Please ask me to be the emperor

I asked you that your return date has not yet been announced. The night rain in Bashan swells the autumn pond!

Zhang Shun opened the letter in his hand, and a scent of fragrance hit his nostrils, but in the signature of the letter, there was a meaningful word "fragrance" written on it.

Only Li Xiang, who was familiar with poetry and books, could write such an elegant and sentimental letter.

Four people, Zeng, Huang and Zhu, stood behind Zhang Shun, looking at him with their slender snow-white necks stretched out like swans.

"What are you peeking at?" Zhang Shun asked without looking back.

"Tch, who cares?" Mrs. Zeng couldn't help but muttered after hearing this, "I just know a few words, it seems like no one can!"

"You're right!" Zhang Shun turned around, responded with a smile, and then put the letter into his arms.

This dog man! Mr. Zeng's face turned green. How could he be so nice to a wild woman who didn't know where she came from?

The slightly older Huang glanced at Zeng and Xiao Zhu who looked unhappy, smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, are you leaving?"

As you mentioned before, if you want to take us back to Luoyang, the dignified King Shun will not keep his word, right?

"Let's go together!" Zhang Shun decided the matter and said, "I don't worry about leaving you here. If the officers and soldiers attack, I will feel sorry for anyone who is injured."

"Instead of doing this, it's better to go back to Luoyang and feel at ease!"

"We don't have any objections. Marry a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. We will follow King Shun wherever he goes. It's just... I just don't know that the sisters in Luoyang can't tolerate us!" Little Zhu burst into tears. His appearance makes me feel pity for him.

Don't say you're worried, in fact I'm worried too!

Of course, Zhang Shun knew how he was hated by others for his virtue of "not seeing anyone for three months after separation, but when he came back, his sisters would be together again", he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But as a man, you can't say no.

He held on and said: "Your sisters are all graceful, generous, virtuous and kind-hearted. How can you mind such a trivial matter? Just keep it in your mind."

It didn't matter if Zhang Shun didn't say anything. When he said this, all the girls looked worried.

Or do women know women best? Which woman wants her man to have three wives and four concubines?

What "graceful, generous, virtuous and virtuous" is all nonsense to deceive men!

Since even King Shun, who was known to be very discerning, was deceived by him, he must be a high-ranking person.

Oh, woman! Let me reveal your hypocritical face and let King Shun know who is truly good to him!

The four women looked at each other and said nothing.

Poor Zhang Shun has long forgotten the teachings of his English teacher in his previous life, that one woman is equal to five hundred ducks.

How can it be good if he takes two thousand ducks home now?

After chatting for a while, Zhang Shun decided to adjust Nanyang's deployment after returning to Luoyang.

In addition to Ren Jirong of the "Children's Camp", Xiao Qinhu also had He Yilong, the "Leather Eye", Liu Xiyao, the "World King", and Wu Xian, who later joined him.

Since Zhang Shun is going to let him guard Nanyang, he must be equipped with a complete team of personnel.

Ren Jirong was too young and was not suitable to serve in the same position as his brother Ren Guangrong.

Zhang Shun decided to promote him to his side and continue to lead the children's camp, and promoted Zhang Yichuan, the "sweeping king", Liu Xiyao, Ren Guangrong and Wu Xian, the "king of the world" to the rank of commander-in-chief respectively.

Among them, there are more than 2,000 people under Zhang Yichuan's command, and he is going to ask Xiao Qinhu to replenish him with 1,000 new "raised gourds" to garrison Xinye to guard against the Huguang soldiers.

Both Liu Xiyao and Ren Guangrong used their subordinate troops as the skeleton and expanded them to a battalion, stationed in Dengzhou and Tang County, so as to support Xinye at any time and take care of the newly recruited Mao Hulu family members.

Wu Xian, on the other hand, commanded a newly expanded battalion to seize Xichuan and stationed it here to monitor the movements near Yunyang and Shangluo, and to maintain and integrate Huanglong's contacts with the "Thirteen Families Shaking Huang".

