Zhu Yiyuan looked up at the head of Xintai City and smiled slightly.

"This is the first county I've ever entered."

Outsiders are confused by this, but everyone around them knows it.

At present, Zhu Yiyuan's power has spread all over the three counties, but Zichuan County is considered to be defeated by Xie Qian, and although Laiwu is in Zhu Yiyuan's hands, the county seat is still there, and it is still nominally in the Qing Dynasty.

Only Xintai is the place where Zhu Yiyuan entered the city in a grand manner and wanted to completely grasp it.

This is already the scope of Zhu Yiyuan's planned Yimeng base area.

After entering the city, it is equivalent to erecting the banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty, and there is absolutely no second way to go with the Qing court.

"Mr. Xiao Song, would you like to go into the city with me?"

Song Lian was slightly stunned, and he suddenly found that Zhu Yiyuan stretched out his arm and smiled at him. Song Lian paused, and finally stretched out his arm and straddled Zhu Yiyuan.

Zhu Yiyuan has developed to the present, and the biggest problem is still talent.

Tan Qiye, Liu Bao, Luo Yi, although these are Zhu Yiyuan's villagers, they are 100% trustworthy, but their backgrounds are too low, only Qiye has some experience in the army.

This is not to say that they can't, many famous generals have risen from the lower levels, and the ghost knows that the group of cattle herders in Haozhou will be able to bury the Great Yuan Dynasty in a few decades.

No one could have imagined that a group of street in Pei County would be able to give the world's largest ethnic group a Chinese character in the future.

The turbulent times are turbulent, the opportunities are endless, the princes and generals are like each other, would you rather have a kind?

It's just that all this takes time to accumulate and needs to be sharpened by battles, and if you are lucky enough not to die, then there is a lot to be done...... If it's dead, I'm sorry, it's just nameless bones.

Zhu Yiyuan was stunned What he lacked was a literati who could help deal with government affairs, and although Zhang Lin was capable, he was a desperate person. The cell boss Jiang Qi has the habit of being a petty official, using him and guarding against him.

is the only one Song Lian, this guy is from a famous family, he is educated, and his character is also square.

Since he was taught a lesson by Wang Huan, his behavior has changed greatly, he is polite to ordinary soldiers, and he is also very polite to the people.

In addition, he helped Zhu Yiyuan draft a proclamation and crusade against the Confucian family, just like Zhu Yiyuan's courage.

Therefore, he is qualified to join hands with Zhu Yiyuan and enter Xintai County together.

Just after him, Zhu Yiyuan glanced at Liu Bao, "Old Liu, come over too." ”

Liu Bao was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand the meaning of this, but he also felt that it was extraordinary, and hurriedly ran over, and then Luo Yi, Huang Ying, and Wang Laoben came over one after another, and even the little guy Wang Huan grabbed Song Lian's other arm.

They looked at each other side by side, arm in arm, and both had a big smile on their faces.

"And Yu Dayou, you come over too!"

Zhu Yiyuan called Yu Dayou over and asked him to be with the big guy.

"Let's go, let's go into town!"

Zhu Yiyuan was in the center, striding forward, holding his head high, and walked out of the city, and everyone in the same row blushed, even Song Lian was very excited.

You sarcastically mock Zhu Yiyuan, whether it's buying people's hearts, or saying that he is coy.

But in the face of the first city to be taken down openly, Zhu Yiyuan did not ride a high-headed horse and entered the city with great might.

Instead, they chose to walk in with their soldiers, his assistants, and the ordinary people who helped him, shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm.

As for the gentry and officials, they could only follow behind.

The people of Xintai are looking at it, although they can't say it clearly, they know that this army of soldiers and horses is completely different from the previous goods.

Sure enough, the first decree announced by Zhu Yiyuan, according to the rules of Laiwu, this season's autumn grain does not need to pay land rent for the time being.

Immediately start the division of the field, equal to the acres of land, and then pay one or five fields, in addition, there is no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

When the news spread, the people of Xintai were stupid.

Is this true?

You don't have to pay the land rent, and you will pay the land back, and you will receive such a little land in the future?

It sounds like a dream, it can't be a lie, right?

