Please ask me to be the emperor

"General Wei, the dog officer has been chopped into pieces, chopped into fine pieces and fed to the dog!" Wei Zhiyou had just come out of the bedroom, and soldiers had already come forward to report.

"Okay, that's great!" Wei Zhiyou couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

He was originally a general under Li Zicheng, the "crossing general" of the Shaanxi rebel army, and he still maintained the brutal habits of the early rebels.

But of course, they didn't dare to kill innocent people and rob Jianyin, but they couldn't stop them from dealing with the people they hated in private.

For example, the magistrate of Yueyang County is a typical example.

Originally, Wei Zhiyou led 3,000 soldiers up Niqinshui River and passed through the old counties and towns where Song Tongyin, the former governor of Shanxi, "besieged" the rebels in the name of Zhao'an.

Most of these roads were traveled by Wei Zhiyou when he followed "The General" Li Zicheng and "Optimus Prime" Zhang Shun, so he was familiar with them.

He traveled three hundred miles over mountains and ridges, and after enduring a lot of hardships, he finally arrived in Yueyang County, where he ran into the magistrate of Yueyang County who resisted to the death.

Everything has an effect and a reason. The reason why Yueyang County is so well-prepared is precisely because Song Tongyin failed to "falsely claim Zhao'an" in Yueyang County, which shocked the Yueyang County Magistrate at the time.

As the saying goes: If you are not afraid of the thief, you are afraid that the thief will miss you. The magistrate of Yueyang County has no power and no one knows how many gifts he has given and how much love he has asked for, but he still cannot be transferred from this place.

In the end, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. From then on, he prepared all weapons and guns, and trained his men and archers day and night to prevent unexpected events.

Wei Zhiyou didn't know that there was a bar that "sharpened the knife day and night" here, and he suddenly hit the iron plate.

The rebels attacked for several days before capturing the Yueyang County town.

On the one hand, Wei Zhiyou could not commit massacre, looting or other acts of revenge, and on the other hand, he was afraid of Zhang Shun's punishment.

However, the rebel soldiers traveled over mountains and ridges and fought hard for days. How could they get rid of the bad breath in their chests?

In the end, he thought of a "mild" way, which was to order his soldiers to cut down the magistrate of Yueyang and then chop them into minced meat and feed them to the dogs to relieve the resentment in his chest.

Don't tell me, this trick works really well. Sure enough, after just one night, the soldiers became energetic.

Wei Zhiyou is not King Shun, so he doesn't care whether the Yueyang magistrate is unjust or not.

As long as you see the soldiers using their lives and their morale working, you will be satisfied.

Seeing that he had completed the mission of "surprise attack on Yueyang", Wei Zhiyou began to plan to send soldiers to the direction of Pingyang to explore the movements of the rebels, preparing to rest for two days and wait for new orders.

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

Just when Wei Zhiyou thought of King Shun's military order, a soldier suddenly ran in and reported: "General, King Shun's messenger has arrived."

"Hurry up and invite me!" Wei Zhiyou was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself: King Shun is really good at predicting things, and he can figure things out.

I just captured Yueyang County last night, and the military order arrived this morning.

Not long after, a few soldiers leading a few horses dripping with sweat saw Wei Zhiyou with trembling legs, and then handed over the letter.

Wei Zhiyou opened it and saw Zhang Shun's familiar handwriting.

"Come here, listen to the order. I order you to abandon Yueyang County, travel lightly and quickly, and go all out to march towards Huozhou immediately. Make no mistake!"

"If Huozhou cannot be conquered, then occupy key areas as soon as possible and wait for reinforcements; if Huozhou can be conquered, then try to occupy Huozhou City and await reinforcements."

"The Ming Army has a cavalry battalion, which will arrive in about two or three days. Please do whatever it takes to reach Huozhou before the Ming Army cavalry. March 18th."

Wei Zhiyou looked at the military order for a long time and couldn't help laughing.

"Why is the commander laughing?" Zuo Zuo was stunned when he heard this and asked curiously.

"Sure enough, King Shun still trusts me, but he has important and urgent military matters and he is still thinking of me, Old Wei!" Wei Zhiyou couldn't help but smile.

The military situation in Huozhou is urgent. King Shun has a cloud of fierce generals and a rain of advisers. He does not send any of them. Instead, he sends me, Wei Zhiyou.

Isn't this intention obvious? This is obviously King Shun who wants to cultivate someone from Wei!

When he took refuge with Zhang Shun, he was somewhat forced to do so.

