please make me king

Chapter 1684 The Darkest Hour
"Heaven has yin and yang, the yang is the sky, the yin is the earth, and it is the law of nature!"

"Wife has honor and inferiority, the noble one is the master, the humble one is the servant, and the Tao follows the natural one!"

"From the beginning of the sage, those who work with their minds govern others, those who labor with their strength govern others, those who govern others eat people, and those who govern others eat others, this is the universal meaning of the world."

"Because of it, Yao and Shun inherently ruled in ancient times; Jie and Zhou rebelled against it, and three generations perished, with few exceptions!"

"Here are some 'shun thieves' who come from a humble background, not only do not think about making progress, but are born rebellious and have ulterior motives."

"And the elder, without a father and without a king, he often uttered paradoxical words. Later, he took advantage of the emptiness of China and took advantage of the great power."

"There is no ruler at the top, and he does the old things of Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao; the bottom becomes more and more absurd, and follows the atrocities of Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao. He regards gentlemen as enemies and villains as cronies."

"Nowadays, the paradoxical law is being practiced. The cheap is the most precious, and the humble is the most respected, so that the world is turned upside down, and the rules and regulations are often out of order. Those who want to seek power and usurp the throne for it. Gentlemen of benevolence hear it, and they beat their feet and beat their chests. Thieves too!"

"Here is the ninth grandson of Emperor Taizu. In the past, Tang Dynasty people were both benevolent and virtuous. They were ordered to fight against rebellion and rebuild the universe when they were in danger."

"Wouldn't it be beautiful for the monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons to share peace when the world is settled..." Bian Yujing finished reading this essay tremblingly, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at Zhang Shun.

"Isn't it beautiful?" The corners of Zhang Shun's mouth curled up slightly, and he glanced at the "Book of Heaven's Respect and Earth's Benevolence Against Thieves", and he couldn't help but sneered, "Qin Shihuang also thought the same way back then, but it's a pity that the bones are so cold!"

It turned out that after Zhang Shun transferred Zhang Hu and Xiao Si from Wang Dingying to Liyang and Jintan counties respectively, the rebellion was quickly quelled.

Liyang Pan Mao and Jintan Pan were rescued from prison by the rebels, and they really put away their previous childishness and began to take revenge on the former gentry crazily.

Although due to the obstruction of Zhang Hu and Xiao Si, Pan Mao, Pan and others did not achieve the life ideal of "slaughtering their men and humiliating their women", but they realized their ambition of "cutting their noses".

However, the victory of the rebel army did not deter the reactionary forces. On the contrary, it provoked the denunciation of the Donglin Party, Fushe, and the remnant forces headed by the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to officially publishing the "Abolition of Slavery Order" denouncing him, Zhang Shun was attacked from moral, moral and even personal aspects.

Some people claim that he is "lost and unrestrained, and does not do anything", and he likes "beauties and treasures".

Some claim that he "respects traitors, is licentious and lustful", eats a fight of red pills every day, courts countless daughters, and still can't vent his anger.

What's more, it is claimed that Zhang Shun likes to eat children's hearts and livers.

Everywhere the rebel army went, they searched for children of three or five years old to prepare them, so that under the rule of the rebel army, the sound of children crying at night was not heard for thousands of miles.

Zhang Shun read these insulting words carefully, and they were basically imitating the words of the predecessors, and there was nothing new.

He frowned, and couldn't help asking Dong Xiaowan, Bian Yujing and Bian Min who were sorting out the files: "What do you think?"

"It's all slanderous words!" The three replied in unison.

"Oh, how do you say that?" Zhang Shun never thought that he would be so tall in their hearts, so he couldn't help being quite moved.

"I don't dare to say it myself." The three of them were stunned when they heard the words, and couldn't help but stammer.

"Say, I forgive you for your innocence!" Zhang Shun laughed.

"That... that His Highness is impotent, how can an old sow be touched by lewdness." The three of them blushed, like mosquitoes buzzing, and replied in a low voice.

"Huh? So I have to thank you all?" Zhang Shun couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this.

Lovers can trust me, can you trust me?
As soon as the three girls spoke, they stared at Zhang Shun's face.

However, seeing that Zhang Shun didn't respond to these words, he couldn't help feeling shy and disappointed.

And just when the three women were in a state of confusion, Zhang Shun suddenly asked again: "Oh, by the way, where is Denglai Navy, Zensheng hasn't arrived yet?"

