Chapter 60 Subduing

Zhu Hongyi ignored Tong Yangjia's howling and howled, and pushed forward and swung his whip.

After seeing the ten whip, Zhu Hongsan felt much better. He wiped his tears and said, "Hey, I was feeling uncomfortable just now. I felt much better after sucking you."

Tong Yangjia cursed in his heart, "You little thief, why are you doing so sadly?" Of course, this is just thinking about it in your heart. The ten whips just now were terrible."

Zhu Hongsan thought about it and felt that he would save the lives of these two people first. Tong Tuchang didn't care. Tong Yangjia was a talented person, so it was a pity to kill him in vain. He was short of manpower at present, and he was shameless in most of the things he did. Tong Yangjia was a criminal offender in the court, so he would die if he reported himself.

Zhu Hongsan thought of this and said, "Old Tong, I originally wanted to hand you over to the government, but I was very moved by what you said just now. I decided to spare your life and let the two of you follow me in the future."

Tong Yangjia was stunned. He just heard Zhu Hongsan say that he was Lieutenant of Fengguo, and this was a royal family. Why do you keep him for?

When Tong Yangjia thought of this, he couldn't help but ask: "Do you know I'm a criminal offender in the imperial court? Are you not afraid of breaking the law if you keep me?"

Zhu Hongsan said: "Ming Lu can't control me. But if someone reports me, I will say I don't know you are Tong Yangjia. If you deceived you, you will be chopped down with one knife."

Tong Yangjia was so direct to Zhu Hongsan that he had nothing to say. He just whipped himself ten whips for no reason and let Tong Yangjia see that Zhu Hongsan was a moody person. It would be better if he didn't want to suffer any losses. He would talk less. He would talk about what happened in the future.

When Zhu Hongsan saw Tong Yangjia's eyes rolling around, he knew what he was thinking about, and he didn't say it out loud.

At this moment, someone was talking outside, and it turned out that Qian Lide had arrived.

Since Qian Lide took over the gangsters in the county, he has become a sensational figure in the city. No matter who sees it, it will be a compliment.

Qian Lide is now considered a senior manager of Zhu Hongsan's system. He knows some of the arrangements in Zhu Hongsan's secrets, but the more he does this, Qian Lide is more afraid of Zhu Hongsan. A royal family secretly trains the army and builds firearms. What are you going to do? The example of Ning Wang is not far away. But he fell too deeply, and Zhu Hongsan is unlucky and he can't get it. In addition, he really likes this feeling of calling the wind and rain. So after a long time, he becomes numb. What should you do if you like?

Qian Lide entered the door and saw Zhu Hongsan sitting among them and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "I wonder what's wrong with brother asking me for?"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Fatty Qian, you will take this person to the capital city and take his family members to the county town. If you resist, you will be killed."

Qian Lide asked, "Has the whole family killed?"

"Yes, men and women are old and weak, and no chickens and dogs are left."

Qian Lide shivered and led his men to take Tong Tuchang to Wuchang Mansion to recruit people.

When Tong Yangjia heard this, he said angrily: "You are so cruel and use our family to threaten me."

Zhu Hongsan said: "No matter what, it's fine. It depends on your forty years. Can you still give up your son and wander around the world?"

Tong Yangjia felt soft when he thought of his son. He knew that Zhu Hongsan was right. He was 41 this year and had a son just last year. He really couldn't give up.

Tong Yangjia sighed and said, "Sir, tell me. What did you want me to do for you?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "You will know when you go back with me."

Zhu Hongyi was arranged to escort Tong Yangjia downstairs first, Zhu Hong went back to the house and said goodbye to Ma Mingyuan, and then went downstairs to meet Zhu Hongyi and the other three.

I went back and arranged a room for Tong Yangjia to live in first. I and Zhu Hongyi went back to their respective houses.

After returning home, he was naturally interrogated by his two wives. This time, Zhu Hongsan answered honestly, and Ma Xiaofang asked why he came back so early. Zhu Hongsan said: "I think other women are not as beautiful as the two wives, but they really have no sexual interest. Then he said goodbye to his two brothers and went home to accompany his two wives."

Ma Xiaofang laughed and scolded: "I really have a clever mouth, but I don't know if I think so in my heart."

Zhu Hongsan said, "It's true. If you don't believe it, just show it to the two ladies now." After saying that, he took off all his clothes and threw himself at the two ladies. Naturally, he worked hard all night without mentioning it.

The next morning, Qian Lide escorted the two families over. Zhu Hongsan took a look and found that their wives were ordinary people. Tong Yangjia had a son and a daughter, and Tong Tuchang had a son.

Zhu Hongsan nodded and told them that they had already worked for themselves, but they were very tired from work and could not go home often. They asked their families to move to Wuchang County. After that, each family gave 200 taels of silver to settle the house.

Two hundred taels were a huge sum of money to an ordinary family in the Ming Dynasty. The two ladies thanked them very much.

Then Zhu Hongsan asked them to arrange for them to meet. After seeing her husband, the two wives also told her husband to work with the master's house with peace of mind and not to worry about the family.

Zhu Hongsan then asked Qian Lide to prepare two yards in Wuchang County for the two families to live in. Then he secretly told Qian Lide to arrange for people to wait day and night, and if there were any signs of escape, he would be killed immediately.

After seeing off the two families, Zhu Hongsan met Tong Yangjia and Tong Tuchang's uncle and nephew.

