please make me king

Chapter 1689 Zheng Zhifeng's decision
"I heard that King Lu's soldiers and horses came from the sea by boat. There are thousands of warships, tens of thousands of soldiers, and countless red cannons. Now they are attacking the city!" together, muttering in a low voice.

"Ah? There are many rumors about this matter. There are rumors about pirates and southeast naval divisions. It's about our lives and lives. I don't know if it's true or not?" Everyone couldn't help asking after hearing the words.

The counterattack of "Jianguo King Lu" is certainly exciting, but if they fail to counterattack, wouldn't they ruin their lives if they join rashly?

All of them are dukes and marquises who have lived for several generations or even dozens of generations. They know the truth of not casting eagles if they don't see rabbits, so they look forward and backward.

"This is what I saw with my own eyes, how can it be fake?" Zhu Guobi, Duke of the Baoguo, couldn't help assuring him when he heard the words.

"Since Brother Zhu has said so, of course we have no objection!" Wei Guogong Xu Yunjue nodded, and then he opened his mouth to express his opinion.

"It's just that this is a big matter, so don't act rashly."

"After you go back, you should select and train dead soldiers and lie dormant to wait for the opportunity."

"The timing is not right, soldiers must not be sent out, and schemes must not be leaked, otherwise the disaster of killing one's life will be a lesson from the past!"

"Understood!" Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and quickly responded.

But at this moment, Duke Bao Zhu Guobi hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help suggesting: "Now that the 'Shun Bandits' have fewer soldiers, some of them will be dispatched to Liyang and Jintan counties to suppress the rebellion. The city of Nanjing is currently empty."

"If one person can tell the reality outside the city, and then you and I will cooperate with each other to destroy the city and capture its head in one fell swoop, the world will never know!"

"No, no, this matter has a lot to do with it, how can you be so reckless?" No matter what Zhu Guobi said, anyway, Xu Yunjue was scared out of his wits and didn't want to take this risk at all.

It turned out that Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, was the tenth grandson of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the previous Dingguo Gong was Xu Da's third son, Xu Zengshou, who sent news to Zhu Di in private during the Jingnan battle, so that he was punished.

Therefore, when Zhu Di came to the throne, he thought of his old love on the one hand, and on the other hand, courted nobles, so he named a Dingguo Duke to show his favor.

Xu Yunzhen had learned from the past, so Xu Yunjue was naturally trembling and cautious, so as not to suffer the disaster of destroying his family.

After some persuasion from the crowd, they saw that Wei Guogong is a man who can't achieve great things, so he suggested: "In this case, you take your Yangguan road, and I take my single-plank bridge. After the matter is completed, Wei Guogong must not envy us!"

Where does Xu Yunjue refuse to follow?
He repeatedly told everyone: "I don't know anything about this matter, you must not implicate me!"

Not to mention how the nobles in the city care about it, let's say that Zheng Zhifeng bombarded the city of Nanjing for several days without success, and immediately became anxious.

Although he saw through the binoculars that there were not many rebel soldiers in Nanjing City.

However, the method of using soldiers is "to show that you can't, and to use it to show that you don't need it". Who knows if this is the real situation in Nanjing, or whether it is "following the thief" deliberately showing the enemy's weakness?
Zheng Zhifeng felt that she had miscalculated.He came all the way, but he didn't expect that the city built by Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was so strong.

Even with the "magic cannon" in his hand, the heavy Hongyi cannon that can fire 24 catties of shells can't hurt him in the slightest.

"Dang Kouhou, the reinforcements sent by His Majesty are here!" Just as Zheng Zhifeng was hesitating, Zhu Dadian finally brought the news he wanted.

"What? Hurry up, please!" Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help being overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Dang Kouhou!" Not long after, a dark-skinned general who was nearly fifty years old walked in and saluted, "I promise you will become famous!"

"Oh, it turns out that Ping Kouhou is here, be polite, be polite!" Zheng Zhifeng was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly returned the salute.

It turned out that whether it was Xiong Wencan supporting Tang Wang Zhu Yujian, or Zheng Zhilong supporting Lu Wang Zhu Yihai, it was for the purpose of increasing officials and ranks, so the generals under their command each received awards.

Now these two people, one is a bandit and the other is a flat bandit, they complement each other well.

After the two parties finally settled down, Zheng Zhifeng couldn't help asking: "I don't know how many ships and soldiers Ping Kouhou brought this time, so let's figure it out and how to attack the city!"

