please make me king

Chapter 613
Hearing the words, Zhang Shun couldn't help saying with great pride: "The world is the game, all living beings are the chess game, in the vast land, who will make the move!"

"All along, I have been chess pieces, and I can only struggle and beg for a living on this chessboard. Now I have struggled for a long time, and I finally became a chess player and dropped a piece on this chessboard."

"Then Hong Chengchou's reputation is so great, what's the point? I didn't come down for him, but for the son of Chongzhen, for the princes of the imperial court, and for the empress Jin Hongtai! Is it true that the situation is superior or inferior?" Chess pieces can know everything!"

Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, they were already the group of people with the highest level of ability in the rebel army, but they couldn't even figure out what Zhang Shun wanted to do or what he was talking about.

If it weren't for the two of them being courtiers, they both wanted to hold his head and curse: "Speak human words!"

Of course, Zhang Shun didn't expect Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi to understand, so he faced Luoshui with high spirits and said with a smile, "Do you still remember the 'grain war' I mentioned when I was buying grain?"

"Ah?" Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi suddenly realized something, as if they understood something, but they still seemed to be ignorant.

"Food is the most important thing for the people, and grain is the main food!" Zhang Shun laughed. war, so the five expeditions to Mongolia and the country's use is not in short supply."

"Since Wanli Qingzhang, Zhang Ge's payment of grain and silver has increased, and taxes have increased, resulting in more silver and less food on the nine borders. The price of grain has been rising steadily, and the soldiers have not enough to eat. In recent years, there have been continuous natural disasters and man-made disasters, and years of wars. The entire northern capital The four provinces are already overwhelmed."

"Now the rebel army has purchased more than [-] shi of grain, and it will reach a million shi in a few years. If the water transportation of the capital is cut off, the grain transport will be reduced by [-] million shi every year. I am afraid that we will not wait for our army of rebels to arrive, and the Ming court will not fight. Self-defeating!"

"Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, is called 'Zhi Bing'. I'd like to see if he can withstand the pressure of the court and focus on 'suppressing bandits' when the court's food supply is cut off!"

Good guy, it turns out that you are ambushing here, Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi couldn't help but stare round.

Both of them are human beings, Zhang Shun has explained to this extent, how can they not understand that Zhang Shun is pointing this way and that, to buy time for himself.

What a King Shun, he dug a piece from the heart of the imperial court without mentioning it, and even stabbed Daming's esophagus with a knife.

If Daming is ready to deal with the "shun thieves" wholeheartedly, then your court will not care about the possible collapse of the entire northern frontier army and the capital because of the severance of water transportation?

If you try your best to solve the problem of water transportation, then "shun thieves" are like malignant tumors, agglomerating, deteriorating, and spreading. Do you want to live in Ming Dynasty?
This is exactly in line with the saying in the Art of War that "if you prepare for the left, you will be few on the right; if you are prepared for the right, you will be few on the left; if you are prepared for everything, you will be short on everything".

The young phoenix's first cry and the dragon's first chants, Zhang Shun's methods are so amazing.Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi couldn't help but knelt down and said: "Fortunately, the lord is born, and the people of the world have hope!"

Zhang Shun hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said modestly: "Where, where, thanks to the support of the two, the rebel army has grown stronger today. But when the soldiers use their lives, all the monarchs work together to defeat Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces. The game is broken, and there is a chance to change the world!"

Gao Guiying listened to Zhang Shun for a while, hesitated to speak several times, but Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi were in person, and Zhang Shun was talking about business again, she also knew that this was not the right time.

Her parents died early when she was young, and with the help of her uncle and uncle, her younger brother Gao Yigong was brought up by her sister and mother, so her temper has always been strong.

Especially after Uncle Gao Yingxiang started his army, she often dressed in armor, armed with knives and guns, rushed into battle, entered three times and exited three times, not to lose to men.

It wasn't until she was humiliated by Zhang Shun in every possible way that she realized that she was still that weak daughter.Especially the extreme nausea in her heart and the extreme pleasure in her body made her loathe her body to the extreme.

