After the expansion of the new army, even though the Second and Third Divisions were not full, they received a very important mission.
That was the matter of the Eastern Expedition!
The two divisions had a total of ten thousand men, and under the leadership of the division commanders Qiao Juncheng and Wang Xiaoliang, they vowed to set out.
However, less than three days after the two divisions set off, a few people from the Revolutionary Army arrived at Qingzhou City.
In the study of Prince Heng's mansion.
Zhu Youqi, who was sitting behind the desk, could not help but frown when he heard the servant's words. He asked,"What did you say? The commander of the Denglai Revolutionary Army is here to visit?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The blue-clothed manservant nodded." Zhao Shenkuan of Jiaozhou's Revolutionary Army, Qin Shangxing of Pingdu Prefecture's Revolutionary Army, Guo Bapai of Yishui County's Revolutionary Army, and Monk Zhai Wu of Mengyin County's Revolutionary Army have come together." From the looks of it, they want to submit to us!”
"Your Highness, you mustn't!"
Without waiting for Zhu Youqi to speak, the advisor beside him said directly,""There's a saying that the Han rebels can't coexist! These bandits rebelled against our Ming Dynasty and occupied the mountains as kings. Now, they want to submit to us? You mustn't!"
"The Han rebels are not on the same side?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Youqi narrowed his eyes at the aide and asked,""May I ask this gentleman, who is the Han and who is the thief?”
"Wangye,"
The aide said,"Of course we are Han, and bandits are bandits!"”
"What about the Eight Banners?"
Zhu Youyou snorted coldly.
"This…"
The aide was speechless.
After eating for a long time, the aide said,""The Eight Banners are barbarians!"
"Ha, barbarians?"
"Today, I won't argue with you about Hua Yi." Zhu Youyou sneered. This king will ask you a question. The Eight Banners plundered Shandong and occupied the Divine Capital.
Can't you see the legacy of Huaxia?”
"Now, you are saying that the Han and the thief can't coexist in front of this king? This king asks you again, who is the Han and who is the thief? A foreign invasion and the destruction of China's heritage, that's the real thief!”
"If we continue to hold on to the Han bandits and fight to the death, there will be a day when China's inheritance will be stolen by the foreigners!”
Zhu Youqi directly scolded him.
The aide's face turned red and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
"You've read so much that you're in a dog's stomach!”
" Humph!" Zhu Youqi snorted coldly." Send him to the army to cultivate. He will work for a period of time and reflect on himself!"”
After expelling the aide, Zhu Youqi looked at Liu Jingxuan, the magistrate of Qingzhou, and said,""The Eight Banners are powerful, so we can't hold the thought that the Han and the bandits can't coexist. In front of the Eight Banners, we are the same as Chuang Jun and Shun Jun, we are all citizens of the Great Han! We can't fight among ourselves anymore. We have to unite and fight against the enemy together!”
"Pass down my order. As long as you are willing to submit to my Imperial Residence and follow the banner of my Imperial Residence, regardless of your past, all of you are allowed to surrender!”
"Liu Jingxuan, immediately draft a notice in the name of Prince Heng's residence and spread it to Shandong!”
"Understood!"
Liu Jingxuan quickly replied.
Not long after, Zhao Shenkuan, Qin Shangxing, Guo Bapai, Monk Di Wu, and the others came to the study.
Looking at Zhu Youxin sitting behind the desk, the four of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed.
"This commoner greets Your Highness!"
Looking at the four people in front of him, Zhu Youqi quickly said,""Heroes, please rise!"
After calling the four of them to sit down, the four of them did not exchange any pleasantries and directly explained their purpose of coming.
on
Zhu Youqi was naturally very happy to have these four commanders submit to him!
Zhu Youqi immediately stated some of the requirements of the Prince's mansion.
As long as they could pass the examination, they could continue to join the army and stay in the new army.
If they failed the assessment, they would be transferred to the reserve forces and the reclamation forces in batches.
If there were veterans, they would be given land according to the treatment of the common people.
Under such conditions, the four commanders of the Revolutionary Army agreed without hesitation.
With the leadership of these four commanders of the Revolutionary Army, Zhu Youxuan had taken a solid step forward in the Eastern Expedition!
After all, the government troops and rebel troops of the Denglai area were standing side by side.
Although Zhao Shenkuan, Qin Shangxing, and the others weren't the strongest, with them taking the lead, it was a good start for the other rebel armies to submit.
"Wangye,"
Looking at Zhu Youqi, Zhao Shenkuan said,""Before we came to Qingzhou, we had already contacted the various rebel armies in the Denglai area. Most of the heroes had heard of his highness 'name and wanted to sincerely submit. As long as the imperial army advances, they will definitely submit to His Highness!”
"But,"
Zhao Shenkuan hesitated for a moment before continuing,"In the Denglai area, there are still some people who occupy the mountains and forests and rob their homes. These people occupy the mountains and become kings, disobeying the king's orders. We've already found out the fake number, and we'll offer it to your highness!”
As he spoke, Zhao Shenkuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Youqi.
Zhu Youqi was stunned when he received the paper.
He had not expected that these commanders of the Revolutionary Army would be so well-prepared.
If this news was true, this Eastern Expedition would be much easier!
For Zhu Youqi, Denglai Land
There was still a lack of information about some mountain villages in the region!
The art of war says: know yourself and know your enemy, only then can you fight a hundred battles without defeat!
These villages were located deep in the mountains and forests, and there was no sign of human habitation. For Zhu Youqi, he was completely clueless.
Now, with the information on Zhao Shenkuan and the others, it could be said that it was a timely help!
Looking at the contents of the paper, Zhu Youxin nodded slightly and said,""It's very detailed! Not bad, not bad!"
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness!"
Zhao Shenkuan hurriedly thanked him.
"Zhao Shenkuan,"
"Since you've investigated the situation in the Denglai area so thoroughly, you must have an idea, right?" Zhu You Xin asked with a smile.”
"Hehe."
"Your Highness," Zhao Shenkuan said with an embarrassed smile,"I do have an idea." Actually, it was simple. Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys! "Since some of the villages want to continue to occupy the mountains and become kings because of the dangerous terrain, we can destroy them with lightning speed and intimidate the rebels to force the other rebel armies to submit as soon as possible!”
"As for the government troops in the Denglai region, they will definitely come and submit to the king!”
Hearing Zhao Shenkuan's words, Zhu Youqi smiled and said nothing.
Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
This plan was also the plan that the new army of the Prince's Mansion had come up with.
However, using this strategy, he might be able to take back the rebel army.
It would be a little difficult to get the government troops from all over the country to submit!
After all, the local armies were still under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court.
Even though the Divine Capital had fallen, news came from Yingtian City not long ago that King Fu had ascended the throne and the Hongguang Regime had been established.
As King Heng, he was a distant branch of the royal family after all, so he had to abide by the Imperial Ancestral Rules. If I order the Shandong government troops to return
Prince Shun's estate would probably be extremely difficult!
If things went wrong, he might even be rejected by the local government troops.
Therefore, the most troublesome thing for Zhu Youqi was the local government troops!
However, no matter how troublesome it was, in order to stabilize the base, this matter had to be done!
