After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 22
Xie Qian wanted to leave, and the most difficult problem of Zhu Yiyuan and his father would be solved, otherwise, some people really couldn't bear to support King Lu at this moment.

But Zhu Yiyuan couldn't be happier either, "Thank you...the commander, the troops are starting from scratch, and the morale of the army is not stable. If you insist on fighting the Qing court, you will inevitably hit the stone with an egg. If you must fight, you must be flexible and maneuver, use your strengths to avoid weaknesses, and have a chance of winning."

Xie Qian frowned slightly, smiled and said, "Young master Zhu, thank you for your kindness. I also know that the chances of winning against the Qing army are not great at this moment, but people in this world, if it is because the chances of winning are not great, I don’t dare to fight anymore, isn’t it because I hand over the world to the Tartars? I, Xie Qian, are not convinced, even if I hit a stone with an egg, I will try it to see how hard this stone is!”

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help being startled when he said this with arrogance.

Indeed, if the gap between the two sides is so large in terms of strength alone, it's fine to simply surrender, so what else is there to fight?
Isn't it just that there are some warriors who are not afraid of powerful enemies, they fight bravely to be the first and create miracles, and only then can they change the situation of strength and weakness!

When Zhu Yiyuan was shocked, Yan Ermei had already clapped his hands and praised, and said with emotion: "Master, you know what you can't do, but you should do it. When you do things, you only ask whether you should do it or not. What is righteous, you should do your part. Commander Xie is really a warrior in the world. Yan is not talented. I am willing to follow Commander Xie, and I hope that Commander Xie can take him in."

Xie Qian was taken aback for a moment, looked at Zhu Yiyuan, and said to himself, this is your friend, are you willing?

Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly said: "Thank you Commander, Mr. Yan once led the villagers to help the Shi Ge Department. He is a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. Let him follow the Commander, so we can rest assured."

Xie Qian finally nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, let's swear to go to war! Don't let old thief Hong go to appease the south, just stay in Shandong!"

Everyone was moved by Xie Qian's enthusiasm, and everyone immediately threw themselves into the preparations.

Originally, Xie Qian had more than 2000 people. After entering Zichuan, he captured many officers and soldiers, and recruited some young and strong men. His soldiers and horses numbered almost 3000.

According to Xie Qian's arrangement, he appointed a total of six thousand households to lead the army, pretending to be [-] soldiers and horses, and set off from Zichuan to kill Jinan Prefecture.

It was a wise move for Xie Qian to decide to leave, because the Qing court would not give him time at all. Once Zichuan was trapped and surrounded by the Qing army on all sides, it would be completely useless.

So he had to act ahead of the Qing army. As for finishing the aftermath, I left it to Zhu Yiyuan. Anyway, this kid is also good at it.

"Thank you Commander, accept the flag!"

His father, Zhu Guanyu, handed Xie Qian a large flag embroidered with Ming characters. The bright red characters were dazzling and shining.

Xie Qian's face turned red, he caught it firmly, and then shook it vigorously, "I, Xie Qian, is still alive, the land of Shandong, a hero from Qilu, don't surrender!"

"Don't surrender! Don't surrender! I would rather die than surrender!"

From this rebel leader who was a domestic servant, Zhu Yiyuan read something called boldness.Although he leads a rabble, although his odds are low.

But the big guys were still willing to follow. The moment the Mingzi banner was erected, many folks in Zichuan had red eyes, and some young people joined Xie Qian's team desperately.

The crowd is excited and morale is like a rainbow.

"Thank you, Commander, the flag is set to win!"

Father Zhu Guanyu yelled vigorously, waved his arms, and sent off the expedition team.

Turning his head, Old Man Zhu saw his son Zhu Yiyuan, somewhat embarrassed.From the bottom of his heart, he was looking forward to Xie Qian's departure as soon as possible. The matter of supporting King Lu had better disappear completely. These days, he has more nightmares than half his life combined.

It stands to reason that Xie Qian left and let him go, so it's time to take a breather.

But Father Zhu's heart was raised again, especially when he handed the flag to Xie Qian with his own hands, he suddenly felt ashamed.

Fortunately, he is still a clan, so he is not as upright as a family slave.

"I'm just a little reptile. You say I'm studying piano, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and why do I walk my dog ​​while walking with an eagle? I should study literature and martial arts. When the country is in danger, I stand up. That's how I can be worthy of my ancestors."

Zhu Yiyuan rolled his eyelids, "Well, if you always learn a good skill, you will be the company of Tang Wang."

One sentence made old man Zhu speechless. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed, "Don't say anything, what should we do next, you kid can make up your mind."

Father Zhu is asking Xie Qian about foreign affairs, and asking his son about internal affairs.

He is the commander, so it's quite worry-free.

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't say anything about his father, he had no choice but to work harder.

Xie Qian dispatched troops in a hurry, and there were still many finishing tasks that were not finished.

For example, although the Han family was killed, there are still many gentry and celebrities who took refuge in the Qing court, and they are still there.In addition, there are many surviving officials who have committed many crimes and caused great public grievances, but they have not had time to deal with them.

