I am the carpenter king

() In the first year of Yaoqi, on August 24, it is advisable to marry a wife and move, and avoid offering sacrifices to graves.

Shandong, in Dancheng, the magistrate's yamen, the inner hall.

Looking around the room, Xu Hongru couldn't see any sadness or joy on his face. Looking at the people sitting there, he felt very uncomfortable.Thinking back on his many years of experience, Xu Hongru sighed softly, not knowing what it was like in his heart.

I joined the White Lotus Sect when I was young, so it can be said that I was deeply influenced by the White Lotus Sect, but Xu Hongru was different from what I thought.Most of those who joined the White Lotus Sect with Xu Hongru back then died, and those who survived have become the bones of the White Lotus Sect, and they are loyal to the White Lotus Sect.

Until now, Xu Hongru still remembers the feeling of kneeling in front of the statue of Wusheng's old mother. He was in poverty since he was a child, and he didn't see Wusheng's old mother at that time.I have knelt down countless times like gods and Buddhas, but I have not been able to see Miller's reincarnation. On the contrary, my life is still difficult.The people living around him are also suffering. Corrupt officials oppress and evil gentry run rampant. It can be described as unspeakably miserable.

After learning about Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Hongru's heart has not changed, and he always wants to be a founding emperor.At the beginning, Xu Hongru felt that the government was forcing the people to rebel, and it was understandable to rebel himself.Gradually, these things were forgotten, and Xu Hongru's heart was only left to be the emperor.

Sighing softly, Xu Hongru slowly fell into memories. He has always believed that people must have thoughts.Only with thoughts can you have the courage to pursue, and you can survive no matter what you encounter.

Back then, I had a low status in the White Lotus Sect, and because I had this thought, I came over step by step.If it weren't for the persistence in his heart, Xu Hongru felt that he might have died, and he had survived all these years by virtue of that persistence.

Since the 29th year of Wanli, I have joined hands with Wang Sen, Wang Haoxian and his son to establish Wenxiangmen outside of the White Lotus Sect. We have practiced in opening altars, preaching hard, absorbing congregants, organizing farmers, and conducting secret activities for more than 20 years. Over the past [-] years, I have encountered countless setbacks, but I have been able to survive each time and overcome difficulties every time. Xu Hongru believes that this time he will be able to do it too.

Originally, there was no plan to revolt this year, and it would not be until next year at the earliest, but the court found out about the existence of these people. For more than 20 years, I have not revealed my secrets, but suddenly they did.Xu Hongru couldn't figure it out. Could it be that there are insiders here?But who is this entry contestant?

Slowly sweeping across the people in the room, Xu Hongru's eyes swept over the faces of every person. If there is really an insider, then it must be among these people.If there is no insider, Xu Hongru himself would not believe it.I have a strict organization, although there are many people who teach outside, but not many people really know what they want to do.In Xu Hongru's heart, he believed that there must be subtleties in it.

I thought I would revolt first, and then find this spy during the uprising, so I led the crowd to revolt in the west of Juye, the south of Dancheng, Fan County, and Cuiyang, and tied the red turban as the symbol as agreed.Everything went smoothly in the beginning, and the rebel army grew to more than [-] people, which made Xu Hongru see himself as the emperor's emperor, but the fine line never appeared.

He led the soldiers and horses to capture Dancheng, Zouxian County, and Xixian County successively, plundered the monk boats in the canal, and attacked Qufu.After these few battles, I can be described as high-spirited, and feel that Yaoxia is in my hands.Perhaps if God wants to destroy it, he must first make it crazy, and perhaps he is really overwhelmed with complacency.

Sometimes Xu Hongru also wondered if it was because he believed in everything that all gods and demons did not bless him.He led the rebel army to occupy the Liangjialou area at the junction of Yuncheng and Juye, and became Emperor Fulie of Zhongxing. He was named Mahayana Xingsheng, established official positions, and established political power.In just a few days, he has developed more than [-] people, and successively captured Yuncheng, Juye and other places.At the same time, his other subordinates, Shen Zhi, Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Jianbai, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, Meng Xianhan, etc., also captured the county towns of Teng County, Zou County, Yi County and Xia Town, an important water transport route. <The wind is proud, but the good times don't last long.Without realizing anything, his army began to retreat steadily. When he didn't know anything, several soldiers had already been wiped out.

After withdrawing his gaze, Xu Hongru cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "This is the end, what's your idea?"

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay. They had followed Xu Hongru for many years, but not many of them really rebelled.Most of them have bad deeds and want to find a place to live, and Xu Hongru's place is just right.Xu Hongru is also willing to believe such people, after all, these people are not pure in themselves, and they will definitely not be able to get together with the dynasty.But Xu Hongru also knew that most of these recruits were cold-hearted, and it was not uncommon for one or two traitors to emerge.

After looking at each other for a while, no one spoke, no one had an idea.On the contrary, Youru's eyes kept rolling, but he didn't know what he was thinking, but it was definitely not a good thing.

