When Yuan Qi saw this county that had not been captured for a long time, he did not feel much joy in his heart. Since the defeat in Hangzhou, if Zhang Yunyi had not died of illness, Yuan Qi would have been wiped out long ago. Later, a series of changes made Yuan Qi, who was hidden in the Great Man Valley, find a chance to rise again. He took advantage of the Tonglu Incident and decisively raided Chizhou, thus obtaining a large amount of silver and grain. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Jiangnan army was attracted by Zhu Jiancai's troops, Yuan Qi led his army to capture several small cities one after another, and finally barely gained a foothold.

Today, although Yuan Qi's military strength has not returned to its heyday, he has nearly 30,000 troops under his command. In addition, this restructuring, Yuan Qi has learned from the lessons of the failure last time and is more concerned about the training of the troops. In order to avoid too many factions under his command and ineffective command, Yuan Qi has not adopted disorderly expansion measures.

"Prince, Anmin's notice has been posted. As you ordered, all the officials in the city have been put in jail."

Just as Yuan Qi came to the county government office, his subordinates came to report. After hearing this, Yuan Qi nodded without comment, and then led everyone into the county government office.

"Brother, these Qing dogs are just a waste of food. As far as I can see, I will cut them straight away." Wang Yousan said dissatisfied. In his opinion, Yuan Qi has lost his previous aura this time and has become a little too cautious. According to the previous rebel army, after taking down the county town, all the people will be able to raise hundreds of thousands of people in less than a few days. Why not be happy to sweep the world?

"Mr. Marquis, this is a well-established method. The ancients said that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. The prince did this with profound intentions!" Zhou Zhongliang interrupted with a smile, and Wang Yousan snorted dissatisfiedly: "I can't see any intention or not. In my opinion, it's better to do it before."

"Hahaha!" Hearing this, Yuan Qi laughed out loud: "Third brother, you will be happy in the future, but it is still beneficial to do this now. You will understand after a long time."

"Since the elder brother said that, then do it. Anyway, the third brother listened to the elder brother." Wang Yousan smiled and clasped his fists.

Yuan Qi did not explain much about this matter. Wang Yousan is a rough man, and he naturally has a rough man's way of talking to rough man. However, the most important thing in front of him is not this, but what to do next.

"The day before yesterday, Zhu Jiancai sent someone to send a letter. It seems that General Zhu is not having a good life. Everyone, what will happen next?"

Not long ago, Zhu Jiancai sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Qi. The letter meant to be united with Yuan Qi's troops. Zhu Jiancai still respected Yuan Qi as the Grand Marshal, and Zhu Jiancai was the Grand General. The two armies supported each other to fight against the Qing army. After receiving the letter, Yuan Qi was commanding the attack on Dongzhi County, so the matter was temporarily put on hold. Now Dongzhi has been taken down, so it is time to discuss this matter.

"It seems that Zhu Jiancai was chased by Qing Gou, otherwise he wouldn't have come to surrender to the prince."

"Prince, it's better to refuse Zhu Jiancai than to think of it. This person obviously has bad intentions and tries to rely on the prince's strength to fight against the Qing dogs and treat us brothers as guns."

"That's right! Prince, this guy named Zhu is full of bad water. Why didn't he come to surrender to the prince when he took Tonglu? Now the chaser seems to remember the prince's arrival instead?"

"Hmph! Prince, why not let him come first, wait for him to come directly...haha." The person who said this sneered, and his head beheaded in his hand, which attracted everyone to cheer.

Everyone present expressed their opinions, and Yuan Qi didn't say which one was better. He just listened silently. After listening for a while, his eyes turned to Gao Jin.

"Second, tell me."

Originally, others thought that Gao Jin could only say what the prince told him to do. After all, Gao Jin always followed Yuan Qi's leader. But unexpectedly, Gao Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Although Zhu Jiancai is ambitious, he is not authentic in his work, but based on the current situation, he proposed that the two armies support each other is worth considering."

When he said that, everyone looked at each other, especially Wang Yousan immediately said, "Second brother, you are not confused, are you? Why doesn't this kid think about his elder brother and his brothers when he was eating meat? Now there is a pile of shit behind his butt and asks me to wait for his brother to pull him? Do you agree?"

"Haha, I just think so. The prince will decide what the specific thing is." Gao Jin smiled lightly and said nothing, but just hugged Yuan Qi and clasped his fists.

Zhou Zhongliang, who was beside him, seemed to have thought of something. As for Yuan Qi, he smiled and nodded slightly.

"Prince, although our rebel army is unstoppable after its revitalization, Qing Gou is powerful after all, and the Qing Gou court has sent several armies to encircle our rebel army, and it is very powerful. Although the sky is eyeing, a grain shortage in Jiangnan and people in various places continue to revolt, our army's goal is the greatest in the eyes of Qing Gou. Now that Zhu Jiancai's troops are blocking the Qing Gou, we can have a place to move now. Once Zhu Jiancai's troops are destroyed by Qing Gou, our troops will be the first to be affected. The prince must not ignore it."

Whether a literati is a literati, Zhou Zhongliang, a master, still has a good ability to figure out people's hearts. Seeing Yuan Qi's expression, he immediately said this. He seemed to say this to Yuan Qi, but in fact he told the others present that he pointed out the situation. Some people who were smart reacted after hearing this, and some nodded thoughtfully.

"The second brother and Mr. Zhou said well." Yuan Qi said, "The situation is beneficial to us now, but it is also a fact that the Qing dog is powerful. Moreover, China has fallen for many days, and the people still have concerns about us. No matter what the Zhu Department has before, the Zhu Department must protect it now. To protect Zhu Jiancai means to protect ourselves."

Speaking of this, Yuan Qi paused and continued: "When the army is united, the two armies are supporting each other, the Qing dogs cannot defeat each other, which is also beneficial to our great cause of anti-Qing. But then again, Zhu Jiancai is not so brave to really join forces with me, but I don't care about him. As long as he can contribute to the great cause of anti-Qing, what if I give him the title of general? As for the future, it's not too late to talk about it later."

After Yuan Qi finished speaking, everyone claimed that it was, and the matter was settled. Dongzhi had just taken it down and there was still a lot of things to do. After the discussion, everyone dispersed, but Gao Jin stayed.

"Prince, I have inquired about Ningbo. There is indeed a rebel army occupying Ningbo City, and it is said that it defeated the Fujian Navy. Even the Qinggou Admiral Shi Shipiao was killed."

"This is true?" Yuan Qi asked with a serious face.

"Ninety-nine!" Gao Jin replied. Yuan Qi knew Gao Jin's personality. Since he said it was almost certain that this matter would not be gone. He never expected that a rebel army would do such a big thing in Ningbo, which really surprised him.

"Who is the leader over Ningbo? Have you found out?"

Gao Jin shook his head and said, "I only know that the person's surname is Hong. He is very young. He doesn't know who he is from, which brother from the hall, or where he came from. But please rest assured. I will inquire in time and I will understand the origin of Ningbo."

Yuan Qi nodded and sighed at the same time: "The so-called heroes come from troubled times, there are so many heroes in the world..."
