Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 410: Pretending to be a pustule in the emperor’s heart

"Your Majesty, Zhu Shizhu, I am here", his voice was elegant and clear. Sultan carefully observed the owner of the voice and saw that this person had eyes as clear as morning dew, a straight nose, fair skin, and thick eyebrows raised rebelliously. Well, this is a brave man! As a time traveler, he knew that this man was supported as the leader by Mila Yin, Ding Guodong and others during the Gansu Hui Uprising in another time and space. He died unyieldingly after being defeated and captured. Not running away is considered courageous.

"You are a member of the Ming Dynasty clan. Do you sincerely kneel to me, the descendant of the common people in the forest?" The Great Khan asked calmly, his eyes like lightning carefully observing the other party's reaction. After sending away Emperor Yongli's envoys, he had great contempt for the mediocre and cowardly Emperor of Nanming, and planned to support a puppet emperor in the Central Plains to replace him. However, the selection needs to be carefully considered. It should neither be too wise and powerful to control, nor be too dull to lose the hearts of the Han people; the bloodline should not be too noble to breed ambition, nor be too thin to lack influence. It would be best to be like a mascot for future generations, without thoughts and at my mercy.

"The two capitals fell, the ancestral temples were destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty was gone. Where did the Ming Dynasty clan come from? I have been wandering around these years, and I just want a place to stay. I have food and clothing when I am hungry, and I have cotton clothes when I am cold. That is enough. ! Only with your majesty's care and the court's love can I survive the troubled times. Your majesty is really kind to me. I am willing to be the minister of David. If you make false statements, ghosts and gods will scare you." After that, the extension of the Ming Dynasty Wang Zhushi adze howled and burst into tears, tears pouring down like a spring and unable to be held back.

Huh? Is this person really the extension of Wang Zhushi? Why is it different from the memory? Suletan vaguely remembered that he had read history before. In another time and space, after being supported by Milayin and other generals, Zhu Shizhong used the call to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and gained support from people all over the northwest. He also brought all his family members into Lanzhou City, saying that he would live and die with Lanzhou, which greatly inspired the enthusiasm of the military and civilians to resist the Qing Dynasty. Later, after the defeat, he was captured by the Qing army and died unyieldingly. He was quite courageous among the vassal kings in the late Ming Dynasty. Why was he so pusy and crying? Then I thought about it, it would be better to have pustules, which are easier to control. If he is too wise and mighty, I would not be at ease.

However, he was a tycoon after all. Even though Emperor Qianyuan had figured this out, he still raised his eyes and stared at Zhu Shizhong carefully, trying to see whether his pustular expression was real or fake. If it's just a pretense, this person can no longer be kept!

His eyes are like lightning! Zhu Shizhen felt two vicious lightning bolts shoot at him, the pressure was overwhelming, and sweat suddenly poured down his back. "Your Majesty has no way to repay the kindness you have shown me in this life. I can only repay you in the next life by making a ring of grass." After saying this, he started to cry more and more desolately. After all, he is a member of the Ming Dynasty clan and is used to the intrigues in the palace. When he cries, his expression is sincere and touching.

Suletan was also moved and suddenly felt embarrassed. At that time, Zhu Shizhu fled to the Wei Kingdom. Seeing that he was a rare and useful person, he ordered the local officials to take him in and gave him some food and clothing as a gift. He didn't spend much money. Unexpectedly, this person kept shouting "God's grace is great". Emperor Qianyuan, who had been in politics for 20 years and had a very thick skin, blushed for the first time in a rare occasion.

Well, this Zhu Shizhu is not bad, he is a kind man, although he has some pustules, he is exactly the person I need! Thinking of this, Suletan became more and more satisfied and said cheerfully: "I can't thank you enough to be grateful. Please stay safe. Come, please sit down and brew a pot of my treasured Xinyang Maojian. Please taste it, King Yan."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Shizhong thanked him hurriedly.

A pot of fragrant tea makes a difference. The two men talked again, and Sultan got to the point, "Now that the world is in chaos and rebels are rising, it is the time for heroes to rise." After saying this, he stared hard into Zhu Shizhong's eyes. It's ridiculous that Yanchang Fan didn't understand, and still showed his courtesy with a low eyebrow. This guy really has no political sense at all!

"Uh~" Emperor Qianyuan had no choice but to explain to him patiently, "A few days ago, Jin Shengheng in Jiangxi and Li Chengdong in Guangdong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. Fujian, Zhejiang, and Huguang were also in war. Last month, I received news that Jiang Quan of Datong and Wang Yongqiang of northern Shaanxi also mobilized troops and raised righteousness. This is a good opportunity to restore the Ming Dynasty!"

"Restore the Ming Dynasty? This is great! I hope His Majesty Emperor Yongli can revive Ming Zuo to worship Xiaoling." Zhu Shizhong finally responded this time and became very happy.

