please make me king

Chapter 1550 You Hit You, I Hit Mine

"What, Iron Mountain is lost!" Zhang Shuncong was shocked when the envoy from Dongjiang Town heard these words.

Tieshan and Xuanzhou are only separated by water from Phi Island and Shenmi Island.

If Iron Mountain is lost, then Xuanzhou won't last long.

Once Tieshan and Xuanzhou are lost, both Phi Island and Shenmi Island will hang alone in the sea, almost becoming a dead game.

"North Korea suddenly completely surrendered to the Tartars, and the North Korean navy was in danger of cutting off our army's retreat, so they had to retreat..." the envoy of Dongjiang Town defended somewhat lacking in confidence.

"How many warships and soldiers did the North Korean navy send this time? How many warships and soldiers did the later Jin send? How long can you hold on?"

Things have happened, and now is not the time for accountability.Therefore, Zhang Shun avoided talking about it, and directly picked out the key points to ask.

"North Korea sent more than 5000 large and small warships this time, with about [-] gunners." The envoy replied quickly after hearing the words.

"The Tartars sent about ten thousand soldiers, basically no warships."

"We... we can last for three months at most, maybe not even three months..."

"Okay, this king understands, you go down now!" Zhang Shun's face darkened when he heard the words, and he couldn't help issuing the order to evict the guest.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't do this, you can't do this! There are more than [-] people in Dongjiang Town, waiting for your help..." The messenger was stunned when he heard the words, and couldn't help but threw himself on the ground, begging bitterly.

"Who said that the king doesn't plan to send troops?" Zhang Shun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, but he didn't expect his unhappy expression to misunderstand him.

"Then...then you agreed?" the messenger was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said happily.

"It's a big matter, so we need to think long-term. Go back and wait for the letter!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard the words, and didn't say he agreed, nor did he say he didn't agree.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Min is waiting for your Highness's good news!" The envoy saluted Zhang Shun even though he couldn't hide his disappointment.

"Your Highness, it's hard to handle!" After the envoy left, without waiting for Zhang Zhoutian and Zhu Sinu to speak, Hong Niangzi came out worriedly.

"That's right, isn't it easy?" Zhang Shun chuckled, and further explained, "North Korea alone dispatched more than [-] warships, although it may not be as sharp as our warships, it is also quite troublesome. "

The so-called navy of the rebel army today is basically the weak Tianjin navy.

In addition to the Fengzhou warships being transformed and the new bird ships being built, there are actually only one Fuchuan, eleven Haicang ships, and 21 Cangshan ships, a total of 33 warships.

However, with regard to these 33 warships, it is not possible to attack all of them, at least half of them must be left to defend against the disabled Denglai Navy.

This Denglai navy was specially designed to target Houjin, and at its peak it once owned "more than 350 ships".

Even after the Denglai Rebellion, the Denglai Navy lost a lot, and I am afraid that it is not something that a small Tianjin Navy can touch.

Now that the construction of the rebel army in Dagukou has begun to take shape, if we don't take precautions early and destroy it, wouldn't it be a waste of all our efforts?

Therefore, Hou Jin rushed to use force against Dongjiang Town at this time, which really created a problem for the rebels.

"Oh? Seeing His Highness said so, could it be that he has a plan?" The red lady looked at Zhang Shun in surprise, and couldn't help asking.

"Whoever knows me is also a lady!" Zhang Shun chuckled, acquiescing to the words of the red lady.

"Then His Highness must be preparing to help Dongjiang, but where did this ship come from?" The red lady asked curiously, "Could it be that Your Highness still wants to take risks?"

"Take a risk?" Zhang Shun shook his head and smiled, "What is the status of this king now, how can he be like when he raised troops?"

"Put your heart in your belly, this time it's absolutely safe, there is absolutely no risk!"

"Come here, draft a military order for this king, and order Zhang Sanbai to supervise the Liaodong soldiers and horses, with [-] soldiers and horses to attack Guangning!"

What?Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

It turns out that Guangning, also known as Guangning Guard, was originally governed by the Guangning Prefecture of the Kingdom of Jin. Later, the Ming court established Guangning Guard here, and the Liaodong General Army Office was located here.

It borders Yizhou in the east, Jinzhou in the south, Mongolia in the north, and Shenyang across Liaoze in the east.

If the rebel army can capture this place, it will not only cut off part of the connection between Houjin and Mongolia, but also cover Lulong, Pinggang and Gubei, and reduce the military pressure on Xuanfu Datong and Jisanzhen.

Now it's autumn, if the rebel army captures this place, it will even threaten Shenyang when the weather is cold and Liaoze is frozen in winter.

"Your Highness, are you saying 'You hit yours, I'll hit mine'?" The red lady was startled, and suddenly remembered a sentence that Zhang Shun had mentioned back then.

"Yes, it's 'you hit yours, I'll hit mine'!" Zhang Shun smiled, "Whoever stipulates to aid Dongjiang, does he have to go to Dongjiang to fight the Tartars?"

"This king wants to see whether he wants Dongjiang or Guangning, or both!"

"Okay, good idea!" The red lady couldn't help laughing, "No wonder His Highness feels that he is sure of everything!"

"What, want to attack Guangning?" When Zhang Shun's military order was passed to Liaodong, Zu Dashou's expression changed drastically.

"That's right, His Highness has ordered us to prepare for an attack as soon as possible!" Zhang Sanbai nodded, as if he thought the matter was normal.

"General, you don't know, that Tartar is extremely ruthless." Zu Dashou couldn't help being anxious.

"How could I not know?" Zhang Sanbai sneered, "In the battle for the deer, I used 3 troops under my command to fight against the Tartars' [-] soldiers, but nothing happened!"

"Uh..." Zu Dashou finally realized that the handsome young general in front of him was actually one of the "Five Tiger Generals" under Zhang Shun's command.

It turns out that story books were popular in this era, and since Zhang Shun entered Beijing, some people had already "categorized" the generals under his command.

Among them, Chen Changting, the "Second Guan Gong" who guards Shaanxi, is known as the first of the five tigers; Xiao Qinhu, the "Little Zhang Fei" who guards Nanyang, ranks second; Third; the older general Hong Chengchou is known as "Old Huang Zhong" and ranks fourth, while the young Zhang Sanbai is known as "loyal and courageous Zhao Zilong" and ranks fifth.

Except for Chen Changting, Xiao Qinhu and Hong Chengchou who led another team, only he and Li Zicheng accompanied Zhang Shun and the Tartars to fight the entire game, so it was only natural that they looked down on the Tartars.

Thinking of this, how could Zu Dashou dare to persuade him again?

He had no choice but to report quickly: "Now there are 53 battalions in each castle in Liaodong Town, with a total of [-] horse steps."

"Except for the soldiers defending the city, there are [-] reinforcements worthy of battle. Among them, Fang Yizao, the former governor of Liaodong, took [-], but now there are only [-]."

"Enough!" Hearing this, Zhang Sanbai glanced at Hou Gongji, the commander of the mountains and seas standing beside him, and nodded involuntarily.

"This time, the general has 3 troops, and Shanhaiguan also has [-] garrisons. Together with the food and grass allocated by His Highness a few days ago, it is completely enough to launch a battle to capture Guangning."

Zu Dashou wanted to persuade him again, but after thinking about it carefully, the Tartars suffered a big loss in the pass, and there were no deaths or injuries.

If you don't take the opportunity to add insult to injury and take some credit at this time, how can you establish a foothold in the new dynasty?

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since His Highness is preparing to use troops, and the general is also fully prepared, Zu must be able to do anything!"
