Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 2 Rebels and mobs

Upon hearing this, Zhu Guochang stroked his beard on his chin and spoke.

"From my father's point of view, the next step for my Ming Dynasty King's Division is to attack Wuxuan County."

"After my king's army conquers the county town, we can open the county treasury, open warehouses to store grain, recruit soldiers and horses, and recruit heroes to expand our strength."

"When our Ming Dynasty troops are well-prepared, we can take advantage of the chaos in Guangxi to send troops out in all directions, sweep across the place, absorb and coerce the refugees, and build up our momentum. In the end, it will surely set fire to a prairie fire."

"As long as my father can create momentum here, the heroes who are committed to the Ming Dynasty will naturally raise troops to respond. When the time comes, will you still worry that the Ming Dynasty will not be restored?"

Since he dared to raise the flag to rebel, Zhu Guochang must have had plans for the rebellion after raising the flag.

However, in Zhu Jingan's view, his cheap father's so-called rebellion plan was a bit too taken for granted.

Zhu Guochang's plan looks good, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this plan is not feasible at all.

Guangxi is indeed in chaos now, but the Qing government has stationed heavy troops in Guangxi.

If Zhu Guochang really leads people to attack Wuxuan County, he will be able to break the county seat even if he is lucky.

The result was that the county seat was broken on the first day, the Qing troops who countered the rebellion arrived on the second day, and the uprising was put down on the afternoon of the next day.

The Qing Dynasty's green battalion soldiers are indeed inferior in combat effectiveness, but that's also who they are competing with!
No matter how bad the combat effectiveness of those green soldiers is, they are still regular troops. It is impossible that they can't defeat a group of civilians who have just put down their hoes.

Soldiers and people are two completely different things.

Then, on the third day at most, the Zhu family and his son can put on their prison uniforms, get on the prison car, and set off to Caishikou in the capital to experience a Jiuzu Xiaoxiaole and a Lingchi execution set meal worth [-] dollars. .

How could there not have been [-] rebellions in our Qing Dynasty this year?
But will it finally work out?

It was so noisy that the rebels couldn't even get out of the county, so they were put down by the county magistrate commanding three squads of government officials.

If the noise is louder, once the local garrison green battalion arrives, the countdown to the fate of the rebels will begin.

Thinking about this, Zhu Jingan spoke with a tone full of anxiety.

"If father really does this, then we are doomed."

"Our Ming Dynasty now has no elite soldiers, no good generals, no weapons, and no food and grass. It's enough if we don't keep a low profile. How can we attack the county again and make things worse?"

"Isn't that an initiative to provoke the Qing court to send troops to suppress it?"

"Once the Qing court really sends troops to suppress it, can the people outside who have never even killed a chicken be able to defeat the Qing court's well-organized soldiers?!"

The expression on Zhu Guochang's face was slightly astonished, and he was surprised in his heart that his son suddenly became enlightened.

But he still suppressed his emotions on his face and asked.

"What does An Geer mean?"

Zhu Jingan said in a calm tone what Zhu Sheng said to Zhu Yuanzhang back then.

"Build walls high, store grain widely, and slowly become king!"

Zhu Guochang frowned.

"But my father has now raised his troops, and even shouted the banner of expelling the Tartars and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The Qing government will give us time to use the slogan of "build walls high, accumulate grain widely, and slowly become king" Set?"

"The reason Taizu was able to use high walls to build walls was because it was the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the world was in chaos, heroes were rising together, and the Yuan Dynasty had lost control of the place."

"Therefore, Taizu can spend time laying a solid foundation first, and then go to fight for the world after the foundation is solid."

"But although the Qing Dynasty today is not a glorious and prosperous age, it is not a chaotic and chaotic world."

"It is definitely not advisable if we continue to rigidly follow what Taizu did back then."

As a descendant of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guochang had been thinking about the rebellion for several years. He must have his own ideas about what route to take after the rebellion.

He would not be convinced by Zhu Jingan in just a few words.

When Zhu Jingan heard this, he curled his lips and said.

"Who knows?" Zhu Guochang frowned again.

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Jingan said calmly.

"I mean, who knows about my father raising the flag to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?"

"Father has just raised the flag, and the matter has not yet had time to expand. Those who know the truth are fully prepared. Except for our own people named Zhu, we are also the common people of Zhuangzi, right?"

"And from the moment my father announced his rebellion against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, all those farmers were forced to board the pirate ship and could not get off."

"As long as we, the surnamed Zhu, don't tell us, those villagers don't tell us."

"Who knew that my father was fighting against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, instead of fighting against food and taxes?"

"Could it be possible that the corpses of County Lord Bo and those servants could come back to life and sue my father for treason?"

Zhu Jingan's thinking was equally clear. Looking at Zhu Guochang's thoughtful expression, he continued.

"As long as we don't take the initiative to attack the county and make things worse, then our Zhu family will be just a mob now, not rebels."

"The Qing court's attitude towards the two is different."

If the Zhu family's father and son's current slogan is to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, they will definitely be treated as the first.

Even if there is chaos in Guangxi and no matter how tight the military strength is, the Qing government will immediately dispatch troops to encircle and suppress it.

Because for the Manchus, preventing the restoration of the Ming Dynasty was absolutely the most important thing, no matter what.

If the news that the Zhu family and his son raised the flag really spread, then Qianlong would probably have to personally intervene.

Because the "anti-Han consciousness" has long been deeply engraved in the minds of the Qing rulers.

But what if the Zhu family just led people to Luocao after resisting grain and tax?
That's another story.

Today's Guangxi is due to locust plagues and drought, as well as the government's excessive expropriation and greedy mergers by the landlords and gentry.

It can be said that the place is full of refugees and the people are in dire straits.

Countless people resisted grain and taxes and turned into bandits.

Chaos everywhere.

When the Qing government was full and full, it would mobilize heavy troops and go to the mountains and valleys of Guangxi to encircle and suppress the Zhu family, a small bandit.

In which year of the Qing Dynasty did we not have a few local troubles?

Which province, prefecture, or county in the Qing Dynasty didn't have a few groups of bandits and bandits entrenched in the local area?
If we really want to send out troops to exterminate all these people, the green battalion will not have enough troops, let alone only 60, even if it is doubled, it will not be enough.

But if the number of green soldiers really doubled, Qianlong would not be able to sleep at night.

Therefore, if the Zhu family and his son did not rebel, but just fell into disgrace, then the Qing court would most likely not take it seriously.

On the local level, the county magistrate may even take the initiative to help the Zhu family cover it up in order to prevent the matter from getting too big and causing him to lose his official title.

To prevent things from being revealed!

That's what it's like to be an official. It's better to do less than to do more.

If you do more, you will make more mistakes; if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes; if you do not do anything, it is good. This is an officialdom principle that has been summed up by countless predecessors in officialdom.
