Zhu Yiyuan rushed from Yishui to Laiwu to greet Yan Ermei.
The two people held their hands tightly together and refused to let go for a long time.
"Mr. Yan, I'm sorry for you."
"Master Zhu, you should be treated with admiration after three days of separation!" Yan Ermei sighed, what was Zhu Yiyuan like when we parted? In front of Xie Qian, he was very trembling, with only a few hundred soldiers and horses, and the Qing court didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
.
A few months later, they met again. Zhu Yiyuan had already occupied several counties and had more than 10,000 troops. He was almost the number one thief in Shandong. Compared to Xie Qian, he was more than ten times stronger.
A hero emerges from troubled times, Zhu Yiyuan's speed is truly astonishing.
"Mr. Yan, can you tell me what Commander Xie's plans are now...and which direction should the overall situation of Shandong go? I really need your advice now."
Yan Ermei laughed loudly, "It's not a high opinion, just talk casually."
This person really held back his words and started talking incessantly.
The first is Xie Qian. This man did not go south immediately, but developed to Dengzhou and Laizhou. Obviously, he was unwilling to submit to others, especially to fall under the control of Zhu Yiyuan.
This is not difficult to understand. As long as Xie Qian is still there and the troops are not dispersed, it is a good thing.
Zhu Yiyuan was quite happy. As for the overall situation of Shandong, Yan Ermei said: "Master Zhu, what are your plans? Are you going to develop east, south, or west?"
To the west is across the canal and connected to the Yuyuan Rebel Army.
Zhu Yiyuan said in a deep voice: "With the current strength, if we cross the canal, we will definitely be besieged by the Qing court with all its strength. I am not sure of defeating the Qing soldiers in the field. My thoughts are still heading east and south.
To consolidate the Yimeng Mountain area, it is best to capture Yizhou and Haizhou. Especially after occupying Haizhou, there will be a port and salt, and it will be much more convenient to deal with the Qing court."
Yan Ermei thought carefully and nodded. He was very pleased, "Master Zhu has seen clearly and has an idea, so I feel relieved. In fact, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and millions of people in Yuyuan, and their strength is not low. It's a pity that they are scattered.
There is no way to be like Mr. Zhu, otherwise the situation in Shandong's resistance to the Qing Dynasty would be very different."
After talking about the Yuyuan Rebels for so long, who is the leader of the rebels and what is their strength?
Sorry, it's really hard to answer. The Yuyuan Rebel Army is a bit like Liangshan before there was a seating arrangement. The leaders, big and small, do not belong to each other.
The people living in Yuyuan just wanted to protect themselves. If the Qing army came to kill them, they would find ways to deal with them, but they rarely took the initiative and had no plans for the future.
"Mr. Yan, I have published a few articles here recently, and I have some experience in developing territory and rectifying the people. If it is convenient, I would like to introduce these experiences to the Yuyuan Rebels."
Yan Ermei took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Yiyuan in disbelief, "This is your special skill, and you are willing to do it?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "Not only am I willing to give up, I have also spread it out a long time ago. I hope everyone can learn from it!"
Zhu Yiyuan then told Gu Yanwu about writing the article according to his wishes. After hearing this, Yan Ermei was overjoyed.
He was keenly aware of the value of doing this... The absolute strength of the Yuyuan Rebels was even higher than that of Zhu Yiyuan. Their biggest problem was that they could not integrate and were in a state of confusion and confusion.
If Zhu Yiyuan's experience can be applied, a powerful armed force with tens of thousands of troops will appear on the west side of the canal, close to Henan.
With such a team here, echoing Zhu Yiyuan, the effect it can produce is extraordinary.
In the final analysis, Shandong is still not vast enough, and only by conquering it can there be hope.
Zhu Yiyuan focused on Haizhou because he wanted to develop towards South Zhili, and he joined forces with the Yuyuan Rebel Army to develop towards the Central Plains.
If we can contact Li Zicheng's old troops again, including the old Daxi Army troops in the southwest, then the whole situation will open up.
Zhu Yiyuan did not cherish his own experience at all. On the contrary, he hoped that the peasant army could learn from these experiences and continue on this path. After all, the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty needed to be shared by all parties.
