Author's note: Today is a weekend, a respectable lady is invited to have dinner. The normal update will not be updated-

On the first day of December, the year is in sight. Deng Ming’s most important thing now is to urge the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming army to attack Dengzhou Prefecture City. At this time, the heroes of Yashan finally figured out the situation. It was not that the Qing army surrounded them planned to withdraw to Dengzhou for the New Year, but that the Qing Dynasty army that drove from Laizhou planned to invade Dengzhou to celebrate the New Year. The commander of the Qing Dynasty army to destroy the Ming army was nominally Gao Yunxuan, a young hero from Yashan, and the actual commander was Deng Ming, the famous Ming Dynasty Duke Baoguo. It took a long time for the heroes of Yashan to clarify the chaotic relationship here, but until they sent troops, many heroes still did not understand why the Ming Dynasty Baoguo Guild led the Qing Dynasty to the territory of the Qing army to implement the great cause of "destroying the Ming Dynasty".

After celebrating, Yu Qi, Zhang Dingnan and other heroes ordered their men to continue to transport food into the mountain village of Yashan, and at the same time persuaded the people to leave the mountain village. In this way, if the Qing army's great cause of destroying the Ming Dynasty failed and Zu Zepu made a comeback, the Yashan base area could last longer. However, the people refused to leave because their houses outside were burned up by Jieshu's Central Army, and they did not have any food to store food to survive this winter. Moreover, because of this battle of defending Yashan, the heroes lost confidence in the seven leaders. Even if they drove these people out of the mountainous areas and when the Qing army came back, they would still be driven in. At that time, Yu Qi would most likely refuse to watch his fellow villagers starve to death.

Therefore, the troupe finally had a showdown with Yu Qi, wanting everyone to follow him to continue working. But first of all, we must try to reorganize the army of the Qing Dynasty from Deng Ming to "Alliance of Ming Dynasty and Destroy Qing Dynasty" to "Alliance of Ming Dynasty and Destroy Qing Dynasty" army. This is a strong army that can capture the city. With such a strong army in hand, the chance of getting recruited will be much greater. However, most clear-minded leaders do not have any hope for this matter, because there are soldiers in troubled times, so it is not easy to let the Duke Baoguo give the army to him for free. If this is not done, it is forgot, but everyone asked Yu Qi to give the villagers who defected to Duke Baoguo. These tens of thousands of people who have families have no use except for eating, and they are not willing to leave.

In front of Yu Qi, it was not impossible to force his fellow villagers to leave with a knife, but this would break up. So everyone asked Yu Qi to take all these people to Deng Ming, which was considered a friendly army sent by Yashan to support. This not only allowed the big bag to be thrown out, but also used military rations and someone to manage food to tempt them to leave willingly. With Deng Ming's care, Yu Qi would not have to worry that they could not survive this winter.

After learning that tens of thousands of Yashan reinforcements were coming, and their commander Yu Qi personally led the army, Deng Ming ordered the allies to prepare the highest standard treatment. Deng Ming was indeed planning to hand over the Qing army to Yu Qi for command. He himself could not stay in Jiaodong forever. There were many heroes in the army, and Yu Qi was also his own person to the gentry of Shandong. The only problem was that Yu Qi was not high enough, so if Deng Ming wanted to buy it, he had to help Yu Qi establish his prestige. For example, to solve the problem of military leadership, Deng Ming was unwilling to leave by himself, and the rebels here in Shandong were in a pot of porridge again, which would only make the Qing court cheaper.

Before the arrival of the Qi army, Deng Ming sent a condolence group in advance, including not only Xing Zhisheng and Wu Yue'er, but also Xia Jie and Xia Juren. Although Xia Jie was not the highest-ranking gentry in the army that supported the Qing Dynasty and destroyed the Ming Dynasty, he followed Deng Ming early, so he had experienced a person and seemed to be a person.

While sending an envoy, Deng Ming also began to vent his temper in the army, saying that he believed that the military leader of Jiaodong was the seven.

However, Deng Ming had only been blowing the wind for a day, and Xia Jie and other gentry who were sent to welcome Yu Qi slipped back. After the gentry gathered together for a while, they came to ask for a meeting with Deng Ming. After seeing Deng Ming, the gentry said in unison that they could not obey Yu Qi's leaders, and they would never hand over the army to support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming Dynasty to this person.

