Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 102 Why did His Majesty descend first?

Even if he was ruthlessly ridiculed by these old brothers under his command, Zhu Zhongtao, the No. 17 emperor of Ming Dynasty, had no time to get angry now.

Zhu Zhongtao was completely dumbfounded.

Before the edict to invite the gentry and other rebels from all over the world to crusade against Zhu Jinsong has not yet been sent out, the prefect of Guide Prefecture and the prefect of Shangqiu County under him have already carried buckets and run away first. How can this spread to the world?

Even if the edict to crusade against Zhu Ni can be issued, how many people in the world can respond?
When the other rebels finished their discussions and launched an army against Zhu Jinsong, shouldn't he, the Emperor of Ming, find a tree to hang on?

As for relying on his own strength to block Zhu Jinsong in the Guide Mansion area first, Zhu Zhongchao, the No. 17 emperor of the Ming Dynasty, never even thought about it.

Zhu Zhongtao knew very well in his heart, not to mention that these old brothers under his command were unwilling to lead troops to fight, even if they were willing, they might not be able to stop Zhu Jinsong.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhongtao simply cast his eyes on a group of old brothers, and said tentatively: "Why don't we big guys surrender?"

After being told by Zhu Zhongtao, those old brothers under him immediately thought it was a good idea.

Since we can't defeat Zhu Jinsong's army, then we simply surrender, as long as we can keep our glory and wealth, surrender?Not shabby.

However, at the next day's court meeting, just as Zhu Zhongtao revealed his plan to surrender, the entire "Da Ming Dynasty Hall" was blown up.

Although the civil servants and generals under Zhu Zhongtao looked down on Zhu Zhongtao, these people did not intend to surrender to Zhu Jinsong. After all, these officials were either representatives elected by the sages and gentry in the village, or they were bought with money. I knew what was going on, if I followed Zhu Zhongtao all the way to the dark, I could still keep my glory and prestige, but once I surrendered...it would be hard to say.

Therefore, for these sages and gentlemen who were planning to fight Zhu Jinsong to the end, Zhu Zhongtao's plan to surrender was tantamount to a bolt from the blue, which directly made these people feel anxious.

The so-called chief minister of the cabinet immediately stood up, bowed and said: "Dare to ask your majesty, the ministers are about to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender first?"

Zhu Zhongtao immediately winked at his old brothers.

Then, the old brother who was canonized as Lord Protector by Zhu Zhongtao stood up, looked at the chief minister of the cabinet and said, "Since the chief minister is unwilling to surrender, why not let the chief minister lead the troops to pacify Zhu Ni?"

Immediately afterwards, the old brother who was canonized by Zhu Zhongtao as the Lord of the Town also stood up and said confidently: "Don't think that the Lord of the State doesn't know what you are thinking, and is still fighting to the death? Aren't you just afraid that Zhu Ni will liquidate you? Lost? But you are stupid, then Zhu Ni led his troops to attack us, this is a hostile relationship, it is normal to liquidate you, but if we surrender, he has the nerve to liquidate it?"

Then these sages and gentry felt that what Lord Zhen Guo said was right.

Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader of the Tianzi brand, is now leading troops to attack Daming. This is indeed a hostile relationship, so it is reasonable to attack the gentry and officials.

If the Dukes of Ming Dynasty and the sages and gentry of the Ming Dynasty surrendered directly under the leadership of Zhu Zhongtao, the No.17 emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then Zhu Jinsong would be ashamed to deal with us sages and gentry village by village like before. ?He still has the nerve to hang up all the officials and gentlemen in Henan?

Isn't he afraid of the criticism of the world?
Therefore, after a lot of quarreling, the honorable ministers of the "Cabinet Assistant Ministers" and the "Five Armies Governor's Mansion" unanimously agreed to send people to discuss matters of surrender.

After Zhu Jinsong received Zhu Zhongtao's surrender letter, he immediately replied that it was okay to surrender, but everything must be done according to the rules set by Zhu Jinsong.

Then, Zhu Zhongtao and the civil and military ministers under him were in pain.

What are Zhu Jinsong's rules?

Zhu Jinsong's rules are very simple. It is nothing more than that every village must establish a farmers' association, the land occupied by those sage gentry must also be returned to the people, and the sage gentry who bully the people on weekdays must also undergo a public trial.

This meant that Zhu Zhongtao and his civil and military ministers would be unlucky not to surrender, and it would be equally unlucky to surrender.

If that's the case, what a fart!

Then, Zhu Zhongtao's "Da Ming" court became turbulent.

Whether it was the representatives elected by the sages and gentry of the village, or the old brothers under Zhu Zhongtao, in order to keep their own glory and wealth, these people all expressed that they would fight the anti-thief leader Zhu Jinsong to the end.

After all, only one Guide mansion has been lost now, and "My Daming" still has several mansions in his hands. If he really dies, he will definitely be able to kill Zhu Jinsong, the anti-thief leader, but it will also make him richer and richer. for a while.

Then, Zhu Zhongtao, the "No. 17 Emperor of the Ming Dynasty", swore in the court the day before that he would fight Zhu Jinsong to the end. It didn't show up either.

Zhu Zhongtao also ran away with a bucket.

Zhu Zhongtao thought very clearly, since he can't fight or surrender, it's better to run away early, as long as he has money, he can be a master wherever he goes, even if he just finds a place where no one knows him and lives incognito, It's also much better than fighting to the end with these people.

Now it's fun.

As the saying goes, a snake cannot fly without a head, and a bird cannot fly without wings.

