I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

"General He is indeed broad-minded," Mu Heng sneered, and then shouted loudly: "The rebel army is obeying the will of heaven and responding to the times to save the people from danger. The court is unkind, so we must stand up!"

The rebel army's flag was waved by the flag bearer, and the soldiers behind him shouted in unison: "Follow the will of heaven, respond to the trend of the times, overthrow the court and establish a new country!"

"Follow the will of heaven and respond to the trend of the times. Overthrow the imperial court and establish a new country!"

"..."

The rebels' passionate and powerful shouts were deafening and reached the sky.

Listening to the rebels' uniform and high-pitched shouts, the morale of the Yu army dropped greatly, especially most of the new recruits who had been forced to come up, and their defenses had already been broken. This was the psychological tactic proposed by Ye Ze.

"A bunch of traitors dare to flatter themselves? Ha! Today is the day you die!" He Chengfeng raised his long sword and took the brunt of the attack.

The rebel army's flag rushed into the Yu army camp amid loud shouts and quickly deployed for battle.

Those new recruits had no practical experience, and after being brainwashed by the rebels, they had no desire to fight. Only the defenders who had originally guarded Yunzhou City were left to fight with the rebels. The rebels were so powerful and the shouts of killing were deafening that they quickly defeated the Yu army.

He Chengfeng's eyes were red and bloodshot. Even if he lost, he couldn't let Mu Heng get away with it today! Today was the day for him to take revenge! He Chengfeng slapped his horse hard and rushed towards Mu Heng.

He Chengfeng wants to fight, Mu Heng will fight to the end! The two men's troops collided, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening... The battle became more and more brutal, and life and death were only a thin line apart.

Both of them were blood-thirsty. Just when He Chengfeng found the right opportunity and slashed at Mu Heng's shoulder with his long sword, a piece of silver broke through the air and hit He Chengfeng's right wrist where he held the weapon.

He Chengfeng felt pain and his hand loosened unconsciously. At this moment, Mu Heng's spear came straight at him and killed him with one shot!

Everything around seemed to be quiet in an instant. Mu Heng stood there for a long time without moving. Although He Chengfeng did not understand strategy, he was still a fierce general. It was a pity.

"Dad, are you okay?" Ye Ze finished the trouble at hand and came over. Seeing that Mu Heng's armor was intact, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he shouted loudly: "He Chengfeng is dead, the Yu army surrenders immediately!"

"He Chengfeng is dead, the Yu army surrenders immediately!..."

What? The general was killed in battle? Upon hearing this, the Yu army was at a loss and retreated in panic towards Fengyang City behind them.

"Close the city gate!"

"Close the city gates!"

When Yu's army entered Fengyang City, the city immediately fell into chaos. Just as the soldiers at the back were about to close the city gate, the common people spontaneously rushed over to block the gate, holding various farm tools in their hands for protection.

They had waited for so long and finally waited for the rebels to come to Fengyang. How could they let these deserters easily close the city gates and keep the rebels out?

They want to open the city gates and welcome the rebels into the city!

In just two minutes, Ye Ze and Zhao Youliang had already led the rebels of the vanguard camp to catch up...

Since then, Fengyang City has also become the territory of the rebels! The rebels stationed outside Fengyang City, and the food and military pay collected by the Yu army became the spoils of the rebels, and more than 30,000 Yu soldiers were captured.

Mu Heng dismissed the 500,000 new recruits of the Yu army and gave each of them two taels of silver as travel expenses to return home.

Food and fodder were distributed to the people of Fengyang City, and the news that the rebels would be exempted from taxes for three years was spread. For a moment, the people of Fengyang City were so moved that they burst into tears. They finally didn't have to live in fear anymore.

In the barracks outside Fengyang City, the soldiers were celebrating their first victory after the New Year.

Mu Heng and several important generals in the army gathered in the tent to discuss matters. General Xu proposed that Mu Heng be crowned emperor and attack the capital in one fell swoop under the pretext of fighting the tyranny of Dayu and saving the people!

The rebel army has already been recognized by the people. It is legitimate for them to proclaim themselves emperor now, and the expedition will be smoother. As long as the generals guarding the city surrender, they can enter the city directly without any soldiers.

General Xu's proposal was supported by all the generals in the tent. They were all looking forward to the day when Mu Heng would wear the dragon robe.

Mu Heng frowned and thought. It was indeed the time to become emperor, but he was already old and none of his three sons could inherit his career. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a country but difficult to keep it. Founding a new dynasty is never as easy as it sounds.

"General, what are you still thinking about? We all support you in becoming emperor!"

"Yes, General, stop hesitating."

Mu Heng took a deep breath and said, "I am so ashamed to receive such support from all the generals. The greatest contribution to the battle between Yunzhou and Fengyang was made by General Ye. He was also the one who initially formulated the plan. General Ye's strategy is better than mine. If he is given time to grow, he will surely become a wise ruler!"

Ye Ze: Why are you suddenly pulling me?

"What do you mean, General?"

"I want to help General Ye become emperor! My three sons are not suitable to succeed the throne, and General Ye is my son-in-law, so he is not an outsider." Mu Heng said solemnly: "Isn't the original purpose of our uprising to make the people live a good life? I am not being modest, but the farming method studied by General Ye can help the people produce more grain. Just for this one point, his contribution is beyond my reach."

"this..."

Several old generals looked at each other, and then they felt relieved. The wisdom shown by General Ye was even greater than that of Mu Heng in his days. If he became emperor, he would surely create a prosperous scene!

If Mu Heng refuses to become emperor, Ye Ze is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Please let General Ye be crowned emperor!"

Ye Ze: “This is not good…” He has never thought of becoming the emperor!

"Eh? General Ye is still young, and his future achievements will surely be limitless. Please don't shirk your responsibility, General Ye."

"General Ye, I have high hopes for you. Don't let me down." Mu Heng patted Ye Ze's shoulder. Without waiting for Ye Ze's response, Mu Heng knelt on one knee and shouted, "Your Majesty!"

"Meet the Emperor!"

"Meet the Emperor!"

"Dad, please get up quickly. Generals, please get up quickly. This matter still needs to be carefully considered..."

Ye Ze was dumbfounded. No, how did he become the emperor? Don't you guys want to listen to my excuses?

He was still looking forward to becoming a carefree prince consort in the future, having children with his wife, traveling together to the famous mountains and rivers of ancient times, and living a carefree life!

Being an emperor is like being imprisoned in a cage, isn't it?

No...Ye Ze seemed to see that the door called freedom had been closed to him, and the sky above his head turned black and gray.

However, his opinion was not important, as Mu Heng and others had already started studying the name of the country.

"How about calling it the Great Ling Kingdom? It is superior to other countries and no one will dare to invade it again!"

"It's called the Great Hong Kingdom, with great ambitions and great fortune!"

"Why not call it Dasheng Kingdom? Sheng means bright and prosperous, which represents the prosperity of the country!"

"..."

Several veteran generals racked their brains and thought of all the words they thought would be the best, but there could only be one name for the country.

Finally, they all looked at Ye Ze, "Which country name do you think is better?"

Ye Ze, who was not on the same wavelength as the other generals, said: "...What do you think, Dad?"

Mu Heng frowned and thought, writing down the country names thought of by the generals on paper one by one and pondering them carefully.
