Chapter 112 Lu Wang Zhu Yihai
After hearing Ye Bushou’s report, Zhu Cilang was furious and said, “Isn’t there Liu Zeqing in Shandong? Where did this guy go? Isn’t Shu Zi claiming to have an army of 100,000? A month ago, his father asked him to go to Beijing to serve the king, and he pushed him to stop him. Now Jiannu has entered the pass, and this guy is gone!”
Ye Bushou said, "Your Highness, the lowly ranks have been discovered. Not to mention Jiannu has entered the pass, he broke into Beijing a month ago. This guy was so scared that he crossed the Yellow River to Huai'an! At this time, this guy might be blackmailing salt merchants in Huai'an to make a fortune."
Recalling that Chongzhen issued an order to ask Liu Zeqing to go to Beijing to serve the king, and this guy pushed him to the death of his father, Zhu Cilang rushed to his head in anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Zeqing! If you don't kill you, I will not be a human being!"
From Lingshanwei to Xuzhou, we went along the way, and there was an unmanaged state of anarchy along the way. Originally, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty in Shandong had already run away. After the Qing army arrived in Jinan, they had not yet reached here. All this was all because of Zhao Peng, a butterfly wings that flapped his mobs. Zhao Peng, a stubborn stubborn hindering ethnic integration, viciously released rumors, slandering Hong Chengchou, a hero who promoted ethnic integration, and released vicious rumors, saying that the patriotic hero Hong Chengchou wanted to lead the Qing army to shave their heads. As a result, in history, the Qing army arrived in Shandong, and the scene of the gentry and people ate pots and welcomed the king's army did not appear. All the gentry and people heard that the Qing army was coming, just like mice smelling the smell of cats, and those who were left were all stubborn resisters.
For example, reactionaries such as Ren Qi, Zhang Qi, Li Huajing, Fan Shenxing, etc. who stubbornly hindered ethnic integration used large elm forests as bandit nests and dug tunnels under the elm forests to block the Qing Dynasty royal army that came to promote ethnic integration, making it difficult for our powerful King of Qing Dynasty. At the same time, because of Zhao Peng's vicious rumors, local gentry stood with these bandits and stubbornly resisted the Qing Dynasty royal army.
You should know that Hong Chengchou is a great hero who strives to promote national integration. Later generations also established a hero Hong Chengchou Memorial Park in Nan'an, Fujian to commemorate this great hero who promoted national integration. The stubborn Ming Dynasty reactionary Zhao Peng did his best to slander and slander Hong Chengchou, the great hero, was really unforgivable.
The Yuyuan Army's anti-Qing and restoration of Ming Dynasty was originally initiated in the second year of Shunzhi, after Dorgon issued a comprehensive hair shaving order. Because of Zhao Peng's butterfly wings, the gentry and the people were afraid of shaving their hair. As a result, the Yuyuan Army's uprising broke out early. Ren Qi, Zhang Qi, Li Huajing and Fan Shenxing and other reactionaries who stubbornly resisted the Qing Dynasty colluded with King Lu Zhu Yihai to form a bandit army in Shandong and other places to resist the Qing Dynasty's royal army.
The thief army was very complex, including Zhu Yihai's escorts, slaves and tenants, local poor peasants, original military households, horse bandits, and mountain bandits, as well as Shandong gentry and landlord armed forces. In short, it was a mob.
Because of the stubborn resistance of the Yuyuan Army, the Qing army was unable to take over the entire Shandong and Henan for a while. Therefore, after leaving the defense line of the Lenbuk Group, Zhao Peng and his group were unobstructed along the way.
The new army of Jinyi and 4,000 infantry marched southwest along the seaside hilly terrain on the southern foot of the Yimeng Mountains. When they marched to Yizhou, Zhao Peng sent his night to report: "Report to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, Princess, and Prince Consort, an army appeared in front of him. Under the banner of King Zhu Yihai of Lu, he looked at his clothes, but he was not the Ming army, but like a thief."
Zhao Peng asked, "What are they dressing?"