"You fools, do you still suspect Zhu Gongzi?" Yu Dayou unceremoniously scolded these villagers, "Do you know? Zhu Gongzi took his subordinates and martial arts officials into the city together, but he only called me over, not Zhu Zhixian, nor did he call those landlords, do you know what it means? ”

The villagers stared wide-eyed, "Is there green smoke coming out of your old Yu's ancestral grave?" ”

"Phew!" Yu Dayou smacked the person who spoke, "Confused, Zhu Gongzi is really speaking for us poor, he takes us seriously, can he lie to us?" When people spit at the mouth, it's a nail. If you want to get acres of land and let your wife and children at home have enough to eat, just listen to Zhu Gongzi, understand? ”

These folks were stunned for a moment, and their eyes widened, and this good thing?

Old Yu, you didn't lie, did you?

"I lied that you are grandsons, and the virtues that I have accumulated in several lifetimes have been met by us, so go back and tell the villagers, don't miss it."

After a day's work, Yu Dayou had to say the same thing to more than a dozen groups of people, and in the end, he simply asked Zhu Yiyuan for an errand and went directly to various villages to publicize.

Zhu Yiyuan readily agreed, and sent him twenty veterans of Qingshiji to help preach.

said to be a veteran, in fact, it was only two months.

"From Zichuan to Laiwu, and then to Xintai, the land of three counties, three hundred miles in length and width, according to this momentum, in a few years, Shandong will fall into control, and it will be too late to wave troops to recover the capital!"

Song Lian smiled brightly, since the Qing army entered the customs, there are too many literati who are running and shouting, hoping to restore the rivers and mountains.

Unexpectedly, he was the first to see hope.

At this time, I am full of energy, and I can stay awake all night long.

Zhu Yiyuan smiled, "Mr. Xiao Song, we have to be optimistic, this is right." But we should also have a clear understanding. Although there are these three counties, the problems in any county are not small, and if one is not handled well, all the achievements will be wasted. ”

Zhu Yiyuan and Song Lian analyzed, the first is Zichuan County, which is the earliest place to start, but it is also the most problematic. First of all, it was Xie Qian who conquered Zichuan at the beginning, and he swept away a lot of food and salary, leaving not much for Zhu Yiyuan.

Secondly, Zichuan was too close to the official road, and both Jinan and Qingzhou had Qing court soldiers and horses.

If you want to control a few villages in Zichuan and keep some eyes and ears, it's no problem.

But once the Qing army came, Zichuan County would not be able to protect it no matter what.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yiyuan personally went south and entered Laiwu.

At that time, he had just entered Laiwu, with only 300 people, although Zhu Yiyuan took advantage of the anger of the people to force Yan Zibin to hand over everything, but the county seat was still there, and it was considered to have left a tail.

When he arrived in Xintai, although Zhu Yiyuan had entered the city, he had just arrived, and the most critical Juntian had just begun.

Moreover, Xintai is not far from Yanzhou, and it may also face a counterattack from the Qing court. Including those officials and gentry, they stood on Zhu Yiyuan's side because they couldn't stand the horse race, but if the Qing court changed its course, no one knows whether these people will become anti-bones.

There are three counties in name, but in fact none of them are reliable.

"Looking at it this way, the most important thing for us is to lay a solid foundation and clean up the hearts of the people." Song Lian said seriously.

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, but just as he was about to continue deeper, suddenly Wang Huan ran in and handed Zhu Yiyuan an official letter.

Zhu Yiyuan took it in his hand, looked at it slightly, and immediately changed his expression.

Song Lian was curious: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan didn't say anything, but handed him the official document.

Song Lian took it in his hand, and felt that something was wrong, this was an official document issued by the Qing court, and it was also given to Yan Zibin of Laiwu Zhi County. The content is that Fang Dayou asked how the bandits in Laiwu were, and he was ready to send 3,000 soldiers and horses to Laiwu to clear the bandits.

And asked Yan Zibin to prepare carefully and cooperate well.

Song Lian looked weird, he couldn't laugh if he wanted to, and he felt uncomfortable if he wanted to hold back, how unlucky should this group of Qing soldiers be?

Before he could go out, he was sold by his own people.

Yan Zibin is indeed a character, are you the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, or Zhu Yiyuan's doglegs?

"Zhu Gongzi, know yourself and your enemy, now that you have news, what are you worried about?"

Zhu Yiyuan couldn't help but sigh, "The meat is delivered to the mouth, but I am afraid that the appetite is too small to eat!" ”
