Please ask me to be the emperor

"Drive, drive, drive!" Zhang Shun was wearing heavy armor and was sweating profusely while riding his horse towards the west.

There was also a round package hanging on the saddle, and most of it was stained with dark brown blood.

It is 150 miles from Taicang to Suzhou in the west, 150 miles to Chongming Island in the east, and 150 miles to Songjiang in the south. Taicang is located among them.

After the rebels interrogated the prisoners, Zhang Shun learned that this attack was composed of the remnants of the Ming army, Huang Fei, Zheng Zhilong and Shen Youlong.

The arrangement of the three was to occupy Suzhou, Chongming and Songjiang respectively, and then use this as a springboard to besiege Gu Yuan.

If we want to eliminate the current military threat, we must start from the arrangement of these three parties.

Now that the coalition forces were defeated, the three parties fled.

Needless to say, the Dongjiang soldiers will naturally flee back to Suzhou, the navy will flee back to Chongming, and Shen Youlong's Ding Zhuang will flee back to Songjiang.

However, Zhang Shun's troops were limited and obviously not enough to pursue in three directions at the same time, so he could only choose one of the most important points as the primary target.

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Shun chose the Dongjiang soldiers who fled west as his first target.

First, the Dongjiang soldiers were the most powerful and were the main force used by the gentry and literati in Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to fight against Zhang Shun.

Secondly, Huang Fei, the former commander-in-chief of the Northeast Navy during the Ming Dynasty's aid campaign and the admiral of Guan Liao, Tongjin and Huaihaijiang Town, was killed in the battle. His soldiers were leaderless and in chaos. It was the time when the rebels were defeated in one fell swoop.

Sure enough, not long after Zhang Shungang left Gu Yuan, he saw the fleeing Dongjiang soldiers looting nearby people.

He had no choice but to leave some men behind to drive and kill them while chasing them westward as quickly as possible.

This group of soldiers who had withdrawn from the battlefield in Liaodong were not only extremely fierce in fighting, but they were also responsible for causing disaster.

"Looking at this time, it's probably almost time." It was just dawn, and the Zhou Manor was already full of guests. One of the young people named Xu couldn't help shouting.

"Xu Ziyi, you are just impatient!" Everyone laughed when they heard this, "Now that Governor Huang's army is gone, what will happen to the 'shun thief'?"

"Hey, I say I'm impatient, why aren't you anxious?" Xu Ziyi couldn't help but retorted after hearing this, which immediately made everyone laugh.

It turns out that this group of people are all representatives of prominent families in Suzhou and Kunshan. Now they are gathered together to deal with the "reverse traitors".

Among them, Huang Fei was able to capture Suzhou City so quickly and reach Gu Yuan via Kunshan. Naturally, the power of these people was indispensable.

"Once this 'successful thief' is over, I'm afraid the Gu family will not be left behind!" Someone had already answered.

"Hey, be careful what you say, you have to be careful what you say!" Someone heard this and couldn't help but said angrily.

"What does it matter if he doesn't care about this?" Unexpectedly, someone else laughed.

It turns out that his family is also the Gu family. Although they are somewhat related to the Gu family in Taicang, they are no longer the same family after all.

"You think I'm talking about you, but actually I'm talking about him!" Someone said angrily and pointed at Xu Ziyi sideways.

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.

"Ye Haolong, what do you mean!" Xu Ziyi couldn't help but get up after hearing this.

"It's not interesting, it's just that someone took a fancy to the young lady, but the girl ended up climbing a high tree!" Ye Haolong smiled.

It turned out that Xu Ziyi had heard before that Gu Qiji was both talented and beautiful, and that she was a good match, so she had long wanted to marry her.

It is inevitable to mention it to other people in private, so as to avoid other people's desire to marry.

It's just that he never expected that Zhang Shun would interfere. The duck that was originally cooked suddenly flew away. You can imagine how depressed he felt.

