Please ask me to be the emperor

There is a saying in Go, "No regrets when you make a move." As a chess player, no matter whether you make all kinds of calculations or just let it go, once you make a move, you can no longer regret it.

The same is true for rebellion. Either you stay honest and be a good citizen, or you go all the way to the dark side.

Ren Chen and others "only saw thieves eating meat, but never seeing thieves being beaten." They were jealous of Zhang Shun and others who had been in high positions for just two years, so they easily became rebellious.

When they encounter difficulties, it is too late to regret. Even if they wanted to go back on their word and prepare to cut off their heads with a knife, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who received the credit would not agree.

When Zhang Shun got the news that Ren Chen and others had raised troops in Yuzhou, Zhang Shun couldn't believe his ears.

What does it mean to say "If you don't take the road to heaven, there is no door to hell but you will come to it on your own"? These people perfectly interpret this sentence.

Zhang Shun never expected that when he led his army to invite them to join the uprising, they would shirk him in every possible way. But when he turned around and left, they killed their own officials and rebelled, forming separate factions.

Do they really think that the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are Bodhisattvas made of clay and Arhats made of paper? But once the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty arrive, I am afraid that Yuzhou City will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Zhang Shun quickly called Xiao Qinhu, Chen Jindou, Li Jiyu and others to discuss the matter. Unexpectedly, Chen Jindou said directly: "My lord, don't bother, as the saying goes: It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words. When my lord and Li Jiyu met After you return, they will keep me in the Ren Mansion just to inquire about my original prophecy."

"Zhu Ren is not a person who has lived under others for a long time, and he has always been friends with heroes, and he has evil intentions. Now that they are taking advantage of the absence of my rebel army, they have the intention to compete with us. If my lord goes to help him now, On the contrary, it caused discord, and on the contrary, I was afraid that the master was plotting to gain territory for his men.”

"Anyway, this thief has already raised an army, so I'm not afraid of him going back on his word. In this way, the lord's purpose of attracting officers and soldiers has been achieved, so why not do it? But after they are all killed, the lord will move forward again. Only by cleaning up the mess can you show your lord's kindness!"

Zhang Shun also knew that this was the truth, but he still couldn't help but sigh: "But these many lives will be lost here, how can I bear it!"

Chen Jindou curled his lips and said, "I can't control much, as long as we don't kill anyone!"

Zhang Shun is not the Virgin, let alone the Virgin bitch. If he was asked to sacrifice himself to save others regardless of the consequences, he would absolutely refuse to do so. After sighing with emotion, I still live my life as I should!

Originally, according to Zhang Shun's plan, after attracting the attention of the officers and soldiers to the east, they waited for an opportunity to return to Baodu Village and continue farming.

It's just that the government hasn't had time to mobilize officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them, and Ren Chen and others are causing trouble nearby. It would be a waste of effort to just wander around like this.

It happened that Zhang Shun had earned a lot of food in Songxian, Yiyang, Dengfeng and Yuzhou, so there was no fear of food shortage for a while.

Near Dengfeng, Zhang Shun organized and trained the previously coerced "Mao Hulu" under Yu Dazhong's command, the 500 elite soldiers under Wei Zhiyou's command, and the 3400 or 400 elite soldiers under Tang Jiuzhou's command to form a real combat effectiveness.

Originally, Zhang Shun's infantry were 600 under Li Jiyu, "King of Chaos" and "King of Ruler". Xiao Qinhu had more than 600 newly trained infantry soldiers, totaling about 1,200.

The elite soldiers under Wei Zhiyou and Tang Jiuzhou's elite soldiers were both available. Zhang Shun directly dispersed them and reorganized them into 900 people, and assigned them to Li Jiyu, "King of Chaos" and "King of Ruler" to lead them. The strength increased to 500 elite soldiers per person.

The remaining more than a thousand "hair gourds" were proficient in martial arts but untrained, and Zhang Shun entrusted them to Xiao Qinhu's leadership.

Anyway, this second brother Xiao already has relatively mature experience in training troops, and he has more than 600 well-trained "child soldiers" under his command who can suppress them.

So Zhang incidentally organized the "hair gourds" of more than 1,500 people, mainly miners, under Xiao Qinhu's command, and asked him to train and use them from time to time.

While Zhang Shun was training his infantry, local "local snakes" Chen Jindou and Li Jiyu came to visit Zhang Shun again.

Li Jiyu took the lead in admonishing: "Songshan Mountain is among the five mountains with a dangerous terrain. From here, you can see Zhengzhou and Kaifeng to the east, Yuzhou and Xuzhou to the south, and you can attack Luoyang with the rebel army to the west. It is a military Important land.”

"Now Ren Chen and others are revolting against Yuzhou. Since the lord intends to rely on this person's power, how can he sit idly by and wait for him to fend for himself? It's just that this place is too close to Henan Fucheng, and the shallow water cannot accommodate a real dragon. If there is a garrison, If there are too many, they may be destroyed by the mass of officers and soldiers."

"In my opinion, a general should be left here to take advantage of the mountain and set up camp for further exploration. If Ren Chen and others are powerful, we can see their ambitions; if Ren Chen and others are destroyed, they can surrender their remaining troops and think that Rebels help.”

When Zhang Shun heard this, he felt happy. This was Li Jiyu's recommendation to stay here.

Since the generals came out of the Lu family, they have known that this eastern expedition is just to attract officers and soldiers to go eastward. Even when they arrived in Song County, everyone knew that this was just a temporary measure.

This Li Jiyu is also an ambitious man. He failed to rebel alone the previous time, so he had no choice but to surrender to him. Now that the rebels have arrived in their hometown, it is inevitable that they will have some thoughts.

Zhang Shun was noncommittal and looked at Chen Jindou again. Chen Jindou said with a smile: "Brother Yu Yu and I just happened to meet each other by chance. What we said was not the same thing."

"I heard that since ancient times, all those who conquered the world did not value talents and scholars. Now that my lord has accepted Heaven's orders and asked for orders for the people, he must follow the example of his ancestors."

"Zhongzhou has been a prosperous place for culture and education since ancient times, with talents emerging in large numbers and heroes everywhere. Although today's literary fortune is declining, it is not as good as that of Jiangnan, but it still has merit. More than ten miles away from this place, there is an academy named 'Songyang Academy'."

"It was one of the four major academies in the Song Dynasty. Twenty-four people, including Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Yang Shi, Zhu Xi, Li Gang, and Fan Chunren, successively gave lectures here. The literary style was very popular for a while."

"By the end of the Song Dynasty, it was destroyed by war. During the Jiajing period, the magistrate Hou Tai rebuilt Songyang Academy at its original site, built an ancestral hall for the second time, hired teachers and disciples, and King Shangzhen of Canggu named it, and the academy was restored. Eventually, due to four hundred years of military disasters, it was restored and destroyed, and it no longer enjoyed its former glory."

"Fortunately, there are now more than a hundred students here. Even if they are not talented, they can still be scribes with swords and pens. My Lord, you can take the opportunity to invite them. Your trip to Dengfeng is not in vain!"

Before Chen Jindou finished speaking, Li Jiyu couldn't help but glared angrily and said, "How can Chen Jindou be so shameless! Jiyu asks my lord to kill Chen Jindou to thank the world."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Chen Jindou almost choked on his saliva when he heard this. In the past, he was the one who stirred up trouble and slandered his lord, "kill so and so to thank the world." However, he never thought that one day it would be his turn.
