Please ask me to be the emperor

Not to mention how Zhang Sanbai, Cao Wenzhao and others dealt with Azig and his remnants, but after Zhang Shun defeated "Rao Yubeile" Abatai that day, he only surrendered Hou Jin among the troops, which was "a heinous crime." All the offenders were put to death and a "Beijing Temple" was built to deter the unruly people.

He also asked Ilgunjuro Ashan to select one or two thousand soldiers who were sincerely surrendering, and gathered together a battalion for him, which was named "Shunyi Camp".

Then, Zhu Xieyuan, the former Zuozhu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fengyi, the governor of Xuanda, Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, Wang Shiren, the general of Datong, and Li Guoliang, the general of Xuanfu, were brought under his command, and six battalions were organized according to the standards of the rebel army.

Which six battalions of men and horses?

They are the six battalions of Yang Zhuguo, Li Fuming, Luo Xiangqian, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and Wang Jinyi.

Among them, Yang Zhuguo, the deputy commander-in-chief, helped Wang Qingzhi "seize power" and was awarded the title of general and the title of marquis. The deputy commander-in-chief Li Fuming and the general of Zhu Xie's Yuanbiao camp Luo Xiangqian were both granted the title of commander-in-chief and the title of earl.

Due to the absence of Ye Tinggui, Wang Shiren and Li Guoliang, the officers and soldiers surrendered without a commander.

Zhang Shun also promoted two Shenshu battalion staff officers, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji, who had performed relatively well in the battle with the rebels, to be generals of the generals, commanding a battalion of troops respectively.

In addition to these five people, there were still 3,000 people who had no one to lead them. Zhang sent Wang Jinyi beside him to form a new battalion.

All in all, Zhang Shun led the 14th Battalion of 48,000 old and new troops to the north.

Among the fourteen battalions, there are Zhang Fengyi, Wei Zhiyou, Xu Quan, Yang Chengzu, Lu Xiangjin, Luo Shangwen and others from the six battalions of Zhang Shun, with 24,000 men. There are 18,000 soldiers from the six battalions newly surrendered by the Ming army. Thousands of people, plus the two battalions of Gao Qiqian and Ashan and others.

After some dazzling operations by Zhang Shun, these people were actually included under Zhang Shun's command.

Going all the way north in this way, the rebels crossed Shiling Pass and arrived in Xinzhou after two days.

"General" Li Zicheng was frightened when he saw Zhang Shun leading the army in person. He quickly led military advisor Song Xiance, nephew Li Guo, Fatty Zhang, Ji Longfeng and others to visit him.

When Li Zicheng, Song Xiance and others who had not seen him for a long time appeared in front of him, Zhang Shun could not help but feel that he had not seen them for a long time.

He and Li Zicheng had not seen each other for only a few months, and Song Xiance and Ji Longfeng had just been separated for more than a month. However, a life-and-death battle outside Taiyuan City made Zhang Shun feel as if he was in another world.

After everyone had seen it, Zhang Shun smiled and patted Li Zicheng on the shoulder and said, "Well done, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to capture Abatai and the others so quickly."

"The duty of a humble minister!" Li Zicheng was a little excited when he was praised by Zhang Shun, but he was always clumsy and didn't know how to express it, so he had to respond dryly.

"You're stupid!" Zhang Shun nodded at him with his hand, but then continued, "But you are a real person who does things!"

Li Zicheng grinned when he heard this and said nothing. Song Xiance beside him was so anxious that he wanted to step forward and kick him.

"Okay, no more gossiping!" Zhang Shun, who had always been a talker, felt bored when he encountered this boring gourd, so he had to cut through the mess with a quick knife.

"I promised you the title of king before, but now I am only the king of Qin. How can I be qualified to grant you the title?"

"However, this time, Qin Bei Dao and his troops cut off the northward path of the Hou Jin and Ming armies. They have made great contributions and cannot be ignored."

"I heard that the hometown of 'Chuang Jiang' is the hometown of Xixia, and he has an old relationship with the leader of the Xia Kingdom. In this case, I will make you the Marquis of Xia!"

"Thank you His Highness King Shun Qin for your grace!" Zhang Shun's words shocked everyone, and Li Zicheng was even more excited and thanked him repeatedly.

It turns out that there were roughly two types of marquises in this era, one was named by a fief, and the other was named by a beauty.

Zhang Shun conferred the title of Xiahou to Li Zicheng. He was obviously named Xia County, Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi. At the same time, he also took into account the issue of Li Zicheng's background. It could be said that he killed two birds with one stone, so he was very happy.

Of course, now that it was time to use troops, Zhang Shun could not hold a grand medal ceremony for Li Zicheng, let alone calculate the food for him.

