please make me king

Chapter 1021 The Great Earthquake

"Yulin has surrendered?" Shanxi governor Wu Zhen couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, Yulin has surrendered!" Although Hu Dawei also had an expression of disbelief, he still repeated it affirmatively.

"How is this possible?" Wu Tong couldn't help but look dull, looking lost.

"That Zhang Bojing is not an incompetent person. Even if the tens of thousands of elites under his command can't defeat the thieves, they won't even be unable to defend the city!"

It turned out that since Zhang Shun led the main force to go northward, the governor of Shanxi Wu Sheng had been unable to attack Tongguan for a long time, and he was worried that Zhang Shun would follow the example of the old days and cross the Yellow River into Shanxi.

He had no choice but to lead Shanxi General Soldier Wang Zhong and Deputy Chief Soldier to Shanxi as fierce as a tiger, preparing to defend against the rebels who might cross the river at any time.

It's just that Shanxi soldiers failed to break through Jindou Pass and had to detour to cross the river, which delayed a lot of time.

As a result, Zhang Shun shot a feint on the west bank of the Yellow River, directly smashed through Fuzhou, Yan'an, Suide and other places, and directly besieged Yulin City, which made Wu Sheng go along the east bank of the Yellow River for nothing.

While heaving a sigh of relief, Shanxi governor Wu Sheng couldn't help but feel angry after being teased.

What a thief, how cunning and cunning!
Since you dared to transfer me from Henan, aren't you afraid that I will lead my troops to flank you with the soldiers and horses of Yansui Town?
Thinking of this, Shanxi Governor Wu Tong led Wang Zhong and Meng Ruhu all the way to the north.

Originally, he planned to wait for the "Shun Bandits" to settle their troops under the strong city of Yulin, and then he would lead Shanxi Town's elite to cross the Yellow River and raid behind the "Shun Bandits".

As a result, he never expected that when the army had just arrived in Fenzhou Prefecture, it would receive the news of "Yulin's surrender"
A mouthful of old blood almost spewed out of Wu Chen's throat. I haven't rushed to the place yet, why did you surrender?
Yulin has fallen, so the threat of Shanxi's "shun thieves" to Shanxi has greatly increased.

The governor of Shanxi, Wu Xin, couldn't care less about continuing to "chasing and suppressing the Shun thieves". He hurriedly dispatched Wang Zhong, the Shanxi commander-in-chief, to Kelan, and Hu Dawei, the deputy commander-in-chief, to Linxian to defend the "Shun thieves".

And he himself sits in Taiyuan, ready to support the officers and soldiers of the two places at any time.

As a result, the series of news that came later directly made Wu Sheng numb.

Ningxia Township!

Guyuan Town fell, Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo set himself on fire and died!

Gansu Town and Lintao Town are vying to surrender the enemy first!

……

All of a sudden, the situation changed suddenly, and Shaanxi, a huge city with three sides and four towns, was completely occupied by "shun thieves" within two or three months.

"Woohoo, heaven mourns, heaven mourns!" the governor of Shanxi Province, Wu Zhen couldn't help but shouted to the sky, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood.

At the same time when Shanxi Governor Wu Tong fell to the ground unconscious, the "Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty" Zhang Shenyan broke into the residence of "Emperor Hongguang" with a red face holding a letter of victory from Shaanxi.

"Your Majesty, good news, good news!"

"Where does the joy come from?" the big fat "Hongguang Emperor" didn't know whether it was "good news" or "mourning news", so he had to ask with a straight face.

"Your Majesty, look!" Prime Minister Zhang Shenyan excitedly handed over the document, and said repeatedly: "Shaanxi is restored, Shaanxi is restored! Now the three sides and four towns of Shaanxi belong to His Majesty!"

Cao Cao Cao, what does this have to do with me?
The former King of Fortune, now that Emperor Hongguang has no energy in his stomach, he had to pretend to be happy and said: "The King of Qin is really good at using soldiers like a god, and has made outstanding achievements. Please Aiqing quickly draw up an award for me!"

