Why does Zhuqizi take the remote Ruzhou as its first goal?

There are a lot of reasons for this.

The main reason is that Li Zicheng.

Because Li Zicheng had already rushed out of the mountains with thousands of people and rushed to Henan.

However, Li Zicheng did not choose a poor place like Ruzhou, he chose two rich places, namely Henan Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture.

This guy may have been suffocated in the mountains, or maybe he has been planning in the mountains for a long time. After leaving the mountains, he plundered wildly and opened warehouses and released grain to attract hungry people. The hungry people from far and near were carrying hoes. Those who responded were like flowing water, day and night, calling a million, but their momentum was steep and could not be beaten.

Soon, his army grew to tens of thousands.

If this guy encircles millions of hungry people to attack Nanyang, it will be troublesome. At this moment, the hungry people are all desperate people. In addition, with the thief leader Li Zicheng, they dare to steal everything and do anything. Wherever they pass, it is even more terrible than locusts passing through the border.

Therefore, Li Zicheng cannot be allowed to carry the hungry people to go south and harm Nanyang.

Ruzhou is just stuck between Henan Prefecture, Kaifeng Prefecture and Nanyang Prefecture, and it is densely covered with mountains and forests, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is just used as a buffer.

More importantly, after Li Zicheng grows stronger again, he will definitely conquer Luoyang.

Because there is a rich and prosperous king in Luoyang City.

At that time, Wanli was a waste of the world and was rich in Fu. In order to make his precious son live a comfortable life, Wanli gave almost all the gold, silver and treasures he collected to Fu. He also gave him fiefs and salt, and there were no miscellaneous taxes in various places, so that people at that time called Luoyang "rich in the country", which means that this guy was richer than the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty court is poor now because of the severe droughts and wars that have been everywhere, and money is spent everywhere. King Fu is different. This guy is just a rooster, the kind who never loses his penis. After so many years, he doesn't know how much wealth he has accumulated.

Zhu Qizhuo is very clear. Li Zicheng will definitely attack Luoyang and rob the King of Fu. This guy did this in history.

He naturally had to join in the fun and get a share of the pie.

At this time, Ruzhou became more important, because the back boundary of Ruzhou was less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang. In order to make money, he naturally had to set off this passage first.

At this moment, the main force of the Ming army had been transferred to Sichuan by Yang Sichang, and there were no officers and soldiers in the whole of Henan. Naturally, there were no officers and soldiers guarding small places like Ruzhou Prefecture.

Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ai Nengqi each led 10,000 troops to the north along Funiu Mountain and soon entered Ruzhou. They did not show up immediately because there were many mountains in Ruzhou, and the Secret Guards had already made it clear that they could sneak up on their respective targets from the forest under the leadership of the Secret Guards.

To put it bluntly, they just wanted to launch a sneak attack.

In history, Li Dingguo even captured the important town of Xiangyang, which shows how good they are at sneak attacks.

After the four little guys secretly approached their respective targets with their men and horses, they selected dozens of elite masters according to the tactics formulated by Li Dingguo, dressed as woodcutters who chopped wood, carried firewood, and hid weapons in it, and mingled into the city without knowing it.

One night, the four counties of Lushan, Baofeng, Yiyang and Jiaxian were inexplicably taken down by them!

The next morning, they each brought a few masters, pretending to be yamen runners and other constellations, rode their horses first, ran all the way to Ruzhou Prefecture City.

Before the Ruzhou magistrate could react, what was going on, the city gates were occupied by these guys pretending to be in a hurry to report the news.

There are no officers and soldiers in Ruzhou at this moment. The temporary recruitment of the townspeople are not the opponents of these guys. Li Dingguo is a master who can kill seven in and seven out against tens of thousands of elite Eight Banners. Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi are not much worse than him. It can be said that the hundreds of townspeople in Ruzhou are not enough for the four of them to get stuck in their teeth!

They each brought a few of their masters to guard the city gates everywhere. When their subordinates rushed over, they easily took down Ruzhou Prefecture City.

These guys are too reckless!

Where can the battle be fought like this?

Zhu Qizhuo, who rushed over after hearing the news, not only did not praise them, but instead caught them and taught them a hard lesson.

He didn't want the generals he had trained to lose their lives because of his recklessness.

Ruzhou City, in the lobby of the magistrate's yamen, Zhu Qizhe sat high in the main seat. Li Yan, Li Jingbai and his son, Song Yingsheng and other civil officials stood neatly on the left. Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi lowered their heads and were scolded there.

Zhu Qizhuo said angrily: "You said, are you fighting like this? At night, attacking Lushan, Baofeng, Yiyang and Jiaxian County, I won't talk about you, because those four small counties do not have much guards, and it is no problem for each of you to lead dozens of masters to raid secretly. But Ruzhou is also a prefecture city at least, with hundreds of guards. You guys just led a few masters to rush over to grab the city gate, looking for death!"

The four little guys lowered their heads and said nothing, but the expressions on their faces obviously didn't care much.

Just hundreds of brave men, what is there?

Even hundreds of elite Ming army soldiers can do it!

Zhu Qizhuo said with a little regret: "You think you are invincible in the world, right? Tell you, you are lucky and happened to meet the wine bag of Ruzhou magistrate. If you meet me, even dozens of village warriors can deal with you. Not to mention the superb strategy, each person will take a few bags of lime and keep smashing it on your head. How can you resist?"

Uh, is that vicious?

When the four little guys heard this, their faces finally changed a little color.

Zhu Qizhuo advised with great thoughts: "You know that swords have no eyes, do you know? Even if you have high martial arts skills, you cannot be so reckless. When fighting, you rely on military tactics, military morale, military merit, military merit, orders and prohibitions, and excellent equipment. No one said that a few masters can win a big battle. You are the main generals, not guerrillas or vanguards. In the future, you should think more about how to win by normal means. Don't always think about winning by your own martial arts. Do you know?"

The four little guys nodded quickly and said, "I understand, I understand."

Zhu Qizhuo shook his head slightly and sighed, finally not talking about them anymore.

Seeing this, Li Jingbai hurriedly bowed and said, "Prince, please ask, how are you going to manage Ruzhou?"

The little prince said he wanted him to come over to govern Ruzhou, but he ran over and caught four little guys and taught him a lesson, as if he had forgotten all the business.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qizhi turned his face upright, nodded slightly and said, "Well, Mengsu, I will be wronged to be the governor for a while in the future."

There is nothing wrong with this magistrate. I have been the magistrate. The question is, how do you ask me to govern Ruzhou? It will definitely not work according to the imperial court.

Li Jingbai said sincerely: "The officials followed the prince just to do their best to the people. Whether it is the magistrate or the magistrate, as long as the prince says, the officials are obliged to do so. Now the problem is that we do not have the Ministry of Personnel, nor are there any idle Juren and Jinshi. In this state, there are so many subordinates, so how can we arrange it? I would like to ask the prince to show his advice."

Oh, it turns out that's the problem.

Zhu Qizhuo thought for a while, then pondered: "I asked the Secret Guard to prepare a list. All the gentry and landlords in Ruzhou are on the list. Whoever is kind and generous and who is not kind and rich is not kind, is written clearly on it. Originally, I thought that those who are kind and generous will not need to be cared for, just copy those who are not kind and rich. Now it seems that these kind and generous and generous must be cared for. This is how you recruit them to understand one by one according to the list. If you feel it is appropriate, then arrange a position for them."
