Please ask me to be the emperor

This 300 is also for people who do things, and do whatever comes to mind.

While he wrote to Zhang Shun, asking to send "River God" Huang Shoucai to help him, he began to secretly collect wood and boats in preparation for a big fight.

At that time, Zhang Shun, in the spirit of "beating a child on a rainy day, is also idle when you are idle", sent Huang Shoucai and others who had nothing to do, fishing and drying nets every day.

In addition to receiving their monthly salary on time, Huang Shoucai and his naval officers could also fish to supplement their family income. They were living a happy life, where did they want to go?

It was just a matter of "eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor", so they had to pack their luggage and set off on the road in accordance with military orders.

Since there is no waterway connecting Luoyang to Xiangcheng, Huang Shoucai's ships cannot sail there.

He could only select dozens of backbones and traveled overland with him to Xiangcheng.

When Huang Shoucai arrived, Zhang Sanbai had already collected fifty or sixty ships of various colors.

"How's it going? You can leave at any time, right?" Zhang Sanbai smiled proudly at Huang Shoucai.

"If General Zhang just wants to transport a person, he can just recruit the boatmen directly. Why should I, Huang Shoucai, come all the way to support him?" Huang Shoucai said solemnly.

"Oh?" Zhang Sanbai was stunned and quickly asked for advice, "But he is ignorant and makes people laugh. Zhang is willing to hear the details and please teach me!"

Huang Shoucai changed from a man who was proficient in water conservancy to a naval general, and he had some experience.

He couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said: "As the saying goes, 'a boat in the south and a horse in the north' means both speed and carrying capacity."

"Both ships and horses are faster than infantry, so their battle defense relies on bows, arrows, muskets and artillery."

"However, ships and horses are different. Horses can travel on land while ships can travel on water. Therefore, as long as there is flat ground, war horses can reach it. If there is no current, war ships cannot pass. This war ship is not as good as war horses."

"But the war horse is weak and can only carry one person and one armor. Even if it is used to pull a cart, it is not as strong as a thousand catties."

"This is not the case with warships, which can range from a thousand catties to tens of thousands of catties. Therefore, if you use ships to carry people and ships to carry guns, you will be invincible."

"I intend to build a gunboat specifically for firing cannons, a paddle boat specifically for jumping gangs, and a cargo ship specifically for carrying people and cargo, and transporting troops and equipment. What do you think, general?"

"Okay, that's fine, just as Mr. Zhang said!" Zhang Sanbai didn't understand the method of water warfare, so he simply entrusted all matters to the "River God" Huang Shoucai.

Huang Shoucai received Zhang Sanbai's authorization and began to build ships, install artillery, and hire sailors and boatmen.

After working hard for more than a month, I managed to form a navy.

It is said to be a navy, but in fact, except for thirty or forty combat ships, the rest are all transport ships converted from cargo ships.

After everything was ready, Zhang Sanbai quickly sent a letter to Zhang Shun, preparing to march by land and water to seize the city of Yan, which was as fierce as a tiger.

It's just that at that time, Zhang Shun's entire strategic focus was on Nanyang and Shaanxi, so how could he be willing to attack eastward?

Zhang applied several times to no avail, so he had to secretly write a letter to his sister Ma Yingniang, hoping that she would be able to blow her pillow off.

At that time, Ma Yingniang was sharing the same hatred with Zhang Shun's other wives, protesting that Zhang Shun had taken in Zeng Huang and the four daughters of the Zhu family. How could she be in the mood to care about him?

As a result, Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but feel a little depressed after working in vain for a month or two and using nothing.

Huang Shoucai couldn't get used to the fish here, so he asked Zhang Sanbai to let him return to Luoyang.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Sanbai suggested again: "Since King Shun does not allow me to send troops, these ships cannot be wasted."

"Now that the rebel army is in its infancy and is extremely short of supplies, why don't Mr. Huang lead this fleet and do some small business?"

"Firstly, I can get familiar with the waterways here, and secondly, I can earn some pocket money for the brothers!"

"Is this... is this possible?" Huang Shoucai always felt that this was a bit of a public tool for private use.

"Why not? We built this navy by ourselves, and we chose to build this ship. Even if King Shun comes in person, he can't even say no!" Zhang Sanbai relied on his sister Ma Yingniang to gain favor, so he No matter what Zhang Shun's plan is, he must get things done first.