After Xiao Qinhu lost his four chiefs, Ren Jirong, Liu Xiyao, He Yilong and Wu Xian, he had only one department under his command.

Zhang Shun transferred the 500 men and horses left by Huang Long to him, and recruited more than 1,000 Mao Hulu men.

Another thousand cavalrymen were separated and led by He Yilong, the "Leather Eye", under Xiao Qinhu's command to make up for the lack of mobility of the armies.

In this way, Xiao Qinhu had five battalions with more than 15,000 troops. Among them, there are three pure infantry battalions, Xiao Qinhubiao battalion and Zhang Yichuan's reinforced battalion with one thousand cavalry each, which are enough to deal with threats from all sides.

As for the civil servants and military advisors who worked with Xiao Qinhu, after much deliberation, Zhang Shun had no choice but to reluctantly leave Niu Jinxing behind.

Niu Jinxing was quite talented and was familiar with Sun Wu's art of war. Zhang Shun always wanted to keep him by his side to do things.

However, firstly, there was a serious shortage of talents and manpower in the rebel army; secondly, Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi, who were beside Zhang Shun, were important ministers of the Ming Dynasty. They were quite experienced and good at practical matters.

If he couldn't make up his mind to give Niu Jinxing a try, he would eventually be unable to match the sophistication and calmness of these two people.

What's more, Runing Guo Sanhai, Liu Hongqi, Shen Wandeng and others still need Niu Jinxing to contact them, so they have to keep this person.

After the plan was decided, Zhang called Niu Jinxing to tell him all about his plans, and then said: "Sir, you are a great talent. I wish I could listen to your teachings sooner or later."

"However, strong generals must be promoted from soldiers, and leaders must start from prefectures and counties. I don't want to delay my husband's future because of this, so that I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"Please sir, please lend a helping hand to my sworn brother. Once the south is decided, it won't be too late for you to join the center again!"

When Niu Jinxing heard this, he realized that Zhang Shun's words revealed too much information. How could he be unhappy?

Originally, the central government of the Ming Dynasty had the principle that "non-Jinshi will not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet."

Unlike later generations who had to have grassroots and local work experience to enter the central government, the elders of the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to have local work experience.

This also led to the formulation of central policies in the Ming Dynasty that was often full of bookishness and wishful thinking.

Limited to issues that he did not understand about the relevant systems, Zhang Shun's thinking still stayed under the standard of later generations that "without investigation, there is no right to speak", and without practice, there is no deep understanding.

Therefore, his criteria for promoting talents are very simple. Regardless of whether civil or military officials, they will be promoted to trial after a period of experience.

If the performance is good, they will be promoted if there is an opportunity; if the performance is not good, they will either continue training or be dismissed and demoted.

He never trusts anyone who "knows it from birth". If you haven't seen it before, you haven't seen it. If you haven't experienced it, you haven't experienced it. No matter how great your ability is, you still have to do it step by step.

When Niu Jinxing saw that Zhang Shun had even leaked the criteria for promoting central ministers to him, he couldn't help but burst into tears of gratitude and look excited.

He quickly kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to Zhang Shun, thanking Zhang Shun for his training and promotion. Zhang Shun was shocked and thought to himself: What is this guy doing?

After everything was arranged, Zhang Shun prepared drinks, invited Xiao Qinhu to take a seat and said, "I will return to Luoyang tomorrow, so I can't accompany my sworn brother."

"After the separation, there is not much else to say. First, we must handle the matter of dividing the land well, and we must not let the subordinate officials and cunning people ruin the big thing; second, we must guard the door and try not to fight casually, so as not to involve the Holy Emperor. lose."

"If you have anything to write to your sister-in-law, I can also help you..."

Zhang Shunzheng was talking enthusiastically, but Xiao Qinhu quickly stretched out his hand and refused: "Stop it, stop it! If you really want to do me good, it's better to stay away from your sister-in-law!"

"Why is this?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but be stunned.

"My dear brother has been getting married women a lot lately, and I feel uneasy!" Xiao Qinhu said with a look of disgust.
