Prince Duduo of Yu was a thick and fierce man with a beard and sharp eyes.
He led the elite Eight Banners and marched directly into Jinan City.
Governor Qian Qianyi, Yan Zibin, and other officials were waiting at the city gate to welcome the Prince of Yu.
Duduo obeyed his brother's wishes and was quite polite to these people without any harsh words.
"It's just a mere thieves and bandits, nothing special. When I come here, I will capture them easily. You don't have to worry."
Qian Qianyi immediately bowed and said: "With the power of Prince Yu, the little thieves are naturally not a problem. If Master Wang makes a mistake, they will definitely disintegrate and disappear, leaving no chickens or dogs behind."
Shang exchanged a few words, and Duduo smiled and said: "Governor Qian, I heard that your wife has traveled thousands of miles and came from the south of the Yangtze River. How is she always?"
Qian Qianyi trembled when he heard Duduo asking Liu Rushi.
Damn it, this girl won’t be targeted, right?
Duduo had a very bad reputation. In the early years when he was still young, Huang Taiji also hated the three brothers, so he chose a dark and ugly woman to be Duduo's wife.
What does this woman look like?
Let's put it this way, Dodo was so scared that he didn't dare to go home and wandered outside all day long.
By chance, he heard that Fan Wencheng's wife was young and beautiful, so Duduo immediately snatched Fan Wencheng's wife away. He also worked hard for several days on Fan Wencheng's behalf.
This kind of ridiculous thing would be unimaginable in any dynasty. Directly snatching the wife of a minister, anyone with a little bit of blood would have to fight to the death, and the national laws of the court absolutely cannot allow it.
So what will be the fate of Dodo?
He was fined 10,000 taels of silver and deprived of half of his oxen.
That's all!
This is the value of Fan Wencheng being a dog to the Qing court... On the surface, he is a highly respected leader of Han officials. He helped formulate so many national policies, which can be said to be a great achievement.
But when it comes to practical issues, you are just a worthless slave. If your wife is robbed, you have to endure it honestly. Even if you pay a small fine, it is not for him.
Because of this story, Qian Qianyi was frightened out of his mind when Duduo mentioned Liu Rushi.
You notorious thing, don't you just fall in love with my wife?
"I told Prince Yu that she was not accustomed to the local environment and was not feeling well. She fell ill when she arrived in Shandong and could not leave the house."
When Duduo heard this, he didn't say anything.
Qian Qianyi quickly invited him to the reception banquet, and the civil and military officials of Shandong flattered Duduo, saying that success was imminent, the death of thieves was imminent, and Shandong would soon be at peace.
Duduo was also observing his words. After looking around, he suddenly noticed that there was a person with a solemn face, who seemed not to be very optimistic. He directly called his name and said, "Come on, tell me."
The person who was called was Yan Zibin. When he heard the call, he could only stand up tremblingly.
"Replying to Prince Yu, I know that your Majesty is mighty and the Eight Banners soldiers are brave and unmatched in the world. I just have something to say that I dare not not say, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Speak. I'm listening."
Yan Zibin pondered for a while, then summoned up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, the Zhu bandits are different from ordinary bandits. They spread land everywhere, win over people's hearts, and organize and train local militia. Under the militia, there are young and strong civilian men. Every village
, they are all ten village elders, and he also asked his men to dig a lot of tunnels. They are layer upon layer and very tight."
Duduo was startled, "Why, you want to say that this thief is very powerful?"
Yan Zibin said: "It's not that the red thieves are very powerful, it's just that when the army attacks, the red thieves can evade. Not only can they evade, but they can also coerce the people and deal with the officers and soldiers together. There will not be the kind of people running around and being difficult to control.
situation."
"Oh! Are you serious?" Duduo attacked Yangzhou, Yingtian, and Jiangyin. He was very skillful in driving away the people and overcoming the fortified city.
I never expected that someone would be able to break this conspiracy.
Yan Zibin said cautiously: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. General Ma Degong and Liu Zhiqian suffered this loss. They rushed in hastily, but they did not know that the red thieves' eyes and ears were everywhere in all directions. When the army was exhausted, they decisively
We attacked and defeated these two troops."
When Duduo heard this, he couldn't help but become serious, "What about Tong Yangliang? How did he fail?"
"Returning to the prince, although the Zhu Thief started his army not long ago, he is good at winning people's hearts, and the thieves under his command are very brave and stubborn. General Tong still underestimated the thieves. Please forgive me for having the courage to speak out. To deal with the Zhu Thief, we must surround and mobilize all forces.
