Please ask me to be the emperor

It turned out that after Chen Changzhen defeated Tongguan, the gateway to Guanzhong was wide open, and the rebels quickly began preparations to enter the pass.

After careful statistics, Zhang Shun learned that he now had 20 battalions of troops under his command, totaling more than 60,000 people.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 troops from Wei Zhiyou, 500 troops from Li Daliang who is stationed at Baodu Village, 200 troops from his own bodyguard, and 500 troops from the Second Artillery Regiment, which manages the artillery team.

Now that the rebel army is employing men and troops, it is not appropriate for Wei Zhiyou to remain idle any longer.

Zhang Shunsui ordered Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan to go with him to Yiyang and Yongning to recruit miners and young men to build a new battalion.

This Wei Zhiyou was originally a subordinate of Li Zicheng, the "crossing general". Later, after the rebels escaped from Mianchi across the river, he surrendered to He Fu, the magistrate of Song County.

Later, the rebel army attacked Song County again, and he, Liu Yuejiang, Fu Yuren and other scholars defected to the rebel army according to the order of He Fu, the magistrate of Song County.

When Zhang Shun passed through Song County, he "took" five hundred of his men and horses, so he later added a thousand "mao gourds" to him as compensation for the past.

It was just that at that time, his troops did not have veterans as the backbone, and they were not organized into a battalion, so Zhang Shun did not order him to go into battle.

Now that the rebel army was short of troops, Zhang Shun planned to "reuse" Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan in order to tie up Lu Xiangsheng, so he prepared to build a new battalion, called the Loyalty Battalion.

After teaching Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan some basic organization, training and military knowledge, Zhang sent them to follow Wei Zhiyou to Yiyang and Yongning.

These two people were young and energetic, eager to make contributions, and they were all delighted when they heard this.

Originally, Mrs. Lu and Lu Xiangsheng's wife, Mrs. Wang, had already settled in Prince Fu's Mansion, but they still had some doubts in their hearts.

When I saw these two boys happily packing up their bedding and preparing to set off, I couldn't help but asked strangely: "What are you going to do?"

"Thanks to my brother, King Shun gave us a good job, asking us to help recruit troops in Yiyang and Yongning. If we do well, we might even be able to lead a group of troops!" Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan said with a smile.

"Leading people and horses? What kind of people and horses are you taking?" Mrs. Lu couldn't help but said angrily, "If you have such leisure, why don't you quickly marry me a few wives and raise a few boys? It's serious!"

Her eldest son, Lu Xiangsheng, was enough to make her worry, but the second and third sons also made her worry less.

Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan were both in high spirits, so how could they have time to worry about her? It is just that King Shun ordered it, but there is no other way.

Mrs. Lu had no choice but to go to Li Sanniang. Li Sanniang couldn't resist, so she had to tell Zhang Shunyi.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Just recruiting some people, what's the point? Just tell her, if she really doesn't want Lu Xiangjin and Lu Xiangguan to lead the army, she can finish things later and stay with me as a clerk." "

Mrs. Lu felt relieved now, but she was afraid that Zhang Shun would cheat her, so she begged Zhang Shun to send a letter home to Lu Xiangsheng who was away on an "expedition".

Zhang Shunzheng didn't want it, so he quickly agreed.

After the four of them finished writing and sealed it with clay seals, Zhang came to visit Lu Xiangsheng with the letter.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't believe it. His mother, who had always taught him loyalty, now became a "second minister".

Zhang Shun also did not expect that Lu Xiangsheng's family members, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and the two brothers, wrote a total of four letters, but did not mention Lu Xiangsheng's "surrender" at all.

But when he thought about it carefully, it made sense.

As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, "subduing thieves" is not a glorious thing no matter how you say it.

He couldn't help but laugh and said: "General Lu doesn't know something. When I sent people to invite the old lady, I told her that General Lu had defected to King Fu and is now serving as the general of our rebel army in the northern expedition. He is begging for food and Ming Ni, so he came before!"

"You insidious and cunning villain!" Lu Xiangsheng heard this and his eyes were split open, almost wanting to bite someone.

He never expected that the "submissive thief" was so treacherous that instead of trying to persuade him to surrender, he "falsely surrendered" his own family first.

Zhang Shun was not angry when he heard this, but instead persuaded him nicely: "Liu Bowen was originally a minister of the Yuan Dynasty, but he had no choice but to submit to Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and he was given the title of Uncle Chengyi; Yuchi Jingde was originally a minister of the Sui Dynasty, and he surrendered first to Liu Wuzhou and then to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. Smoke Pavilion.”

"Both of these have changed their masters, and the world praises them! Why? Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty lost his virtue, and the whole world expelled him; Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was immoral, and the whole world rebelled against him. Both of them are like Zhou Jie, and the world hates him Of!"

"Therefore, if a loyal minister cares about the faint lord, it is said to be a helper of a tiger; if a capable minister is loyal to a tyrant, it is said to assist the tyrant and commit abuse!"

"I know that these two are worthy and loyal, and I dare not recruit them lightly. Therefore, I personally selected trusted people and traveled thousands of miles to invite their family members to serve as kings of fortune, in order to win their hearts."

"The King Fufu is also the bloodline of Shenzong and the direct eldest son of the country. Since Shenzong has passed away, the eldest son should be the emperor!"

"Why did the concubine Guangzong succeed to the throne, and the direct eldest son join the feudal vassal? This is because the princes in the court, Gonggun, abolished the public affairs for personal reasons, so they should be in trouble today!"

"Both of you are great talents in the world. If you can work with me to uphold the righteousness of the world, help the world's safety, and follow the example of Emperor Chengzu, you will surely be able to create a legacy for eternity and bring peace to all generations!"

Nima, I’ll leave you with all the good and bad things to say!

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but sneer and asked: "In that case, if the rebel army takes the capital north, can King Shun return power to King Fu?"

What you say is better than what you sing. Do you think I am a three-year-old and two-year-old child?

"Cough cough. Cough cough!" Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, heard this and coughed non-stop, as if he was suddenly infected with cold.

Lao Lu, it’s almost done. When the time comes, King Shun comes and says, "I am just following the wisdom of the great ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and King Xiao Ming in the past." How will you respond?

This is not our fault. If we are to blame, we can only blame Lao Zhu’s family for being unreasonable.

In the past, King Xiaoming drowned in Guazhou, and in the later period, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty "battle of Jingnan".

My family is full of flaws, how can I talk about it?

Sure enough, Zhang Shun said with a smile: "General Lu is overly worried. Prince Fu is the direct son of Shenzong, so why should he ascend the throne? How can Shun be so virtuous and capable? How come he refuses to return power to him?"

"I can also take care of Yi Yin and Huo Guang's affairs! When the imperial court finally decides, the world will be at peace. I am willing to serve as a general to conquer the west, crusade against the barbarians in the Western Regions, and restore the old lands of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

"If King Fu can take care of his old kindness and let the Zhang family rule the Western Regions forever, just like Mu Ying did in the past, I will be happy enough!"

Zhang Shun's words were both true and false, and what he said was clear and logical. Lu Xiangsheng had nothing to say when he heard what he said.

Originally, Lu Xiangsheng thought that Zhang Shun was trying to trick him with lies.

What he said now is clear and logical, and he has a purpose, steps, and plan to execute this matter.

Even how to avoid the emperor's suspicion after the event is completed has been clearly arranged, and it seems to be true.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but stare at him and said: "I hope you can remember what I said today in the future!"

It’s the last day of August, please vote for me! ! !
