please make me king

Chapter 1220 Second Step Plan

Fu Dingchen, styled Qingzhu, was born in Taiyuan.

When Ding Chen was young, he was well-read and knowledgeable, and he could recite the book after reading it several times.

At the age of [-], he became a doctoral student, and at the age of [-], he took a senior examination.

Then he studied at Sanli Academy, and was favored by Shanxi Tixue Yuan Jixian and became one of his favorite students.

The above content is all the information that Zhang Shun obtained from Han Lin about Fu Dingchen.

It sounds like a talented person, but Zhang Shun is not so urgent because he doesn't have any working experience.

In fact, for Zhang Shun now, it doesn't matter whether he recruits Sang Gongyang or not, and it doesn't even matter whether he recruits Fu Dingchen.

The most important thing is to have a group of grassroots officials who can serve as prefectures and counties, and restore Shanxi's administrative system as soon as possible.

Of course, as the leader of the rebel army, Zhang Shun definitely couldn't put this on his face.

He had to do a good job of being a corporal, in order to disintegrate the resistance will of the gentry of the Ming Dynasty and attract more talents to vote.

"Let's go, it's time to go!" Zhang Shun obeyed Sang Gongyang and bid farewell to his old mother, then shook his head and ordered.

In fact, Zhang Shun didn't have much regret in failing to recruit Sang Gongyang.

Maybe he is indeed quite talented, but he has no experience of guarding a place, so he can't be of much use for the time being. It can even be said that ten Sang Gongyang may not be worth a Jiangzhou magistrate Lei Chong.

Just after returning to Jiangzhou City, a soldier came to report: "General Zhang Fengyi, Commander-in-Chief Zhaode, has arrived and has already moved into the state government office."

It turned out that Zhang Fengyi's first task of leading more than [-] soldiers and horses on the left wing was to seize Hejin, Jishan and Jiangzhou successively.

As a result, she not only completed the task brilliantly, but also took advantage of her abundant time to capture Quwo in the east of Jiangzhou.

Now that he heard that Zhang Shun had arrived in Jiangzhou, he privately led a team and rushed back.

Zhang Shun was startled when he heard the words, fearing that she would have a conflict with the Huang family, Da Zhu family and the female servants who stayed in Jiangzhou government office, he bid farewell to everyone and ran back in a hurry.

Just as Zhang Shun opened the door and entered, he saw a majestic female general sitting in the main hall with a big horse and a golden knife, and three beautifully dressed women were accompanying them with smiles on their faces.

The female general in the middle was holding a huge teapot with both hands, and raised her neck to "gudong gudong" to drink.

"Oh, my female general has returned in triumph!" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"King Shun?" Zhang Fengyi was taken aback when she heard the sound, quickly put down the teapot in her hand, and hurriedly wiped the water stains from the corners of her mouth, but hiccupped again.

Zhang Fengyi was ashamed of it, and for a moment she was so ashamed that she wanted to get under the table, but Huang Shi, Da Zhu Shi and the three maidservants all covered their mouths and laughed.

"We're both old couples, what's there to be embarrassed about?" Zhang Shun smiled, nodded to the three girls, then stepped forward and took Zhang Fengyi's somewhat rough hand, asking involuntarily.

"No injuries, right? How is the battle going, is it going well?"

Zhang Fengyi knew that she had traveled all the way, and now that she drank so much tea, she was already sweating profusely, and being so stuffed by the armor on her body, the smell would definitely not be pleasant.

She dodged outside for a while, and then said seriously: "Our army is destroyed, and the Ming army is vulnerable."

"Before I came back, the Sichuan soldiers under my command had captured the Houma Station, and now they are besieging Quwo County. Good news will arrive soon."

"Okay!" Zhang Shun couldn't help clapping his hands and laughed when he heard the words, "This just cuts off the connection between Puerzhou and Pingyang and Taiyuan. I will give you a big credit!"

Houma Post Station is where Houma County is located in later generations, and it is the only place to pass through from Xie and Pu'er Prefecture [-] Counties in the direction of Pingyang in Pingyang Prefecture.

The rebel army cut off here, which meant that the [-] counties of Xiezhou and Puzhou had no reinforcements and could only be slowly defeated by the rebel army.