Originally, she was in so much pain that she wanted to kill herself.As a result, Hong Niangzi's sentence "I'm sorry I'm a daughter, but if I'm a man, if I go out and make a living, whether it's life or death, this life is worth it" just hit her heart.

After hating, hurting, and crying, the breath in her chest has also been vented, and she originally planned to accept her fate like this.

It was only when she saw and heard that Zhang Shun was in high spirits, playing with the three heroes of "Chuang Jiang", "Living Cao Cao" and "Eight Great Kings" in the palm of her hand, she seemed to know this guy for the first time. The man she loves to hate.

On the way back with Zhang Shun, she struggled for a while, then reached out and grabbed Zhang Shun's clothes, and pulled them lightly.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Shun looked at her suspiciously.

"That, that, can you tell me what's going on?" Gao Guiying gritted her teeth, thinking that since she had been humiliated by him all over the place, there was nothing to be embarrassed about, at most she would be ridiculed by him again.

"It's the broken water transport and Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces." Gao Guiying gestured unconsciously with her hand a little flustered, and repeated with a bit of embarrassment.

"Huh?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but looked at her in surprise, but didn't say anything, but she was willing to ask and he was willing to answer.

By the way, Zhang told her again in detail, but Gao Guiying asked with a dazed face, "Why is there so much money and so little food?"

Zhang Shun couldn't help but turned his head, looked at her face carefully, only looked embarrassed at her, and then said with a smile: "The amount of money has nothing to do with the amount of food. To put it bluntly, the north is drought-prone, and there are heavy troops stationed there. To supply the capital. The grain harvest cannot meet the food consumption, which is called making ends meet!"

"That's why you transport grain to the capital through the canal?" Gao Guiying suddenly realized, and then became a little confused, "Where did the money go?"

"Can you eat silver? You can't eat silver, what you can eat is food!" Zhang Shun thought she really understood, but unexpectedly she was a little confused.

He couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Except for the food imported from the south, there is only so much food in the north, and even natural disasters and man-made disasters have reduced the amount of food. There is not enough food at all!"

Zhang Shun pointed out the key point at once. Gao Guiying recalled that Shaanxi had experienced a severe drought for several years, and the price of rice had risen to more than ten taels of silver per stone. Only then did Gao Guiying really understand.

"But... But, how do you guarantee that Li Hongji and the others will obey your orders?" Gao Guiying had another problem.There are also intrigues among the rebels, and who is the honest and responsible person?

"Calling Dad!" Zhang Shun frowned. The slaves and servants in Ming Dynasty called the master's family calling Dad. Zhang Shun thought it was weird at first, so he didn't let Jian'er and Zhu'er call.

The two thought that Zhang Shun was going to accept them as the third and fourth bedrooms, so they were even more happy.Then Gao Guiying's life is not so good, Zhang Shun is a bit addicted to bullying her.

How could Gao Guiying shout out?I had no choice but to hum in my throat.Zhang Shun felt that it was a bit difficult for others, so he couldn't help himself.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore!" Zhang Shun was somewhat patient, and said with a smile, "Seeing how clever you are, it doesn't matter to you."

"Conspiracies and tricks, surprise people, must be kept secret, don't be known to others. But if the conspiracy is upright, take one step and watch three steps, the most difficult to deal with."

"Then Li Hongji, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong are all heroes in the world, with great ambitions. Therefore, I lured them with the three parts of the southern land. If they have no other better plans, they have no choice but to join my hub."

"However, they have no more than [-] troops, only a few generals, and no supplies of food, grass and supplies. If they want to take a place as a foundation, they must first find food and grass to strengthen their strength. If no one guides them, they can only be like headless chickens General scurrying."

"Now that you know that grain is transported by water along the canal, if you can get it, great things can happen, how can you sit idly by?"

"This move is based on my experience, and I bully them because they are ignorant. Compared with the masters, the martial arts are so high. As long as I am higher than them, they can only walk according to my rhythm. Because , this is the best-choice!”
