After Ming Dynasty

Chapter 55

The oath of Shandong's non-surrender ignited the emotions of the audience, especially those common people, who had managed to gain all their gains and owned the land. After surrendering, wouldn't they lose everything?

I have never experienced the taste of fullness, and I can endure the ravages of hunger, but once I taste it, I would rather die than give up.

That being the case, there is no choice but to fight to the end.

Zhu Yiyuan was very excited when he saw the support of the people, and the topic naturally led to the next item, "We don't want to surrender, so there are only two ways, either victory or death! Death does not belong to Shandong soldiers and civilians!!"

Zhu Yiyuan's tone suddenly became agitated, as if he had obtained some kind of special power.

"The heroism of Jiangyin's soldiers and civilians inspires us. But it also reminds us that even if we are united, everyone is willing to fight to the death. Just relying on an isolated city and fighting hard to the end is not the opponent of the Qing court. To win, we need to be more flexible. Tactics. I mentioned this early on, and now I can expand on it.”

"First of all, we need to establish militias in various villages and towns to protect the villagers. If a small group of Qing troops comes, we will wipe them out. If it is a large-scale invasion, we need to protect the people, evacuate properly, deal with the Qing army, and consume them The soldiers, horses, money and food. Use all means to attack the Qing army."

"Of course, the Qing army will not be polite. They are able to massacre villages and cities and expel people. They will inevitably destroy our homes, burn our food, and plunder our population... In short, we will face all kinds of unexpected things. My countermeasure is to seize the time, strengthen myself, and strengthen my strength. The land of the three counties alone is not enough. If I can take the opportunity to attack Mengyin, Yishui, and Yizhou, enter Lunan, and even take Haizhou Come down, our whole chess game will come to life."

"We must be clear that the Qing army is indeed very powerful and invincible in field battles. But we ask ourselves, why should we confront them head-on? It doesn't make sense. As long as we can occupy more than a dozen counties and have a vast territory, we can avoid them when they invade. Its sharpness can lure the enemy to go deep, and then send troops to attack. It can also take the initiative to attack and attack the weak places of the Qing army. All in all, as long as we have the initiative, we can definitely develop and grow."

"The most important thing is not to be intimidated by the overwhelming momentum of the Qing court. The Eight Banners they own are only 10 people. As for those traitors who betrayed their ancestors and surrendered to the enemy, although there are many in number, they will not be our opponents. "

Zhu Yiyuan's speech completely strengthened people's hearts, and almost everyone nodded frequently.

Then Zhu Yiyuan struck while the iron was hot, "Soldiers and folks, after talking so much, when it comes to the critical moment, I plan to set up five thousand households as our standing troops to protect the countryside and fight against the Qing army."

Now that the truth has been clarified, it's time for personnel arrangements.

"That... Father, you see that you were appointed as the commander of the Shandong capital at the beginning, and now you have been replaced by the Shandong capital of China. Are you always ready?"

"Keep going!" Father Zhu Guanyu simply replied: "Anyway, I can't do anything, so I can only be the commander of this. Even if Qinggou wants to kill people, start with me!"

In a word, everyone laughed.

In fact, Father Zhu didn't do nothing, at least he helped cook the porridge. Among the villagers in Qingshiji, including the refugees who fled, they all had a good impression of this amiable uncle.

Although Zhu Yiyuan is the real boss, but he is still young, and there is an old Zhu in front of him, at least welcome and send him off, and he can still leave matters of etiquette to him.

Therefore, everyone unanimously agreed that Zhu Guanyu was the commander of the capital.

But the next thing is interesting. According to the Ming system, all commanders and envoys set up Tongzhi and Qianshi below them.

Putting it on Zhu Yiyuan's side, it will not work, because obviously, they are also responsible for equalizing land, collecting taxes, publicizing and mobilizing the people, and there are many contents of civil governance.

Moreover, it is impossible for Zhu Yiyuan to set up another system of magistrates and prefects. During the war, the capital must lead everything.

It's just that within the capital, not all generals can be.

Therefore, Zhu Yiyuan said: "At the moment, I will be the commander of the capital, responsible for specific government affairs. Set up the experience department, Song Lian will be in charge of document exchanges, set up the interrupt department, Zhang Lin will be in charge of daily affairs, set up the prison department, and Jiang will be in charge. Qi is in charge, in charge of criminal cases."

The so-called Experience Department, Judgment Department, and Prison Department are all subordinate officials under the original capital department, and their status is not high.

But when Zhu Yiyuan came here, these three people became his right-hand men, and the official documents, public affairs, and prisons in the territory all fell to them.

