Chapter 408: Establishing the Great Ming Kingdom

Pan Qiliang and Zhu Yuefeng, Cai Yongliang, Fan Dequan and others continued to lead the rest of the brothers to attack the Yamen of the Shenzhen Bureau, while Li Xianchi led a large group of brothers from the Xiaodao Society of Fu Jian to join the attacking team. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Shaoxi of the Jiaying Gang in Guangdong, Li Xianyun of the Xinghua Gang in Fujian, and others led their respective brothers from the Little Knife Society to jointly attack the Yamen of the Coastal Defense Administration.

The brave soldiers in the yamen have basically turned back: half of them have already joined the Little Knife Society, and the other half don't know where to find a red cloth, wrap it on their heads, and even smear chicken blood or human blood on the white cloth as a red scarf, wrap their heads and follow the real knife congregation to join the ranks of attacking the Yamen.

The remaining group of civil and military officials and officials in the yamen, when they saw that the general situation had gone early, had no heart to resist and only cared about hiding.

Except for a few loyal to the Manchu court, who committed suicide, the rest, whether civil officials or military generals, took off their official uniforms and fled outside the city in the crowd.

Soon, in just an hour or so, the rebel army of the Little Knife Society occupied the main yamen in Shanghai City, and then took control of the whole city.

Pan Qiliang and others had just occupied the north gate and ordered 200 brothers to stay at the north gate. As soon as Pan Qiliang wanted to see if there were any Qing troops left out in the city, two Bailong Party brothers who stayed in the yamen of the Provincial Administration came to report that the yamen of the Provincial Administration had really made a discovery.

They found that after Liu Lichuan and Wu Jianzhang had a secret conversation for half an hour, the brothers of the Little Knife Society discovered and seized 440,000 taels of silver stored in the treasury of the Provincial Department.

But the yamen of the Provincial Department was the first to be attacked by Pan Qiliang, and they also found the warehouse, but they only found more than 10,000 taels of silver, and they didn't find that there were so many 440,000 taels?

Moreover, the messenger who reported the news also brought shocking news: Wu Jianzhang was rescued from the city by several Qing soldiers pretending to be brothers of the Little Knife Society.

Pan Qiliang is angry! How is this possible? Wu Jianzhang was captured by his brothers and handed over to Liu Lichuan, but he ran away? And what Brother Fan said, Liu Lichuan and Wu Jianzhang are fellow villagers in Xiangshan, and the relationship is very good, Pan Qiliang definitely has reason to believe that Wu Jianzhang was deliberately fired by Liu Lichuan. Obviously, they must have discussed it when they were spying, and they didn't know what deal they made.

Fan Dequan on the side said: "This is too blatant, right?" Needless to say, Wu Jianzhang must have gone to hide in the foreigner's concession. Big boss, what to do? ”

"Send some people to keep an eye on the concession, and as soon as the dog official comes out, arrest him!" Brothers, follow Lao Tzu to find him Liu Lichuan! Pan Qiliang threw the spear in his hand and strode forward.

When Pan Qiliang arrived, the leaders of the rest of the rebel army also came to the yamen of the Provincial Bureau.

When Liu Lichuan saw the leaders, he hurriedly admitted his mistake and apologized: "Brothers, Lichuan can't help it." Especially Brother Liang, alas, my brother can't stand you, my brother's brothers didn't notice it for a while, and they actually let the Qing soldiers pretend to be my brothers, and robbed the old thief Wu. Wake up brother, if you want to beat or scold, brother is up to you! ”

Saying this, all the leaders comforted: "The big boss has killed the younger brother." This is also something that is unexpected. ”

Seeing Liu Lichuan's self-blaming appearance, Pan Qiliang opened his mouth, and he couldn't say anything to blame. Only his subordinate Chen Alin muttered, "Who knows? Was it robbed by the Qing soldiers, or did they send it away themselves? The next time I caught it, I cut off my head directly to save trouble. ”

Liu Lichuan didn't seem to hear Chen Alin's complaints, and said to himself: "Since the brothers don't blame the elder brother, then the elder brother will start to get down to business!" ”,

Although Liu Lichuan is thin and pale, he has a little light kung fu, and with a slight jump, he stepped on the back of the stone lion in the Yamen compound, and said loudly: "Today, there are thousands of descendants of the former Ming Dynasty, adhering to the purpose of my Xiaodao Society's "anti-Qing and Ming restoration", occupy Shanghi City, and establish the 'Great Ming Kingdom'!" ”

This is to restore the country for the former Ming Dynasty! They were all members of the Heaven and Earth Society, and they all exclaimed: "Da Ming Kingdom! King Daming! Da Ming Kingdom! King Daming! ”

Liu Lichuan's pale face also had a little red, and he shook his head: "Don't joke, how dare my brother claim the king indiscriminately?" ”

Then he solemnly announced: "Today, I, Liu Lichuan, as the generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty's political and religious recruitment, have appointed Li Xianchi brothers as the governor of Pinghu. Feng Chen Alin brothers as Marshal Zuo, Prime Minister of the Ming State Military Affairs; Feng Pan Qiliang's brother was the right marshal, and he also served as the Shanghai County Affairs; Chen Zhibo is the deputy marshal of nursing, Xu Weiren is the staff officer, and the two of them are the prime minister's finances. ”

