please make me king

Chapter 1713 The Change of Xu Capital
"Your Highness, Your Highness, if you don't leave, all the people in my city are counting on you!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please stay here! We will give you whatever you want, even if you want my mother, I will invite you here!"

It turned out that after Zhang Shun cleaned up the rout in Kunshan, he rushed back to Suzhou overnight and completely defeated the rout in Dongjiang Town.

He decided to give Qian Qianyi the two flags and let him be in charge of recruiting and surrendering the remnants of Huang Fei's Taihu Lake.

However, he never expected that the big families in Suzhou and Kunshan would suffer heavy losses by leading wolves into their houses this time, and they would be terrified by this group of defeated soldiers.

Especially after they heard about Xu Ziyi's stupidity in Kunshan, they felt chills down their spines.

People often say: Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes.

However, as far as the old mother is concerned, everyone has only one.

So when they heard that Zhang Shun was going to leave, they immediately cried for their father and mother, and begged their grandpa to tell their grandma.

Even for this reason, they were very heartbroken to take out ten thousand taels of military pay and hundreds of cattle and sheep to reward the army.

After this battle, they understood.

The "shun thief" is asking for money, but the "yellow thief" is terrible!

If the money is gone, you can earn it again. If the people are gone, you have nothing.

Although they try their best to persuade Zhang Shun to stay, Zhang Shun still wants to leave.

Soldiers are extremely fast, and now Zhang Shun spent a day and a night working hard to solve the problem of Dongjiang's rout with great difficulty.

If he doesn't seize the time now to remove the threat of Zheng Zhilong who occupies Chongming and Shen Youlong who occupies Songjiang, will he have to wait for the other party to call again?
"Report~ Gu Menglin asks to see you!" Just as Zhang Shun insisted on going east, he suddenly saw Gu Tinglin rushing over.

Although this Gu Tinglin is the son of a family, he can endure some hardships, and Zhang Shun brought him with him because he has some skills.

"Oh, hurry up!" Zhang Shun frowned when he heard Gu Tinglin's words.

I just left Gu Yuan, did Zheng Zhilong and Shen Youlong surround him again?
"Your Highness, I just got the news last night that Zheng Zhilong led his fleet, left Liujiagang, Chongming and other places, and went all the way south!" Unexpectedly, Gu Menglin rushed over and said right away.

"What, left?" Zhang Shun couldn't believe his ears.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong's navy was powerful, and they occupied the Yangtze River exit, and Zheng Zhifeng, who was entrenched in the Zhoushan Islands, was the horns of each other. Zhang Shun was still having a headache as to how to deal with these two, but unexpectedly he left on his own.

No wonder Gu Menglin rushed all night and came to report in person.

However, since the matter is serious, Zhang Shun confirmed again and again: "Have you confirmed this matter? Could it be that there is fraud?"

"It has been confirmed!" Gu Menglin nodded and said, "Although Chongming is far away, Liujiagang is close at hand. I will know what happened to Zheng Zhilong!"

It turns out that this Liujiagang is not a trivial matter. It was originally the mouth of the Liuhe River, and it was also the starting point for Zheng He's voyages to the West. Its status can be seen in general.

It's just that since the imperial court stopped the voyage to the West, the port has gradually silted up, and it has long since lost its former prosperity.

Because of this, Zheng Zhilong had to moor most of his ships in Chongming, and a small part in Liujiagang.

Coincidentally, this Liujiagang is connected to Taicang through Liuhe, and the Gu family is a big family in Taicang. After securing their position, they naturally know the movements of Liujiagang like the palm of their hands.

Now this Liujiagang is where Zheng's navy landed. Since the ships here have withdrawn, naturally the Chongming ships also no longer exist.

Hearing this, Zhang Shun's expression was uncertain for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let's go to Songjiang!"

But just when Zhang Shunyi and others decided to go south, he didn't know that six or seven hundred miles away from Suzhou, a group of Ding Zhuang with their hair wrapped in white cloth was encircling the city of Jinhua.

"Order the magistrates in the city to surrender and not kill them. If you resist to the end, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!" A young Confucian scholar wrapped his head in a white scarf and ordered vigorously.

"Yes, Xu Shuai!" The left and right Ding Zhuang responded one after another after hearing the words.

It turned out that this "Xu Shuai" was none other than Chen Zilong's friend and one of the backbones of several societies, Xu Du.

Before Chen Zilong discussed the incident with his friends, Fushe He Gang and Xu Fuyuan strongly recommended Xu Du, saying: "He lives in a place where the world's elite soldiers live, and he will train a brigade for use!"

It turned out that Xu Du was born in no other place, but Jinhua, and the Yiwu and Dongyang counties under its jurisdiction were the places where the famous Qi family army was recruited in the past.

Although Xu Du is a son of a family, he also likes to make friends with heroes and swordsmen, so as soon as he received Chen Zilong's request, he began to recruit warriors and heroes, train soldiers, and prepare to do something.

Unexpectedly, at that time, Zheng Zhifeng and Zheng Zhilong frequently used troops to conquer Zhang Shun, and the food and pay were quite insufficient, so the king of Lu ordered all the prefectures and counties to try their best to collect enough money and food.

The magistrate of Dongyang County was worried that he had nowhere to raise food and salaries. Seeing that Xu Du had spent all his family wealth and recruited soldiers and horses, and thinking that his family had never had a successful candidate in three lifetimes, he couldn't help thinking of extorting money.

Therefore, he apportioned ten thousand taels of silver to Xu Du for military use.

The Xudu family was in decline, so they were incomparable to others, and now they spent a lot of money recruiting warriors and making weapons, where would they have spare money for him?
As a result, the two sides had a quarrel, and Nazhi County ransacked Xu Du's house under the pretext of "rebellion".

Unexpectedly, Xu Du's mother was old, and even frightened, she died.

Na Xu Du was pure and filial, seeing his old mother being forced to death, he turned his back in a rage.

At this very moment, the "Cangshan bandits" were making trouble, and Xu Du had more than a thousand warriors under him.

In just a few days, the white-headed army conquered Dongyang County first, and then went down to Yiwu, Zhuji, Pujiang, Yongkang, Wuyi, Tangxi, Lanxi and other counties. For a while, almost the entire Jinhua land was captured, except for the city of Jinhua.

However, just this one action scared Lu Wang and Zheng Zhifeng to tears.

Do you know why?

It turned out that although the "King of Lu" called himself Jian Guo, he actually didn't dare to station in Hangzhou, which was close to the rebel army. Instead, he used Taizhou as his base and looked at the land in the south of the Yangtze River.

This Taizhou is located in the coastal area to the east of Jinhua. If Jinhua is lost, Taizhou will naturally be in danger. Therefore, King Lu had to urgently call Zheng Zhilong back to help, so as not to be taken advantage of by Xu Du.

That Xudu is very close to Taizhou, and he has been in contact with Fushe He Gang, Xu Fuyuan and Chen Zilong, so he naturally understands the strength of King Lu's troops.

He couldn't help but ordered loudly: "Everyone, work harder, quickly knock down this golden flower, and we will have a foothold."

"If we can still take Taizhou and capture King Lu, we will have made great achievements!"

"If not, destroy the family and the family, today!"

As soon as Xu Du said this, the "white-headed army" couldn't help screaming and launched a fierce attack on Jinhua City.
