Please ask me to be the emperor

"Dang, Dang, Dang!" Following a crisp golden sound, the two parties, who had been fighting for who knows how long, retreated consciously.

Ding Ruzhang took a long look at the corpses on the battlefield and the wailing disabled people, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, thankful that he had survived another day.

Today's battle is over, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?

When will this kind of battle end?

Thinking of this, Ding Ruzhang frowned, made arrangements for security, cooking and other matters, and then led a few people to look for Xudu.

When Ding Ruzhang arrived, "Xu Shuai" Xu Du was reprimanding another general under his command, Xu Jiayin.

"'Xu Shuai'!" When the fire was almost done, Ding Ruzhang stepped forward and bowed.

"How's the battle going?" Xu Du's face softened slightly, then he stopped scolding him and asked.

"There is no difference between victory and defeat," Ding Ruzhang replied with some shame.

"A dead heat? Another dead heat!" Xu Du's face tightened again.

No wonder Xu Du looked so ugly. It had been nearly a month since he started his army.

The original winning streak gave him the illusion that Ming Dynasty was a broken house that would collapse with just one hard kick.

However, the facts told him that "a skinny camel is bigger than a horse." Maybe the remnants of the Ming army could not deal with the "shun thieves", but they were enough to deal with his "Cangtou Army".

In the past few days, Xu Jiayin led his troops to attack Jinhua Mansion and was still unable to capture it. It was also difficult for Ding Ruzhang to stop the "Ping Kou Hou" Zheng Zhibao.

Although most of Xu Du's group were miners from Yiwu and Dongyang counties and were brave and not afraid of death, without good generals for training, not only would the fight be unorganized, but once the war was frustrated, they would be in danger of breaking up.

"Let's do this!" Xu Du frowned, pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but sighed, "In a moment, let Xu Jiayin go to Suzhou to ask for an audience with His Highness King Shun, and submit a surrender letter, so that His Highness can send troops to help in the battle!"

"'Xu Shuai'!" Ding Ruzhang and Xu Jiayin were stunned when they heard this, and couldn't help shouting quickly.

Although they had previously paid homage to Zhang Shun, it was just an excuse to raise an army.

But this time it was different. This time, if the surrender was specially presented, the two sides would have the righteousness of monarch and minister. This is comparable to the surrender in history when Cao Cao wanted to send his family members to Yecheng as hostages.

"Earlier, our brothers raised an army and defeated Dongyang today and Yiwu tomorrow. In just ten days, we almost occupied the entire Jinhua mansion!" Seeing this, Xu Du couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I thought my destiny was mine."

"Unexpectedly, in the past few days, I have seen my brothers leave me one by one. Only then did I realize that I had underestimated the heroes of the world."

"King Shun raised his troops from Mengjin, defeated the mighty Ming and Jin forces, and controlled most of the world. It was indeed Lang's false reputation."

"If we can get his help, we can not only turn the crisis around, but we can also strive for wealth for the rest of our lives!"

After hearing this, the two of them had nothing to say, so Xu Jiayin took the documents and surrendered the form and hurried to the north.

Not to mention what happened to Jinhua, it was on this day that Zheng Zhilong paid homage to King Zhu Yihai of Lu and was waiting for Zheng Zhibao to send the news.

Unexpectedly, a man came in a hurry and reported: "Uncle, what's bad, news just came from the sea. My fourth uncle has been defeated and has abandoned Zhoushan and is on his way to Taizhou!"

"What? How could Zhoushan be lost?" Zheng Zhilong was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly.

He believed that the navy was powerful and unrivaled in East Asia. He never expected that Zheng Zhifeng would be defeated.

"I don't know about this. It's just that my fourth uncle was defeated in Zhoushan and suffered a lot of losses, but it's absolutely true!" Zheng Cai hesitated after hearing this and replied.

"What about Zhibao?" Zheng Zhilong asked again quickly.

"There is still no news from Uncle Wuwu for the time being." Zheng Cai quickly replied.

