Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 294: No War in Shanxi

Chongzhen's order was quickly sent back to Shanxi Town and Datong Town.

He went to Shanxi with the newly elected governor of Shanxi, Xu Dingchen.

Xu Dingchen also has no military experience, so he was thrown out to fill the void.

Because no one is willing to do it, even he is not as good as Yang He, but he has his own theory to support it.

Chongzhen received the report of Hong Chengchou strangling Zuo Guazi and the 98 leaders, and appreciated it very much.

He repeatedly said that thieves are rampant, that it is wrong to recruit, and it is good to kill.

This shows that after the passage of Chongzhen, the Golden Tatars entered Beijing to slash and kill, and high-ranking thieves and hammer bandits ravaged Shanxi.

He lost confidence in appeasement, and turned to a means of suppressing bandits.

It's just that Yang He did a good job of appeasement, and Chongzhen didn't change his methods immediately.

Because of Prime Minister Ma Shilong's trust in Cao Wenzhao, he gave him the Shangfang sword of Emperor Chongzhen.

He was ordered to lead the generals Wang Chengyin, Zhang Shujia, and Du Si Zuo Liangyu to ambush the dead trees and Hongqiao in Yutian. They were promoted to generals because of their meritorious service in the fierce battle.

Later, Cao Wenzhao followed Ma Shilong and others to capture Da'an City and Catfish and other passes.

Because of his achievements in recovering the four cities, Chongzhen added an official to him as the governor.

At the same time, Cao Wenzhao was appointed as the deputy general of Yansui East Road, assembled the Guanning Army, recuperated for a month, and then set off to suppress the civil uprising in Shaanxi.

The civil upheavals in Shaanxi are getting bigger and bigger. He must not sit back and watch the hammer bandits, high bandits and others make goods in Shanxi and wipe out the bandits in their hometown first.

Who made Wang Jiayin king?
Even though He Jinchao killed Tian Zhao, the deputy general of Shanxi Town, Chongzhen also ranked Wang Jiayin at the top of the must-kill list.

He Jinzhao naturally welcomed Lin Dan Khan's sending of people to Shuiquan Yingbao Mutual Market.

Pan Yu, who was entrusted with the important task, recognized it immediately, because the accent was not quite the same as that of the right-wing Mongols, so she hurriedly reported to He Jinzhao.

But now He Jinzhao has no time to talk to them, and Lin Danhan doesn't want to make trouble at the moment.

Unless the defenders of Datong can do something like open the door and let the Mongols pass through Ningwu Pass, they can reach He Jinchao.

Either it is to drive away the Mongols who came to Shuiquanying Fort to trade, but this move will obviously cause them a lot of conflict.

Lin Danhan occupied the market reward sites in Xuanhua and other places in Datong. If Tutmo wanted to get something, he had to come to He Jinzhao.

And once Lin Danhan learns that He Jinzhao's trade here is fair, he will inevitably have a plan to eat both ends.

Yang Yuxiu got He Jinchao's order, and started to kill in the county government, and beheaded several clerks in a row, because of the Wanjiazhai incident, he made his master suffer.

Although He Jinzhao said that he wanted to build a backward model village, he would wait for their own civil strife to break out, and then ask him to do the master's plan.

But in Yang Yuxiu's view, it's because he didn't do a good job. At the end of the household registration, he relaxed a little, which made the hands and feet of these clerks dirty.

This is the first time, if I do it again next time, what will my lord think of me?

You don't want a future anymore, I, Yang Yuxiu, still want to climb up with the lord!
Who wants to be a county official for the rest of his life?
Officials are always officials, and there is a huge gap between the treatment of officials and officials.

Now that Yang Yuxiu has finally seen hope, no one is allowed to drag him back.

With Xia Harvest approaching, He Jinzhao personally led people to patrol the surrounding areas in case the Ming army came to steal the wheat fields.

Even if he couldn't take it away, if it was set on fire, He Jinzhao would lose.

As far as the whole country is concerned, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, land annexation accelerated very quickly, and there were many landlords with thousands of hectares of fields.

