Please ask me to be the emperor

"I heard that King Lu's troops came from the sea by boat, with thousands of warships, tens of thousands of soldiers, and countless red barbarian cannons. They are now attacking the city!" In the Zhanyuan Garden of Wei Guogong's Mansion, a few people gathered around Together, Zheng murmured in a low voice.

"Ah? There are a lot of rumors about this matter. Some people say it is the pirates and some people say it is the Southeast Navy. It is related to our family and life. I don't know whether it is true or false?" After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but ask.

The counterattack of "Jianguo King Lu" is certainly inspiring, but if the counterattack fails and they join rashly, wouldn't they ruin their fortune and life?

They are all princes and nobles who have lasted for several or even ten lifetimes. They are well aware of the principle of not letting go of eagles when they see rabbits, so they are somewhat hesitant about looking forward and backward.

"I saw this with my own eyes, how can it be false?" Lord Baoguo Zhu Guobi couldn't help but promise after hearing this.

"Since Brother Zhu has said so, of course we have no objection!" Wei Guogong Xu Yunjue nodded and then expressed his position.

"It's just that the matter is serious and we must not act rashly."

"After you all go back, select and train dead soldiers and lie dormant, waiting for the opportunity."

"If the time is not right, your troops must not be sent out, and your plans must not be revealed, otherwise you will be killed, and we will learn from the past!"

"Got it!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and responded quickly.

At this moment, Zhu Guobi, the protector of the country, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but suggest: "Now that the 'shun thieves' have few soldiers, they have sent some to Liyang and Jintan counties to suppress the rebellion. The city of Nanjing is now empty."

"If you can get one person to tell the truth outside the city, and then you and I can cooperate from the inside and outside, break the city in one fell swoop and capture its head, the world will still have no idea!"

"No, no, this matter has a huge stake, how can you be so reckless?" No matter what Zhu Guobi, the protector of the country, said, Xu Yunjue was frightened and didn't want to take the risk at all.

It turns out that the Duke of Wei, Xu Yunjue, is the tenth grandson of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty. He is the head of all the nobles in Nanjing. He is the Duke of Wei together with the Duke of Ding, Xu Yunzhen, who was previously killed by Zhang Shun.

It's just that the previous Dingguo Duke was Xu Da's third son Xu Zengshou. During the Battle of Jingnan, he secretly conveyed news to Zhu Di and was executed.

Therefore, when Zhu Di ascended the throne, he first thought of his old friendship and secondly, he wanted to win over the nobles, so he created a Duke of Dingguo to show his favor.

Xu Yunzhen learned from his mistakes, so Xu Yunjue was naturally cautious and careful to avoid suffering the disaster of destroying his family and genocide.

After some persuasion, everyone saw that Wei Guogong was a person who could not achieve great things, so they suggested: "In that case, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge. After it is accomplished, Wei Guogong must not envy us!"

Why doesn't Xu Yunjue obey?

He repeatedly warned everyone: "I don't know anything about this matter. You must not implicate me!"

Not to mention the calculations of the nobles in the city, Zheng Zhifeng bombarded the city of Nanjing for several days without any results, and he suddenly became anxious.

Although he saw through the telescope that there were not many rebel soldiers in Nanjing City.

However, the method of military use "shows the inability to use it when it is possible, and shows the inability to use it when it is used", which is false and true. Who knows whether this is the real situation in Nanjing City, or whether the "submissive thieves" deliberately show weakness to the enemy?

Zheng Zhifeng felt that she had made a mistake. He came all the way, but he didn't expect that the city built by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang would be so strong.

Even with the "magic cannon" in his hand, the heavy Hongyi cannon capable of firing twenty-four kilograms of shells could not damage him in the slightest.

"Dang Kouhou, the reinforcements sent by His Majesty are here!" Just when Zheng Zhifeng was hesitant, Zhu Dadian finally brought the news he wanted.

"What? Come on, come on over!" Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this.

"Dang Kouhou!" Not long after, a dark-skinned general in his late fifties walked in and saluted, "I promise to become famous!"

"Oh, it turns out that Marquis Ping Kou is here. You're welcome, you're welcome!" Zheng Zhifeng was stunned when he heard this and quickly returned the salute.

It turns out that whether Xiong Wencan supported Zhu Yujian, king of Tang Dynasty, or Zheng Zhilong supported Zhu Yihai, king of Lu, both were for the purpose of promotion and promotion, so their generals each received rewards.

Nowadays, these two people, one is a gangster and the other is a commoner, they complement each other perfectly.