Ye Bu took back: "Most of the people dressed in civilians, only a red turban wrapped around their heads, and some people wore tattered mandarin duck battle jackets and light yellow felt hats; a few people wore six-petal steep iron helmets, cotton armor or leather armor, and a very small number of people wore six-petal steep iron helmets and iron leaf armor. Just now, a two hundred people were in an army of two hundred people, about 120 people dressed in civilians, more than 60 people dressed in military households, eighteen people wore cotton armor, and three people wore iron armor."
Zhao Peng thought about it and said, "Since it's Zhu Yihai's banner, why not come forward and ask."
Crown Prince Zhu Cilang was furious: "The Ming Dynasty ancestor system, the vassal kings are not allowed to mercenaries! The bold Zhu Yihai is the crime of killing the clan!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince calmed down," Zhao Peng quickly advised, "This time, another time, Chengzu made this rule back then, because he was worried about the rebellion of the local vassal kings during the Peace period, but now it is very different. It is a big trend of chaos in the world, and if we stick to the rules, it will only be detrimental to our army."
What else Zhu Cilang wanted to say, but Princess Kunxing advised: "Brother of the prince, Zhao Lang's words are reasonable. All the vassal kings are my Zhu brothers. When the enemy is in front of them, they should share the same hatred of the enemy. If the brothers fight against each other, they can only give advantage to outsiders! Brothers of the prince might as well make some changes and allow the descendants of the royal family under the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty to form a vassal king army to resist Jiannu! When the world is pacified, it will not be too late to try to reduce the vassal."
"The prince-in-law is right. This makes me show my name to express my banner. Let's meet the soldiers of King Lu to see what he intends." Zhu Cilang thought for a moment and felt that the words of his sister and brother-in-law were very reasonable. Especially in the current situation, the father and mother are no longer there, and the two younger brothers are gone, and the only relatives are left beside him. After he fell to Nanjing, it can be said that he has no power at all. The only person he can rely on is his brother-in-law, so he decided to show his banner to meet King Lu.
The prince's army showed the banner of Prince Zhu Cilang and drove towards Yizhou City.
Originally, after Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu in history, heard that Li Zicheng was about to send troops to Shandong, so he had long been frightened to escape to the sea. However, because of Zhao Peng's time travel, Li Zicheng did not go south to Shandong. Zhu Yihai, who escaped to the sea, ran back. As a result, he happened to meet the local Yuyuan Army formed due to the rumors spread by Zhao Peng. The Yuyuan Army respected Zhu Yihai as the governor, so he arrived in Yizhou.
The Yuyuan army had long since received the banner of the prince at night, and returned to the city to report to King Zhu Yihai, the King of Lu.
"Prince, a force appeared fifteen miles away in front of me. It was under the banner of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty. There were more than 5,000 infantrymen and more than 2,000 Jinyiwei." Ye Bucheng reported.
"The prince's banner? There are two thousand Jinyiwei? If it is broken, I'm afraid it's not here to capture me?" Zhu Yihai was scared and sweated in cold sweat. His whole body was trembling, and beads of sweat dripped from his head. You know, there was a lesson from the Tang Dynasty King Zhu Youjian. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Qing army invaded, and Zhu Youjian sent troops north to serve the king. Who knew that when Chongzhen learned about it, he was furious and sent the Jinyiwei to prison, deposed as a commoner, and escorted him to Fengyang to guard the tomb.
Zhu Yihai was originally a timid and cowardly person, and he was incomparable to Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian had courage and later became Emperor Longwu, but Zhu Yihai was cowardly. Even if Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan supported him, he would not dare to compete with King Gui Zhu Youlang. He obediently regarded Zhu Youlang as Emperor Yongli. He hid on Kinmen Island and ate sweet potatoes for half his life. He was called the King of Sweet Potato Vajra.
Zhu Yihai, who was as timid as a mouse, was so scared that he heard that the prince came with the Jinyiwei. The two thousand Jinyiwei scared him out of his urination, and he also knew that his mobs were no match for the two thousand Jinyiwei. In fact, even if he held tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he would not dare to intercept His Royal Highness's soldiers. This person was so timid.
"Prince, Your Highness the Crown Prince is about to enter the city." Someone came in to report again.
