please make me king

Chapter 1261 "Recruitment"

"Are you Fu Qingzhu?" Zhu Xieyuan, Zuo Zhuguo of Ming Dynasty, Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Zuo Supervisor, looked at the young man in front of him, and asked involuntarily.

"Students have met Zhu Sima!" Fu Qingzhu stepped forward and said, "My great-grandfather is Yibin, Chengwulang of Ninghua Prefecture. My grandfather was a councilor in Shandong and a soldier in Liaohai."

"Now I am studying at Sanli Academy and listening to Yuan Tixue's teachings."

Ninghua Mansion is the king's mansion of Ninghua County, which is a branch of the King of Jin.

Since Fu Qingzhu's grandfather took the daughter of the county king, he can also be considered to be of the Zhu family's royal lineage from the matriarchal line.

And his mentor, Yuan Tixue, was a member of the Donglin Party and a member of Shanxi Tixue, Yuan Jixian. Judging from the context, he has Donglin blood.

"Master Ling and Zhang Xunyong don't want to get involved in their grievances. This time, you can just be my lobbyist!" Zhu Xieyuan shook his head and said indifferently.

What kind of Yibin, what kind of Yuan Tixue students are nothing to Zhu Xieyuan.

Since Zhu Xieyuan was willing to meet him in person, it was natural that he had already found out his identity and background.

It turned out that Yuan Jixian, a Shanxi Tixue student, had a gap with Zhang Sunzhen, the Shanxi censor, so he impeached him in the name of accepting bribes.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian was furious and put him in prison.

Now more than a thousand people from the government and the opposition have joined forces to appeal for his grievances, and hundreds of students in Shanxi are running for him, and the crowd is furious for a while.

Then Fu Qingzhu was willing to take the risk to visit him this time. Apart from planning for his own future, he naturally also meant to test Zhu Xieyuan's attitude.

Now that Zhu Xieyuan is busy with military affairs, he doesn't have the time to participate in such things, so he refused first, and then said:
"The governor sits in this Taiyuan city, so naturally he has to defend it to the end. However, if he defends for a long time, he will lose. I can defend it for a month but not a year, and I can defend it for a year but not ten years." Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help admonishing.

"As the saying goes, 'kungfu is beyond poetry', and it has been the same with fighting with soldiers since ancient times."

"Although the momentum of this 'shun thief' is in full swing, in fact, if you look closely, it's just a patchwork of things, and they are barely hooked together. Therefore, the worries of the other generation are not with you and me, but with the 'inside the Xiaoqiang'."

"I heard that the 'intruder' Li Zicheng is quite ready to compete with him, and his wife was once humiliated by the 'Shun thief'. This feud cannot be shared, and it is a coincidence."

"This time when you rush to Shaanxi, you only need to tell the thief to 'in any case' or 'self-reliance'. He is not a special 'intruder', and other rebel generals Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng, etc., if you have the opportunity, you can say it together. Of."

"Even if you can't persuade the other generation, you can still take the opportunity to alienate the relationship between the other generation and the 'Shun thief', making them suspicious."

"When the time comes, the 'Shun Bandit' will face the enemy, and the defeat will be known. In this way, the world will be safe, and the people will be in trouble. This is due to Zhang Yi, Su Qin's contribution!"

"Students take orders!" Fu Qingzhu couldn't help being high-spirited when he heard the words, and hurriedly clapped his hands in response.

"It's just that it's thousands of miles to go to Shaanxi. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. I don't have any news. I miss my mother. I don't know how long Da Sima can stay there, so that the students can feel at ease."

"Don't worry, this governor knows about military affairs. He harvested a hundred miles of rice and millet into the city early, repaired the city, compiled and trained soldiers and horses, and can defend himself for more than a year." Zhu Xieyuan couldn't help laughing, "Even if Taiyuan doesn't defend, this governor will I will arrange for your family, you can rest assured!"

"Master, urgent military situation, urgent military situation!" Zhu Xieyuan had just finished speaking, and he had heard Luo Xianggan, the general of the Biaobattalion, remind him outside.

"Okay, let's go now, I have some military affairs to deal with!" Zhu Xieyuan frowned, worried that it would not be good news and affect Fu Qingzhu's confidence, so he hurriedly dismissed him.

Fu Qingzhu was straining his ears, ready to eavesdrop. Hearing this, he couldn't help saying goodbye to Zhu Xieyuan with regret, and left Taiyuan City all the way west.

