Zhu Guoqiang, who was riding on horseback, stared at Tuluizi in the darkness. Tonight, it was time to take advantage of the east wind.

Thinking about the upcoming action, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but think of his nominal fellow sect - Prince Ning.

"Prince Ning raises the bandits!"

Before King Ning rebelled, he also recruited bandits for his own use, using them as his minions to bring trouble to the place, and then used banditry to restore his own bodyguards.

Speaking of which, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty suppressed the feudal kings to the point of resorting to all possible means. Why are so many feudal kings devoted to landscapes, and are quite accomplished in calligraphy, painting, music and even medical skills? To put it bluntly, it is because of the ban on feudal feudal lords.

.

For example, a certain grandson of King Lu, or even a certain collateral lineage, was impeached by the imperial envoy because he was proficient in using bows and arrows, saying that he was disloyal and wanted to rebel. He was then convicted and deposed as a commoner.

His only fault was his proficiency in archery and his ability as a field commander.

Under such circumstances, if Zhu Guoqiang, who is also a member of the clan, wants to join the army, he will simply light a lantern in the latrine and seek death. I am afraid that before he can intervene, the eager envoys over there will eat him alive.

what to do?

The only way is to imitate King Ning and raise the bandits!

"Raise bandits! The purpose of raising bandits is to corrupt the place. Only when the place is corrupted will the gentry and officials write letters one after another asking to train rural soldiers. After all, everyone will always cherish their own lives!"

"But you can't build your reputation by killing people!"

"Killing the common people? How can I be that kind of person? If I want to kill, then I have to kill the bad guy who feeds the common people!"

…

As for Zhu Guoqiang, who is a member of the clan, he actually does not have many choices. After all, under the "perverted" vassal ban of the Ming Dynasty, if there is any slight change, what awaits him will be the high walls of Zhongdu. If he wants to train troops,

There is only one opportunity for honest military training, which is to train rural soldiers. However, if you train according to the regulations of the imperial court, you can only train more than a thousand rural soldiers. But the problem is that you can't even leave the country, you can only maintain law and order locally.

The rural soldiers are simply not enough to watch.

In fact, rural soldiers are regiment training. The Ming Dynasty also had regiment training and it has a long history. However, unlike the regiment training of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they were treated as quasi-regular troops as soon as they started. The regiment training of the Ming Dynasty - rural soldiers can only be used locally. Once they cross the border,

, in serious cases, you can go against the grain.

Therefore, a very interesting phenomenon occurred in history. In the early days of their rebellion, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were often hit hard by the "landlord armed forces", but they repeatedly escaped because the landlord armed forces, that is, the rural soldiers neither dared nor could they pursue them.

This also directly led to Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the others in the early stage of raising their troops, unless they were attacking the gentry's Wei Zhai Tuwei, they would hardly encounter too strong resistance. Even if the resistance in the Wei Zhai Tuwei was tenacious, they could just take a detour and leave. As for

Local rural soldiers are often sent out of the country as gifts, as long as they do not cause harm to the local area.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty learned from this experience. After entering the customs, they immediately issued an order to allow the landlords to go out to intercept the "rebels".

It was Li Zicheng who lived in the Ming Dynasty who really ran into trouble. As a rogue, every step he took would be intercepted and attacked by "landlord armed forces", and behind him were regular field troops of the Qing army. If he went on to reach the end of the road, he would even have no choice but to

It is only natural to be trapped in a barren mountain.

But now...as a bandit!

There is definitely a future!

Except for the few regular armies of the imperial court, the rural soldiers from all over the country can only stay in their local areas. As rogue bandits, they can travel around and continue to grow and develop. Then... well, of course, with the rogue bandits causing trouble in Shandong, Song Xuezhu will naturally also

There is an excuse to train rural soldiers.

But this rogue bandit must not be controlled by others. After all, Zhu Guozhong understands the principle that "bandits are as good as combs". "Raising bandits" may mean that if you keep them well, they will cause trouble.

Since you can't "raise the bandits", then you might as well end it yourself!

Now, our eldest son is no longer worthy, so let’s become a bandit!

Picking up his riding whip, Zhu Guoqiang looked at the more than two hundred cavalrymen around him. Without exception, they were all wearing armor, but outside the armor they were wearing robes of various colors, and the weapons were also in a mess. They looked pretty good.

Something like that.

"Well, it's a thief or a soldier. In fact, it's just a different name..."

Muttering in his heart, Zhu Guoqiang took a deep breath, and then stared at the village in front of him. At this time, the emotions in his heart were extremely complicated. In order to make the first shot, he chose over and over again. Only this one was the most suitable. In fact, there was no need to choose at all.

Almost at the first sight of the list, Zhu Guoqiang had already made up his mind - he had to be the one!

"Remember, after entering the village, a group of people went straight to the big house in the village, and a group of people ran along the road. Just set fire to it, do you understand?"

"My subordinates understand, but if the world's... big boss, if the common people stop him..."

Ding Pengcheng looked at the prince next to him, no, it was the head of the family and said.

Now they are no longer the guards of the Crown Prince, and as for the Crown Prince, he is no longer the Crown Prince, but the head of the family.

"We are Taishan bandits. Tell me, since we are Taishan bandits, what should we do?"

The so-called "Taishan bandits" are actually the common people who have fallen into disgrace on Mount Tai, but at this time we might as well put their reputation to use. Since they are bandits, it is natural that they should use bandit methods.

commanded.

"Raise our flag!"

"okay!"

Listening to the prince's instructions, no, it was the master's order. The guards next to him hurriedly held up the big flag. They saw the big flag made of red cloth with four big characters written on it: "Walking for Heaven."

Looking at the big flag carried by the flag bearer beside him, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but feel happy.

"Dele, now we are the bandits who "do justice for heaven"!"

Speaking of which, this is strange. For Zhu Guoqiang, he breathed a sigh of relief after suddenly becoming a bandit. It seems that everyone has some thoughts of being unconstrained, and Zuoshan

Thieves, bandits, and even mountain kings are not the most comfortable and carefree professions in the world.

In this profession, there are no responsibilities or obligations. Anyway, it is just a big bowl of wine, a big mouthful of meat, and of course... sharing a big bed and a big quilt with others.

"Brothers, remember, from now on, we are the Taishan thieves doing justice for heaven!"

Following Zhu Guoqiang's order, the surrounding cavalry all shouted cheerfully.

"You guys understand!"

As soon as the big guy finished speaking, Zhu Guoqiang pointed the riding crop forward and shouted.
Chapter completed!