The behavior of Zhao Ji, the prefect of Guide Prefecture, and Zhao Ji, the magistrate of Shangqiu County, carrying buckets, directly hit the sages and gentry in Guide Prefecture. Zhu Zhongtao, the No. 17 emperor of the Ming Dynasty, directly carried buckets and ran away It even dealt a blow to the entire "Daming court" and the whole of Henan's sages and gentry.

The ministers are about to fight to the death, and His Majesty runs away first?
What's the fun in this?

After completely losing hope, those bigwigs in the "Da Ming Dynasty" who could run away with buckets just ran away with buckets, and some of the remaining ones who couldn't run away with buckets and those sages from the countryside also simply chose to be bad. He directly put on an attitude of feeding the pot of milk to welcome the master.

Don't you, Zhu Jinsong, want to set up a peasant association?
Not only did we not object, but we also actively applied to join the peasant association, and by the way, we also praised you as an old man.

Don't you, Zhu Jinsong, want to distribute the land to those mud legs?

Not only did we not object, but we didn't wait for you to come, so we took the initiative to distribute all the land to those mud legs, and also distributed part of the money by the way.

You want to put us on trial?
That's okay, anyway, we took the initiative to share the land with those mud-legged people, and divided the money, and compensated them for the grievances they suffered in the past, and those mud-legged people should think of us more or less. Wouldn't the lives of the whole family be saved?
These sages and gentry from the village can be considered to understand that if they fight, they will definitely not be able to fight.

Since you can't beat it, find a way to join.

These sages think very clearly, whether it is family property or land, these things are all things outside the body after all, and if they are discarded, they will be discarded.

But don't forget, no matter how loud your Zhu Jinsong's disturbance is.After all, you are still a rebellious and anti-thief leader, and your ultimate goal is to be the emperor.

When you become the emperor, you need someone to rule the world for you. At that time, can you still count on those mud legs who don't know a single word?Don't we have to count on those of us educated sages and gentry?

The money and crops that are given away now will have opportunities to get them back in the future.

Then, Guide Mansion, Chenzhou Mansion, Weihui Mansion, Xuzhou, Nanyang Mansion, and Ruzhou, these sites came under Meng Lianggu's rule one by one.

The time has just arrived in May of the 150th year of the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the 50th year of the Qing Dynasty's Qian Deaf, and the whole of Henan fell into Zhu Jinsong's hands.

This also means that Zhu Jinsong now has enough land to accommodate those people who fled from Zhili to Shandong.

It also means that those country gentlemen have indeed achieved their purpose.

Except for some sages and gentlemen who oppressed the people too much, and even had bloody debts, the rest of the sages and gentlemen really saved the lives of their families and themselves, and the money and land they retained were enough. Their family has no worries about food and clothing.

But for Zhu Jinsong, such a result was not what he wanted.

the reason is simple.

If he simply wanted to bring the whole of Henan under the control of Meng Lianggu's rebel group, then Zhu Jinsong could send a partisan to take the Henan government directly. As long as Zhu Zhongtao, the so-called "No. It depends on the spread, at least it is much easier to fight than it is now.

The reason why Zhu Jinsong chose to advance step by step was to get rid of these sages and gentlemen who possessed a large amount of production materials and sucked blood from the common people. This would not only liberate large tracts of land and a large amount of productivity, but also By the way, it can also attack the traditional clan forces, which will save a lot of trouble in the future.

If these sages and gentry are let go now just to quickly win the whole of Henan, it means that the liquidation is not thorough, and the result of incomplete liquidation is that the doctor's song will inevitably appear again in the future.

Zhu Jinsong hated such troubles.

But no matter how much Zhu Jinsong hated such troubles, such troubles still appeared.

And more troublesome things are yet to come.

Since ancient times, Tangkou of Zhongyuan has paid attention to a righteous name and a well-known teacher.

When Zhu Jinsong raised his troops, he fought under the banner of anti-Qing, and when he led people to fight against Qian Deaf Old Dog, he also played under the banner of anti-Qing. Therefore, Zhu Jinsong was only the leader of Meng Lianggu, including Qian Deaf Old Dog. Zhu Jinsong is also called Meng Lianggu's bandit leader.

Now Qian Deaf and the old dog have played the shrinking egg tactics and brought all the hard-core crops of the Eight Banners under the world back to Zhili, while Zhu Jinsong not only holds the title of being the first to rise up against the Qing Dynasty, but also occupies the entire Shandong and the entire Henan, so it would be inappropriate to use the banner of Meng Lianggu again.

What makes Zhu Jinsong even more painful is that there are dozens of "Da Ming" courts in the world, and some people have sent a lot of bullshit canonization edicts to Zhu Jinsong, a genuine product.

What kind of mother-in-law is this!
Deceiving too much!

So, Zhu Jinsong wondered if he should teach those people a lesson and become king by the way?
The king of Lu must not be able to do it. Just look at the kings of Lu in history. For example, the reason why Yan Shenggong's mansion gave Zhu Jinsong a petition to ask for the title of King Lu was because he wanted to be a dragon. Continuing to keep the glory and wealth of Yanshenggong Mansion is also for the disgusting Zhu Jinsong who secretly poked at him.

It's just that Kong Xianpei, Yan Shenggong at the time, certainly didn't expect that Zhu Jinsong, a mud-legged man, knew everything about it.

In the same way, the title of King Qi is not very good.

In addition, there is another very important issue, that is, according to the rules of the Central Plains Tangkou since ancient times, if you want to be king or emperor, this kind of thing cannot be proposed by Zhu Jinsong, the head of the Meng Lianggu rebel group, someone has to " persuasion."

The key point is that the most suitable place to "persuade to enter" is already cold, and it's completely cold.