Not to mention how Fu Qingzhu behaved, let's say that after Zhu Xieyuan sent Fu Qingzhu away, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"The city of Taiyuan was attacked by the 'Shun bandits' for several days. Who would have thought that yesterday the bandits suddenly brought in red cannons and bombarded the city walls." Luo Xiangqian couldn't help reporting to Zhu Xie Yuanhui with his mouthful of "Trump".

"The general Jiang Xiang couldn't resist himself, so he led his light cavalry out of the city to fight in waves. Unexpectedly, he was captured by bandits, and the city of Taiyuan fell."

Zhu Xieyuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he quickly ordered: "Hurry up and send someone to let Li Fuming back. Since the county town is down, the old county tower is not enough to defend."

Zhu Xieyuan had already had lingering fears from the artillery of the rebel army.

Now that the rebel army has moved the "Hongyi cannon", Li Fuming, the deputy commander of Shanxi Province who Zhu Xieyuan camped in Geta, Jiuxian County, must not be able to withstand the artillery of the rebel army.

Rather than losing a battalion of troops for no reason, it is better to preserve their strength and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

It was night, Li Fuming hung sheep and beat drums, gathered grass as soldiers, abandoned the old county Geta camp at night, and ran all the way back to Taiyuan Fucheng.

How did Zhang Shun expect this guy to be so decisive?Before he had time to completely close the encirclement, he was allowed to escape.

However, this small mistake does not affect the overall situation at all.

The rebel army then took Taiyuan County as the foundation and entered Taiyuan Fucheng.

Taiyuan City faces Fen River in the west, high slope in the east, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and faces water on one side. The city is twenty-five miles long, three feet five feet high, covered with bricks, and the pool is three feet deep.

There are eight gates: Yichun and Yinghui in the east; Yingze and Chengen in the south; Fucheng and Zhenwu in the west; Zhenyuan and Gongji in the north.

In addition to the main city, Taiyuan also has three pass cities: Nanguan, Beiguan and Xinbao.

Nanguan City was built in the Jingtai period. On Friday, there are five gates, and there are Liancheng and the main city.

The two cities of Beibeiguan and Newcastle were specially used to garrison soldiers on Tuesday.

It is precisely because Taiyuan City has such complete facilities and a tall city that Zhu Xieyuan, the left governor, dared to go against the norm and stick to it, not afraid of the onslaught of the rebels.

"What a Dragon City!" Zhang Shun came to the outside of Taiyuan City, looked around for a long time, and couldn't help saying with emotion.

Sun Chuanting knew this early on, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "The Xiongcheng of Taiyuan is not a one-day achievement. King Shun should make plans early for a long-term plan."

"Good!" Zhang Shun nodded, and then led his guards to investigate all the terrain south of Taiyuan, and then chose the bank of the Fen River south of Yanqiu outside Taiyuan City as a stronghold.

"There is a ferry here, which can just be expanded." Zhang Shun pointed out, "The higher terrain on the bank can build camps and granaries."

Sun Chuanting, Xu Quan, Zhang Dashou and others had no opinion, but just asked Zhang Shun to give the map so that the building could be built according to the order.

It's just that when everyone got the blueprint and opened it, they couldn't help being stunned.

Do you know why?

It turned out that Zhang Shun's composition was based on the granary as the core, the ferry as the subsidiary, and the military camp around it.

The barracks are like a bastion, with cannons, it is really impenetrable, even if the Ming army comes to attack with a hundred thousand troops, it may not be able to break the city.

"His Royal Highness King Shun, you are..." Sun Chuanting, who is such a kind person, suddenly noticed the strangeness in it.

Zhang Shun looked around at the crowd, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Taiyuan City is tall, if you look south from the south wall, this granary must be very eye-catching."

"You said, if this king recruits troops based on it, and the monthly salary is one stone, then I don't know how many people will flock to it?"

"Recruiting soldiers?" Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and turned their heads to look at Jiang Xiang, who was standing next to the newly recruited group, and suddenly realized.

beat?What to fight!

The monthly salary of our army is twice that of the Ming army, and now we have the "flag" of Jiang Xiang.As long as you recruit fifty people today, you can recruit one hundred people tomorrow.

I'm afraid it will be less than a month, and the tens of thousands of Ming troops in Taiyuan City will be defeated without a fight. How can they be the opponents of the rebels?
