Please ask me to be the emperor

"'Shun thief', 'Shun thief', do you really understand this 'ten thousand years' calamity'?" Right Commander Yang Sichang stood on the bow of the ship, frowning and murmuring to himself.

The geographical locations of the three prefectures of Hanoi, Huaiqing, Weihui and Changde, were so important that Yang Sichang, who was leading an army to fight for the first time, could not help but panic.

In order to rescue Zheng Fan as soon as possible this time, Yang Sichang ordered Wu Di, the governor of Henan, to form a formation outside the city to watch the "shun thieves", and at the same time led the crowd to cross the river from Huayuankou north of Zhengzhou to Yuanwu.

This Huayuankou became the Huayuankou in later generations. Chang Kaishen, the leader of the reactionaries, ordered the blowing up of the embankment here, causing the Yellow River to burst its embankments.

As a result, more than 10 to 20 million acres of fertile farmland were submerged, tens of millions of people were affected, as many as 890,000 people drowned and starved to death, and more than 3.9 million people were forced to leave their homes. It has also formed in 44 counties including Henan, Anhui, and Jiangsu. The "yellow flood area" formed by blood and tears.

Fortunately, nothing happened to Zhang Shun in this life, and Yang Sichang and others did not know that such a terrible situation would occur at Huayuankou.

"Superintendent, Yuanwu County has arrived!" While Yang Sichang was pondering, soldiers had already reported back.

"Why don't we go to Xinxiang? Let's go practice martial arts!" Yang Sichang had just given the order halfway, but he changed his mind.

Xinxiang County is located to the west of Weihui Mansion. If the officers and soldiers occupy this place, they can at least ensure the safety of Weihui Mansion and Zhangde Mansion.

But from now on, I am afraid that Huaiqing Mansion and Zheng Fan in the city will be lost to the "successful thieves".

After the "Shun thieves" occupied Huaiqing Mansion, they could not only advance eastward, but also go northward to Zelu and westward to Jiyuan and Yuanqu.

At the critical moment, Zuozhuguo Zhu Xieyuan's judgment rang out in Yang Sichang's mind: "If it were me, I could take advantage of the lack of military strength in the imperial court to launch a surprise attack on Shanxi."

"If you go to Shanxi, you will cut off the waist of the world. By then, although Beizhi, Henan, Shandong and Nanzhi are rich, what will happen?"

"Could it be that the thieves' purpose is really not in Henan or Beizhi, but in Shanxi?" Yang Sichang couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

Xiuwu County is to the east of Huaiqing Mansion. If Huaiqing Mansion is not lost and the officers and soldiers arrive in time, it will be enough to contain the thieves' attack.

Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, glanced at Yang Sichang, who was muttering to himself, and finally chose not to say a word.

Anyway, I am the governor of water transportation and the governor of Fengyang. If something goes wrong in Henan, it will be handled by the governor Yang Sichang and the governor of Henan Wu Gang. Why should I be thankless and make a fuss?

Yuanwu is hundreds of miles away from Xinxiang and Xiuwu. After Yang Sichang, Zhu Dadian and others landed, they quickly led their troops to double the route and arrived outside Xiuwu County in only one day and one night.

The governor Yang Sichang was exhausted from running all the way and was about to enter the city to rest.

Soldiers were dispatched from the outpost to report: "Supervisor, there are more than ten people in front of you who claim to be your old friends, but they keep asking to see you!"

"No, no!" Yang Sichang felt ridiculous when he heard this. He was from Huguang, and he had no relatives or friends working here. Where did he come from?

"Superintendent, he. He said that if you see this thing, you will know who it is." The soldier hesitated for a moment, took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it over.

"What?" Yang Sichang was stunned when he heard this, took it and took a look, his expression changed drastically.

"Where is he? Come here quickly. No, you lead the way and let the governor go to visit him in person!"

Zhu Dadian glanced sideways, but it wasn't that he looked ugly.

