After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 15 Hong Chengchou is Here

Zhu Yiyuan didn't come here just because he had nothing to do, but he wanted to say hello to Jiang Qi. After all, he has been in the Yamen of Zichuan County for 30 years, and he is deeply rooted and familiar with the situation.

Don't look at the change of dynasties, but these people are basically the people who do things below.

What Zhu Yiyuan meant was to come to chat with Jiang Qi, we cooperate with each other, and I will pay for your information.

Qi Ye and the others naturally agreed that although Qingshiji has some strength now, it is still too weak. If you want to survive, you must seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Familiarity with the court's movements is a must.

As our leader, Mr. Zhu should not be too shabby, but should have a dignified appearance, at least let Jiang Qi understand that we are capable of crushing you to death.

Mr. Pang agreed very much, he knew too well what kind of virtue his cousin was.

Just like that, Zhu Yiyuan came with more than 20 people, and all of them put on the armor captured from Wang Qing's men.

So when they appeared, the sense of oppression came instantly.

Li Wenyuan turned pale with shock, not knowing where it came from.

As for Jiang Qi, after seeing Zhu Yiyuan, he really wanted to cry.

Mr. Zhu, it's really timely rain, call Baoyi!

He knew what Li Wenyuan meant. This grandson was afraid that he would snatch back the position of prison head, so he would frame him as a thief... He would never show mercy, he would definitely kill himself.

And in such a troubled world, it was too easy to kill a person.

I have been a government servant for more than 20 years, and I lost my life just because I shaved my head two days late, and a beast that bit the master back, it is really wronged.

"Master Zhu, help!"

Jiang Qi used all his strength to shout out this voice.

Zhu Yiyuan was taken aback for a moment, but he could tell that he still wanted to use Jiang Qi. As soon as he waved his hand, the villagers rushed up.

The extermination of Wang Qing's subordinates brought great confidence to the villagers, and they were numerous and powerful. Li Wenyuan only brought five yamen servants with him.

Usually these people are good at bullying the common people, they are extremely fierce, but facing the armed common people, they are so cowardly, seeing that they can't run away, they knelt down one after another and became captives.

Including Li Wenyuan is no exception.

Zhu Yiyuan stretched out his hand and untied the rope for Jiang Qi. The prisoner Jiang fell to his knees and kowtowed hard at Zhu Yiyuan, making a loud bang.

"My lord, the kindness of saving my life will never be forgotten."

After he kowtowed, he got up from the ground, threw himself in front of Li Wenyuan, slapped his hands, and slapped his mouth twice. This was not enough, and he kicked and scolded at the same time!
Master and apprentice are like father and son, you even betrayed your master, you are like a pig and a dog, I will kill you.

Jiang Qi stretched out his hand, wanting to borrow a knife, and killed Li Wenyuan, and cut open his heart to see if his heart was black.

Zhu Yiyuan saw it and stretched out his hand to stop it.

It's not that he is reluctant to kill, but that he has another idea.

"Mr. Jiang, don't do anything yet, I plan to ask about Zichuan's reality."

……

Half an hour later, Zhu Yiyuan's face was solemn. From Li Wenyuan's mouth, he already knew that the Qing court appointed Hong Chengchou as a Bachelor of Military Affairs to appease the Southern Governor, to succeed Duoduo, and continue to deal with the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians in the southeast.

As Dorgon's younger brother, Duoduo can be called the vanguard of the Qing army's entry into the customs. He defeated Li Zicheng in a stone, and then led the army to the south, captured Tongguan, and occupied Xi'an.Then continue to go south, first create Yangzhou ten days, cross the Yangtze River, conquer Zhenjiang, and then enter Yingtianfu.

The Hongguang regime, which was less than a year old, collapsed in an instant.

In less than a year, Duoduo wiped out Dashun and Hongguang consecutively. The speed of the march and the brilliance of the results made people jaw-dropping. Cutting tofu with a knife, the land of the Central Plains seemed to be in the land of no one.

It was at this time that Duduo encountered his first major setback.

He upheld Dorgon's intention and forced the shaving order. The land in the south of the Yangtze River, which was originally peaceful, quickly spread everywhere, especially in Jiangyin, where [-] soldiers and civilians guarded the city to the death. The soldiers and horses under Duoduo's command suffered heavy losses. It has been going on for two months, and Jiangyin has not yet been conquered.

When the news reached the capital, Dorgon turned pale with shock. If Jiangyin is like this, how many cities are there in Jiangnan?If the fight continues like this, how can the Qing Dynasty rule the world?
After thinking about it, he felt that Yingtian had already got it, and fighting alone might not be able to do it, so he sent Hong Chengchou out.

He wanted to rely on his fame and means to set an example, appease the southeast, and quickly disintegrate the anti-Qing forces.