But after all, this was Zhang Shun's political attitude, which temporarily calmed everyone's hearts.

Why?

Confucius said: Don’t worry about being few but worrying about inequality; don’t worry about being poor but worrying about insecurity.

Since the rebel army brought out titles such as one king, three princes, and five marquises to win over the two towns of Xuanda and Da, the generals under Zhang Shun's command were inevitably dissatisfied because of their merits.

You said that it would be fine if you offered the position of prince to win over people's hearts. However, it turned out that Ye Tinggui, Zhang Weishi, Wang Shiren, Li Guoliang and others could suddenly become princes without any great achievements. How can people be convinced?

However, today Zhang Shun publicly acknowledged his original promise to "be crowned king" and personally crowned Li Zicheng Xiahou, which naturally means that "one of his own" will inevitably be promoted to a higher rank in the future.

"Hey, you said that in the future, all the 'King Chuang' will be crowned kings, so can we also be viscounts and barons in the future?" Everyone couldn't help but whisper.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shun began to whisper and whisper to each other. He couldn't help but take advantage of the fire and promised loudly: "Everyone, please don't make noise, but if you have merit, no matter whether you are high or low, male or female, old or young, I will not hesitate to be a high official, a generous salary, a title, a house, or a house." "

"Okay, okay!" Everyone couldn't help being stunned when they heard this, and they all cheered.

Since Zhang Shun started his army, he has always kept his word and has a good reputation.

He took the opportunity to preach again, which immediately caused all the soldiers to scream, wishing that an enemy would pop out and be chopped up by him.

Zhang Shun saw that his morale was ready, so he sat down and said to Li Zicheng and Song Xiance: "There are many elite soldiers and generals in the two towns of Xuanda, which is related to the safety of the world."

"Now that I have defeated Azig and killed Abatai, Wanyan Yechen and others, Ye Tinggui, the governor of Datong, can uphold his righteousness and join me."

"Only Zhang Weishi, the governor of Xuanfu, was hesitant and was looked down upon by the Eastern captives."

"Fu Hong Tai is an outstanding person, and he is worthy of being my rival!"

"If the Xuanfu gains a foundation for it, I'm afraid it won't be beneficial to the rebel army's plan."

"I would like to personally lead the Qingqi under the command of 'General Chuang' and rush towards the Xuan Mansion. What do you think?"

It turns out that Datong is 670 miles away from Taiyuan and 430 miles away from Xuanfu.

Although Zhang Shun has already traveled a hundred miles to Xinzhou, he is still 570 miles away from Datong, and even more than a thousand miles away from Xuanfu.

If he led a large army there, he would not be able to arrive in twenty days, so he decided to use Li Zicheng's cavalry to get to the front line as soon as possible.

"This..." Li Zicheng hesitated upon hearing this.

This was not because Li Zicheng was reluctant to leave his three battalions of cavalry, but because Zhang Shun, as the leader of one party, took such risks.

If anything happens, he really can't bear the responsibility.

Song Xiance could see Li Zicheng's embarrassment, and couldn't help but help him out quickly: "What did King Shun say? Not to mention these three battalions of cavalry, which are ten and eight battalions, but as long as His Highness opens his mouth, there is no reason not to disobey him. "

"It's just...it's just that as the leader of the three armies, King Shun has to do everything personally, but it is not a blessing for the three armies."

"How do you say this?" Zhang Shun was stunned when he heard this. Originally, he planned to let Li Zicheng lead the main force behind, and he rushed to the Xuan Mansion in advance to see the opportunity and act accordingly, but he never thought that Song Xiance would help Li Zicheng to speak.

"His Royal Highness King Shun has taken all the credit for this. How can we be promoted to officials, nobles, marquises and prime ministers?" Song Xiance couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Shun is not a dull person. After Song Xiance's interference, he immediately realized Li Zicheng's embarrassment.

I had just awarded him a reward. If he rejected me in front of everyone, he would look ignorant.

But if you ask him to agree with you, but it is not in line with his personality, you will be in a dilemma for a while.

The reason why Song Xiance "speaks for him" is also very simple, mainly because he is worried about his own safety.

To be more specific:

One is worried that Li Zicheng and his men will rebel and endanger their own safety.

One is worried that if the Hou Jin soldiers and horses are strong, if they encounter the "White Deng" incident, the big thing will be over.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun also realized that his brain was overheated just now and needed to cool down.

He couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I will appoint this person to Xiahou and Mr. Song. I will personally lead the army to hold the battle for you. I wish you immediate success!"

Since the previous battle has come to an end, the author summarized the changes in the protagonist's strength, which delayed a lot of time. There is only one update today, please forgive me.
