Chapter 430 Zhang Shihua's territory increases again, Liu Futong supports the emperor and builds the pole

Early the next morning. Outside the long and sand cities, the sound of war drums, shouts of killing, and hissing sounded again.

But early in the morning, the Chu army also launched another attack on Chang and Shacheng. But this time, Zhang Shihui has begun to gradually invest in his elite troops.

"Kill the thief!" On the city wall, Wei Liang, who was already covered in blood, roared angrily, and with all his strength, he finally killed the Chu soldier in front of him wearing plate armor.

"Ahh Struggled to pull out the steel knife that had been curled from the corpse of this Chu soldier, even if he had been boiling his muscles and bones all year round, Wei Liang couldn't help but feel his arms numb and weak at this time.

"Quick, heal the wounded, consolidate the defense, must, must block the black-clothed thief!" Although he felt that his limbs were very sore at this time, but seeing that he had finally repelled the wave of offensive set off by the Chu army, Wei Liang couldn't help but endure the soreness on his body, roaring on the city wall, and commanding and dispatching.

As for outside the city walls, although more than an hour has passed since today's battle, and the two attacks launched by the Chu army have been repulsed, the Chu army outside the city still seems to be full of confidence.

The Chu army, which had a great advantage in strength, when the second attack was repulsed, another 5,000 soldiers and horses drove out, replacing the 5,000 soldiers who did not succeed in the siege, quickly organized a siege formation, and pressed against Changsha City again.

And in this third attack, the soldiers and horses dispatched are also the most elite troops under Zhang Shihui's command.

In this army, every soldier was wearing the fine plate armor made by the Chu army itself, and when the army marched, it was like an unstoppable torrent of steel.

On the side of the Chang and Sha defenders, when they watched this torrent of steel crush against their own people, even the brave soldiers couldn't help but feel their teeth trembling and their hands and feet weak. And the cowardly, at this time, were even more frightened, and even broke down, throwing weapons to escape.

Of course, there were only a very small number of people who were so frightened that they wanted to flee, and these very few people were directly executed by the overseers behind them.

But even so, the vast majority of the soldiers on the city wall did not have much hope of victory.

For example, now, there are many people standing behind the arrow battlements of the city wall quietly taking a few steps back, with the idea of looking for an opportunity to escape for their lives once the war starts.

If it comes, the outcome of this battle will be self-evident.

……

"Kill the thief!" Wei Liang roared angrily, and rushed into the battlefield again with the few loyal guards under his command, wanting to save the decline at this time.

But everyone knows that this is obviously impossible.

The third wave of the Chu army's offensive was launched in just two quarters of an hour, and the Chu army outside the city, which was crushed like a torrent of steel, easily climbed the city wall.

Then the situation on the city walls was once and for all. In just a quarter of an hour, the city wall was completely broken, and thousands of Chu soldiers climbed the city wall, and the rout of the defenders began.

Therefore, Wei Liang's current actions are just the last madness before the temporary.

"Kill!" He roared and fed a brand-new steel knife into the body of a Chu soldier. When he looked at the Chu soldier in front of him who was about to die from excessive blood loss, his expression couldn't help but become crazy and hideous. However, he obviously underestimated the madness of the soldier who was about to be killed by him.

"Second Tartar, let's be a backing for labor and management!" The Chu soldier who was about to die had a hideous face at this time. At this time, I saw him roar like this, and then took out the short dagger on his waist, and couldn't help but stab Wei Liang in the abdomen.

"Uh!!" The intense pain in his abdomen couldn't help but make Wei Liang scream. Then the dagger swirled in his body, and the feeling of completely chopping up his intestines, couldn't help but make his mouth and eyes widen in pain, and even had a painful feeling that his jaw was dislocated and his eyes were staring out.

"General! Checkmate!! Finally, the loyal guards beside him found out.

So they all screamed and rushed to Wei Liang's side. Seeing this, Wei Liang, who fell to the ground, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he only coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then lost consciousness.

"The deputy envoy is dead, Wei Liang is dead!!" In a moment, such exclamations began to spread across the battlefield. Then, the great rout on the defender's side began.

……

"King, good news, good news! Changsha City was conquered by General Zhaowu, the Yuan Court's pseudo-Xuanzhi envoy, Xuanwei Si Tongzhi, and Xuanwei deputy envoy were all executed, and many states and counties in Tianlin Road, including Leon in Yiyang Prefecture and He Sanzhu in Xiangyin Prefecture, were also surrendered! ”

Changsha victory, when the soldiers who reported the victory came to Jiangling City with the good news notice, the good news could not help but be sent to Zhang Shihua's hands as soon as possible.

