Chapter 362 Desperate Li Li
Li Li was completely desperate: "Surrender, surrender to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. I will let him deal with it. He will let him kill or cut him. He can't watch Annan be ruined like this."
Ye Yang and Jiang Xinlong took the more than a thousand killers and smoke to kill, and they rushed all the way back. Apart from cremating the bodies of the Ming soldiers who fell and took them away, they never thought of burying or cremating the bodies of the rebel soldiers.
A large number of corpses were thrown in the wild, coupled with the already humid and warm weather of Jiaozhi and the mosquitoes everywhere, the epidemic broke out suddenly without any precaution or concern.
Li Li had thought of throwing the corpses that died of the epidemic under the city of Ng'an. After all, there were many rebels, and there were also many Jiaozhi natives who died of malaria. It was easy to get a few such corpses.
However, what made Li Li feel desperate was that all the cities under the control of the Ming army in Jiaozhi had blocked all the city gates, and no matter how many corpses he had in his hands, they would be useless.
Thrown under the city?
As soon as the front foot was thrown away, the corpses were burned and they could not play a role in spreading the plague.
Thrown in the water?
The people had their own well in the city, and they threw the bodies into the water source in the wild. In the end, the local people in Jiaozhi were also the rebels who needed to get water and drink in the wild, which could not affect the Ming army and the Ming people in the city.
What made Lili even more desperate was that the rebels did not have many drugs in their hands, and there was no good way to treat malaria, and there was no way to find a few doctors in Jiaozhi...
In fact, if Leli went to Ng'an City or other cities controlled by the Ming army to take a look, Leli would probably explode in despair—
Zhu Laosi personally issued an order, requiring all officials in states, prefectures and counties to strictly follow the epidemic preparation manual issued by the Ministry of Revenue to lock down and isolate the city. The effect is naturally that the gods fart and extraordinary.
The epidemic caused by Ye Yang's stupidity was not spread to other cities at all. Since the epidemic was blocked and isolated before it began to spread, the final result was that except for Ye Yang and the one thousand killers, the entire Nian was not affected much.
After more than ten days passed, the epidemic in Ng An City had basically ended, but the epidemic in those places outside Ng An City that were not controlled by the Ming army became more and more intense.
Lili couldn't hold on any longer.
First, a Beijing Temple scared the Jiaozhi natives, so that the Jiaozhi natives centered on Ng An did not dare to have anything to do with the rebels anymore. There were no people who could inform them, and it became increasingly difficult to obtain supplies through the Jiaozhi natives.
However, Leli did not dare to rob the troops.
Although Lili's mind is not very smart, even if Lili's mind is stupid, he still knows the consequences of robbery by soldiers-
The reason why the rebels can still maintain a roaming situation with the Ming army is because the Ming army is not as familiar with the terrain of Jiaozhi. Once they robbed the troops, the now neutral Jiaozhi natives will completely turn to the Ming army, and even rush to lead the way for the Ming army to kill them.
It is precisely because of understanding this and the increasingly severe epidemic that Li Li had the idea of surrendering.
Surrender may lead to death, but the survival will be even bigger.
If you don’t surrender, you may live, but the death is even bigger.
However, Chen Yuanhan, Fan Wenqiao and others disagreed with Li Li's surrender.
For Chen Yuanhan, Fan Wenqiao and others, after Li Li surrendered, he might get a title like surrendered marquis and Hunhou, but he was dead.
Unless they kill Li Li first and then surrender to the Ming army, there is still a glimmer of hope.
It's just a glimmer of hope.
Instead of trying to fight for the glimmer of life, it is better to persuade Li Li to leave Annan. Whether it is to go to Chameng or go west to Myanmar, the final result will be countless times stronger than it is now.
After looking at each other with Fan Wenqiao, Chen Yuanhan bowed to Li Li and said, "Master, this epidemic was caused by the Ming army envoys going to Chameng City. At this time, surrender, how can the prince face the people of Annan?"
Fan Wenqiao also bowed and said, "The king thought about it three times. The people of Annan have been suffering and Ming for a long time. The king raised his arm and shouted, and the people of Annan are Jing Cong. Now that the king surrenders to Ming, where is the people of Annan?
Therefore, I think that instead of surrendering to Ming, the king would rather take this opportunity to go westward to Myanmar or go south to Jiaozhi, so as to avoid the misunderstanding of the king!”
Chen Yuanhan bowed and said, "I think the epidemic was originally caused by the Ming envoy going south to Chameng. Now I am heading to Chameng. I am afraid that the epidemic in Chameng is three points higher than Annan. Why not just take advantage of the time when the Ming army has no time to care about it and go west to Myanmar?"
