"Save? How do I save Dongshan Gong? Zhu Yiyuan was puzzled.

Zhao Shizhe laughed and said, "If it weren't for what Zhu Yanshi did, how could I convince those officials to let the old man go." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yiyuan was surprised, "Have they arrived?" ”

Zhao Shizhe said: "Here, there are five people in total." ”

Zhu Yiyuan was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help but say: "They took the initiative to release Mr. and escorted him back, they can be called righteous men, I want to treat you!" ”

Zhu Yiyuan personally instructed to prepare eight dishes and a jar of aging.

Warm hospitality for the five officials.

"I would like to ask a few people, do you have any plans?"

The leader smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a secret, since the Tartar Emperor ascended the throne, we haven't gotten the Yulu yet." Although it is said that being in the yamen can make some oil and water, it is not a long-term solution. doesn't give it to you, you don't say anything, and you always let us do this and that...... A few days ago, we forced the villagers to shave their hair and make it easy to wear, and now we are letting us catch people. If this spreads, our fathers and fellow villagers will poke our backbones. I just heard what Mr. Zhao said, so we escorted him over. ”

Zhu Yiyuan nodded, "Then are you willing to do things under my rule?" ”

These people looked at each other, "Zhu Gongzi, let's ask a question, do you divide the field?" ”

Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "Why don't you give it?" Not only will they give you land, but they will also arrange for people to bring your family members over, and they will also be able to get the land. Moreover, I urgently need some people to move the operation of the yamen, and you come here, it is the time to make great achievements. ”

"Thank you Master Zhu!" Several of the officials were overjoyed.

Zhu Yiyuan took the initiative to toast them, and flattered several officials, this person has already mastered several counties, and it stands to reason that he is much more than our magistrate.

In the county yamen, if the county magistrate takes a look at us, it will be a shame, where is there a personal toast, shush the cold and ask for warmth, so look at it, it's really right.

After eating, Zhu Yiyuan immediately arranged for someone to pick up the families of several people.

Then Zhu Yiyuan said: "Dongshan Gong, it's just right for you to come back, now there are many scholars from poor backgrounds who have taken refuge here, and the things we talked about earlier should also begin." ”

Zhao Shizhe nodded again and again, "It's not a secret, when I went back this time, I have already contacted many people from Shanzuo Taisha, including the juniors of my clan, named Zhao Jinmei, and a young prodigy, named Wang Shizhen, and many young students, all of whom are willing to contribute to the resistance to the Qing Dynasty." These people will come over one after another. ”

Zhu Yiyuan was overjoyed, "If you can get talents to join, you can continue to grow, and I will arrange special people to take care of you." Next, we will conduct examinations, admit a group of talents, and enrich them, and these counties will depend on them. ”

Zhao Shizhe had no objection and fully agreed.

After this near-death experience, he had a new perspective. For example, Li Zhen's proposition, in the past few decades, has been more or less accepted by readers. The influence of the study of mind is almost everywhere.

But for many years, the study of mind has remained in the realm of talking, and even talking. Even the Donglin Party looked down on the study of the mind and advocated practical learning that was applied to the world.

Of course, Donglin's practical learning is just like that, it's hard to say whether it's practical or not, but it can definitely enrich your wallet.

Zhao Shizhe is also very confused, what should he do to find a way out?

Zhu Yiyuan's various actions and propositions, at first glance, are a bit deviant, but if you think about it carefully, he cares about every people, isn't this the people's foundation?

Isn't it to solve the land problem, curb annexation, and eliminate displaced people...... This is something that has been said for decades, but no one can do.

Now Zhu Yiyuan has done it, and he has done a good job.

The situation in Laiwu and other places has preliminarily proved Zhu Yiyuan's success, and there are still people who are willing to follow, as long as they persist in going, they may really be able to grow stronger and stronger......

Zhao Shizhe no longer had any doubts, and decided to completely devote himself to the righteous army, assist Zhu Yiyuan, and achieve great causes.

In view of this identity, Zhu Yiyuan did not dare to slack off, he invited Zhao Shizhe to serve as a senator and counselor.

With this identity, Zhao Shizhe immediately set about conducting examinations, selecting officials, and establishing a charter...... The rebel army can be said to be one day at a time, and it is thriving.

However, Shandong is not the only one of Zhu Yiyuan's rebels, such as Xie Qian, whose situation at the moment is quite difficult.

To be precise, Xie Qian can live to this day, because Lord Yama dozed off and forgot to draw a fork.

In fact, the biggest characteristic of a righteous army like Xie Qian is that it is casual, it is not too much to do anything, and it will not be as much as Zhu Yiyuan's plan, and every step must be constantly weighed.

At the beginning, he had an idea to set up a king of Lu, but after listening to Zhu Yiyuan's praise and taking Zichuan, he felt that he could do bigger things, and immediately marched into Jinan Mansion.

