please make me king

Chapter 905 Chaos

Xiong Wencan, governor of Huguang, certainly has his own ideas, and Zhu Dadian, governor of water transport and governor of Fengyang, also has his own ideas.

Although the Huguang Chief Envoy Division has such special units as Zhendang soldiers, the Governor of Water Transport and Fengyang Governor Zhu Dadian is not without available soldiers.

Zhu Dadian's part-time job as governor of Fengyang actually governs Huai'an Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Fengyang Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Hezhou, Chuzhou, Xuzhou, four prefectures and three prefectures, basically covering southern Zhili Jiangbei All areas in the area are roughly equivalent to the Huaisi area.

The Huaisi area, also known as the Lianghuai area, is also a well-known producer of elite soldiers.

For example, the elite soldiers of Beifu during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Huaisi Group, which was founded in the Ming Dynasty, are typical representatives.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has been founded for more than [-] years, the Huaisi area has been peaceful for a long time. Although it is no longer the prosperity of elite soldiers and powerful soldiers in the past, its soldiers and horses should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that Zhu Dadian also served as the governor of water transportation, responsible for the governor-general of Yingzhou Bingbei Road, Xuzhou Bingbei Road, Huaiyang Haifang Road, Fengyang, the left guard of Zhongdu, and other 7 guards, Hongtang Shouyu, Nanzhili Luzhou Guard, Yangzhou Guard, Gaoyou Guard, Yizhen Guard, Chuzhou Guard, Xuzhou Guard, Huai'an Guard, Dahe Guard, Pizhou Guard, Yizhou Guard, Sizhou Guard, Shouzhou Guard, Suzhou Guard, Haizhou Zhongshou Imperial Palace Wait for all the guards under the jurisdiction of the four prefectures and three states.

These guards are almost where the founding elite of the Ming Dynasty lived.The reason why Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty set up so many guards here was to defend the capital Nanjing at that time, and to fully grasp the military power here to prevent it from being used by others.

However, after Jing Nan, Zhu Di lived in Nanjing and had trouble sleeping and eating, so he moved his capital to Beijing. As a result, these guards lost their most important purpose and gradually became useless.

Even so, if Zhu Dadian was allowed to pick and choose at will, he could still pick out [-] elite soldiers.

However, Zhu Dadian was worried that his men and horses would not be available, so he sent people to Shandong to select Shandong spearmen and Kaifeng mansion to select yamen servants according to the order of the court.

In fact, there are quite a few people under Zhu Dadian's command who can command people, except for Li Chongzhen, Mou Wenshou and Biaoying who were originally under his command.

There are still [-] Xuzhou generals Luo Ju, Ma Yu, and eunuch Lu Jiude stationed in Runing. They originally belonged to Zu Kuan, Zuo Liangyu, Meng Ruhu, Shanxi guest general Hu Dawei, and Kaifeng Prefecture under the command of Henan Governor Fu Zonglong. Chen Yongfu, who was born in Xuanwuwei, and other battalion personnel, roughly calculated to be more than [-].

However, due to the fact that the east of Songshan Mountain is a thousand-mile plain, there is no danger to defend, so we had to disperse the cities and confront the rebels.

The rebel army also had Zhao Lizi, Cao Bianjiao, Li Jiyu, Li Xin, Zhang Sanbai, Jiang He, and Chai Shihua's seven battalions of more than [-] people.

Both sides couldn't open the situation for a while, but the focus of the rebel army's strategy was not here, so there was no rush.

However, officers and soldiers are different. Thirty thousand horses cannot advance and retreat, and the rebel army is wasting food and grass here. This is a situation that the Ming court cannot accept anyway.

Not to mention, the one side of the officers and soldiers is not only not conducive to perennial defense, but also in a passive state.

The court's response is very simple, that is, to increase the number of troops by more than [-] to form a local advantage and open up the situation in Henan.

First press the Shunying troops back to the various passes in Songshan Mountain, and then concentrate the troops to defeat them one by one.

At this point, the Ming court finally mobilized its mighty power and prepared to mobilize [-] elite soldiers to completely wipe out the rebels entrenched in the two prefectures of Henan, Nanyang and Ruzhou.

All of a sudden, the land of the Central Plains was turbulent, and a battle that would determine the life and death of the rebel army would break out at any time.