Then there is the field in Zichuan County, which needs to be dealt with even more.

There is no other way but to do it myself.

"Mr. Jiang, I have to ask you for help in this matter."

Jiang Qi was startled, he looked up at Zhu Yiyuan stupidly, swallowed and said, "Young Master Zhu, you, what do you want me to do?"

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help laughing, "I let you deal with the officials and gentry in Zichuan and decide their life and death, are you willing?"

Jiang Qi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh, from a small jail head to a master who ruled life and death, why did he feel a little dizzy!

"Young Master Zhu, to be honest, I watched Commander Xie execute the Han family, not to mention how happy it is, if you let me do this, even if I die, I will be willing."

Zhu Yiyuan's face sank, "Mr. Jiang, you understand, I want you to deal with it fairly, and you are not allowed to report personal revenge, and you must have a basis for dealing with these people. I will let the folks in Zichuan watch. If it is inappropriate, I will not agree."

Jiang Qi thought for a while and nodded.

"I understand, Mr. Zhu, please don't worry! I have been a prison boss for more than 20 years, what did they do, can I not know?"

Jiang Qi spat hard, he was on a pirate ship, and he couldn't get off even if he wanted to.

He helped Zhu Yiyuan solve Wang Qing's old department, and arrested Li Wenyuan.

And Xie Qian let his subordinates take Li Wenyuan's card tickets and sneak into Zichuan County.

During the final siege, the horse armor of Wang Qing's subordinates also played a big role.

If this is pursued, he, Jiang Qi, is enough to destroy the Nine Clans.

If you don't want to hang out with Zhu Yiyuan, you can't do it. This is called being forced to go to Liangshan.

"Catch the official Han Dong to Pichang Temple first!"

The so-called Pichang Temple was established by Zhu Yuanzhang to store human skin pillows and warn officials. Although no emperor has continued to tinker with cobblers since Zhu Yuanzhang, the Pichang Temple has been preserved and is the symbol of all government offices. match.

Jiang Qi was indeed an expert. He had the pawn Han Dong escorted here. In Zichuan County, he was only ranked fourth after the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief secretary.

But the county magistrates are all low-level officials. As a pawn, he directly controls the yamen servants and really deals with the common people. Naturally, he is extremely fat.

"Old Han, you can't think of it, you will fall into my hands."

Han Dong's face was pale and he was trembling.

"Brother Jiang, let's work together. I, even though I shaved my hair, I haven't sincerely joined the Qing Dynasty. You can't mess around."

Jiang Qi chuckled, then turned his head and said to Zhu Yiyuan: "My lord, do you only ask traitors who have taken refuge in the Tartars?"

Zhu Yiyuan said coldly: "Traitors must be severely punished, and corrupt officials who harm the people must not be let go. This time, we are going to make decisions for the people."

Jiang Qi nodded quickly, "Han Dong, did you hear that? Over the years, you took money to do things, bullied people, seized property, robbed people's daughters, and killed no less than ten people. Do you think no one knows?"

Han Dong was panicked. He saw that the situation was not good, so he could only beg: "Brother Jiang, you are so noble, I am willing to give up all my property, just let me live."

Jiang Qi glanced at Zhu Yiyuan.

And Zhu Yiyuan walked up to the people watching the excitement, clasped his fists and said, "Folks, we are here to make decisions for the big guys. If you have grudges or grievances, just speak out. We will not be soft on corrupt officials."

Zhu Yiyuan asked three times in a row. From behind the crowd, an old man came out tremblingly. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's the man. He took my daughter away. My girl was only thirteen, and she was snatched into the house by him. Became a concubine."

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, "Go to a few people and bring them here."

The rebel army agreed, and after a while, the rebel army came back, and they brought a young girl with them. When she saw the old man, she rushed over and cried loudly.

"Father, my daughter's life is over!"

The father and daughter cried in each other's arms. It was true that the one who heard it was sad, and the one who heard it wept.

Then some folks came forward and testified against the official Han Dong, there were those who killed good people unjustly, some who robbed the land, and those who hated him, countless.

Zhu Yiyuan saw it, and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "There are so many crimes, too numerous to write down, behead immediately!"

Sure enough, soldiers from the rebel army escorted Han Dong to Caishikou, and with a slash, his head rolled down, and blood splashed three feet...

This is really killing!
After disposing of Han Dong, Zhu Yiyuan said again: "Confiscate their property, property and land, and return all of them to the people."

As soon as these words came out, the people present became even more excited.

I don't know when it started. Land annexation is the biggest disadvantage of Ming Dynasty. More than [-]% of the local backlog of cases are land disputes.

However, the officials have always been on the side of the big gentry, and there are too many ordinary people who have not received justice until they die.

Today someone is finally willing to uphold justice for them.

"My lord, we have been wronged, we have been wronged!"

Voices of grievances come and go...

　Follow everyone's reminders, do you have tickets and follow-up reading...
