Zhu ...... Excuse me, I saw that you took Master Fang away, and I wanted to talk to you, but I didn't expect it......" Song Lian couldn't continue, he meant it very clearly, you see that I am an experienced officer in the department, and I am already in charge of official documents, and you get a Master Fang, not to mention the overlap of work, Master Fang is not a good thing, if you want to achieve great things, you must be close to the virtuous and far from the villain. Lao Fang is a complete villain, if he doesn't kill him, he can't keep him.

It's just that when this notice was posted, Song Lian had nothing to say at all.

What the old man can do, he really can't do.

"Mr. Xiao Song, this is where you need to reflect, even if it is a horse dung ball, it can be used to fertilize the field, how can you discriminate against Master Fang?"

Song Lian was speechless, and for a while he didn't know if this was a compliment or a derogation...... Fortunately, Song Lian was a kind person and did not continue.

"We have already raised the banner, the Qing court has lost 3,000 people and a general army, they will definitely not give up, internal and external, there are thousands of problems, I can't tell how to arrange it."

Song Lian, an experienced official, is not only responsible for official documents, but also has a schedule, and he and Zhang Lin, the judge of affairs, are exactly divided into two government affairs, each performing his own duties.

Zhu Yiyuan said: "Since there are thousands of things, let's take it slowly." Let's start with military affairs. Ma Degong took the Great Wall Ridge, the surprise attack failed, and the Qing army should not take this road next, and I will send a thousand households to garrison the front line of the Great Wall Ridge, and then unite with the Taishan Army, if everything goes well, the northwest direction of Laiwu will sit back and relax. ”

Song Lian's mind flashed the terrain of Shandong, it is true, although Laiwu is considered Jinan Mansion, the terrain is already very rugged, especially Mount Tai in the west, plus the Great Wall Ridge in the northwest, which constitutes a barrier that is not very strong.

It can break through, but it is not easy.

Especially after Ma Degong's failure, no one will easily take risks.

"If you want to talk about Xintai, it doesn't seem to be a big problem, mainly because the Confucian Mansion has lost hundreds of families, plus there are not many Qing troops in Yanzhou Mansion, and the only few men and horses have to be used to protect the safety of the canal, and there is no time to go north for a while." Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile, what Xintai really needs to watch out for is the local gentry, these people surrendered to Zhu Yiyuan under heavy pressure, and it is difficult to say whether they will change their hexagram next.

Therefore, it is necessary to put a thousand households in Xintai.

In this way, Zhu Yiyuan was left with three active thousand households, plus a sufficient number of militiamen.

And Zhu Yiyuan needs to use troops in only two directions, one of which is Zichuan in the northeast, which is also the place where Zhu Yiyuan made his fortune.

"Now the main forces of the Qing army are gathered in Jiyang, Qingcheng, Qidong, and Le'an, Meile Zhangjing is annoyed, and the general soldiers Yi Yonggui are all there. To be honest, I am amazed that Commander Xie has been able to carry it to this day. ”

Although Zhu Yiyuan helped Xie Qian resolve most of the pressure of the displaced people, there were still displaced people pouring into Gaoyuan and other places.

Opposite him was the upright Qing army, and it was not easy to hold on for so long.

Song Lian thought for a while and said, "Zhu Yanshi, do you think you can ask Commander Xie to give up Gaoyuan, retreat to Zichuan, and join forces with us?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan groaned, he didn't mean to be afraid of Xie Qian and not allow him to come. In fact, Zhu Yiyuan very much hoped that Xie Qian could go south, and then join forces and march into Mengyin, officially entering the Yimeng Mountains.

With their troops, as long as there are mountains and rivers to block them, they can restrain the main force of the Qing army, and they will definitely be able to develop rapidly.

This is the safest way to go.

The question now is whether Xie Qian can go south smoothly?

The Qing army did not let go and chased into the territory of Zichuan, or if he wanted to cross the original mountain and enter Laiwu, how did Zhu Yiyuan need to deal with it?

"If we don't cut off the tail of the Qing army, we won't be able to let go and march into Mengyin." Zhu Yiyuan said seriously: "The next focus is still in the direction of Zichuan, immigrating as soon as possible, transferring food and materials, and workshop craftsmen, all of whom will move to Laiwu first." ”

Song Lian listened carefully and nodded frequently.

At this time, Tan Qiye ...... No, it's Tan Deyu, he's here.

"That's the case, after counting, counting the Qing army captured by the militia and civilians, there are more than 1,300 people in total, what do we need to do?"