Now the two of them have nothing to say, and their families are all in their hands, so they can't do anything to be disobedient.

Zhu Hongsan said: "Mr. Tong can work with me with peace of mind. I have arranged for someone to quit your nephew's Qianhu Office. Please don't think about anything else."

Tong Yangjia sighed and said, "I wonder what lord asked us to do. We have no fame or fugitives, what is the use of us?"

Zhu Hongsan said, "If you don't talk about anything else, it's rare for you to hide in Tibet for nine years. Mr. Tong first worked as a bookkeeper for me, and Mr. Tong and my caravan went out to conduct business for me." After that, someone asked someone to ask Ma Jingyuan and Qian Wanli to come in.

After a while, Ma Jingyuan and Qian Wanli came in, and Zhu Hongsan said to Qian Wanli: "Wanli, this Dong Chang is the clerk I invited, and I will help you in your caravan for the time being." Then he said to Ma Jingyuan: "Third brother, Mr. Dong Yuan is the clerk I invited, so I will help you first." After that, let Ertong go down first.

Zhu Hongsan said: "You must let these two people go and don't run away. As for the others, you can leave them with confidence."

Ma Qian and the other two took the order and led Er Tong to know the work without mentioning it.

After being the clerk of the militia, Tong Yangjia found that this was not a guardian team, it was just an army. When he was talking to his nephew, he knew that his master had a big plan and could produce any gunpowder and steel weapons. In this way, Tong Yangjia, who was already dead, began to get ready again, and he talked with Zhu Hongsan several times later. Tong Yangjia tested Zhu Hongsan for a while, and saw his ambiguous answer, which made Tong Yangjia ecstatic. He had been thinking about revenge on Chongzhen all his life, and he killed his whole family. Otherwise, he would not have gone to the group of refugees to persuade them to surrender to Li Chuang. There was no hope, but he didn't expect that when he met a royal family who wanted to rebel, how could Tong Yangjia not be happy? With a new life goal, Tong Yangjia devoted himself to what he believed to be Zhu Hongsan's great cause of rebellion.

In October of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Feng Ziyong's transfer order finally came down. It was Hengyang Tongzhi. He was replaced by a county magistrate transferred from Lin County. Feng Ziyong said goodbye to the Ma family and happily took office. Zhu Hongsan went away with Ma Ming to pay a visit to the Xin County Magistrate. However, he found that the Xin County Magistrate was not as difficult as he thought.

When he returned home, Ma Mingyuan told himself that he knew that the new county magistrate was selected by the Juren Department. Not to mention that the Ma family had four Jinshis, he could not afford to offend even if he had a Jinshi in his family.

When Zhu Hongsan heard Ma Mingyuan say this, he found that he underestimated the influence of scholars in this era. Thinking of the nodding and bowing to Ma Mingyuan just now, Zhu Hongsan felt that he must seize the ruling class of scholars in the future and must not leave them. They were too terrible. Thinking that Dorgon, the Qing Dynasty, would have to rely on the scholarly landlord class in the future, he could not be creative. Isn’t there a saying that goes, is a madman one step ahead of the times, and is a great man half a step ahead, and is better to be a great man, and he should not be a madman.

After returning home, Zhu Hongsan had nothing to do and devoted himself to the task of training the recruits. Ma Jingyuan did a good job. The recruits recruited young men of fifteen or sixteen. After two years of training, it was the time to use them. Now there are 2,000 people, and Zhu Hongsan is divided into four battalions, each battalion of 500 people, each battalion of 500 people, each battalion of 5 companies, and each company three rows. The battalion commander of the fourth new battalion was a slave of the Ma family, named Ma Bao. He was originally a company commander, but this time he performed well in the bandit suppression and was promoted to battalion commander by Zhu Hongsan.

The reform of the new military system has been completed, and the battalion commanders have been rated as captains, the company commander is a lieutenant, and the platoon commander is a second-class lieutenant. The early participants were second-class lieutenants, and the first battalion that did not go to was first-class lieutenants, and the new recruits have no rank.

Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied with the military system evaluation. Ma Jingyuan wanted to rated himself as captain, but was denied by Zhu Hongsan and did not give Ma Jingyuan any military rank. The reason given to him was that literati could not be the same as Qiu Ba. Ma Jingyuan was so happy that he left satisfied. In fact, Zhu Hongsan didn't want the Ma family to join the army too deeply.

Another thing is that Zhu Hongyi is not a material for secret work. In the past two months, he trained those political workers and soldiers like killers, which made Zhu Hongsan helpless. Finally, he thought of Qian Lide, the leader of the gangster in Wuchang County, and asked him to come over to manage these political workers and soldiers, which made him look a little bit. Qian Lide is not a loss, a genius who does secret work, and he has learned many jobs without a teacher. In less than half a month, he developed a supervision network of more than 50 people, and Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied with this. Finally, he asked him to hand over the work of the county gang to others and his full-time cadre team to supervise the work.

After receiving Tong Yangjia's loyalty, Zhu Hongsan asked Tong Yangjia to take over the logistics work and assigned him two men. The food, drink, defecation and urination of more than 2,000 people in the army were arranged by Tong Yangshao. As the first governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in the Qing Dynasty, could this work be rare? Naturally, the arrangement was organized. Zhu Hongsan was really lucky to find such a talent.