"That, that, the document intercepted by me at the Houma Post Station shows that General Cao Wenzhao is about to conquer Wenxi, and Yu Chongxiao's attack on Jiezhou is not going well, and there are still three places in Jiezhou, Anyi and Xia County that have not yet been occupied by the rebels. .” Zhang Fengyi hesitated for a moment, and could not help reporting.

"Oh?" The documents reported by Cao Wenzhao, Yu Chongxiao, Li Xin and others should have arrived in the past few days. Zhang Shun nodded and said.

"Sure enough, it's 'unsatisfactory things in life, very often!"

"Will it have a big impact? Do I need to do anything?" Zhang Fengyi frowned upon hearing this, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, all the variables are within the acceptable range!" Zhang Shun shook his head with a smile.

"You go and wash up, and the military situation will arrive in a while, let's worry about it!"

Jiangzhou is the first node of the rebel army's "Great Depth Combat" plan. According to the military order before the start of the war, on the tenth day of the start of the war, no matter how the progress is, the combat situation must be reported to the direction of Jiangzhou City.

And today is the tenth day, and the battle situation in various places should almost be reported.

After Zhang Fengyi finished washing and changed into casual clothes, the two went hand in hand to find Sun Chuanting, Xu Ziyuan and others.

"King Shun, General Zhang!" Now Xu Ziyuan is in charge of Zhang Shun's staff, and Sun Chuanting is planning for him. The two met Zhang Shun and Zhang Fengyi quickly.

After the two sides exchanged courtesy, Zhang Shun asked, "Have the military information from various places been sent over? What's the situation now?"

"Reporting to King Shun, the left-wing General Zhang captured Hejin, Jishan, and Jiangzhou successively, and is now storming Quwo, and he has made great contributions!" Xu Ziyuan couldn't help but stepped forward to report, and by the way, he complimented Zhang Fengyi quietly.

"Forward Cao Wenzhao captured the Linjin and Yi clans successively, and now Wenxi has just been captured."

"Yu Chongxiao's troops on the right attacked Ruicheng and Pinglu successively, and now they have been attacking Jiezhou for a long time. The division of troops will besiege Anyi, and it is expected to be conquered within three to five days."

"Ma Jinzhong, the left commander of the South Route Army, Li Xin, conquered Jiang County, but not Xia County."

"Left Commander Li Xin of the South Route Army divides his forces to attack Yueyang. I don't know who is in command and what battalion it is. How is the progress now?"

"The new forward general Zhang Tianlin has now conquered Xiangling, and is only one step away from Pingyang Fucheng."

"Well, although there are some twists and turns, the first task has been basically completed." Zhang Shun nodded and concluded with a blank expression.

Of course, the actual situation is not as easy as Zhang Shun said.

Jiezhou and Anyi are where the Hedong Salt Pond is located, which almost supplies the table salt of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other places, and even sells it in Huguang and Beyond the Great Wall.

If the rebel army can seize this place as soon as possible, production can be resumed sooner.

On the one hand, it can maintain the stability of the salt price, and on the other hand, it can relieve the financial pressure of the rebel army and obtain salt income.

"Cao Wenzhao partly dispatched Cao Dingjiao's first battalion to help Yu Chongxiao seize Jiezhou, Anyi and Xia County." Zhang Shun pondered for a while, and slightly modified the original second plan.

"The headquarters fell to Jiangzhou for a little repair. It is ready to go out of Quwo, capture Yicheng and Fushan to the east, and connect with Zezhou."

"Yu Chongxiao continues to attack Jiezhou, Anyi, and Xia County. It is important to seize them in an all-round way. There is no need to rush."

"Fengyi, the Sichuan soldiers under your command are good at fighting in the mountains. Please go north to capture Taiping, Xiangning, and Jizhou, and then march into the three counties of Xizhou."

"The concubine takes orders!" Zhang Fengyi's attack route remained unchanged according to the original plan, so she naturally had no objections.

Seeing that the crowd didn't have any opinions, Zhang Shun said again: "Military law is like a mountain, I don't want to be verbose anymore. If you pass on the order, if you dare to disobey and miss the military plane, don't blame me for dealing with the military law!"
