Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1004 Diehard loyalist

"Oh? I wonder what's going on with King Shun?" Hong Chengchou and Song Xiance asked quickly.

The two of them had a smooth colloquial manner. They were used to calling Zhang Shun and King Shun, and it also expressed their closeness to each other, so they were not used to changing their names to "King of Qin".

Zhang Shun has always been generous and generous, but he doesn't care much.

"I want to persuade everyone in Yulin Town to surrender. Is that okay?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but look at Hong Chengchou and said.

"This" Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and couldn't help but said, "I can only give this a try, and I can't guarantee how it will go!"

"Oh? How do you say this?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but wonder.

"Now Xi'an Prefecture is under my control, Gansu is completely empty, Lintao and Guyuan are ruined, and only the two towns of Ningxia and Yansui are intact."

"Now Ningxia Zhenzu Dabi and Guihua City Dorgon have left. There are no reinforcements coming from outside Yansui, and there is no long-lasting food and grass inside. If they refuse to surrender, what will happen?"

Hong Chengchou had served as the governor of Yansui, so he knew the place quite well. Hearing this, he responded: "If King Shun wants to recruit an official and a general, it will be easy, but if he wants to recruit Yulin, it will be difficult."

"The land of Yansui is located in northern Shaanxi. It has been a place for military use since ancient times. It has numerous famous generals and strong folk customs."

"Since the Ming Dynasty, Yansui Town has been established, under the jurisdiction of Yulin, Suide, Yan'an and Qingyang."

"At the beginning, he was famous for his heroes, and then he was famous for his generals. Veteran generals are distinguished from generation to generation."

"There are countless people who have been promoted to noble positions, and there are also countless descendants of Enyin. Among the four guards, Yulin is the leader."

"There are seven families among them, including Jiang, Wang, Du, You, Xiao and Zhang, who have been generals for generations. They are called the 'Seven Gates of Yulin'."

After hearing this, Zhang Shun counted on his fingers and couldn't help but wonder: "As we all know, there are five of the four heavenly kings. But why are there only six of the seven Yulin gates? Did Mr. Hong miss one family?"

"Because there are two general families of the Wang family. One is the family of Wang Bao and Wang Taishi, and the other is the family of Wang Wei and Wang Zhuguo. Therefore, there are seven families and six surnames in Yulin!" After hearing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but secretly complained that Zhang Shun was good at arithmetic. The key point was immediately grasped.

“These families are not only married for generations, but also stationed in various towns.”

"For example, the three generals of the You family, You Shigong, You Shiwei, and You Shilu, plus the tribe's six generals You Jixian, You Zhaiwen, and You Zhaiyuan."

"And the Zhang family also has three outstanding figures: Zhang Quanchang, Zhang Yingchang and Zhang Daochang."

"And Wang Zhuguo's family also has generals such as Wang Shiqin, Wang Shiguo, Wang Shilu, Wang Shiren, Wang Shixi, Wang Shixuan, Wang Shixian, Wang Hong, Wang Pu, etc.!"

Good guy, this Hong Chengchou was like a stand-up comedian. He rattled off the nine serving generals of the Wang family in one breath, leaving Zhang Shun speechless for a long time.

If the Yulin Wang family rebels, I'm afraid the whole world will be shocked by it, right?

Hong Chengchou talked for a long time, and then Zhang Shun came back to what he meant.

The generals of Yulin were distributed throughout the Ming Dynasty and served as generals. Countless people served as generals, deputy generals, and soldiers. They were more generous to their descendants and made them rich for generations. How could they be reduced because of their own small favors?

In fact, not to mention Zhang Shun, even if Li Zicheng swept through Shaanxi in history and the situation in Yulin was more dangerous than it is now, Yulin's generals have never been reduced to "chasing generals".

What virtue and ability does Zhang Shun have? He surrendered to the Yulin generals with empty words and white teeth?

"Let's do this!" Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "I will write a letter first and write it to Zhang Shenghai, governor of Yansui, to see what his attitude is first!"

"By the way, Zhao Guangyuan, the subordinate of King Shun, is also from Yulin. He should have some contacts with other generals and can also communicate privately."

"Okay!" It was almost better than nothing, but Zhang Shun didn't have a good idea, so he could only nodded helplessly.

It turns out that there are about 34,000 soldiers and horses in Yansui Town. Apart from the soldiers and horses scattered in Thirty-six Forts, Suide, Yan'an and other places, there are also 25,000.

Zuo Guangxian, the chief military officer of Shaanxi, also brought 5,000 defeated troops, and there were almost 30,000 defenders in the city.