"Fan Dequan is the general of the Flying Tiger, Xu Yao is the general of Changsheng, Cai Yongliang is the general of sweeping the north, Zhang Hanbin is the general of Zhengdong, Zhu Yuefeng is the general of Zhengnan, Zhou Xiuying is the general of Zhengyin, Fan Deshui is the general of Pingzhong, Liu Hai, Zeng Qi, and Wu Jin are generals. Li Shaoxi is in charge of all military aircraft, Li Shaoxuan is in charge of the general government in order to prepare for the big military affairs, Xie Jingxuan is the general military affairs, Shen Guohua is the counselor, Xu Xingyi is the counselor of the battalion, Chen Xiaohu is the counselor, Wu Lantai is the staff officer, Shen Jiming is the preparation of food affairs, Cao Zifang is the preparation of ordnance, Pan Qingquan is the guerrilla, Xia Zuwang is the head of the preparation and defense bureau, Chen Aming, Lin Azhou, Liu Jin and others are the pioneers, and Xiao Kui is the ...... of the Tai Hospital."

sprinkled with joy, a series of rewards and official positions, and everyone was stunned when they heard it. However, then, it was a great joy!

Who doesn't want to be a big official and glorify their ancestors? Although everyone is not optimistic about this "Daming Kingdom" and will not be able to do the work of the dragon, but when the time comes, whether it is to the south or the north to seek refuge in the Holy Kingdom or to the Heavenly Kingdom, there will be a wealth and prosperity.

So, everyone shouted in unison: "Follow the orders of the Generalissimo!" Long live the Ming Kingdom! ”

Feng Guan made a wish, no one didn't like it, and now even Chen Alin didn't say anything, and directly acquiesced. Pan Qiliang also forgot to question Wu Jianzhang, and everyone was immersed in the prestigious official position of the Ming Kingdom.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Lichuan and Li Xianchi issued a notice on behalf of the Ming Kingdom, first scolding the corrupt and tyrannical crimes of the Manchu Qing government: corrupt officials and corrupt officials, all over the city, cheap and shameful, tyrannical expropriation, selling official beards, jackals in power, exploiting the people's fat and people's cream, and the government is like a thief.

Secondly, he also informed the people of the city that the purpose of the uprising was to exterminate the corrupt officials and eliminate the brutality.

Finally, in the notice, the soldiers and people of the righteous army in the city were required to protect the normal social order, and the peasants, businessmen, and industry and commerce should be safe and normal.

And in the notice, he preached that the rebel army had the principle of "four beheadings": "Those who do not obey orders will be beheaded, those who will be ** women will be beheaded, those who plunder property will be beheaded, and those who steal pigs and dogs will be beheaded", so that the people in the city can rest assured.

When this propaganda was announced, many people in the city immediately asked to join the rebel army and oppose the Qing Dynasty together. By the next day, more than 1,000 new people had joined the rebels.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Lichuan led the rebel army to attack the Jianghaiguan located on the riverside tidal flats and seized many firearms hidden there. Pan Qiliang and Chen Alin also led the rebels to raid the pawnshop, ordered the wealthy households in the city to donate silver taels, and at the same time protected the merchants and people, sent people to maintain order, and punished the thieves who took the opportunity to rob on the spot.

Fan Dequan assisted Pan Qiliang in managing the affairs of the city, restraining the rebel army to be disciplined, not to take property, and not to disturb the people.

At the same time, Zhou Lichun held an anti-grain uprising in Jiading, and soon occupied the county seat of Jiading.

On the third day, Zhou Lichun sent his daughter Zhou Xiuying and the general Xu Yao to lead 4,000 rebel troops from Jiading and Qingpu to Shanghai.

At this time, there were nearly eight or nine thousand soldiers of the rebel army in Shanghai City.

Fan Dequan instigated Pan Qiliang to suggest attacking the surrounding counties and expanding the territory of the Ming Kingdom.

Liu Lichuan ordered that he himself sit in Shanghai City, and the other troops were divided into two routes to attack the surrounding counties at the same time.

Li Xianchi, the governor of Pinghu, Chen Alin, the left marshal, and Pan Qiliang, the right marshal, each led a total of 4,000 brothers under his command, sent troops from Shanghi to attack Baoshan, Chuansha, Nanhui, Fengxian and other places; Zhou Lichun led the Jiayi army, together with Zhou Xiuying and General Xu Yao, who supported Shanghai, to attack Qingpu and Huating.

At this time, in Songjiang Mansion, the Qing soldiers had completely escaped. Therefore, soon, in less than ten days, the Xiaodaohui rebels occupied six county towns in Songjiang Prefecture in addition to Jinshan County, as well as Baoshan and Jiading counties under Taicang Zhili Prefecture.

The news of the uprising of the Shanghi Knife Society spread quickly. Affected by this, there began to be a commotion in various parts of Suzhou Prefecture, and sent a message to the Shanghi Little Knife Society, inviting the Little Knife Society to go to Suzhou and join them in attacking Suzhou City.

He Lichuan and the other leaders of the Little Knife Society were overjoyed when they saw that the congregation of Suzhou Heaven and Earth had the intention of defecting. He Lichuan was not ambitious, but he understood that although he still had to choose between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Holy Kingdom in the end, he would get completely different treatment after occupying a county and a prefecture.
