Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 43 The Too Quiet Zhu Jinsong
No matter how much Chen Tailai thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, Agui, the dignified scholar of the Hall of Valor, Heshen and Zhongtang, who are known as the second emperors in the world, and that old dog Qian Deaf who likes to patrol the river project on the little lady, why are these three bastards? Dare to regard yourself as a second fool?
Bully me, Chen, who hasn't read Water Margin?

Well now, although Agui's personal soldiers are not worth a lot of money, but Keshan, a man in the vest of Manchuria, was also chopped off by Lao Tzu. Are you tartars satisfied?

Feeling that he was being treated as a fool, Chen Tailai was furious. First he ordered the heads of Keshan and Agui's soldiers to be hung on the flagpole to dry, and then he summoned all his staff.

Chen Tailai touched the back of his bald head, and said: "The governor has ordered someone to hang the head of the Tartar envoy on the flag stem. Now I would like to ask a few gentlemen to analyze and analyze it. What should we do next?"

Several staff members looked at each other, and looked at Chen Tailai as if looking at a fool.

Will there be a fraudulent surrender?Will there be a delay?This bastard chopped people up without saying a word. Isn't this forcing the Tartars to fight you to the end?
After a long while, a staff member said: "Since Dong Weng has already killed the Tartars, he should simply do it."

Chen Tailai said: "Could it be that what this governor has done is not perfect?"

The staff member said: "Enough, but not enough."

"Killing the envoys of the Tartars only strengthened the determination of Dong Weng's soldiers to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but it is not enough."

"From the student's point of view, it's better to take this opportunity to send people to ransack the homes of all the Manchurians in Jining. Firstly, it can enrich the army's salary, and secondly, it will also let the soldiers know that there is no way out."

Chen Tailai bowed his head for consideration, and shouted fiercely: "Come here! Pass on the order of the governor to command all the Manchus in Jining to be executed!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Tailai turned his attention to the group of staff: "Do gentlemen have any other plans?"

Another staff member cupped his hands towards Chen Tailai and said, "The students thought that Dong Weng should send someone to contact Zhu Ni in Yizhou and the Bagua Sect in Shan County."

"As the saying goes, a single tree is hard to support. If Dong Weng is alone, even if the water transportation of the Tatars can be cut off, the impact on the Tartars will be minimal. If the Tatars are forced to go all out to suppress Dong Weng, how long can Dong Weng last?"

"With the help of Zhu Ni and the Eight Diagrams Sect, the two can help Dong Weng contain some Tartars, and the pressure on our Jining side will be much less. I wonder what Dong Weng thinks?"

Chen Tailai grunted at first, and then said in a terribly painful voice: "Before... Didn't this governor lead troops to suppress Zhu Ni before, so can the person surnamed Zhu agree to form an alliance with us?"

It's not that Chen Tailai never thought of contacting Zhu Jinsong and the Bagua Sect before, but the Bagua Sect's side had better talk, but Zhu Jinsong's side had formed a deadly enmity, and now he suddenly sent someone to tell Zhu Jinsong that he would join forces to fight against the Qing. , can someone with the surname Zhu be willing?
Besides, I occupied Jining, and the surname Zhu occupied Yizhou, but there is still a Yanzhou between Yizhou and Jining. Even if the surname Zhu is willing to form a group with him, after all, there is a Yanzhou in the middle, so Can it work?

But after hearing Chen Tailai's worries, the aide gently waved his fan and said, "Why doesn't Dong Weng join forces with Zhu Ni, the two families will completely divide Yanzhou?"

"The one surnamed Zhu can set up a peasant association, isn't Dong Weng also running a peasant association? Apart from the peasant association, the one surnamed Zhu can't compare to Dong Weng in terms of location or harmony, and it may not be impossible to take him under his command at that time." .”

After pondering for a while, Chen Tailai finally made up his mind.

It's done!

It doesn't matter if the surname Zhu is willing or not, anyway, I have raised the flag of rebellion. It is of course best to win over the surname Zhu, and even if I can't win over, there is no loss.

……

Compared with the vigorous Bagua Sect and Chen Tailai, Zhu Jinsong, who has completely occupied the entire Yimeng, seems too quiet, and has no intention of actively expanding around.

Of course, this tranquility is only relative to Baguajiao and Chen Tailai.

Zhu Jinsong now pays more attention to Meng Lianggu's foundation than raising the anti-flag to fight against the Tartars.

What is the foundation?

Page 421 of the second volume of Dragon Slaying Technique has already made it very clear that when the rebels came, they returned to the rebels. To rule, to develop the military power and regime belonging to Meng Lianggu, so that it can be regarded as a base.

To put it more bluntly, a complete base must realize its own hematopoietic function, including the training and replenishment of soldiers and talents, logistics and equipment manufacturing and supply.

For example, Li Zicheng is a typical rogue style, and he has no foundation of his own.

And Zhu Jinsong's idea all along is to turn the whole Yizhou into a base.

Compared with Yanzhou or other places, Yizhou has unique advantages.

First of all, the people are poor enough. The existence of a large number of poor people is the fundamental support for all changes.

Followed by Shanduo, the cavalry and artillery parts of Jiannu are difficult to deploy, and there is enough strategic space.

Again, it is dangerous enough, whether it is Huluya or Baizhangya, you can rely on its own steep terrain to develop arsenals.

Only with the existence of these three points as the premise can we talk about the three words of base area, otherwise, it is easy to become a rogue like Gou Chengzi, even if it can sweep the world for a while, but the stamina is insufficient, it is easy to stage its prosperity Also Bo, its death is also sudden.

