please make me king

Chapter 939 Choice
What is the situation of the battle in Nanyang, and what is the progress of Zhang Sanbai's clamor to advance eastward? In fact, Zhang Shun has no news at all.

Constrained by the backward communication system of this era, except for the post station where the imperial court transmits emergency military information, many messages are naturally transmitted, which often takes several months or even longer.

Although the rebel army has initially established a political power, it still has no good way to transmit news to areas outside its control.

Even if the courier speeds up, by the time Zhang Shun receives the news, several days will have passed, losing the timeliness of the information.

This is one of the reasons why the "Art of War" has always emphasized "will not accept military orders abroad".

The battlefield is ever-changing, and fighter opportunities are fleeting. If you ask for instructions on everything, I am afraid that the war will fall into a very passive situation.

"King Shun!" Chief of Staff Hong Chengchou came in and reported, "General Chen led the 'Scorpion Block' and 'Huntian Star' to attack for three to five days, but Liang Tingdong and Zuo Guangxian still couldn't get out, and there was little progress!"

It's really embarrassing to say that Hong Chengchou fought these people to death before, and had a deep hatred.

Now the two sides are not looking up and seeing each other down, which makes Hong Chengchou, the former governor of the five provinces, feel quite like a sheep in a herd of tigers.

If it wasn't for Zhang Shun's protection, and now these people are asking Zhang Shun again, they might have rushed forward and ate him alive one by one.

As a result, Hong Chengchou has become more honest recently, but Zhang Shun's order is to obey.

"You draw up a warrant for me, and immediately mobilize Dudu Zhang and his craftsmen to Huazhou, and prepare to open the furnace to cast at least eight "General Qingtian Cannons"; Lu Weiqi recruits Ding Zhuang, collects iron materials and iron ore, and spends ten Ten thousand catties is the benchmark!"

"Yes!" Hong Chengchou hesitated when he heard the words, and stopped talking.

"What's the matter? If you have anything to say, just say it, and I won't be punished with words!" Zhang Shun saw it, and couldn't help being surprised.

"I think King Shun's determination to conquer the land of Qin is very firm, but now that Nanyang and Central Henan are fighting again, I'm afraid that if something happens, the rebel army may be completely destroyed!" Seeing Zhang Shun's question, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but honestly said .

"Could it be that at this time, are you still persuading me to return to Luoyang?" Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard the words, and said firmly, "The population, soldiers, land, wealth, etc. of the Ming Dynasty far exceed those of the Rebel Army. If you don't have time to take care of the opportunity, if you fight to the death, how can you have a chance of winning in the future?"

"King Shun misunderstood, this time I am not trying to persuade you to retreat, but to persuade you to advance!" Hong Chengchou couldn't help laughing.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Zhang Shunqi asked.

"Gentlemen are not different, and they are good at fakes. Since King Shun was able to use the power of the rebel army to plot the land of Qin, why did he forget about a stronger force?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help laughing.

"Which force? How could I not know?" Zhang Shun became more and more curious.

"Northern Empress Jin is also!" Hong Chengchou pointed to the north and couldn't help laughing, "Now Empress Jin Prince Dorgon and Yue Tuo lead more than ten thousand elites, stationed in Guihua City."

"As long as King Shun promises his children and silk, and invites them to attack the Qin army, those greedy and despicable people will definitely be able to use them for me!"

"With the Houjin Army?" Zhang Shun was shocked when he heard the words, "This is absolutely impossible!"

"Why not?" Hong Chengchou asked strangely, "Since ancient times, Goujian had a day of recklessness, and Tang Gao had a minister in Turkic. Both of them are outstanding!"

"A man can endure things that ordinary people can't, so he can accomplish things that ordinary people can't, so why should King Shun worry?"

Good guy, no wonder you have become a big traitor in history, you have already shown signs of affection!

Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are not important, what is important is your glory and wealth!
Zhang Shun originally had some prejudice against him because he had been a traitor in history.

It's just that after he took refuge in the rebel army, he was honest and honest. After a long time, Zhang Shun felt a little guilty in his heart.

