Chapter 60: The Red Scarf Army Resurrection

After killing so many people in one breath, Zhu Yiyuan's body was stained with blood.

The situation will become more and more serious in the future. In the past, Xie Qian was in front of him, including local officials like Yan Zibin, who would even hide it for Zhu Yiyuan to prevent the higher-ups from knowing.

This is also the nature of officials. When encountering a problem, they first cover it up. As long as it doesn't explode in their own hands, everything will be fine. As the saying goes, it is better to remain silent than to speak a hundred words.

But now, they have killed two green camp soldiers, beheaded several generals, and occupied the territory of three counties... No matter what, there is no way to pretend to be confused. The Qing army's large-scale massacre will soon begin.

will come.

Although the Qing government had just entered the customs, everything was in chaos, with internal conflicts between the Manchu and Han Dynasties and struggles for power. However, it is undeniable that as a regime that successfully entered the customs, the efficiency of the Qing government was far from that of the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing court's methods were also endless.

For example, the Qing court could send Hong Chengchou to appease Jiangnan. This was an excellent move. What would happen if it were used in Shandong?

For another example, the officials and gentry of Xintai all defected to Zhu Yiyuan. This was because he was too unpopular in his pursuit of land.

But what would have happened if the Qing government had withdrawn its land enclosure policy and instead pardoned the gentry's crimes?

After all, compared to the Qing court, Zhu Yiyuan was still too weak. He could be overwhelmed by just a few tricks.

Therefore, Zhu Yiyuan must take advantage of this opportunity to carry out a thorough reorganization, not only the troops and horses, but also the local areas. All must be mobilized, and no aspects will be missed.

Only by forming a large and dense network can we truly compete with the Qing court.

"Dongshang Gong, I have a request."

Zhao Shizhe said hurriedly: "Zhu Qianshi, if you have any request, just give it, I will do my best."

Zhu Yiyuan said: "I would like to ask Mr. Dongshan to come forward and summon the scribes from the three counties to conduct examinations. If they can be officials, they can be teachers. They can govern the place, educate the children, and preach our ideas... Mr. Dongshan, I don't know.

Are you willing to help?"

Zhao Shizhe took a breath. He had helped Zhu Yiyuan a lot in the past and also wrote to the Kong family, asking for a reduction in land rent... But he did not accept Zhu Yiyuan's official position, which left room for maneuver.

In fact, at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were too many literati who participated in the rebel activities, including the one whose scalp was itchy because the water was too cold. After losing the favor of the Qing court, he actively contacted the anti-Qing forces and even donated money to the Qing Dynasty.

Ting didn't kill him either.

However, if you really accept Zhu Yiyuan's official position and stand up to do things seriously, it will be different. Like Zhao Shizhe, who has relatives, disciples, and friends all over the world, he can be a thief, but he must consider these things

human safety.

"Zhu Qianshi, I am determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and I will not change my mind. But I do have relatives in Ye County. In addition, there are many scribes in Shanzuo Grand Shrine, many of whom are anti-Qing lofty ideals. I also need to persuade them to join the Qianshi...

...I have to say goodbye for a few days and go back to my hometown to make arrangements, and then I will come back to follow you, and I will not hesitate to risk my life."

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, but Song Jicheng said directly: "Leave this matter to me, let me do it."

Zhu Yiyuan was stunned, "Mr. Wan Liu, you also have a family..."

Before Zhu Yiyuan could finish speaking, Song Lian coughed lightly and said, "What's wrong, our father and son have been expelled from the family tree and are no longer part of the Song family."

Zhu Yiyuan was stunned for a moment. The Song family is a big family. Among the recent generations, there have been five Jinshi, nine Juren, and dozens of other scholars.

In Shandong, I dare not say that it is number one, but it is still among the best.

But the more powerful a family is, the more polar opposites they have at this juncture. Some people choose to actively support the rebels, while others choose to follow Fen Shi and surrender to the Qing court to become good officials in the new dynasty. Some live in seclusion and live in silence.

You may say that this is the plan of the big family, or that everyone has their own ambitions.

Uncle Liu Huang didn't neglect Zhuge Liang because the eldest son of the Zhuge family was in Soochow and the third son was in Cao Wei.

"In that case, please ask Mr. Wanliu to work hard to arrange examinations, recruit civil servants, recruit teachers, set up schools, and educate children."

Song Jicheng frowned slightly, "Qian Shi, the military affairs are urgent right now. Should we wait until we feel more stable before we consider running the school?"

