"The world has suffered a lot from the Qing Dynasty for a long time. Now Yuyao is restored, but the people of other counties and governments are still looking forward to our heavenly soldiers to rescue him. How can I sit still as the Grand Marshal? When the people are in the midst of water and fire, as long as we avoid their sharp edge and accumulate strength as soon as possible, why worry about the great affairs of the world? "

Yuan Qi's words made Zhu Yicheng stunned. I heard Yuan Qi say it clearly before. Now they are far from being able to compete with the officers and soldiers. Why did they say these words again in a blink of an eye? Could it be that Yuan Qi was really blinded by victory and thought that the great cause of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty would be successful?

"Donald Zhongyong, this... this doesn't seem to work? It's already a lucky chance for us to take Yuyao. With our current troops, let alone attacking other county governments, it's probably difficult for even a town? Besides, although Duke Zhongyong blocked the news, the fall of Yuyao will be leaked sooner or later. If the Qing army reacted at that time, we would..." Zhu Yicheng said terrified, with panic and sadness on his face.

"Hahaha! Your Highness may not know yet. Our rebel army is no longer the same as before. Now I have 2,000 soldiers in war, weapons, armor, and rations. In addition, the Hou Pingko has already sent people to contact nearby friendly troops, and can gather in all places to reach tens of thousands of people. Why should I trap Yuyao with this strength? Where can I go in the world?"

Ah! 2000 soldiers? How many people are under Yuan Qi's men? Zhu Yicheng knew clearly that even if he put those healthy women together, there would be no more than 50 people. Why did so many people suddenly come out? Could it be that Yuan Qi would still be able to make tricks when he could walk around the world? Or was he too excited and had hallucinations?

As for the so-called "Pingkoo Hou Gao Jin", I have never seen it since he ascended the throne. Could it be that he had really contacted friendly troops as Yuan Qi said? But even so, they could have brought up nearly 10,000 teams? Zhu Yicheng couldn't believe it.

"Although your highness is relieved, it is getting late. Please rest in this palace. When I finish rectifying the team in the past two days, we will leave Yuyao." Yuan Qi did not explain much. After smiling, he bowed to Zhu Yicheng and said back, leaving only Zhu Yicheng, who was like a mess in his head, and could not understand it.

It was not until late at night that Zhou Zhongliang, who was tired, came to pay a visit. Zhu Yicheng could understand what Yuan Qi said about the 2,000 soldiers.

Yuan Qi's primary task was to plunder gold and silver and recruit soldiers and horses. It was easy to plunder gold and silver, but it was not easy to recruit soldiers and horses. You should know that the world has been peaceful for a long time. The people have been accustomed to being slaves in the Qing Dynasty. After bent for a long time, it seems a bit uncomfortable to straighten them. How could they take the initiative to rebel? Moreover, Yuyao County is a hometown of fish and rice in Jiangnan. Although the court has increased the tax on Jiangnan, the people's lives are still careless and the lives of the people are stable. Before, Siming Mountain was so big that it was suppressed by officers and soldiers. Who would still be optimistic about Yuan Qi and his group? Not to mention holding their heads to join the gang to engage in rebellion.

However, as an old thief and an expert in rebellion, Yuan Qi had his own set. As early as the late Ming Dynasty, various rebellions were full of fire. The Ming army sent troops to destroy them and two more groups would emerge. The rebels could not be killed or killed, and they could not be wiped out.

Even the famous King of Rebellion Li Zicheng was defeated in the Nanyuan War in Tongguan. When he was at its most despair, he only had seventeen cavalry around him. Even to this extent, he quickly pulled up his troops and finally brought millions of troops to sweep the Central Plains and attacked the capital.

It is not surprising to say that the mystery is true. One is that Li Zicheng's family core is still there. With the foundation of his subordinates who are loyal to him, he then adopts the strategy of competing with the people in one place. One is ten, one is a hundred, one is a hundred, one is a thousand, one is a thousand, one is a thousand, one is a thousand... It takes no effort to pull up a huge team like a snowball in a very short time. This is also an important reason why the world was in ruins in the late Ming Dynasty and the rebels could never completely extinguish it.

Of course, Yuan Qi would do this trick, but compared to Li Zicheng's approach to Yuan Qi, he would be much more relaxed. At least he would not go away regardless of men, women, old and young, and then set a torch to burn the entire Yuyao County, so that these people would have no other way except to follow him.

After all, he is now the loyal and brave Duke of the Ming Dynasty. He is the Grand Marshal of the Qing Dynasty. He expelled the captives, restored China, established Ji Chen Gang, and helped the people. He must look like a regular official army no matter what. He cannot do anything that is too bottomless, but it is okay to do other things. Wherever the heavenly soldiers come, except those who are the gangsters who are actively seeking to surrender or those who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos, other people who are unwilling to join the Rebel Army will naturally have ways to persuade them.

For example, "speaking the truth", locking up the other party's parents and young people and "speaking about the great principles of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty" with others, making people "will willingly" join. For example, "taking the initiative" like Wang Zhong, with the blood of the official family in his hand, of course he has a great determination. Or he takes those slits of the warehouse to open grain and release grain and rice that originally belonged to the government and take the initiative to take home the food and rice that were originally from the Qing government, and how can you say you don't fight against the Qing government... These all kinds of strange moves are one by one, and it is not surprising to pull up a group of 2,000 people in Yuyao County.

Moreover, this method is better than the simple Gou Association. After this trouble, almost every household in Yuyao County has a relationship with "following the thief". Even if there is not, these families will become "active" ghosts that others "have taken the initiative".

After recruiting soldiers and buying horses, Yuan Qi used his original team to build the "old camp". The importance of the old camp is self-evident. It can be said that it is Yuan Qi's final trump card and his future capital to compete for the world. All the armor and weapons retrieved from the county were equipped with his old camp. Several blacksmith shops in the county were also making weapons day and night, with the gold, silver and food and grass they copied, and the team they had to pull up. Yuan Qi was now full of energy.

But there is no airtight wall in the world, and Yuyao County was trapped. The news was discovered after only two days of blockade. Although Yuyao County is not a big county, it belongs to a major transportation road. There are not many people coming and going on the official road. The entire county suddenly blocked it for no reason. How could it not attract others' attention? What's more, Yuan Qi recruited soldiers and made great contributions in Yuyao County. He was soon informed of the news of the great change here. When the news reached Ningbo Prefecture, the prefect Zhang Chaozong was shocked when he heard the news. He quickly attracted people to ask for details. At the same time, he sent someone to hurry to find the leader of the Lan Banner of Ningshaotai Road, Zhejiang Province, to discuss.
