The 10,000 Zhu family troops led by Zhu Zilong were very strangely immobile in the past few days after learning the news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then, a week later, it suddenly turned back to Shandong. Of course, it's slow!

It is very strange that the marching speed of the Zhu family's army suddenly became very slow. Li Jiucheng's army has become as fast as the wind and fire!

They know that they don't have a stable position, they must get out of the unfamiliar area before the court reacts, speed is the most important link, the rebellion is a fact, and they must run away if they have enough.

Then find a place to defend for a while and wait for Zhao'an.

Recently, however, they have tasted the sweetness of attacking the city, and instead of wasting time along the way, they have rushed straight to the next city.

Quick wins!

A few days later, they first broke Linyi, then broke the Shanghe, on the xxth day of the first month of December, divided the troops to break Deping, and then broke the Qingcheng after joining forces again.

Well, it's not that they're too strong, it's the armies in other parts of the Ming Dynasty that are really too bad, alas!

Along the way, the small county towns have not experienced war for a long time, there is no war preparation at all, and there is no strong garrison in the city, and Li Jiucheng's troops came quickly, basically they all went to the city with a drum, and then attacked and entered the city to rob.

The documents asking for help from various counties were sent to the Shandong Governor's Office like snowflakes, and Yu Dacheng's wish was disappointed.

Seeing that Li Jiucheng's troops have captured more and more cities, if he doesn't do something, it will be a matter of time before he loses his position, and maybe he will be killed afterwards. Don't be afraid anymore at the moment, and immediately order the standard camp to set off to suppress!

A document came from the Ministry of War, which also asked Zhu Jiajun and Yu Dacheng to cooperate with each other to eliminate the rebellious army.

But, obviously, it will take time.

At this time, Li Jiucheng's subordinates continued to march forward, and the looted property was enough to transport hundreds or nearly thousands of vehicles just by car.

When the news of the rebellious army came back to Sun Yuanhua, everyone was no longer optimistic about the future of Lord Sun, after all, this rebellious army was originally managed by him.

Sun Yuanhua sat in the second hall dejectedly, out of a self-protective mentality, ten days ago, he resolutely refused to admit that Li Jiucheng was a rebellious army. But in the face of hard facts, his insistence was quickly shattered.

At this moment, Sun Yuanhua seems to have aged ten years in a few days, even if he still pretends to be confident in front of people, but he is already tired and tired in his heart.

Judging from the news sent from various places, the losses caused by the rebel army were very serious, and it also affected the overall strategy of the imperial court to rescue the Daling River.

After half a ring, Sun Yuanhua sighed and muttered to himself, finally giving up most of his luck.

"That's it, since you can't do anything, why not resign from your official position in advance, so as not to cause a deeper disaster afterwards. Leave this useful body to guide the world on the way home, this red dust and glitz, after all, is just a passing cloud. Alas! ”

As a Catholic, Sun Yuanhua seems to have started to devote himself to seclusion and mission.

Power can give him the satisfaction of entering the world, but at this time, he yearns to be a simple priest, and has an attitude of seeing through the red dust.

A week later.

Yu Dacheng's standard battalion marched behind the chaotic army, and as the strongest battalion in Shandong Province, they were actually only a little better than the Weisuo army.

However, now in Shandong, the standard camp can barely fight.

Zhu Jiajun belongs to the head of the navy of the naval division, as well as Xiang Yong, and is also part-time by the Jinyi Wei system, so it cannot be completely regarded as the army of Shandong.

At present, the leader of this standard battalion is Shen Tingyu, a staff general of the middle battalion, as an old-school general who is afraid of sticking to the death, he does not contribute to his work. Slowly marching behind, in fact, he didn't dare to fight against Li Jiucheng's chaotic army.

One is that the number of people is not as good as the chaotic army, and the other is that he still wants to keep a little family background and is selfish.

And the strange slow march of the Zhu family army these days is due to the plan after Zhu Zilong and his henchmen discussed.

What is the plan?

Hehe, borrowing a knife to kill people also.

In addition to the princes of Shandong and the Confucian Sage's Mansion, the third major disobedient force is the powerful landlord armed forces in Shandong. Now the rebel army is in front like locusts crossing the border, and they will rob when they cross the county, and it is these people who resist the most.

Even if the poor people have losses, they are not as good as these big families, and they are not very likely to die. At most, some damage!

