Please ask me to be the emperor

"Zu Dashou, it's you!" As soon as Zu Dashou came out of the formation, he looked at him clearly and couldn't help being shocked.

It turns out that the coming general is none other than Shi Guozhu, one of the Guangning guards.

This Shi Guozhu is none other than the brother of Shi Tingzhu, Wu Zhen Chao Ha Gu Shan E Zhen of the Later Jin Dynasty.

It turns out that this Shitingzhu was originally a garrison in Guangning. There were two brothers on it, Shi Tianzhu and Shi Guozhu, both of whom were Qianzong of the Ming Army.

When the Ming army was defeated in Xipingbao, the three brothers, together with Sun Degong, made a big noise and shaken the morale of the army, so that the defenders collapsed, and Xiong Tingbi was "passed to the nine sides."

After Lao Nu was welcomed into the city by these people, he appointed Shi Tingzhu and Sun Degong as guerrilla officials and stationed them in Guangning and Yizhou respectively.

Soon, Tai Hong succeeded to the throne, but was hampered by Zhu Beile of the Later Jin Dynasty.

He then formed the "Wuzhenchaoha", a heavy force with artillery as the main firepower, using Han as the main body to divide the power of Baile under the Eight Banners.

The main body of this "Wuzhen Chaoha" group is based on Shi Tingzhu as the solid mountain Ezhen, and the Han soldiers in Guangning and Yizhou and the troops under Zu Dashou who surrendered in the Battle of Daling River as the main body.

Although it is said that not long ago, Mrs. Hong became wary of the growth of the Han army flag, and split the "Wuzhenchaoha" into left and right wings, with Shi Tingzhu as the left wing to consolidate the mountain and Ezhen, and Ma Guangyuan as the right wing to consolidate the mountain and Ezhen. .

However, only the change in Shi Tingzhu's official position does not mean that there have been major changes in the population, land, and troops under Shi Tingzhu's direct jurisdiction.

The original "Wuzhenchaoha" compiled thirty-eight oxen records, with more than 10,000 troops under its command.

After being split up by Hong Tai, Shi Tingzhu actually still had nearly 6,000 people under his jurisdiction.

Among them, there are twelve Niulu, about 3,500 people, who are directly controlled by the three brothers Shi Tingzhu, and the remaining 2,000 people are commanded by Sun Degong who is stationed in Yizhou.

The three Shi brothers and Sun Degong are of the same species, so whenever they encounter an attack by the Ming army, these two forces will act as horns to resist the Ming army.

Therefore, when brothers Shi Tingzhu received the news that Zu Dashou was coming to attack, their first reaction was to organize their troops and go out of the city to fight.

It's just that the three Shi brothers never expected that they would face the famous Liaodong General Soldier Zu Dashou in the first battle.

Maybe this Zu Dashou is too old, maybe this Zu Dashou is cunning and repetitive, maybe this Zu Dashou has problems of one kind or another, but no one can deny that this Zu Dashou was a very difficult opponent to deal with.

When Shi Guozhu saw his ancestor's birthday, his heart sank, and he suddenly had an unknown premonition in his heart.

Nazu Dashou led two battalions, rode up on his horse, pointed his riding whip at Shi Guozhu and said, "It turns out that this is an old friend in person. Can you come forward and play a few rounds with me, an old guy?"

When Shi Guozhu heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he shouted: "I would rather fight with wits than with strength!"

"Haha, you are so young, why are you still afraid of an old guy like me who is half dead?" Zu Dashou couldn't help but laugh.

Shi Guozhu was furious when he heard this, but he did not dare to speak back.

It turns out that although Zu Dashou was quite old, he also came from a fighting position and was famous in Liaodong for his good martial arts.

Although Shi Guozhu's martial arts skills were pretty good, how could he have the courage to fight for his life against Zu Dashou?

"In that case, let the children play with you!" Zu Dashou sneered and couldn't help but ordered, "That Mu Qi, you lead the Jiangyi Youying Camp to harass you!"

Following Zu Dashou's order, five hundred cavalry were immediately sent out to circle around Shi Guozhu's left wing.

It turned out that during this battle, Zu Dashou personally led two battalions under his command to surrender to the Yi camp.

These two Yi camps were the Mongolian elites recruited by Zu Dashou. They always followed him and served as his servants and bodyguards to a certain extent.

On the opposite side, Shi Guozhu only brought more than a thousand infantry and a small number of cavalry to the battle. How could he withstand the elite cavalry under Zu Dashou?

After a brief exchange between the two sides, Shi Guozhu judged that he could not withstand it. He couldn't help but make a decisive decision and quickly ordered: "Retreat, retreat to the city!"

When Zu Dashou saw that Shi Guozhu was about to leave, he quickly took the opportunity to cover up and kill him.

