Chapter Ninety-Seven: Getting Rich
Wang Jun personally operated the knife, dissected Tong Yangliang's chest and abdomen, took out the heart and liver, and enshrined it in front of Chao Yuguang's coffin, and then cut off the head of Tong Yangliang and hung it on the flagpole to show the public.
Tong Yangliang was born in the Tong family, this is not comparable to Ma Degong and Liu Zhigan, he is a general of the Qing army, and now he has died in Shandong, and the consequences can be imagined.
But for Zhu Yiyuan, he has no time to think about it at the moment,
As soon as Tong Yangliang died, Yizhou was empty, and he just took the opportunity to take it down.
Yizhou is the Linyi of later generations, the geographical location is quite superior, better than Yishui a lot. Moreover, after occupying Yizhou, you can seize Haizhou to the east, get the vital outlet to the sea, and break into the land of Lianghuai to the south.
It is no exaggeration to say that after taking Yizhou, the whole situation will be opened.
Zhu Yiyuan chose the Yimeng Mountains as the fundamental place, not only to hide in the mountains and play hide and seek with the Qing court, but also to fight out and make a difference.
Now comes the perfect opportunity.
"Zhu Yanshi, I am willing to be a pioneer and capture Yizhou immediately." Wang Jun took the initiative to ask for an order.
Zhu Yiyuan groaned slightly, and said, "General Wang led three thousand households to Yizhou, and let Mr. Ning Ren go with you." ”
Zhu Yiyuan ordered Gu Yanwu, it is not difficult to defeat Yizhou, the difficult thing is the next governance, Wang Jun and his martial arts are not good, let Gu Yanwu pass, it is appropriate.
After arranging Gu Yanwu, Zhu Yiyuan said to Tan Deyu: "Seventh Master, although Tong Yang's amount is finished, there are still Ke Yongsheng and Juzhou, we must go north immediately." ”
Tan Deyu immediately agreed and immediately organized his army to go north.
However, this also has a problem, that is, this time thousands of Qing troops were captured, if the main force of the righteous army left, they might riot, and with them, it would slow down the speed of the march.
"Excuse me, the last time Zhang Lin suggested slaughtering all the prisoners, that time he didn't agree, but let them go. This time, Tong Yangliang's subordinates are all Han military flags, and their sins are monstrous, and I am afraid that they will not be able to let them go. ”
If you can't put it, you have to kill!
Zhu Yiyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Take out all the officials among them, detain them alone, and arrange for the rest of the soldiers to understand the situation, and the guilty will be severely punished, and they will be killed if they should be killed." Indeed, he was just an ordinary soldier, and he did no evil deeds, and he was used as hard labor. ”
Up to now, Zhu Yiyuan's command has become quite powerful, and everything must pay attention to rules.
In any case, Zhu Yiyuan couldn't do it by killing thousands of people directly and indiscriminately. But if you want to get away with it casually, it's impossible.
Especially this kind of Han military banner that has followed the Qing army for many years, if you don't punish them severely, you will be sorry for the soldiers who sacrificed and hundreds of people.
And since then, a set of norms has been formed, all captured generals must be strictly and thoroughly investigated, and the soldiers below must be completely reformed.
Those who had followed the Qing court for a long time and participated in many battles had to serve hard labor, and depending on their performance, they decided whether to be released or not.
Those who are short in their years and are indeed coerced, they need to be explained clearly, mobilize them, and join the side of the rebels.
In other words, if you are put on a hat, you will be caught in the Qing army casually. If you are captured by the rebels, you can definitely get back to life.
After Zhu Yiyuan made the arrangements, he and Tan Deyu led the elite soldiers and quickly went north.
They passed through the south of Fulai Mountain and went straight to Juzhou.
When Zhu Yiyuan arrived, the gate of Juzhou City was opened, and the magistrate was naked, kneeling on the ground, holding a picture book and surrendering, and behind him, there were other officials and gentry in Juzhou.
It turned out that the news of the battle of Gegoudian had already arrived.
And the more the news spread, the more people said, some people simply said that tens of thousands of Qing troops were all killed by the righteous army, the corpses blocked the Yishui, and the heads were piled up into a hill.
Of course, everyone said this, it was out of a good expectation, and Zhu Yiyuan said that he would work hard next time.
It's just that it can scare Juzhou into surrendering, which is also a good thing.
