Fang Dayou had a headache. It was easy to conquer Shandong in the past, but how difficult is it now? First Xie Qian, then Zhu Yiyuan, these thieves are actually trying to win people's hearts.
This is no longer an ordinary thief, he must hit hard!
After the Qing army entered the customs, they pursued Li Zicheng with all their strength. Shandong was so huge that they had no time to take care of it.
At that time, the Yuyuan rebels were determined to join forces with the Ming army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Yan Ermei led 7,000 Xiangyong to Yangzhou and persuaded Shi Kefa to go north to Xuzhou and regain the land of Qilu. As a barrier, Xu Tu recovered.
Faced with a God-given opportunity, what did Shi Kefa do?
He did nothing, just stayed in Yangzhou and did nothing.
Can the Nanming court really not see the value of Shandong?
No, as early as June of the 17th year of Chongzhen, Emperor Hongguang appointed Wang Xie as the governor of Shandong and Qiu Lei as the commander-in-chief of Shandong. In August, he appointed Wang Yongji, the former governor of Jiliao, as the governor of Shandong military affairs. In September, he appointed Wang Yongji, the former governor of Jiliao, as the governor of Shandong military affairs.
Wang Kai was appointed governor of Denglai, Dongjiang and other places... Now that these four ministers have been appointed, is it time to take office?
Sorry, we are all on the Huai River, we are timid and unable to move forward.
It turns out that the Hongguang court was afraid of the Qing army, which entered Shandong and bordered the Qing court. What if instead of attacking Li Zicheng, they turned around and attacked them?
So we can only sit back and watch the opportunity be lost.
Of course, you can't do nothing. For example, the commander-in-chief Qiu Lei was about to set up a camp in Shandong, but Liu Zeqing beheaded him with Ma Shiying's order...
Everyone is doing nothing, why are you so prominent?
If we don't kill you, wouldn't it look like we are too incompetent?
Sure enough, the Nanming court was a good medicine, specially designed to treat hypotension.
Just when the Hongguang court was in chaos, Fang Dayou led thousands of people to go south, successfully conquered Shandong, and took the position of the first governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty.
But what happened next did not go so smoothly. The heroes of Qilu Land raised their troops one after another, and there were countless uprisings.
Xie Qian targeted the gentry and destroyed the Zhang family first and then the Han family. Han Yuan, who was in the capital, heard that all his family members had been killed. He cried so hard that he fainted several times. He cursed Xie Qian for his injustice and wanted to jump into a well again.
suicide.
At this time, there was even Zhu Yiyuan, who actually wanted to be a bandit, divided the land and granted it, and even raised the banner of expelling the barbarians and restoring China. Do you think you are the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty?
"This kind of bandit must be killed! If it is allowed to grow bigger, it will cause endless disasters."
Fang Dayou gnashed his teeth, Zhu Yiyuan's equalization of land was ten thousand times more abominable than the Qing court's horse racing. In the past, he just stared at Xie Qian, but he didn't even notice that such a fierce tiger appeared.
"Master Zhongcheng, I think I don't need to worry too much about my humble position. Ma Degong was so arrogant that he was attacked by thieves while he was resting and eating, and suffered a disastrous defeat. Zhu Thief released so many prisoners, which can certainly shake the morale of the army.
, but it also revealed his true identity."
Xin Youliang, the counselor of the Chief Envoy, laughed and said: "The red thieves started from Zichuan. If Ma Degong's surprise attack fails, we will use a dignified army to deal with it. Lord Zhongcheng can send Liu Zeqing's nephew Liu Zhiqian to lead two thousand soldiers and horses to gather together
Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang, with a total of five thousand soldiers and horses, took the main road and marched directly to Zichuan, killing one man and turning his horse on his back."
Xin Youliang said again: "At this time, Xie Qian is trapped in Gaoyuan and is at the end of his strong crossbow. Your Excellency can still mobilize Qingzhou soldiers and horses to assist in the battle. It will be easy to annihilate the Zhu thieves."
Fang Dayou thought for a while and finally nodded, "Indeed, the Zhu thieves made too much noise, Xintai fell, even the servants of the Kong family were killed, Shandong's food and salary could not be raised, and Yan Shenggong had already written to the capital to apologize. It's just that he was
The descendants of the saint will not do anything no matter what, but we must work together as one!"
When all the officials in Shandong heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
Ironically, these traitors and scum, when faced with a life-or-death situation, know that they have no way out, so they can fight to the death. As for those modest gentlemen, life and death is a small matter, but party fighting is a big matter... They will never give up until they fight for the rest of their lives!
