Chapter 65 Open the city gate and welcome Zhu Gongzi

Cast Zhu?

No, absolutely not.

"Zhu Thief is not clear and not clear, what do you say about the Chinese capital, it is clear nonsense, he can't grow a rabbit's tail, and he has a dead end."

Another yellow-faced scholar also said: "That's right, the Zhu thief still divides the field, despises the scholars, and gets mixed with him, aren't we going to be like those mud-legged people?" No, absolutely not. ”

At this time, the short scholar sneered: "I don't want to be like mud legs, then I don't have to eat now, I don't have to drink, I live in a broken temple, let alone a farmer, I'm afraid I will become a beggar." ”

In a word, several scholars broke their defenses.

He looked down at his dirty clothes and touched his shriveled stomach.

They are the only ones who sleep in a ruined temple and wear caftans.

"I have an idea, let's go visit the Qi family!"

Yellow Facebook student proposed.

The Qi family dragged their families with their mouths, and so many people ran to Surabaya. They have money and people, and their families are rich, so they take some money to help the big guys, and by the way, they help the court guard the city and guard against the thieves.

Soon, five or six scholars decided to leave and go to the Qi family.

As for the short scholar, he did snort coldly and did not go with him.

He knows what virtues the Qi family has, and he will definitely not help.

If you want to survive now, you can only invite Zhu Gongzi into the city...... He thought for a while, waited for everyone else to leave, got up on his own, and went directly to the carriage and horse shop to contact friends.

At the same time, Yang Zhen, the magistrate, had already come to see Qi's family.

Qi Shijiao died a few years ago, and now it is Qi Shijiao's younger brother who has the final say, called Qi Shiyuan.

"Now that thieves are rampant, I hope that Qi Gong can take a righteous action, donate money to raise troops, and when he defeats the Zhu thief, he will be grateful. The court will also reward the prince. ”

Qi Shiyuan pretended to be sincere and fearful: "I came in a hurry, just trying to survive, I really have no heart." ”

Yang Zhen naturally didn't believe his nonsense, "Gong Qi, not only you, but also other big families in the city, as long as the big guys contribute money together, thinking in one place, it is not difficult to break the Zhu thief." ”

Qi Shiyuan still said with a bitter face: "Lord County, our family really can't come up with money, otherwise, the adults will go to other people's houses first, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, and treat all the clothes on our bodies, we have to make up some money for the adults!" ”

Yang Zhen almost fainted in anger, can you say this? There are so many of you coming, if you don't transfer money in advance, will the whole family drink the northwest wind?

It's a pity that no matter what Yang Zhen says, Qi Shiyuan just doesn't agree,

Coming out of the Qi family's residence, Yang Zhen looked up and smiled helplessly.

"This is the Ming Doctor! At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen asked them to donate money, but they were unwilling. As a result, Li Zicheng came in, and their family property fell into the hands of King Chuang. Now, now in the face of the Qi family, I really want to open the city gate, let the thief into the city, and let him take care of you! ”

It is really a good skill to be able to make this magistrate so angry that he wants to be a thief.

The yellow-faced scholar also wanted to ask the Qi family to pay money, but as soon as they came, they were beaten out by the Qi family.

Who gave you the courage to stink?

He fled back in embarrassment and wanted to go to the City God Temple to rest, but he came back late, and his previous position had long been occupied by a few beggars.

When the two sides met, there was immediately tension, and a few scholars had to fight for their sleeping place, and those beggars didn't want to go outside to be cold,

Seeing that a terrible war is about to break out.

"Brother Liu, it's all come to this point, what kind of decency is there?"

A short scholar shouted angrily.

It turned out that the yellow-faced scholar surnamed Liu, when he heard this, he was not yellow-faced, but completely red-faced, and if he beat an egg on it, he could immediately become a poached egg.

What a shame!

"I'm really shameless to live." Saying that, this guy turned his head and ran outside, wanting to throw himself into the river to find a well, but he was not alive anyway.

The short man grabbed him.

"If you have the heart to die, don't you have the courage to open the city gate and welcome Zhu Gongzi into the city?"

