I am the carpenter king

In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army conquered the Daxia Kingdom established by Ming Yuzhen, and set up Sichuan Chengxuan Zhengsi in Chengdu, of which Chengdu was the capital. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang named the No.11 son Zhu Chun the King of Shu. More than 200 years have passed, and Chengdu seems to have not changed much. Like the Three Kingdoms period, it is still the land of abundance.

However, Chengdu at this time was different from usual. The gates of Chengdu were tightly closed, and many people appeared outside the city but watched from a distance.There are many figures standing on the top of the city, and if you look carefully, they are all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Standing alone on the top of the city, looking at the frowns of the people below, it is obvious that this person is not in a good mood right now.This person was wearing a pale yellow python robe with a jade belt around his waist and his hands behind his back.

Behind this person stood a group of guards, compared to the soldiers on the top of the city, these guards were much more elite.

"My lord, the rebel army is coming, my lord should go back to the mansion! Just leave this place to the officials and others." A civil official standing not far away saluted this person and said respectfully. [

The person who is called the prince is the Shu king of this generation, and he is the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's eleventh son, named Zhu Zhishu.Hearing the man talking to him, the king of Shu looked back and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, the news from outside the city has arrived, and I know what's going on in Chengdu. Does Lord Zhu think that the king can feel at ease?" Stay in the palace?"

Master Zhu suddenly had a slightly embarrassed look on his face. It is impossible for Zhu Xieyuan, who is the chief envoy of Sichuan, to know what is going on outside Chengdu.But there are some things I know in my heart, but I really can't say them.

The prefectures of Lu and Xu around Chengdu collapsed, and the passes of Jumu and Longquan were lost. Commander Ran Shihong led his troops to resist the battle, and the whole army was wiped out.Zhu Xieyuan wants to stabilize the morale of the army and the people.Naturally, such a kid cannot be passed on.After pondering for a while, Zhu Xieyuan said in a deep voice: "My lord, as the chief envoy of Sichuan, it is my duty to guard the city. My lord is a noble man, if something goes wrong, I really can't afford it! "

Glancing at Zhu Xieyuan, the chief envoy of Sichuan, the King of Shu shook his head and smiled wryly, his heart full of regret.The meaning in Zhu Xieyuan's words is obvious. Since it is the responsibility of guarding the soil, it is natural to live and die with the city of Chengdu.

As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xieyuan is different from others.It can be said that the lineage of Shu kings is different from other princes.Starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Shu was rewarded more, and the later emperors also rewarded the king of Shu in order to win over the king.This reward is not just a verbal reward, but has a real content, that is the land.

After more than 200 years of rewards.Of course, there are also those who embezzled by themselves. Two-thirds of the fertile land in the Land of Abundance belongs to the Shu Palace.Of the remaining one-third, half are also related to the Shu Palace.If it is said who is the biggest landlord in the world at this time, then the King of Shu definitely deserves it.With so much land, it goes without saying that the king of Shu is rich, so the lineage of the king of Shu is very clean.

The lineage of the king of Shu is not only a guest but also a observant of etiquette.At the same time, it is also very good for the common people. During the disaster year, the rent is reduced and the grain is released, which has a very high prestige in the local area.It can be said that this is a model of the princes of the Ming Dynasty, but I don’t know that Emperor Tianqi knows that the entire Land of Abundance is almost the land of the King of Shu, and I don’t know what the heart of the emperor who has grayed hair because of money.

Zhu Xieyuan, the chief envoy of Sichuan, watched the King of Shu's thoughts constantly flipping. He had been in Sichuan for a long time, and he respected the King of Shu very much.This prince does not bully men and women, and he is very strict with the servants of the palace. Zhu Xieyuan thinks that this is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.So what Zhu Xieyuan said to the king of Shu.I don't flatter my whole body, a large part of it comes from my heart.

Nodding his head slowly, the King of Shu said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhu, this Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan. If this is lost, then the whole of Sichuan will be lost. At that time, you will be sorry for the trust of the current emperor, and this king will be sorry. The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. Master Zhu, I ask you to come here, and Master Zhu can tell me if there is anything you need."

"Don't worry, my lord. Although there are only two thousand defenders in Chengdu, there are a lot of Han family members here. It is wishful thinking for the barbarians outside the city to attack. I am deeply favored by the king, so I should do my best." Zhu Xieyuan said His voice was very firm, and his eyes were full of determination. It was obvious that Lord Zhu was ready.

He glanced at Zhu Xieyuan appreciatively, and the King of Shu said in a deep voice, "Lord Zhu, the city walls of Chengdu are tall, and it is very difficult to get in. They are just besieged. But don't be afraid, Lord Zhu. If there is not enough food in the city, Lord Zhu can come The Shu Palace is here."