"Thank you for the decree!" Zhang Shenyan replied honestly, took out the "jade seal" from his bosom, dipped the ink pad in front of Emperor Hongguang, and stamped it on the "imperial decree" that had been prepared.

Then, he didn't even let Emperor Hongguang take a look, and he put the jade seal in his arms with the imperial decree, and Shi Shiran went!
"Your Majesty, are you just watching this thief be so arrogant?" Seeing the man walking away, Queen Hongguang couldn't help asking with a gloomy face.

"What do you think we should do?" Emperor Hongguang smiled wryly, and asked back, "Of course we will not have a good life if the rebels win; but if the officers and soldiers win, can we have a good end?"

"What's more, now that Daming has lost all three sides and four towns, and the rebel army is unstoppable, we'd better not spoil his interest!"

"That Daming"

"I can't protect myself now, how can I manage a lot?" Emperor Hongguang was silent for a long while, and couldn't help asking back with a complicated expression.

"Why are all the three sides and four towns lost?" Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but stand up, stunned for a while, but then fell down on the dragon chair.

"Yes!" Wen Tiren said in a deep voice, "Just now the governor of Shanxi, Wu Sheng, hastened to [-] li, and the information came."

"The Shun bandits first fought fiercely with Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, outside Xi'an for ten days, and suddenly dug up the Chan River and filled it with water!"

"The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and were drowned by the water. The 'shun bandits' took the opportunity to attack, and the officers and soldiers were defeated, causing countless casualties!"

"Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, committed suicide in fear of crime, and the rest of the generals fled. The thieves broke through the city of Xi'an again. Qin Wang Zhu Yifu and the princess all fled, and now they are missing."

"More than a month later, the thieves went down to Yulin, Ningxia, Gansu and other towns, killing countless people, and the four towns on the three sides were taken over by the 'shun thieves'!"

"How did this happen? How did this happen? How did this happen!" Under the impact of such terrible news, Emperor Chongzhen was immediately at a loss and couldn't help repeating.

"Your Majesty is the lord of ten thousand chariots, please calm down and take the dragon's body as the most important thing!" Wen Tiren comforted quickly.

"Calm? This is how I can be calm!" Chongzhen couldn't help being furious when he heard the words.

"If you want money, I will give you money, and if you want people, I will give you someone. Why do you all live up to my expectations?"

"It's fine if you can't suppress the bandits, but you lost Heluo, Xi'an, and even the entire three sides!"

"Tomorrow, will my capital, my Jiangnan, and my dragon chair be lost?"

"Capital crimes, capital crimes, I deserve death for my crimes, Your Majesty, please punish me!" Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, saw that the good guy couldn't get rid of this blame, so he simply took it on his own.

Rather than taking the blame today, it is better to have a bigger blame for him to bear in the future.

"Okay, I will grant your wish!" Chongzhen was so angry that he had no place to get angry, and he couldn't help but said angrily, "Mr. Wen, draw up the decree!"

"Mr. Wen" is Wen Zhenmeng, the great-grandson of Wen Zhengming, a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty. He was just promoted to the cabinet because he was appreciated by Chongzhen.

"This is an order of His Majesty's anger, and I dare not obey it!" Wen Zhenmeng hurriedly dissuaded after hearing the words, "After His Majesty's anger subsides, I dare not act according to the order!"

"You..." Chongzhen almost had a cerebral hemorrhage when he heard the words, pointed at Wen Zhenmeng viciously for a long while, then lowered his hand helplessly and said, "How about this matter other than Aiqing?"

"This..." Wen Zhenmeng knew that he had hated the emperor just now, he pondered for a moment, and quickly made amends, "In my humble opinion, it is better to stabilize Shanxi, Henan and other places in time!"

"Shanxi is the backbone of the world; Henan is the confidant of the world."

"Shaanxi has been lost, of course it is like losing an arm; compared with the backbone and confidants, it cannot be counted, please think about it carefully, Your Majesty!"
