Hong Chengchou hurried back to Hancheng, and it was indeed as Mao Wenlong expected. Because Yanghe did not have food and grass to feed the hungry people who had surrendered, the hungry people took the opportunity to rebel again.

The number of people who responded to this uprising was huge, and almost all the peasant armies in Shaanxi participated. For a time, the whole of Shaanxi almost fell, and Yang He was escorted back to Beijing by the imperial court, and what awaited him was imprisonment.

Hong Chengchou's first reaction when he heard the news was joy, Yanghe was dismissed, which meant that he no longer had to take responsibility for the robbery of grain and grass.

He can also be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and the peasant army did this, he not only directly replaced the governor of Yanghe, but also became the first person in Shaanxi to hold military power.

In the future, there is no need to look at Yang He's face, the two have different political views from the beginning.

Yanghe implements both suppression and appeasement, with the main thing being appeased. Hong Chengchou is both soothing and killing!

In Hong Chengchou's view, these peasant armies were capricious and would revolt again at the first opportunity after surrendering. The day when the imperial court goes down like this is in a bottomless pit in the middle of the road, and there is no rehabilitation at all.

Therefore, every time he sent troops to rehabilitate, he always implemented the policy of killing first and then appeasement. It is precisely because of his actions that he was not only labeled as a murderous and reactionary figure, but also was taken care of by Yanghe.

Leaving Ye County, Hong Chengchou didn't have any burden in his heart, at this moment, if the grain robbery was really Mao Wenlong's doing. He was grateful, and he didn't have the slightest hatred for him.

All the mistakes and mistakes in the past will be borne by Yanghe, and Hong Chengchou will not only not mention it, but will also order it to be sealed. At this point, Mao Wenlong's grain robbery can be regarded as settled.

Leaving Ye County, Hong Chengchou rushed to Luoyang and arrived on the outskirts of Luoyang in the evening of the same day. He wanted to enter the city, but he saw that there was a large number of peasant troops besieging the city.

Fortunately, Luoyang City was safe and sound, and the peasant army had no weapons or siege equipment, so they could only besiege the city but could not attack it.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Hong Seungchou made a detour that night and continued his journey, arriving in Hancheng two days later.

There were battles everywhere along the way, and there were peasant armies, bandits, and hungry people everywhere. In just two days, even if Hong Chengchou hurried back to Hancheng to take over and avoided the peasant army as much as possible, he still fought more than a dozen battles on the way.

Two thousand subordinates followed him back to Hancheng, and in the end there were less than one thousand left.

Hanseong Trilateral Governor's Palace.

The most magnificent building in the city is also the residence where Yang He used to stay. After Hong Chengchou entered the city, he went straight to the governor's palace, and the whole city outside was also under martial law.

The atmosphere in the governor's palace was even more tense, after all, Yang He was dismissed and escorted back to Beijing, and the new governor had not yet returned to take over. Hancheng was in the absence of a supreme governor in power, and the generals in the city did not dare to relax.

After Hong Chengchou returned to Hancheng to take over, he immediately commanded his troops and horses to contact the generals of other cities, and began to send troops to quell the war caused by the peasant army.

Ye!

Since Hong Chengchou left suddenly and hurriedly, the county order, who did not know the reason, went to visit Mao Wenlong as soon as possible to find out what happened.

Mao Wenlong naturally didn't say much to him, but said lightly that something big had happened in Shaanxi, and the peasant army in Shaanxi revolted again, which caused Hong Chengchou to hurry back.

Seeing that Mao Wenlong didn't say anything more, the county commander didn't dare to ask more. Walking in officialdom, he still understands this little rule.

After sending off the county order, Mao Wenlong just returned to the hall and saw that Chen Lan was already waiting here with Hong Ziyan.

As soon as Hong Ziyan saw Mao Wenlong coming back, she immediately greeted him, looking quite anxious: "Xianggong, did something happen to my father?" ”

Mao Wenlong looked at Hong Ziyan, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Your father did encounter some trouble, but you don't need to worry, in fact, this time is a good thing." If I'm not mistaken, your father should be appointed to the governor of the three sides and take the place of the crane. ”

Hong Ziyan, who was worried just now, suddenly fell into a stunned state after hearing this. It was a far cry from what she had just heard.

After a long time, Hong Ziyan came back to her senses and said worriedly: "Don't lie to me. ”

Hong Ziyan still had a suspicious look on her face, obviously, she couldn't believe what Mao Wenlong said just now.

"Fool, is it necessary for Xianggong to lie to you about this? Wait with peace of mind, I believe that soon, there will be conclusive news from Shaanxi! Mao Wenlong was rare and tender, and comforted Hong Ziyan softly.

Chen Lan also persuaded with a smile at this time: "Okay sister, Xiang Gong will definitely not lie to you with such a thing, wait a few days to find out, and you don't need to worry too much." ”

Seeing that Chen Lan said this, Hong Ziyan was embarrassed to dwell on it any longer. Moreover, she still trusts Mao Wenlong's words, and she was only so suspicious just now.

After appeasing Hong Ziyan, Mao Wenlong immediately left for the barracks.

Hong Chengchou's departure will definitely set off a bloody storm in Shaanxi. I believe that it will not be long before this storm will spread to Henan Province.

At this time, it is natural to prepare early, but the push forward of history makes Mao Wenlong feel in a hurry.

Yuan Chonghuan's death was more than half a year ahead of schedule, and Hong Chengchou's succession as the governor of the Shaanxi Trilateral was a full year ahead of schedule. As for whether there are any major events coming in advance, Mao Wenlong has no foundation in his heart now.

Once the chaos in Shaanxi spread to Henan Province, there was no time for Mao Wenlong to develop and stabilize the foundation.

Mao Wenlong obviously miscalculated this, and at this time he realized that he couldn't take the historical trend he knew too seriously.

The course of history can change at any time under subtle interference. Just like his arrival, although it is too late to do anything, at least the entire Ye County has changed because of him.

When Mao Wenlong arrived at the barracks, Chen Jisheng was busy commanding the officers and men of the Dongjiang Army to restore the barracks to its original appearance.

Seeing Mao Wenlong coming with his heart full of thoughts, Chen Jisheng was quite curious, and stepped forward to say: "Hong Chengchou has already left, and the crisis of our grain robbery can be regarded as a thrilling one, so what else is there to worry about?" ”

Mao Wenlong looked up at the soldiers who were busy, and said worriedly: "The wind is about to rise, the storm is about to sweep in, and Henan Mansion should soon be affected by Shaanxi." Our days of comfort are over! ”

Chen Jisheng was inexplicable when he heard this, and said in a daze: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Mao Wenlong did not hide it from Chen Jisheng, but told him his analysis completely, and then said worriedly: "Do you think our 30,000 Dongjiang troops can survive in this troubled era?" ”