"Hahaha, good, good!" Hearing his subordinates excitedly shouting out the good news, even if this result was not what Zhang Shihua expected, Zhang Shihua still couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Now, immediately gather the Chinese Martial Arts, and this king will discuss this matter with them!" Looking at the good news in his hand, Zhang Shihua smiled and couldn't help but command.

Hearing Zhang Shihua's command, the person hurriedly agreed, and couldn't help but retreat quickly.

"Changsha is a great victory, the minister is the king of He, and he is the great Chu. It can be expected that after this battle, the entire Huguang, except for the land of Lingnan, the rest of the places must be decided. A moment later, in the palace of the King of Chu, Lu Sicheng, who was standing at the head of the civil officials, couldn't help but smile and congratulate Zhang Shihua like this at this time.

At this time, with him taking the lead, the congratulatory voices of the Chinese military officials in the hall were naturally endless, and all kinds of sycophants naturally came one after another.

Of course, for this, after Zhang Shihua laughed, he also appropriately waved his hand to interrupt the congratulatory voices of the civil and military ministers under him.

Then he couldn't help but say: "The first battle of Changsha brought out the prestige of my Great Chu and made great contributions to my Great Chu." Therefore, Lu Gong, Ziyu, and the reward of the army, you must also immediately come up with a charter.

This time, I will definitely reward Shihui and Bai Qing. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, your ministers obey! The ministers waited for the day after tomorrow to come up with a suitable constitution for the king. Hearing Zhang Shihua's order, Lu Sicheng and Zhao Ziyu over there naturally hurriedly responded.

Then, Zhang Shihua and the others couldn't help but discuss other matters that needed to be dealt with urgently after the victory.

For example, after this battle, Lei Ang and He Sanzhu, who were completely frightened by the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the Chu army. Because these two people sat and watched during the battle, they surrendered in time, so Lei Ang and He Sanzhu were discussed by Zhang Shihua and Lu Sicheng, Zhao Ziyu, Li Chongsan and other courtiers.

It was only that these two people were appointed as the lower ten thousand households, and they were transferred from Yiyang and Xiangyin, and only 300 people were allowed to take them to the post.

For this, the two naturally have dissatisfaction in their hearts. However, in the face of absolute strength, this kind of concealment obviously has no effect. Therefore, they could only watch as the army that had obeyed them was absorbed by the Chu army.

Then he could only take three hundred cronies and go to Baoqing Road and Hengzhou Road to take up his posts.

And after that, Zhang Shihui, who had made great contributions, was naturally promoted. From the original three-grade Shanglu Wanhu and Zhaowu generals, he was promoted to the generalissimo of the Marshal's Mansion and Fengguo from the second-grade Hunan Province.

To put it bluntly, it is actually similar to the consolation envoy of the Yuan court. However, Zhang Shihui is a military officer and has no qualifications to meddle in government affairs.

But even so, after being promoted, Zhang Shihui, who was in charge of the military affairs of the entire Hu and South Provinces, undoubtedly became a general in the Great Chu who could be ranked alongside Zhao Wei, the privy envoy in charge of the military affairs of Wuchang Road, Yuezhou Road, and Hanyang Mansion.

In addition to him, Bai Xi, who was the deputy general this time, was naturally also promoted, from 10,000 households in the middle road to 10,000 households in the upper road. Even Ye Ziming, the guy who surrendered earlier, was officially canonized as the next ten thousand households as he wished.

As for the government affairs on the side of Lake and South Province. After Zhang Shihua changed the position of Tongzhi of the Xuanwei Department to the position of Zheng Sanpin, he also promoted Zhou Liangqing, the prefect of Xiangyang, who changed his name, to the Tongzhi of the Xuanwei Department of Hu and South Province, and ordered him to be in charge of the government affairs of Hu and South Province.

Of course, there are still a lot of things to deal with here; There is still a lot of official appointments to be made.

For example, many of the original Yuan court magistrates in the local area, after seeing the Chu army conquering Tianlin Road, have surrendered to Great Chu in the past few days; Some magistrates saw that the Yuan court was powerless in Huguang, so they hung up their seals and went to the wilderness.

Therefore, although there is no military resistance in the three states of Hu, South Road, and Nine Roads, there is still a mess in the affairs and livelihood of dozens of cities in these nine roads and three states.

