The world is vast and there is much to be accomplished.

For rogue bandits, this is nothing more than murder and arson... Of course, there is no need to consider being recruited.

A bandit who doesn't kill is not a good bandit.

A bandit who doesn't set fire is certainly not a competent bandit.

Fire!

In the next few days, several Zhuangzis ignited the fierce fire one after another!

One after another gentry's village was burned to the ground, although the bandits did not actually kill indiscriminately, at least they did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Of course, even so, "Taishan Bandits Massacre Zouping" still spread throughout the world. For a time, Yu Shandong's

However, the crimes committed by Zhu Guoqiang, the "Taishan Bandit" in the world, are too numerous to list.

What about burning, killing and looting, what about threatening good people, what about raping good families...

Well, the one at the back really doesn't exist.

Anyway, it only took half a month. The Jiaodong area was not harmed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but was almost completely harmed by the "Taishan Bandits" with 800 thieves.

In these years, the world has been at peace for many years. The villages in Shandong have not built earthen walls to prevent the invasion of the Qing army and rogue bandits as they did a few years later. Instead, they are traditional open villages. Because of this, the invaders

Only the Qing army could loot villages as if they were in uninhabited territory. Now, the same was true for Zhu Guoqiang, who had turned into a "Taishan bandit".

However, things in the world are not absolute. Just like now, looking at Tu Weizi in front of him, Zhu Guoqiang felt a little confused.

An earthen fence almost seven feet high surrounded the village, and the ditch in front of the earthen fence blocked the crowds of people from the village. Zhu Guoqiang, who had been robbed along the way, encountered such an earthen fence for the first time. Naturally, he was very interested in Zhuangzi's actions.

The master looked at him differently.

"The owner of this house is not simple!"

In fact, there is no talk of talent and learning. As a scholar, Zhao Jiye, because he heard that the Qing soldiers were invading, he built a fence around Zhuangzi, his leader. "Forming a stronghold to protect oneself" itself has been a way of protecting oneself in troubled times in the countryside for thousands of years.

.

No, when I heard that bandits were coming, I temporarily organized servants and slaves, picked up knives, guns, hoes, shovels and other farm tools, put away the earthen suspension bridge and built a stronghold to protect themselves.

Looking at the thieves who were blocked outside the village, Zhao Jiye stood behind the wall holding a long sword that was just for display and yelled loudly:

"Who are you and why did you band together as thieves?"

"Steal?"

Zhu Mingzhong laughed loudly.

"Heaven has no way, so I am going down the mountain to do justice for heaven. Today I am passing through the precious land, specifically to seek justice for the world."

"What a good person to do justice for heaven!"

Zhao Jiye, standing with his sword in hand, shouted loudly.

"Since you want to uphold justice for heaven, you should naturally punish corrupt officials and eliminate evil officials. Why bother embarrassing us good people!"

Although he was a scholar, Zhao Jiye was still a bachelor, and he had no intention of protecting the government at all. After all, forming a stronghold to protect oneself was, to put it bluntly, "self-protection." What officials... did they have to do with him?

Listening to the shouts coming from Tuwei, Zhu Guoqiang laughed loudly and said:

"What the scholar said is true. Now that the world is in turmoil and the world is in chaos, since Zhu went down the mountain to do justice for heaven, he should naturally punish corrupt officials and eliminate evil officials. To punish corrupt officials and eliminate evil officials, there is always a need for food and salary. I passed by Guibao Land today.

, I want to borrow some food and salary from the owner of your village, I wonder what the owner thinks?"

What is borrowing? It’s obvious that you want to rob it!

It sounds nice to say.

Zhao Jiye thought to himself.

"Please, Your Majesty, please move to another place. The poor people in Zhaojiazhuang really have no food left to borrow!"

"Humph, poor people are poor. The common people are naturally like this, but the scholar's family has thousands of acres of fertile land, so how can they be considered poor people? This Zhu came here specially to discuss with the scholar and borrow some military pay and rations. I don't know if the scholar thinks it is possible.

?”

Zhu Guoqiang also said specifically when he came.

"Don't worry, I'll make an IOU!"

This guy is so thick-skinned!

Zhao Jiye said proudly as he looked at the thousands of bandits outside the village.

"Then I don't want to borrow it?"

"Then you must be a bully, a local tyrant and evil gentry who helps the tyrants to do evil. At that time, Zhu will have no choice but to do justice to God!"

Looking at the people behind the earthen barrier with a smile, Zhu Guoqiang said calmly and sagely.

"I'll give you half an hour to think about it. If you don't borrow it after half an hour, don't blame Zhu for killing him!"

It was said that it was borrowing, but in fact it was just robbing. However, Zhu Guoqiang was not willing to waste his energy on building such a fence, so after thinking about it, he still felt that borrowing food was relatively simple.

"Master, do you think they are really willing to lend us food?"

Ding Pengcheng looked at Tu Weizi in surprise, and then at the headmaster.

"Do you think we can defeat this earthen wall?"

"We can definitely defeat it. I've seen it before. It's just some strong men guarding the earthen wall. It's not a big deal. There will be at most a hundred or ten casualties. I can definitely defeat it..."

It doesn't take much effort to knock down such a rustic fence. Ding Pengcheng still has this confidence.

"Yes, Zhao also knows that as long as we fight, they will definitely not be able to defend it. Do you think he can borrow it?"

Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.

The answer is yes. In another world, why would those powerful landowners "willingly" lend food to the guerrillas and the Eighth Master? To put it bluntly, they still have self-awareness.

"If they don't borrow it, they'll beat it. When the time comes, it won't be as simple as thousands of stones of grain! However, you have to know, what is human nature? As long as they can spend money to buy peace, they will definitely be willing to buy this peace!"

He glanced at Zhuangzi. In fact, Zhu Guoqiang had always wanted to try this method of "borrowing food" these days. Is it feasible or not? In the past few days, people have been killed and fires have been spared, but this borrowing food method is not possible.

, this was the first time. However, he believed that after the previous "killing power", they would definitely be willing to borrow this food.

In fact, as Zhu Guoqiang guessed, Zhao Jiye was indeed willing to spend money to buy Ping An.

However, even with the promise not to attack the village as long as the grain was borrowed, Zhao Jiye in Zhuangzi still asked Zhu Guoqiang to lead his troops back a few miles, and then they would use carts to transport the grain out of the village, lest thieves take the opportunity to take over the village.

.

About an hour later, when watching the thieves at the entrance of the village driving away two carts loaded with food and wages, Zhao Jiye said to the brother beside him.

"Jiming, I will leave the house to you today. I want to go to the county."

"Brother, these thieves have just retreated. What are you doing in the county?"

Zhao Jiming asked puzzledly.

"Of course I'm going to remind the county magistrate and ask the county magistrate to write to the court. If this Taishan thief is not eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

"Brother, he's just a horse thief, isn't that all?"

"Horse robber?"

Zhao Jiye looked at the "IOU" in his hand repeatedly and said solemnly.

"This Taishan bandit is said to be a bandit, but he is nothing like ordinary bandits. He kills and robs indiscriminately at every turn. Even if he kills, he has a method to follow. If he doesn't disturb the people easily, he robs us. Damn it, it's still a robbery.