However, Shi Guozhu's infantry were closer to the city wall. Zu Dashou led his cavalry to kill a few people, and then turned back under the threat of artillery fire from the city.

"General, the last general has driven back the enemy soldiers. Unfortunately, the enemy generals fled too fast and were unable to kill them!" Zu Dashou said, presenting the heads he had just captured.

"Yeah, I got it!" Zhang Sanbai nodded after hearing this, but he was actually not satisfied with the result.

But now that the matter was over, there was no need to force it. He turned around and ordered: "Set up artillery and bombard the city!"

One door, two doors, three doors.

Following Zhang Sanbai's order, rows of artillery began to be set up in front of the formation.

The firepower of ten battalions and nearly a hundred "Hongyi Cannons". If you add in the "Qingtian General" and "Dart Gun" specially used to attack the city, there are a total of 120 artillery pieces. Now just look at Dezu Dashou’s eyelids twitched.

Luxurious, too luxurious!

How could Zu Dashou, who had been besieged several times by the Hou Jin Dynasty, not know the power of the Hongyi cannon?

He saw that although most of these rebel artillery pieces were smaller than ordinary Hongyi cannons, they could not hold up in large numbers.

A hundred gates, what kind of city can withstand this?

And just as Zu Dashou looked shocked, the three Shi brothers in the city couldn't help but change their expressions.

Especially Shi Tingzhu, as "Wuzhen Chaoha" Gushan Ezhen, knew the number of Houjin Hongyi cannons well.

As a result, after the battle of entering the pass, Hou Jin was defeated, and the "Sanshun King" and his forces were almost completely destroyed. Now only ten cannons are left in the hands of himself and Ma Guangyuan.

Originally, he thought that the five Hongyi cannons, the general, the second general, the French machine and dozens of small-caliber Western cannons in his hands were enough to resist Zu Dashou's tribe.

However, when he saw the dense artillery outside the city, he immediately knew that he was wrong.

The visitors were not the Ming army, but the "extremely cruel" "Shun thieves".

"Third brother, what should I do?" When the eldest brother Shi Tianzhu saw this posture, he couldn't help but ask Shi Tingzhu.

"Now is not the time!" Shi Tingzhu shook his head and couldn't help but remind him, "Brother, please note that no matter how good the weapon is, it depends on who uses it."

"The three of us brothers have been immersed in this way for decades, and we are where we are today."

"That 'Shun Thief' was just lucky enough to achieve such an achievement. When it comes to using cannons, even ten of them can't compete with one of my 'Wuzhen Chaoha'."

"Boom!" As soon as Shi Tingzhu finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, and then saw a virgin wall being shattered by a rebel cannonball.

"Third brother, what should I do?" While the eldest brother Shi Tianzhu looked horrified, the second brother Shi Guozhu couldn't help but ask the same thing again.

"Let's take a look at the situation again!" Shi Tingzhu hesitated and pointed at Zu Dashou outside the city, "Look at how majestic that guy was before, but now he's not begging for mercy in front of others?"

"My three brothers have managed to gain this wealth and become the 'local emperors' of Guangning. How can we treat others like dogs anymore?"

"Besides, Your Majesty will not sit idly by and ignore this. He will send a large army to help us for as long as half a month or as few as ten people. What should we be afraid of?"

Shi Tianzhu and Shi Guozhu were stunned when they heard this. They couldn't help but take a deep breath and immediately strengthened their determination to fight to the end.

It turned out that the three Shi brothers and Sun Degong and others, after joining the Hou Jin Dynasty, not only the soldiers under their command but also the people in the area were placed under their command.

These people are naturally slaves in front of Baile, but once they return to their base, they will become the "local emperors" of their base.

According to the parlance of the Warring States Period, they were "lords"; if according to the parlance of the Ming Dynasty, they were "chieftains".

These people are all human beings. Of course they know that once they surrender to the "rebels", the land and population will not be under their control, so they still have to fight to the end.

"It's just. How long can we last?" The eldest brother Shi Tianzhu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he was still uneasy in his heart.

It turns out that Guangning City is tall and strong, but since the old slaves took it over, they burned, killed, and looted, resulting in a sharp decline in the city's population.

Nowadays, there are only twelve cattle records compiled in such a large territory, and we can get a glimpse of the clues.

Naturally, these three brothers knew very little about what would happen if there were not enough manpower to guard the huge city.

"For now, we can only let Sun Degong send troops from Yizhou to attack Jinzhou!" After hearing the words, Shi Tingzhu pondered for a moment and couldn't help but make up his mind.

"We will send out soldiers tonight and give them lots of gold and silver. We must ask them to leave as soon as possible to relieve the pressure on us to defend the city!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" The eldest brother Shi Tianzhu hesitated after hearing this, and couldn't help but responded quickly.