Song Lian came from a famous family, had eaten and seen him before, and was able to control himself.As for Zhang Lin and Jiang Qi, they were short of breath and their faces were flushed.

Zhang Lin, in particular, clenched his fists tightly and had only one thought in his mind.

Bet right!
He was really betting right.

From a young scholar to manage the government affairs of the three counties in a blink of an eye, it is really a step up to the sky.

Not to mention Jiang Qi, he is worse than Zhang Lin, because he shaved his head a few days late, he was framed by his apprentice and almost lost his life.

At this time, he was in charge of Xing prisons in several counties, so he wished he could kneel on the ground and kowtow to Zhu Yiyuan to thank him.

After arranging these three people, Zhu Yiyuan came in front of Tan Qiye and said with a smile, "Government affairs are our business, and the military training will bother you. Please ask Qiye to be the commander of the left army!"

Tan Laoqi was shocked when he heard this, "Master Zhu, me?"

Zhu Yiyuan waved his hand, "Don't call me son, I didn't have an official position before, so you can just call me Zhu Qianshi."

Tan Qiye said with emotion: "Then... don't call me Qiye for Zhu Qianshi. Tan Laoqi has a big name, Tan Deyu. Later, people said that I am a big old man, who is both moral and jade. Inappropriate. Gradually, I forgot about the tuba name. From now on, I am not allowed to call me Tan Laoqi, but to call me Tan Deyu, Commander Tan.”

Liu Bao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, let's listen to Master Qi."

Luo Yi also booed, "Everything Qi Ye said is right."

Tan Qiye stared at him angrily, "If you two dare to talk nonsense again, I will skin you according to military law."

Liu Bao smiled and said: "Don't, you are the commander of the left army. If I am the commander of the right army, we will be equal."

Tan Laoqi laughed, "You really know how to dream, the commander of the right army belongs to Xie Qian, right?"

Zhu Yiyuan said: "At the beginning Xie Qian supported my father as the commander of the capital, but now he is willing to fight against the Qing Dynasty with us, so of course he has his place."

Liu Bao and the others were just joking, and they were all honest when they heard the word Xie Qian. Regardless of Xie Qian, he does have this status.

Zhu Yiyuan then ordered Liu Bao, Luo Yi, Huang Ying, and Zheng Hao (Sai ​​Huarong) four thousand households. As for the remaining one, everyone knew it, but they didn't say it.

These appointments were all approved by the unanimous applause of the villagers.

The grass-roots team of the past finally looks like a regular army.

It's getting late, and we have something to discuss, so we can only talk about it tomorrow.

Zhu Yiyuan walked out, and suddenly found Master Fang at the edge of the crowd, frowning slightly, "Come with me."

Master Fang was shocked, and hid himself aside, why was he still seen?
I had no choice but to follow.

This new official surnamed Zhu will take office, won't he take the knife on me?
Master Fang touched his head, feeling uneasy.

After arriving at the residence, Zhu Yiyuan said: "It's like this, Mr. Xiao Song is the experience of the capital. I need a personal recorder by my side, would you like it?"

"willing!"

Master Fang agreed straight away, is there such a good thing?
"I'm absolutely willing, that's what I do...Mr. Zhu, to be honest, I know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. To assist the Mingjun Holy Lord..."

Zhu Yiyuan waved his hand directly, "Master Fang, I want to inquire, how do you say those officials make money when they collect taxes?"

"Ouch!"

Master Fang smiled, and thought to himself: "I'll just say it, this Zhu Yiyuan is honest and righteous, and he is a gentleman. But who is an official who doesn't love money! No, he is no exception."

"Mr. Zhu, there are too many tricks for making money. For example, five buckets of rice are obviously filled, but seven buckets of rice are actually not enough. Also, good rice is said to be bad. If you kick a bucket full of rice, it will be eaten immediately." There are a lot of things thrown out... There are also silver coins, waste food, rat food, in short, there are many methods."

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, "Very well, write it all down."

Master Fang repeatedly agreed, racked his brains, and wrote a total of [-] or [-] tips for making money. He even lamented to Zhu Yiyuan, "Laiwu is still too small, and I am worried that the people will not agree, and there are still many ideas that have not come up."

That tone is to say, I have a better way, it depends on whether you have the courage.

Zhu Yiyuan was very satisfied after reading it, "You copy ten extra copies, post them tomorrow morning, and tell all the villages, if this happens, report it immediately! I'm going to sleep first."

Master Fang looked at Zhu Yiyuan's back and was stunned. He gritted his teeth angrily. How can you be worse than Yan Zibin?
