please make me king

Chapter 982
"King Shun, you really let you talk about this!" Lu Xiangsheng said with admiration, "That Ge Lin was really honest and persuaded that Danyang soldier to surrender to our army."

These Danyang soldiers were originally recruited by Ge Lin himself, and they were captured in a foreign country where they were born. After being persuaded by their own generals, is there any reason not to surrender?

"How many Danyang soldiers are there now?" Zhang Shun frowned and said.

"Originally, the Danyang army collapsed, with more than a thousand casualties, but now there are only [-] left!" Lu Xiangsheng said respectfully.

"Tsk, Mr. Lu, you won't just make up a number to fool me, will you?" Zhang Shun heard that what he said was full of odds and ends, as if the Kuomintang generals fooled Chiang Kai-shek back then.

"Here is the roster of Danyang's soldiers, King Shun please take a look at it!" Lu Xiangsheng's face darkened, he couldn't help but took out a booklet from his arms, and presented it.

"Haha, it's me who judges a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, sir, don't blame me!" Zhang Shun was a little embarrassed, while taking the booklet, passed it to Hong Chengchou and said, "Please trouble Mr. Hong!"

Nima, Lu Xiangsheng's face is even darker, if you don't believe me, just say it straight!

"How about this, my younger brother Lu Xiangjin has made a lot of progress recently, why don't you let him lead the two divisions to supplement Ge Lin as a battalion, what does Mr. Lu think?" Zhang Shun ignored Lu Xiangsheng's expression and continued to say as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Shun slapped him and gave him a sweet date, making Lu Xiangsheng a little bit dumbfounded.

"It can be favored by King Shun, and that is the blessing of my younger brother. Jiutai thanked King Shun on behalf of my younger brother!" Lu Xiangsheng would not suffer no matter what he exchanged his false name for real benefits.

"Young man is not bad, let him work hard, and his future achievements may not be inferior to yours!" Zhang Shun looked old-fashioned, and didn't notice that he was actually a few years younger than Lu Xiangjin.

"By the way, how are your surprise soldiers preparing?" Zhang Shun suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help asking again.

"The soldiers who have been carefully selected are all good, but they are short of horses and armor. I am about to ask King Shun for some!" Lu Xiangsheng originally planned to report to Zhang Shun, but Zhang Shun mentioned this first.

"Just ask for some armored horses? How can it be done!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but waved his big hand when he heard the words, "I promise you to choose first among the surrendered generals. All war horses, mules, draft horses, armored weapons, and armored weapons will be taken from the captured ones. Be sure to do it for yourself." I trained a battalion of surprise soldiers!"

"Ah?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but exclaimed, what else is there to do?
To be honest, he has been an official for so many years, and he can be regarded as a person who was vigorously cultivated and promoted by the Ming court.

As a result, he asked for salary but no salary, food but no food, and no one for people, just like "raised by a stepmother".

After he joined the King of Shun, he needed to be paid, to be given food, to be given someone, just like reborn parents, so Lu Xiangsheng couldn't be more overjoyed.

"Don't worry, King Shun, Jiutai will train you a battalion of elites."

"At that time, even if it's in the water, as long as you give the order, the Qibingying will definitely treat death like home, and will never frown!" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help himself with excitement, and quickly lined up his badge to promise.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave it to the general!" Zhang Shun praised him, and then sent him out.

"King Shun, are you planning to expand your army and prepare for war?" Hong Chengchou couldn't help asking when Lu Xiangsheng had just left.

Hong Chengchou was not blind. Zhang Shun first appeased the other rebel generals in the joint venture, and then took the risk of persuading Ge Lin, the deputy commander.

"Of course!" Zhang Shun stood up and walked to the window, looking out solemnly.

"Our army has won a complete victory in this battle. Although Liang Tingdong, the governor of the three sides, is dead and the city of Xi'an has fallen into his hands, the situation of the rebel army is still serious!"

"Three borders and four towns are still stalking all around. Shanxi Governor Wu Sheng's Jin soldiers invaded the hinterland of our Heluo, and Nanyang was besieged by Huguang Governor Xiong Wencan for a long time. Now I don't know what the situation is."

"If this is the case, the rebel army can't take the opportunity to expand their advantage, I'm afraid that if something unexpected happens, they will lose everything!"

"King Shun already knew about it!" Hong Chengchou nodded after hearing the words, but hesitantly said, "Actually, I have something to do, and I just want to tell King Shun."

"Say!"

"The former governor of Gansu Zhang Yingchen sent someone to pass the post to me, hoping that I can guarantee him that he can become the king of Shun!" Hong Chengchou said cautiously.

