Zhu Yiyuan didn't come here just to have nothing to do, but wanted to say hello to Jiang Qi. After all, he had been in the Zichuan County Yamen for 20 or 30 years, so he was deeply rooted and familiar with the situation.
Regardless of the change of dynasties, these people are basically still doing the work below.
What Zhu Yiyuan means is to have a chat with Jiang Qi. We can cooperate with each other and I will pay for your intelligence information.
Master Qi and the others naturally agree that although Qingshiji has some strength now, it is still too weak. If you want to survive, you must seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and be familiar with the trends of the court. That is a must.
As our leader, Mr. Zhu should not be too shabby, but should have a dignified air. At least he should let Jiang Qi understand that we are capable of crushing you to death.
Mr. Pang fully agreed. He knew very well what kind of virtue his cousin was.
In this way, Zhu Yiyuan came over with more than 20 people, all of whom were also wearing armor captured from Wang Qing's men.
So when they appeared, the sense of oppression came instantly.
Li Wenyuan was shocked and had no idea where this came from.
As for Jiang Qi, he wanted to burst into tears after seeing Zhu Yiyuan.
Mr. Zhu, what a timely gift of blessing!
He knew what Li Wenyuan meant. This grandson was afraid that he would regain his position as prison leader, so he framed himself as a thief... He would never show mercy and would definitely kill himself.
And in such troubled times, it is too easy to kill someone.
I have been a government servant for more than 20 years, and it is really unjust that I lost my life just because I was late for shaving my head for two days and because of a beast who bit my master back.
"Master Zhu, help!"
Jiang Qi used all his strength to shout out this voice.
Zhu Yiyuan was stunned for a moment, but he also realized that he still wanted to use Jiang Qi. He waved his hand, and the villagers immediately rushed forward.
The annihilation of Wang Qing's men gave the villagers great confidence, and they were outnumbered. Li Wenyuan only brought five yamen officers.
Normally, this group of people are good at bullying the common people and are extremely vicious. However, facing the armed common people, they were so cowardly. Seeing that they could not escape, they knelt down one after another and became prisoners.
Including Li Wenyuan, there is no exception.
Zhu Yiyuan stretched out his hand and untied the rope for Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi fell to his knees and kowtowed hard to Zhu Yiyuan, making a thumping sound.
"Sir, my life-saving grace will never be forgotten."
After kowtowing, he got up from the ground, threw himself in front of Li Wenyuan, slapped him in the face, and slapped him twice in the face. As that was not enough, he kicked him one after another, kicking and cursing him!
Master and disciple are like father and son. If you betrayed your master, you are worse than a pig or a dog. I will kill you.
Jiang Qi reached out and wanted to borrow a knife to kill Li Wenyuan, cut his belly open and dug out his heart to see if his heart was evil.
Zhu Yiyuan saw it and stretched out his hand to stop it.
It's not that he was reluctant to kill, but that he had other ideas.
"Mr. Jiang, don't do anything yet. I plan to ask Zichuan about the truth."
…
Half an hour later, Zhu Yiyuan looked solemn. From Li Wenyuan's words, he already knew that the Qing government appointed Hong Chengchou as the military scholar to recruit the Southern Governor, to replace Duduo and continue to deal with the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians in the southeast.
As the younger brother of Dorgon, Duduo was the vanguard of the Qing army's entry into the Pass. He defeated Li Zicheng in a stone battle, and then led his army southward, captured Tongguan, and occupied Xi'an. Then he continued southward, first creating the Yangzhou Ten
On the same day, he crossed the Yangtze River, captured Zhenjiang, and then entered Yingtian Mansion.
The Hongguang regime collapsed in less than a year.
In less than a year, Duduo defeated Dashun and Hongguang one after another. The rapidity of the advance and the brilliant results were jaw-dropping, and the Central Plains was like an uninhabited land.
It was at this time that Duduo encountered his first major setback.
Adhering to Dorgon's wishes, he forced the shaving order. The area south of the Yangtze River, which was originally peaceful, quickly became a war, especially Jiangyin. One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians defended the city. Duoduo's soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses and fought fiercely.
It has lasted for two months and Jiangyin has not been captured yet.
When the news reached the capital, Dorgon was shocked. If Jiangyin was like this, how many cities in Jiangnan were there? If the war really continued like this, how could the Qing rule the world?
After thinking about it, he felt that Yingtian had already obtained it, and it might not be possible to rely solely on fighting, so he sent Hong Chengchou out.
He wanted to rely on his fame and means to set an example, appease the southeast, and quickly disintegrate the anti-Qing forces.
At this time, Hong Chengchou had already set off and headed south along the Grand Canal to Shandong.