And all the generals in Yulin are well versed in the art of war, and their elite servants number nearly a thousand, so it is really difficult to conquer in such a hurry.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh, and was already planning to be prepared.

If that doesn't work, we can only rely on the rebel army's superiority in troops and artillery to slowly wear it down!

"This" Song Xiance looked at Zhang Shun's frown and couldn't help but hesitated and suggested, "If King Shun can trust me, I would rather go to Yulin City and persuade King Shun to surrender this city without any bloodshed!"

"No, I can't believe it!" Zhang Shun waved his hand quickly and thought to himself: Good guy, what do you think this is what you, such a talkative guy, do?

The forces in Yulin City are intertwined, and almost all of them have military status. Everyone can go into battle to kill the enemy. Why are you sneaking in?

I'm afraid if someone doesn't recognize you as "the great master of the King of Qin" and then give you a "white knife goes in and a red knife comes out", you will lose your wealth and life in vain.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness King Shun!" What kind of person is Song Xiance, how could he not know that Zhang Shun is doing this for his own good?

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "His Royal Highness King Shun is overly worried. As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed."

"Pindao's wealth and life are not determined by his thoughts, but are actually determined by King Shun's powerful army and artillery."

"As long as King Shun is arrayed outside the city, even if it's a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, how can someone from the Song Dynasty not be able to break through?"

"As far as I can tell, the reason why Yulin Town refuses to surrender is simply that it is deeply entangled with the forces of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be separated."

"When I enter Yulin City, instead of revealing my powerful relationship, even if I can't surrender this city, I can at least escape unscathed!"

this? Can this be done?

If it weren't for you, I would still be working as a farmer in Zhangjiazhuang, Chenzhou. How could I have my status today?

Zhang Shun was grateful for Song Xiance's "enlightenment" in the past, but he didn't want him to go deep into the enemy's town and take such a strange risk.

After being persuaded hard, Song Xiance couldn't help but said anxiously: "Although the old Taoist has the ability to follow the dragon, in fact, it is just a talk."

"Now that I have been worshiped by King Shun for a long time, how can I convince the public if I don't do anything great but am on an equal footing with other people who have worked hard and made great achievements?"

"I'm leaving now, don't miss King Shun!"

"If he was killed by officers and soldiers, it was my destiny to have this disaster. King Shun just lost a magician. If I really said to surrender this city, it would be King Shun's destiny, and his achievements would be even higher. Please also King Shun, please don’t stop me!"

At this point, Zhang Shun had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Let's talk about it in two parts. Let's not talk about what's going on in the rebel camp. Let's talk about Yulin City being surrounded by the rebels and fighting hard for days. The city has already been enveloped in a tragic and inexplicable atmosphere.

"Shiqin, what's going on outside?" Wang Shiguo asked a little out of breath as he sat there.

His father was Wang Wei, the grand master of the Mingzhu Kingdom. He once "wear nine general seals and served as the governor for fifty years." His family was the most prominent among the generals in Yulin.

He himself also served as the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu and served as the prince's Shaobao, so he was loyal to state affairs and did not dare to slack off.

"Not good!" Wang Shiqin couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this. "The 'Shun Thieves' first occupied Zu Dabi, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, and then retreated to Dorgon, the leader of the Golden Banner. For a time, they were equally powerful."

"In addition, the artillery of their generation is sharp and can break rocks when they hit them. Now there is no food and grass in Yulin City, and there are no reinforcements outside. People in the city are panicked, and I am afraid that Yulin City will be difficult to defend!"

"We must defend even if it is difficult. We, the Wang family, have been loyal to the country for generations. We must not surrender to the Tatars because of our inferiority, so that our family will be humiliated!"

"Don't worry, brother!" Wang Shiqin nodded and said, "I have also served as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. How can I surrender to thieves?"

"Tomorrow I plan to continue to visit the generals and persuade them to spend their wealth to feed the warriors and personally lead their servants to ward off thieves and bandits."

The two brothers were discussing military affairs, and a servant could not help but report: "Report, there is a Taoist priest outside, who claims to be an old friend of the second general."

"I came here specifically to see the second general today. I wonder if the second general will see you or not?"

"See you, see you, what time is it now, how can I have the time to see an old friend?" Wang Shiqin couldn't help but waved his hands impatiently after hearing this, and asked his servants to send the visitor away.

"Forget it, forget it, you have such a bad temper!" Wang Shiguo couldn't help but shook his head after hearing this and said, "We can't solve the siege of Yulin even if we talk about it for half a day."

"Instead of that, why don't you see who this old friend is and take some time to relax!"
