Please ask me to be the emperor

"Li Shuai, you've been waiting for a long time!" Outside Yangzhou City, Hong Chengchou greeted him with a salute.

"Hong Shuai!" Li Zicheng quickly returned the salute, looked at the rolling river and asked, "How is the situation?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" "Hong Shuai" Hong Chengchou explained with lingering fear, "A few days ago, King Shun defeated Zheng Zhilong's navy and recruited Denglai navy to join the defense. Now the river is much more peaceful than before."

It turned out that Zhang Shun was unstoppable all the way, and successively captured Xuzhou, Fengyang and other places. However, the resistance forces in Shandong, Nanzhi and other places had not yet been eliminated. The Ming army in Runing and the Huguang Ming army were entangled with each other, and they were eager to advance eastward at any time. Therefore, Zhang Shun appointed Li Zicheng and Hong Chengchou to be in charge of these two places respectively, and he went deep into the tiger's den and moved to Nanjing.

Now that Shandong has been almost pacified, Zhang Shun left Li Zicheng's deputy Guan Fumin in Shandong and transferred Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Dang Shousu, Zhang Rukui, Luo Shangwen and others to go south.

Of course, Li Zicheng has Li Zicheng's tasks, so Hong Chengchou cannot be idle either.

Zhang Shun also mobilized Li Xin's troops to go south, and they still returned to Hong Chengchou's command along with Cao Bianjiao's troops, preparing to deal with the enemies in the direction of Runing and completely solve the military problems in Jiangbei.

Not to mention Zhang Shun's calculations, Li Zicheng was always clumsy. After a few polite words with Hong Chengchou, he suddenly had nothing to say.

Seeing that Hong Chengchou stopped talking, he murmured for a long time, and finally said: "This... Yangzhou is much more prosperous than Xi'an..."

"Ah? Yes." Hong Chengchou suddenly broke into a cold sweat after hearing what Li Zicheng said.

Why?

It turned out that Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo, Tian Jianxiu and others had already become notorious for their torture and plundering of large households.

He said this without hesitation, and Hong Chengchou said that this guy was eyeing a big business in Yangzhou again.

He quickly stopped him and said: "Today is different from the past. Your Highness is now in a dangerous place and is waiting eagerly. It would be best to ask Commander Li to cross the river as soon as possible!"

"Oh, that's true!" When Li Zicheng thought about it, he couldn't help but ask, "In that case, when can we cross the river?"

When it comes to galloping on horseback, Hong Chengchou cannot compare to Li Zicheng.

But when it comes to things on the water, landlubber Li Zicheng is not as good as Zhang Shun, the "white stripe in the waves", let alone Hong Chengchou, who was born in the south.

"Oh, I have some cannons in hand, I can use them to help Li Shuai!" Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

This is not because he is opposed to "torture" large households, but now that the rebel army has just occupied the Jianghuai area, and the Runing Ming army is eyeing it, it is not appropriate to cause trouble.

The two agreed, and on that day Li Zicheng and others were escorted by Liu Zeqing from Guazhou Ferry across the rolling Yangtze River to Zhenjiang.

Zhao Guangyuan, the general who was stationed in Zhenjiang, quickly came over to entertain him.

After everyone was full of wine and food, they went back to their rooms to rest.

However, just when Li Zicheng was drunk and about to fall asleep, suddenly the door rang.

"Who is it?" Li Zicheng asked unhappily.

"It's me, Tian Jianxiu!" A familiar voice rang.

"Oh, it turns out to be sir, please come in quickly, please come in quickly!" In any case, Tian Jianxiu can be regarded as his confidant, and Li Zicheng certainly does not dare to neglect him.

However, when he opened the door and took a look, he saw a scribe standing next to Tian Jianxiu. He was only thirty-four or five years old. He was dressed in Confucian clothes and had an extraordinary bearing.

"Sir, this is it," Li Zicheng couldn't help but glance at Tian Jianxiu and said.

"General, I am Zhang Pu!" The scribe saluted Li Zicheng and replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"Zhang Pu? His Highness's relative?" Li Zicheng looked confused.

"Cough cough cough." As soon as Li Zicheng said these words, Na Tian Jianxiu suddenly started coughing desperately.

"Uh" Zhang Pu was also a little dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Mr. Zhang is a famous figure in Jiangdong, so he is known as 'Loudong Erzhang'!" Tian Jianxiu quickly explained, "He is the courageous person in the world and the leader of Fushe."

