please make me king

Chapter 1004 The Diehard Loyalist
"Oh? I don't know what happened to King Shun?" Hong Chengchou and Song Xiance couldn't help asking quickly.

The two spoke fluently, and they were used to calling Zhang Shunsun King, and they also expressed their closeness, so they were not used to changing their pronouns to "Qin King".

Zhang Shun has always been magnanimous, but he didn't care too much about it.

"I want to persuade everyone in Yulin Town to surrender, why not?" Zhang Shun couldn't help looking at Hong Chengchou and said.

"This..." Hong Chengchou pondered for a while when he heard the words, and couldn't help but respond, "This matter can only be tried, and I can't guarantee it!"

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but wonder.

"Now Xi'an Prefecture is under my control, Gansu is empty, Lintao and Guyuan are dilapidated, and only the two towns of Ningxia and Yansui are complete."

"Now Ningxia Zhenzu Dabi and Guihua City Dorgon are all gone. There are no reinforcements outside Yansui, and there is no food for long-term food inside. If they refuse to surrender, what will they do?"

Hong Chengchou had served as the governor of Yansui, so he had a good understanding of this place, and he responded: "If King Shun wants to recruit an official, it will be easy, but if he wants to surrender Yulin, it will be difficult."

"The land of Yansui is located in northern Shaanxi. It has been a place for soldiers since ancient times. Famous generals have emerged in large numbers, and the folk customs are sturdy."

"Since the Ming Dynasty, Yansui Town was established, under the jurisdiction of Yulin, Suide, Yan'an and Qingyang Four Guards."

"At the beginning, it was named Xiongzhen, and then it was heard as a general. Veteran martial arts generals are outstanding from generation to generation."

"There are countless people who have been promoted to rank, and there are countless people who have been kind to their descendants. And among the four guards, Yulin is the head."

"Among them, there are names and surnames, who have been generals for generations. There are seven families of Jiang, Wang, Du, You, Xiao, and Zhang, named 'Yulin Qimen'."

Hearing this, Zhang Shun counted with his fingers, and couldn't help but wondered: "As we all know, there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings. But why are there only six of the seven gates of Yulin? Did Mr. Hong miss one family?"

"Because there are two families of generals in the Wang family. One is the family of Wang Baowang Taishi, and the other is the family of Wang Wei and Wang Zhuguo, so there are seven families and six surnames, and the names are all over Yulin!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help complaining that Zhang Shun was good at arithmetic. Grab the point at once.

"These families are not only married for generations, but also stationed in various towns."

"For example, the three generals of the You family, You Shigong, You Shiwei, and You Shilu, plus the clan members You Jixian, You Zhaiwen, and You Zhaiyuan, a total of six generals."

"And the Zhang family also has three heroes: Zhang Quanchang, Zhang Yingchang and Zhang Daochang."

"As for Wang Zhuguo's family, there are Wang Shiqin, Wang Shiguo, Wang Shilu, Wang Shiren, Wang Shixi, Wang Shixuan, Wang Shixian, Wang Hong, Wang Pu and other generals!"

Good guy, this Hong Chengchou is like a stand-up comic, talking about the nine serving generals of the Wang family in one breath, leaving Zhang Shunzhen speechless for a long time.

If this Yulin Wang family rebelled, I am afraid that the whole world will be shocked by it, right?

Hong Chengchou talked for a long time before Zhang Shun realized what it meant.

Emotional Yulin generals are distributed all over the Ming Dynasty as generals. Countless people served as commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and joined the army.

In fact, not to mention Zhang Shun, even though Li Zicheng swept Shaanxi in history, the situation in Yulin was more critical than it is now, and Yulin has not been seen to be lowered to "breakthrough generals".

What virtue and ability did Zhang Shun have to surrender Yulin generals with empty talk and white teeth?
"Let's do this!" Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "I'll write a letter first, and then see the Yansui Governor Zhang Shenghai first, and see how he behaves first!"

"By the way, Zhao Guangyuan, under King Shun's command, is also from Yulin. He should have contacts with other generals, and he can also communicate privately."

"Okay!" It was almost better than nothing, but Zhang Shun didn't have a good solution, so he could only nod helplessly.

It turns out that there are about [-] soldiers and horses in Yansui Town. Excluding the soldiers and horses scattered in Sanshiliubao, Suide, Yan'an and other places, there are also [-] soldiers and horses.

And Zuo Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, also brought [-] defeated soldiers, and there were almost [-] defenders in the city.

And all the generals in Yulin are proficient in the art of war, and there are nearly a thousand elite members of their family, so it is really difficult to conquer in a hurry.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but sighed, already planning to make two-handed preparations.