As soon as the king of Shu said these words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew in their hearts that there were only [-] defenders in Chengdu, and there were [-] troops outside.If there is no food supply in Chengdu, those foreign barbarians from Shechongming will not be able to invade for the rest of their lives.As for the issue of food in Chengdu, perhaps the government and the common people don't have much food in storage, but there are many in the palace of the king of Shu.

No one knows how much food the Shu Palace has, but everyone knows that even if the food in the Shu Palace is fed to the whole city, it may not be enough for a year or two.They also believed that as long as the court got the news, reinforcements would arrive soon.

Giving a respectful salute to the king of Shu, Zhu Xieyuan said gratefully: "Your Majesty and all the people in the city have thanked the King of Shu!"

Gently waving his hand, the King of Shu said with a smile: "These people are the people of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Shu has received Guo En from his lineage. This is nothing." , said in a deep voice: "Zhang Wu, there are five hundred guards left in the palace, and you bring the rest here. Remember not to be arrogant, and all of them must be at Master Zhu's command!"

There are 5000 guards in the entire Shu Palace, which of course is not counted as slaves guarding the courtyard. Now the King of Shu has dropped all the guards from his palace, and everyone present is full of reverence.

Under the leadership of Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan Province, everyone saluted the tree king respectfully, and said loudly: "Your Majesty understands righteousness deeply, and you will be a thousand years old!"

The King of Shu looked at all the lords, smiled and helped Zhu Xieyuan up, and said politely: "My lords, this is all that this king can do, and the rest is up to you. Don't disappoint the emperor's trust, and don't let me down!"

The king of Shu left, but the officials and soldiers present all left a king of Shu in their hearts. Obviously, such a prince is the prince of the Ming Dynasty. [

The king of Shu who left the city was not as calm as before, his face was full of sorrow, and he sighed softly as he walked.These things are also a last resort, and these civil servants are all alone as officials here.If he died in battle, not only would the imperial court not pursue his crimes, but he might even reward him greatly.But the king of Shu is different, this is his root, and the entire lineage of the king of Shu is here.Once Chengdu is breached, the lineage of the King of Shu will definitely disappear from this world.

Looking back at the top of the city, King Shu's eyes were full of worry, and he said in a very low voice: "I hope what this king just said is effective, you must persevere! Chengdu cannot be breached, and Sichuan cannot be lost either! "

Naturally, no one knows what the king of Shu thinks, and even if they know, no one will be stupid enough to say it. Such things must rot in their stomachs.

The king of Shu on the top of the city left, and the biggest one was Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Sichuan. He scanned the crowd, and Zhu Xieyuan said in a serious voice: "Everyone, it is time for life and death. I believe that none of you wants to die. , so I hope that everyone can work together, not to disappoint the trust of the emperor, and not to disappoint the entrustment of the King of Shu."

"My lord, don't worry, I will follow your instruction!" Naturally, no one would come out to make trouble at this time, and they all bowed and said loudly.

Slowly nodding his head, Zhu Xieyuan said loudly: "The following officials are dispatching tasks, Chengdu Mansion!"

The prefect of Chengdu Prefecture on the side was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that he would be the first one to be called, so he hurried out and said in a deep voice, "Xiaguan is here!"

"Chengdu Mansion, I entrust you with all the servants and helpers of the Chief Envoy's Yamen and the Criminal Division's Yamen, plus the servants and helpers of the Chengdu Mansion. You take them to maintain the law and order in the city. Anyone who provokes trouble , can be shot to kill! Also, pay attention to the barbarians in the city, if they want to move, they will all be shot to death!" Zhu Xieyuan's eyes flashed coldly, and he couldn't care less now.

"Yes, my lord! I'll do it right away!" The Chengdu Mansion agreed very happily, and now he felt that if he did something wrong, Zhu Xieyuan would probably punish him on the spot.

Glancing around the people on the top of the city, he said loudly: "After you go back, get your people in order. Once the fighting starts, all the military supplies and supplies will be handed over to you."

People related to their responsibilities stepped forward, and they all patted their chests to assure, and they all knew in their hearts that if they didn't work hard at this time, people like themselves would die.

"Tiring Envoy Zhou Zhu, Deputy Commander Zheng Yu, I and you will divide the soldiers in the city into one, and then we will guard at each gate. Each of you is stationed at a city gate. I tell you, unless you let someone carry it down, Otherwise, no one will be allowed to come down." Zhu Xieyuan's expression had already become ferocious, he was determined to live and die with Chengdu.

After being named, he hurried out and patted his chest to Zhu Xieyuan to reassure him, but Zhang Wu, the general of the palace guard, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhu, leave the remaining gate to me!"

Zhu Xieyuan originally didn't want the palace guards to defend the city, but seeing Zhang Wu's serious expression, he nodded slowly.

The layout of the city in Chengdu is almost the same, and there are more and more people outside the city. In a short time, there are already a sea of ​​people!