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head, "Don't think so. The purpose of running a school is to cultivate talents, to provide a path for our children to move forward, and to let the villagers understand more truths and master more skills. It is not only to run a school, but also to promote ideas and strive for success.

People's hearts. The more serious the situation is, the less they can relax. Not only the common people, but also the army must set up military classrooms and literacy classes. Reading clearly and rationally, and no longer being confused, is the most critical thing for building a disciple army."

When Song Jicheng heard this, he seemed to understand Zhu Yiyuan's intention and nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll make preparations right now."

Zhu Yiyuan talked about a way for the children of ordinary families to rise. Why not give a way to the children of the gentry? If they blindly suppress them, they will definitely not be loyal. Zhu Yiyuan thought very clearly about this. If Li Zicheng came to Beijing, he would be able to deal with those bastard civil servants a little bit.

If you be polite, maybe you won't lose so miserably.

Although they are bastards, who allowed these people to have knowledge and resources?

Except for land, Zhu Yiyuan will not give in, other aspects can be discussed.

Zhu Yiyuan then named Pu Pan's name, "I hope that Mr. can serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

"President of the Chamber of Commerce?" Pu Pan was surprised, "Master Zhu, what are you doing?"

Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "It is to contact merchants, communicate with each other, and communicate with our boss. If anyone dares to embarrass the merchants, such as excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, I will handle it personally. In a word, as long as the merchants abide by the regulations, they will have smooth sailing under my rule!"

Then Zhu Yiyuan smiled again and said: "Mr. Pu, you can also see that after the equalization of land, every household has some grain storage. We need commercial goods to come in, and we also need to sell grain and local products appropriately... This is a profitable business.

Profitable business, what do you think of Mr. Pu?"

Not only is it profitable, it's downright fat!

Next, the Qing government will definitely block Zhu Yiyuan. With the addition of a pass, ordinary people will not be able to do business. Only people with good hands and eyes can communicate smoothly. And once the trade route is opened, it will mean unlimited financial resources...

However, Pu Pan was only excited for a moment, and then bowed and said: "No matter what, I am loyal to our Shandong Dusi. I want to take advantage of the Tatar court, and I will definitely not let everyone suffer."

Zhu Yiyuan laughed loudly, "What I want is sir's generosity!"

After talking to Pu Pan, Zhu Yiyuan turned his attention to the common people and villagers. He smiled and said: "Everyone else is holding together, and we can't be scattered. Just like this time, when the Qing army came in, we relied on the militia and villagers to fight.

The experience of turning into tunnels and hiding in the mountains with little loss and winning a great victory must be carried forward. Therefore, I propose to expand the original three village elders and select a group of capable, warm-hearted, smart and fair villagers.

The agricultural cooperative usually leads the people to cultivate the fields and handle daily affairs. In times of war, the agricultural cooperative coordinates and helps, transfer materials as soon as possible, and protect the villagers."

As soon as this proposal came out, Pang Qing, Wang Laoben, and Yu Dayou, several old farmers, nodded, "Okay! Okay! In the past, those gentry raised thugs and bullied us at every turn. Now the common people are clenched into a fist. Anyone who bullies us will be punished."

Smash someone’s head!”

Then Zhu Yiyuan looked at his father and mother again. Father Zhu didn't care about anything. Although he was a little distracted listening to it, my mother, on the other hand, felt proud in her heart when she saw her son talking.

I've known for a long time that this kid can accomplish something, and I was right.

"Well... mother, I mean, it seems that women should unite."

The old lady was startled, "What can a woman do?"

Zhu Yiyuan immediately said: "You can hold up half of the sky! You have always made the decision in our family. Even these days, you have taken care of the big guys, settled the wounded, escorted the refugees, cooked porridge and medicine, and mended clothes. You have really done a lot of things.

In the future, when the soldiers and horses are fighting and the people are mobilized, most of the people left in the village will be women. If it is still scattered, it will inevitably affect the soldiers and people fighting in the front and make them fearful."

"So my opinion is that women also need to unite and follow the example of farm cooperatives and establish women's cooperatives to protect themselves."

The old lady thought for a while and nodded with a smile, "Okay, leave this matter to me."

Zhu Yiyuan then said: "Our soldiers also need to be rectified, but we are not able to make so many armors and uniforms at the moment... I propose that all soldiers should wrap their heads in red scarves, and civilians should wrap their arms in red cloth. Sooner or later, one day, we will wear this

Red will completely defeat the green of the green camp and restore the mountains and rivers!"
