The Red House starts from Liaodong

West Liaoning.

"The movement of Jinzhou is becoming more and more incomprehensible."

King Zhongshun sighed.

With the transfer of military forces from western Liaoning to Guan Pingkou last year, the number of transfers increased, and King Zhongshun's actions against Jinzhou became more and more calm, focusing on stabilizing the opponent.

The original tens of thousands of troops, although less than 1 were drawn, are all elite.

If Marquis Ping Liao were enraged at this time and forced to raise the flag to rebel, the situation of the country might take a turn for the worse. The power in the hands of King Zhongshun might not be enough to guard Liaoxi alone.

"The end general has already found out."

Tumen replied calmly.

It turned out to be Cheng Zhixin's errand, because he was more familiar with Liaodong, but he brought the Liaoxi iron cavalry into the pass, and the matter fell on him.

"The imperial court has already asked the old man about Jinzhou. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise the old man would not know how to write."

King Zhongshun laughed.

"The end will be a matter of duty."

Golden State is going from strength to strength.

According to Tumen's wishes, only by forcing Jinzhou to rebel can he deal with Jia's mansion, which suits him best.But he is not a person who does not understand the overall situation, and knows that the time is not right now.

The current imperial court will not deal with Jinzhou until the domestic riots are completely resolved, but will try to appease them as much as possible.

Even so, Tumen did not give up. Instead, he tried his best to find information about Jinzhou, so that King Zhongshun could know it well, so that he could easily make a move in the future.

"Golden State currently has [-] veterans, and they are generally on rotation, and will not be transferred easily."

"The newly established four major military towns do not have actual numbers of soldiers. Instead, according to the situation of each town, the military commanders of Jinzhou will mobilize troops and horses."

"The new coalition army is based on part of the Jinjiang Army and recruited from various ethnic groups to form a new army. It has become Jinzhou's main foreign combat force. The quota adopted is completely under the control of Jinzhou."

"The Mongolian army, the barbarian army, and the Korean army are under the indirect control of Jinzhou. They come from the grasslands. Hetuala and North Korea are not quotas. After dealing with the war, they will return to their original places."

"According to Jinzhou's official documents, the current military strength of Jinzhou is as high as 15, including [-] Jinjiang Army, [-] New Alliance Army, and [-] troops of various ethnic groups."

……

After listening to Tumen's introduction, the corners of King Zhongshun's eyes couldn't help twitching.

"15 troops?"

"More than that, Jinzhou has just returned more than 20 soldiers of various ethnic groups, which means that if necessary, Jinzhou can recruit tens of thousands of soldiers. [-] soldiers should not be a problem."

If 20 soldiers fight for hundreds of miles, at least 30 to [-] civilians will be needed, and the money and food will not be counted.

King Zhongshun quickly deduced it, with a worried face.

The Great Zhou inherited the Great Ming.

There used to be millions of military households and tens of millions of households, but this is the old calendar.

centuries.

There are hundreds of thousands of military households in the capital, and they can be self-sufficient in principle, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be recruited at any time.

In fact, there are only more than [-] soldiers, just such a small number of people, and many of them are still used indiscriminately, and many of them are unusable.

The only thing Da Zhou can do now is the newly recruited battalion soldiers, and the Guards Army can barely guard the city.

11 soldiers from Liaoxi, [-] soldiers from the three battalions of Dengzhou, Penglai, and Tianjin, [-] soldiers from Shanhaiguan, and [-] soldiers from Gyeonggi, totaling [-] soldiers. …

The soldiers who can be transferred to fight in the north can only be transferred to Sichuan and Zhejiang at the farthest.

Further south, the distance is too far, and the south also needs to leave troops to stabilize the frontier, so it cannot be easily mobilized.

In other words.

The military towns on the other sides are also useless.It can still be maintained if it is not adjusted, otherwise whichever one is adjusted, whichever one is adjusted, it will mutiny, and it will be corrupted instead of consuming much power.

"I hope the civil unrest in Shaanxi will subside soon."

King Zhongshun sighed.

Jinzhou's influence in the grasslands is growing, and its hands have reached out to the various ministries of Khalkha.

Nianhua sent a letter to contact King Zhongshun to deal with Jinzhou's forces together, at least cut off Jinzhou's hand extending to the Khalkha grassland.

King Zhongshun was quite moved when he received the letter.

Now I have completely dismissed my thoughts and decided to wait for the domestic situation to calm down first.

According to Cheng Zhixin's letters, they made great achievements repeatedly. Not only were they promoted and awarded titles, but they also wiped out most of the rioters in Shaanxi.

That being the case, they will be able to come back by the beginning of next year at the latest.