But in the northwestern part of Shanxi, it is considered too much for the gentry to occupy [-] mu of fertile land.

Because the border is really unsafe, it is useless to occupy so much land, and there are not enough people to plant it.

The only big landlord is Haichao Temple, the former stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, occupying tens of thousands of mu of fertile land.

Most of the rest were military settlements, which were then occupied by generals from Shanxi Township.

The main purpose of the Ming Dynasty's implementation of military garrison was to achieve self-sufficiency in military rations by means of military garrison.

During the Hongwu period, all the guards in the world were reclaimed. In the reign of Yongle and Xuande, the garrison administration was the most complete and the garrison grain was the most abundant.

After the Zhengtong period, the work of supervision became more and more slack, the military settlements became increasingly corrupt, and the scale of production gradually shrank. There were many reasons for the destruction of the settlements.

For example, when horses are flooded, the battlefield is under martial law, and farming cannot be done from time to time;

If the cattle are not given, the strength cannot be plowed;

Ding Zhuang fled, and there was no one to cultivate, and most of the fertile fields were annexed by powerful men and military officers.

The illegal service of the soldiers, coupled with natural disasters and wars, caused the fields to be barren and the lives of the soldiers were difficult;
The set is for the captives, and the captives live inside, and the fields are outside, so they dare not cultivate them.

In the late Wanli period, the grain income of the northern border towns was less than half of that in the early Ming Dynasty, or even less.

For example, during the Hongwu and Yongle periods in Shanxi Town, they could still collect 41 shi of grain, but in the [-]st year of Wanli, they could only collect [-] shi of grain.

In recent years, the number has declined year after year, and many people have fled their households and went to the Mongolian tribes to beg for a living.

He Jinchao passed the release of the gentry landlords and the domestic slaves of a few rich merchants.

Burn down usury loans, reduce pressure on tenants, convert military households into civilian households, and change low-level households into benevolent households.

Expand the number of households under the rule and liberate the labor force.

Coupled with the rumors that He Jinchao's real dragon frightened the King of Jin to death with a fake dragon, and the night-time removal of the statue in Haichao Temple, he gained a great reputation in Northwest Shanxi.

The gentry did not dare to resist, and as for the upper-level officers and soldiers in Shanxi Town, they all fled away because they were frightened by him beheading Tian Zhao, the deputy commander.

He Jinchao has soldiers in his hands, and Yang Yuxiu often performs "get a good show", so there are not many obstacles to carry out this matter.

People from humble backgrounds, tenants, military households, etc. all support He Jinzhao, hoping that one day they too will stand up.

Now that the opportunity has come, he must desperately defend He Jinzhao's regime.

Whether you are close or not, class classification, this sentence is quite appropriate here.

In addition, He Jinzhao divided the fields for his soldiers, and everyone was full of enthusiasm.

The harvest on the ground this year belongs to He Jinzhao and the tenants share it equally.

Anyway, when the food was in He Jinzhao's hands, it was also for them to eat.

When the tenants also have surplus grain in their hands, they will be able to hire these good people to cultivate the land for them in the future, and they will be able to have more strength.

Except for the gentry who lost their land and the former high-ranking generals of Ming Dynasty who were dissatisfied, everyone else was quite satisfied.

After harvesting the summer harvest, the field officially became their own.

These soldiers followed He Jinzhao to inspect the fields, and they were all very attentive.

Looking at the heavy ears of wheat, I imagined that their fields would be like this after the autumn harvest.

After the summer harvest, most of the land will be planted with beans, millet, and cotton.

The core of two-year three-crop is winter wheat.

Chen Chong had already left with ease, this time he didn't ask for He Jinzhao's money, he just wanted to get on his boat and leave an extra way out.

He promises that He Jinzhao will come back next time, and he must get him some more corn (corn) and sweet potatoes.

Maize is found in both central Sichuan and the southeast coast. It was probably introduced into China through two routes.

He Jinzhao came to Chenjiaying again, and the ears of wheat that were still green a few days ago had turned yellow and bent over.

Just waiting for the wheat to be harvested.
