They didn't come out, but it didn't mean that they didn't act, and they all secretly began to recruit clansmen and tribesmen, but only for self-defense.

These people have been like this for thousands of years. I just want to protect myself, and I don't want to choose a side. It doesn't matter who wins, they're still them.

Wang Fuqian also learned from the experience of his time in Fengshan County, and tried to win people's hearts with activities such as repairing the Temple of Literature and worshiping Confucius, but even if the squires and eunuchs in these places asked for money, they would give it, but they were unwilling to leave their names on the stone for repairing the Confucian Temple.

These traditional clan forces, which have lasted for an unknown number of generations in the Fujian countryside, are much older than those immigrant landlord families that have pioneered and developed in Taiwanese society. After all, Qianlong had to admit that Confucius was the most holy teacher and Confucianism was a holy religion, but they would not list their names with the names of the presiding bandits, so as to avoid the suspicion of thieves.

With Wang Fuqian's Taoism, there is really no way to take these hob meat now.

But at this time in Guangdong, there was a person who was far more spicy than Wang Fuqian, who played with the landlords of Guangdong and applauded.

This person's name is Zhu Qi, the new governor of Liangguang, Changlin was transferred from Liangguang to Fujian, Zhejiang and Chawulana corruption case, he succeeded Changlin as the governor of Liangguang.

Zhu Jue has only been in office in Guangdong for a year, and he has already obeyed the training in Guangdong, but this bit of officialdom is not a real skill, because Zhu Jue's status is transcendent, and his prestige is unparalleled, even if he is a rebellious Guangzhou general, customs supervisor and other Manchurian magnates, he has to bow his head in front of him, because he is Jiaqing's teacher, and Jiaqing has completed the most scribbled enthronement ceremony in history at the beginning of the year and became the new emperor.

Although we all know that Jiaqing is still not the master, and there is a emperor above, but Qianlong is eighty-six years old, and he may die at any time.

After Zhu Jue tamed the Guangdong officialdom, it coincided with Zhou Lang's attack on Fujian, and before Qianlong received the news and sent his will, he had already begun to contact the local wealthy families in Guangdong, especially the Chaoshan region near Fujian, which was the most important thing.

After the decree was issued, the army in Guangdong had not yet been mobilized, but this batch of regimental training could already be used, and Zhu Qi immediately asked these landlord regiments to train and defend important places in the border areas of Fujian and Guangdong, strictly guarding against them, and preventing the Fujian Province bandits from infiltrating Guangdong. Of course, Zhou Lang was not in a hurry to expand, but Zhu Jue's move still had an effect, because he even prevented the bandits and avoided the harassment of the bandits in Guangdong.

In contrast, some of the bandits who fled to Jiangxi under the blow of Zhou Lang caused serious turmoil in Jiangxi, and Chen Huai, the governor of Jiangxi, put out fires everywhere, but the fire became more and more vigorous.

Zhu Jue's actions in Guangdong attracted Zhou Lang's attention.

And Zhu Qi's actions soon challenged Zhou Lang's bottom line.

After stabilizing the border, some of Zhu Qi's scholars entered Tingzhou, Shanghang, Yongding and other places, contacted the local landlords, provided them with weapons and armor, and actively supported the local landlords to build up their arms. Although the area around Tingzhou, because it is connected with Guangdong, Zhou Lang gave up this place in the defense, but Zhu Qi's blatant infiltration still made him very dissatisfied. It seems that Zhu Ju does not plan to maintain a tacit understanding with Zhou Lang that the well water does not interfere with the river water, but he is planning to do something, and Zhou Lang decided to strike at it immediately.

In the original plan, Zhou Lang would attack the nearby Chaoshan from the Yunxiao area of Zhangzhou Prefecture, Chaoshan and Yunxiao are also geographically connected, belonging to the coastal plain of the lower reaches of the Hanjiang River, the terrain is also relatively independent, surrounded by mountains, and it is easy to hold Chaoshan. Moreover, through the Hanjiang River, it can be traced back to the Tingjiang River, and the Shanghang and Tingzhou areas can be completely incorporated into their own defense system.

The plan was executed, but Zhou Lang found that Chaoshan was not easy to fight. The landlord's armed forces for self-protection can't withstand the attack of Zhou Lang's elite soldiers, not to mention the landlord's village, even a big city like Guangzhou, and it is impossible to resist the bombardment of artillery for a long time, but the cannon can break the earthen wall, but it can't break the hearts of the people. These landlords were strong and strong, and under the impetus of the spirit of defending Sangzi, their will to resist was very tenacious. In addition, the people in the Chaoshan area have always been fierce, and many landlords' walled cities were able to reach the point of total annihilation.

Even if Zhou Lang can finally defeat the Chaoshan area, what is the use of killing all the people, and his current strength does not have the confidence to fight the landlords who carry them to the end. Therefore, Zhou Lang soon gave up the plan of direct attack, and instead used the geographical and cultural community of the Yunxiao region and the Chaoshan region as a whole, and invited the local scholars to also go to Chaoshan to contact the landlords, although he knew that it was impossible to win the support of these people, but he could convey goodwill to them, and there was still hope for them to remain neutral.

But Zhu Jue quickly cracked this method, he set up many passes in the border area, blocked all the traffic roads, not only blocked the trade between Chaoshan and Yunxiao, but also blocked the flow of people between the two places, but all the soldiers who tried to sneak across the pass were all arrested by Zhu Jue and directly beheaded.

