please make me king

Chapter 1365 Datong City

Just when Dorgon learned that the rebel army had occupied the Xuanfu, and Wu Weihua had joined forces with the merchants and generals in the city to launch a counterattack, Zhang Shun actually got the same news in Datong almost at the same time.

Datong is [-] miles away from Xuanfu, and Changping is [-] miles away from Xuanfu. The distance between the two sides is almost the same.

However, at this moment, the two sides do not know each other, but they are sure that if someone seizes the opportunity, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, both sides quickly cut through the mess and solved the problems they faced as soon as possible, while dispatching soldiers as soon as possible to march towards Xuanfu City.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Shun faced fewer problems.

One is that Ye Tinggui, the former governor of Datong, and Wang Shiren, the commander-in-chief of Datong, took control of Datong for themselves.

And within a few days of returning to Datong and Yanghe, the defense was reorganized, and some soldiers who dared to fight were mobilized to build a standard battalion of one or two thousand people.

The other was Song Xiance and Li Guoliang who took the lead, and Li Zicheng, Zhang Fatty and Li Guo played the second battle, opening up the first line of Datong to Chaigoubao and Wanquan left rear in Xuanfu territory.

After these two dredgings, the rebel army miraculously opened up the thousand-mile passage from Taiyuan to Xuanfu.

However, due to the distance, this channel is actually very unstable.

Therefore, Zhang Shun entered Datong City, looked at the tall Datong city wall, and suddenly had the idea of ​​transferring Ye Tinggui, the trusted Zhenshuo king, away.

Do you know why?

It turns out that the city of Datong was a barrier to the Three Jin Dynasties and the barrier of the vassal guards and the capital. Therefore, the Ming court spared no expense to build this magnificent city after several generations of expansion.

The city is more than thirteen li on Monday. The height of the city is nearly five feet, the upper part is three feet seven feet thick, and the lower part is five feet six feet two feet thick. The pool is nearly two feet deep and three feet wide.

It is more than ten feet higher than the famous Xi'an city wall, and two feet thicker than the capital's city wall.

In addition, in order to strengthen the defense, the gate towers, turrets, and watchtowers were added to the four gates, each of which towered into the sky. Even Zhang Shun, who was used to high-rise buildings in his previous life, could not help but be shocked by them.

Not to mention that Zhang Shun entered the city this time through the most majestic Nanguan Pass.

This south gate is called Yongtai Gate, and it is a three-storey structure with a width of twenty feet and a depth of seven feet and three feet.

The first building Zhang Shun entered was Nanguan.Nanguan is huge, so there are three gates in the east, south and west.

Zhang Shun rode his horse to the south gate and looked up, only to see the three big characters of Yonghe Gate written on the plaque of the city gate.

He couldn't help muttering in his heart: Didn't you mean Yongtai Gate, Zensheng wrote Yonghe Gate?
After passing the Nanguan, Zhang Shun entered the second building, which is the Moon City.

Yuecheng is much narrower than Nanguan, with only one gate.

Zhang Shun rode his horse and took a closer look. The Yuecheng Tower surpassed the Nanguan Tower, and there were three big characters "Wenchang Pavilion" written on it.

Only then did Zhang Shun be certain that the south gates of Datong had many layers and were not the same gate, so each had its own name.

Then Zhang Shun rode over to Yuecheng and Wengcheng, and finally resisted the south gate of Datong.

Looking up, Zhang Shun saw that the south gate was not only taller and more majestic, but also an arrow tower was set up on the east side to strengthen the defense of the city gate.

Good guy, from Guancheng to Yuecheng, from Yuecheng to Wengcheng, and then from Wengcheng to the city gate.Such four defenses are really impenetrable.

Unfortunately, according to Zhang Shun's poor historical knowledge, he didn't know that in the original history, Jiang Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Datong, relied on this city to fully resist the siege of the Jin elite soldiers and the Hongyi bombardment for nine months.

It wasn't until the traitor Yang Zhenwei assassinated Jiang Xiang and opened the city gate that this kind of fortified city fell.

So angry that Dorgon "slaughtered the city and cut the wall", except for Yang Zhenwei's traitors, only five people were slaughtered in the entire prosperous and prosperous Datong City, and the Datong City Wall was also cut off by five feet.

However, the house of Jiang Xiang, who took the lead in raising troops, was dug up to a full length, and filled with feces and urine to make him tired of victory, which is what later generations call Lanchi.

Of course, today's Zhang Shun doesn't know that the executioner in history is in Changping, and Jiang Xiang, whose family has been dug into an orchid pool, is serving as the chief soldier under his command.

Zhang Shun had just entered Yongtai City, and Ye Tinggui, King of Zhenshuo, led the Dai Wang and a group of civil and military personnel from Datong City to visit him.