"If the Duke of the State does not serve as the admiral of Deng and the two prefectures, the villain will take the villagers home." An impatient gentry in Dengzhou said that he had just joined the Qing Dynasty to destroy the Ming army and the Qing Dynasty's House for a few days. If he had given up his burden now, it would probably be less likely to be pursued by the Qing court afterwards.

In the past, if such remarks appeared, if Deng Ming did not need to speak, other gentry would charge the spokesperson for "Tong Deng". If persuasion and education did not work, this stubborn guy would be dragged out and beheaded. But today other gentry did not react and still showed a vague sense of agreement.

"Why is this?" Deng Ming was shocked.

Although these people were fence-bearers and boarded the pirate ship, no one wanted to be the first bird. Since ancient times, the rule has been to shoot the first bird. Although the law does not blame the masses, it may force the Qing court to pardon the rebellious gentry, but the leader probably cannot escape. The emperor's idea is very clear. If the leader can get well, there will be more people who will lead the trouble in the future. Therefore, even in an unjust case, those who take the lead in shouting for justice will not escape death; and the masses' idea is also very simple. Making trouble is usually because they can't bear it. Everyone's wish is to get reasonable compensation and let the government restrain appropriately. Since the goal has been achieved, the leader's elder brother is in trouble and has no choice but to give him a glass of wine during the holidays in the future.

Deng Ming knew that the purpose of these gentry was to recruit and survive, so he was obviously contrary to their ambitions as the military leader of Jiaodong. Therefore, Deng Ming proposed Yu Qi as a candidate and was unanimously agreed by the gentry. Anyway, the gentry had good control over his children and was also a provider of food and grass and military pay. He did not worry that Yu Qi did not pay attention to the opinions of the House of Commons. In addition, he was a famous thief, so he just asked him to go to the jar.

"Yu Qi is not a hero." A gentleman said in a low voice. After seeing Deng Ming's gaze swept over, the gentleman pointed at Xia Jie: "You will know when the Duke asked Mr. Xia."

"What's going on?" Deng Ming asked with a smile. His purpose was to promote the Jiaodong Army to achieve long-term internal stability as much as possible, and forcibly suppressing everyone's consent to his opinions was useless.

"Yu Qi's main force is still in Yashan. He brought tens of thousands of refugees here." Xia Jie didn't even have a respectful title and immediately told him what he saw and heard. He had just repeated it in succession to other gentry.

The rebel army obviously had no sense of confidentiality, and the tens of thousands of mobs brought by Yu Qi did not have the ability to keep it confidential, so when Xia Jie and others arrived in Yu Qi's army, they understood his situation over the past six months.

After hearing that Yu Qi took all the people who drove the Qing army away, Deng Ming shook his head slightly: "Yu Qi is so soft-hearted, he is indeed not a top-notch figure."

"The Duke said it well." The other gentry agreed after hearing this. If it were just this, it would be fine. The problem was that Yu Qi's military ability and control ability were all lacking in contentment, which completely disappointed the gentry.

After Xia Jie finished his story, Deng Ming did not give more comments, but meditated: "These tens of thousands of people Yu Qi actually wanted to throw them to me. There were still people who rebelled and were afraid that they could not afford to raise them to find food. Besides, these people all had a grudge against the Qing army to destroy their families. What a good soldier, it was much more useful than his friends in the martial arts world."

However, after hearing that Yu Qi wanted to support these people, Deng Ming was also a little angry: "Does Yu Qi think I am his training center? Throw the unwanted burden to me and take away the army you need. No wonder the gentry looked down on him... But wait, what are these gentry heroes doing?"

"Aren't you going to recruit peace?" Deng Ming asked. He knew that what these gentry really needed was a tall man who could carry under the sky, and Yu Qi's reputation fully met the requirements: "What does it have to do with you if Yu Qi can fight?"

"That's not to let him ruin the army. If he ruined his family's fortune, why would the prison court recruit us?" Everyone who stayed with Deng Ming for a long time had symptoms of schizophrenia. Compared to Dong Weiguo, these gentry were all rural people who had never traveled far away, so the disease occurred faster and the symptoms appeared earlier: "If the Qing army was gone, we would not be able to receive the court's amnesty, but would be killed by the Tartars!"

