Zhu Yigui did have some talent for leading troops. In Punan Town, Zhu Yigui recruited all the strong men, and his subordinates rose from the first more than 300 to more than 3,000. Then Zhu Yigui led his troops to Fuchuan and Fengshan. The same trick repeated the local garrison, and then he recruited several thousand people. Then he turned around and ran to Shiting. Then he made a big fuss in Guokeng with a thunderous force. When the Qing army reacted, Zhu Yigui led his people straight to Yancuo. When he took Yancuo, his subordinates expanded to 50,000 like blowing balloons.

"This... where did this Zhu Yigui come out?" Nian Gengyao's hands trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes when he looked at the military newspaper. In just half a month, such a large number of rebels emerged under his nose, and the people below him had just reported it.

"This Zhu Yigui was originally a farmer in Changtai County. He was recruited as a labor service not long ago. Later, he seemed to be unable to bear the labor service and fled back privately. Then he brought his people to kill officials in Punan to prosecute the matter. Because the officials at the beginning did not receive any news, and the local government reported the matter a few days ago. The humble position... the humble position was neglected..." The prefect and the Changtai County Magistrate were pale. There was such a big deal in their rule, and the news was so slow that Zhu Yigui gathered 50,000 yuan to learn that this was no longer a dereliction of duty. According to Nian Gengyao's temper, they directly chopped their heads and were light.

"Bastard!" Nian Gengyao stepped forward and kicked the two unlucky guys upside down. The two of them didn't care about the pain on their bodies and hurriedly turned over and kowtowed at Nian Gengyao, saying anything like "I want to commit crimes and make meritorious service."

"Do you have made meritorious service? Can you afford to wear this crime?" Nian Gengyao's anger could not be suppressed, and the sword in his waist was pulled out. If it weren't for the confidant around him, he would have cut the two of them directly.

"Master, when you use people now, it is easy to kill them, but the pseudo-Ming army is approaching. If..." This sentence reminded Nian Gengyao that since he lost Fuzhou, Nian Gengyao retreated south. He originally set up a defense line in Quanzhou to use Lan Yanzhen's joint fleet as foreign aid to deal with the Ming army in Quanzhou, and at the same time prepare to strengthen the clear world.

But who would have thought that Lan Yanzhen's joint fleet was defeated so quickly. The joint fleet in the East China Sea was wiped out. Without Lan Yanzhen, the Ming army's navy had no worries. Not only could Nian Gengyao not defend Quanzhou, but even under the threat of the Ming army's navy, he could not even be able to completely strengthen the clear world. He could only barely resist in Quanzhou for a while, Nian Gengyao had no choice but to retreat to Xiamen. Lan Li in Xiamen had already begun to work on his overall defense plan. Now the Ming army has passed Quanzhou, and the troops are about to reach the surrounding areas of Xiamen.

At this time, Nian Gengyao was worried about the frontline situation every day, but who would have thought that such a big deal happened to Zhu Yigui in the hinterland of Xiamen at this time?

Fifty thousand people! Although these people are not elite, how can we underestimate this power of 50,000 people gather together? Even if 50,000 pigs rushed over at once, it would be difficult. Moreover, the Qing army's troops are now deploying defenses everywhere, and the mobile forces in Lan Li and Nian Gengyao are not enough. Although there are some brave soldiers who have been training these days, these people are still careless as cannon fodder, so how can they do other things?

Besides, wasn’t Zhu Yigui recruited these brave men? If these people were transferred to encircle Zhu Yigui, who could guarantee that they would not turn against each other? Thinking of this, Nian Gengyao felt the blue veins on his head kept jumping, and the anger emitted from the eyes of the two guys could almost burn them to ashes.

"What do you say about Lan Shuai?" After finally suppressing it, Nian Gengyao asked.

The other party shook his head, Lan Li was also caring about his head and not caring. If there were enough soldiers, how could he ask Nian Gengyao to order the mobilization of young and strong people from all over the country? Because Zhu Yigui suddenly started to make trouble like this, people from all over Xiamen are now uneasy. Lan Li is taking people to stabilize various defense areas and preparing for the Ming army's attack. As for the Zhu Yigui rebellion, Nian Gengyao can only deal with it himself.

With a gloomy face, Nian Gengyao could not come up with a solution for a while. He still had the last force in his hand, but this force was his three thousand standard commanders. This force was his trump card. Once played, there would be no bargaining chips.

"How many people are there in the Fujian Navy?" Nian Gengyao suddenly remembered that there was another army, or a forgotten army, that is, the Fujian Navy, which had long been destroyed.

"Two thousand people are around, but they are not elites. You also know that since Shi Junmen fell into Ningbo, the Fujian Navy has been in a slump. After that, the Blue Army Sect combined the two armies into one and drew the only remaining elites, so..."

"I know all these." Nian Gengyao waved his hand and told the other party not to say anything more. The remaining 2,000 people are now stationed near the port, which is considered a supplementary force on the Kinmen side.

Nian Gengyao's current troops were his own model soldiers and the two thousand Fujian Navy. After thinking about it, he decided to send one thousand model soldiers and the remaining troops of the two thousand Fujian Navy, and then mobilized five thousand soldiers to form eight thousand people, and the deputy general of Fujian led his troops to encircle and suppress Zhu Yigui as soon as possible.

Eight thousand to 50,000. If these eight thousand people were all elite green camps, they might be careless, but the ones that could be called the real elite were just one thousand Supervisors. As for the remaining seven thousand people, either the elderly, the weak, the sick, or the temporary soldiers composed of strong men were drawn from the people, when the order was issued, the deputy general of Fujian suddenly showed a look of difficulty and didn't know what to say.

But Nian Gengyao didn't care about this at all, because he knew that if Zhu Yigui continued to make trouble like this, the Ming army would collapse at the same time as the entire defense line arrived. At the moment, the defensive Xiamen line, which was already solid, was overwhelmed by Zhu Yigui's toss. What's even more annoying is that Zhu Yigui's place was still in the southwest of Xiamen, and directly cut off the important road to retreat to Guangdong and Guangxi once the war was unfavorable.

Nian Gengyao knew this very well, so no matter whether Zhu Yigui had to suppress it, even if he could not suppress it, he would force Zhu Yigui to drive him to other places. This was Nian Gengyao's biggest bottom line.

As for the two unlucky guys, the prefect and the county magistrate, they will keep their heads for the time being and let them follow the encirclement and suppression army to deal with Zhu Yigui. If Zhu Yigui can be destroyed, Nian Gengyao might be open to them. If the task cannot be completed, haha, don't blame Nian Gengyao for being ruthless.
Chapter completed!