Zhang Shun met them one by one, and then entered the government office under the leadership of Ye Tinggui.

The two sides sat down according to their priorities, and they were courteous.

Zhang Shuncai waved the crowd away, and said to Ye Tinggui: "The military situation in the Xuanfu is urgent, and this king must lead the army there as soon as possible."

"You must arrange for the soldiers to rest for a night tonight, and the king will lead his troops to leave tomorrow morning."

"'Ah? So fast?" Ye Tinggui originally wanted to flatter Zhang Shun, but he never thought he would leave so soon.

"Then... how to deal with the acting king and old officials in Datong City?" Ye Tinggui thought for a while, and couldn't help asking tentatively.

"Let's keep it for the time being to see the future effect. As for the Dai Wang, let's monitor it for the time being. If there is no serious mistake, it will be good to raise it later!" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but give an order directly.

Now, no more than at other times, he can't help but slowly settle the matter, and he just acts as a prestige, drives it away for profit, and unites all forces that can be united to deal with the menacing main force of Houjin.

"King Shun is benevolent and righteous!" Ye Tinggui couldn't help being grateful when he heard the words and said that Zhang Shun had sold himself for favors.

"Now Dai Wang's mansion has been vacated for King Shun, and only some female relatives and mothers-in-law are waiting for you. Your Highness is welcome to come!"

"..." Zhang Shun looked at Ye Tinggui, then at Zhang Fengyi beside him, and was speechless for a while.

Zhang Shun really understands what "female relatives" and "Datong mother-in-law and aunt" are.

The point is that there happens to be a female general by his side now, so he can't do it too blatantly.

"Hehe!" Sure enough, Zhang Fengyi suddenly asked softly, "King Zhenshuo, what do you mean?"

"Could it be that our Highness is the kind of foolish king who indulges in womanizing?"

Zhang Shun wanted to say that he was, but he dared not.

Ye Tinggui also wanted to say that Zhang Shun was true, but he dared not.

So, he had no choice but to laugh and say: "Ah, haha, the general misunderstood, the general misunderstood, it's not that the king of that generation felt uneasy, I want King Shun to comfort his family for him, haha, haha..."

King Shun, you can do whatever you want, I can't help you anymore!Ye Tinggui gave Zhang Shun a helpless look.

Well, I knew I couldn't count on you!
Zhang Shun shook his head, and said: "Okay, okay, King Zhenshuo, I appreciate your kindness, but I am busy with military affairs, so I don't have the blessing to accept it."

"Today, let's make do with one night in this mansion, and leave early tomorrow morning, so there is no need to be so troublesome!"

If the rules of the past were followed, it would be unavoidable for the king to accept the hostess and the daughter for peace of mind.

Now that the rebel army is in full swing and has the potential to sweep the world, in fact Zhang Shun no longer needs to use these small tricks.

Of course, Zhang Shun, as the majestic king of Shun, no matter how shabby Datong Town is, he can't let them live in the government office.

In the end, he and Zhang Fengyi lived in the General Town Office.

Not to mention how other people arrange it, let's say that the two arrived at the residence and settled down.

Zhang Fengyi then smiled and said: "It's fortunate that Ye Tinggui flattered you so much, how did you know you were so guarded against him."

"What's there to prevent? Isn't it because you are jealous?" Zhang Shun chuckled, and would not admit it verbally.

"You still say it, you still say it!" Having said this, Zhang Fengyi was extremely ashamed.

"He is so old, and he is as jealous as his little girl. I don't know how he is being laughed at behind his back!"

It turned out that the two of them sang together just now, and they were acting for Ye Tinggui.

No matter how lecherous Zhang Shun is, he knows the seriousness.

Don't look at Ye Tinggui's honesty now, if this guy has bad intentions and arranges assassins in Daiwang's mansion, there are tens of thousands of troops outside Zhang Shun City, I'm afraid he will also be doomed.

Now that he is stationed in the tutelary mansion, with Zhang Fengyi, Wukong and a group of personal guards by his side, he can naturally sleep peacefully.

The two quarreled for a while, then lay down on the bed panting.

Only then did Zhang Fengyi ask: "What is your plan? Since you can't trust this person, why don't you just leave him in an important town like Datong?"

"How could it be?" Zhang Shun heard the words, and then he said the truth, "Now you have seen it too, this Datong City is really an important town of Xiongguan, guarded by [-] to [-] people, even an army of [-] can't break it!"

"It's so important, if you don't hold it in your own hands, you will be alone!"

"That's why I plan to return some of his cronies and guards, let him speed up the training of the standard battalion, and lead the troops to join the battle with me."

"As for Datong City, I'm going to let Zhang Sanbai who came later take over, so that I can deal with Jin Hongtai, Dorgon and others without distraction!"