"I won't tell you, just wait for my good news!" After hearing this, Xu Ziyi's face became uncertain for a while, then he suddenly smiled and sat down with all his anger gone. Everyone watching was surprised.

"What's wrong with you? Are you mad?" Everyone asked in surprise.

"Stupid? Which one is stupid? Everyone will know when the news comes out later!" Xu Ziyi replied with a smile on his face.

"Tsk, you're trying to be mysterious!" Everyone didn't take it seriously, but Xu Ziyi sneered secretly.

What do you think?

It turned out that this guy admired Gu Qiji and thought he was forbidden.

After hearing that she had been "forcibly taken" by Zhang Shun, she became murderous.

But unlike the "dog licker" Lu En, he hated the whole house, even the Gu family and Gu Qiji.

So, he used an old servant he had bribed earlier to add some ingredients to the Gu family's big fish.

According to his thoughts, if the test couldn't be found, Zhang Shun and the Gu family would be dead.

If it is found out, it means that the Gu family "deliberately murdered King Shun" and the family was confiscated and exterminated, which is natural.

Therefore, he is keeping quiet now and is preparing to give everyone a surprise later.

"It's not good, it's not good!" He said he was surprised. Just when Xu Ziyi was thinking about it, several servants suddenly stumbled in.

There are our own and others.

"Why are you panicking?" He couldn't help but ask first.

"Captain Huang was defeated. His defeated soldiers rushed back. They killed everyone they saw and humiliated women they saw. They had just invaded our garden and those dog slaves were so frightened that they dispersed..." I heard that The slave replied breathlessly.

"What?" Xu Ziyi felt his eyes go dark and almost fainted on the spot.

"What about Huang Fei? Could it be that a thief has been surrendered?" Someone had already asked in disbelief.

"I heard... I heard that he was beaten to death and his head... was cut off..." The servant spoke with a trembling voice, obviously frightened.

"Quick, go back and take a look!" At this time, everyone had no intention of seeing Xu Ziyi's joke and couldn't help but jump up.

Xu Ziyi didn't care about anything and hurried home.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw several slaves running out in a panic.

"Where's my mother?" Xu Ziyi couldn't help but grabbed someone and asked.

"Madam... Madam is inside..." The servant was startled and pointed inside quickly.

"Mother!" Xu Ziyi quickly abandoned the man and ran into the yard.

"Master, you can't go in..." The servant tried to hold him back, but couldn't hold him back?

When he rushed into the courtyard, his eyes were split open, and he saw a few soldiers holding down a few women and brutalizing them.

"Thieves, let them go!" Xu Ziyi couldn't help but shouted, then found a wooden stick that the servants had discarded before, and rushed forward.

"Bang bang!" Before he could rush forward, two soldiers waiting in line opened the wooden sticks with a shot, and then got a good punch.

"Hold it down and let him see!" A defeated soldier who looked like a leader ordered while panting.

"Okay!" The two defeated soldiers laughed, pulled him forward, and pressed him to the ground.

"Dog thief...dog thief..." Xu Ziyi couldn't help but beat and scold him while struggling desperately.

It's just that the fingers of these two defeated soldiers were like steel claws. No matter how hard he struggled, they didn't move at all.

"How dare you, thief!" Just when he was about to explode with anger, he suddenly heard a loud shout, and then the two people holding him loosened their fingers.

He struggled quickly, but saw several arrows hitting the two people.

He quickly picked up a waist knife and was about to slash at one of them, but someone else had already beaten him to death and killed him with a single shot.

"Mother, mother!" He quickly abandoned the knife and frantically pushed the man away, revealing a naked woman covered in blood.

"Brother!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but stepped forward and patted his shoulder, handed him a piece of clothing, and motioned for him to cover her quickly.

"Okay, okay!" Xu Ziyi saw it and quickly took it over to cover her.

