please make me king

Chapter 1215 Conflict
Since He Fu, the magistrate of Puzhou, died after touching the stele, Zhang Shun successively recruited more than a thousand people, including Han Yu, the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Aheng, the deputy envoy of Pingyang Mansion in charge of Hedong Road, general Zheng Jiadong, and Zhang Shang, a thousand households in Puzhou. Basically, the remnants of the Ming army were freed from the river transport channel of the Yi army, so they wanted to rush to Jiangzhou.

From Puzhou to Jiangzhou, it is [-] miles by land and [-] miles by water.

Zhang Shun ordered Sun Shoufa to be the guard general of Puzhou, and promoted Zhang Luxuan, the son of Zhang Shenyan, to be the magistrate of Puzhou to guard the "Sanhekou" and guard Pubanjin.

He led Han Yu, Song Xiance, Wu Aheng, Zheng Jiadong and other guards to leave Puzhou.

Light boats and fast sails, traveling hundreds of miles a day, it only took two and a half days for everyone to arrive outside Jiangzhou City in the afternoon of the third day.

Zhang Shun got out of the cabin and saw thousands of sails lined up on the Fen River outside the city, with flags like clouds.

The camps set up by the rebels lined up along the river, neatly all over the bank of the Fen River.

There was another loud yell nearby, Zhang Shun turned his head and saw thirty or fifty soldiers driving cattle and mules, dragging a [-]-jin red barbarian cannon "General Qingtian" to the ship beside him.

It turned out that these cannons were extremely heavy, and the rebels had to use water transportation to transport them.

It was originally unloaded from here and was going to be used to attack Jiangzhou City, but I didn't expect it to be useless now.

"His Royal Highness Qi Zou, Jiangzhou City has fallen, the former army Zhang Tianlin brought Han Lin, Zhang Rukui, Dang Shousu, Jiangzhou Zhizhou Lei Chong, gentleman Duan Gun, etc. to welcome His Highness!" Ji Longfeng hurriedly reported on Qianhui.

Since the last surrender, Zhang Shun liked him for his bravery, and for the sake of peace of mind, he kept him by his side.

However, Wang Jinyi still had doubts about him, so he just sent him to do some "errands" so as not to affect Zhang Shun's safety.

This Ji Longfeng is different from Wang Jinyi, Chen Changbing, Li Xin and others. Apart from their high martial arts skills, the latter all have regular careers, and some are even grannies.

But Ji Longfeng is just an honest and responsible martial artist, usually farming and practicing martial arts in his spare time, and has no status of the latter three.

Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with Zhang Shun's arrangement, on the contrary, he became more diligent.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun looked up when he heard the words, and saw Zhang Tianlin and others leading a group of people rushing over.

"Lei Chong, the criminal minister of Jiangzhou, has seen His Royal Highness King Shun!" Before Zhang Shun looked carefully, someone had already stepped forward to plead guilty.

"Ah? Sir, please get up, please get up!" Zhang Shun hurriedly helped the man up, and said happily.

"Mr. upholds righteousness and abandons secrets. He votes for Qin. It's too late for Zhang to be happy. How can there be any reason to blame him!"

"Mr. Lei is a native of Heyang County, Xi'an Prefecture. He has successively served as the teacher of Yuci, Qingyuan, Fengrun and other counties and Xuezheng of Zezhou." Han Lin was afraid that Zhang Shun would not understand and neglected this person, so he couldn't help explaining quickly.

"Whenever there is a famine, my husband donates his salary to relieve the hunger. A few days ago, he actually transported more than a thousand stones of grain stored in his family to Jiangzhou to relieve the hunger. It is really an 'old parent official'!"

"Hey, absurd praise, absurd praise, I dare not take it, I dare not take it!" The almost white-haired Lei Chong couldn't help waving his hands when he heard the words, looking embarrassed.

Zhang Shun couldn't help being quite surprised when he heard the words, he didn't expect that Ming Dynasty didn't have good officials.

Of course, he didn't know that according to the original historical line, this "good official" would soon be squeezed out and become an official, and then stayed at home for more than [-] years, until he passed away forever, and was not used again.

Of course, the reason why Lei Chong took refuge in the rebel army so happily this time, apart from Han Lin's persuasion, there may not be no reason why he has been criticized recently.

After Zhang Shun comforted him, Han Lin dragged another person forward and said, "This person's name is Duan Gun, and his name is Jiuzhang. He is a Jiangzhou gentry. He has contributed a lot to the matter of Jiangzhou City this time." .”