He originally thought that Hong Chengchou was a traitor in history, "the time is also, the situation is also", but it was a last resort.

And in this life, he has changed history here, so he can be an upright person.

Looking at it now, it is true that "wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit", and neither of them can change their bad habits.

However, as a qualified politician, Zhang Shun is responsible for the safety of one party, and he is supposed to be mercenary in practice. How can he be bound by benevolence, righteousness and morality?
If he said nonsense such as "Hua and barbarians are not independent", "Han and captives are not allied", Hong Chengchou would only think that he is not suitable to be the leader of one side.

"How do Mr. Hong think he can convince Dorgon and Yue Tuo?" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking.

"The barbarians of that generation are only interested in profit, and they only have a little wealth. If it doesn't work, it's better to follow the old practice of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and allow them to take all the wealth of Xi'an women!" Hong Chengchou replied triumphantly.

He was quite a bit like Zhang Shun who was only willing to nod, so he was going to the north to be a well-spoken lobbyist regardless of the hardships.

"No, no!" Zhang Shun shook his head upon hearing the sound, hating that iron could not become steel, "Mr. Hong underestimated Hou Jin!"

"Since the separatist rule of Liaodong, those generations have established laws and established officials. After two generations, they have defeated the Ming Dynasty's frontier army."

"The reason why it is so difficult now is that the weak can win the strong with the small, and the snake is not enough to swallow the elephant!"

"The ones trapped are food and grass, and the population. Therefore, even though they are forced to enter the pass, they cannot gain a foothold, because they are waiting for the right time!"

"The king who wants to seize the world is not the world of the Ming Dynasty, nor the world of the Later Jin Dynasty, but the world of the world."

"How can you raise a tiger and suffer from it instead?"

"This...isn't that the case?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, "The other generation is only a small family outside the Great Wall, so how can it be compared to I Dahan back then?"

"However, you can make him the King of Shunyi and agree to the mutual market!"

"This old slave has no morals and bloodthirsty, it's not as good as my sweating, but his son Hong Taixiong is so talented, you can't be ignored!" Zhang Shun said cautiously based on the knowledge of his previous life.

"How do you know that?" In this life, Hong Chengchou had no direct contact with Hou Jin Bingfeng, but easily beheaded Huang Taiji's defeated general Lin Danhan by [-] ranks, thinking that it was nothing more than mediocrity.

Therefore, when Zhang Shun suggested that Huang Taiji should not be underestimated, he was quite dissatisfied.

"At the beginning of Hong Tai's ascension to the throne, Hou Jin was in trouble at home and abroad, and the people were struggling to survive. Only he won over the false kings, fought desperately, entered the customs and looted, but turned the crisis into safety, this is one of them!"

"Eastern Liaodong is located in a remote place, the people are poor and lacking in wealth, and faces enemies all around. However, Mrs. Hong took advantage of the time when the Ming Dynasty encircled and suppressed the rebels, conquered Korea in the east, conquered Mongolia in the west, and captured the tribes of Daur in the north. This shows that his ambition is not small. !"

"Since Huduntu is dead, the rest of the troops are nothing to worry about. Hong Taifu sent the false prince to station in Guihua City and gather up the remnants of his troops, intending to encircle Daming from the right wing. This is the third thing."

"If he really wants to be a state chief, how can he be so scheming?"

"Now that its momentum has come into being, from Gansu in the west to North Korea in the east, it threatens all areas of two or three thousand miles away. Once the Ming Dynasty collapses, how can I deal with it?"

"This..." Hong Chengchou was not a person with a reputation, and his face changed drastically when he heard the words.

"If it is as King Shun said, who in the world can control it?"

"Let's discuss this matter in a long-term manner, but if it is as the king said, if we call him into the customs, I'm afraid he will occupy the magpie's nest!" Zhang Shun whispered, while secretly pointing to the rebels outside the camp department.

Chief of Staff Hong Chengchou couldn't help but turn pale with shock when he heard the words, his liver and gallbladder were split.

Of course he understood what Zhang Shun meant. Now these people were desperate and had to take refuge in King Shun.

If there are other better choices, then one can imagine how they would choose!
