Please ask me to be the emperor

Since Zhang Shun left Nanyang, Tang Hui, governor of Huguang, became arrogant again.

The only soldiers capable of fighting in Nanyang City were Xiao Qinhu's Tiger Battalion. The rest of the newly recruited "Mao Gourds" can defend the city, but the recruited men can only do some patrolling and transporting supplies.

Tang Hui gathered together the 5,000 closed-door cavalry of You Shiwei and Zhang Waijia, and the 9,000 men of Xu Chengming, You Zhaiwen and their governor Biaoying, for a total of 14,000 people. With a five-fold advantage in strength, they surrounded Nanyang City. Airtight.

Among them, You Zhaiwen attacked the north gate; Xu Chengming attacked the south gate; Huguang Governor Tang Hui led the Biao Battalion to attack the south gate; deputy general Zhang Waijia led two thousand closed-door cavalry to wander on the banks of the Baihe River, monitoring the movement of the east gate; chief military officer You Shi Wei led three thousand closed-door cavalry as a surprise force and stationed behind the camp of Huguang Governor Tang Huibiao.

It turned out that Xiao Qinhu suddenly led his elite troops out of the city at night and went straight to Tang Huibiao's camp. They rushed to the Chinese army's tent and were so frightened that Tang Hui and the king of Tang rolled and crawled to avoid its sharp attack.

However, the Nanyang prefect, who followed the Tang king and attached himself to the governor of Huguang, did not dodge in a hurry. He was caught by Xiao Qinhu, had his head chopped off, and hung on the Nanyang city gate.

Nowadays, in addition to the Nanyang magistrate, there are still the heads of various princes, chief officials and other people of the Tang Dynasty on the Nanyang City Gate. There are twenty or thirty heads in total.

In the past, these were figures who would make Nanyang City tremble when they sneezed. Now, their noble heads are hung neatly at the city gate, like hanging tassels, making people feel bloody and luxurious.

The governor of Huguang, who had learned a lesson after suffering a loss, was afraid that his and Prince Tang's heads would also become "decorations" in Nanyang City, so he quickly ordered the powerful general You Shiwei to lead the closed-door cavalry to help out, and he felt relieved.

These three thousand cavalry are more appropriately said to be the escorts of Huguang Governor Tang Hui and Tang King Zhu Yujian than a reserve force of officers and soldiers.

After finally stabilizing the situation, King Zhu Yujian of the Tang Dynasty said with lingering fear: "Such a tiger general is really Guan Zhang Fu and Xin Bu reborn. But the court cannot use it. This is the cabinet dereliction of duty!"

"Your Highness, Prince Tang, be careful what you say!" Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, quickly looked around and reminded in a low voice, "This is beyond the words of a human minister!"

Although Tang Wang Zhu Yujian belonged to the Zhu clan, after all, the emperor and his ministers were different. Some words should be said, and some words should not be said.

When Zhu Yujian heard this, he quickly apologized and said, "What Fu Jun said is true. I made a mistake!"

One tried to test by pretending to be unintentional, while the other spoke righteously and ruthlessly refuted it. In just a few words, a major incident was eliminated.

After a long silence, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian sighed and asked: "Nanyang City is so strong that it cannot be broken in more than a month. What can be done?"

Of course, thanks to Zhu Yujian's thick skin, he would not have been able to say this anyway.

Nanyang City was not able to hold on for even a day under Zhang Shun's surprise attack. How could it be said that Nanyang City was strong?

Fortunately, Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was thick-skinned, and Huguang Governor Tang Hui was even thicker-skinned.

He responded righteously: "Since ancient times, attacking a city has been a last resort. In the past, Hao Zhao guarded Chencang and Cao Zixiao guarded Fancheng. If you are not a Marquis of Wu or Guan Sheng, you don't have to use all your strength. It is really destiny and beyond the reach of human power!"

Good guy, you led an army about five times the size of the thieves to besiege the city, and were even beaten into the Chinese army's tent by the enemy. How could you have the nerve to touch the porcelain Wu Hou Zhuge Liang and Wu Sheng Guan Yunchang?

Just how heartless do you think you are? Just now you dared to test whether he had the intention to help you? Although Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was not familiar with the art of war, he still couldn't help but secretly complain about this person.