Oh?Zhang Shun glanced at the cross on his chest, and couldn't help but understand it.

It turned out that during the Wanli period, brothers Han Yun and Han Lin went to Songjiang to study with their father, and it happened that Xu Guangqi and Ding You from the "Western Fa Party" were at home.

From this, the two brothers came into contact with Catholicism, "learned the art of war from Xu Guangqi, and learned the art of guns from Gao Zesheng".

Then Han Yun joined the religion and was baptized in the forty-eighth year of Wanli.

In the first year of Tianqi, Han Yun invited Ai Julian to Jiangzhou to baptize his family, and Catholicism was introduced to Shanxi.

Among them, the Duan Gun family and the Han Lin family are the two pillars of Catholic missionary work in Jiangzhou.

This time Han Lin took Jiangzhou lightly, presumably the Catholic Church was powerful in it.

Not to mention how vigilant Zhang Shun was, but he said with a smile: "A true righteous man, I wonder if Your Excellency would like to build a career with me?"

Never thought about that, but Duan Gun shook his head and said: "Fame is not my wish, but I hope my teaching will prosper."

"My lord, God, is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipotent. He is no less than Confucius and Mencius. The acquisition of Jiangzhou now depends entirely on his strength. If Your Highness can honor it, what is the world worth?"

Han Lin's expression changed drastically when he heard the words. He knew that Zhang Shun had a lot of resistance to Catholicism.

Therefore, before meeting Zhang Shun, he repeatedly urged Duan Dang not to mention this matter, but he never expected that this person would be so stubborn.

In fact, the reason why Duan Gun mentioned this matter so inopportunely, he had his own intentions in mind.

He made sure that the new army would occupy Jiangzhou, and the "King Shun" would definitely appease the Catholics who had demoted officials and contributed a lot in the city.

He took the opportunity to make such a "small" request, presumably King Shun would not refuse it outright.

Yo, this is about to "force the palace"!

Zhang Shun half-closed his eyes, and gave Han Lin a sideways glance.

Duan Gun thought that he, like the people of this era, was not very sensitive to these things.

But they didn't know that Zhang Shun came from a later generation, and he knew more about beliefs than they did.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "Master Duan is indeed a pious person, but I don't know which famous people in Jiangzhou City have also joined this Catholicism?"

Zhang Shun glanced at Han Lin, as if he was being stared at by a fierce tiger. He was terrified immediately, and a chill rushed up from the bottom of his heart.

Don't look at Zhang Shun as a docile cat like a harmless domestic cat, in fact he is a fierce tiger that eats people without spit out bones.

After Han Lin was forced by Zhang Shun to join the rebel army, he witnessed how he got to the present step by step.

Let alone a group of arrogant soldiers under his command, Zhang Shenyan is a famous scholar in Zelu, Lu Weiqi is a great Confucian in Heluo, Hong Chengchou is a governor of Ming Dynasty, and Li Ziben is a fierce bandit in Shaanxi.

Some of these people are life and death enemies and enemies of each other, while some are arrogant and innocent.

King Shun was able to subdue these people who were ruled by people, and he was willing to sacrifice his life for them, which shows his ability.

Duan Gun, who dares to stroke his beard!
At that time, Duan Gun didn't know that Han Lin had already mourned for him in his heart, and he also said that Zhang Shun really fell into his scheming.

He couldn't help but hastily replied: "Now only in this Jiangzhou city, there are me, my brothers Duan Xi and Duan Yu, and the Han family Han Yun and Han Lin, and there are countless other believers..."

"I am a Catholic. I specialize in astronomy, calendar, arithmetic, architecture, art of war, and artillery. I am proficient in everything."

"If Your Highness gets our help, imitating the old Confucian calendar, dismissing hundreds of schools, and only respecting my teaching, then it will be easy to take over the world."

"How courageous!" Before Duan Gun could finish his sentence, Sun Chuanting, the former governor of Shanxi, Wu Aheng, the former deputy envoy of Hedong, and Lei Chong, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, suddenly became furious.

They were born as Confucian scholars, read the books of sages and sages, and studied literature and martial arts. How can this guy be allowed to speak out here without shame?

Don't look at the "heresy" "slandering Confucianism" and "non-Confucianism" like Li Zhi in the late Ming Dynasty, but he still originated from the Taizhou School of Yangming Xinxue, and he will definitely not affect these people.

And if the Catholic Church really gains power, and the entire social and political ethics have undergone subversive changes, where is their place?
For a while, the crowd was furious, and a conflict of ideas between the East and the West provoked by Duan Gun was about to break out.
