Today's Dingyu Town, that is, the original Guyuan Town, after Yuan Chonghuan arrived as the governor of the three sides, considering that the land in Guyuan Town, deep in Liupan Mountain, was barren and poor, and he was unable to garrison the army, and it didn't take long for him to report to Emperor Chongzhen's consent to move the trilateral governor's yamen to Huamachi, where the governor's yamen had been stationed, and Guyuan Town was also moved to Huamachi, which was the salt pond of Gansu in later generations, and was renamed Dingyu Town.

With the approval of Emperor Chongzhen, the trilateral governor's yamen set up a trilateral salt transportation department and a tea and horse division, and opened a field outside the Huamachi to carry out salt and tea and horse exchanges with the left and right wings of Ordos, and the financial situation has greatly improved, changing the situation of arrears of pay and lack of food, lack of food and clothing in the past.

Not only did the Guyuan Mutiny that had occurred in history not happen, but the escape of the Han Hui soldiers in Guyuan Town was also greatly alleviated.

Today's predicament is nothing more than the fact that food prices remain high.

Although the drought in the three sides of Shaanxi is much the same, the place where Huamachi is located is not far from the Yellow River in Ningxia, with ditches and rivers and lakes all over the place.

In addition, on both sides of the Yellow River in Ningxia, some family members who originally belonged to the army in Guyuan Town and hungry people in Guyuan, Qingyang, Pingliang and other places were recruited to grow potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops there, and the grain shortage situation was much better than that on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi.

At least since the beginning of winter, there has not been a situation where starvation is everywhere and hungry people gather to rebel as in northern Shaanxi.

It can be seen from this that the yamen of the trilateral governor moved to Huamachi, and Guyuan Town moved along the Great Wall of Fanghetao and changed it to Dingyu Town, which is really the right move.

After the relocation, there was no shortage of silver, horses, or meat in the yamen of the trilateral governors, and now all that was needed was the population, that is, the population used to expand the cantonment.

Therefore, after the rebellion of the rebels in northern Shaanxi, Yuan Chonghuan sent military orders to the governors of Yansui, Shaanxi, and Gansu under the governors of the three sides, and the backbone of the thieves were not allowed to be appeased, and the grass must be cut down and eradicated.

Historically, when Yang He was the governor of the three sides, after appeasing the thieves, he always incorporated his backbone into the official army, and then resettled the rebels on the spot.

And the northern Shaanxi provinces in the Chongzhen years almost did not make a disaster, basically every year of drought, locusts every year.

Therefore, Yang He's method of settling on the spot can't work at all, the hungry people are thieves because they can't survive in the local area, you settle him in the local area, it's okay to have food relief, once there is no relief, he will be a thief again.

This is the reason why the current Emperor Chongzhen opposes the appeasement of thieves.

Now Yuan Chonghuan has recruited people in Ningxia, Dinglu and other areas along the Yellow Strip to settle and cultivate, but he can move the hungry people who were forced from thieves to settle there for farming.

It is said that Chen Qiyu, who participated in the politics of Yansui, took 3,000 officers and cavalry, escorted a large number of chaotic people with their hands tied, passed through Jingbian and Dingbian, and went all the way to Huamachi, Sun Chuanting sent the patrol according to the imperial history Li Yingqi and the Suide guard general Du Wenhuan, went to the mountains near Mizhi, found and completely burned the old camp of Wang Jiayin and others, and he and He Shiyu set off to return to Yulin City to replenish and recuperate.

Sun Chuanting thought that after defeating this large number of thieves, how could the territory under the jurisdiction of Yansui Town be quiet for a while, at least let the soldiers under his command who had been running around for more than two months have a good year in peace.

As a result, a few days after Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu returned to Yulin City with the exhausted officials and soldiers of Yansui Town, news of a rebellion came from the direction of Suidezhou.

In Jiazhou below Suide, a part of the Mojiao Hui people gathered a crowd to rebel under the leadership of a fugitive from Guyuan Town, nicknamed Lao Huihui, and joined forces with the thieves such as King Zijin Liang and Gao Yingxiang, who fled to Jiaxian County, and took the county seat of Jiaxian, killed the officials of the court in Jiaxian County, and gathered five or six thousand people again for a time, and the momentum was revived.

At the same time, Wang Jiayin, Wang Er, and Wang Zuohang, who fled to Yichuan a month ago, also gathered a crowd to capture Yichuan County after a period of hibernation, killed the officials defending the city, burned and looted in the city, and demanded money and grain.

Sun Chuanting had no choice but to gather the official army of Yansui Town again, with a total of 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers, all the way to Jia County.

At the same time, he also wrote to Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, and agreed that after exterminating the thieves in Jiaxian County, he would attack from the north and south and suppress the thieves who occupied Yichuan.

However, this time the suppression of bandits was far less successful than the last one.

The words show that the officers and soldiers at the end of the year, when they meet Jianyu, although their combat effectiveness is not good, but whenever they encounter rogues, they always win more with less, and they are invincible.

When Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang and other bandit leaders first started to get into trouble, they dared to fight against the officials and soldiers with their impression that the Ming officials and troops were corrupt and vulnerable, but after suffering several defeats, they quickly learned to be smart, and never fought hard battles with the officials and soldiers face to face, but used the backbone of the thieves in their old camp to drive a group of hungry people to besiege layer after layer, once the siege failed, these bandit leaders would lead their old camp thieves to flee far away.

This is also the reason why when the thieves were exterminated at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they always won a big victory, but they could not completely eradicate the thieves.

Wang Jiayin, Wang Ziyong, Gao Yingxiang, these bandit leaders, of course, are all heroes in the troubled times, such people are not stupid, so they returned defeated outside the city of Yan'an, especially after returning from another defeat outside Suide City, these people have grown wise and smart.

When Sun Chuanting and He Shiyu worked hard to take the officials and troops of Yansui Town, crossed the entire mountainous area of northern Shaanxi, and were about to approach Jia County, on the last day of the first year of Chongzhen, these thieves once again looted in the city, and then set fire to Jia County, carrying a large number of people in Jia County, all the way to the east, stepping on the Yellow River that had been frozen at this time, and fled to the territory of Wubao in Lishi, Shanxi, opposite the Yellow River.

At the same time, the thieves of Wang Jiayin's department, who had already exchanged news with the thieves in Jia County, did not give Hong Chengchou, who led the troops to come to encircle and suppress, any chance, and heard that the governor of Shaanxi sent troops to encircle and suppress, and immediately burned Yichuan County, carrying a large number of Yichuan people, and also fled eastward, crossed the Yellow River from the frozen Hukou, and fled into Jizhou in Shanxi.

At this point, Emperor Chongzhen's original plan to contain the thieves in northern Shaanxi had not officially begun, and it had failed.

The thieves in Shaanxi were chased to Shanxi by the officials and troops of Shaanxi, as happened in history.

Although the relocation of the trilateral governor's yamen and Guyuan town allowed the army of Guyuan town to find a way to survive, it still failed to lure the thieves of Shaanxi to the west.

The Yellow River, which began to freeze in November in this time and space, gave the thieves a godsend opportunity to cross the river to the east and enter Shanxi to cause chaos without difficulty.

When Emperor Chongzhen received reports from Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Yansui Governor Sun Chuanting, and Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou within two days of the eighteenth and nineteenth days of the first lunar month, a deep sense of powerlessness and helplessness surged in his heart for the first time.