It turns out that this so-called jade pendant is actually a jade Huang.

Huang is a semi-jade-shaped jade with holes on both ends.

Of course, the most important thing is that in this era, few people wore jade Huangs alone. Instead, they were combined with jade pieces of different shapes such as jade henges, jade ingots, jade huangs, and jade punch teeth. They were pierced with colored threads and jade beads to form a string and hung. The waist and neck are called "group jade pendants".

When this thing is moved, the jade pieces touch each other, and the sound is clear and crisp. It cannot be worn by princes and nobles who are not involved in production.

And in this Xiuwu City, which princes and nobles have the time to inform the governor?

How did the soldier understand the key? But seeing Yang Sichang's fierce reaction, he was immediately shocked.

Originally, he saw that the jade pendant was beautifully carved and wanted to swallow it privately, but he was afraid of being discovered by the supervisor Yang Sichang, so he revealed the difference in his thoughts.

He never expected that this person would be worthy of Yang Sichang, Minister of War and Right Superintendent, to condescend to visit him.

"Supervisor, please come this way!" The soldier hurriedly led Yang Sichang forward in a panic.

Not long after, everyone rushed to the east gate of Xiuwu County.

Yang Sichang looked up and saw an imposing man standing there surrounded by people.

"I have met His Highness Prince Zheng!" Yang Sichang quickly took a few steps and came forward to pay his respects.

"Thank you, Inspector, for your hard work. No need to be polite!" Upon seeing this, King Zheng quickly helped Yang Sichang up, and the panic in his heart subsided.

"Your Highness, how is Huaiqing?" Yang Sichang asked anxiously.

"Alas!" King Zheng Zhu Zaixin couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "After hearing that the thieves occupied Meng County that day, the prefecture of Huaiqing sent soldiers to inform the governor, and at the same time recruited soldiers and strong men to defend the city."

"Unexpectedly, there was an internal agent hidden in the city. The city gate suddenly opened and the killer came in."

"How can the officers and soldiers be opponents? They were immediately beaten and retreated."

"Unfortunately, the governor of Huaiqing died in battle. Fortunately, I was able to escape from the north gate of Huaiqing City because my guards resisted desperately."

"It's okay, Your Highness, it's okay, it's okay!" Yang Sichang couldn't help but patted his chest and said with a little fear.

"If the city is lost, you can take it back. If the property is lost, you can ask the court for it. But the prince's wealth and life are more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold and should not be thrown away lightly."

"But. But my eldest son Zhu Yizhong is still trapped in the city. What can I do?" King Zheng cried out to Zhu Zaiyi.

No, you are lucky to have saved your life. Do you still want me to save His Highness the Crown Prince?

Regardless of his complaints, Yang Sichang had no choice but to ask: "I wonder how many thieves there are in Huaiqing Mansion, and how powerful are they?"

Then how did King Zheng and Zhu Zaixi know?

He just cried: "I only heard that the thieves were as fierce as wolves and tigers. I heard that they captured Meng County in the morning and captured Huaiqing City at noon."

"As for what's going on, we still need the Supervisor to send someone to investigate."

"Okay!" Supervisor Yang Sichang glanced at Zhu Dadian and couldn't help but order.

"Come here, send me scouts to investigate the enemy situation around Huaiqing Mansion. If there are any traces of thieves, report them to me as soon as possible."

"Others have deployed their defenses early, and they will go into Xiuwu City to repair some more!"

"This is Governor Yang, who are you?" Prince Zheng Zhu Zaixi couldn't help but wonder.

"Now the soldiers are doing double duty, the soldiers are tired, and the enemy's situation is unclear, how can they fight?" Yang Sichang couldn't help but explain.

He also knew that catching the thief by surprise while he was still on his feet was the best strategy.

But now the soldiers are marching in a hurry all night, and they are hungry and tired. How can they fight?

It's not too late to make plans until the scouts find out everything.