After Tang Hui finished speaking, he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to use "fate" to fool him. He then decided to let Tang Wang Zhu Yujian know a little bit about him, so that he would not have other ideas, which would make everyone look bad.

Tang Hui then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Prince Tang. The only thing thieves rely on is the city."

"I have ordered people to bring ten red cannons of three thousand kilograms, and they will arrive in a few days. This thing is a Western artifact. It sounds like a thunderbolt and is indestructible."

"With only a few dozen rounds, a copper wall and an iron wall will be reduced to powder, but what about bricks and stones?"

Although Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, laughed loudly, he was actually frightened in private and could not sleep peacefully.

In addition to worrying about Xiao Qinhu's surprise attack, he was even more worried about the court holding him accountable for falling into the hands of the vassal king.

Governor of Huguang, full name: Governor of Huguang and other places, and also oversees military affairs. As the name suggests, he is in charge of the military affairs of Huguang. Logically speaking, he has nothing to do with Henan.

However, exceptions must be made in everything.

During the Chenghua period in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, due to land annexation and population growth, the areas originally banned by the Ming court ranged from the Qinling Mountains in the north, to the Daba Mountains in the south, and to the Xiong'er Mountains in the east, spanning the mountains of Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and Huguang. One and a half million refugees.

The imperial court appointed the imperial censor Xiang Zhong to engage in many killings, but he could not stop them. The Huguang Administrative Office is far away from Wuchang, so troops are often not sent out in time.

The imperial court then appointed the governor of Yunyang to divide the jurisdiction of Shaanxi, Henan and Huguang into five counties, eight prefectures, nine states and sixty-five counties to control the refugees.

There are many cuts and restorations in the middle. In particular, Huguang had the largest jurisdiction among them. The imperial court generally believed that the governor of Yunyang had the power of the governor of Huguang and had a certain subordinate relationship with him.

This is one of the reasons why after Yunyang Governor Lu Xiang was promoted to office, he had no money and no salary, so he often asked for help from Huguang Governor Tang Hui.

Among them, Nanyang Fuhe was unfortunately placed under the jurisdiction of Governor Yunyang.

What's even more unfortunate is that the scapegoat Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, was captured alive by the "thief woman" with a fishing net when he was trying to die in the northward expedition. His life and death are now unknown.

So this matter is very delicate. The land of Henan has lost the vassal king of Henan, but he, the governor of Huguang, is somewhat inseparable from it.

If that's all, that's it. Since Governor Yunyang is not here anyway, the blame can be put on his head, or he can argue with Fu Zonglong, the governor of Henan.

But the key was when the officers and soldiers attacked Nanyang City, Xiao Qinhu, who had always been honest, listened to Zhang Shun's crooked plan and actually openly made a pot to take advantage of him, Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang.

Tang Hui commanded his troops to attack the city, and Xiao Qinhu ordered his men to kill King Fushan on the spot. He claimed that because Tang Hui, the governor of Huguang, attacked the city without caring about the life and death of the clan in the city, he was truly unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust. Then kill this king to make the world famous!

The governor of Huguang, Tang Hui, was so angry that he almost wanted to scold his mother on the spot. He had no choice but to ask Tang Wang Zhu Yujian: "Your Highness, the thief is threatening me with the clan, what should I do?"

Zhu Yujian is not stupid, and of course he will not take the blame for him.

Therefore, the king of Tang reprimanded him righteously: "The country has been raising scholars for three hundred years to govern our people. As a high official in the border area, you should be rewarded if you appoint someone. How can you ask me about someone who is not diligent in the six body parts and does not distinguish the five grains?" The truth?"

Ma Maipi! Tang Hui was so angry that he almost jumped. I regained Nanyang for you, and this is how you repay me?

It's no longer possible, we really can't fight, so withdraw!

Good guy, Xiao Qinhu beheaded King Yancheng on the city again, claiming: "I heard that a truly loyal and righteous person, even his enemies will praise him; a disloyal and unjust person, even his enemies will despise him."

"Although Xiao is a man from the mountains, he still knows his loyalty. I can't bear to see Tang Hui, the dignified governor of Huguang, so degenerate and abandoning the imperial family."

"That's why I killed the King of Yancheng to warn him, and I hope he will do more harm than good!"
