"Zhu... Qianshi, I saw you taking Master Fang away, and I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't expect..." Song Lian couldn't continue. His meaning was very clear. You see, I have all experienced the Department.
I am an experienced official. I am responsible for official documents. Now you have Master Fang. Not to mention the overlapping work, Master Fang is not a good person. If you want to achieve great things, you must stay close to the wise and stay away from the villain. Lao Fang is a complete villain.
Even if you kill him, you can't keep him.
But when this notice was posted, Song Lian was completely speechless.
He is really not good at what Lao Fang can do.
"Mr. Xiao Song, this is what you need to reflect on. Even a horse dung ball can be used to fertilize the fields. How can you discriminate against Mr. Fang?"
Song Lian was speechless, and for a moment he didn't know whether it was a compliment or a disparagement... Fortunately, Song Lian was a kind person and did not continue.
"We have raised the banner. The Qing government has lost 3,000 people and one general soldier. They will definitely not let it go. They are confused both internally and externally. I am not sure how to arrange it."
Song Lian, the experience officer, is not only responsible for official documents but also schedule arrangements. He and Zhang Lin, the judge of affairs, are divided into government affairs and each performs his own duties.
Zhu Yiyuan said: "Since there are so many things, let's deal with them slowly. Let's talk about military affairs first. Ma Degong went to Changcheng Ridge. If the raid failed, the Qing army should not take this road next, and I will send a
Thousands of households will be stationed on the front line of Changcheng Ridge, and then combined with the Taishan Army, if everything goes well, the northwest of Laiwu will be able to sit back and relax."
The terrain of Shandong flashed through Song Lian's mind. It was true that although Laiwu was considered Jinan Prefecture, the terrain was already very rugged, especially Mount Tai in the west and Changcheng Ridge in the northwest, which formed a weak barrier.
Breakthroughs are possible, but not easy.
Especially after the horse has failed, no one will take risks easily.
"As for the Xintai side, it seems that the problem is not big. The main reason is that the Kong Mansion lost hundreds of servants, and the Yanzhou Mansion did not have many Qing troops. The few troops they had were used to protect the safety of the canal.
There is no time to go north." Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile. What really needs to be watched out for in Xintai are the local officials and gentry. These people surrendered to Zhu Yiyuan only under heavy pressure. It is hard to say whether they will change their minds next.
Therefore, it is necessary to put a thousand households in Xintai.
As a result, Zhu Yiyuan was left with three active Qianhu, plus a sufficient number of militiamen.
Zhu Yiyuan only needed troops in two directions. One was Zichuan in the northeast, where Zhu Yiyuan made his fortune.
"Now the main force of the Qing army is gathered in Jiyang, Qingcheng, Qidong, Le'an, Mele Zhang, Jing Lai Chan, and General Yi Yonggui are all there. To be honest, I am surprised that Commander Xie can carry it to this day.
"
Although Zhu Yiyuan helped Xie Qian resolve most of the refugee pressure, there were still refugees pouring into Gaoyuan and other places.
Opposite him were the serious Qing troops. It was really not easy for them to hold on for so long.
Song Lian thought for a while and said: "Zhu Qianshi, do you think you could ask the commander to give up Gaoyuan, retreat to Zichuan, and join our forces?"
Zhu Yiyuan pondered, but he had no intention of fearing Xie Qian and not allowing him to come over. In fact, Zhu Yiyuan really hoped that Xie Qian could go south, then join forces, march to Mengyin, and officially enter the Yimeng Mountain area.
With their military strength, as long as they are blocked by mountains and rivers and can restrain the main force of the Qing army, they will surely develop rapidly.
This is the safest way.
The question now is whether Xie Qian can go south smoothly?
The Qing army refused to let go and pursued them into Zichuan. Or, if they wanted to cross the mountains and enter Laiwu, how should Zhu Yiyuan deal with it?
"If we don't cut off the tail of the Qing army, we won't be able to march into Mengyin." Zhu Yiyuan said seriously: "The next focus is still on the direction of Zichuan, immigrating as soon as possible, transferring food supplies, and workshop craftsmen,
They all moved to Laiwu first."
Song Lian listened carefully and nodded frequently.
At this moment, Tan Qiye... uh, it's Tan Deyu, he's here.
"It's like this. After counting, including the Qing soldiers captured by the militia and civilians, there are more than 1,300 people in total. What needs to be done?"
Zhu Yiyuan looked at Song Lian and said, "Go and call Zhang Duanshi."
