Please ask me to be the emperor

In this era, no one can withstand the fierce bombardment of thirty or forty Hongyi cannons and annihilate their opponents, not even Houjin.

Na Duduo commanded his cavalry and tried several attacks, but was bombarded by the "Fengzhou Sail Battleship". He had to give up his plan to annihilate Luo Xiang's cadres and retreated to camp near Xining Fort.

Luo Xiangqian also escaped under the cover of the sailing battleship Fengzhou, crossed the Daliao River and returned to Niuzhuangyi.

"General, I am ashamed that I failed to defend Xining Fort!" When Naluo Xiangqian saw Bai Guangen, he quickly apologized.

"No one expected Duduo to come so soon. I don't blame you for this!" Bai Guangen shook his head after hearing this, but still said.

"However, this matter will still be reported to King Shun for His Highness to make a decision."

"This is what it should be. I don't dare to blame the general." Luo Xiangqian couldn't help but said gratefully.

As the general, Bai Guangen originally had the right to punish Luo Xiangqian.

This time there was a reason for the incident, so he would not punish Luo Xiangqian, but report the matter from a neutral perspective. This was the best result for Luo Xiangqian.

"By the way, Duduo has a large number of people this time and cannot be resisted by one person. Where is General Huang? Why don't you call and let's discuss it together." Since the punishment was ignored, Luo Xiangqian quickly reminded him.

Duduo led 40,000 troops this time, while the three battalions of Bai Guangen, Luo Xiangqian and Huang Degong were less than 10,000 men, so they naturally needed tight deployment.

"General Huang? I'm afraid General Huang won't be able to come for a while. We can only rely on the two of us here!" Bai Guangen said with a bitter smile.

"Why is this? Could it be that the war in Haizhou is not going well?" Luo Xiangqian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask quickly.

Are you kidding me? We only have three battalions in total. We are already stretched thin to resist Houjin's main force. Now you are telling me that the other battalion cannot come back?

"He went to play with a big one and attack Liaoyang!" Bai Guangen said with a helpless expression when he heard this.

"What?" Luo Xiangqian was shocked when he heard this and almost fell off his stool.

Not to mention that Haizhou is only sixty miles away from Niuzhuang, but Liaoyang is one hundred and eighty miles away.

Shanna Liaoyang City was originally the seat of the Ming Dynasty's capital of Liaodong. There are many surprises in the city on Tuesday and fourteen miles, and it is the most important town in Liaodong.

Later, the city was occupied by Lao Nu and was named "Tokyo". Although it was later moved to Shenyang due to the military threat of the Ming army, it was still one of the "Three Capitals" of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Such a large city must be heavily guarded.

You, Huang Degong, are nothing more than a small general with only one battalion under his command. You are willing to sacrifice the near for the far, and the easy for the difficult. Could it be that you are crazy because of the loss?

Of course, Huang Degong was not crazy because of his failure. Instead, when he planned to attack Haizhou, he specifically ordered people to find local people to understand the situation nearby.

The people who were found also said that Huang Degong's troops were from the Ming army, but they were mumbling and dared not say anything.

Huang Degong was originally from the Ming army in Liaodong, so he naturally understood the concerns of the Liao people and quickly explained: "Now the emperor has changed in the capital. We are not the Ming army, but the rebel army under King Shun."

His explanation didn't matter, everyone's eyes lit up and they all spoke freely.

It turns out that the people of Liao have been suffering from the harsh rule of Ming Dynasty and the killings of Hou Jin Dynasty for a long time, and they have already suffered terribly.

Not long ago I heard that the "Tatar chief" Hongtai was beheaded by the leader of the rebel army, and I couldn't help but be very excited.

Full of expectations, I couldn't help but write many jokes in private, telling how "King Shun" was wise and benevolent.

In fact, they really didn't know how virtuous and benevolent "King Shun" was, but they just beautified Zhang Shun intentionally or unintentionally based on the mentality of "if he can kill the Tatars, he will vent his evil anger for us".

This beautification didn't matter, word of mouth spread, and soon everyone believed Zhang Shun's description of being rare in heaven and unparalleled in the world, specializing in killing Tatars and corrupt officials, and beautifying him.

A wise king and a wise prime minister have been the biggest dream of the Chinese people since ancient times.

As soon as the people heard that "Master Wang" had arrived, they couldn't help but talk about everything. In a short time, they described the situation nearby clearly and clearly.

