After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 3 Procrastination
After Xie Qian finished speaking, Zhu Yiyuan was immediately dumbfounded.

This is that the third prince Zhu has not yet developed it, so use them to make up the number?

How many people do you have to support King Lu?

But when he thought that there were three thousand soldiers and horses, and the Great Song Dynasty was about to be reopened, he felt relieved.

But Shandong was right under the eyes of the Qing court, and the ordinary rebel army might still exist. If they really played under the banner of King Lu of Ming Dynasty, they would immediately mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them, and they would never be polite.

It is very difficult for him to live, how can he take the initiative to seek death!
However, it is Xie Qian who has the final say now, and Zhu Yiyuan and his father can only listen to others talking... Xie Qian told Zhu's father and son that he came from a humble background, but was a servant of the Han family. Serve before the saddle.

However, when the Tartars entered the capital last year, Han Yuan actually became a second minister and an official of the Qing court.

Xie Qian was angry, "I, Xie Qian, have followed the Han family for many years, and I was lucky enough to read a few books, so the master kept telling me the way of loyalty, but when the Tartars came in, he changed his family instead and became a grand master." An official of the Qing Dynasty, I was really blind, I thought he was an upright Wenyuan Qingliu, but I didn't expect him to surrender to the enemy and become a second minister, alas!"

The corners of Zhu Yiyuan's mouth turned up slightly, this Han Yuan is indeed a scholar-bureaucrat, he usually teaches his subordinates to be loyal and courageous, but when it comes to critical moments, he feels too cold.

Xie Qian, on the other hand, was unwilling to be a slave of slaves, so he left the Han family angrily. After more than a year, he has already pulled up a team of more than 1000 people.

Although I dare not say that the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, but looking at Zichuan County, it is also the largest group of rebels.

And because he has read a lot of books in the Han family, his knowledge is much better than that of ordinary rebels, otherwise how could he think of the idea of ​​supporting King Lu!

Suddenly, Zhu Yiyuan frowned, and he finally remembered that this Xie Qian's name can be passed on to future generations, not because he has the same name as that paper old elder.

The main reason is that he did a very pleasing thing, that is, executed the big traitor Sun Zhixie, yes, that shameless person who proposed to the Qing court to shave his hair and change clothes!
Xie Qian killed him in a very imaginative way.This made Sun Zhixie one of the few traitors in the late Ming Dynasty who were rewarded for their evil.

From this point of view alone, Xie Qian is worthy of the word hero.

It's just that when it comes to Xie Qian's uprising, it still hasn't broken away from the category of bandits. It just broke through several counties and was brutally suppressed by the Qing court...

If you promise him and become King Lu, I'm afraid you will die faster and worse!

Zhu Yiyuan's mind turned rapidly, how to deal with it.

Xie Qian scolded Han Yuan, and said: "Master Zhu, I come from a humble background, and it is really a headache to order the brothers below. They don't listen to orders, looting everywhere, even your house was robbed, it is really a sin! So I sincerely invite Master Zhu to come out of the mountain, and all the brothers are willing to regard you as the master and listen to your orders. I also hope that Master Zhu will not doubt you."

Father Zhu swallowed hard. He also felt that something was wrong, and quickly evaded, "Thank you, Chief, our family is just a branch of the King Lu family. The real King Lu has already gone to Shaoxing."

Xie Qian didn't care about that, and smiled bluntly: "That King Lu went to the south of the Yangtze River, he is a fake! Whoever is in Shandong is the King of Lu! Whoever I want to be the King of Lu can be the King of Lu!"

Xie Qian was very domineering, and he scared old man Zhu very much. With this attitude, can he listen to his orders?

Isn't this a joke, following him is like being a puppet.

Father Zhu said bitterly again: "Thank you, Chief, I, I really can't do it, there are many clans in Shandong, but, you can find someone else... Don't, don't hurt me, don't hurt me!"

The old man spoke with a crying tone, and waved his hands desperately.

Xie Qian was so angry that he didn't know how to praise him. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Xu's head again.

"Master Zhu, yesterday, he was still jumping around and cocking his toes, but now he is decapitated."

Just this one sentence scared old man Zhu out of his wits, "Leader, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

Xie Qian said with a chuckle: "Master Zhu, don't worry, no matter what, I will not do anything to you. It's just that the army is in chaos right now, and the Zhang family has suffered a great loss. They will definitely retaliate, and the Qing court will not be polite. At this point, are you still unwilling to agree to my request? I thank you and left, but no one can protect Master Zhu's family."

In a word, I have completely grasped old man Zhu, what should I do?
"Got it!" Zhu Yiyuan said.

Father Zhu was dumbfounded. If he agreed, there would definitely be no good end, but the problem is that if he doesn't agree, it won't work either.Dad's mind went blank and he couldn't speak.

Xie Qian finally smiled and said, "Young Master Zhu, you didn't want to shave your hair yesterday and threw yourself into a well. You are a man of integrity. Your father has become King Lu, and you are the son of King Lu. Don't worry, I, Xie Qian, will not treat you badly."

Zhu Yiyuan smiled wryly in his heart, this guy really doesn't hide it, he wants to be the king!

Follow him all the time, it will definitely not end well, even if he really conquers the world, he is not the son of King Lu, but King Xiaoming...

But Xie Qian was also right. If he didn't listen to Xie Qian at this time and lost his protection, even if he escaped according to the original plan, he would just be lingering on his last breath.

And there is a high probability that she will shave her hair and change clothes, pretending to be a grandson for the rest of her life.

Could it be that I am willing to be an obedient citizen of the Qing Dynasty?
That's a chrysanthemum set of electric drills.

