Please ask me to be the emperor

Jinzhouwei is located at the southern end of the capital city of Liaodong, facing the sea on three sides. It is the hub of land and sea transportation on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Both in terms of population and grain output, they both ranked first among the Liaodong Dusi guards.

Therefore, although the "Huaishun King" Geng Zhongming was "enfeoffed" here by Mrs. Hong, and although he was repeatedly harassed by the Ming army and could not live in peace, he had no complaints.

It's just that due to a strange combination of circumstances, no one expected that the famous "King Huaishun" would never come back after entering the customs.

Some people said that he died and was torn into pieces by "shun thieves" and then was beaten into trouble by the Tartars.

Some people say that he surrendered, which led to Hong Tai's defeat and death, so his family was confiscated and exterminated by the new "emperor".

Some people say that after his defeat, he fled out of fear of crime, became a monk, and became a monk in Mount Wutai.

All kinds of rhetoric came out all of a sudden.

However, no matter how you say it, one message is clear: the Geng family is finished!

The Geng family's palace in Jinzhou City had already been looted by the new "Emperor" Duduo.

The men were beheaded, the women were sold, and the slaves were divided up. Now the huge palace is empty.

When Geng Zhongming went to war, he recruited almost all his men. Now Jinzhou City and nearby villages and towns are mostly old, weak, women and children.

These old and weak women and children have experienced too many killings and have long been numb to it.

If you don't kill me today, I will kill you tomorrow. When they are used to this kind of precarious life, of course they take it for granted.

The sun is about to set, but the city is still as lively as usual, and the fishing boats outside the city are also returning one after another, preparing to carry the day's harvest to fill the bellies of the families who are waiting for food.

More ships appeared on the sea, one by one approaching the shore.

The person with good intentions couldn't help but lean in, ready to ask about the other person's harvest.

However, before they could open their mouths, they suddenly discovered that the people on the boat were not fishermen, but "thieves" holding sharp blades.

"Pirates, pirates are coming...ah!" The man couldn't help but exclaimed, but the cry was only half-sent, but it ended abruptly.

"Pirates? Run quickly and notify the guards!" It didn't matter. The sea and shore immediately became a mess, shouting and yelling everywhere, mixed with the sounds of chickens and dogs and the crying of children.

"Uh... why did you kill him?" Just as everyone was in confusion, a general on the boat suddenly asked the person who did it.

"It's nothing, it's just that my hands are itchy!" Geng Jimao glanced at Zhao Lizi in confusion, and casually replied with a reason that was not a reason.

However, all this happened not long ago, the new owner of the house has not yet arrived, and Jinzhou City is temporarily ownerless.

In fact, Geng Jimao took action to prevent the approaching fishermen from exposing the whereabouts of the rebels. Unexpectedly, he took action too slowly and instead exposed the whereabouts of the rebels.

In this case, he didn't bother to explain it in detail.

Zhao Lizi had a cold face and stopped talking to him. He just ordered coldly: "Listen to my order, force the landing, and prepare to storm Jinzhou City!"

"Yes!" As soon as Zhao Lizi finished speaking, there was a sudden chorus of responses, which made Geng Jimao's ears buzz.

It turns out that Geng Jimao, as the son of Geng Zhongming, is naturally a bit arrogant.

He saw that Zhao Lizi, the commander-in-chief of the rebel army who attacked Jinzhou this time, was only a young man, so he could not help but despise him.

And Zhao Lizi had long heard that the father and son first surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, then the Jin Dynasty, and then the Shun Dynasty. They could be described as "house slaves with three surnames", so naturally they looked down upon him.

After going back and forth, the two of them got into a bit of a quarrel.

Although it won't be a big deal, don't expect to have a good relationship with each other.

Following Zhao Lizi's order, a group of small boats suddenly rushed towards the coast like arrows from the string.

Not long after, more than a hundred small boats docked, and three soldiers jumped out of each boat in an orderly manner.

These soldiers were dressed in armor and armed with blunderbuss, swords, shields and spears, forming a basic three-talented formation.

However, the three three-talented formations were close together and formed a slightly larger three-talented formation.

In this way, in a short time, seven to eight hundred people were arrayed, forming a large three-talent formation.

It turned out that this was Zhao Lizi's way to solve the problem of insufficient manpower on the boat, which caused confusion in the organization when landing.

Each landing boat can carry four people, so one person will be left to guard the boat, and the remaining three will be organized based on three people.

The "commando team" with a total of more than 1,000 people can probably organize more than 700 people to carry out assaults.

However, because the training time was relatively short and the cooperation was not proficient enough, it was far from the "forced landing" required by Zhang Shun.

"Kill!" Just as the Rebel Marines had just completed their formation, a group of people also came out of Jinzhou City to kill.

It turned out that although Geng Zhongming and his son took away most of the people in the city, given that Jinzhou was located at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula and was often harassed by the Ming army, he still left more than a thousand troops to defend the city.

When these defenders saw that there were few rebels and their equipment was not very good, they thought they were Japanese pirates, so they came out directly to kill them.

"Where's Geng Jixing? Let him come to see me!" Seeing this, Geng Zhongming couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted.

Geng Jixing was one of his tribesmen and was in charge of the garrison.

However, Geng Jixing did not appear in the battle, and what he responded to was a barrage of arrows.

Geng Jimao couldn't help but feel his heart sinking, secretly thinking that it was not good.

Originally, the rebel army had moved out so quickly, and he still had a glimmer of hope.

He believed that if the Tatars did not have time to purge the Geng clan, he could respond to a hundred requests and take control of Jinzhou again.

As long as the father and son control this place, their position will be unbreakable due to the strategic importance of Jinzhou to the rebel army.

However, all of this was broken by this rain of arrows.

"Kill!" Zhao Lizi glanced at him and gave the order to attack with some gloating in his heart.

"Bump, bang, bang!" Following the sound of gunshots, the rebel army's three-talent array slowly advanced towards the incoming army.

It didn't matter what the rebels did. The defenders on the opposite side suddenly felt their hearts pounding. From this neat lineup, they immediately realized that this was a method of fighting.

However, at present, who has such means and can attack here, who else in the world besides "shun thieves"?

It turned out that this garrison was a Tartar official sent by Duduo to replace Geng Jixing, a member of the Geng clan.

This Tartar official was quite capable, but most of his troops were from Geng Zhongming's old troops, so his command was ineffective.

For this reason, he went on a killing spree and replaced many of Geng Zhongming's cronies, and then he barely managed to control this army, but it was inevitable that some people were convinced by appearance but dissatisfied by heart.

It happened that he heard that there was a group of pirates coming outside, so he thought of using this to establish his authority. He never thought that the pirates would become "submissive thieves" and he would be unable to step down on the spot.

If he ordered to retreat at this time, I am afraid that the last trace of his prestige would be completely destroyed.

When the time comes, not to mention fighting with the rebels, even if they rely on the city to defend it, they may not be able to defend it.

Instead of doing this, it is better to fight to the end and still have a chance of survival.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and gave the order: "Attack, completely wipe out this group of pirates!"