"Ah?" The three women were taken aback when they heard the words, and then they realized what Zhang Shun asked, and they quickly replied, "I sent a message yesterday, saying that there was a storm at sea, and it will take a few days!"

The three women frantically searched while reporting.

"Oh, that's it!" Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard the words, "Forget it, don't turn it over!"

This is very bad news for him.

In the past, only the south of the Yangtze River "rebelled". Zhang Shun also said that his headquarters was still quite stable. He never expected that Huang Sunmao, whom he had placed high hopes on, would suddenly lose the chain at a critical moment.

In the end is the wind and waves, or wait and see, I am afraid this is a big question.

At the same time, it also made Zhang Shun realize that his subordinates are not monolithic.

There are those who are firmly on their side, and there are also those who take the opportunity to oppose themselves, and there are some people who are at both ends, and are ready to make a decision depending on the situation.

To be honest, in terms of land alone, there is no one in the whole world who can match Zhang Shun.

However, water is different.

As a kind of warfare that is completely different from land warfare, water warfare is extremely dependent on its equipment and training.

Due to the rapid development of the rebel army, Zhang Shun has not had time to train and equip his own navy in the future.

If Huang Sunmao really invested in the remnant forces because of this, then Zhang Shun, who is sitting in Nanjing, is likely to become trapped in Nanjing.

"Master, please see Mr. Wang and Mr. Qian!" Just when Zhang Shun was worried, Wukong's voice suddenly sounded again.

"Oh? Hurry up, please!" Zhang Shun hurriedly responded when he heard the words.

Not long after, Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi rushed in, and after a short salute, they couldn't help but said, "Your Highness, something is wrong!"

"What's so bad that it made the two of you panic so much?" Zhang Shun suspected that the two wanted to take the opportunity to put pressure on him, but considering the current situation, it seemed that they didn't have the guts to deceive him yet.

"Zhu Dadian colluded with Lu Daqi, Gao Hongtu and others to persuade Zheng Zhilong to raise troops in Shaoxing and support Lu Wang Zhu Yihai as the supervisor!" Wang Duo saw that Qian Qianyi was not easy to speak, so he took the initiative to speak.

"Lu Daqi, Gao Hongtu?" Zhang Shun seemed to sound familiar.

"They are all members of the Donglin Party. They were originally prepared to join His Highness under the persuasion of Mr. Qian!" Wang Duo couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Donglin Party, Zheng Zhilong!" Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help repeating it again, and suddenly he had a headache.

He was really afraid of what would happen. Here he was worried that Huang Sunmao would join the enemy, but the Donglin Party and Zheng Zhilong over there actually colluded.

In terms of the strength of the navy, Zheng Zhilong's power is a mountain that cannot be circumvented in the entire East Asia of this era.

In just a few years, Zheng Zhilong pacified the Cantonese invaders, conquered Li, repelled the invasion of Xia Heyi, and wiped out Liu Xiang, a sea pirate. His momentum was so great that even the famous "Sea Mountain Coachman" Dutch forces had to back away.

"There is one more thing. According to the usual practice, the letter from the capital, which is delivered once every half month, has been delayed for two days." Just here, seeing Zhang Shun's gloomy face, Qian Qianyi carefully reported.

"What?" Zhang Shun stood up abruptly, and then sat down slowly, laughing loudly.

"Your Highness?" Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi looked at each other, and said that Zhang Shunde had lost his mind and went crazy, so he couldn't help shouting.

"Wang Duo, Qian Qianyi!" Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhang Shun suddenly yelled, "As the elders of Donglin, the status and status of the two of you are very important, why didn't you turn against me?"

"Is it not time yet, or are you afraid of the sharpness of my blade?"

"Your Highness's lesson, Your Highness's lesson!" After eating Zhang Shun's drink, the two men's liver and gallbladder burst, and they threw themselves to the ground, their heads crying like garlic.

"Now the two of us have been scolded as traitors who 'disasterd the country and the people', expelled from the Donglin Party, and included in Qin Hui and the Eunuch Party!"

"Besides relying on His Highness, who else can we rely on?"

It turns out that the Donglin Party has always been a "clear stream", and has always been characterized by the unity of the party and the suppression of differences.

Now that Wang Duo and Qian Qianyi have joined the rebel army and it is difficult to separate them, it is reasonable to classify them as "treacherous ministers" and criticize them verbally and in writing.

Well, the public opinion criticizes the critics, the military borrows heavily from the navy, and the organization tries to use Zhang Shun as an imaginary enemy to re-establish the order of the remnant. Is this the power of the "slave master"?