"Although I live in the countryside, I can still control the imperial court; even though I am idle, I can still control the world. I am very lazy!"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng was surprised when he heard Tian Jianxiu's words. He quickly and respectfully welcomed Zhang Pu into the room, asked him to take a seat, and then asked him as he waited on him.

"Sir, you are a great talent. If you come to see me now, you must have great insights. Please tell me everything you know, and tell me everything you want!"

"This" Zhang Pu never expected that Li Zicheng could be so "impatient" and couldn't help but said with great joy, "Since the general is interested, please let me analyze the world's affairs for the general!"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng glanced at Tian Jianxiu strangely, not knowing why, so he had to remain silent.

Seeing that he had emphasized Li Zicheng's "feelings", Zhang Pu became even more excited and couldn't help but continue to preach: "Since the rebellion of the old slaves in Jianzhou, all the heroes in the world have risen together."

"The power of King Shun was inferior to that of the imperial court and Hou Jin, but he was able to defeat him not only because of the timing of the situation, but also because of human schemes. Does the general think so?"

"Of course!" Although Li Zicheng admired Zhang Shun's "destiny", what impressed him even more was Zhang Shun's ability.

"Now King Shun has millions of people, holding the emperor hostage to command the princes. This sincerity cannot be competed with!" Zhang Pu was encouraged and could not help but continue to preach.

"Xiong Wencan, the governor of Huguang, supported the Tang king, and connected with the lineage of Lu Wang Zheng Zhilong in the east. With the remaining power of the Ming Dynasty, the people's hearts joined him. This can only be used for support but not for gain!"

Wait, what do you mean? Li Zicheng felt something wrong when he heard this.

"The land of today's Jiangdong is connected to the sea to the east, Huguang to the west, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the south, and Jianghuai to the north. This was the foundation of Soochow in the past and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. It cannot be defended except by its owner." Sure enough, I heard Zhang Pu's loud voice again.

"It's because Zhang Tian is endowed with the general. Does the general have any interest in it?"

"Are you alienating me?" When Li Zicheng heard this, he didn't understand what was going on. He blushed and shouted loudly, "Li is loyal, and the sun and the moon can teach him!"

"You clowns will be destroyed in a matter of seconds, how dare you do this?"

"Come here, drag this guy out and chop him down!"

"General, general!" After hearing what Li Zicheng said, Zhang Pu couldn't help being shocked and shouted loudly, "I thought the general was a hero, but he turned out to be a bear!"

"I heard that the general's wife was also taken away by a 'submissive thief'. As the saying goes: the hatred for killing the father is the hatred for taking away the wife. It is tolerable, but what is unbearable? The general does not have any resentment in his heart!"

"In the past, Lu Fengxian still knew that 'a man was born between heaven and earth, how can he be depressed and depressed'? He could kill Dong Zhuo for a Diao Chan, but the general was not as good as Lu Fengxian!"

"Three slaves named Lu Fengxian are no different than me!" Li Zicheng became even more furious when he heard this.

So, without waiting for the soldiers to arrive, he pulled out his sword and was about to step forward and kill the guy with one blow.

"General, no!" Unexpectedly, Tian Jianxiu quickly stopped him and said, "Everyone knows that this guy has been drinking. Please general, please tie this guy up quickly and send him to Nanjing to avoid being exposed by His Highness." suspect!"

"This" Li Zicheng was stunned when he heard this, couldn't help but put down the knife, nodded and said one word, "Okay!"

"." Zhang Pu never expected that at this point, Li Zicheng suddenly changed his mind and couldn't help shouting, "Thief, kill me quickly, otherwise the evil plot you are planning today will be known to the whole world!"

It turned out that the people in Jiangnan had other thoughts when they saw that the rebel army was powerful and the "abolition of slavery" was unstoppable.

I don't know where they found out that Li Zicheng and Zhang Shun had always been at odds, so they began to try to persuade Li Zicheng to "stand on his own" to relieve the pressure from the rebels on Jiangnan and Canming forces.

But how could they have imagined how much effort Zhang Shun had put into regaining Li Zicheng? How could they be persuaded by just a few words?

Originally, Zhang Pu's idea was to "kill oneself to become a benevolent person". It would be best if he could persuade Li Zicheng.

If you can't stand it, then start making trouble and let Li Zicheng's yellow mud fall into his crotch. It's either shit or shit!