At this time, Hong Chengchou had already set off, went south along the Grand Canal, and arrived in Shandong.

Zhu Yiyuan's heart was very heavy. Yangzhou City was conquered, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed. Although Jiangyin was still fighting, the day of the city's destruction was not far away.

With Hong Chengchou, a shameless traitor, acting as the vanguard, the anti-Qing soldiers and civilians in the south will also suffer.

Those who had soldiers, generals, and food and land were all vulnerable, and the gentry and celebrities all over the world surrendered one after another.The rivers and rivers are in decline, and Shenzhou is overthrown.

I am in Shandong, but I have gathered hundreds of villagers, so what can I do?
Maybe it's really better to shave your hair and change your clothes earlier, and obediently be a servant of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise you will die before your eyes, and this life may be lost at any time... Although Zhu Yiyuan will not surrender no matter what.

But the huge gap in strength still made him feel desperate.

Is it really possible to shake a tree?

Moreover, Zhu Yiyuan also knew from Li Wenyuan's mouth that Xie Qian conquered the Zhang family compound and slaughtered Zhang Zhifa's descendants. The news had already spread, and even Hong Chengchou knew about it.

This shameless traitor, who used to have some friendship with Zhang Zhifa, was furious when he heard the news, and ordered the governor of Shandong to arrest Xie Qian immediately and impose a severe punishment to avenge Zhang Ge.

The higher-ups were in a hurry, and the news reached Zichuan County. The county government was in a mess, and they urgently wanted to give an explanation to the higher-ups.

Li Wenyuan felt that at this time, Ning must have killed by mistake, so don't let it go.That's why he wanted to kill the teacher, and no one would investigate carefully anyway.

Zhu Yiyuan thought over and over again before calling Qiye, Mr. Pang, including Jiang Qi together.

"With the order of the old thief Hong Chengchou, Shandong officials and soldiers will definitely step up to kill Xie Qian. We are still connected with Xie Qian. The Qing court attacked us, and we can't run away. If Xie Qian wants to leave, he will probably coerce him Let's... things have come to this point again, let's all think about it, what else can we do?"

After listening to Zhu Yiyuan's introduction, everyone's expressions were solemn, with dark clouds covering their heads.

They really have no other extravagance, they just want to live, but they just want to live, why is it so difficult!

After a long while, Tan Qiye said: "My lord, now the Qing government is mobilizing soldiers and horses. When they are ready, once they pass by, Qingshiji will be finished. So can we take the lead?"

Mr. Pang frowned and said, "Lao Qi, how do you make a move? With us alone, can we take down Zichuan County?"

Tan Laoqi said: "We can't do it, so can Xie Qian? He has almost 2000 troops now?"

Their conversation made Zhu Yiyuan's heart flutter slightly, perhaps allowing Xie Qian to take the initiative to attack. In this way, he left the vicinity of Qingshiji, and by the way attracted the attention of the Qing army to him.

By doing this, he could gain a period of time to develop, but there is no doubt that Lao Xie was cheated, and all the thoughts of the Qing court would be on him.

Wind knife, frost sword, Lei Yanhuo ran, all greeted Lao Xie... Although there were conflicts between Zhu Yiyuan and Lao Xie, they were all anti-Qing forces after all.

After a long silence, Mr. Pang finally spoke, "Young Master Zhu, why don't you ask Xie Qian to see what he thinks?"

Zhu Yiyuan thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, call some folks, and bring Li Wenyuan with me, and I'll go see Xie Qian."

After a few days, I went back to Dazhuang Village, the Zhang Family Courtyard.

It can be clearly felt that the number of people is more dense, and the atmosphere is warm and emotional.

Zhu Yiyuan saw his father first, and to his surprise, his face was flushed, and he seemed to have gained a lot of weight.

"You haven't been wronged, have you?"

Father Zhu said: "I can eat and drink well now. I play chess and chat with Leader Xie every day. What can I do? But you, boy, everything is going well?"

Zhu Yiyuan didn't want to say anything in detail, but only said that it went well.

Then I met Xie Qian and told the news that Hong Chengchou went south and the officers and soldiers wanted to kill him.

When Xie Qian heard this, he laughed loudly, "That's good! Grandpa Xie is about to fight with them! The magistrate of Zichuan County, he wants to deal with Grandpa Xie, so Grandpa Xie will go to him first to settle the score."

Good fellow, this person has a completely different thinking from Zhu Yiyuan's. In this case, Zhu Yiyuan immediately said: "Thank you, Chief, how about using these few yamen servants to trick you into opening the city gate of Zichuan? I asked, and at this time Zichuan In Chuan County, the defenses are lax, and they believe that the rebel army has absolutely no ability to attack the city, so this is a good opportunity to attack."