"Mr. Yan, you're here just in time. I plan to take action after the new year to take down Juzhou... and get rid of this thorn in my side."
Yan Ermei agreed, "No matter how you put it, the Qing Dynasty defended the canal line, Jinan Prefecture is the provincial capital, and Qingzhou is an important military town. This is not easy to plot. It is right to develop southward. But Mr. Zhu must think clearly and seize the opportunity.
Because according to my understanding, the Qing government has mobilized tens of thousands of elite troops. Their strength is ten times that of ours. If the Qing army attacks the city in ten days and a half, the consequences will be disastrous.
.”
As the two people chatted, they came to the most critical information.
Yan Ermei came out of Jinan Mansion, and for the first time, she was convinced of the role of intelligence.
Zhu Yiyuan knows this very well.
His soldiers are inferior to others, his generals are inferior to others, and his money, food and territory are all in vain.
The only chance of winning is intelligence. Only those who are truly sharp and discerning can have a slight chance of winning.
Therefore, before the next war begins, the most critical thing is to reorganize the intelligence agency, integrate the sources of information, and tie together the originally scattered lines.
Taking stock of Zhu Yiyuan's current intelligence system, the earliest one is the Shilin system brought by Yan Ermei, Ye Tinglan, Zhao Shizhe and others.
This is Zhu Yiyuan's most important source of information in his early days.
But after this time, Yan Ermei had other ideas.
"Mr. Zhu, people often say that righteousness always begins with slaughtering dogs. Especially now, the Qing court continues to bribe, and a large number of scholars have surrendered to the enemy and become hawks and dogs of the Qing court. Although there are no loyal and brave men yet, we cannot fully count on it. We need
Find another way.”
Zhu Yiyuan nodded, "Indeed, on the other hand, Huang Pei, the original commander of Jinyiwei, had a large number of Jinyiwei personnel in the Ming Dynasty. There are Jinyiwei left in various places. He also provided me with a lot of information."
Yan Ermei nodded, but also shook her head, "The Jin Yiwei was useless in the Ming Dynasty. Nowadays, a large number of Jin Yiwei either hide their names and become ordinary people, or they work as lackeys for the Qing government. They are also useless."
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "In other words, the people we can most rely on now are ordinary people from all walks of life."
How to engage in intelligence can definitely be taught in a special course, and it may not be explained clearly.
Take the selection of intelligence personnel as an example. Should they be the kind of people who are as beautiful as trees, handsome and unrestrained, popular among people, who are in the upper class society, and who are omnipotent?
Sorry, if it was really the center of attention, this person would have been exposed long ago. What else could he have done?
After all, the original Bond died a tragic death.
Question, why is 007 in the movie omnipotent?
Answer, in reality, 007 is very picky, and it is also rich in rebels.
Just like the Jinyiwei, there is no denying that the early Jinyiwei could be called a magic weapon in the hands of the emperor, but after so many years, they have been reproduced from generation to generation. Let alone let the Jinyiwei deal with the Qing court, they could not even defeat the common people of Suzhou.
The truly useful spies are the ones who are inconspicuous and will not attract attention even if they come face to face.
Moreover, to detect intelligence, you don't necessarily have to keep an eye on those high officials and risk listening to what they say. You can summarize a lot of information from your daily life.
For example, if the Qing government mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it would definitely need to requisition civilians and allocate grain through canals... As long as we keep an eye on these things, we can figure out the general actions of the Qing government.
"The villain Hu Yide pays homage to Zhu Qianshi."
Zhu Yiyuan quickly stretched out his hand, pulled up Hu Yide, and said with a smile: "You saved Mr. Yan, which is definitely a great achievement. I also heard that you want to do something for the cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty. I have an excellent arrangement. I don't know about you.
Are you willing?"
Hu Yide said hurriedly: "I am willing...but I am afraid that I will not do well."
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "I think you can do it well."
Hu Yide swallowed and said subconsciously: "What do you want me to do?"
"I will temporarily let you serve as a member of the Jinyiwei Qianhu. If you perform well, you will be promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei immediately." Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "It is not impossible to become the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyiwei one day." This chapter has been completed!