Huang Degong couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this. He didn't expect that the "Liao people" were so enthusiastic. Not only did they entertain them well, but they also ordered the soldiers to distribute some silver coins to them as rewards.

And his move confirmed the suspicion between "Liao people" and "Master Wang".

Thinking of this, an old fisherman became emboldened and suddenly said: "Common people, I dare to ask, is the general planning to attack Haizhou?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Huang Degong was agitated when he heard this, and he couldn't help but have murderous intentions.

"If it's not, forget it. If it's just a lie, in the humble opinion of ordinary people, why doesn't the general take the opportunity to attack Liaoyang and restore my homeland?" The old fisherman explained to himself as if he didn't see Huang Degong's face.

"Although Liaoyang is big, I heard that after many deployments by the Tatars, there are actually only a thousand defenders in the city."

"If the general is really interested, I am willing to call on nearby fishermen and boats to transport the general upstream and directly to Liaoyang via the Taizi River!"

"What?" Huang Degong was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but asked quickly, "Can this Taizi River be used for large ships?"

It turns out that the Taizi River is a tributary of the Liaohe River and can reach directly to the vicinity of Liaoyang. This is also an important reason why the old slave changed Liaoyang to Shenyang Road shortly after setting it as "Tokyo".

It's just that it's been more than ten years since this happened, and the river has been silted up, so I don't know if it can still be used for boating.

"Why not?" The old fisherman couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu dredged silt, cut rocks, and dredged the Liao River. Sea-going ships could reach Liaoyang, Tieling, and Laomi Bay in Kaiyuan, and the annual grain transportation revenue was no less than one million. "

"After Wanli, the Liao Dynasty started again. Although it was not as prosperous as in the early days of the country, ships with hundreds of stones could travel without any worries."

"Although today the Tatars have destroyed my shipyard, killed my boatmen, and burned my boats, they have always used this river for smuggling."

"Oh? In that case, please ask the old gentleman to gather a ship for me. King Shun will give me a reward when I regain my homeland." Although Huang Degong was doubtful when he heard this, he still said falsely.

"I also ask the general to tell King Shun that if the rebel army can drive out the Tartars, overthrow Can Ming, and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment, we will die without regrets and use the rewards!" The old man couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, I will tell His Highness King Shun this!" Huang Degong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes became moist.

He was originally from Liaodong, so he naturally felt the suffering of the Liao people.

In the previous "Gaohuai chaos in Liao Dynasty", the Ming Dynasty lost the hearts of the people in Liaodong, and many people defected to the Jurchens.

As a result, the tigers and leopards came instead of driving away the wolves. After the Jurchens gained power, they slaughtered the Liao people wantonly, and their cruelty was even greater than that of the Ming Dynasty. This is exactly what "the people suffer when they prosper; when they die, the people suffer."

Therefore, when Mrs. Hong came to power and showed some kindness, the people of Liao were all grateful.

However, decades have passed, and the people of Liao still remember the "Gaohuai Rebellion" decades ago, but how can they not remember the massacres more than ten years ago?

Thinking of this, Huang Degong suddenly understood the psychology of the Liao people.

If a new force comes now, which does not cause killing and does not exploit, it will naturally be Yao, Shun, and Yu, so we should be grateful.

Sure enough, I heard the old man narrate again: "After the general arrives in Liaoyang, he doesn't need to worry about the old city, he only wants to attack the Tokyo city."

"On Saturdays in Tokyo, the city is inhabited by Tatars. The general is only responsible for raising troops, and there is no risk of accidentally killing our Han people."

"If the attack on the city fails, we can recruit the people of the old city to help."

"In the past, the old slave came to Liaoyang and caused a lot of killings. The Liao people wanted to sleep on his skin and eat his flesh. Because of this, the old slave had to leave in a hurry and change his capital to Shenyang."

It turns out that after the old slaves took control of Liaoyang, they forcibly implemented slavery, which aroused fierce resistance from the Han people.

This resulted in Lao Nu having to build a new city to avoid being taken advantage of by the Han people.

Later, Lao Nu discovered that if the Ming army invaded, the new city "Tokyo City" would be isolated and helpless, facing the dual threats of the Liao people and the Ming army, so he moved the capital to Shenyang.

But neither Lao Nu nor Hong Tai nor Duo Duo expected that the Ming army failed to realize this terrible threat, but instead allowed the rebels to realize it.
