Qiming 1158

Chapter 1321 I must coexist with Hangzhou
Zhang Shi did not expect that he would get the military power in Hangzhou so easily.

This vital power will be the foundation for him to lay the foundation for a complete victory for the Ming country's strategy of going south.

This is of course a good thing, but since the military power is in hand, it means that Shen Gai and others are about to get wet.

It seems that although the rumors have spread, the Hangzhou bureaucrats have long been frightened by the repeated directing of the Ming army to Hangzhou, and they have become frightened birds.

As soon as I heard the news that the Yellow River project was about to be completed, I immediately thought of Su Yonglin coming to Hangzhou, and immediately thought that he was hanging on the southeast branch and fluttering in the wind.

Only at this level could the imagination of the Southern Song bureaucrats make such a leap.

So no matter when the Ming Kingdom attacks them, they must moisten them first, the sooner the better and the farther the better, the mess will be left behind, and they will flee happily.

Of course, Zhang Shi felt that what the bureaucrats were so worried about was mainly the 3 Ming army in the northeast of Hangzhou City.

That branch was an important support for the Hangzhou court to rule the remaining land of the Southern Song Dynasty, a safety valve in their hearts, and an existence that made them feel happy.

But time has passed, and the Yellow River in the Ming Dynasty has been repaired. Now the Ming army of 3 people has become a reminder. As long as they decide to act, no one in Hangzhou will be able to escape.

What Shen Gai said when they had the last conversation with Zhang Shi proved that Zhang Shi's guess was right.

"The Ming army that was left behind in order to strengthen the deterrence of the imperial court has actually become our reminder. It's not that a large group of people like us are timid people. When it reaches Hangzhou, there is no danger to defend it, so it will be surrounded, and by then, we will surely die without a place to be buried.”

Shen Kai picked up the jug and filled Zhang Shi with wine, and said helplessly: "Although I feel a lot of reluctance in my heart, I have to do what I need to do, so as not to worry about the overthrow of the family, and I don't have many other things. Having said that, I just want to confirm, Jingfu, are you really not leaving?"

Zhang Shi picked up the full wine glass and smiled.

"I'm already a Pingzhang military and state affairs. If I didn't take this appointment, I might leave, but now, even if I want to leave, I can't leave, everyone is looking at me, if I change a little, they will What do you think?"

This reason is impeccable, and Shen Kai has nothing to say.

"In this case, I have cut off the way Jingfu can finally leave... Jingfu, I..."

"This is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with Xianggong."

Zhang Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "Although I am a little nervous in my heart to be able to walk this road, I feel a little free and easy. The pain and confusion for so long are finally coming to an end here. My father should have been waiting for me for a long time. Think, it's time to meet him."

"Then there's no need to keep the family in the city, right?"

Shen Gai frowned and said, "I heard that you brought your family to Hangzhou, and you made a big fanfare to let people know that this...isn't it right?"

Zhang Shi still shook his head and smiled.

"If I didn't bring my family to Hangzhou and let everyone know that when the Ming army was besieging the city, how could the soldiers and people in the city believe that I would stick to Hangzhou and never waver? I exchanged my family for the military and people's will in Hangzhou. worth it."

This is also an impeccable and quite reasonable reason, and it sounds quite tragic, and it is easy to arouse people's trust, sympathy and emotion.

So Shen should be very moved.

"King Fu, you..."

"Xianggong, this is the path I chose by myself. Kneeling, I have to finish the walk. Even if my head is cut off with a knife by the Ming people, I will never give in. I am a Da Song person in life, and a Da Song ghost in death."

"But your family...you can leave a way for the family."

"Thousands of families have not left in the city of Hangzhou. As a Pingzhang military and state affairs, how can I abandon them and survive? I have family members, they also have family members, I live and die with them, and my family members also live and die together. To live and die with their families, so that they can be worthy of them."

Zhang Shi was righteous with his words, and Shen Ji had completely broken the defense.

"Respect..."

He shed tears of pain and shame in front of Zhang Shi's face, and the wish in his heart that he wanted to be remembered by Qing Shi suddenly swelled up, and he almost said that he wanted to stay with him.

But soon this inflated wish was punctured and retracted.

He Shen Gai is just a mortal after all, a mortal who escapes, a mortal who has no courage, a mortal who is about to escape by boat to Goryeo.

A mortal like him should be ashamed to face a saint like Zhang Shi.

After a long time, Shen Gai wiped the tears from his face and raised his head to look at Zhang Shi.

"If that's the case, then everything will be entrusted to Jingfu, and also, about the matter of the king..."

"I understand that before I die, the palace will definitely be set on fire, and the lord of the country will eventually be buried in the sea of ​​​​fire with me. The crime is counted on the people of the Ming Dynasty and has nothing to do with me."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Shen Gai nodded and was silent for a while before taking out a map from his arms.

"It's just that the fire in the palace is not enough, Jingfu, you have this blueprint. This is my map of the [-] arson sites. Once the city cannot be guarded, we must set fire to these [-] places in advance, set fire to the city, and call it Ming Ming. The people of the country get nothing!"

Hangzhou, that is the great city in the world built by the Southern Song Dynasty's blood-sucking half of Jiangnan.

Even if it can't be kept, it can't be left to the Ming Kingdom, and even if it is burned to the ground, it can't be left to the Ming Kingdom.

Burn them all, completely burn them down, let the people of Ming Dynasty cry without tears in front of the white ground!
Shen Gai unfolded the map, informed Zhang Shi of the [-] arson points, and then asked Zhang Shi to check the [-] arson points to see if the fire was ready, and sent someone to take over as soon as possible to ensure that this was the case. Three hundred arson sites will not be destroyed.

In the end, Shen Gai held Zhang Shi's hand and looked at him affectionately.

"In this life, although I won't be able to see Jingfu again, I will firmly remember Jingfu's appearance, and after my death, I will order my family to build a tomb for Jingfu next to my grave, and when my descendants worship their ancestors, I will also offer incense for the husband, respect the husband and go, and there is no need to worry about the future!"

Zhang Shi nodded solemnly.

"I will live and die with Hangzhou!"

Then he turned around and sent someone to give this map to Su Changsheng.

He asked Su Changsheng to quickly send someone to verify whether the [-] arson sites were real, and then he began to prepare for the city defense.

Since he has done Pingzhang military and state affairs, the political power, military, financial and power are in his hands. How should Shen do this position, he will do this position.

Moreover, the bureaucrats of Shen's group basically have to follow Shen Cairun, so they no longer have any views on the position of power. They all cooperated with what Zhang Shi wanted to do.

There is no need to have any unpleasantness with the dying person.

So Zhang Shi directly got the same level of power as a dictator, basically doing whatever he wanted.

In this context, Zhang Shi was able to start some personnel changes logically.

In order to cover up the secrets and create an environment for the bureaucrats to run away, it is inappropriate to carry out a large-scale personnel replacement immediately, and it is easy to cause panic. He just made some fine-tuning.

For example, he appointed his younger brother Zhang Pyo as the defense envoy of the palace, bringing an army that he absolutely trusted, and changing the defense of the palace with the people originally arranged by Shen, and taking over control of the entire imperial city.

This is reasonable and reasonable, and no one else has an opinion. His younger brother Zhang Piao absolutely obeys his orders, and it is very simple to deal with Zhao Dun.

It's a matter of course.

Then came a wave of military changes.