Zhu Jue also implemented the system of protecting armor and sitting in the Chaoshan area, promulgated rewards and punishments, and firmly controlled the local clans.

In the same way, in the Tingzhou and Shanghang regions of Fujian, most of the landlords supported Zhu Lang with armed support, although they would not rise up to confront Zhou Lang, but they also adopted the method of blocking traffic and cutting off trade, so that Zhou Lang could not draw material resources from the rural society.

Zhu Qi actually used this method to successfully infiltrate the territory of Fujian, allowing Zhou Lang's forces to leave Longyan and Gutian, as if they had entered the enemy territory.

Zhou Lang understood at this time that Zhu Qi was planning to use the method of gradual encroachment step by step to recover the lost territory. made Zhou Lang can't help but think of Zeng Guofan.

What Zhou Lang didn't know was that this Zhu Jue was really on the same level as Zeng Guofan in the bureaucratic status of the Qing Dynasty, and he was given the nickname "Wenzheng" after his death, and Zeng Guofan finally got the nickname "Wenzheng", so later generations honored Zeng Wenzhenggong.

Wen is the highest title that Wenchen can get, in the entire history of the Qing Dynasty, there are a total of eight people who get this nickname, Zeng Guofan got it, but Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang and other famous ministers did not get it.

Zhu Jue's nickname was set by Jiaqing himself, not entirely because Zhu Jue taught Jiaqing, because there were many famous Confucians who taught Jiaqing since childhood, but only Zhu Jue had the greatest influence on Jiaqing, because Jiaqing learned some political wisdom from Zhu Jue that he could never learn when he studied in the palace.

In addition to teaching Jiaqing poems and songs, Zhu Qi mainly taught Jiaqing the statecraft, the art of the imperial ministers, the way to reassure the people, the gains and losses of success and failure, and lessons and lessons. In addition to these dignified learnings that have been passed down for thousands of years, the officialdom skills taught by Zhu Qi to Jiaqing have been of greater help to Jiaqing, and Jiaqing has been able to pass Qianlong's investigation for more than 20 years, and it is very difficult without Zhu Qi's teachings.

Zhu Jue taught Jiaqing the way of Taohui, not only to keep him low-key and docile in front of the emperor, but even to keep him humble in front of Heshen, so that Qianlong felt that Jiaqing was a weak and non-threatening prince who could be easily controlled by himself, so that his position could be stable.

When Zhu Jue was transferred to other places to be an official, he still left five proverbs for Jiaqing, "Cultivate your heart, respect yourself, be diligent, be humble and sincere." "Jiaqing is required to continue to strengthen self-cultivation and increase the city government. And Jiaqing also obeyed every word, even if Qianlong died in the future, after the pro-government, Jiaqing still tasted these five proverbs.

And even if Zhu Jue was an official in other places, he did not stop teaching Jiaqing, Jiaqing has always humbly asked for advice, has always kept a low profile, and Jiaqing, who easily does not associate with ministers, actually wrote 139 letters to Zhu Jue in the years when Zhu Jue was abroad. Through the exchange of letters, Zhu Jue continued to teach Jiaqing. Even this year, Qianlong gave way to Jiaqing, and Jiaqing ascended the throne, Zhu Jue still taught him in his letter to Taoguang and keep obscurity.

warned Jiaqing that the crown prince of the Kangxi Dynasty had a lesson of "reinventing the throne and reverting to the establishment", and asked Jiaqing to continue to serve the emperor Qianlong carefully. Even for Heshen, he still has to be humble everywhere and cautious in everything. Jiaqing did it, so after Qianlong's death, when Jiaqing cleaned up Heshen, Heshen didn't even prepare at all.

The two are thousands of miles apart, but one is carefully taught, the other is sincerely taught, and the relationship between the two is very unusual.

This relationship is likely to go beyond the ordinary teacher-student relationship, because Jiaqing has been a prince for more than 30 years, and he is a prince who has always been inspected by Qianlong's side, everyone knows that Jiaqing is at least one of the candidates for the prince, and in front of Qianlong, Jiaqing does not dare to show half of the emotions of ordinary children.

Although Zhu Jue's teaching time to Jiaqing is not long, it is very crucial, from the 40th year of Qianlong Zhu Jue was recruited into Beijing to teach bachelors to Qianlong's 44th year to be released to Fujian to study politics, but four years, but these four years are Jiaqing's 17 to 21-year-old adolescence, which is the critical period of character formation.

During this period, Zhu Jue got along with Jiaqing day and night, teaching day and day, and it is very likely that Jiaqing and Zhu Jue had some kind of father-son relationship that replaced the ruthless royal family.

In terms of teaching Jiaqing, Zhu Qi was extremely successful, not only successfully allowing Jiaqing to pass Qianlong's inspection, keep the position of the prince, and finally inherit the unification, but also continue to maintain the throne until Qianlong's death, and then pro-government.

In terms of being an official, Zhu Jue is also extremely successful, and he holds the important position of governor of Liangguang, which is very rare, and what is even more rare is that he did not obtain it through a powerful person like Pan He Shen, nor because of his background, he really relied on his own ability to do it.

And not only did he not cling to a powerful man like He Shen, but he also achieved the point where He Shen was afraid and jealous but helpless against him.
