"The traitor is so rampant that he dares to go to Surabaya. What can I do? What can I do?"
The county magistrate summoned all the wise men in the city and frantically asked for advice. However, everyone looked at each other in confusion. If there was a way, there was no need to run to the city to avoid trouble.
Since the governor is giving preferential treatment to the gentry, he must have a way, so let's ask Governor Qian for help. As long as the magic soldiers descend from the sky, the mere thieves can be defeated with a snap of the finger.
That's right, the governor is a literary leader, a scholar and a well-known scholar, so he must have a clever plan.
So what should everyone do before the governor sends troops?
It seemed that there was nothing else that could be done except to occupy the city and defend it.
"This Qian Qianyi is just like a pig. He started in the Qing Dynasty and always slaughtered the people and expelled the refugees... It would be better for him to do the opposite and take the initiative to recruit the gentry and bring these people under his rule. Now he can
It’s lively.”
Tan Deyu laughed loudly. He, who was always serious, kept laughing and never stopped.
Song Lian also laughed, "In the past, I was still thinking about how to conquer the city, but now I have figured it out. Let's drive away the wealthy gentry and the lackeys of the Qing government, let them flood into the city and overwhelm the Qing government, and then we can easily gain it.
Guys, tell me, what is this strategy?"
He looked around and saw that everyone present had no idea. Finally he looked at Zhu Yiyuan.
"Qianshi, how about you give me a name?"
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "The Qing court used it. The old slave's name was translated into Chinese as wild boar skin. Now Qian Qianyi is using this trick in reverse. How about calling it the stupid pig tactic?"
"Stupid pig tactics?"
The guys immediately slapped their thighs and laughed heartily. Song Lian praised: "Appropriate, appropriate! Qian Qianyi was a scholar leader in vain. He surrendered to the enemy and took the lead in shaving his head. He is as stupid as a pig! The Qing government sent this thing
Come here, you are really helping us!"
Zhu Yiyuan also smiled and said: "Indeed, a God-given opportunity...Commander Tan, how many soldiers have you arranged to besiege Sishui County now?"
"One thousand households." Tan Deyu said simply: "Zhu Qianshi thinks it's not enough?"
Zhu Yiyuan said: "It's not that it's not enough, it's that we have five thousand households and so many militiamen. I think we can't be idle. We must take this opportunity to train our troops and let everyone take turns to go outside Sishui City.
Rotation training. It’s rare to see such an exercise that is so close to actual combat, and it just perfects our soldiers.”
This idea has been completely eliminated. Zhu Yiyuan has the framework of troops and horses, and has fought two big battles, but the victory was a bit lucky, and the real combat effectiveness is still lacking...
Since the opportunity is right in front of us, how can we let it go... From this day on, Sishui County has become a training point for the rebel army.
The gentry and common people in Surabaya City can also be lucky enough to lead the teaching army.
Wearing red buns on their heads and carrying red flags, they numbered one to two hundred, or three to five hundred people, and walked around outside Surabaya City.
At first the rebels were five or six hundred paces away, but gradually they came within two hundred paces, and the slogans they shouted could be heard clearly.
"Expel the Huru and restore China!"
These eight words are like a demonic sound. The thieves are so brave. This is the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and we are all loyal and good people of the Qing Dynasty.
Faced with the output of the cavalry, the county magistrate Yang Zhen was so angry that she gritted her teeth and called the soldiers and horses in the city to go to the city together, preparing to go out and kill for a while.
"Even if we can't repel the thieves, we still have to give them a try. Especially when we have to transport food and grass in. Otherwise, how can we support so many people in the city?"
Although Yang Zhen was a scholar, she still found a sword and went to the top of the city with murderous intent.
Other officials in the city also came up. When they looked outside, they suddenly felt bad.
It turned out that the rebels outside the city were practicing siege. Among the rebels, gunmen rushed out first. They fired at a wall made of wooden planks, followed by archers to further suppress it.
Immediately after the firecrackers and bows and arrows were fired, civilians rushed over carrying sand on their backs to fill up the trenches and moats. After that, the rebel soldiers carried ladders and came towards the temporary wooden wall. Everyone surrounded the city, and the whole
The exercise is over.
Anyone can see that this is a practice attack on Sishui County.