The yellow-faced scholar was stunned for a moment, his expression was full of tangled pain, "Is there no other way out except to take refuge in the Zhu thief?" ”

The short man laughed and asked, "Then who do you think can give us a way to live now?" ”

The yellow-faced scholar was speechless for a moment, Zhu Yiyuan treated the scholar politely, and did not treat them as human beings, but in the end, there was a field and the opportunity to be a scribe, like what kind of starvation and cold, it was impossible.

But when they escaped and defected to the Qing Dynasty, they learned that what the court cared about was a big family like the Qi family, and there should be scholars, who were officials, famous, and had nothing, and in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, they were mules, horses, and livestock, and they couldn't even be people.

It's better to stay under Zhu Yiyuan's hands, if you don't come out this time, you won't know that you are such a waste!

"We don't have anything, let's fight!"

"Yes!" The short scholar shook his head hard, "It's really going to be dead." ”

The Qing soldiers in the city, the village warriors, and the families brought in by the big families, there are still one or two thousand people in total, which is not a small number. It's just that I heard that Ma Degong and others were killed, and I saw that the righteous army was strong and strict, so I didn't dare to go out of the city.

It seems that it is not difficult to defend the city gates.

But since we're readers, we can write.

They looted their bodies, took out the last bit of money, and began to pretend to be Zhu Yiyuan and post notices in the city.

"Brother Liu, you said that our stickers are the most effective? After all, we don't have a lot of money, we can't hold on, we have to see immediate results. "The short scholar asked.

The yellow-faced man thought about it seriously and held back a sentence, "Just write what we can't stand the most!" ”

The short man was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but stretch out two thumbs, your idea is high!

Sure enough, in the city of Surabaya, in the streets and alleys, notices praising Zhu Yiyuan's idea of dividing the land appeared...... Abolish the slave artisan households, and everyone will be granted land.

Free the slaves and allow everyone to go to school.

Lightly and lightly, officers and soldiers are one.

……

All the propaganda is aimed at the people at the bottom of the city, and many of the family members are slaves, so don't they want to straighten their chests and be people?

There are still many displaced people in the city, who do odd jobs, they are all bankrupt farmers, although the life in the city is not short, but who can refuse the temptation of land?

Even the defenders of the city began to waver, and the thieves still knew that the officers and soldiers were one, and look at them, they were worse than pigs and dogs.

Zhu Yiyuan blockaded the county seat of Surabaya on the eighth day, and finally some people couldn't stand it anymore and came down from the city to join the rebels.

"Zhu Yanshi, how do you settle down?"

Zhu Yiyuan was prepared, "After asking about their identity, give them food and clothing, and take proper care." ”

The soldier promised to go down and arrange, and with the first, there was the second.

As time went on, more and more people came out of the city.

These people have come down from the city, and the gates are still there, and they are still holding on inside......

"What do I need to do to open the city gate and invite Zhu Gongzi in?"

The scholars gathered together again, but while they were discussing, suddenly a thick cloud of smoke appeared in the east of the city.

It's the direction of the carriage!

The short reader looked at it for a moment, and instantly understood.

"They did it!"

But no, let you always discuss and make a decision, and people will do it.

There was a fire in one place, and flames also erupted in other places, and the city began to spiral out of control.

The short scholar gritted his teeth, "Go to the city gate, open it, and greet Zhu Gongzi!" ”

The rest of the people were stunned for a moment, and they all nodded, and they came out together.

As they moved forward, there was a constant influx of people, both the outcasts from the city and the beggars.

By the time they reached the gate of the city, more than 300 people had gathered.

When the officers and soldiers defending the city saw this posture, they not only did not get angry, but also did not stop them.

Instead, they were all smiles on their faces, finally relieved.

"Open the city gate and greet Zhu Gongzi!"

"Open the city gate and greet Zhu Gongzi!"

……

The gates were wide open and the drawbridge fell.

After Qian Qianyi patrolled Shandong, Zhu Yiyuan was almost bloodless and captured the first city.