"Where are the monks and soldiers of Dinglin Temple in Fulai Mountain?" Zhu Yiyuan asked suddenly.
Zhixian Tang Guang trembled, "Hui, back to General Zhu's words, the monks and soldiers have already returned to Dinglin Temple, they have no intention of being enemies with the general, and they think that it is better not to touch the pure place of Buddhism." ”
Zhu Yiyuan laughed, "When they pull up the monks, they are my enemies." Looting the land, oppressing the people, resisting the rebels, do they do things with the slightest intention of purity? ”
Zhu Yiyuan turned his head and said sharply: "Commander Tan, immediately send two thousand households to surround Dinglin Temple." Tell the people inside to either surrender and wait for the fall, or burn the jade! There is no third way. ”
Tan Deyu hurriedly agreed and decisively led the troops to set off.
By defeating Tong Yangliang this time, the rebels were not only reborn from their morale, but also greatly improved their equipment.
The 2,000 people led by Tan Deyu have an astonishing seventy percent armor rate.
Although those monks and soldiers were fierce, they didn't have much armor, after all, hiding armor was a great crime of rebellion. It's swords and the like, and the court doesn't care much about it.
From this provision, it can be seen that armor is the real weapon of great destruction, especially in the era of cold weapons, armored warriors are simply crushed.
It is impossible for the monks of Jorinji Temple not to know this.
Half a day later, an old monk came to see Zhu Yiyuan.
"General Zhu, old man Huizhi, some time ago, it was just to protect the villagers from military disasters. Now that the general Wang Shi has arrived, the old man has asked them to disband, and they each returned home, and they dare not disobey the general. ”
Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "Great monk, listen to what you said, you understand, let me ask you, has the Ming Dynasty stipulated that the temple can not pay taxes?" ”
Hui Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said for a long time: "If you go back to the general's words, the temples of the past dynasties have not paid alms, and the monks have received alms from all sides, and it is convenient for all parties, all they ask for is just a porridge and a meal, and nothing else." ”
Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "You mean that the temple has no income, so there is no need to pay taxes?" ”
Huizhi groaned slightly, and said bitterly: "It means this, it's just that if General Zhu is short of food, the temple is willing to donate some money and grain......
"Not necessarily!" Zhu Yiyuan said with a smile: "I have inquired, there are three pawnshops in Juzhou City, all of which are opened by you. The pawnshop has always been a bully to the poor, taking advantage of people's danger and falling into the well. A brand-new leather jacket, when it reaches your mouth, has become an insect and a rat bite, and it is not worth a penny. In this way, the pawnshop money in your hands, as well as the money and grain you lent out, will be written off. ”
Hui Zhi was taken aback, "Amitabha, General Zhu, debt repayment, this is a natural thing, not only did the temple not bully the people, but also gave porridge and clothes, which is known from far and near." ”
Zhu Yiyuan smiled and said: "The wool is out of the sheep, you collect ten percent of the wealth of the people, and take out one percent to buy fame, do you still expect the people to thank you?" I might as well tell you that under my rule, monks are not allowed to do business, and they have to liquidate the temple property when they turn back. Moreover, there are rules in the imperial court, not everyone can be a monk, they have to go through assessments, and they have to be reviewed regularly, these things let Song go through the arrangement. ”
As soon as Zhu Yiyuan came up, he aimed the finger at Dinglin Temple, which was not his whim.
In fact, Juzhou's survival until now is related to the resistance of these monks to Juntian.
Strictly speaking, they are much more stubborn than the big ones.
Moreover, they gathered hundreds of monks and soldiers at every turn, if they didn't deal with it quickly, if Ke Yongsheng killed him, they would be harmful.
Zhu Yiyuan decisively sent people to investigate thoroughly.
The soldiers went for less than half a day, and they came back to report to Zhu Yiyuan, they were in some trouble and wanted to ask for help.
Zhu Yiyuan could only rush to Dinglin Temple, and the soldiers led Zhu Yiyuan to the front of a warehouse, and they opened the door.
Suddenly, the golden light flashed inside, shaking the blind man's eyes.
Zhu Yiyuan felt his heart pounding...... No wonder the soldier asked him to come over and deal with it, which is also a bit too much.
Zhu Yiyuan, you can't be knocked down by money!
After reciting it silently in his heart three times, Zhu Yiyuan stepped in......
