Gu Yinxi led his troops into Nanyang, only to find that something was wrong, and Kong Youde and the three of them withdrew too completely. These men fled in a hurry, taking all the possessions of the city with them, as if they were fleeing from the famine.
Finally, the news of the Eastern Route Army came, Hou Xuanyan and Du Yinxi looked at each other without saying a word, since the Battle of Salhu, this calamitous empire finally ushered in the dawn.
"Congratulations to Guogong, for accomplishing this great cause and making meritorious contributions for all generations!" Plug Yinxi praised from the bottom of his heart. As a general, no one knows Hou Xuanyan's role in this war better than him.
Hou Xuanyan looked up to the sky and smiled, his heart was full of joy, and he was frightened, angry, and tired along the way... All have the best returns.
"The large blank left by the retreat of the Qing troops to the north cannot be left unattended for a long time, and it is necessary to immediately garrison and send officials, liquidate traitors, and settle the people's livelihood. In addition, Liaodong has not yet been recovered, and the war is not complete, so it is imminent to send troops to recruit Liao. Let's not rest tonight, you go to Kaifeng and I will go to Luoyang, let's settle the Central Plains first. ”
The admiration in Du Yinxi's eyes deepened again, Yue Guogong is really a Shangguan who has nothing to say, putting aside his personal morality, his public heart can be called a saint. At the moment of such a great victory, he did not rush to celebrate or boast of his exploits, and the first thing that came to mind was the people's livelihood and the elimination of the remnants.
The loyal battalion was divided into troops, with 100,000 troops led by Yin Xi and Gao Yigong to Kaifeng, and 50,000 by Hou Xuanyan to recover Luoyang. The people left behind were stationed in Nanyang, and the entire Central Plains was out of the Yellow Flood Area, and it will soon be fully restored.
In late autumn, the leaves of the trees swept up by the wind fluttered wantonly on the roads, and the roads were lined with cowering peasants, reaping their poor crops in the wasteland. In Henan, where wars have been raging for many years, the crops in these fields are basically unattended, and in some places the barren grass is already half a person's high. The big soldiers who were entrenched here last night suddenly withdrew, and the small people in the nearby villages dared to come out to collect grain, and Hou Xuanyan's soldiers and horses frightened them again.
The people don't care about the Ming army or the Qing soldiers, to be honest, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the warlords were fighting, there were many Ming troops who were more ferocious than the Qing soldiers.
Regardless of whether you are an emperor and a general, a thousand years of hegemony, and Chinese orthodoxy... All ordinary people want is to survive.
Hou Xuanyan's excited mood calmed down, the success of the Northern Expedition was just the beginning, and the real challenge was still to come. If the Manchus were driven out, they would be complacent and lose their goals, and then for the people in these occupied areas, there would be no difference between living under the rule of the Manchus.
Luoyang used to be the most prosperous place, and now although it is no longer the prosperous place it used to be, it is still a good place.
In late autumn, the chrysanthemums in the city are in full bloom, yellow, white, red and colorful, the city gate has been wide open, the Qing soldiers are in a hurry, and they have not had time to close the city gate.
A column of soldiers lined up at the gate of the city, extending to the middle of the city, the largest building in the city, is the Emperor Wanli for his favorite son Zhu Changxun built the palace of the king of Fu.
After entering the city, Hou Xuanyan was stationed in King Fu's mansion, and the local gentry and celebrities in Luoyang all shaved off the pigtails on their heads and came to visit.
Hou Xuanyan looked at it, everyone was wearing a six-hat on their heads, and it was helpless to be forced to shave their heads under the order to shave their hair, and Hou Xuanyan has not pursued it. At this time, although the overall situation has been decided, he does not want to be too harsh.
Wu Yang and the people knelt down together, and shouted: "I have seen Yue Guogong." ”
Hou Xuanyan didn't like this set from the bottom of his heart, and after calling them up, he sat down in the hall of the outer palace of King Fu's mansion, looked down at everyone in the hall, and said loudly: "You are all from Luoyang, now not only Luoyang, the whole Henan is in ruins, and the monarchs of the Central Plains cannot shirk the revitalization of the Central Plains, and they should have the righteousness and mind of the unity of the family and the country." ”
When the gentry below heard this, their hearts tightened, and they heard that they wanted us to donate money.