The two sides finally finished their polite greetings, and Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "I don't know how many ships and troops Marquis Pingkou brought this time. Let's figure out how to attack the city!"

"This" Xu Chengming couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this, and said after a while, "Originally, Mr. Xiongge prepared 10,000 elite soldiers and more than a thousand warships, ready to go down the river."

"No one can imagine that there will be thieves coming to Lanshan, and they will be quite powerful. Just in case, Mr. Xiong Ge had no choice but to send troops to quell the chaos."

"Now I only have 500 warships under my command, and a battalion of Zhenjun troops are coming."

"Ah, this" smile visibly disappeared from the face of the gangster lord Zheng Zhifeng.

Are you kidding me? A few bankrupt refugees are worthy of all the efforts of you and others. Are you kidding me?

In fact, this was Zheng Zhifeng's misunderstanding.

It turns out that there were many miners in Linwu and Lanshan. Just last year, due to a mine accident, Xiong Wencan and others not only did not send anyone to rescue them, but instead ordered the mines to be closed. This made the miners dissatisfied and launched an uprising in anger.

Everyone elected Liu Xinyu as the general marshal and Guo Zinu as the military advisor. They united with the Li Jingchu uprising army in Lanshan and the Yao people in Mangshan and Jiufeng Mountains, gathering more than 10,000 people.

At the beginning, the rebels lost every battle.

In addition, Xiong Wencan's main energy and troops were used to deal with Xiao Qinhu's troops stationed in Nanyang, so he was not taken seriously.

Unexpectedly, in the past few days, everyone was inspired by the rebel army's capture of Nanjing, and launched another offensive, capturing Changning and Hengzhou successively.

After the rebel army captured Hengzhou, they contacted Jiang Changzi, Li Dayong, Li Gaofeng and others to revolt. Taking advantage of the victory, they pursued the enemy and captured Xiangtan and Xiangxiang counties, and then besieged Changsha.

Gao Doushu, the deputy envoy of Changsha, resisted desperately and quickly sent soldiers to Xiangyang for help.

After Xiong Wencan heard the news, he was greatly panicked and quickly dispatched his soldiers to quell the rebellion. This was also the root cause of Xu Chengming's late arrival.

Unfortunately, Zheng Zhifeng didn't know the truth and said that Xiong Wencan was bluffing him, so he immediately turned around and returned to Zhoushan.

"Supervisor, General, urgent report from the city!" Just when everyone was about to fall out, another soldier suddenly came in a hurry.

"Say it!" Zheng Zhifeng ordered angrily after holding back his stomach.

"That...that" the soldier glanced at Xu Chengming who was standing next to him, and finally gritted his teeth and reported, "I just got the news that the 'Shun Thief' is in the city, and he only has half a battalion and half a battalion of men under his command!"

"What? Is this news reliable?" Zhu Dadian, Zheng Zhilong and Xu Chengming were shocked when they heard this, and couldn't help asking quickly.

"Ah?" The soldier was startled when he was surrounded by three high-ranking officials and questioned him like this. He murmured for a long time before he said, "This information was handed over by someone sent by Zhu Guobi, the protector of the country in the city. Is it true or false?" In this way, the little ones don’t know anything about it.”

"Zhu Guobi?" Zheng Zhilong and Xu Chengming were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Dadian.

"This person is after Zhu Yong, the protector of the country. At the beginning of Tianqi, Yang Lian was framed by Wei Zhongxian and he spoke uprightly, thus losing his salary. At the beginning of Chongzhen, he also lost his title because of the impeachment of Wen Tiren and others." Zhu Dadian couldn't help but speak. explained.

"Later, when the state was in urgent need, the late emperor resumed his role and used his decision-making ability to attack the nobles and protect the country."

When the two of them heard Zhu Dadian's words, they immediately understood that they were talking about this person's temperament and stance, and he was more inclined to the Donglin Party.

The forces currently supporting King Lu are mainly the Zheng Zhilong Maritime Group and the Donglin Party members based in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Zheng Zhilong and Xu Chengming couldn't help but look at each other and couldn't help but smile: "Now I have more than 10,000 navy troops and 3,000 suppressing soldiers, several times more than thieves. They can be captured in one battle!"

"God has given me such great achievements, so it is fitting that I should be conferred the title of 'Submissive Thief' to revive the Ming Dynasty."

"If this battle is successful, Your Majesty will follow the story of Guangwu, and you and I will also be named on the Yuntai, and our descendants will enjoy wealth and honor for generations to come!"