Zhu Yiyuan looked at Song Lian, "Go and call Zhang Duanshi." ”

Soon Zhang Lin also came, and he said directly: "The Qing army expelled the displaced people, we resettled more than 10,000 people, and the people of Zichuan also had to move south to escape the war." Laiwu is a county, with tens of thousands more. If it is not handled properly, outsiders and locals will have to fight. We are not short of labor now, on the contrary, food is expensive and cannot be wasted. ”

At this time, Tan Deyu also muttered: "That's the case, Ma Degong's soldiers and horses have done a lot of evil, and it is difficult to domesticate them for a while, so keep them, I'm afraid that there will be troubles." ”

Both of them felt that these captives were a hot potato, and it was very difficult to deal with.

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Lin suddenly said slowly: "I thought these people were surrendering by fraud, they intended to rebel in the army, and they were escorted to the river and killed!" ”

As soon as Zhang Lin finished speaking, Song Lian's eyes widened, "Zhang Xuan, we arrested people one by one, how can it be considered fraud?" Attempted rebellion, what's going on? ”

Faced with questioning, Zhang Lin didn't pay attention to him at all, but looked directly at Zhu Yiyuan.

Kill!

Only by killing can you get rid of it.

"Mr. Zhang, what you said reminds me of a sentence, every time you go against you, things can be done." Zhu Yiyuan said lightly.

Zhang Lin was stunned for a moment, because this method was indeed learned from Prime Minister Cao Cheng, but Zhu Yiyuan talked about rebellion, and it seemed that Zhu Gongzi did not agree with his idea.

"Please show me."

Zhu Yiyuan said: "I don't want to talk about any lenient ways. Ma Degong's subordinates deserve to die a lot, but if you want to say that they all killed, more than a thousand lives, I will not agree to it no matter what. And since we can't hide after this battle. simply made the movement a little louder and made it known to the world, just to boost morale and sweep away the decadence. ”

Zhu Yiyuan has already calculated, he can't hide it, the land of three counties, thousands of soldiers and horses, where do you want to hide?

But to say that the Qing army will immediately mobilize the main force to besiege them, that is not necessarily.

After all, the main Qing army is still in the south of the Yangtze River, and Shandong is just this point, and it will take at least two or three months to mobilize more people, and Zhu Yiyuan may have entered Mengyin at that time, and the situation is very different.

So these captives can be released, but not simply.

"Commander Tan, you ordered screening, acceptance of the citation, and arrest those who were in charge of the army and had committed many crimes, and put them together with Ma Degong, and prepared to be executed. As for the ordinary captives, take them to our village to see how the fields are divided. Then each person was given a tael of silver and a bag of dry food, so that they could go home and stop working for the Qing court. ”

Several people took a breath, released the captives, and gave the passage money and dry food, which was too kind, right?

But when I think about it, this move seems to be full of deep meaning.

If these people go back, they will definitely bring the situation in Laiwu back to the rule of the Qing court, and if there is a comparison, there will be harm, and the gap between the two sides will inevitably plant a seed.

We do a good job and are not afraid to compare at all!

It cannot be denied that among these captives, there will be natural villains, that is, they are unreasonable, they do not know how to be grateful, they have no conscience, and they do all kinds of evil...... But as long as there are some people who can tell the truth and can read the good of the righteous army.

Even if they rejoin the Qing army and encounter them on the battlefield again, it will have unexpected effects.

Zhu Yiyuan got up, walked behind Zhang Lin, and patted him on the shoulder slightly.

"Mr. Zhang, in the final analysis, we are fighting to fight for the dignity of being human beings and defend China. If we fight and we ourselves become barbarians, then we will be sorry for the sacrificed soldiers. ”

Zhang Lin was stunned and nodded hurriedly, "I understand." ”

……

"Vicious, so vicious!" Fang Dayou gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "Zhu Yiyuan, this thief, actually gave the captives travel expenses and sent dry food, what does he want to do?" Want to break the morale of the army? In the past, I always thought that Xie Qian was the number one thief in Shandong, but now it seems that Zhu Yiyuan is more than 10,000 times more hateful than him! ”

Good guy, Zhu Yiyuan's arrangement made the governor so angry that the people next to him looked stupid, "Lord Zhongcheng, how is this thing good?" ”

"What else can I do! Pass the order down, don't let the captives come back, as long as they are caught, they will correct the Fa on the spot! ”

"Rectify the Fa on the spot?" According to the procurator, it is difficult: "Lord Zhongcheng, what are the charges?" You can't just kill someone, right? ”

Fang Dayou's eyes rolled and said angrily: "You are also an old criminal, don't you understand this?" They are arrogant for bandits, that is, bandits, and they will be decided! ”

The inspector hurriedly agreed.

Fang Dayou then said: "Let's discuss, how to get rid of Zhu Yiyuan?" ”