Hou Xuanyan was condescending, taking in their expressions, and then said: "The thoroughfare of the nine provinces of Luoyang, the only way to travel between the east and the west, is the business road given by God to the people of Luoyang. I have now achieved great success in reforming the commercial system in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is unceremoniously not inferior to the great achievements of the Northern Expedition. Now that the Central Plains has been pacified, it is natural that one cannot be one over the other.
What I saw along the way was that the people's livelihood here was withering, and the people were miserable. There is a lot of fertile land in Henan, but it is barren everywhere, and the reason for this is the unfair distribution of land. In the past, a large area of fertile land was owned by the Fu Wangfu, but now that the border has passed, the king of the Ming Dynasty has been killed, and the only few remaining are also in the hands of the Qing soldiers outside the Saiwai. The land measurement and taxation system will be decided after I return to the court, but the fertile land here cannot be abandoned during this time. ”
When the people below heard this, they didn't have to take out the food themselves, and their hearts were a little calmer. After all, in the past ten years, you have come and gone, King Fu, Li Zicheng, Tartars, traitors and now the loyal camp, everyone who comes has to loot it, a good Luoyang City, even these rich people have to tighten their belts to live.
"We all listen to Grandpa Guo's arrangement."
"Yes, what the prince tells us to do, we will do."
...
Hou Xuanyan raised his hand and pressed it, and the voice below gradually quieted down: "I have a temporary method, which will be implemented for a year this year, and when the refugees return to their hometowns in the coming year, I will send someone to count the population and divide the ownerless land equally according to the population." ”
Whenever the troubled times end, there will always be a situation of vast land and sparse population, which is a major redistribution. It has been nearly 30 years since the thieves of the Chongzhen Dynasty rebelled, and the number of deaths in the world is not only tens of millions, but how to restore people's livelihood is a huge project.
"What's the plan of the Guogong?"
"Take a village as a team, plant local fields, and choose a respected person as the captain of the team, and the captain is responsible for recording the working hours of each family, and everyone eats the same pot of rice. During this period, I provided the food needed by the troops, and half of the food produced during the year was divided among the families according to the hours worked, and the rest was returned to me. ”
The gentry looked at each other, which was unheard of, but fortunately it did them no harm. Moreover, Guogong said that it will only be implemented for one year, and the land will be divided after the next year. The gentry of this era were not as vicious as later generations imagined, but in fact, there were still many enlightened and good families. Hearing that Hou Xuanyan's method was indeed beneficial to Henan, these people got rid of the fear in their hearts and began to make suggestions.
These people stayed in King Fu's mansion for one night, and Hou Xuanyan held a banquet to entertain the generals of the loyal battalion, and these people were regarded as accompaniment.
There was a big night banquet in the Fuwang Mansion, because it was a difficult period after the war, and dozens of tables of simple wine and food were not sumptuous enough, but everyone's mood was high.
Many generals looked at Hou Xuanyan's eyes, extremely eager, although everyone is only a minister of Zhongxing, but if he chooses to change the dynasty, these people are from the dragon's work.
At this time, a personal soldier came in, clenched his fists and said: "Commander, I have found one hundred and fifty-three officials appointed and dismissed by the Qing court in the whole city." ”
Hou Xuanyan raised his glass and said, "Chop!" Come, I will drink this cup with you to celebrate the second minister's fufa. ”
After a while, another personal soldier came in, and he clenched his fists excitedly and said: "Commander, Wu Sangui led the troops to commit Hanzhong, and the family members who stayed in Luoyang have been captured, a total of seventy-three people!" ”
"Slash! Come, let's drink this cup together and celebrate the destruction of the traitors. ”
The joy of the basic success of the Northern Expedition made Hou Xuanyan greedy for a few cups, and his face was already a little red. At this time, the young general leaned closer and said, "Commander, Chen Yuanyuan on the Qinhuai River is also among them. ”
Hou Xuanyan slapped the table and said angrily: "What kind of person are you and I Hou Xuanyan!" ”
Hou Xuanyan's personal soldiers were all his henchmen, and he was not very panicked when he saw that he was angry, so he changed his words and said: "The commander is angry, and he will go to break the law by marking it." ”
"Fart, Lao Tzu has made such a contribution, and it is really natural to sleep with one or two peerless beauties. You covered it up, and you still leaned into Lao Tzu's ear before saying, it's really a lewd villain. Hou Xuanyan was drunk and hazy, slapped the table, and shouted: "Send Chen Yuanyuan to my room, let her see tonight, Lao Tzu is not only better than Wu Sangui in war." ”