It gave Lu Sicheng, Zhao Ziyu and Li Chongsan, who had just assumed the position of the castrated version of the Zhengsanpin Dasi Nong, a headache.

After all, it is true that the territory has been conquered, and it may be a political talent who may be in charge alone, and Da Chu is now in great shortage.

Although there are scholars who are willing to go out and serve Zhang Shihua almost every day. But among these people, almost nine out of ten are the kind of egotists who want to hold important positions as soon as they come up.

There were even some crazy students who blocked the gate of the palace and directly handed a letter of recommendation to Zhang Shihua, the king of Chu.

In the letter, he even compared himself to Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty and Zhuge Liang in the late Han Dynasty, saying some nonsense that 'if Zhang Shihua follows his ideas, he will be able to dominate the world in three or five years'.

For such a group of guys, Zhang Shihua is naturally disgusting to death.

So this time, in terms of Hu and Nandao, because of the shortage of government manpower, the Chu army still couldn't help but sacrifice the best old method.

That is, 'as long as the magistrates of the Yuan court are willing to surrender to Dachu, then you only need to be transferred at the same level, and you can continue to be your officials'.

Although this method has led to some mixed local officials under the rule of Great Chu, there are some mixed fish and dragons. But at least this will not lead to local chaos and failure to implement government decrees due to the lack of government officials.

In this way, when Zhang Shihua was wholeheartedly governing the local area and stabilizing the people's livelihood, and at the same time training the new army at the Wuling side, an incident in the history of the late Yuan Dynasty finally broke out after being affected by Zhang Shihua's butterfly and dragging on for nearly half a year.

And this incident is that Liu Futong welcomed Han Lin'er, the son of Han Shantong, to claim the title of emperor in Anfeng Bozhou.

Yes, after such a long time, Liu Futong achieved his revenge in order to win over the rebels who controlled the Central Plains. Finally, he couldn't help but start to realize the political slogan he had shouted during the uprising, that is, 'Three thousand tigers, to the land of Youyan; Long Fei Ninety-Five, reopen the day of the Great Song Dynasty'.

Anyway, after welcoming back Han Lin'er, the son of Han Shantong, the "nominally" real leader of the Northern White Lotus Sect, from the people.

Liu Futong respected Han Lin'er as the king of Xiaoming, and then established a political regime under the slogan of restoring the country, with the country name of the Great Song Dynasty and the year name of Dragon and Phoenix.

So this year can also be called the first year of the Great Song Longfei.

And in this way, there are three emperors on the land of China. That is, the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven.

Later, Liu Futong and Luo Wensu were both Pingzhang of the Great Song Dynasty, Du Zundao and Sheng Wenyu were the right and left prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and Liu Futong's eldest brother Liu Liu was the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty. Then, in the name of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Liu Futong issued an edict of appointment to all the rebels in the Central Plains and the surrounding areas of the Central Plains who carried the banner of the Red Turban Army or were part of the Red Turban Army.

Even such an edict, as well as Zhang Shihua, the self-reliant king of Chu, has long since stopped being a member of his Red Turban Rebels after taking the land of Xiangjing.

But not to mention, for such an appointment edict, the rebels from all walks of life really bought it.

After all, the original leaders of the Great Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were indeed Liu Futong and them. Later, those who rebelled against the Yuan, such as the Xuzhou Righteous Army and the Shandong Righteous Army, were indeed rebelled under the banner of the White Lotus Sect and the Red Turban Army.

And Liu Futong is also very smart, he didn't yell at the appointment edict. For example, a rebel army is obviously in Huaidong, but it just gives people the title of Huaixi. On the contrary, in the edict, the self-appointed official positions and princes of these rebel leaders were recognized.

Just like Zhang Shihua, Liu Futong really recognized Zhang Shihua's self-proclaimed position as the king of Chu, and specially sent a set of ritual utensils for the sacrifice of the prince to Zhang Shihua. And made it clear that Zhang Shihua, as the king of Chu, enjoyed the right to open the government, and he could appoint the officials of Chu on his own without consulting the center.

In this way, even Zhang Shihua gladly accepted such an edict. and expressed his willingness to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and the Dragon and Phoenix Emperor Han Lin'er.

Belch...... Although Zhang Shihua didn't know what his emperor looked like. But whatever, since someone is willing to replace him as a leading bird, Zhang Shihua is naturally happy. As for that Dragon Fei Emperor? Trust me, it doesn't matter.