Gently shaking his head, Xu Hongru looked helpless at this moment, it seemed that he thought being emperor was too easy.I don't know how Zhu Yuanzhang did it back then, and where is his competition?

"Master, the army is here!" Just when Xu Hongru was about to say something, he ran in quickly, knelt on the ground, and said loudly.

Rather helplessly, he took a look in the room, and it seemed that his plan would not come true. Standing up slowly, Xu Hongru said in a deep voice, "Where are the officers and soldiers? How many people have they come?"

"Master Hui, the officers and soldiers are just outside the city. There are quite a few of them, and there are tens of thousands of them." The reporter who reported the letter was a little incoherent. Then the officers and soldiers were really scared.

Slowly nodded, Xu Hongru said with a serious face: "Go! Let's go to the city wall to have a look!" After speaking, he walked outside first.

All the people followed behind Xu Hongru, each of them had serious expressions on their faces, but each of them had different eyes.Some have anger in their eyes, some have determination in their eyes, and some have an inexplicable gleam in their eyes.

Although he didn't look back, Xu Hongru also knew that the people behind him must have different thoughts, just like the so-called Hao Chengliang under the big tree.When he gains power, these people are naturally willing to follow him, even if it is rebellion.But once he loses power, it means that the wall is overwhelmed by the crowd, and these people may not necessarily do anything.What's more, there is a fine line in it, so when walking, Xu Hongru is very cautious.

When the group arrived at the top of the city, they saw groups of rebels. Although they were all preparing to defend the city, despair was written on everyone's face.They have all dealt with the official army, and basically fought with the official army, and they want to be clear about the combat effectiveness of the official army.

Seeing the row of cannons under the city, everyone looked very ugly, including Xu Hongru.Despair slowly rose in his heart. Now that he is trapped in the isolated city, with tens of thousands of well-equipped troops outside, he probably won't be able to hold on for long.

Different from the atmosphere in Dancheng, the Ming army outside was very relaxed. Those who set up camps and set up cannons were well-organized and not at all chaotic.

Walking quickly into the tent, Yang Zhaoji bowed to Xiong Wencan above, and said in a respectful tone: "Daru, when are we going to attack the city? Are we going to rest for the night?"

Gently waving his hand, signaling to Yang Zhaoji to excuse him, Xiong Wencan said with a blank expression: "This Dancheng is right in front of you, and Xu Hongru is also inside. As long as this place can be taken down, the rebellion in Shandong will be calmed down." Yang Zhaoji Commander-in-Chief, there are some things that need to be prepared, I don't know what you think?"

Hearing Xiong Wencan's words, Yang Zhaoji was taken aback for a moment, looked at Xiong Wencan and said hesitantly: "I don't understand the lowly position, please explain clearly!"

Frowning slightly, Xiong Wencan said with some displeasure: "General Yang, Wen Xiangmen has been working in Shandong for many years, and it seems that the time is not short. Whether it is Jin Yiwei, the governor of Shandong, or you, the Shandong general, there is no A yamen found out, it’s a shame to say it.”

Seeing Yang Zhaoji stunned, Xiong Wencan felt a little unhappy, this is really an idiot, how did he manage to get the position of chief soldier?But thinking of Yang Zhaoji's talent in leading the army, he felt relieved.I told him about the civil servant's affairs in the court, it was a chicken to duck talk, and Xiong Wencan didn't say anything anymore when he thought of this.

Glancing at Yang Zhaoji, Xiong Wencan said with a smile: "General Yang, you go to fight this battle! This officer will give you a preview of the enemy's formation, you can fight whatever you want, go!"

Hearing Xiong Wencan's words, Yang Zhaoji was stunned for a moment. The credit for capturing the enemy chieftain was not small. He really didn't expect that Xiong Wencan would give this credit to himself.He bowed to Xiong Wencan, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your cultivation!"

Gently waving his hand, Xiong Wencan said with a smile: "Go!" In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether he has the credit for capturing the enemy chief.

Xiong Wencan was born as a Jinshi, and he was promoted as an official in Huangzhou, and he never ordered Hanlin.In the Ming Dynasty, there was a practice that non-Hanlin officials would not join the cabinet, so Xiong Wencan would naturally not be able to enter the cabinet. Maybe he would be the head of the Ministry of War in this life.It's good to get the credit of your own supervisor. If you compete with your subordinates for credit, it will affect your reputation instead.

Naturally, Yang Zhaoji didn't understand Xiong Wencan's thoughts, he stopped thinking when he walked outside the tent, he came near the cannon, and said to a person: "You shoot into the city, try to hit the soldiers on the city, don't shoot inside. "

"Yes, General!" The member of Shenji Battalion saluted and said respectfully.

After a short time, the cannons rang out, and immediately inside and outside the entire Dan city, gunpowder filled the air and the cannons rumbled.

Not long after the cannon fired, Yang Zhaoji suddenly saw a huge white flag raised above the city, and he felt a sense of irony.