"This" Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but ponder upon hearing this.

It turns out that Zheng Zhilong has five brothers in total. He is the elder brother, followed by Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Zhilin, Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhibao.

Among them, Zheng Zhilin died young; Zheng Zhihu bravely won the three armies, but when he conquered Liu Xiang in the eighth year of Chongzhen, he was accidentally ambushed and unfortunately died.

Of the remaining two, one Zheng Zhifeng passed the military examination and was promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of the Ming Army, and the other Zheng Zhibao entered the Imperial Academy and became a Imperial College student, and then was promoted to the rank of Deputy Chief of the Navy of the Ming Army.

And Zheng Zhilong himself was just a general soldier. After the Ming court was so divided and disintegrated, there was a rift between the three brothers who originally lived and died together.

Compared with Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhibao, who were "deeply favored by the country", Zheng Zhilong was actually not interested in supporting this "King Toulu".

He is more interested in how to speculate in it and earn "high profits."

Therefore, when Zheng Zhilong heard that Zheng Zhifeng was defeated and Zheng Zhibao had not made any progress, he immediately became interested.

"Zheng Cai, let's do this. You first secretly send an envoy to Ningbo to discuss surrender with King Shun. I'll try my best to control King Lu here!" He hesitated for a moment and then made up his mind.

"Uncle?" Zheng Cai was stunned when he heard this, and then lowered his head and bowed deeply.

Contrary to what Zheng Zhilong thought, Zheng Cai actually did not support his "surrender".

However, this Zheng Cai is the son of Zheng Ming, a member of the Zheng Zhilong tribe, and his relationship with him is not that good, so some words are difficult to say.

As soon as he went out, he selected a few people to act as envoys and rushed to Ningbo, and selected a few close associates to report to Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhibao respectively.

"What, my brother is going to surrender to the 'Submissive Thief'!" When Zheng Zhifeng got the news, he couldn't help but be shocked.

It turned out that it was Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhibao who made the decision on their own to support Zhu Yihai, King of Lu. Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to hold his nose and admit the matter.

Therefore, these two people resisted the most resolutely. On the contrary, Zheng Zhilong was facing Qin Muchu and was uncertain.

"No, we have to rush back to Taizhou!" Zheng Zhifeng, who had just resisted the situation near Taizhou, quickly docked at Haimen Port, then took a small boat up the Jiao River and rushed to Taizhou.

"What's going on?" When Zheng Zhifeng arrived at Taizhou City, he never thought that the city was in chaos and fighting with each other.

"Quick, hurry up, uncle is going to kill us!" Just when Zheng Zhifeng was stunned, unexpectedly Zheng Caizheng led dozens of people to fight and retreat to the city gate.

"What on earth is going on?" Zheng Zhifeng asked loudly while sending someone to respond.

"Oh, don't mention it!" Zheng Cai couldn't help but feel bad after hearing this, "I sent someone to ventilate my uncle before, but I never thought that my uncle would find out the clues and take the lead in taking action to control His Royal Highness King Lu and the general. Ma Menghua has taken nearly 100,000 officials, big and small, as well as soldiers and horses, and is preparing to surrender to the 'submissive thieves'!"

It turns out that in the original history, Zheng Zhifeng supported Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian, while Zheng Cai supported King Lu Zhu Yihai, and the relationship between the two was quite tense.

However, in Zhang Shun's life, because Zhu Yujian proclaimed himself emperor in Xiangyang, there was only one King of Lu, Zhu Yihai, in Zhejiang, so the original differences between the two disappeared, and Zheng Zhilong's surrender became a willful act.

As luck would have it, since Zhang Shun took control of the southeast, he had been gentle and not allowed to kill, which actually reduced the opposition of the gentry.

People like Zhang Panyan, Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule, Li Changxiang and others who were famous in history were either too young or were in other places and did not raise troops at all.

From this perspective, it actually alleviated the pressure on Zheng Zhilong to surrender outside the Zheng family.

After such an increase and decrease, the Zheng brothers broke up again just like in history.