"Okay, that's fine!" Huang Shoucai couldn't help but nodded when he heard this. Anyway, the lord's uncle will be responsible for everything. What are you afraid of?

It turns out that Xiangcheng also happens to have a wharf. Although it is not as good as Nanyang Sheqi Town and Wuyang Beiwudu, it can be regarded as a transfer station for the distribution of goods from Ruzhou to Ying and Huaihe Rivers.

It is not impossible to sail up the Ru River from Xiangcheng. However, droughts and floods are uncertain, and the river water suddenly becomes more and less. Secondly, from the Locust Gecko Pond in Erligou, northwest of Xiangcheng, the water flows rapidly, and there is a risk of overturning.

It happened that Ruzhou was under the rule of Li Xin, and the two men immediately took over several shipments of goods destined for Zhou's store, and made a small profit.

On this day, another grain was transferred from Zhoujiadian in Chenzhou to Xiangcheng, so Huang Shoucai led the fleet to transport it back.

When Zhang Sanbai found out, he had an idea and wrote another letter to persuade King Shun.

Unexpectedly, before his letter was delivered, Zhang Sanbai received Zhang Shun's order first.

Zhang Sanbai and Huang Shoucai opened it in surprise and saw that it read: Zhang Sanbai and Jiang He went down the Shahe and Yinghe rivers respectively, and met at Zhoujiadian, and then attacked Yingzhou with great fanfare, hoping to capture it. The power of Fengyang!

"Okay, okay, it's finally time for me, Zhang Sanbai, to be in his early years!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but said with great joy, "Mr. Huang, no, I should be called Admiral Huang now. I order you to prepare everything as soon as possible. Within three days, I will Lead the land and water troops to capture the city of Yan!"

"Why attack Yancheng?" Huang Shoucai asked strangely after hearing this.

"Of course it's to advance eastward?" Zhang Sanbai was confused and thought, "Are you deliberately trying to find trouble?"

Unexpectedly, Huang Shoucai smiled and said: "The general doesn't know something. In fact, although Mengruhu is stationed in Yancheng, he doesn't care about the ships on the water."

"Since King Shun only ordered us to capture Yingzhou, why bother?"

"That's what Mr. Huang said!" Zhang Sanbai was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's really true!"

Immediately, Zhang Sanbai simply did not stop. After arranging his troops, they all hid in Huang Shoucai's navy. They crossed Lincheng quietly at night and went straight to Zhoujiadian along the Shahe and Yinghe rivers.

This week's store is roughly located at Yingqikou where Zhang Shun took the boat, but it is a better ferry.

This Zhoujiadian is located at the intersection of three tributaries of the Jialu River, Ying River, and Shah River, which eventually formed the famous Zhoukou Town in later history.

In the Qing Dynasty, it once replaced the famous Zhuxian Town and became the first commercial town in Henan.

Although Zhoukou Town now has mature docks, shops and other commercial town prototypes with the help of its geographical location, it has not yet developed, and there is no garrison. Zhang Sanbai easily captured this place.

It's just that Jiang He is not as convenient as Zhang Sanbai, and he is still marching on the road.

I waited left and right, but Jiang He was nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Sanbai simply pulled Huang Shoucai and said: "Soldiers know that they are clumsy and quick, and they don't have to bet on luck for a long time!"

"Since our army has won by surprise and captured Zhoujiadian, why not go down the river and capture Yingzhou in one go?"

Huang Shoucai was immediately shocked by the audacity of this guy. He couldn't help but persuade him: "Yingzhou is the gateway to Fengyang, and there are Yingzhou guards stationed there. How can we do it suddenly?"

"If we attack the fortified city, it will be a small matter if we lose our lives, but it will be a big deal if we destroy King Shun!"

Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but feel unhappy when he heard this: "I've heard that people who are good at water drown, but I've never heard of the river god refusing to go into the water."

"Why don't you discipline yourself because of danger, but only use it to admonish others?"

"Then if Yingzhou is indeed prepared, even if Jiang He joins forces with me, it won't be enough. If Yingzhou is unprepared, my battalion is enough, so why borrow others' strength?"

In Yingzhou City, the rebels had already prepared ships and sailed down the river to capture the city.

Only when the Yingzhou magistrate, Tongpan and Yingzhou Guard Commander were escorted to the lobby by the rebel soldiers to wait for Zhang Sanbai's interrogation, all the officials still couldn't believe that they and others were being raped by "thousands of miles away" "The thief" has been captured!