It's just that these plans happened thousands of miles away, far beyond the rebel army's intelligence capabilities, Zhang Shun and others were kept in the dark, and had no idea of ​​the plans of the officers and soldiers.

But "you have your thousand tricks, I have my old attention".

As long as Zhang Shun has a clear understanding of the current situation, he will not be unaware that the Ming Dynasty now has nothing to fear except the three borders and four towns in Shaanxi that can mobilize large troops.

The four towns of Jiliao in Xuanda faced the front of the Tartar army, and the imperial court dared not make a move.

Changping Town and Zhenbao Town are weak, and Changping Town has already mobilized Zuo Liangyu's battalion, and Zhenbao Town has to guard the flank of the capital.
This is how strategy crushes campaigns and tactics. Although I don't know what you are going to do, I know what you have and where your seven inches are.

This is the reason why Zhang Shun began to focus on Shaanxi after the rebel army took Nanyang.

No matter who comes to power in your Ming Dynasty or who presides over the cabinet, you can't get away from reality, and the soldiers will explode in the void.

So when Chen Changzhu took down the Tongguan natural barrier, Zhang Shun immediately organized troops to enter the pass.

Even if there are insufficient manpower, even if the main force of the rebel army is still confronting the officers and soldiers in central Henan, they still have to enter the pass.

Opportunities must not be missed and never come again. Fighting opportunities are fleeting. If you take one step slower, you will be lost forever.

After the rebel army defeated Zuo Guangxian, the Shaanxi general in Huayin, Zhang Shun didn't stop, and personally led his troops to chase them all the way.

From Huazhou in Huayin, from Huazhou to Weinan, from Weinan to Lintong, from Lintong to Xianning, Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of Shaanxi, was as brilliant as a bereaved dog, retreating all the way to the city of Xi'an.

Zhang Shun personally led He Jin and He Renlong's second battalion to the foot of the city of Xi'an. When he looked up, he saw that the city wall of Xi'an was thick and tall, about as high as a four-story building.

There are four city gates in the southeast, northwest, each guarded, and there are many banner soldiers on the city.

Zhang Shun ordered his soldiers to fire a few shots, which was neither painful nor itchy and threatening to the huge city of Xi'an.

Zhang Shun frowned, and said to the left and right: "Shaanxi Commander-in-Chief Zuo Guangxian is indeed a strong general. He has been defeated in a row and can still rectify the soldiers; and the Shaanxi Governor Gan Xuekuo is not a mediocre man. Although he has no talent for leading troops, They do things in an orderly manner, but if it weren’t for this, Xi’an would not belong to Daming!”

"Why?" He Renlong couldn't help asking after hearing the words.

He and the soldiers under his command rushed on the road repeatedly, and they had already reached the limit of their bodies; and the horses of the cavalry under He Jin's command fell to the side of the road.

Not reconciled, really not reconciled!
Zhang Shun looked down at his painful feet, and thought of a saying "It's a bone in your mouth, but it's a piece of meat when you spit it out".

Although he had already put on the soft sheepskin boots made by Gao Guiying himself, but he had no experience of long-distance marching, his tender feet had been worn out and bloody, and the soles of his feet and socks were sticky and stuck together, making him extremely uncomfortable.

How to do?To go, or to stay?

At that time, Guan Yunchang, the emperor of Guan Sheng, had his troops under Fancheng, so he was defeated and fled to Maicheng. Wei Wu Cao Mengde was caught in a dilemma in Wuchao.

Since ancient times, there have been countless positive and negative examples. What is right and what is wrong?
Zhang Shun pondered for a while, and thought: "A man can't eat five tripods, he cooks with five tripods! Ever since I started my army, I have been in desperate situation almost everywhere, always in desperate situation."

"A world of great struggle between husbands and wives is good for making progress, but not good for success. Although this king now occupies two prefectures and one prefecture, compared with the world, it is only a drop in the bucket."

"If I shrink back today, I don't know where I will die tomorrow!"

"Instead of this, why don't you try to survive and fight hard. But if you can take down the three sides and four towns in Shaanxi, recruit soldiers, farm fields and improve technology, what a world!"

He gritted his teeth and said: "I will pass on the king's order, the army will retreat thirty miles, set up camp, and make a long-term plan!"

"If the city of Xi'an cannot be captured in this battle, I promise not to return to Luo!"