Who would have thought that in this stunned moment, the woman suddenly picked up the waist knife that Xu Ziyi had just discarded and inserted it into her chest.

"Mom!" Xu Ziyi never expected that she would be so decisive. He had already thrown away the clothes, hugged her and shouted heartbreakingly.

Seeing such a human tragedy, Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel heavy in his heart, so he waved to the others and retreated.

"It's so miserable!" Dong Xiaowan, Gu Qiji, Bian Yujing and Bian Min, who were all suffering from pain in their thighs as soon as they went out, couldn't help but murmured with pale faces.

The four girls, who were born in a land of prosperity, wealth and gentleness, have experienced more in the past two days than they have seen in half their lives.

Blood, corpses, and insulted women all impacted their fragile nerves.

"Your Highness..." The four of them couldn't help but lean closer to Zhang Shun, as if they could find some sense of security in this way.

"Okay, let's go to the next place!" Zhang Shun sighed and ordered unconsciously, "Every time we delay our efforts for a moment, someone will suffer for an extra moment!"

There were many defeated troops in Dongjiang, and most of them were concentrated in the homes of major clans in Kunshan, which made Zhang Shun easy to find.

After finally being busy until it was getting dark, he finally captured and killed all these people, which attracted a group of gentry who thanked them profusely.

"Master, someone is looking for you!" Just when Zhang Shun was tired and wanted Dong Xiaowan and Gu Qiji to help him take off his armor and take a breath, Wukong unexpectedly came to report.

"Oh, let him come over!" Zhang Shun was so hot that he didn't really want to talk.

"General, thank you for your life-saving grace. Now I have no idea, so I will prepare a small gift to express my gratitude!" Not long after, a familiar young man came over.

He was in a daze, and his eyes were swollen from crying.

Following his order, the servants around him quickly brought over some gold, silver, wine and food.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Zhang Shun replied feebly, standing up and wanting to see the guest off.

"Uh... I dare to ask the general's name so that I can repay my kindness in the future..." The young man was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"Oh, my surname is Zhang Mingshun, and everyone calls me 'King Shun'..." Zhang Shun smiled.

"It's you! You're not dead!" Unexpectedly, the young man Xu Ziyi couldn't help shouting when he heard this.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shun's face darkened when he heard this, and he suddenly remembered the rebel soldiers who were poisoned by big fish.

"It's not interesting, I just want to ask you if Gu Qiji is having fun!" Unexpectedly, Xu Ziyi looked like a madman and suddenly asked.

"Oh, it must be fun, she is so young...even my mother...ahhh...my mother was killed by you!"

"No, was my mother killed by me, or was it you who saved us...ah ah ah, Xu Ziyi, you brought it upon yourself, and today..."

"Shut up!" When Gu Qiji heard that he said such obscene words and was the murderer who tried to poison Zhang Shun, her eyes widened immediately and she was about to step forward to argue with him.

"Don't go...he...he's gone crazy!" Zhang Shun quickly grabbed Gu Qiji with one hand and looked at him with some pity.

It turned out that after repeated stimulation, he finally broke the string in his mind and went crazy.

As the saying goes: Those who play with swords will die by the sword!

The big businessmen in Suzhou have little military strength themselves, but they still want to "borrow troops to help suppress". Isn't this just seeking the skin of a tiger?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but look around. Wherever his eyes went, the big businessmen in Suzhou and Kunshan couldn't help but lower their heads one by one.

He suddenly understood that the reason why these defeated troops were able to accurately find these big households was probably inseparable from the warm hospitality of these big households when the Dongjiang soldiers came east.

In fact, things were even more outrageous than Zhang Shun imagined. It turned out that when Huang Fei entered Suzhou and Kunshan, in order to rush for time, he was entertained separately by the big families in these cities.

For example, you are in charge of ten people, and I am in charge of twenty, so that after these people come back from defeat, they are familiar with the road and take care of themselves without asking!