"This..." Xu Chengming couldn't help showing embarrassment when he heard the words, and said after a while, "Originally, Mr. Xiong Ge prepared [-] elite soldiers and more than [-] warships to go down the river."

"Whoever imagined it, whoever imagined it, there are thieves who came to Wu and Lanshan, which is quite powerful. Mr. Xiongge had no choice but to send troops to quell the chaos just in case."

"Now I only have [-] warships under my command, and a battalion of township soldiers are here."

The "ah, this" smile disappeared from Zheng Zhifeng's face visibly to the naked eye.

What a joke, a few bankrupt refugees, it's worth the effort you all have to do, are you kidding me?

In fact, Zheng Zhifeng misunderstood this.

It turns out that there are many miners in Linwu and Lanshan. Last year, because of a mine accident, Xiong Wencan and others not only refused to send rescuers, but forced the closure of the mines, which aroused dissatisfaction among the miners and they revolted.

The crowd elected Liu Xinyu as the Generalissimo, Guo Zinu as the military adviser, and united with the Li Jingchu uprising army in Lanshan and the Yao people in Mangshan and Jiufengshan, and gathered more than ten thousand people.

At the beginning, the rebel army lost even the battle.

In addition, Xiong Wencan's main energy and main force were used to deal with Xiao Qinhu's troops stationed in Nanyang, so he didn't take him seriously.

Unexpectedly, in the past few days, the people were inspired by the capture of Nanjing by the rebels, and launched an attack again, taking down Changning and Hengzhou successively.

After the rebel army conquered Hengzhou, they contacted Jiang Changzi, Li Dayong, Li Gaofeng and others to revolt, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and took Xiangtan and Xiangxiang counties, and then besieged Changsha.

Gao Doushu, deputy envoy of Changsha, desperately resisted, and hurriedly dispatched soldiers to Xiangyang for help.

After Xiong Wencan got the news, he panicked and dispatched his soldiers to put down the rebellion. This is also the root cause of Xu Chengming's late arrival.

It's a pity that Zheng Zhifeng didn't know the truth of it, and said that Xiong Wencan was bluffing him, and would turn around and return to Zhoushan soon.

"Superintendent, general, urgent report from the city!" Just as everyone was about to turn their heads, another soldier hurried over and said.

"Say!" Zheng Zhifeng ordered angrily while holding back his stomach.

"That, that..." The soldier glanced at Xu Chengming who was standing next to him, and finally gritted his teeth and reported, "I just got the news that the 'Shun Bandit' is in the city, and there are only half...half battalion of troops under its command!"

"What? Is this news reliable?" Zhu Dadian, Zheng Zhilong, and Xu Chengming were shocked when they heard the news, and they couldn't help asking.

"Ah?" The soldier was startled when surrounded by three senior officials and questioned like this. He muttered for a long time before he said, "This information was handed over by Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo in the city. It is true or not. In this way, the little ones don’t know anything.”

"Zhu Guobi?" Zheng Zhilong and Xu Chengming were taken aback when they heard the words, and couldn't help looking at Zhu Dadian.

"This person is after Zhu Yong, Duke of the Baoguo. At the beginning of Tianqi, because Yang Lian was framed by Wei Zhongxian, he spoke out righteously, so he lost his salary; at the beginning of Chongzhen, he lost his title because of the impeachment of Wen Tiren and others." Zhu Dadian couldn't help but speak. explained.

"Later, the state was in an emergency, and the late emperor reused it again, and with the merit of making a decision, attacked the noble and protect the country!"

When the two heard Zhu Dadian's words, they immediately understood that this was a description of this person's temperament and standpoint, and he was more inclined to the Donglin Party.

Now, the forces supporting the King of Lu are mainly the Zheng Zhilong Maritime Group and the Donglin Party members based in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Then Zheng Zhilong and Xu Chengming couldn't help but looked at each other, couldn't help laughing and said: "Now I have more than ten thousand sailors and three thousand soldiers in town, several times more than thieves, and I can capture them in one battle!"

"God bestowed me with such a great service, and I should be awarded the head of the 'shun thief', and the Ming Dynasty will be revived."

"If this battle is successful, Your Majesty will follow the story of Guangwu, and you and I will also be ranked in Yuntai, and our descendants will enjoy wealth and honor!"
