Zhu Yiyuan and Xie Qian explained clearly, so they hurriedly said goodbye and returned to Qingshiji, but they didn't notice that as soon as he left, Xie Qian called Father Zhu over. Why doesn't your son want to work for me because he is always tinkering with his own things?

"Lord Zhu, I am sincere to your father and son, when Zichuan City is broken, you will inherit the throne of King Lu, Zhu Gongzi is also the son of King Lu, I Xie Qian is a man who counts."

Father Zhu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Leader Xie, our father and son will never dare to live up to the leader's love." ”

Father Zhu felt bitter in his heart, he didn't know how long he could fool him, in case Xie Qian turned his face, it would be dangerous.

Zhu Yiyuan also knew it, so he seized the time to strengthen his strength, after all, his father was still in Xie Qian's hands.

About after the capture of Zichuan, things will be clear.

Zhu Yiyuan was under a lot of pressure, and as soon as he returned to Qingshiji, someone came to greet him.

"Master Zhu, there is a guest at your house."

Zhu Yiyuan was taken aback, guest?

It's not that the Zhu family has no relatives, but at such a time, who will have nothing to do with relatives?

Who is it that makes it so different?

Zhu Yiyuan hurriedly entered the house and arrived in the living room, where there were three people sitting inside, one was an old lady, and the other two were dressed as monks.

Zhu Yiyuan was stunned, "Who are these two masters?" ”

Mother Ye smiled and said, "What master, this is your uncle." ”

As she spoke, she pulled up a young monk and came to Zhu Yiyuan, who looked less than thirty, gentle and elegant, between his eyebrows and eyes, he was really a little similar to Zhu Yiyuan, and at first glance he was his own uncle, his name was Ye Tinglan.

"Okay, listen to the eldest sister, it's not easy for you to pull up a team of hundreds of people."

Zhu Yiyuan thought hard, it seems that he had only seen two sides when he was a child, and he had not seen each other in the past ten years.

"Since my uncle is here, I'll prepare some wine and food, and wash the dust." Zhu Yiyuan wanted to slip away, but how did he know that the old lady grabbed him.

"Zhang Luo's food is my business, talk to your uncle, he has something to do with you."

As she spoke, the old lady pressed Zhu Yiyuan on the chair, and she turned around and went down.

This time, Zhu Yiyuan couldn't run if he wanted to, so he could only sit down.

Ye Tinglan looked at him for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "Big nephew, what are your plans for pulling up the team?" Do you want to resist the Qing Dynasty, or do you? ”

Zhu Yiyuan knew that this was what the old lady told him, and he didn't hide it, so he simply said: "What I want to do now is self-preservation, as for resisting the Qing Dynasty, there are still some forces that have not been caught, and we still need to strengthen the team." Build high walls and accumulate grain. ”

Ye Tinglan said with a smile: "This is indeed the only way for Emperor Taizu to seize the world...... It's just that I want to ask my eldest nephew, do you know the situation in Shandong? Do you know how many rebels there are? ”

Zhu Yiyuan was shocked, of course he wanted to know, but it had only been a few days, and he didn't have time to inquire at all.

"I only know that there are a lot of rebels in various places, but the specific situation is not clear."

Ye Tinglan nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to you." ”

Saying that, Ye Tinglan told Zhu Yiyuan that the first thing was King Ji, who raised troops last year.

This King of Ji is also a member of the Zhu Ming clan, and his identity is similar to Zhu Yiyuan, he calls himself King Ji, and he raised an incident in Dezhou, once conquering more than 40 counties.

In the end, it unfortunately failed, but the old department of King Ji still existed, and he was still fighting with the Qing court.

In addition, there are Zhang Guang, a native of Weixian, Yang Wei, the deputy general of the Ming Dynasty in Laizhou, and Zhao Yingyuan, the old department of King Chuang...... They all raised their troops back and forth, some failed, and some were still fighting and refused to surrender.

It is especially worth mentioning that in Cao County, there are still hundreds of thousands of Yuyuan rebels, and they are all rare loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, and there are many people, which is very rare.

Zhu Yiyuan listened to his uncle's introduction silently, to be honest, he didn't know much about the Shandong Righteous Army in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The reason why Xie Qian became famous was because he killed the traitor Sun Zhiqi, so he left his name for future generations.

can listen to my uncle say this, there are really a lot of righteous troops in the land of Shandong, and Zhu Yiyuan's spirit is inspired.

And Ye Tinglan's next introduction made Zhu Yiyuan even more dumbfounded.

This Yuyuan Rebel Army has existed since the Ming Dynasty, due to the continuous famine during the Wanli period, many people in Cao County fled, and their hometown became a red land.

As a result, a few years later, when the villagers returned, they found that in their hometown, the tenacious elm trees had spread their branches and leaves, and the elm money had taken root and grown a large dense elm forest.

For decades, this piece of Yulin stretches for hundreds of miles, running through Cao County.

Therefore, some people hid in the elm forest under the cover of the elm tree, and regarded the elm forest as a paradise.

Gradually, the number of people reached hundreds of thousands, forming a formidable force.

"These righteous people, they occupy Yuyuan, just to survive, not to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. After the Manchu Tartars went south, they were even more willing to give up their previous suspicions and work with the imperial court to expel Hu Lu, but it was a pity that the princes of Yingtian were busy with internal fighting, and the Shi Pavilion Department refused to send troops to Xuzhou, otherwise, how could there be a Yangzhou massacre! ”

Zhu Yiyuan was shocked, "Uncle, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”

Ye Tinglan smiled slightly, he turned his head to look at the other big monk, this one has not spoken, his biggest feature is two huge ears, white and big, really a bit of a Buddha.