If he really had Jinan Mansion, there might have been no Xie Qian for a long time.

Fortunately, just after leaving Zichuan, his fellow villagers in Gaoyuan informed him that Gaoyuan was empty and that the villagers were unwilling to be servants of the Qing court......

Xie Qian was born in Gaoyuan, and there are still many villagers here, so instead of going to Jinan Mansion to fight hard, it is better to go to Gaoyuan first.

Then Xie Qian really captured Gao Yuan.

The villagers continued to join his team, and Xie Qian's men once exceeded 8,000 people.

At that time, Xie Qian was really full of self-confidence, and he felt that he could do anything.

Then he took a few hard hits one after another.

Xie Qian sent 3,000 men out of the city to take the initiative to meet the battle, but lost half of them, and only more than 1,000 fled back in embarrassment.

Then Yi Yonggui, the chief soldier from the Han Army Banner, also came, and they surrounded Gaoyuan County from the outside.

Xie Qian fell into the prison all of a sudden.

Outside, the Qing army stormed the city from time to time, and he had to personally go to the city to supervise the battle, and used his strength to block the Qing soldiers, and there was trouble inside.

Without food, the people of the city are in disarray, and the hearts of the people are unstable.

There was a big family in the city who even planned to steal the city gate and lure the Qing soldiers in, but fortunately he was discovered by Xie Qian and killed directly.

"These brutes, if they don't let go of good people, are they so willing to be slaves to the Qing court?"

Yan Ermei followed Xie Qian, he gritted his teeth and said: "Commander Xie, these gentry are not reliable, we can only rely on ordinary soldiers, I thought that the commander should use thunderbolt means!" ”

Xie Qian gritted his teeth, "I can even kill the old master, let alone kill a few villagers!"

Lao Xie immediately ordered to kill the gentry and magnates in the city and confiscate their food...... Each soldier has two catties a day, and the common people are halved.

Relying on strict food restrictions, Xie Qian lasted for a month and a half.

The rich and powerful families in Gaoyuan were all killed by him, and then the soldiers' food was reduced to eight taels per catty, and the common people were reduced to seven taels, then five taels, and three taels......

To put it bluntly, there is only one bowl of porridge left in a day.

The soldiers gradually did not have enough to eat, so they had to slaughter their animals.

Two and a half months later, the old and weak women and children in the city kept dying, and because they were besieged by Qing soldiers outside, they couldn't even bury them, and the whole city was shrouded in a stench.

Xie Qian has lost weight several times, he has to guard against the Qing army every day, and also appease the city, a candle burns at both ends, haggard, exhausted.

The last thing Xie Qian could see was that those children were hungry and crying, and he wanted to draw out some food, but he really couldn't do it.

The soldiers were already short of food, and due to hunger, their bodies weakened, and generally began to swell.

In the third month, the plague spread again in the city, and some of the soldiers fell to the ground as they walked, and could not get up again.

Xie Qian's strength was also reduced from 8,000 at the peak to less than 1,000.

On this day, Xie Qian came back from patrolling, sat down beside Yan Ermei, and said directly: "Sir, you are ready to run, Gao Yuan is finished." ”

Yan Ermei was also tortured, but he was still unwilling to give up, "Commander Xie gave up?" ”

Xie Qian smiled bitterly and nodded, "You go and take a look, I walked around today, and I saw three places eating people!" They took out the corpses, which were obviously rotten and maggots, and boiled them in a pot and ate them in large gulps...... I tried to persuade them, but I didn't have the energy to do it. Mr. Yan, our food stock is gone, and I Xie Qian will have this handful of bones left, otherwise, let them cook me and eat it! ”

Yan Ermei knew too much about the situation in Gaoyuan City, even more terrifying than Xie Qian said.

He was thinking about what to say, when he suddenly heard a sobbing sound, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Xie Qian, this iron-clad man, who was crying.

"Damn, bastard surnamed Zhu, if I hadn't listened to his bewitchment and become a hero, I wouldn't have fallen to where I am today...... Lao Tzu will block the front for you, you kid is grateful to repay you! ”

"Zhu Yiyuan, your grandmother's, Lao Tzu should bring you over, the skin and tender meat are just cooked and eaten!"

It was clear that Xie Qian's spirit was on the verge of collapse...... At this moment, someone suddenly staggered and ran over.

"Thank you for the commander, the commander for the ...... The Tartars are back! ”

"What?" Xie Qian subconsciously stood up, his voice trembling, "You, what you said is true?" ”

"Really, if you don't believe it, you can go up to the city and see, they're heading south."

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, and then Sayazi ran to the city, and Yan Ermei followed.

The two of them went up to the city, raised their eyes, and sure enough, the Qing army left, and went south.

"The surname is Zhu, thank you!"

After speaking, Xie Qian lay on the ground, pouting his ass and kowtowing......
