of the family and the country' means!"
The righteousness of family and country?
Hearing this word, Chu Xiong was very angry.
He had already read and practiced calligraphy, and he also understood what the righteousness of his family and country meant, but when he died, he still didn't shrink back. What's the use of it?
"Master Su, I think you are wrong!"
"The Confucian holy words are something that literati should read, but we are all idiots, so why should we read them?"
"As Mr. Su said, we will go into battle soon to kill the enemy, so the general thinks that we should seize the time to practice military tactics and improve our combat effectiveness instead of doing these meaningless things!"
Seeing someone openly refuting Mr. Su, the instructor present couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to teach Chu Xiong a lesson.
However, Su Yang just smiled and waved his hand, signaling the instructors to leave.
He looked at Chu Xiong and chuckled: "Chu Xiong, I only want to ask you one question!"
"If last time it was not the King of Yan who raised troops to quell Jingnan, but the Mongolian barbarians broke through the Great Wall and entered Beiping, would you have surrendered with your brothers?"
"No!" Chu Xiong shook his head very decisively, "Although the general is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is not really a coward who surrenders to those barbarians to survive!"
"Very good!" Su Yang nodded happily, "Then why did you surrender to King Zhu Di of Yan? Is it because King Zhu Di of Yan is a nobleman of Tianhuang and the biological son of Grand Ancestor Taizu?"
Chu Xiong was stunned by Su Yang's words, and it took him a long time to react.
"Mr. Su, these words of yours are completely incomparable!"
"The Mongolian barbarians have a blood feud with the Ming Dynasty, so even if it means death, the general will never bow to them, let alone surrender to the barbarians!"
"But King Zhu Di of Yan is different. He is a truly heroic man who is powerful in the world, and this time he is still fighting for peace. Even if we have no choice but to surrender, it doesn't mean that we are cowards, right? "
Su Yang did not answer in a hurry, but looked at the others.
"Do you all think so?"
The officers and men of the three armies nodded.
Chu Xiong indeed spoke what was in their hearts.
Surrendering to Prince Zhu Di of Yan does not seem to be unacceptable. After all, he is the world-famous Prince of Yan.
But if they were asked to bow their heads to the Mongolian barbarians and kneel on the ground to pray for their lives, they would never be able to do such a thing!
Even if you die, you will never bow to the barbarians!
"That's why I asked you to read more!"
Su Yang sighed, "If you read more, you will understand what is national justice and what is the meaning of family, country and world!"
"You are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the duty of a soldier is to protect the country and the people, not to fight for power and territory for others!"
"You must keep these four words in mind: serving the country with loyalty and loyalty. Serving the country is not about surrendering to someone, but serving the motherland and protecting the country and the people. This is the righteousness of the family and the country!"
Su Yang paused and said in a deep voice.
"You are unwilling to surrender to the barbarians because you still have a conscience in your hearts and understand that you are truly aiding the evildoers!"
"But if you see with your own eyes that the people are living in dire straits, and that the government and the court have no regard for the people, then as soldiers of the court, are you also helping the evildoers?"
Faced with Su Yang's question, everyone suddenly fell silent.
"The righteousness of family and country...?"
Many people murmured and faced their hearts for the first time.
For the first time, they felt that the young Mr. Su in front of them might bring them a completely different fate!