So temporarily agreeing to Xie Qian might be a way out, but it is absolutely unacceptable to be Lu Wang's act of lighting the toilet.

Fortunately, in his previous life, Zhu Yiyuan came back from the military camp and worked as a local civil servant for several years, so he still has a little experience in persuading others.

"Leader Xie sent troops out of righteousness and beat off the court eagles and dogs, so that my father and son were saved from the pain of shaving their hair. Today, Zhang Xu's head was sent to avenge our hatred. The great kindness is so great. Wansheng is really grateful. Regardless of the leader Xie let us No matter what we do, we are all terrified, and we will die!"

These few words greatly benefited Xie Qian, and he said with a smile: "Young Master Zhu, don't worry, there are rebels everywhere in the land of Qilu now, and the Tartars are like rabbits whose tails can't grow. Sooner or later, your father will come to the world, and then you Not just the prince, but the prince."

Zhu Yiyuan was amused in his heart, this cake painting skill is still not very good, although he is big enough, but obviously he can't eat it in his mouth.But Zhu Yiyuan still had to look grateful.

"Everything was given by Chief Xie... It's just that the late student still has some doubts. I wonder if I can tell you?"

"Talk!" Xie Qian said proudly: "Does Mr. Zhu want some servants, or some furniture and utensils, I will send them immediately."

Zhu Yiyuan grinned wryly, he didn't mean to enjoy it.

"Boss Xie, I'm just worried. For so many years, the clan of the vassal king has run rampant in the countryside. The common people hate the clan's children very much. Looking at the world, the Ming Dynasty lost its morals, so that the sky was angry and people complained. In the end, Li Zicheng killed him in the capital, ruined the country and ruined the family. ...At this moment, it is really hard to say how many people can be gathered under the banner of Ming Dynasty. If the common people implicate their dissatisfaction with the clan on the leader and affect the overall situation, it would be bad."

Xie Qian suddenly widened his eyes and burst into anger, "Mr. Zhu, what do you mean? Could it be that you persuade me to surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhu Yiyuan immediately said: "Thank you, leader, anyone can surrender, but the surname Zhu can't surrender. Others can survive if they surrender, but if the Zhu family surrenders, they will die. No matter how stupid you are, you can't be the one who jumped into the pot on your own initiative. Fat sheep!"

Xie Qian frowned and thought about it, Zhu Yiyuan was right, "Then I don't understand Mr. Zhu's meaning, how can you say that Daming is not good?"

Zhu Yiyuan had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Leader Xie, whether the Ming Dynasty is good or bad, everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, and it cannot be covered up by anyone who wants to whitewash. What I mean is that relying on the banner of the clan alone is not enough to achieve great things. Chief Xie must gather people's hearts , increase strength, and win the support of the people in Shandong. Only then will things come to fruition, and we will get twice the result with half the effort. In the end, whether we can defeat the Qing court or not depends on Chief Xie. Supporting King Lu is just icing on the cake."

After finishing these few words, Xie Qian couldn't help but fell into deep thought... This Mr. Zhu in front of him is really not simple!

The Ming Dynasty is nostalgic, but in the past few decades, natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused the common people to live in dire straits, who knows?When Li Zicheng entered the capital, the northern provinces almost depended on the news.

It's just that Li Zicheng was defeated, the Eight Banners entered the customs, and he promoted shaving hair and changing clothes, which was unpopular, so the rebels rose everywhere, not just to restore the Ming Dynasty.

But then again, the Ming Dynasty has been in the world for 300 years and still has a huge influence. If you want to fight the Qing court, you will inevitably play the name of the Ming Dynasty.

As Zhu Yiyuan said, this signboard can be icing on the cake, but it is not enough to accomplish great things...

Thinking of this, Xie Qian let out a deep breath, "Young master Zhu, you are not old, but you are not low in knowledge, have you ever read?"

Zhu Yiyuan said: "I've read some, but it's not very good."

Xie Qian smiled slightly, "Young Master Zhu is right. There is not even a decent place to stay. It is still too early to support the King of Lu. It will be considered appropriate when I lay down a few prefectures and counties. "

Zhu Yiyuan smiled wryly in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.Such things as raising troops to rebel have a very low success rate, and they are always fighting for their lives with their heads up.

Among the many rebels, like Xie Qian, those who have left their names in later generations have been considered very successful.Could it be that Zhu Yiyuan at this time can still teach others how to do things?
Just like a joke, this tiger is a man-eating tiger after all, so it's good enough to make him suspend his thoughts.

Zhu Yiyuan had nothing to say, but Xie Qian was very happy. He got up straight away, and said with a smile: "Master Zhu, I have made some calculations, and I really want to lay down a piece of land. In this way, I will transfer my brothers to Qingshiji later. The Zhang family took the knife, and then entered Zichuan County, Jinan Prefecture!"

"That's it, goodbye!"

After this man finished speaking, he strode outside, followed by his subordinates, Zhu Yiyuan glanced at his father, and the father and son hurried out to see him off.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Qian disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, Father Zhu came back to his senses, "This is like a dream... If only it was a dream, nothing will happen when I wake up."

Zhu Yiyuan coughed lightly, "It's not a dream, if you don't believe me, go and see, Zhang Xu's head is still in the living room."

Zhu's face suddenly changed, and the leg that was about to step into the living room was taken back in a daze.He bowed his head and went to the east wing, Zhu Yiyuan also followed.

At this time, my old lady also came from behind, "Are they all gone? Are you all right?"

Father Zhu lamented, "It's okay? It's a serious matter, and I'm going to stay in Qingshiji permanently! Come here, let's discuss it."
