After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 100 Hong Chengchou, Your Father Is Dead

Wu Changfeng took over the responsibility of dealing with the rich and powerful families in Tancheng... You should never underestimate the resentment of a scholar who has tried and failed.

If this kind of person is ruthless, he can burn down a dynasty.

A mere Tancheng is really not enough to see.

Which big households did what, who had a good reputation and who had a bad reputation, who was real and who was fake... Wu Changfeng knew all of them.

"Go and copy the Wang family first!"

As soon as he gave an order, he led the people directly to the largest household in Tancheng.

"Wu Changfeng, we are from the same hometown. My son and you are still classmates and friends. You can't treat this old man like this?" the head of the Wang family shouted angrily.

Wu Changfeng sneered and said: "What classmate? Your son is so good at studying. He has been a Jinshi all the way through high school. I am not even a scholar. How can I dare to climb up? It's a pity that he was admitted to the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, but became the Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty. Officials...traitored to the enemy and became a traitor, you old man don't even think about getting away with it."

Wu Changfeng ordered directly, "Take this person away!"

The Wu family was raided, and then five or six more, all of which were taken down. The rest simply fled in a hurry. Some went to Haizhou, some went to Xuzhou, scattered in all directions, each looking for a way out.

Although people ran away, their property, especially houses and land, remained.Zhu Yiyuan ordered decisively to confiscate all of them and distribute them to the common people.

After this period of tempering, he already has quite a few people on his side who can easily handle the matter of Juntian.

The land was divided, and the conscription began.

After all, Zhu Yiyuan has already controlled eight counties, relying on less than 1 people is really not enough.

He is now walking on two legs, one is to recruit young people from all over the country who are eager to join the army, and the other is to reform the prisoners.

Tong Yangliang's subordinates, including the captive, did not let go.

These people have rich combat experience, far superior to Zhu Yiyuan's old subordinates, if they can win them over, they will definitely help a lot.

It's just that these people followed the Qing court early, and they might be desperate, which is very difficult to deal with.

But it turns out that Zhu Yiyuan's estimate was wrong. There were nearly 3000 captives under Tong Yangliang's command after deducting the generals.Sit with them and chat.

I soon heard countless bitterness... You said that the nobles of the Eight Banners bullied the Han people, so the Han army flag will not be bullied?
Isn't this a joke? How can a court that prides itself on being a slave really feel that if it joins the Han army flag, it will be able to sit on an equal footing with them?

In fact, even the Eight Banners are fighting each other, and the differences are obvious.

The Han Army Banners were angered in almost all directions. First of all, in terms of treatment, they were severely deducted. They couldn't even get half of the full Eight Banners. It was common for them to be beaten hungry.

Secondly, in the credit book of the Qing court, the credit of the Han army flag is rarely mentioned. Even if there is, it will be snatched away. Anyway, they are all slaves.

Again, those Eight Banners masters will oppress and bully their families.

"Zhu Qian, once a dog tartar spit on the ground, let me eat it." A young man in his early twenties gritted his teeth.

When Zhu Yiyuan heard this, he felt disgusted and annoyed, he didn't treat people like human beings!

He looked around, and found that many people were blushing, ashamed and annoyed... Zhu Yiyuan soon realized that this was not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon.

"In our army, there are high and low positions, and there is no personal dignity... such behaviors as eating ground phlegm are absolutely not allowed. Other things such as beating and scolding at will, insulting soldiers, deducting military pay, and robbing military exploits are all unacceptable." Allowed. Once discovered, no matter how high the position is, it will be severely punished!"

Zhu Yiyuan explained the military regulations to these people, and arranged for them to go to the army to experience, train with the rebels, and eat and drink together.

Three days later, there were thousands of captives clamoring to join the rebel army.

No way, the difference is too big.

In the past, the big guys could bear it. After all, the Ming army may not be any better... But after experiencing the treatment of the rebel army, this group of people resolutely sided with Zhu Yiyuan.

Regarding these people, Zhu Yiyuan is still very cautious. Before recruiting them into the team, he must understand their backgrounds, have a good heart-to-heart talk, and ensure that they are sincere before accepting them.

But even so, more than 500 people entered Zhu Yiyuan's command.