After receiving the order, Liu Zhiqian did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered his troops to set off... His uncle Liu Zeqing was one of the four towns in Jiangbei. Among the generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he had a high status and was the kind to be wary of, so he was left behind.
In the capital, the troops and horses under his command were also deployed everywhere.
Liu Zhiqian also understood the suspicion of the Qing court, so he galloped forward to supervise the advance of the troops without stopping for a moment. Soon the troops passed through the empty Zhangqiu County and arrived at Zouping. He met up with Zheng Longfang and Yao Wenchang, both of whom were Liu Zeqing's subordinates.
Will.
"How much do you know? What's so special about this red thief?"
Zheng Longfang pondered for a while and said helplessly: "I just heard that Zhu Thief is a member of the Ming Dynasty clan and is good at deceiving people. He was originally Xie Qian's subordinate. Later, Xie Qian left, and he stayed in Zichuan. I don't know what happened.
He suddenly became stronger."
Yao Wenchang added: "I heard that the red thieves dug a lot of tunnels in Zichuan, which can hide people and food, which is very powerful."
"Authentic? It turns out he is a rat. Ma Degong lost to such a bandit, and he is also a loser." Liu Zhiqian smiled and said: "Let's go in now and see how capable they are."
After taking a short rest, they led their troops and horses towards Zichuan... However, after entering Zichuan, they discovered something was wrong. There was no one on both sides of the road.
Looking around, the wheat fields were bare and there was nothing.
After entering the village, the houses are still there, but all the furniture inside is gone. Especially crucial, the wells are all sealed, and there is nothing usable...
Liu Zhiqian was not a useless snack. He immediately realized that something was wrong and said, "Hurry up and kill Zichuan."
When they arrived at Zichuan County, an even more terrifying scene appeared. The county looked a bit like it from a distance, but when they entered, they found that all the houses in the city had been demolished. There were no bricks, slates, wood or tiles left.
Keep.
Even the outer layer of bricks covering the city wall was removed.
The treasuries in the city are empty, and the shops and buildings are also empty.
Deserted and deserted, with nothing left.
"What a ruthless thief!" Liu Zhiqian also wanted to burn, kill and loot, but in the end he left nothing behind.
"Go to Qingshiji. Isn't that the home of the Red Thief? See if it has been completely demolished!"
The Qing army was thirsty and tired, and could not capture the common people. They could only eat some dry food and drink some turbid water from the river. Then they marched towards Qingshiji.
By the time we arrived at Qingshiji, it was already approaching dusk, and when we looked around, it was still empty, with nothing in it.
"I don't believe they can hide in the underworld!" Liu Zhiqian asked Zheng Longfang to lead three hundred cavalry. No matter what, they must find someone alive.
Zheng Longfang took the order and left. After almost half an hour, he led the people back.
"I caught a little kid. He was peeping in the bushes and I saw him."
As he spoke, Zheng Longfang threw a young boy to the ground.
"Tell me, where are all the people hiding?"
The boy didn't say a word. Zheng Longfang immediately raised his riding crop and whipped it down hard. Immediately, the clothes on the boy's back tore open, leaving a deep bloody mark.
He groaned and said nothing.
Zheng Longfang was furious, "Little boy, your bones are stronger than my whip!"
After saying that, he waved his whip wildly. After a while, the young man was covered with bruises and was beaten until he was dying.
Liu Zhiqian saw this, jumped off the horse, waved his hand to ask Zheng Longfang to stop, then squatted down, and said with a smile: "Little brother, don't hold on, what benefits have I given you?"
Ah? Say it, say it. Whatever you want, just say it."
He asked several times in succession, and the young man seemed to wake up a little. He slowly uttered two words, "Steamed bun... head..."
Liu Zhiqian laughed and said, "I want to eat steamed buns, give it to him!"
A Qing army handed the hard steamed bun to the boy. The boy reluctantly opened his mouth, took a bite, and chewed it carefully, with a smile gradually appearing on his face.
"Delicious."
Liu Zhiqian smiled proudly and said: "As long as it tastes good, as long as you say so, I will make sure you eat the steamed buns every time."
The young man ignored him, but lay on his back on the ground, threw away most of the steamed buns in his hand, and said with a smile: "No need, yours is not clean. My mother, my brothers and sisters will have clean steamed buns every day from now on..."
…I feel relieved.”
After saying that, the young man closed his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became a little brighter... This chapter has been completed!
