Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1020 Sweeping Down

Since Ding Qirui surrendered and Ningxia City was occupied by the rebels, Ningxia Town naturally fell under the control of the rebels.

But now there are more than 10,000 Ningxia town main force outside the city returning along Weizhou Qunmu Qianhu Station and Lingzhou Guard Qianhu Station. If not handled properly, another war will be inevitable.

After hearing this, Ding Qirui couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for help and said: "The commander of the people fighting here is Zu Dabi, the chief military officer of Ningxia, and the deputy general is Fumin, the deputy chief military officer."

"Now in Ningxia City, all the governors, envoys, and ministers who guard the city are dead. Only Chen Wu is the deputy envoy, who has some prestige."

"I wanted to surrender this man alone, so that King Shun could gain more than 10,000 elite soldiers in vain!"

"This must not be done!" As soon as Ding Qirui finished speaking, Wang Shiqin stepped forward to stop him.

"This person is new and doesn't know how loyal he is. If he takes advantage of the opportunity and leaves, he will be letting the tiger go back to the mountain!"

"I also know that Guan Fumin is the son of the former Yansui Commander-in-Chief Military Officer Guan Bingzhong, and we have some contact with him on weekdays."

"If a virtuous son-in-law can trust me, I would rather surrender to him alone than to treat others as such."

Good guy, this relationship belongs to your family in Yulin!

Zhang Shun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Yulin General's influence would be so terrifying.

Any general who showed up would be able to frighten Yulin's general into getting in touch with him.

However, the father-son generals like Guan Bingzhong and Guan Fumin cannot be ranked among the generals, which shows how strong the foundations of these seven general families are.

How did Zhang Shun know that his cheap father-in-law's family was historically known as the "Twenty-Four Yuan Rong of Three Generations" family, with a total of twenty-four generals appearing around the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In Yulin as a whole, there were more than 160 generals and deputy generals in the Ming Dynasty.

Especially when Ningxia was in ruins and Xining's generals were in decline, the Yansui generals played a decisive role in the three sides and four towns.

Of course, Zhang Shun did not know the historical results of these later studies, but he had already felt the ubiquitous influence of Yulin Jiangmen based on his intuition.

While he was delighted that "his wife was not taken for free", he was naturally a little wary of the generals from Yulin.

So, Zhang smiled and said: "My father-in-law is too worried. This Ding Gong is an old Taoist priest and a member of our hometown party. How can he lie to me?"

"What's more, it's human nature for him to be eager to make meritorious deeds when he has just joined this king's command!"

"Well, I'll let you go this time, and I won't bother my father-in-law again next time I get the chance!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" When Wang Shiqin saw that his son-in-law had said this, he couldn't help but retreat in dismay.

Ding Qirui was so excited when he heard this that he couldn't help but hurriedly worshiped: "With the King of Qin trusting me so much, I will not hesitate even to the death. I am sure that the official and the people will come to vote for me!"

"Hey, look at my brain!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but slap his forehead when he heard this, and said angrily, "I really let Ding Gong go it alone. If I get hurt by others, wouldn't I regret it too much?"

"Let's do this, General Zuo. Could you please select a dozen elite men to escort Mr. Ding?"

What's wrong with this?

Zuo Guang first looked at Zhang Shun's eyes and immediately understood.

He couldn't help but hurriedly bowed and said: "Please rest assured, King Shun of Qin, even if the general has a breath, he will definitely protect Duke Ding!"

"This is General Lao Zuo!" Ding Qirui couldn't help but look complicated after hearing this, and quickly thanked Zhang Shun and Zuo Guangxian.

It turns out that despite what Zhang Shun said, he actually sent Zuo Guang to go ahead.

Firstly, it was to supervise Ding Qirui. If he had any objections, he would be killed on the spot.

Secondly, it was to help Ding Qirui. Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, had a great reputation and had great influence on the generals from Yulin.

By sending him there, even if Ding Qirui is willing but unable, Zuo Guangxian can help.

Ding Qirui is a veteran in officialdom, and he is so shrewd that he immediately understood the meaning.

However, even if he knew Zhang Shun's thoughts, what could he do?

Not only did Ding Qirui not have the slightest feeling of resentment, but he was also somewhat grateful and admired for Zhang Shun.

Because he has already seen that there are many people under the command of the King of Qin who are friendly to the officials and the people. Maybe Zhang Shun can attract the officials and the people to surrender with just one letter.

Zhang Shun even rejected his father-in-law Wang Shiqin this time, just to give himself a piece of credit for nothing.