Ten times the number of soldiers, with the power of Mount Tai, completely wiped out the enemy and eradicated it."
Qian Qianyi also listened to Yan Zibin's words and said hurriedly: "You are going too far. Is the Zhu Thief really that good? Don't inflate other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige."
Yan Zibin bowed and said: "Master Zhongcheng, unless I'm flattering the Zhu thieves, this group of thieves is actually in a special situation. He has now spread to nearly ten counties. Unless he has great courage and determination, he can't do it."
Completely eradicate it. But once it cannot be eradicated, it will spread like weeds. Moreover, Zhu Thief also wrote his strategy into an article and spread it everywhere."
"What?" Duduo was shocked, "How could Zhu Thief be so bold? How dare he write out all his methods?"
Yan Zibin immediately bowed and said: "That's true. I've collected a copy here and asked the prince to take a look."
Yan Zibin took out the three articles written by Gu Yanwu from his sleeve and carefully handed them to Duduo.
Over the years, Duduo has learned a few words, and Gu Yanwu's writing is also very straightforward.
When Duduo unfolded it and took a look, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The above clearly analyzes the Qing government's strategy and points out the vicious method of massacring the city to drive away the people.
Moreover, he also said that due to the proliferation of people and insufficient land, to this day, all parts of the Ming Dynasty cannot bear too much external population.
The Qing government drove the people to flee and overran various places, creating chaos before fighting and making it difficult to resist.
The only way is to protect the people, go deep into the countryside, enter the mountains and forests, withstand the pressure of the Qing court, and continue to fight against them. No matter how difficult it is, we must persevere.
Victory will surely belong to the Chinese people.
After reading this article, Duduo felt cold all over for no reason.
"Is this demon book widely circulated?"
Yan Zibin said: "Zhu Thief spared no effort to spread the word everywhere. He also has some literati under his command who helped him spread the word. Indeed, a considerable amount has leaked out."
"Immediately write a letter to the capital to ban everything. Anyone who dares to hide it privately will immediately show his head to the public!"
Duduo became anxious. He turned around and said to Yan Zibin: "You are a wise man. Just stay with me and discuss with me how to deal with the red thieves."
Good guy, Yan Zibin didn't expect that he would be promoted again.
To be honest, Yan Zibin doesn't even understand what Zhu Yiyuan is thinking and why he wants to tell Duduo all his details. You also thoughtfully formulate a plan for Duduo. You really think you can't die fast enough.
Yan Zibin couldn't persuade Zhu Yiyuan, he could only do what he was told.
Duduo called him to his side and discussed for days. Finally, Duduo finalized a strategy to deal with Zhu Yiyuan, which was to encircle him with iron walls and press forward step by step.
At the same time, he also asked all localities to prepare for the formation of heroic militia groups to deal with Zhu Yiyuan together.
Yan Zibin sent all this news to Zhu Yiyuan.
Zhu Yiyuan let out a long breath after receiving the news.
"Finally, we have overcome another crisis and resolved it." Zhu Yiyuan smiled. He used conspiracy, encirclement with iron walls, and encirclement and suppression from all directions. It was reasonable. Even if Yan Zibin didn't say anything, the Qing court would have discovered it.
What Zhu Yiyuan feared most was that Duduo, with his powerful troops and horses, immediately sent out troops after arriving, sweeping his territory with tens of thousands of elite troops.
Although he was able to maneuver around the Yimeng Mountains without losing.
But now is the critical moment for spring plowing. Once it is interrupted, the people's livelihood will be over.
If the Qing army wants to encircle it with an iron wall, it must take some time to prepare.
"Master Qi, we got it first, we will send troops to Qufu immediately!"
Tan Deyu nodded hurriedly, this was one of several plans they had discussed long ago.
Haizhou, Qufu and Tai'an are all on the list of candidates.
Zhu Yiyuan chose Qufu, which was also quite tit-for-tat. The Qing government wanted to mobilize local gentry to deal with Zhu Yiyuan together. There is no doubt that the Kong family is the one with the greatest potential and the most likely to take the lead.
First attack Qufu, mobilize the Qing army, and frighten the gentry.
As for whether it will alarm scholars all over the world, anyway, Zhu Yiyuan also has a tit-for-tat theory, and taking advantage of the Kong family can just expand his influence.