Soon Zhang Lin came, and he said directly: "The Qing army expelled the refugees, and we resettled more than 10,000 people. The people of Zichuan also had to move south to escape the war. There were tens of thousands more people in Laiwu County. If not
If handled properly, immigrants and locals will fight each other. We are not short of labor now, on the contrary, food and gold are precious and cannot be wasted."
At this time, Tan Deyu also pondered: "It's like this. The soldiers and horses under Ma Degong do many evil things and are difficult to tame for a while. If we keep them, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."
Both of them felt that these prisoners were a hot potato and very difficult to deal with.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Lin suddenly said slowly: "I thought these people were pretending to surrender. They were trying to rebel in the army. I took them to the river and killed them all!"
As soon as Zhang Lin finished speaking, Song Lian's eyes widened, "Zhang Duanshi, we arrested everyone one by one. How can we count it as a false surrender? What about the intention to rebel?"
Faced with the question, Zhang Lin ignored him at all, but looked straight at Zhu Yiyuan.
Kill it!
Only by killing can everything be settled.
"Mr. Zhang, what you said reminds me of a saying, every time you go against your will, things can be achieved." Zhu Yiyuan said lightly.
Zhang Lin was immediately stunned, because this method was indeed learned from Prime Minister Cao, but Zhu Yiyuan said that it was contrary to Cao. It seemed that Mr. Zhu did not agree with his idea.
"Please show me, Lord Qianshi."
Zhu Yiyuan said: "I don't want to talk about mercy. Many of Ma Degong's subordinates deserved death, but if you want to kill them all, more than a thousand lives, I will not agree to it no matter what. And since
After this battle, we couldn't hide it any more. We simply made the noise louder and made it known to the whole world, which was just in time to boost morale and clear away the decadence."
Zhu Yiyuan has already made a calculation. It is impossible to hide. There are thousands of soldiers and horses in the three counties. Where else do you want to hide?
But it is not necessarily true that the Qing army would immediately mobilize its main force to besiege them.
After all, the main force of the Qing army is still in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are only a few people in Shandong. If you want to mobilize more troops, it will take at least two or three months. Zhu Yiyuan may have entered Mengyin by then, and the situation will be very different.
Therefore, these prisoners can be released, but they cannot be released simply.
"Commander Tan, you order the screening and accept the reports. Those who are the leaders in the army and have committed numerous crimes should be captured and held together with Ma Degong in preparation for execution. As for the ordinary prisoners, take them to our
Let’s take a look at the village to see how the fields are divided. Then give each person one tael of silver and a bag of dry food and let them go home and stop working for the Qing government.”
Several people took a breath, released the prisoners, and gave them dry food for travel expenses. This kind of kindness is too much, right?
But then I thought about it, and this move seemed to have a profound meaning.
When these people go back, they will definitely bring the situation in Laiwu back to the Qing Dynasty. With comparison, there will be harm, and the gap between the two sides will inevitably plant a seed.
We are doing well and are not afraid of comparison at all!
It cannot be denied that among these prisoners, there will be some born bad guys who are unreasonable, ungrateful, unconscionable, and do all kinds of evil... But as long as some of them can tell the truth and think of the good of the rebels.
Even if they rejoin the Qing army and meet on the battlefield again, unexpected effects will occur.
Zhu Yiyuan stood up, walked behind Zhang Lin, and patted his shoulder slightly.
"Mr. Zhang, in the final analysis, we fight to fight for human dignity and defend China. If we ourselves become barbarians while fighting, we will be sorry for the sacrificed soldiers."
Zhang Lin was horrified and nodded hurriedly, "I understand."
…
"Vicious, to be so vicious!" Fang Dayou gritted his teeth and cursed angrily: "Zhu Yiyuan, this thief, actually paid traveling expenses and dry food to the prisoners. What does he want to do? Want to disintegrate the morale of the army? In the past, I always thought that Xie Qian was the number one in Shandong.
A thief, now it seems that Zhu Yiyuan is ten thousand times more hateful than him!"
Good guy, Zhu Yiyuan's arrangement made the governor so angry that the people around him were dumbfounded. "Lord Zhongcheng, what should we do about this matter?"
"What else can we do! Send the order and don't allow the prisoners to come back. As long as they are caught, they will be punished on the spot!"
"Justice on the spot?" The inspector asked: "Master Zhongcheng, what is the crime? You can't just kill people casually, right?"
Fang Dayou rolled his eyes strangely and said angrily: "You are also an old criminal, don't you understand? They are opening their eyes for the bandits, they are colluding with the bandits, and they will be executed immediately!"
The inspector hurriedly agreed.
Fang Dayou then said: "Let's discuss how to get rid of Zhu Yiyuan?" This chapter has been completed!