And just in case, he even sent Chief Military Officer Zuo Guangxian to help him, so why should he be dissatisfied?

For Zuo Guangxian, being sent by Zhang Shun to take on this kind of supervision and assistance task clearly meant that he regarded himself as a "family member". It was a sign of the King of Qin's trust in him, and he suddenly felt much closer to Zhang Shun.

Not long after, Ding Qirui and Zuo Guang led more than ten riders to the waiting place. Zhang Shun saw that his father-in-law Wang Shiqin was still sulking there.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "My father-in-law is not going to serve as an official with me, so why bother competing with others for credit?"

Wang Shiqin was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that many members of the Wang clan served as staff generals, deputy commander-in-chief and other positions in the Ming Dynasty, but he was so excited that he forgot about it for a while.

He couldn't help but became angry and said: "I strive for credit for my own girl, isn't it okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Shun responded with a smile, and then explained, "It's just that in this kind of lone hero thing, it's better for my father-in-law to be less involved."

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of what may happen. If I hurt my father-in-law, I will never forgive him!"

"As for my wife's meritorious service, I will do it myself, my father-in-law should not worry about it!"

"What's wrong with this?" Wang Shiqin was a little confused after hearing Zhang Shun's last words.

It only took a moment for him to suddenly understand, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, that's good, then I'll trouble you!"

After saying that, he walked away.

"What's bothering you? Why is my dad so angry and laughing at times?" Wang Qiying was confused and asked strangely.

"Anyway, it's a good thing. Madam, just wait. What are you doing with all those things?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing, his expression became strange.

After three or two days of this, as expected, Ding Qirui and Zuo Guangxian had said that the deputy chief military officer Fumin would lead more than ten thousand elite troops to surrender.

Zhang Shunsui stayed behind in Zuo Guangxian to serve as the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, left Ding Qirui to recruit the remaining garrison guards of Ningxia cities and forts, and ordered Lu Xiangsheng to come to Ningxia to serve as the garrison general.

But he led 15,000 people including Gao Guiying, Wang Qiying, Yu Chongxiao, Li Zicheng, Zhang Tianlin, Guan Fumin and others to attack Guyuan.

This Guyuan town is also called Shaanxi town. Its chief military officer was Zuo Guangxian who had fought against Zhang Shun for a long time and finally had to join the rebel army.

Now that Zuo Guang left first, Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, was killed by the rebels again. Only Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi who knew no soldiers, was in charge in Guyuan City.

This guy was worried day and night that the rebels would attack Guyuan, so he had already dispatched Zheng Chongjian, a well-known right political advisor from Shaanxi Province, to lead troops to guard Huanglong's "Three Shaking Huangs" in Pingliang.

Unexpectedly, the rebels circled around the world and suddenly came out from behind.

Gan Xuekuo was caught off guard and was easily captured by Zhang Shun.

Gan Xuekuo, the governor of Shaanxi Province, was unwilling to be humiliated, so he took a group of guarding eunuchs and set themselves on fire in the mansion.

By the time Zhang Shun ordered his people to extinguish the fire, all the people had been burned beyond recognition. How could they be saved?

After the rebels took control of Guyuan, Zhang Shun sent Hong Chengchou to recruit Zheng Chongjian and Zhang Daochang to Lintao Prefecture to recruit his brother Zhang Quanchang.

Not long after, Zheng Chongjian and Zhang Quanchang saw that the situation was over and surrendered one after another.

At this time, another good news came from Gansu.

Tang Daoheng, the governor of Gansu, had no soldiers or generals. After scolding "Ge Lin for surrendering to a thief", he committed suicide.

Zhang Yingchen, the former governor of Gansu, took Tang Daoheng's head as a sign to the generals, so the Xining Guard, Zhuanglang Guard, Liangzhou, Yongchang, Shandan, Ganzhou, Suzhou and Zhenfan Guards descended one after another.

At this point, all three towns and four towns in Shaanxi, except Hanzhong Prefecture south of the Qinling Mountains, were all under Zhang Shun's rule.

In a battle, the Ming Dynasty mobilized 200,000 elite troops to try to annihilate the rebels, but Zhang Shun attacked first and defeated them in consecutive battles.

Not only did it completely defeat the encirclement and suppression by the officers and soldiers, but it also cut off "an arm" of the Ming Dynasty, and then took it as its own and looked down upon the world!

Sorry everyone, since the fourth volume is finished and the fifth volume needs to be sorted out, the updates may be slower recently, please forgive me!