Faced with this result, Tan Deyu couldn't help laughing from ear to ear... It is definitely not possible for these people to lead the army directly, but it is still possible to be a general flag, a small flag, riding and archery instructors.

"I am not convinced, I am absolutely not convinced!"

Luo Yi heard that the prisoner had become an instructor, so he came directly to Zhu Yiyuan.

"Hey, look, what did Commander Tan do? He asked our captured subordinates to come and teach us. Isn't that humiliating? If they are better than us, will they still be captured?"

Zhu Yiyuan didn't say anything, just chuckled, "Why don't you go and compete with them in archery, as long as you can win, I will listen to you and let Commander Tan correct his mistakes."

Luo Yi jumped up and rushed out, and then the kid didn't bother Zhu Yiyuan anymore.

No way, no way, the gap is there.

The rebel army can win because of strong discipline, strong fighting spirit, and proper tactical arrangements... But in terms of personal force and battlefield experience, the gap is obvious, and there is no need to avoid it.

Zhu Yiyuan took this opportunity and decisively ordered to reorganize the army, conduct martial arts competitions, and comprehensively improve the quality of soldiers.

"We must not only have quantity, but also quality. For the soldiers who perform well in the competition, we must also promote and reward them."

Zhu Yiyuan really risked his life, he occupied such a large territory, the Qing court could no longer take it lightly, and had to be ready for battle.

The ghost knows which monsters the Qing court will send out... The loyal mole has already told Zhu Yiyuan that the Qing court issued an order to punish Qian Qianyi, saying that he was not effective in suppressing the bandits.

This was said before Tong Yangliang's entire army was wiped out.

At this time, the decree to dismiss Qian Qianyi may be on the way.

Zhu Yiyuan really guessed right, the Qing government really wanted to dismiss Qian Qianyi... When this guy arrived in Shandong, he didn't do anything useful other than recruiting scholars.

Dorgon didn't think Qian Qianyi had much ability at first, he just didn't pay attention to the Shandong Rebels, and thought it would be fine to send just one person.

Who knew that after being slapped like this, Dorgon felt that it was necessary to arrange for someone who could fight, such as Hong Chengchou... Coincidentally, now that the Qing troops from all walks of life have entered the east of Zhejiang, the King of Lu is in danger, and the Zheng family is preparing to fight again. Betrayed Zhu Yujian.

As long as these two wastes are eliminated, Hong Chengchou will be sent to Shandong to personally exterminate Zhu Yiyuan.

Dorgon didn't think it was a big deal, he was known as Prince Rui, so he couldn't even settle this matter?

But at this moment, an unexpected incident spread to the capital.

Hong Chengchou's father... is dead!
It has to be said that Chongzhen's weakness is almost all-round. Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing court with such a high official position. His family members are all safe and sound, and his parents are still there.

Even if they are good people and do not agree with Hong Chengchou's surrender, you should execute them, at least as a warning to let the world know the fate of surrendering to the enemy and traitorous country.

At this time, it is impossible not to be implicated.

Being kind and soft is not enough.

However, Chongzhen didn't do anything, and neither did Long Wu... Or they couldn't do it if they wanted to, and the Zheng family, a local snake, protected the Hong family.

But anyway, Hong Chengchou's father is dead.

Died at this most critical juncture.

Hong Chengchou, who was in Yingtian, wept bitterly after hearing the news, rushed out of the city, looked in the direction of his hometown in Fujian, cried and kowtowed to the ground, passed out several times, and woke up several times.

It took a lot of effort for the accompanying people to carry Hong Chengchou back.

After waking up, Hong Chengchou lay on the bed with tears streaming down his face, sobbing uncontrollably, "My father, my father's body has always been strong, why is it gone?"

The people who came to report the funeral did not dare to hide it, so they could only stammer and tell Hong Chengchou that since last year, people have been abusing adults.

The Hong family didn't dare to go out, the old man held back for several months, and didn't go out to have a look until Chinese New Year.

As a result, at a temple fair, a play was being performed, called Liulimen.

When Hong Chengchou heard the word Liulimen, he was startled suddenly, as if he remembered something.

"But the six relatives don't recognize each other, and everyone betrays their relatives?"

The mourner nodded, Hong Chengchou was startled for a moment, and yelled, "It's hard! It's the child who killed your old man!"

After finishing speaking, he threw himself on the bed and passed out...