In addition to this concern, the recent victory of the Qing army in the periphery of Dengzhou has also made the gentry feel other. Some people can't help but think that if the Qing army does not support the Qing army and changes it to the Ming army, then will the Duke Baoguo be in the Longting court in the future, and they will be able to become successful? Many young scholars have also been inspired by the continuous victory. They dared not resist the court before, because they knew that the Tartars were cruel. Now the Qing army is not his opponent, so why should they shave their heads?

After understanding the reasons for the gentry's opposition, Deng Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the gentry did not want to break up. If the gentry broke up, everyone would be taken away. They just came to threaten Deng Ming, and perhaps there was a hint of loyalty.

"I can't stay in Shandong for too long, and the Qing army always needs an admiral," Deng Ming said with some embarrassment: "If you don't look for Yu Qi, who will do it?"

Of course, no one in the audience dared to take on this stalemate. Although he looked down on Yu Qi, he probably had no one with his ability. At least he could incite more than 100,000 people to incite the uprisings, and the appeal of these gentry was limited to their clans and tenants.

"I understand all your concerns. Before I leave, I will talk to Yu Qi seriously. If he really cannot entrust with important tasks, then I will choose another virtuous person." Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Deng Ming knew that he had to give them some sweetness: "Well, since you all respect me, I cannot go against everyone's wishes. Before I leave Shandong, I will be the admiral of the Qing Dynasty and Misfor Ming."

The gentry cheered with satisfaction. Although the current plan still requested peace, Baoguo Duke was so young that he could defeat Zu Zepu's entire army by bringing hundreds of people to Shandong. He could only guide everyone to block the troops of Dengzhou from their homes. It is really unknown in the world. If Deng Ming enters the Forbidden City in the future, the name of the gentry's army would be a bit ugly. Although it can be said that he obeyed the instructions of Baoguo Duke, it is still difficult to say whether others would accept it at that time. Now Baoguo Duke is the admiral of the Qing Dynasty's army, then this hidden danger will be completely eliminated, and the Qing Dynasty's army will become a unit created by Miao Honggenzheng and was created by Baoguo Duke.

"I said before that you need to recommend this admiral to the Qing court. Since the purpose is to recruit peace, you must take a formality." Deng Ming looked around everyone present: "Who would like to start and recommend me to the Qing court as the admiral to support Qing Qing and destroy the Ming army?"

The scene was in an embarrassing silence again, and no one was willing to come forward to be the leader. You can see it without being too smart with political wisdom. This recommendation is tantamount to a slap in the face of the Qing court. The leader is probably hated by the Qing court.

"Since that's the case, I'll start this." Deng Ming smiled bitterly. These people are still fence-bearing and can't count on them for the time being.

So Deng Ming immediately wrote a stamp, which recommended to the Qing court that he was the admiral of the Qing army to support the Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming army, led Jiaodong to be loyal to the court, eliminated those who were ill-behaved and ill-hearted, and left no thieves to worry about the Holy Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Naturally, the signature was still the name of the Han general.

The day after the stamp was sent away, Yu Qi rushed to Deng Ming's military camp. After hearing that Deng Ming wanted him to accept the support of the Qing Dynasty and destroy the Ming army, Yu Qi was shocked and could not believe that such a good thing was possible.

"But I was actually appointed, and this is not the army that I have the final say." Deng Ming patiently explained to Yu Qi, and with some help from Gao Yunxuan and others, Yu Qi quickly realized that half of the actual control of this army was in the hands of the gentry. As time goes by, I am afraid that the proportion of the gentry's power will increase.

"These gentry probably thought about letting General Yu take the blame, so that they could be more confident in escaping the Qing court." Deng Ming felt that there was no need to hide the gentry's psychology. Yu Qi would sooner or later see that if he didn't explain it now, he would only be more angry in the future. It would be better to make it clear when he was now: "And at that time I must resign. I am the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and I cannot accept the recruitment of the Qing court, so at that time, the position of admiral Yu can only be appointed as General Yu. Although the gentry has their own calculations, in my opinion, with such an army in hand, General Yu will have a greater chance of recruiting him, right?"

After careful consideration, Yu Qi also recognized Deng Ming's statement that if he had not supported the Qing Dynasty and destroyed the Ming army, he and the heroes of Yashan were now the same as the dead fish. After this experience, Yu Qi also realized that he had not allowed the Qing Dynasty to show mercy at all. Therefore, no matter whether he was used by the gentry or not, Yu Qi needed to gain more bargaining chips for himself, and the position of admiral who supported the Qing Dynasty and destroyed the Ming Dynasty was obviously very valuable.