"Okay, this is a good thing!" Zhang Shun couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, "Now that the Xi'an Prefecture is new, I can't even appoint all the officials in one state and one county. Since there are such high-ranking officials who are willing to take refuge in me, how can you not be polite? The reason for treating each other?"

"It's just. It's just that he still wants to ask for the post of governor of Gansu." Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhang Shun secretly, then quickly lowered his eyelids and said, "He claimed that as long as he can see King Shun, he will definitely be entrusted with this important task."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun said heartily: This toad yawns, so loudly!

He didn't think that he used to be the governor of Gansu, but now that he changed his master, he could continue to be the governor of Gansu, right?

"Okay, then let's meet him, I want to see what he is capable of!"

That afternoon, under the guidance of Hong Chengchou, Zhang Yingchen came to see Zhang Shun.

"Sir, please sit down!" No matter how wildly he spoke, Zhang Shun still received this person with courtesy.

That Zhang Yingchen is also a member of the officialdom, what scene has he not seen?

He finished the etiquette meticulously, sat down properly, and then said: "Speaking of it, it is a predestined relationship. I have admired the name of King Shun for a long time, and now I see him in person, so I know that he is such a young hero." .”

"Hey, it's absurd, it's absurd!" Zhang Shun said a few words politely, impatient with wasting time with him, he couldn't help but go straight to the point, "Mr. came from a long distance, why do you teach me?"

"King Shun is just joking, how can there be 'come from thousands of miles'?" Zhang Yingchen said with a smile, "I also have the same surname as King Shun, so we may still be in the same family five hundred years ago!"

"It just so happens that my family is also in Luoyang, so I can barely cling to a neighbor with King Shun!"

"Ah? It's an old friend face to face, rude, rude!" Zhang Shun hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands.

"Ah, I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it!" Zhang Yingchen was taken aback, and quickly stood up and replied.

It turned out that Zhang Yingchen was also from Luoyang. When Zhang Shun "died", various big families joined forces to rebel, and even secretly linked up with his Zhang family.

It's just that no one dared to make decisions on such a big matter, so he had to send a letter to Zhang Yingchen, who was serving as the governor of Gansu.

When Zhang Yingchen read the letter, he swiped his pen and said, "Loyalty to the imperial court is the most important thing!"

As a result, before Zhang Yingchen received the family letter, these big families were wiped out by the rebel army on the spot.

If he waited until this letter was delivered, the day lily might be cold.

It just so happened that not long after, there was a mutiny in Xining, and Zhang Yingchen failed to deal with it, so he was dismissed from office.

Only then did he recall the matter of the letter back then, fearing that the rebel army would get it, he had to stay in Xi'an City to wait and see, not daring to go back to his hometown to check.

As a result, the undead rebel army came over again, Zhang Yingchen couldn't escape, and was trapped in the city of Xi'an again.

He thought, this is life!

The Zhang family is now under the rule of the rebel army, and they themselves have fallen into the city controlled by the rebel army.

That being the case, where is it not to be an official?
It just so happened that his former boss, Hong Chengchou, was in Zhang Shunying's camp, and his "old friend" Lu Weiqi was also an important minister of the rebel army, so why not vote?
The two exchanged a few words of politeness, chatting about family affairs, and then Zhang Yingchen said seriously: "I have two plans to offer to King Shun, which will definitely allow King Shun to sit firmly on the three sides and four towns!"

"Oh? Please, sir!" Zhang Shun knew that the main event was coming.

"First, open a course to recruit scholars, so as to win over the hearts of scholars all over the world!"

"Yes, this is the truth!" Zhang Shun nodded.

Since the emergence of the imperial examination system, this truth has been figured out by scholars.

No matter who comes here, as long as you are willing to open a course to obtain a scholar, everyone will treat you as a wise king!

"Secondly, I would rather single-handedly speak for King Shun to surrender Gansu!"

"Ah?" Zhang Shun was about to respond casually, only then did he realize what Zhang Yingchen said. "Can this be done?"

No wonder Zhang Shun was taken aback, it was a whole town in Gansu.

Although it is said that Gansu in this era lacks a large area with Lanzhou as the core, the main area is west of Lanzhou, which is roughly equivalent to the four counties of Hexi in the Han Dynasty.

But its land is the one with the most soldiers and the strongest strength among the four towns on the three sides of Shaanxi.

Now the town of Guyuan is half disabled, and the towns of Ningxia and Yansui are threatened by the Houjin soldiers and unable to move.

If the rebel army can take this town ahead of schedule, then Zhang Shun has already taken half of the land of Shaanxi into his pocket!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but stood up abruptly, clapped his palms and said with a smile: "If so, I will pay respects to you as Governor of Gansu, otherwise I will not reward you sir!"