If it doesn't work, we can only rely on the advantage of the rebel army's strength and artillery to slowly wear it down!

"This..." Song Xiance looked at Zhang Shun's tightly furrowed brows, and suggested without hesitation, "If King Shun is trustworthy, I'd rather go to Yulin City, and say for King Shun to surrender to this city without bloodshed!"

"No, I can't believe it!" Zhang Shun quickly waved his hands, thinking: Good guy, what do you think you are, a nagging guy?
The forces in Yulin City are intricate, and almost all of them are from the military. Everyone can go to battle and kill the enemy. Why did you sneak in?

I'm afraid it wasn't because someone recognized you as the "Great Master of the King of Qin" and then gave you a "white knife in and red knife out", and you lost your wealth and life for nothing.

"Thank you for His Highness King Shun's care!" What kind of person Song Xiance is, how could he not know that Zhang Shun was doing this for his own good?

He couldn't help laughing and said: "His Royal Highness King Shun is too worried. As the saying goes, when two armies are at war, the envoy will not be beheaded."

"Pimpedao's wealth and life are not tied to his thoughts, but to the mighty soldiers of King Shun."

"As long as King Shun is in formation outside the city, even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair, how can I, someone from Song, not break into it?"

"From my point of view, the reason why Yulin Town is unwilling to surrender is nothing more than the fact that it is deeply intertwined with the forces of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be separated."

"When I enter Yulin City, instead of proclaiming my strength, even if I can't say that I will surrender to this city, at least I will be able to retreat completely!"

This?Can this be done?

If it wasn't because of you, I'm afraid I was still farming in Zhangjiazhuang, Chenzhou. How could I have the status I have today?
Zhang Shun was grateful for Song Xiance's kindness in "enlightenment" in the past, and he didn't want him to go deep into the enemy's town and take such a strange risk.

The persuasion was tight, Song Xiance couldn't help but said anxiously: "Although the old Taoist has the merits of following the dragon, in fact, it's just a godsend talking."

"Now I have enjoyed the worship of King Shun for a long time. If I don't make a career, but sit on an equal footing with other hardworking people, how can I convince the public?"

"I'll go now, King Shun don't read it!"

"If it was killed by the officers and soldiers, it was my destiny to be in such a catastrophe. King Shun only missed a sorcerer; if I really said that I should surrender to this city, it should be the fate of King Shun, and my achievements will be improved. Please also King Shun, don't stop him!"

At this point, Zhang Shun had nothing to say, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The story is divided into two parts, let's not talk about what happened in the camp of the rebels first, let's talk about Yulin City being besieged by the rebels, fighting hard for days, the city has already been shrouded in a tragic and inexplicable atmosphere.

"Shiqin, how's it going outside?" Wang Shiguo asked a little out of breath as he sat there.

His father was Wang Wei, the Grand Master of the Great Ming Zhu Kingdom, who had "nine wearing general seals and served as a township for fifty years", and his family was the most prominent family among generals in Yulin.

And he himself once served as the chief soldier of the Xuanfu, and added the crown prince Shaobao, so he was loyal to state affairs and did not dare to slack off.

"Not very good!" Wang Shiqin couldn't help but shook his head when he heard the words, "'Shun Bandit' first occupied Ningxia General Soldier Zu Dabi, and then retreated to the Golden Banner Lord Dorgon. There was no difference in momentum for a while."

"In addition, the cannons of that generation were so sharp that they would shatter stones when struck. Now there is no food and grass in Yulin City, and no reinforcements outside. People in the city are panicked, and I fear that Yulin City will be difficult to defend!"

"If it is difficult to defend, you must defend it. My Wang family has been loyal to the country for generations. I must not learn from the world and choose to surrender to the Tartars, so that the family will be ashamed!"

"Don't worry, brother!" Wang Shiqin nodded and said, "I also served as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty successively. How can I surrender the thief?"

"Tomorrow I plan to continue to visit the generals, and persuade them to spend their wealth to feed the warriors, and personally lead the family to ward off thieves."

The two brothers were discussing military affairs, and a servant could not help but report: "Report, there is a priest outside, who claims to be the second general's old friend."

"Today I came here specially to ask to see the Second General. I don't know if the Second General will see you or not?"

"See you, see you, what time is it now, how can you be free to see an old friend?" Wang Shiqin waved his hands impatiently when he heard the words, and was about to ask his servants to send the visitor away.

"Forget it, forget it, you have a bad temper!" Wang Shiguo couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Let's talk for half a day, even if we talk about flowers, we won't be able to solve the siege of Yulin."

"Instead of that, why don't you see who this old man is, so let's relax!"