"The eldest nephew, this Mr. Yan Ermei, once led 7,000 soldiers and horses to Yangzhou, met with the Shi Pavilion Department, and offered advice like him."

Zhu Yiyuan was even more surprised, "Have you seen the Shi Pavilion Department?" ”

Yan Ermei nodded, "Last year, I scattered all my family wealth and recruited seven thousand villagers to go to Yangzhou to help in the war. I once suggested to the Shi Gebu that I take the initiative to capture Xuzhou, as long as I occupy Xuzhou, I can contact the Yuyuan Rebels, and then seek Shandong together, which is enough to resist the Qing court and recover the Central Plains. However, if the Shi Pavilion Department didn't listen, I was powerless to go back. ”

Zhu Yiyuan thought a little, if it was really according to Yan Ermei's idea, at least the Hongguang Imperial Court would have one more line of defense, would the result be different?

Zhu Yiyuan shook his head slightly, "Even if the Shi Pavilion Department is a good minister, it is also powerless to hinder it in many ways. ”

Hearing Zhu Yiyuan say this, Yan Ermei cheered up, "Although I have not followed the Shi Pavilion Department for a long time, the southern princes are addicted to infighting, regardless of the importance and ignorance of the overall situation, and they are all ministers of the dead country. I was ashamed to be with them, so I decided to return to my hometown in Pei County, recruit heroes, and deal with the Qing court. ”

Runshan?

Ye Tinglan hurriedly explained, "This Mr. Runshan, named Ye Tingxiu, is my cousin. When I met Mr. Yan, I was ready to contribute to the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty. We wanted to contact the rebels in various places to find out the situation. A few days ago, I heard that someone killed Zhang Zhifa's nephew Manmen, so I came to check, walked halfway, and remembered the eldest sister, so I came to take a look, I really didn't expect that if I could enter the Zhang family, I would have the credit of the eldest nephew. ”

Only then did Zhu Yiyuan understand the cause and effect, but he didn't expect that his own uncle would also join the fight against the Qing Dynasty, and the Mr. Yan he brought with him had even seen Shi Kefa.

Zhu Yiyuan suddenly had a feeling that he had found an organization, and he frowned slightly, "Speaking of the Yuyuan Righteous Army, how did they deal with the Qing Army?" Is it just sheltered by the elm forest? Zhu Yiyuan inquired about the experience for the first time.

Yan Ermei sighed: "Brother Yuyuan Rebels, it is indeed good. They dug tunnels under Yuyuan for hundreds of miles. The Tartars came, hid in them, and then took them by surprise and attacked the Tartars' weak points. There are hundreds of miles of elm forests in the Yuyuan, and the cavalry of the Tartars cannot be used, and there are the weaknesses of the Tartars who are haunted by the ghosts. If the Shi Pavilion Department can go north to Xuzhou and join forces with the Yuyuan Righteous Army, why would Yangzhou suffer, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians would be killed! ”

When Zhu Yiyuan heard this, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

There are only three words left in my head: tunnel warfare!

In Cao County, Shandong, there are hundreds of miles of elm forests, and under the elm forests, there are tunnels that stretch for hundreds of miles.

Nearly a million soldiers and civilians are active in it, taking advantage of the geographical advantages to resist the Qing army!

If it is true, it can really be ashamed of the princes of heaven.

Yan Ermei naturally didn't lie, this Yuyuan rebel army held out until the eighth year of Shunzhi, much longer than Hongguang and Longwu combined.

And the Qing army was helpless for a while, but thanks to the talented Hou Fangyu, he gave the Qing court governor an idea, dug the river embankment, and flooded the tunnel of the Yuyuan rebel army, which completely wiped out this tenacious anti-Qing force.

After Zhu Yiyuan carefully inquired and confirmed the truth, the whole person fell into silence for a long time.

Who said that when the Qing army entered the customs, the people of the Central Plains surrendered?

In the land of Qilu alone, there are dozens of famous rebel armies. There are children of the clan, old generals of the Ming Dynasty, subordinates of Li Zicheng, students, ordinary people, and even bandits and grass robbers.

At this critical juncture of life and death, he stepped forward and sacrificed his life to the country.

They have not only courage, but also wisdom.

Do you dare to believe that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, they actually developed a way of fighting tunnel warfare.

This news is absolutely subversive for Zhu Yiyuan.

He finally dispelled the last trace of doubt and strengthened his thoughts.

He thought about whether to develop some men first, and then run south and take refuge in Nanming.

However, Nanming's group of insects are incurable, in a word, compared to them, Wanyan Gou can be regarded as wise and powerful.

If you go by yourself, you will probably have a dead end, and if you are lucky, you will escape overseas and survive.

Zhu Yiyuan's real idea was to stay behind enemy lines in Shandong, gather the hearts of the people, and deal with the Qing court. After all, he had served in the barracks for several years in his previous life, and the guerrilla tactics of his predecessors were well familiar.

But Zhu Yiyuan still has the biggest doubt, that is, can the common people in the late Ming Dynasty really be organized?

He was worried, and he never dared to find out with the villagers.

But when he heard the news of the Yuyuan Rebels, Zhu Yiyuan no longer hesitated.

Because he realized that perhaps the Yuyuan Rebels were defeated by the Qing army in the end, but their efforts were not in vain. Three hundred years later, the people of the Central Plains once again picked up the methods of the Yuyuan Righteous Army, and carried it forward to deal with more vicious enemies.

That time, they really won!

This is the wealth left by the ancestors to future generations, and the struggle at this moment is not meaningless.

"Uncle, and Mr. Yan, can you bother you, tell the villagers of Qingshiji, just talk about the methods of the Yuyuan Righteous Army, we need these valuable experiences too much." Zhu Yiyuan pleaded.
