Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 17 Difficult Decision

Old Dog Qian Deaf used his actual actions to prove to the world the importance of having a good baby, and also proved the importance of having a good father——

If you want to go to the south of the Yangtze River to act recklessly, you must be reincarnated as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is not possible to be reincarnated as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty;

Coincidentally, Qian Deaf's old dog family was reincarnated as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and his subordinates were full of cynical slaves. He didn't have to worry about being impeached, and Qian Deaf's father also saved him enough money to ruin his family.

For example, when Qian Deaf went to Jiangnan, he basically set off from the capital around the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, first went overland through Hebei, Shandong to Qingkou in Jiangsu, then crossed the Yellow River at Qingkou, and went south along the canal by boat, passing through Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Danyang, Changzhou, and Suzhou entered Zhejiang, and then arrived in Hangzhou via Jiaxing and Shimen.

When I returned, I made a detour to Jinling, and went to the Qinhuai River in the name of offering incense to Zhu Yuanzhang, and returned to the capital at the end of April or early May.

During Qianlong's southern tour, the prefectures and counties along the way had to build imperial roads specially for Qian Deaf's chariot and horse team.

In order to ensure the straightness of the roads, the Qing government did not hesitate to occupy good land and demolish residential buildings, even if digging graves and occupying land caused public resentment.

Before the emperor's chariots and horses pass by, all stone slabs and stone bridges must be paved with loess, and the streets must be splashed with clear water.

Thirty palaces were built on the way, and camps were set up every [-] to [-] miles for Qian Deaf and the old dog to rest and eat temporarily.

After entering the south of the Yangtze River, Qian Deaf's water team had a total of 600 boats, and the boats on which Qian Deaf and his concubine took had to use [-] fiber trackers, divided into six shifts.

The entire southern tour team consisted of more than 500 people, mobilized more than 6000 horses, more than [-] mule carts, [-] camels, and recruited nearly [-] men and women.

Where Qian Deaf and Old Dog's team passed by, local civil and military officials, big and small, would kneel down to greet them in court clothes.

All of the above are just the faces of Qian Deaf and the old dog going to the south of the Yangtze River. As for the living conditions and facilities during the southern tour, they are no different from those in the palace:

There are as many as 75 dairy cows used in the tea house, 1000 sheep and 300 cattle used in the dining room. These livestock are transported from Beijing to various places in the south of the Yangtze River in advance, and they are slaughtered at any time. Even drinking water is transported from afar.

As for other foods that can be admired by Qian Deaf Old Dog, they are transported to Qian Deaf Old Dog's team from all over the country.

In addition, local officials and squires not only built colorful sheds and archways stretching for dozens of miles along the road, but also wantonly built gardens and collected exotic flowers and stones for the deaf and old dogs to watch.

It must not be ready in a day or two to prepare for such a majestic Klass ostentation, so Qian Deaf Old Dog will notify the states and counties along the way in advance every time before going south of the Yangtze River, so that local officials can prepare.

It is precisely because of this that once the time for Qian Deaf's old dog to go to the south of the Yangtze River is set, it is basically difficult to change it.

This also means that either Fucha Mingxing can solve Zhu Jinsong before Qian Deaf Laogou goes to Jiangnan, or Qian Deaf Laogou has to pretend not to see Zhu Jinsong when he goes to Jiangnan.

Some people might say that this situation is pure nonsense, Qian Deaf and the old dog is an emperor anyway, how can he do such a thing as the emperor's new clothes?Aren't officials at all levels in the Qing Dynasty afraid of eating melons?

In fact, this kind of thing is really not impossible——

First of all, the old dog Qian Deaf is the king of a country after all, he has a good face, and he always pays attention to his words and expressions on weekdays. In addition, the ostentation is too big, so it is difficult for the boat to turn around.

Secondly, even if Old Dog Qian Deaf and his minions pretend to be deaf and dumb, it will not have any practical impact on their rule. After all, the mite Baqi has a butcher knife in his hand, so it is easy to cut wherever he resists.

Of course, no matter whether it is the old dog Qian Deaf or the officials and gentlemen at all levels in the Qing Dynasty, they definitely hope to choose the former. If it is true that the old dog Qian Deaf pretends that Zhu Jinsong, the rebel, does not exist when he goes to the south of the Yangtze River, it will be a bit true. It's embarrassing.

Unfortunately, Zhu Jinsong wanted to embarrass Qian Deaf old dog.

After the rebels on Yuhuang Mountain finished sweeping the Zhuangzi under Ningyang and Wenshang County bordering Ningyang, count the two hundred young men who joined Ningyang County later, and count the recent After a few days of joining the gang, the strength of the entire Yuhuang Mountain has reached an unprecedented 400 to nearly 500 people.

Zhu Jinsong, who always likes to cross the river by touching the rabbits, directly compiled the more than 400 people into four companies, with Zhu Erdan, Zhu Sanshun, Liu Erniu, and Liu Huaiwen each leading a company, and then these four companies were organized into one camp.

Zhu Jinsong called the rebels back to the mountain.

Meeting.

Zhu Jinsong circled around more than 400 young and strong men who were sitting cross-legged on the ground, shouting loudly as he turned: "We beat the evil gentry in Ningyang County, and we also beat the Ningyang county government."

"The local tyrants and evil gentry have been wiped out by us, the money and land have been distributed to the common people, and there is no record of those land deeds in the government. Now the folks in Ningyang County can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"but!"

"Where are the elders and folks in Wenshang County? We have swept many villages in Wenshang County, but there are still county government offices in Wenshang County that have not been swept."

"When we sweep Wenshang County, what about other places? The folks in Ningyang County can take a breather, but what about the folks in the entire Central Plains?"

