Yang He is a native of Wuling County, Changde Prefecture, Huguang, and a jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli. I hadn't trained in the frontier before, and I was deprived of my official position in the middle. Later, he was recruited from his hometown and was appointed as the Imperial History of the Left Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He has been promoted to the deputy capital of the Associate Academy, and this official position will not be transferred as a rule. However, because of the rampant Liukou in Shaanxi, and the mutiny of the soldiers in Guyuan Town, the former governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, died of illness.

When the news reached the ears of the officials in Beijing, many people said that Wu Zhiwang was worried that he committed suicide by taking poison because of the successive accidents in Shaanxi.

Looking at the complicated situation in Shaanxi, the officials who were qualified to succeed in the capital were frightened, resulting in no one daring to take over the important post of governor of the three sides for several months. The officials had no other way but to push Yang He, a noble official, to take the job.

Chongzhen also personally summoned Yang He and talked to him about the affairs of Shaanxi and gave him great expectations. So Yang He had no choice but to take office. He had to stop the Mongol invasion in the autumn every year, and at the same time deal with the thieves who gradually grew and raged in the interior. The situation in Shaanxi that Yang He faced was far more complex and difficult than all his predecessors.

However, Yang He still cheered up and began to deal with them one by one after understanding the situation. First of all, with the help of the governors and general soldiers of various defense areas, he constantly exterminated the rogues who emerged and pacified the troubled soldiers and civilians in various places. Half a year after Yang He's arrival, the Hannan thieves were directly put down, and the situation in Yansui began to be rough, and the situation in Shaanxi seemed to be about to stabilize.

Unexpectedly, the change in the situation did come from outside Shaanxi, at this time Houjin suddenly detoured into the Guannei, the core city of the Ming Dynasty began martial law, and the five major towns along the border of Shaanxi also successively sent troops to Qinwang.

At that time, Wu Zimian, the chief soldier of Yansui, Yang Qi, the chief soldier of Shaanxi, You Shilu, the chief soldier of Ningxia, Wang Chengen, the chief soldier of Lintao, and Yang Jiamo, the chief soldier of Gansu, brought more than 17,000 elite soldiers from Shaanxi to help in the first month of the third year of Chongzhen. Liu Guangsheng, the governor of Shaanxi, and Mei Zhihuan, the governor of Gansu, also personally led the troops out of the eastern part of the country, and Zhang Mengjing, the governor of Yansui, died of illness on the way to the guard.

Without the supervision of the commanders-in-chief, the thieves everywhere are ready to move. At that time, Yang He, who was the governor of the three sides, was moving the provincial capital, and he was also preparing to lead his troops into the king of Weiqin. However, he suddenly heard that thousands of thieves in Yanqing went straight to Hancheng, and the crisis forced Yang He to urgently transfer back the troops of the palace logistics king who had just left Tongguan.

Li Hongsi, Liu Guodong and others, who were recalled, hurried away in the starry night, and attacked the thieves in the middle of the road. After quickly lifting the siege of Hancheng, Li Hongsi and others continued to take soldiers out of the pass to help.

However, rebellion began to break out in Yanyan and other areas, and Yang He had to mobilize himself to attack Xia Youqi, Li Yangdong and others again. However, there are too many thieves and seedlings in Shaanxi, and relying on the only remaining strength on Yang He's hands, let alone completely eliminating them according to the previous plan, even the suppression of mitigation has exhausted Yang He's strength at hand.

After that, Wang Jiayin, the thief of Yansui East Road, broke through Fugu, and Yang He, Hong Chengchou and others worked together to suppress it. Unexpectedly, Shen Yiyuan on Yansui West Road made trouble again, and successively captured the three forts on the West Road, and then occupied Baoan County. Yang He could only send himself to guard Chen Youmo with Zhang Yingchang, Yuan Panlong and others to encircle and suppress Shen Yiyuan.

Originally, the news that they had killed Shen Yiyuan and others inspired many people's hearts. Then He Huchen and Du Wenhuan also led their troops to the city, and Yang He thought that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. But who thought of it, and then came the news of the defeat of the besieging officers and troops.

After that, the scattered thieves attacked everywhere, and Yang He, who was exhausted, could only deal with the thieves in various places. When Shen Yikui and his troops besieged Qingyang on February 24, Yang He was still worried about how to prepare the money, food, soldiers and horses needed to guard Guyuan Town.

When he received the news on 25 February, he could only go to Ningzhou with less than 300 governors around him. At that time, the officers and soldiers refused to go, but it was Yang He who got down from the carriage and cursed, and forced them to start marching with whips and military methods.

Later, Yang He got the news that Heshui County was surrounded, and the waterway of Qingyang Fucheng had also been cut off, and the fall of the two places was only in the evening. But the other recruited officers and soldiers had not yet arrived, so Yang He could only send someone to appease him.

But not long after the people were sent out, Yang He learned that Heshui County had been captured. Therefore, Yang He can only hope that the people who have been appeased can arrive as soon as possible, so as not to let the Qingyang Mansion City also fall to the thieves.

In less than two years, things happened one after another, and Yang He felt that his position as the governor of the three sides was too difficult to sit on. The gray hair on his head during this time would definitely surprise all his relatives and old friends. Yang He, who is now anxious, is worrying about the newly received Tang Bao with the Ningzhou Public Office and Ningzhou Zhizhou Sunday.

The Tang Bao placed on Yang He's case was to the effect that Zhang Yingchang, the deputy general of Dingbian, defeated Shen Yikui's subordinates in a surprise attack on the third day of the first month of March, and successfully relieved the crisis in Qingyang Mansion.

When he first received this report, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, laughed excitedly. But when he remembered the person he had sent out to appease before, Yang He couldn't help but wonder if the reason for the success of this siege was caused by his own appeasement.

As soon as his side sent people to appease him, the officers and soldiers immediately launched a surprise attack. Wouldn't the thief think that he was using a plan to die, and Liu Keguan and Miao Guangxian, who he sent, would definitely die.

After this incident, most of them will no longer trust the government's willingness to appease. Moreover, the next actions of many thieves will definitely not have any scruples, these people will definitely let their subordinates go around to attack the city and besiege the official army. Therefore, if Yang He still wants to appease Shen Yikui and others in the future, it will be difficult in all aspects.

Ningzhou Zhizhou Sunday Qiang looked at the trilateral governor Yang He and frowned, naturally knowing what this adult was worried about. Sunday Qiang is also a firm Fu faction, so after thinking for a while, he said to Yang He: "My lord, I am willing to rush to the thief camp alone and re-recruit Shen Yikui and others. ”

"We pacified them, and the officers and soldiers launched a night attack on them. The thieves will no longer trust the government, and if you go, you will only lose your life in vain. ”

"My lord, one person is insignificant. However, the strategy of appeasement is related to the current situation of the entire Qingyang Mansion. Since it was the thieves who first sent us to ask for help, they must not want to continue to do evil. As long as the lowly position is willing to take the lead by example, the lord will strictly order the officials and soldiers not to attack the gods and subordinates. The thief must understand the sincerity of the adult, and is willing to ask the adult for plausion again. ”

"But ......." Before Yang He could finish speaking, the subordinates in charge of guarding outside suddenly came to report that a group of thieves had appeared outside Ningzhou City.