At present, the most people who died were the landlord armed forces who dared to resist, and it was these big Shandong families who killed the whole family on the spot. Then Li Jiucheng grabbed the property and took it all the way.

So much so that their march slowed down!

Isn't this very good in Zhu Zilong's opinion? There is no need to make a name for themselves, and the landlords and armed forces in these places who are not very obedient will be scattered after being robbed and killed by the rebels.

Then many large families were also wiped out, and the ownerless fields suddenly increased by nnn times.

Wait until the rebel army in front of you is fattened like pigs, and then go up and slaughter them yourself. robbed them of other people's property, not only did the money belong to their own Zhu family, but they also lost a good reputation, killing two birds with one stone.

Why not?

Usually, if you want to find such a powerful slaughter team and black pot people, you really can't find a suitable one.

Therefore, Zhu Youjun, led by Zhu Zilong, not only marched slowly, but also inquired about information and intelligence from time to time, and tried not to contact them.

Borrow a knife to kill people, make a wedding dress for yourself, and you can't kill it in advance before fattening.

Well, if you want to say, the only thing that makes my heart a little unbearable and fluctuating.

I'm afraid it's a little uncomfortable to see hundreds of people crying and screaming about the loss of their belongings and the loss of their daughters in the empty counties.

However, Zhu Zilong, who has killed countless people and learned to know how to achieve great things, has to take this kind of intolerance to heart.

The only thing he can do now is to try his best to give the people who have lost their wealth a stutter, and wait for the chaos to end. When the time comes, he will give out the ownerless fields to compensate these people.

So, along the way.

In every empty county, there will be a Zhujiazhuang logistics department, and there will be a few soup kitchens in the station.

The refugees can have a bite to eat so that they will not starve to death in this weather.

Today, Zhu Zilong led the team to follow the chaotic army again and came to an empty county town.

Soon, dozens of soldiers of the Zhu family army set up cauldrons and boiled porridge under several simple shacks, and as soon as the aroma came out, some refugees who were still here immediately surrounded them.

I saw that the personnel of the logistics department of the Zhu family army asked the refugees to line up in a soft tone, and shouted to the people around them as they walked: "Don't crowd everyone, you all have porridge to drink, our lord said that even if you don't eat, you have to give the people a bite to eat." In any case, we must give everyone a way to live! ”

Similar words kept appearing at soup kitchens in various empty counties, and hundreds of people knelt on the ground every day and kowtowed to the military flag of the Zhu family army to thank them. Even some people began to put an immortal tablet with the words "Dragon Marquis of the Four Seas" at home, hoping that a good person like Zhu Zilong could live a long life.

Well, the people's ideological starting point is good.

However, Zhu Zilong, who knew the situation of the people, couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.

He is a half-dragon man, and if nothing else, he can live for at least a few hundred years without dying. The people wish him a long life and a hundred years old, isn't this tm urging me to die early?

Embarrassed, Khan!

A few more days passed like this, and soon after, Sun Yuanhua's proposal arrived.

It seems that he finally made an effort and wrote to the cabinet, hoping that Zhu Zilong and Yu Dacheng would be better off with Zhao'an as a policy, on the grounds that they would not continue to work hard and lose money. On the other hand, Zhu Zilong didn't hesitate, and after meeting with Yu Dacheng, he put forward the plan that he must continue to follow up and finally eliminate the rebellious army.

After hearing this, Yu Dacheng shook his head vigorously and persuaded: "Master Hou, Lord Sun sent another urgent letter yesterday, saying that he had sent people into the rebel camp, and the rebels had the intention of appeasing me, so I must not pursue it too much." Think again! ”

Zhu Zilong sneered and asked, "Do the rebels have the intention of appeasing?" Hehe, how to explain the county seat that was attacked yesterday? ”

Facing Zhu Zilong's sneer, Yu Dacheng, who was the number one in Shandong, felt a little uncomfortable, however, he also knew that Zhu Zilong was a celebrity in front of the emperor. So, he could only be polite, and he said again with a peaceful face: "Being able to appease is naturally appeasement, although the Zhu family army is not afraid of the rebels, but Li Jiucheng is also a strong soldier, and when he fights, he always wants to die, but it is not beautiful." ”

Zhu Zilong's eyes rose after hearing this, and he said in his heart: The chaotic army is a strong army, and it is obvious that your local army in Shandong is rotten, which is terrible.

The negotiation ended with an unhappy breakup between the two parties.
