When the handsome flag belonging to Su Yonglin appeared in the eyes of Zhou Zhi, Zhang Shi and others, the emotions of the Ming army soldiers guarding Hangzhou boiled.
They shouted slogans such as "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious" and "The Ming Army is mighty" and waved banners to express their inner excitement.
The Ming army led by Su Yonglin shouted loudly the Ming Dynasty's new national strategic slogan "Destroy the bandits from all over the world, unify China again, sweep away the demons and monsters, and carry the revolution to the end" as a response to this group of comrades.
Su Yonglin once again met Zhou Zhi and Su Changsheng, whom he had not seen for several years, and also met Zhang Shi, who had exchanged letters for many years but had never met.
He turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, helped up the three people who were half kneeling on the ground and saluted, patted their shoulders, hugged them warmly, and expressed his joy.
Then, Su Yonglin, surrounded by thousands of troops and cheered by the excited crowd with flying banners, entered Hangzhou City and climbed the tower in person.
Under his order, Zhang Shi and others had already placed the flags originally belonging to the Southern Song Dynasty and Jiangnan Kingdom on the city tower in advance.
There are the original battle flags of the Song Army here, as well as many flags symbolizing the official, court, royal family and etiquette of the Southern Song Dynasty and Jiangnan Kingdom.
Su Yonglin selected several representative flags, asked them to raise them, lit them with a torch, then threw them down from the tower, and then personally raised the Ming war flag.
In an instant, the sound of gongs and drums was earth-shattering. The Ming soldiers, who were densely packed but well-organized outside the city, shouted the war cry of the Ming army and the national strategic slogan of the Ming Dynasty at the top of their lungs, declaring that the Ming Dynasty had completely overthrown this decadent regime. A new order belonging to the new era will be established here.
Many people heard this boiling cry.
The residents in the city heard it, the officials in the city heard it, the captured Hangzhou bureaucrats in the city also heard it, Shen Gai heard it, Zhou Linzhi heard it, they all heard it.
Then they all understood.
The old days are gone forever.
That night, the Ming army held a grand celebration banquet outside the city. All the soldiers received victory awards and could drink and eat meat to celebrate the victory.
At the same time, ordinary residents in Hangzhou received gifts of three kilograms of rice, one kilogram of meat, and one piece of cloth from each household as a gift for the Ming army to enter Hangzhou and for the Ming Dynasty to rule Hangzhou.
From now on, we will be partners of the same country. Of course, we must have a good impression, we must do what we should do, we must demonstrate the image of a civilized teacher and a revolutionary teacher, and we must do no wrong to the people of Hangzhou City and try not to do anything wrong. Disturb their lives.
Of course, on this point, Zhang Shi, Zhou Zhi, Su Changsheng and others did a very good job.
Especially Zhang Shi, the main person in charge of launching the mutiny and the subsequent series of operations was Zhang Shi. The city of Hangzhou was able to belong to the Ming Dynasty completely and without any defects. Zhang Shi was the first contributor.
So Su Yonglin personally poured wine for Zhang Shi at the celebration banquet and toasted him with a glass of wine. Zhang Shi's face turned red with joy, and he could hardly control his body. He was so excited.
Su Yonglin was naturally very happy. After drinking in Kaifeng City, he drank a few more drinks for the second time and felt a little drunk.
It's not easy to get him drunk, and it's even harder to make him feel like drinking to his heart's content.
But this little alcohol can't defeat Su Yonglin.
Early the next morning, he got up early, and under the guidance of Zhang Shi, who had barely gotten up after drinking too much, he went to the Hangzhou Palace to meet the nominal lord of Jiangnan and the actual prisoner, Zhao Dun.
Su Yonglin didn't have any sympathy for this royal child who could have become Song Guangzong, but when he heard Zhang Shi talk about Zhao Dun's situation, he really felt that Zhao Dun was quite miserable.
He's crazy.
It was like an inescapable fate. He was originally driven crazy by his wife and became a cowardly emperor who was ridiculed by others, but now, he was driven crazy by Shen Gai.
Su Yonglin came to the side hall of the Hangzhou Palace and saw Zhao Dun lying on the bed with dull eyes and salivation.