"Master Magistrate, the thieves advance and retreat in the right way. They cooperate tacitly and are extremely fast... However, even the soldiers and horses in the city are not as good as they are!" The thousands of households in charge of the army in the city had a sad face and told Yang Zhen the truth.
.
It's so ironic that the dignified officers and soldiers are not as formal as the thieves!
My old face was swollen.
But what was even more outrageous was what was to come. Just below Surabaya City, a rebel leader stood up and cursed at the soldiers participating in the drill.
He also called out several people and asked them to stand in a row.
"You are slow in your actions and have no cooperation... If this is a real attack on the city, you may die. Do you also want to come here standing and go back lying down? Practice hard for me! No one is allowed to slack off."
The comments and comments reached all the way to Surabaya City.
Not only the magistrate, but also the gentry who fled in, their expressions are particularly strange at this moment... We are so blatantly practicing how to attack the city and sharpening our knives in front of you. What do you think we are?
Chickens and ducks waiting to be slaughtered?
"Lord, please get out, we can't let the thieves underestimate us!"
"Yeah, don't let your morale drop."
When Yang Zhen was hesitating, another rebel army appeared in the dust in the distance. They rushed over and not only came, they also brought pancakes and steamed buns.
All the soldiers who participated in the drill received the food, and then sat under the city, eating with big mouthfuls... The steamed buns were as big as a fist, and they tasted delicious when you bite them in one bite!
There are also green onions rolled into pancakes, which smell delicious just by looking at them.
Unknowingly, many people in the city had already swallowed their saliva.
Especially for ordinary soldiers, their food is not good in ordinary times. Now thousands of people are crowded into the city and they are short of food. What they eat is even worse than pigs.
With food like this, how can it compare with food outside the city?
At this time, a young man rushed out from among the rebels. It was Luo Yi. He rode a hundred steps away and shouted loudly.
"Listen, people in the city, you have no way out. That traitor Qian Qianyi is just deceiving you. He has no troops to send. If you don't want to starve to death, come out and surrender as soon as possible. Otherwise, when we come in, we will give you everything you need."
Not a single one of the hawks and dogs working in the Qing court will be left behind!"
After finishing speaking, Luo Yi didn't give up and actually ran a large circle around the county seat, shouting while running, which perfectly explained what it means to be arrogant and domineering.
I'm just dragging you like this, what can you do?
With a smile on his face, Zhu Yiyuan walked through every thousand households. Through the rapid march, he observed the status of the soldiers, solved the problems that arose, and went through the training.
Although it hasn't been long, there are definitely signs of transformation.
I really need to be grateful to Qian Qianyi, otherwise there would be no such a good training opportunity.
Zhu Yiyuan decided to increase his efforts and continued to arrange for the rebels to train around Surabaya to intimidate the people in the city so that they did not dare to come out.
At the same time, we arranged for people from the agricultural cooperative to contact local farmers in Sishui County to gain support.
Not long ago, the land rent operation launched by Zhu Yiyuan, the landowner Kongfu, is still going on. Many villages have actually not paid the rent and have been delaying it.
After Zhu Yiyuan entered Surabaya, these common people had a backbone and came to express their condolences. They brought all kinds of food, which must be purchased at market price according to Zhu Yiyuan's instructions.
At once attracting more people to trade.
The outside of the city is lively and bustling, but the city is desolate and desolate.
With a city wall blocking the way, the price of food has dropped by more than ten times.
How can I live like this?
The group of poor scholars who came to the city a few days ago got together. They thought Zhu Yiyuan would not grow up and wanted to escape and join the governor.
As a result, we were surrounded in the county town and couldn't get out.
"The twenty taels of silver I brought have been spent, and I will run out of food tomorrow."
Another scholar said bitterly: "I carried a bag of food, but I couldn't find a place to live. I slept in the Chenghuang Temple. When I woke up in the morning, the food was stolen."
There was another scholar who was even worse, "I came to seek refuge with my uncle, but they refused to accept me... People are cold and warm, and the world is hot and cold. Although Zhu Thief is not good, he still has the heart to love the people, and he is just an irrelevant old woman."
, will also patiently persuade me. In the past, I thought this person was hypocritical and pretentious, but now, now I am looking forward to having such a hypocritical and pretentious person!"
…
The dozen or so scholars became more and more angry as they chatted. Finally, a little man suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, how about we vote for Zhu?" This chapter has been completed!