Since Yu Qi agreed, the next thing was to help Yu Qi establish his prestige.

When Gao Yunxuan was given the title of general, Deng Ming always gave orders to officers in front of him. Now that Yu Qi has arrived, Deng Ming appointed him as his deputy, serving as the admiral of the Qing Dynasty and the Ming army. He often appeared at the military meeting after private discussions with Yu Qi, and asked Yu Qi to read some orders and lines that Deng Ming taught him in advance.

The most urgent task is to besiege Dengzhou. Now the Qing army is firmly advancing towards the capital. After seeing the unique lineup of the Qing army, the green camp troops retreating to Dengzhou wanted to defeat them first and weaken Deng Ming. Until now, many green camps have identified Deng Ming's main force with tens of thousands. However, these Qing army, which were regarded as soft persimmons by the green camp, are much more powerful than they imagined. The tenants are hard-working and hardworking, and obey all the various orders of the boss unconditionally, and do not know how to cheat.

It does not require any tactical qualities to tie the enemy through the wooden fence. It is compared to whose soldiers are more obedient, and they are more diligent and hardworking and not lazy. After a few battles, the Green Camp was defeated. Although there were not many casualties, their morale fell to the bottom. Now the Fuqing Army was digging trenches around Dengzhou City and building camps. With the support of local gentry, they quickly dug trenches around Dengzhou - Deng Ming felt that they could have been dug under the city wall and blasted them, but the gentry refused. They hoped that the Green Camp would go out of the city to attack their camps. If the Green Camp did not come out, they would surround Dengzhou and then blow up the walls. If they didn't fight into the city, they would not give the other party a chance to fight back and turn the tables.

However, the slogan Deng Ming also has a good temptation, which is "Let the children go home on New Year's Eve". It is very strange to call Dajian with "children". However, Deng Ming has not been in Shandong for a long time and has done more strange things than the ones of these alliances have seen, so this is not too much.

There are indeed many people who are looking forward to returning home for the New Year, but the war will not end at that time. In the first lunar month, soldiers are probably unwilling to kill people before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they are in trouble for a year - even the government will not execute criminals during this period.

The biggest trouble is the tens of thousands of refugees brought by Yu Qi. Deng Ming cannot support or transport them away, and the gentry is unwilling to take care of them because they are obviously not as reliable as their own tenants. If they cannot expand their own land, there is no need for the gentry to recruit a large number of people.

Deng Ming felt that this was a problem that must be solved, so he asked Yu Qi to continue to command the besiege of Dengzhou Prefecture. He returned to Laizhou and discussed the issue of refugee resettlement with the Jiaodong Gentleman House, which was temporarily established there. The overall situation in Dengzhou has been basically determined, and the ability of the Gentleman Alliance to supplement and mobilize is not something that the Dengzhou government can compete with. Now that it has been brought into the stage of a war of attrition, it is only a matter of time before the fall of Dengzhou City. Deng Ming simply gave up this opportunity to gain reputation to Yu Qi.

On December 10, when Deng Ming returned to Laizhou, he unexpectedly encountered the second wave of envoys sent by Beijing. Before leaving Laizhou, Deng Ming had already met the first wave of envoys in Beijing. At that time, Deng Ming expressed in front of the gentry that he did not oppose peace talks, and also regarded ensuring the safety of the Qing people in Jiaodong as one of the terms.

However, Beijing sent messengers rather than diplomats. They had no promise or negotiation power and could only bring Deng Ming's request back to Beijing.

After seeing Deng Ming this time, the envoy seemed very angry. Deng Ming's series of complicated actions dazzled Beijing, and now he finally found some of the taste, that is, Deng Ming wanted to overthrow the liberated official system and restore the typical wealthy electoral system of the Han Dynasty on the territory of Jiaodong.

"Duke Baoguo is not only a Duke who is the victorious dynasty (a honorific title for the Ming Dynasty), but also a dignified royal family. How could he have the intention of changing his official position to a local official?"

"Who said I was a clan member of the Ming Dynasty?" Deng Ming asked with a smile and cry. On the land of Shandong, several prince Zhu Er who pretended to be his brother appeared: "Which king am I behind?"

"It doesn't matter which king you are after the victory of the dynasty, but the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty has already issued an edict to the world to recognize the Duke as a genuine Ming royal family." The envoy replied with confidence.