Now that I see the rebel army is as powerful as a rainbow and as powerful as a broken bamboo, my heart naturally rises.

Judging from the situation of the generals of the Southern Route Army of the Rebel Army, how many of them had not just been promoted by King Shun?

The commander-in-chief of the Southern Route Army, Hong Chengchou, was demoted, the commander on the left, Li Xin, was a fugitive, and the commander on the right, Cao Bianjiao, was a general who had been demoted from the former Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention the other Li Fuchen, Zhao Lizi, Huang Chaoxuan, Zhang Xianbi and others, who was not cultivated and promoted by King Shun?

Now it is difficult for Wei Zhiyou to travel 110 miles to seize Huozhou. How can he show Wei Zhiyou's methods?

He couldn't help but give an order loudly: "Send the order to the entire army to bring five days' worth of food, armor and equipment."

"There is no need to bring any other bulky baggage items with you. Follow me and set off in half an hour to attack Huozhou City!"

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help but said worriedly, "Not to mention that the soldiers traveled over mountains and ridges and fought hard for days."

"If I only carry five days' worth of food, I won't have anything to eat in Huozhou, but what should I do?"

"I'm so afraid of a bird! I'm not even worried about being the leader of a battalion, why would you, a little soldier, worry about this!" Wei Zhiyou couldn't help scolding him.

"A living person can suffocate his urine to death. If we really have nothing to eat, can't we capture Huozhou and seize the official position?"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this. You are the commander-in-chief and you have the final say. If you really make us hungry, don't blame us for mutiny.

Everyone then abandoned their baggage and other clumsy household items and followed Wei Zhiyou all the way to Huozhou City.

Not to mention how Wei Zhiyou and others rushed to attack, but Pingyang Fucheng had just been occupied by the rebels, but order was restored.

The people of Pingyang got up early the next morning and went shopping as usual. However, they happened to see a notice posted at the market entrance and a group of people gathered around to read the notice.

Everyone couldn't help but be curious, and couldn't help but gathered around. They only heard someone read: "Hereby is Lei Chong, the former magistrate of Jiangzhou. He is a loyal man, has meritorious service in governing, and often donates his salary to help the victims. He can be called a 'parent official'." also."

"Now King Shun wants to make him the prefect of Pingyang. I hope he will continue his efforts and benefit the country as an official."

"However, there is a concern that people will be blind and deaf. Therefore, we will publicize it for three days to listen to the voices of the people. If anyone has any objections to this, please inform the government within three days. We hereby publicize it."

"Oh, Lei Zhizhou has been promoted! I just said he is a good official. You see, even King Shun thinks so!" As soon as the sound of reciting the notice ended, someone started talking.

"Hey, you know people but don't know their hearts. You'd better wait to say this. Don't you see that even King Shun wants to listen to the opinions of our people?" Someone also retorted after hearing this.

"If I say, if anyone has his pigtails, tell the government immediately, it is better than letting a corrupt official take office..."

"Don't talk nonsense. How could Lei Zhizhou be that kind of person?" After hearing this, the others were a little unhappy and began to retort.

Not to mention how the common people in Shengdou talked about it, it was already heard by the scholars in Pingyang Mansion.

"What? Lei Chong was promoted to Pingyang Magistrate!" Many people were shocked when they heard this.

Who is Lei Chong?

Neither his writing knowledge nor his moral talents (personal connections) are outstanding.

If there are no accidents, the magistrate of Jiangzhou is the highest official position he can achieve in his life. How can he be promoted to the magistrate of Pingyang?

"No, I'm going to tell the government office that we cannot let such a lucky villain take an important position..." Someone had already started to yell.

"Wait, wait, in what capacity are you going? The Ming Dynasty Juzi? Or the Ming Pingyang Mansion Tongpan?"

Pingyang Mansion is the largest government in Shanxi, and the second largest tax payer in the country. How can this position not make people jealous?

As soon as they heard that "King Shun" was preparing to appoint the original "villain" Lei Chong as the prefect, many people couldn't sit still.

Originally, they were sitting at home, waiting for the "thieves" to be polite to the corporal, and scolding the "thieves and bandits" a few times to gain fame.

I never thought that I would continue to do this, and all the important positions would be taken away by those spineless "second ministers".

It is tolerable, but what is unbearable!

The country has been supporting scholars for a century, and the Day of Death for Righteousness is today!

It's time to uphold justice, clean up the filth, and let His Highness King Shun know who is the real gentleman, who is the real villain, who is the real virtuous minister, and who is the real treacherous man!