"I still remember when you went up the mountain with us on the first day, we told you that we all come from the suffering of the people, haha, we don't pretend to be the people, who pretends to be the people? Do you want to count on the Tartars?"

"We called you back today, nothing else, just two."

"First, let's go down the mountain this evening, and clean up the Wenshang county government office tomorrow morning, so that the folks in Wenshang can breathe a sigh of relief!"

"Secondly, we swept Ningyang and Wenshang, but it didn't cure the root cause! As the old saying goes, the root cause must be cured. If we want to let the fathers and villagers all over the world take a breather, we have to take the Tartar court Sweep it too!"

"So, we thought, after the sweep of Wenshang County, we will temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Tartar soldiers, retreat to Yimeng Mountain, and go there to open up our base."

After shouting, Zhu Jinsong paced back to the front of the line, sat down cross-legged and added: "If you have any ideas, you can bring them up now."

"Even if there are people who don't want to follow us to the Yimeng Mountains, they can bring it up now, and we won't force you."

Liu Erniu immediately raised his hand and said, "Master, why don't we stay in Yuhuang Mountain? Anyway, we have enough grenades in our hands, so we won't be afraid even if the Tartars come!"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said, "The grenade is really useful, but it's not that easy to manufacture, and how far can the grenade be thrown by hand? Can it compare to a bow and arrow?"

"Let's be honest, the current strength of Yuhuang Mountain is not enough to fight against the Tatars' comprehensive encirclement and suppression, so we have to retreat to Yimeng now, because it is a mountainous area, and the Tatars' cavalry will be restricted."

"But this is only a temporary transfer. When we gain a foothold in Yimeng and gradually accumulate enough strength, we still have to fight back!"

"Now, is there anyone who is unwilling to transfer to Yimeng Mountain?"

Zhu Jinsong's voice fell, and there was another silence in the crowd.

After a long while, Liu Erniu took the lead and shouted: "No! Since we all said that we want to follow the big boss, then we will follow the big boss wholeheartedly. Whatever the big boss says, let's do it!"

But Liu Huaiwen raised his hand and said, "The head of the family, let's retreat to Yimeng Mountain. What about the women and children in the family? Can they follow?"

Liu Huaiwen's words were on point.

For bachelors like Liu Erniu, who can eat enough for one person and keep the whole family hungry, since they did the rebellion and beheaded, of course it doesn't matter whether they retreat to Yimeng Mountain or to other places.

But someone like Liu Huaiwen who has a wife and children will inevitably have to think more about it.

For example, it was better in Yuhuang Mountain, and I could go home to have a look once in a while when I was free, but when I retreated to Yimeng Mountain, I had to be separated from my family, and I would inevitably miss it in my heart.

Moreover, there are about [-] people like Liu Huaiwen who have wives and children on Yuhuang Mountain. Zhu Jinsong also has to consider the situation Liu Huaiwen said.

After deliberating for a while with his head down, Zhu Jinsong raised his head, looked at the group of young adults, and said loudly, "We have two solutions to the problem raised by Uncle Huaiwen."

"One is those who don't want to follow, and those who want to stay with their wives and children, you can just stay without any psychological burden."

"Second, if you are willing to follow, you can bring your wives and children with you, and we will retreat to Yimeng together."

"Here, we also make a promise to the big guy, that is, when we reach Yimeng Mountain, we will ask the third child to open a school to teach the big guy's children to read and write."

"We know it's not easy to make a decision on this matter, so don't worry about it, everyone, think about it carefully before making a decision."

Another moment of silence.

Staying is obviously not a good choice.

Although Zhu Jinsong, the head of the family, has already said that he will not pursue any responsibility, but the hearts of the people are fleshy. The big guys have been fighting the local tyrants and evil gentry together for so long. If he chooses to stay, he will inevitably feel like a deserter in his heart. guilt.

But what about the second option?
It is good to let children have the opportunity to study, and it is not difficult to take the wife and children to Yimeng Mountain, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future?Will Yimeng Mountain become the base that the big master said?Don't you have to worry about the Tartars' attack?

For the first time, these young adults who had never read any books felt the dilemma, and for the first time knew what a difficult decision is.

After a long while, Li Bantou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "I decided to follow the boss."

"When I was an errand in the county government, I didn't do less of those stupid things because I had so much power in my hands. When I did those bad things, I still felt that I couldn't stand up."

"But looking back now, what kind of life did I live in? I thought about bullying others every day, and I went shopping in kilns and drinking flower wine when I got two small coins. When the common people saw us, they hid like they saw the plague. It's a life that's neither human nor ghost."

"Later, thanks to the perseverance of the head of the family, let us reform and let us join the group, which gave us a chance to be a new man."

"I followed the big guy to sweep a few evil gentry houses, and I also followed the big guy to help the villagers sweep the snow. Now the villagers don't hide when they see us. The day before yesterday, an old lady said that she would match me."

"It's the master who let us know what it's like to stand up and be a human being."

"I decided to retreat to Yimeng Mountain with the head of the family. When our team from Yuhuang Mountain fights back again, I will find that old lady to be a matchmaker for me."

Li Bantou's words sounded a bit out of line, but they touched these young men the most.

Except for the young men from Wenshang County, most of these young men from Ningyang County knew about Bantou Li, and most of them had heard of him even if they had never met him.

A guy who used to be like stinky shit, but now there is still someone who wants to match him?
Isn't all this the change after Bantou Li joined Yuhuang Mountain?
Looking at the young and strong with gradually firm expressions, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help laughing: "Since the big guys are willing to follow us to Yimeng, then let's get ready."
