Qin Gui put his hands in his sleeves and smiled: "Master Yang, you are also joking, where did you come from." We are all ordinary people, where do we come from. ”

Yang Fan smiled and asked, "I don't know where this peasant rebel army has broken through?" Yang Fan rarely asked on the surface, but he had been paying attention to the matter of this peasant uprising, and now he had been going all the way for a long time, and he still asked.

"This bandit, this bandit has been going wave after wave over the years, and he can't finish killing or catching up, he is all the anti-leaders in the northwest."

"Are there any mountain bandits here who have voted for the Ming army and Zhao'an?" Yang Fan asked. What he needs now is to find a few strongholds, automatically go west, and hold Kuizhou and Longzhou respectively, so as to prevent Zhang Xianzhong from becoming a climate and establishing the Daxi regime. Yang Fan did this with a plan. First of all, whether the number of Da Ming Qi is approaching, Yang Fan is not easy to say.

Protecting Huguang Bashu can block Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng in Shaanxi. At the moment, he has no power or power, but he must be responsible for this nation. If Nanming really fell, then to drive out the Tartars, you have to rely on the peasant army to revolt, at this time, if there are still two regimes, it is difficult to raise a banner to resist together. Of course, this is all an afterthought, and Yang Fan's most important thing is to save this Nanfu Heavenly Kingdom from war. Because according to historical data, Zhang Xianzhong practiced more tyranny in Sichuan, even more than the end of the Ming Dynasty, so Yang Fan never thought of taking refuge in Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong.

"There are a lot of this, I know it in the light, there are old Huang Zhong in Shaoshan, Gai Tianhu, etc., but it is said that they have been edicted by the imperial court, and from time to time there are still people who come down from the mountain to grab something, but they suffer those people from outside the city."

"Doesn't the imperial court care?"

The storyteller said, "How can you manage it." ”

"Lu Xiangsheng, what about Governor Lu? Didn't he think about curing them? Yang Fan knew that Lu Xiangsheng was serving as the governor of Huguang, so he came to inquire.

"As soon as the court came, they hid, and they were very well-behaved. As soon as the officers and soldiers left, they had only been settled for a few days, and then they went down the mountain again in search of food. But fortunately, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, at least not like those mud legs who kill people without blinking and grabbing wherever they go. ”

How Li Zicheng governs the army. Yang Fan at least recalled from the historical data, it didn't seem to be that bad, but the gang of people under Zhang Xianzhong's hands were in chaos. Smash, smash, rob and burn. Doing everything, such an uprising can only be said to be a rebellion, a rebellion, and it cannot be praised. Therefore, later generations evaluated the two important leaders who led the uprising. Zhang Xianzhong depreciated more than praised.

When Yang Fan understood the situation in the Huguang area, he estimated that Zhang Xianzhong was going to fight Huguang, and then enter Sichuan, and at some times, he said: "Old Qin, give you some time to inquire about the forces, people and leaders of the various parties entrenched in the Huguang area. ”

"Yes, Master Yang."

"Okay, that's it for today, after you find out. Just go to the Yuelai Inn and find me. That's it today, eyeliner should not be too casual in development, you must find some reliable people, so as not to be uprooted by others. ”

"This Yang Ye rest assured."

If the natural disaster is not over, then production in the Central Plains cannot be restored. The peasant uprising would not have ended. This is also the reason why Li Zicheng, who has been beaten again and again, can make a comeback again and again. Yang Fan could see it clearly, so he asked Zhu Youzhen to cultivate more potatoes and sweet potatoes with large yields to appease the peasant uprisings in the northwest and the Central Plains. As a result, he thought of the beginning. But I didn't expect the ending. Whether it was a million dollars of grain he levied, or the potatoes and sweet potatoes he promoted, they were all used as military salaries.

Anyway, the east does not fight the west, and it is not only to suppress the bandits and to pay the money. Yang Fan didn't even know how to help this precarious Ming. He had been to the letters. How to cultivate grain is also presented, and even the academy and chamber of commerce are helping Zhu Youzhen consolidate this crumbling country all the time.

It's a pity that Zhu Youzhen is not sober enough, and Yang Fan is not the emperor. If you want Yang Fan to be Qu Yuan, be Zhuge Liang. Sorry, it can't be done. Why take things seriously that you know will not come to fruition? This is what Yang Fan thinks. Since you don't listen, then let it be. Isn't it possible for Lao Tzu to leave?

When he first met Zhu Youzhen in Jingshi, Yang Fan thought about whether a person could only understand that what he was doing was wrong after tasting the bitterness. As a result, the Daling River was victorious, and there was a great drought in Shaanxi, Yang Fan helped resolve one crisis after another, but Zhu Youzhen began to distrust the crises Yang Fan said.

The peasant uprising, Yang Fan said early on that he should be pacified as soon as possible. As a result, God didn't give face, and he didn't look in the mirror, thinking that there would be no war in the north, and he could slowly clean up the peasant army in Shaanxi and Shanxi. Fought year after year. Yang Fanguang has experienced three years from Chongzhen to now, and he is still fighting. Every time the good news was Zhu Youzhen's profound belief that the peasant uprising could be suppressed, and the country quickly settled down. As a result, wave after wave, pressing the gourd to float the scoop, although the army of the Ming Dynasty fought against the rebel army, it seemed to be very majestic, but the loss of national strength was also not small.

Yang Fan returned to the inn, rested for a while, and then wrote a letter to the governor of Huguang, the prime minister of Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and Sichuan military affairs Lu Xiangsheng. The letter did not mention a single word about the war and the strategy of governing the country, he just wrote some about Lu Cheng in the academy, and what he saw and heard along the way from Jinling to Changsha these days. It looks more like an ordinary letter between two old friends. However, Yang Fan took it very seriously, and after writing it again, he felt that there was something wrong with it, and revised it several times before Chen Wangting ordered someone to send it.

No matter how ** or degenerate an imperial court is, there are always some people who are willing to work hard and even give their lives to protect this country and this nation. These people are often praised by later generations as the backbone of the nation, and they stand up in times of difficulty. Lu Xiangsheng is, but Hong Chengchou is not. Sun Chengzong is, but Zu Dashou is not. However, it is always the backbone of those nations that die, and those who survive, or live well, are those who have betrayed the nation and have lost the integrity of loyal ministers and not two masters.

Yang Fan stood at the window, the warm sunlight poured in, Yang Fan took a chair and sat quietly. The warmth of the sun and the cold of the wind made him enjoy this feeling. I don't know how long it took for him to mutter, as if to say to himself, "They are all the master's dogs, some of them are fierce, and some of them are soft-boned." What about me? Hehe. He shook his head, his heart was mixed, and he couldn't say why. (To be continued.) )
