Please ask me to be the emperor

"What, Tieshan is lost!" Zhang Shun was shocked when he heard this from the envoy from Dongjiang Town.

Tieshan and Xuanzhou are separated from Pi Island and Shenmi Island by only one water.

If Tieshan is lost, Xuanzhou will not survive for long.

Once Tieshan and Xuanzhou are both lost, Pi Island and Shenmi Island will hang alone on the sea, almost becoming a dead end.

"North Korea suddenly surrendered completely to the Tatars. The North Korean navy was in danger of cutting off our army's retreat, so it had to retreat..." The envoy from Dongjiang Town argued with some lack of confidence.

"How many warships, troops and horses did the North Korean navy send this time? How many warships and troops did Hou Jin send? How long can you hold on?"

What happened has happened, and now is not the time to hold people accountable. Therefore, Zhang Shun avoided talking about it and directly asked the key points.

"North Korea sent more than 50 large and small warships this time, with about 5,000 gunmen." The envoy quickly replied after hearing this.

"The Tatars sent about 10,000 soldiers and basically no warships."

"We...we can hold on for three months at most, and we may not even be able to hold on for three months..."

"Okay, I understand, you can go down now!" Zhang Shun's face darkened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but issue an order to expel the guests.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't do this, you can't do this! There are more than 60,000 people in Dongjiang Town, waiting for your help..." The envoy was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but fell to the ground and begged bitterly.

"Who said that I don't plan to send troops?" Zhang Shun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his unhappy expression would misunderstand him.

"Then...then you agreed?" The messenger was stunned when he heard this, and then said happily.

"This matter is serious and requires long-term planning. You can go back and wait for the letter!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard this, neither saying he agreed nor saying he didn't agree.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait quietly for your highness's good news!" When the envoy heard this, although he couldn't hide his disappointment, he still saluted Zhang Shun.

"Your Highness, things are not easy to handle!" As soon as the envoy left, before Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu Sinu could say anything, the red lady came out worriedly.

"Really, isn't it difficult to handle?" Zhang Shun chuckled and further explained, "North Korea alone has dispatched more than fifty warships. Although it may not be as sharp as our warships, it is still a troublesome matter. "

The so-called navy of the rebels today is actually basically the weak Tianjin navy.

Except for the Fengzhou warship that is being renovated and the new bird ship that is being built, there are actually only one Fu ship, eleven Haicang ships, and twenty-one Cangshan ships, for a total of thirty-three warships.

However, not all of these thirty-three warships can attack, at least half must be left to defend the disabled Denglai Navy.

This Denglai navy was specially designed to target Houjin. At its peak, it had "more than 1,350 ships".

Even after the Denglai Rebellion, the Denglai Navy suffered a lot of losses, which is probably not something that his small Tianjin Navy can do.

Now that the rebel army's construction in Dagukou is beginning to take shape, if we don't take precautions early and are destroyed by it, wouldn't all the hard work be in vain?

Therefore, Hou Jin's use of force against Dongjiang Town at this time indeed posed a problem for the rebels.

"Oh? Seeing what His Highness said, could it be that he is confident?" Lady Hong looked at Zhang Shun in surprise and couldn't help but ask.

"The one who knows me is a lady!" Zhang Shun chuckled, acquiescing to the red lady's words.

"Then your Highness must be preparing to assist Dongjiang, but where did this boat come from?" The Red Lady couldn't help but asked curiously, "Does His Highness still want to take risks?"

"Take risks?" Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile, "What status does my king have now? How can I be the same as when he raised an army?"

"Just keep your heart in your stomach, this time you are 100% sure, there is absolutely no risk!"

"Come here, draft a military order for me, order Zhang Sanbai to supervise the troops and horses in Liaodong, and mobilize 40,000 troops to capture Guangning!"

What? Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

It turns out that Guangning, also known as Guangning Guard, was originally governed by the Guangning Prefecture of the Jin Kingdom. Later, the Ming court established Guangning Guard here, and the Liaodong General Military Headquarters was located here to control Mongolia's military suppression of the Jurchens.

It borders Yizhou to the east, Jinzhou to the south, Mongolia to the north, and faces Shenyang across Liaoze to the east.

If the rebels could seize this place, they would not only be able to cut off some of the connections between Houjin and Mongolia, but also be able to cover the three roads of Lulong, Pinggang and Gubei, and reduce the military pressure on Datong and Jisan Town in Xuanfu.

It's autumn now. If this place is captured by the rebels, it will be freezing in winter and Liaoze will freeze, and it may even threaten Shenyang.

"Your Highness, are you saying, 'You hit yours, I'll hit mine'?" Lady Hong was startled, and suddenly remembered what Zhang Shun had said back then.

"Yes, it's 'you beat yours, I'll beat mine'!" Zhang Shun laughed, "Who stipulates that aiding Dongjiang means that we have to go to Dongjiang to fight the Tatars?"

"I want to see which one of Dongjiang and Guangning he wants, or whether he wants them both!"

"Okay, what a great idea!" The Red Lady couldn't help but smile, "No wonder Your Highness claims to be a sure winner!"

"What, you want to attack Guangning?" When Zhang Shun's military order came to Liaodong, Zu Dashou couldn't help but change his face.

"That's right, His Highness has given an order, ordering us to prepare for an attack as soon as possible!" Zhang Sanbai nodded, as if he thought this matter was normal.

"General, you don't know something. The Tatars are extremely ruthless." Zu Dashou couldn't help but feel anxious.

"How could I not know?" Zhang Sanbai sneered, "In a battle, I had 30,000 troops under my command, and I couldn't resist the Tatars' 50,000 troops, but they didn't do well!"

"Uh." Only then did Zu Dashou realize that the handsome young general in front of him was actually one of the "Five Tiger Generals" under Zhang Shun.

It turns out that scripts were popular in this era. Since Zhang Shun entered the capital, someone had already "classified" his generals.

Among them, Chen Changting, the "Er Guan Gong" who guards Shaanxi, is known as the leader of the Five Tigers; Xiao Qinhu, the "Xiao Zhang Fei" who guards Nanyang, ranks second; Li Zicheng, the "general" who has a certain degree of independence, is known as the "Jin Ma Chao", ranking Third; the older general Hong Chengchou is known as "Old Huang Zhong", ranking fourth, while the young Zhang Sanbai is known as "Zhao Zilong, loyal liver, righteousness and courage", ranking fifth.

Except for Chen Changting, Xiao Qinhu, who was in sole control, and Hong Chengchou, who led a separate force, only he and Li Zicheng accompanied Zhang Shun and the Tatars throughout the game. Therefore, it is natural for them to look down upon the Tatars.

Thinking of this, how could Zu Dashou dare to persuade him again?

He had no choice but to report back quickly: "Now there are fifty-three battalions in each castle in Liaodong Town, with a total of sixty-four thousand horses and foot soldiers."

"Excluding the soldiers who defended the city, there were sixteen thousand reinforcements capable of fighting. Among them, the former governor of Liaodong, Fang Yizao, took 5,000, but now there are only 11,000."

"That's enough!" When Zhang Sanbai heard this, he glanced at Hou Gongji, the commander-in-chief of Shan Hai who was standing next to him, and couldn't help but nodded.

"This time, my general has brought 30,000 troops, and there are also 20,000 troops stationed at Shanhaiguan. Together with the grain and grass allocated by His Highness a few days ago, it is completely enough to launch a battle to capture Guangning."

Zu Dashou originally wanted to persuade him again, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the Tatar town had suffered a big loss, with no reckoning of casualties.

If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury and take some credit, how can the new dynasty gain a foothold?

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since His Highness is preparing to use troops, and the general is also fully prepared, Zu should be prepared for everything!"
