Please ask me to be the emperor

Zhang Shun struggled for a moment, then thought: Now that I am also the "bandit leader" who takes life and death, why do I need to explain to others what I do?

He couldn't help but point out: "I want this woman! Guiying, take her back later and tidy her up!"

Lao Hu couldn't help but grimace and remained silent.

If freedom, equality, democracy and the legal system are to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in future generations, if you dare to be unreasonable, I guarantee that someone will dare to turn against you directly.

In this era, it is natural that "qi is divided into pure and dirty, and people are divided into high and low". Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the third, sixth and ninth grades are the political consensus of this era.

What is reason? The noble will always be noble, and the humble will always be humble. This is the truth.

The streets of heaven trampled all the bones of the princes, and the inner treasury was burnt to ashes. On the contrary, it is something even more treasonous than starting a rebellion.

Don't look at Lao Hu who captured the Tang Dynasty's princess. Zhang Shunzhen found an excuse to "disrupt the dignity" and beheaded him, and no one could say anything.

Back then, Lan Yu was victorious at Yu'er Hai, and his performance was better than that of Wei Huo. However, because he humiliated the concubine of the Yuan Lord, he was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, "Jade is so rude, how can it be done by a general!" This is the truth.

There is a difference between superior and inferior. Although the Yuan Lord is an enemy, his concubine is not something that a general can get involved with.

Not to mention that Lao Hu is almost the same as Bai Shen. What identity can he humiliate the concubine of the Tang Dynasty?

Although Lao Hu was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to be rude.

"Your wife died because of the Tang Dynasty. Then let the Tang Dynasty palace compensate you with another wife. You captured these women. You choose one to marry and live home!" Although Zhang Shun thinks this logic is nonsense, but People in this era also recognized this, so they had to comfort him first.

When Lao Hu heard this, he was a little moved. Originally, his wife was just an ordinary peasant woman.

In comparison, the palace servants of the Tang Dynasty were all carefully selected and had outstanding figures and looks, so it was not an insult to him.

It turned out that after he played, these women either committed suicide out of shame or fled to places where no one knew them. They would definitely not marry him as a "thief".

Thinking of this, Lao Hu accepted his fate and had no choice but to say, "It all depends on the king!"

Okay, are you a male dog in heat? If you see a random woman on the road and take her to your house, how are you different from the previous Tang kings?

While Gao Guiying complained helplessly, she pulled over Princess Tang, whose hands were tied, and said with a sweet smile: "Princess Chong, Princess Tang, it's hard to fly with wings!"

Zhang Shun rolled his eyes at her, was too lazy to pay attention to her, and continued: "Since you have a deep hatred with the Tang Palace, you can also be the executioner when the official punishment is announced in a few days, and kill you happily!"

"Ah?" Lao Hu was shocked. Unexpectedly, he lost the mulberry tree in the east and harvested it, but there was such a good thing?

He couldn't help but choose a beautiful woman and went there thanking her profusely. The remaining women were also betrothed by Zhang Shun to several bachelor soldiers under Lao Hu's command.

Although Zhang Shun felt that he did not handle this matter very authentically, he still maintained the bottom line.

He originally thought that the conflict in the western Henan Province would be acute, but compared with the Nanyang Mansion, it was simply dwarfed.

From this point of view, the people of Nanyang have suffered from the Tang king for a long time. Once the king of Tang lost power, there were countless people who would add insult to injury.

This is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time.

The good thing is that it is easy to mobilize the people of Nanyang to join the rebel army and resist the brutal rule of the Ming Dynasty; the bad thing is that once the people get emotional and wanton vendettas, it is likely to cause strong tearing and collision in the society.

In the end, it turns into an emotional vent of wanton destruction, and the whole society falls into a state of disordered revenge, which is really unforgivable.

The most intuitive example is the peasant army originating from northern Shaanxi. Because Shaanxi has suffered from severe droughts for consecutive years and the people are in dire straits, they have raised troops and entered Shanxi, Beizhili, Henan, Huguang and other places to eat.

As a result, everyone shouted for beatings due to indiscriminate evil acts such as looting, burning, and building banks. Not only were there no Confucian scholars to join him, but even the "Mao Hulu" who was half-farmer and half-bandit was ashamed to associate with him. His reputation is evident.

As a result, the peasant army, which had been fighting since the Tianqi period, had been on the move for seven or eight years, but still had no achievements.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun had no intention of patrolling the streets. He only called out to two brothers, Ren Guangrong and Ren Jirong, and went straight to look for Xiao Qinhu.

As a result, when Zhang Shun found Xiao Qinhu, he was commanding his soldiers to attack a mansion.

When he met Zhang Shun, Xiao Qinhu complained in a rare way: "Is this person named Zhu a pig?"

"Not only are there litter after litter, but there are also so many 'pig pens'."

No wonder Xiao Qinhu, who has always been honest, complained so much. Nanyang City is a small city with a circumference of only six miles.

However, in addition to the large-scale Tang Prince's Mansion, it accommodates nine smaller-scale County Prince's Mansions.

Which nine county princes' mansions? They are Sancheng Palace, Xincheng Palace, Chengxiu Palace, Tangyin Palace, Xiyang Palace, Wencheng Palace, Yancheng Palace, Weihui Palace and Xinye Palace.

In addition to these nine princely mansions, there are also the mansions of Prince Duan of Tang Dynasty: King Fushan, King Qingyuan, King Anyang, King Baoqing, King Yongxing, King De'an, King Yongshou and others, as well as an unknown number of princesses. , Mansion.

Therefore, a situation was formed where "the residences in Nanyang City face each other, there are hundreds of generals and lieutenants, and half of the residents are members of the clan".

Since Xiao Qinhu entered the city, he has dispatched 3,000 soldiers under his command to search the princes' palaces, but the manpower is still insufficient.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. He successively captured Fu Fan in Luoyang and Chong Fan in Runing. He claimed to be well-informed, but this was the first time he encountered such a difficult situation.

"Half of the entire Nanyang City is composed of vassal kings and clans?" It was unbelievable. Zhang Shun couldn't help but confirm.

"That's right!" Xiao Qinhu, a country bumpkin, was also a little dumbfounded. "Not only does the residence occupy more than half of Nanyang, but the population also accounts for nearly half of the city's population!"

Zhang Shun calculated in his mind that even if each palace sent 200 soldiers for control, it would still require 3,400 people.

If the imperial court took the opportunity to counterattack, this battle would not have to be fought.

Perhaps if the prince of the Zhu family were more ambitious and had more than a hundred people in a family, it would have been impossible for him to defeat Nanyang City in the first place.

"What should I do?" Xiao Qinhu looked at Zhang Shun expectantly.

what to do? Salad!

No matter how cruel Zhang Shun was, he could not kill all the Zhu clan in Nanyang. In that case, it would basically be no different from massacre.

Zhang Shun thought for a while and said, "If you run away, the monk can't escape from the temple. What are you afraid of?"

"Let him go and let him go. If you can't stop him, don't stop him. Make sure you get the palace's property, food, land deeds and other materials in your hands."

"The rest of the princes and county kings can catch as many as they want, so there is no need to be harsh."

"When the half-hearted people in the city escape, the remaining people will be the targets for us and the rebels to fight for."

"The people of the Zhu clan are extremely angry and the conflicts are sharp here, which is perfect for my use. I intend to divide their fields, mansions, soldiers and people as much as possible to prevent them from submitting to the imperial court!"

Xiao Qinhu was stunned when he heard this, and then responded after a while: "Your hands are really ruthless!"