This is also a problem that other traversers are prone to make-almost all traversers think that training soldiers and developing technology can conquer the world. In fact, this kind of thinking is basically the same as the idea of ​​rogues. All I can say is God bless.

Of course, the situation faced by any traverser is different, so we must also pay attention to the other four words.

Adjust measures to local conditions.

Take Zhu Jinsong as an example.

Do you really think that if you occupy Yizhou, you can set up a base area?

the answer is negative.

Because it is impossible for the Tazi court to sit back and watch him make troubles in Yizhou, it is inevitable for the army to advance and suppress, and it is nonsense not to advance and suppress.

The reason why Zhang Jia and Agui sat and watched Zhu Jinsong's troubles in Yizhou was completely because Chen Tailai cut off the water transportation of the Tartar court in Jining.

The lesser of two evils, Agui must now go all out to suppress Chen Tailai in order to restore water transportation as soon as possible.

Therefore, after receiving the letter from Chen Tailai inviting him to share Yanzhou, Zhu Jinsong immediately called together Meng Lianggu's leaders, large and small.

After coughing, Zhu Jinsong took the lead and said: "Chen Tailai, governor of Jining River Road, invited us to send troops to Yanzhou. The two families will share Yanzhou. Whoever takes down the territory will be his. What do you guys think?"

Zhu Erdan frowned and said, "Chen Tailai? Brother, do you think this guy can be trusted?"

Liu Huaiwen also opened his mouth and said: "Master, this Chen Tailai followed Mingxing to attack us before, but now he suddenly raises the anti-flag and wants to share Yanzhou with us. Is there a fraud in it?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head, and said: "Chen Tailai followed Mingxing to encircle us several times before but failed one after another. If he didn't rebel, he would probably have to be pulled out by Mingxing as a scapegoat, so the possibility of fraud is not great."

"But if you say you can trust it, that's completely bullshit."

"To put it bluntly, is he, Chen Tailai, the same as us?"

Seeing Zhu Jinsong suddenly looking at him, Ke Zhiming shook his head, and replied, "Back to my son, then Chen Tailai and Meng Lianggu are not the same people."

"Although Chen Tailai also organized a peasant association in Jining, the peasant association established by Chen Tailai is only a bridge between the common people and the evil gentry. The rent that the gentry should receive is still collected, and the poor who should be poor are still poor. It’s not the same thing as our peasant association.”

"The reason why Chen Tailai invited us to divide Yanzhou together is probably because Zhangjia Agui, the imperial envoy of the Tartars, has led the firearms battalion to Jinan."

Zhu Jinsong nodded, and turned his attention to the other leaders: "Have you heard that? It doesn't really matter whether Chen Tailai is trustworthy or not. The important thing is that the Tartar imperial envoys have arrived with the firearm battalion." .”

"If Chen Tailai is wiped out by the Tartar imperial envoys, then the next target of the Tartar imperial envoys must be us."

Zhu Erdan asked: "Then what does Big Brother mean? Let's promise Chen Tailai?"

Zhu Jinsong hummed and said: "I agree, but how to divide it, I have to study it carefully."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong simply got up from the chair, walked to the map hanging in the room, and stretched out his hand to draw on the map: "According to our location and Chen Tailai's location, the best way to divide It is to take Wutaiji to Xujiaying as the boundary, Chen Tailai takes the north, and we take the south."

"It's just that in this way, Chen Tailai will stand in front of the Tartars for us. This kind of advantage is for us, but it is for the benefit of Governor Chen himself. Presumably Chen Tailai will not do it."

"So, the best way is to use Sishui County as the boundary, let's take the east and let Chen Tailai take the west."

"At the same time, we will not only divide Yanzhou with him, but also enter Tai'an Mansion."

"If he, Chen Tailai, is willing, we will take the land to the east of Feicheng, and let Chen Tailai take the land to the west of Feicheng."

Zhu Erdan frowned and said, "In this way, wouldn't we stand in front of him, Chen Tailai? Once the Tartars invade, we will bear the brunt, while Chen Tailai can hide behind us and watch the show."

Liu Huaiwen also said: "The big boss, should we reconsider this matter? The second boss was right just now, why should we block the knife for Chen Tailai?"

Zhu Jinsong laughed and said, "Look carefully at the map, and then think about the difference between the base area and the guerrilla zone I told you before."

Zhu Erdan hummed, frowned, looked at the map for a while, and asked, "Brother, what do you mean, we can occupy Mount Tai, and at the same time, can we restrain the Jining River?"

Zhu Jinsong smiled and said, "It's not bad, I've made some progress."

"I told you before that if you want to establish a stable base, the first condition is to have a place to stand on."

"Before we were not strong enough, we could only watch Taishan drooling. Now that we have that strength, why don't we hold Taishan in our own hands?"

"As for standing in front of the Tartars for Chen Tailai, actually looking at it from another angle, why didn't Chen Tailai block the Tartars behind us for us?"

"Don't forget, Fukang'an is still attacking the Bagua Sect in Caozhou Mansion. Once the Bagua Sect is destroyed, Fukang'an's next target must be one of us or Chen Tailai. It's okay for Chen Tailai to block Fukang'an for us." It’s a good thing.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong sat back on the chair again, and said with a smile: "Of course, the most important point is not who is blocking the Tartars for whom, but the existence of Chen Tailai, for the overthrow of the Tartars. Very important."

Zhu Erdan said: "Because he restrained the water transportation of the Tartars?"

Zhu Jinsong shook his head and said, "This is just one of the reasons, but the main reason is not just because he restrained the water transportation of the Tartars."