King Zhongshun thought so.

~~~~~~
Henan.

Henan is the heart of the Great Zhou Empire, and it was the place where the Four World Wars were fought militarily. It should have strong military strength.In fact, the defense forces here are relatively weak, and the civil and military officials have no experience in fighting the rebels.

The governor of Henan was at the forefront of the rebel army and urgently asked for help.

Upon receiving the local emergency, the emperor quickly issued an order: "Since the thieves are crossing the river, and the borders of Henan are in the borderlands, it is advisable to strictly guard against rushing.

Liu and Cheng Zhun respectively selected and dispatched officers and soldiers to briefly intercept and suppress them. Henan and Jin Fujian urgently supervised Xie Jing and others to pursue them together.

Make sure to clean it up regularly, and if you continue to vent your mistakes, you will not lend lightly. "

However, the rebel army blossomed everywhere in Henan, and quickly got rid of the pursuit of the government and army with the momentum of a high-level strategic plan, and achieved a thousand-mile leap forward.

In just one month, the footprints of the rebel army were almost all over the counties in western Henan, and then rushed to the bordering Huguang, Anhui and Sichuan.

For Zhou Ting, the original local problem has since become a serious problem.

……

Cheng Zhixin, who was still in Shaanxi, had already been promoted from a guerrilla general to a general, and then to a general in an exceptional manner.

In just over a year, Cheng Zhixin felt the thrill of Ping Liao Hou's rapid promotion.

He was very excited, and his face was full of enthusiasm.

After receiving the order from the imperial court, he led his troops into Henan without hesitation, and chased down the fleeing rioters and bandits.

Even Shaanxi, the home of bandits, was pacified by him, so in his eyes, the rest of the rioters were nothing more than chickens and dogs, remnants of bandits.

But he ignores a fact.

The rebels who remained in Shaanxi accepted Zhao'an on the whole. From another perspective, they were actually ordinary people who had expectations for the imperial court.

Later, because he couldn't wait for the disaster relief from the imperial court, he saw that he was still going to starve to death, so he fought hard.

Their resistance is not firm.

And the rebels who fled to other places never had illusions about the imperial court, they were firm in their hearts, and they would not be discouraged when they encountered setbacks.

more.

Cheng Zhixin ignored the public opinion.

The actual situation is that after the peasant army entered Henan, the local big households suffered so much that they recorded the atrocities committed by the peasant army. …

In the countryside, poor peasants from Henan joined the rebel army one after another, and the strength of the rebel army expanded rapidly.

Not only was he not acclimatized, but he was able to easily integrate with the local farmers, gaining more supplements and increasing his strength.

Lu Weiqi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, sent a letter to the imperial court, "Spirits of the Central Plains".

Speaking of the situation in Henan, I warned the court to take it seriously.

"In the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth years of Gongshun, there was a severe drought in the Central Plains. There was no harvest in autumn, and it was difficult to plant wheat. There was no grass in the fields, and ten rooms were empty.

Therefore, there are those who are worth five silver coins for a bucket of rice, those who do not get enough rice for a day of work, those who pluck grass roots and leaves to satisfy their hunger, those who abandon their wives by their husbands, and those who abandon their children by their mothers, and those who sell their children for less than a few meals, and those who hang themselves in the empty forest. There are those who are willing to fill ditches, those who starve to death on the side of the road, those who beg for quail clothes and vegetables, those who die with pillows on their pillows, those who flee with mud doors and burdens, and those who cannibalize each other.

In such a time of great famine, the imperial court not only did not provide relief, but also punished them with demands. The most important thing was to supply them, and they were responsible for military rations, equipment, rice beans, and bamboo shoots.

Moreover, in addition to the official Fu, there is an additional Pai Yan, who chases after the old bun for several years, first compiles a third of the pre-request, and even asks for the extra waste of Jiubu.

……

The old quota is not yet finished, but the new salary has been urged; as soon as the new levy is completed, the old salary is lowered again;

There are no barking dogs in the village, but they still knock on the door of reminders; the trees have crying juan, and they sprinkle the blood of the whip.

In the yellow and red land, there are almost no people in the villages; the white bones are green, and ghosts are often heard crying every night.There is the sound of wind and cranes in the ears, and the look of desolation is everywhere.If you want to make the poor people not turn into thieves, you cannot get them; "

Central Plains.

It is like a pile of dry firewood, and the peasant uprising army who fled from Shaanxi is like a torch.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand...

In an unfamiliar environment, the insurgents of various ministries were not resisted by the local farmers, but instead swelled up like balloons.

The various units of the rebel army who firmly resisted the imperial court and their attitudes in Shaanxi have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

When we were in Shaanxi, there were not many rebels attacking cities and lands, because many of the leaders of the rebels were afraid and wanted to wait for the disaster to pass and quietly return to their hometowns to continue their lives, so there were disagreements among the rebels.

However, the current insurgent army has no disagreements, and various ministries have attacked the city one after another. A large part of the rebel army is advancing towards the capital of Henan, and entering the mountainous area one step at a time.

The part that entered the mountainous area combined with the slave-like miners living in the local area. Their power rose, and they broke into the territory of Huguang.

Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan provinces are like wildfires that have been ignited, burning blazingly.

Cheng Zhixin led thousands of cavalry, and as soon as he left Shaanxi, the uprising army in Shaanxi revived, with a violent momentum, and went straight to Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi.

Thousands of cavalry stayed in Wuguan, Henan, dumbfounded.

They killed countless refugees, often defeated a large number of insurgents with a single charge, and made great military exploits, so they looked down on bandits.

But now, they are afraid. …

There are countless rioters to kill, killing dozens of waves in one wave, killing more and more rioters, like a vast ocean.

Cheng Zhixin didn't dare to act rashly.

Neither dared to go back to Shaanxi, nor dared to go deep into Henan.

It's strange that Cheng Zhixin, who has never suffered a defeat at the hands of the refugee army and has always been conceited, is actually afraid.

……

Capital
They were dumbfounded from top to bottom.

At the end of last year, everyone was saying that civil unrest should be put down. Even last month, the situation regarding the suppression of civil unrest was very good.

No matter how you say it has changed, it has changed, and it has changed so quickly that people have no time to react.

Just received the official document from the post station, and before the court could negotiate a response, the new official document sent through the post station changed again.

Such rapidity made the courtiers dumbfounded.

Not only the courtiers were dumbfounded, but the emperor was also furious.

"Is this what Zhu Qing said is great?"

The emperor roared filial piety.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Fan Hao, sighed secretly. The emperor was furious at the ministers, but in fact, he was expressing his dissatisfaction with him.

According to his inner wishes, he is unwilling to come out of the mountain again.

During the period of the Supreme Emperor, he was the chief assistant of the cabinet. How could he not know the situation in various places?Although he couldn't see the future, he knew that Da Zhou's current situation was very dangerous.

That's why he adopts a moderate policy towards Jinzhou, refugees, etc., and he can appease them for a while.

He never revealed the real situation, because Da Zhou couldn't deal with it when the trouble broke out.

It's a pity that his old disciples want him to come out of the mountain, so he can only reluctantly do what he wants.In fact, he knew that he did not have the courage to solve the root problem.

just now.

The refugee incident became more and more troublesome, and as he expected, it became a serious problem for the imperial court, so what can be done to solve it.

Soon.

Minister of the Ministry of War is imprisoned, and the chief assistant of the cabinet, Fan Hao, submits his resignation. The emperor does not even want to give face, and agrees on the spot.

In this way, four cabinet ministers have been changed in ten years, and each has a shorter term than the other.

He was transferred to Zhang Qi, the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Fujian, and went north with the Guangdong Buzheng envoy, to be responsible for the government affairs of suppressing bandits in the four provinces.

Because Guangdong defeated the British, in the eyes of the emperor, it was a servant of Zhibing.In the eyes of the emperor, Zhang Qi is a minister who can cope with Jinzhou's ambitions.

……

The refugees in Shandong are countless.

Dengzhou, the government of Penglai, although they knew that the refugees were going to defect to Jinzhou, which would increase the strength of Marquis Ping Liao, but the local government did not dare to stop it.

Because they couldn't provide food for disaster relief, and the direction of Jinzhou was staring at them, if a civil uprising was stirred up, not to mention other impacts, they would definitely lose their lives.

For the sake of his own life and the official hat on his head, he chose to turn a blind eye, listen and not hear, as if sending the plague god away.

The two camps of Dengzhou and Penglai were set up to guard against Jinzhou, but because there are many merchant ships going to Jinzhou.

The generals of the two battalions had their mouths full of oil, and instead of taking control, they personally participated in it.

There is an endless stream of merchant ships, cargo ships, and civilian ships, and they can arrive in Jinzhou in one day.

For the immigrants from Shandong, Jinzhou has made sufficient preparations, and set up porridge sheds according to the mileage, all the way to the north of Liaozuo and all the way to the south of Liaozuo.

Immigrants to the north were resettled in Shenyang, Liaoyang, Anshan, and Kaiyuan.

Immigrants heading south are resettled on Hamgyong Road and Pingan Road.And Nuergansi is close to Ji'an in Liaodong, Hunjiang River, Jihe River and other areas with rich water resources.

"Do it big, do it fast, do it hard."

Tang Qing'an laughed.

Why disregarded the form and let the Jin Jiang army destroy the barbarians alone? Isn't it just for today.

Although Nuergansi is severely cold, it has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are still many plains on both sides of the river that are suitable for farming.The output in the current climate is large, but the place is large.

But if there are hostile forces, the people will not be able to farm.

Only by laying down a peaceful area for the people, can they successfully reclaim the fields and rest.

Not to mention that there are only 600 million people in Liaodong now, even if there are 1000 million or 2000 million people, Tang Qing'an is not afraid of not being able to support them.

There are only two ways to deal with the Little Ice Age.

One is to increase the yield per mu, and the other is to develop new land.

To increase the yield of crops, Tang Qing'an found sweet potatoes, corn and other crops.The original Liaodong was a war-torn land. Although there was land, it could not be cultivated.

It is different now.

With the elimination of hostile forces, what is lacking is the people who come to open up wasteland.

The north converged to Shandong, and immigrants from Shandong arrived in Jinzhou by boat.Immigrants from the south gathered in Fujian and crossed the sea to Liaodong.

It was the way of life that Tang Qing'an sought for the common people.