Suletan shook his head and continued: "The day before yesterday, Yan Qiheng, the Minister of Rites of the Yongli Dynasty and a scholar of Dongge University, came to Lhasa and asked me to send troops to defeat the Qing Dynasty. I agreed. It happened that Wang Yongqiang, who occupied Yulin and Yan'an, also sent people to me. I proclaimed my vassalship and requested that we join forces to capture Ningxia, and I agreed. It’s just that the Han people like to accept death. If I send troops directly, they will definitely think that it is an invasion of the Western invaders, and they will resist. But if we march in the name of supporting the Ming Dynasty clan, In Shaanxi, the resistance will be much smaller. Therefore, I plan to send troops to escort you to Yan'an. You can use Yan'an as a basis to revive Ming Zuo and build Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty wants to send me to Shaanxi? You can't do it! I have ordinary martial arts skills and no knowledge of the art of war. How can I go to the place where hundreds of battles are fought?" Zhu Shi shook his head like a rattle.

Seeing his cowardly look, Sultan felt even more reassured and comforted him with gentle words, "Don't worry, I will send a large army to escort him. He will be safe and sound."

"I just want to stay with His Majesty and be loyal, and I don't want to leave."

"Going to Shaanxi is also to show your loyalty to me. After the event is completed, I will make you the king of the Ming Dynasty, and you will be my David vassal for generations to come, and you will live with the country."

"Your Majesty~" "This matter has been settled." Emperor Qianyuan Qiankun made an arbitrary decision and did not allow him to object. Then he asked with a smile: "You are from the lineage of King Su of the Ming Dynasty, right?"

"Exactly".

"If we go to Shaanxi now, the title of King Yanchang is not loud enough. I think it is better for you to inherit the lineage of King Su and enter Shaanxi in the name of King Su of the Ming Dynasty."

"I thank your Majesty for your advice." Poor Zhu Shizhu burst into tears and reluctantly accepted the emperor's order.

Back at the mansion, Zhu Shizhong, who was worried, had no time to rest. Two of his close advisers, Li Shiying and Mi Guozhen, approached him and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, how is the matter?"

"Alas! It's done!"

Zhu Shizhong sighed, "That Lu Chief is so powerful. His eyes are sharp and sharp as he stares at Gu. If there is even the slightest flaw, his life will definitely be in danger. Fortunately, Gu acted well and the danger was saved. The Lu Chief has decided to send troops to escort Gu. Go to Shaanxi."

"Congratulations to Your Highness, from now on dragons return to the sea, tigers enter the mountains and forests, and rocs spread their wings and soar thousands of miles away!" Li Shiying said impassionedly.

"Now the south is in chaos, and all the heroes from Shanxi and Shaanxi are rising together. You are a member of the Ming Dynasty clan. If you raise your arms and the world responds, you can take advantage of this opportunity to revive Ming Zuo and build unparalleled great achievements." Mi Guozhen was also trembling with excitement.

"Thank you, gentlemen, for teaching me the strategy of showing weakness alone." Zhu Shizhong bowed his hands to the two of them, and then asked calmly: "How did you do in recruiting the rebels?"

"Your Highness, I have recruited Li Mingyi from the Taozhou Guard, Yi Duoyun and Ma Fei from Xixiang, Ji Jiao from Zhenyuan, Manager Wang and many other rebel armies. However, among these people, except for Li Mingyi, who is an old member of the Chuang Army, they have some combat capabilities. In addition, most of the others are bandits and grassroots bandits, which are embarrassing to use," Li Shiying reported.

"It doesn't matter. When Gu enters Shaanxi, there will be more and more soldiers and horses." Zhu Shizhong thought for a while and said, "Since Li Mingyi's troops are in trouble, he must control this army and horses."

"Your Highness, don't worry. Li Mingyi and I have some connections, and I have asked Xu Buhuo to join the Li Department as a supervisor." Li Shiying was very confident.

"Okay, I can rest assured that Mr. Li is doing something." Zhu Shizhen looked at Mi Guozhen again, "Do you have any clues about wooing the Han generals in the guard?"

"This matter is very difficult! Except for Ningxia Deputy General Mila Yin who is somewhat tempted, others such as Lanzhou Commander Xin Sizhong, Xi'an Commander Qi Zhizhen, Yan'an Commander Fan Dingge, Ningxia Commander Ma Anbang, and Lanzhou Deputy General Ding Guodong are all dedicated to defending the country. It’s hard to win over such hawks and dogs,” Mi Guozhen said with shame.

"Mr. Mi, don't be anxious, everything is difficult at the beginning," Zhu Shizhong laughed, "We are about to leave, and it suddenly dawns on us that tonight, I will have a drink with these two gentlemen!"