After Chen Yuanhan finished speaking, the other ministers in the entire "Director" also started to discuss it in a slight manner.
Listening to the ministers in the hall beginning to argue whether to go west directly or kill Ailao Kingdom first and then go west to Myanmar, Chen Yuanhan and Fan Wenqiao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it is not instigating Li Li to surrender now, it doesn’t matter whether it is to kill Ailao and then go west to Myanmar or directly go west to Myanmar.
After being persuaded by the civil and military ministers in the hall, Li Li was also in a dilemma.
From the heart, Li Li wanted to surrender even more. As long as he surrendered the book, he had a sincere attitude and a more earnest words, he could at least get a title of surrendered to the marquis, and his wealth would be preserved.
But the attitude of these civil and military ministers in the hall made Li Li hesitate a little-
Once I am impatient to surrender now, will these people kill themselves first and then take their heads to surrender to the Ming army?
After thinking for a while, Li Li said with a gloomy face: "First attack Ailuo, then enter Myanmar."
Chen Yuanhan was immediately overjoyed and led the civil and military ministers in the "Big Hall" to bow to Li Li, "The King is wise!"
However, Li Li's face did not look good at all because of Chen Yuanhan and others' flattery: "Even if you want to go west to Myanmar, you still have to discuss how to solve the current epidemic.
I have read the report from you and others. Now there are two or three out of ten people in the army, and five or six out of ten people outside. If you just leave, what should those soldiers and people who are infected with the epidemic do?”
Chen Yuanhan lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, maybe it will do it."
After obtaining Li Li's permission, Chen Yuanhan carefully said: "Didn't the Ming army recruit our soldiers before? It is said that as long as you work hard on the construction site for ten years, you can be exempted from punishment.
In this case, the king could order the infected soldiers to surrender to the Ming army. If the Ming army accepts their surrender, they need to treat them, and they will naturally survive. The same is true for those infected people.
If the Ming army does not accept their surrender, they will naturally hate the Ming army even more. Leaving around the Ming army may pass the epidemic to the Ming army, which will kill two birds with one stone for the king?”
After Chen Yuanhan's instigation, Li Li really ordered the infected rebel soldiers and the people in southern Jiaozhi who were secretly involved in the rebels and the people who were disturbed by the rebels and the nearby cities to surrender to the Ming army.
The Ming army's actions also made Li Li, Chen Yuanhan and others fall below their glasses - accept all the orders!
Regardless of the rebel soldiers and the Jiaozhi people who went to surrender, the Ming army accepted them all and arranged them to be scattered and isolated outside the city. There was no scene where the Ming army refused to accept the surrender as Chen Yuanhan imagined.
Of course, the rebel soldiers and the people who surrendered naturally could not be treated like the Jiaozhi natives in Ng'an City who followed the Ming Dynasty with their hearts.
First, they were placed on the spot outside the city to isolate, and then the Ming soldiers with strict protection began to disinfect the resettlement site. Then a doctor began to diagnose and treat these people. They would not be completely cured or killed. Anyway, they were just dragging them down.
Then someone planned to sell Lili—
There is no difference between paying grain to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and paying grain to Lili. Anyway, they all paying grain. Moreover, these people found that after surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, the tax they had to pay was less than the tax they had to pay to Lili before!
What's more, at the critical moment of life and death, Li Li let his people run to the city controlled by the Ming army at the risk of being shot and killed by the Ming army, while Da Ming arranged doctors and medicines, which was equivalent to Da Ming giving him and his people a glimmer of life. So why can't Li Li be sold?
Even if you can't get a lot of wealth and glory, at least you can save your family from working as a laborer on the construction site?
But what disappointed these people was that the Ming Dynasty did not seem to have planned to clear Lili. Although all those who betrayed Lili were rewarded, all the Ming army was still unable to move, which made people a little confused.
Li Li didn't know that these people had planned to sell him. However, after arranging these people to surrender, Li Li had already taken the remaining soldiers who were not infected with the epidemic to go straight to Ailao Country.
...
Mr. Yuan Gen once said that ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. People who choose to embrace their ideals are often awakened by bones.
"I want to know what happened to this Ailao Country!"
Finally, I led 300,000 to the border of Ailao State, but found that there were large Ming flags on the city of Ailao State, as if this was not Ailao State at all, but the Ming city!
What Li Li couldn't understand even more was that there were not only one or two cities like this, but almost all the territory controlled by Ailao Kingdom had already raised the Ming banner!