"Is this entirely Shen's fault?"
Su Yonglin asked with a frown.
Zhang Shi nodded.
"Yes, Shen Gai once boasted to me, saying that the emperor was just a plaything in his hands. Only now do we realize how intoxicating power is. At first, I didn't know why he said that, but later he took me to see it in person. , only then did I know what Shen Gai had done."
In short, since Shen Gai took control of Zhao Dun, he has not allowed him to move smoothly. He has been using medicine to paralyze his limbs, making him unable to move. He needs help for various physiological needs in life.
Facing Shen Gai's various behaviors, Zhao Dun was very angry.
At first, he insulted and angrily insulted Shen Gai, saying that he was the greatest traitor in the world and had no kind words for him.
Later, Shen Gai was probably unhappy, so he didn't have anyone to serve Zhao Dun, who was lying on the bed for two days. Zhao Dun couldn't take care of himself, and it was all over the bed, and he was dirty and smelly.
Zhao Dun cursed angrily for a day and a night, but he stopped scolding the next day. Instead, he cried and shouted for help to deal with it.
But no one helped him. The people who came just covered his mouth and nose with a cloth and fed him food and water. He made a fuss at first, but then he became very hungry and had no choice but to eat and then continue to poop.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that someone came to help him deal with the dirt all over his body.
From then on, Zhao Dun didn't dare to scold Shen Gai, and instead discussed it calmly, hoping that Shen Gai would let him go and let him regain his freedom. He would definitely not compete with him for power. He could give him a palace and let him study and practice calligraphy. .
But Shen Gai seemed to feel unhappy.
"Reading and practicing calligraphy? Do you want to learn knowledge to fight against me?"
So he decided to torture Zhao Dun once every five days by letting people watch Zhao Dun unable to take care of himself and not help him for two days.
No matter how firm Zhao Dun was, he couldn't bear to be treated like this. His attitude kept softening. From the initial scolding to the subsequent pleading, and then to the final demention, his whole person was so useless.
Now, except when he urinates and defecates, he will convulse and scream, as if he is being abused. Under normal circumstances, he just lies like this, dumbfounded and silent.
I eat when I have food and drink when I have water, but otherwise there is no reaction.
After Zhang Shi took control of Hangzhou City, he took a look at Zhao Dun and learned the truth from the mouths of the palace maids and eunuchs. He was shocked.
"He is not only crazy now, but his body is also completely disabled. He has been taking medicine for many years. The medicine has made him lose all his limbs, incontinence of urine and feces, completely unable to take care of himself, and there is no cure. Living is worse than dying. It’s really sad that the leader of the country has reached this point.”
Zhang Shi sighed: "I never expected that Shen Gai could actually do such a thing. What kind of grudge does he have with Zhao Dun? Do you have to torture him like this?"
"Don't underestimate the evil thoughts and perversions in people's hearts. If this were not the case, why would I need two major purges?"
Su Yonglin looked at the crippled Zhao Dun coldly, shook his head and said, "Has he ever committed any crime? Has he ever done anything evil?"
Zhang Shi shook his head slowly.
"No, although he has a title, he had been studying in the palace before he became the Lord of Jiangnan. He was just a pure student. Then he was dragged out and became the Lord of Jiangnan, and then he just lay in bed like this, so crazy. .”
Su Yonglin had a cold face and just shook his head.
"Find a few more doctors to see if he can be saved. If it is really hopeless, forget it. Record his case on record, and then give him a break and let him be relieved."
"knew."
Zhang Shi nodded, thinking that Zhao Dun didn't know whether he was lucky or not.
If he could still be saved, given his current status, he would have to do hard labor with his family friends until death. Now, although he is crazy and useless, he can be completely freed.
The blessing of misfortune?
Zhang Shi just sighed and didn't think about anything else.
He only knew that the Zhao and Song royal family, which had brought trouble to Jiangnan in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, was now at an end.
Su Yonglin completely liquidated the members of the Zhao and Song royal families. Hundreds of years of grievances and grievances came to an end. From then on, there was no longer a Zhao and Song royal family in the land of China.