Zhu Yiyuan felt very heavy. Yangzhou City had been captured, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians died. Although Jiangyin was still fighting, the city was not far away.
With Hong Chengchou, a shameless traitor, acting as a vanguard, the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians in the south would also suffer.
Those who had soldiers, generals, and territory with food and wages were all vulnerable. The gentry and celebrities all over the world surrendered one after another. The rivers and rivers were declining, and China was overturned.
I am in Shandong, but I have gathered hundreds of villagers, so what can I do?
Maybe it's really better to shave off your hair and change clothes as soon as possible and become a slave of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise you will die in front of your eyes and your life may be lost at any time... Although Zhu Yiyuan will not surrender no matter what.
But the huge gap in strength still gave him a feeling of despair.
Is it really possible to shake a tree with a fly?
Moreover, Zhu Yiyuan also learned from Li Wenyuan that Xie Qian had conquered the Zhang family compound and massacred Zhang Zhifa's descendants. The news had spread, and even Hong Chengchou knew about it.
This shameless traitor once had some friendship with Zhang Zhifa. After hearing the news, he was very angry and ordered the governor of Shandong to immediately capture Xie Qian and punish him in order to avenge Mr. Zhang Ge.
The superiors were anxious, and the news reached Zichuan County. The county government was already in chaos, and they were eager to give an explanation to the superiors.
Li Wenyuan felt that at this time, he would rather kill by mistake than let go. That's why he wanted to kill the teacher. No one would investigate carefully anyway.
Zhu Yiyuan thought about it again and again before calling Master Qi, Master Pang, and Jiang Qi together.
"With the order of the old thief Hong Chengchou, Shandong officials and soldiers must step up their efforts to kill Xie Qian. We and Xie Qian are still together. If the Qing court attacks, we can't run away. If Xie Qian wants to leave, he will probably be kidnapped.
Let's... things have reached this point again, let's all think about it, what else can we do?"
After listening to Zhu Yiyuan's introduction, everyone looked solemn and dark clouds loomed over their heads.
They really have no other extravagant desires, they just want to live, but they just want to live, why is it so difficult!
After a long while, Mr. Tan Qi said: "Sir, the Qing government is now mobilizing troops and horses. When they are ready, once they pass by, Qingshiji will be destroyed, so can you take action first?"
Mr. Pang frowned and said, "Old Seven, how are you going to take action? Can we capture Zichuan County with just us?"
Tan Laoqi said: "If we can't do it, then Xie Qian can't do it too? He has more than two thousand troops now, right?"
Their conversation made Zhu Yiyuan's heart move slightly. Maybe Xie Qian could take the initiative to attack. In this way, he left the vicinity of Qingshiji and attracted the attention of the Qing army to him.
If you do this, you can strive for a period of development, but there is no doubt that Lao Xie has been cheated, and all the thoughts of the Qing court will be on him.
Wind knives, frost swords, thunder and fireworks running, all greeting Lao Xie... Although there are conflicts between Zhu Yiyuan and Lao Xie, they are both forces against the Qing Dynasty after all.
After being silent for a long time, Mr. Pang finally spoke, "Master Zhu, why don't you ask Xie Qian and see what he is thinking?"
Zhu Yiyuan thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay, call a few villagers and bring Li Wenyuan and the others. I'll go see Xie Qian."
After several days, we returned to Dazhuang Village and Zhang Family Courtyard.
It can be clearly felt that there are more people, densely packed, and the atmosphere is warm and the mood is high.
Zhu Yiyuan saw his father first. To his surprise, his father's face was red and he seemed to have gained a lot of weight.
"You've never been wronged, have you?"
Father Zhu said: "I can eat and drink well now. I play chess and chat with Mr. Xie every day. What can happen? But you, boy, everything goes well?"
Zhu Yiyuan couldn't say anything in detail, but he could only say that it went smoothly.
Then he met Xie Qian and told him the news that Hong Chengchou was going south and that the officers and soldiers were going to kill him.
When Xie Qian heard this, he laughed loudly, "That's great! Grandpa Xie is about to fight with them! The magistrate of Zichuan County, he wants to deal with Grandpa Xie, so Grandpa Xie will go to him to settle accounts first."
Good guy, this one has completely different ideas from Zhu Yiyuan. In this case, Zhu Yiyuan immediately said: "Thank you, Chief, how do you think you can use these government officials to trick the Zichuan City Gate into opening? I have asked, and now Zichuan City Gate is open."
Sichuan County's defenses were lax, and they believed that the rebels had no ability to attack the city, so this was a good opportunity to strike." This chapter has been completed!
