Chapter 84: Thousands of sails across the gate, thousands of people landed in the lower capital

In the morning, hundreds of large and small warships of the Han army rushed to the port of Rostov and several beaches where they could land.

There are strong walls in the north, east and west of Rostov City, only in the south. In the south along the river is a prosperous port commercial area and an irrigated agricultural area. There is no need to build a wall, but it is also an obstacle. What is it for? He has never been attacked from the water. Even if there is a fierce battle with Yan Han now, Rostov's soldiers and civilians did not expect that the Han army would come from the water.

The Han army fleet rushed to the beach and released thousands of troops and horses. Before the ship stopped, General Beschu Yerkhev jumped off the shoal and landed first. Fubo General Fang Yuandu led a group of sailors to board, and Yang Lie General Long You led a group of warriors to board. The champion General He Pan, Dang Kou General Gan Basu, Wuwei General Lian Jun, Qiang Jingu General Xi Peacock... All of them were unwilling to lag behind and led the men and horses to board.

For a while, tens of thousands of Han soldiers were divided into more than a dozen roads! Rostov's whole city was in chaos. Grand Duke Constantine climbed up the tower of the palace and looked out. He felt that the end was coming and collapsed.

The Han army is making rapid progress. The two imperial historians, Fang Mianzhi and Fang Jianzhi, were all dressed in military uniforms and also took the troops to kill. Although both of them carry long knives and look majestic, in fact, force is not compared with real generals. Even so, what's the matter? There was no tenacious resistance in Rostov City. They didn't have to open the way by extraordinary force. They only met Grand Duke Constantine many times, familiar with the road, and quickly killed outside the palace.

Rostorf Palace is a city in the city, with towering fortresses and towers, which are very strong. Fang Mianzhi and Fang Jianzhi saw Constantine's lucky ministers look around and shouted at them in Latin: "Surrender without killing! There is a reward for early surrender!"

Most of the fortunate ministers are noble, cultivated and understand Latin. The soldiers can only speak Rusto and can't understand Latin. So after panicking for a while, the soldiers were ready to rise up to resist. Unexpectedly, the Grand Duke had listened to the advice of the lucky ministers and decided to surrender!

Grand Duke Constantine doesn't know how the front line is doing. I don't know that Umoski is still fighting, and that Ijonmsky and Zapolov are still fighting this way. All he knew was that the Han army had broken through the capital and reached the palace. Such a powerful Han army completely lost his will to resist. Hearing the lucky ministers say that "there is a reward for surrender without killing and early surrender", he quickly decided to take the lead in surrender.

Zhao Jin was on the ship, looking at the progress everywhere and issuing an order. Suddenly, a horse galloped and shouted on the shore: "Report! The long-haired prince has been captured!"

Zhao Yu was overjoyed: "Very good! Who captured it?"

The horse replied loudly: "The king is Fang Mianzhi and Fang Jianzhi!"

Zhao Yu listened left and right and looked at each other in con's eyes. They all thought that it must be the fierce general who captured the Grand Duke, but they didn't expect that the two civilian officials made a first contribution.

Zhao Jin led his own guard and galloped to the horse. Sure enough, he saw that Fang Mianzhi and Fang Jianzhi had taken the palace. Zhao Jin asked about the situation and ordered the soldiers to escort Constantine and his lucky ministers and surrender everywhere.

Ross's army was stunned by the raid and learned that the Grand Duke had surrendered first, and the remaining will to resist was gone, so they had to surrender one after another. The Han army occupied the whole city of Rostov in just a few hours.

It was not until the next afternoon that Ijonmsky's vanguard cavalry arrived outside the city, and the people were about to die. Zhao Jin ordered Constantine to shout at the top of the city and asked them to surrender. The cavalry were shocked and didn't expect to work hard to defend the Grand Duke, but they came to this result. Is it progress, retreat, or surrender? They are in a dilemma.

I didn't wait for them to figure it out, Zhao Jin made people wave the flag. Long You led the army out of the city and waited for a beautiful job. The Ross cavalry was so poor that they could not even escape, or die or surrender, and all of them were written off.

Two days later, Ijonmsky's main force finally arrived. Zhao Jin also ordered Constantine to shout to Ijonmsky to persuade him to surrender. Constantine followed his orders. Ijonmsky was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't know who he worked hard for. After thinking for a long time, Ijonmsky decided to surrender, but asked Zhao Jin to be kind to the Grand Duke. Zhao Jin praised his loyalty and agreed.

Anyway, Zhao Jin is about to treat Constantine well and want to set him as an example for the Sun Dynasty; but due to the 46 crimes on the previous list, it seems unreasonable to treat such a heinous person well? Now with the conditions put forward by Ijonmsky, Zhao Jin has a good reason to be kind.

So Zhao Jin announced that he would not only not kill Constantine, but also return a piece of land north of Rostov to him to preserve his monarch's status. I hope he will learn a lesson and stop abusing the people and deprive them of their basic right to life.

Constantine cried bitterly when he heard it. This is not a regrettable cry. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong in the past, but he was really moved to be able to save his life and continue to be a monarch. Of course, he also had a grievance and was very aggrieved that most of his territory was seized. But he understood that now was not the time to talk about conditions. Zhao Jin was unhappy and could take his head at any time.

Constantin cried bitterly and aggrievedly. Zhao Jin felt compassion and ordered to return all his wives and mistresses, including his previously captured sister Nastasia.

To be honest, Zhao Jin can treat Constantine. Looking at the result of the surrender of the faint kings and lucky ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty, as prisoners, their wives and daughters were all plundered. After the destruction of the Southern Song Dynasty, the tombs of emperors of all dynasties were excavated, and their bones were exposed unbearable. Empress Dowager Xie, who was in power, was awarded a false title for retirement, and all the concubines and concubines did not enter the Yuan court...

Han Zhaoyi and Qian Zhaoyuan around Zhao are the little palace girls of the Southern Song Dynasty who moved north to the Yuan court in 1276. When they were young, they witnessed the vicissitudes of the world and advised the king not to treat Constantine too well. Han Zhaoyi said, "If there is prosperity, there will be death. Why should the lord treat the emperor of the country too generously?" Qian Zhaoyuan echoed: "It's a complete blessing for that man to be a rich man. How can the lord return his territory?" Zhao Jin said, "You don't know anything. I have my own considerations. As long as I can quickly settle Rostov and make a 'crime' posture, I can get out of Eli and Haidu.

This trick is actually reasonable. Neighboring countries do not accept the annexation of Rostov by Yan Han, and it is inevitable to make trouble for Rostov's restoration in the future; this problem will no longer exist if Rostov continues to exist and become a vassal state of Yan Han.

A few days later, Zapolov learned that the Grand Duke had surrendered and had to lead the army to surrender. Only Umoski, because Zhao Yu hated him for killing Xiao Yu, did not plan to surrender. Zhao Jin ordered to launch a propaganda offensive to Umosky's troops: "Surrender to avoid death; those who can kill a dead chicken without ★ will be rewarded with 1,000 gold coins; those who can be caught alive will be rewarded twice."

Umosky was left with only a lonely army, and the Han army was besieged, and the internal army was shaken. No matter how capable he is, it is impossible to imagine by this time. So Umoski led several cronies at night, abandoned the army and fled, and did not know where to go.

The Han army surrendered Umosky's army, and Rostov's whole territory was basically settled. However, Zhao Jin is not the basic person of Umos. How can Zhao Jin be willing? That old man is very resourceful. If he works for the Grand Duchy of Kiev or other strong enemies, how can Yan Han feel at ease?
