Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 819 He Jin’s decision

Zhu Dadian, the governor of water transportation and governor of Fengyang, was a typical official in the late Ming Dynasty. He had a typical problem of Ming Dynasty ministers-greed.

Later history books commented on his behavior after he became the governor of Fengyang: including taking financial bribes, depleting all the officials in the four houses, and people pretending that he was rich and an enemy of the country.

The original meaning of nanglu is bag, which was later extended to mean granary or granary. It means that when Zhu Dadian was the governor of Fengyang, he scraped the land very hard and wiped out all the property of Fengyang, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Luzhou and his subordinates. People speculated that this guy was as rich as the enemy.

Although there are elements of exaggeration, Zhu Dadian still "lives up to expectations" in this life. He was actually able to fight the rebels non-stop while conquering the four prefectures and three states, and accumulated a lot of wealth.

In addition to some of the items he carried around with him, there were also goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels stored in Huai'an, the governor's office in Fengyang.

Zhu Dadian was originally full of confidence, but as soon as the imperial army arrived, the thieves fell apart and disintegrated in an instant.

It was just today's battle that completely knocked the wind out of Zhu Dadian who was watching the battle in the city. He had to think about his future and make long-term plans for his descendants.

How did Zhang Shun know that this guy had so much drama in his heart in the city?

As Zhu Dadian expected, he originally planned to attack Weichuan City and capture Zhu Dadian alive after defeating the officers and cavalry.

As a result, the rebels had just cleared out the barbarians outside the city, and a messenger had already rushed back. Zhang Shun opened the letter and saw that it was the handwriting of He Jin, the "King of Zuo Jin".

After he, "horse kite" Li Fuchen and others pursued the officers and soldiers to the officers and soldiers camp outside Yuzhou City, they actually did not follow Zhang Shun's order to return.

Instead, they showed the spirit of beating up the drowned dog, joined forces with Li Xin, "Invading General" Li Zicheng, "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and others in Yuzhou City, and surrounded Henan Governor Fu Zonglong who had set up camp outside the city.

Zhang Shun just got the news and felt an unknown fire rising.

How dare he?

This is a blatant violation of your own orders and a challenge to your own authority!

The plan that he, Niu Jinxing and others had finally made was ruined by them going their own way. If everyone is like this and cannot enforce orders and prohibitions, then can the army still be called an army?

Just when Zhang Shun was about to get angry, he changed his mind and suddenly discovered that "King Zuo Jin" He Jin's approach was actually more reasonable than his original plan and could more safely resolve the military threat in eastern Henan.

You must know that his sworn brother Xiao Qinhu and his three concubines are still stationed in Nanyang. Now he doesn't know what happened to them.

You must know that if you delay for one more day here, they will need to hold on for one more day there. If anything happens, not only will the sworn brother and concubine die without a burial place, but more importantly, the south gate of their base will be opened wide.

If the buffer area finally obtained becomes a base for officers and soldiers to launch attacks, things will become troublesome.

The Central Plains has been a place of four battles since ancient times. The situation in Heluo is slightly better, and only the Eight Passes of Luoyang can be defended.

If we look at it in detail, it is actually surrounded by enemies in the southeast, northwest and northwest, so it is not an ideal base.

Whether it is Qin to the west, Jin to the north, Qilu, Bianxu to the east, or Huguang, Jingxiang to the south, they are all enough to crush Heluo.

Therefore, for Zhang Shun, the strategy of the rebel army is to attack, attack, and attack again. They must not sit back and watch the court gather its army for a crusade.

At this time, the Ming court's military mobilization capabilities were still there. According to Lu Weiqi, the court had quelled the She'an rebellion in the past few years, and had gathered 160,000 Han soldiers from Sichuan Province alone.

Although not all of them are as elite as Jiubian, if the imperial court is serious about it, the crowd alone will kill itself.

The reason why Zhang Shun repelled the attack of the officers and soldiers and began to conquer the east and west was because he was afraid that the noose tightened around his neck by the court would get tighter and one day he would be strangled to death.

"King Zuo Jin" He Jin's changes have indeed optimized his tactics, but the problem is also serious.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but sneered: "You He Jin, how dare you eat a bear's heart and become a leopard? You even dare to disobey this king's order!"

"King Shun?" Niu Jinxing was proficient in the art of war and obviously saw He Jin's thoughts, and couldn't help but hesitate to speak.

The messenger who came to deliver the letter couldn't help but be frightened when he saw Zhang Shun's expression. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun laughed again and said: "Since he is capable of shitting, why can't he wipe his butt?"

"The number of people is smaller than that of officers and soldiers, and yet they dare to take the initiative to attack other people's camps. This is a sign of great skill!"

It turned out that Fu Zonglong now had two battalions of infantry and two battalions of cavalry. Although they were quite damaged, they still exceeded those of Li Xin, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and He Jin.

It's just that because the officers, soldiers and cavalry were newly defeated, both men and horses were exhausted, so they had to retreat to the camp to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Zhang Shun also knew He Jin's intention of sending the envoy here, so he sighed and said: "Well, since this plan is not bad, let me help him!"

Niu Jinxing and Gao Guiying laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.

People who challenge the coach's authority like this usually don't end well. Fortunately, Zhang Shun has always been benevolent and tolerant, so he allowed He Jin and others to make their own decisions.

The two men were also afraid that the generals would be at odds and ruin the rebellion's affairs.

Zhang Shun is not mentally retarded, so how come he doesn’t know how to choose?

The key is that ordering and prohibiting is the discipline of the army and the source of combat effectiveness. Zhang Shun absolutely cannot encourage this trend.

So at this time, although Zhang Shun actually admired the "King of Zuo Jin" He Jin's decisiveness in "not accepting foreign military orders" in his heart, he still had to beat him to prevent others from imitating him casually.

These words were passed on to He Jin and others.

If you are willing to risk the punishment of disobeying military orders and change your plans on your own, you will have to bear the consequences.

If you win, you will be rewarded, if you lose, you will bear the responsibility. Only in this way will it not affect the circulation of military orders, but also be able to give full play to the subjective initiative of the generals below.

Zhang Shun sent out a wave of "from the air", and then ordered the entire army to march westward and rush to Yuzhou.

It didn't matter that he left. Zhu Dadian, the Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Fengyang, who had been brewing feelings for a long time in Weichuan City, was left alone on the city tower, and Zhang Yichuan, the "Sweeping King", was abandoned in Tongxu.

Of course, Zhang Shun would not just leave without mercy. He even sent a messenger to formally inform him: "The military situation has changed beyond my expectation. Now the situation is forcing me to lead my army back west to jointly attack Fu Zonglong." generation."

"You are a famous general in the world. You have fought with officers and soldiers for dozens of times without getting hurt. Although you are in a dangerous place now, you are not as good as when you were separatist Yinghuo."

"After I return to the west, you will fight if you can, and leave if you can't. In all matters, the whole army is the top priority. This should be regarded as a great achievement."

"Wei, Tong promised to take the remaining grain, grass and property for yourself. You must not leave them behind to help the enemy! When I defeat the enemy, you and I will have a drink to thank you for leaving without telling us today!"
