In the second year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty was still immersed in the happiness of the new emperor ascending the throne and overthrowing the eunuchs. Ministers are fighting to eliminate the vacancies left by the eunuchs.

There is a state of numbness for the uprisings of displaced people everywhere. Many officials believe that the displaced people will rebel when they have nothing to eat, and as long as the climate improves and crops grow in the fields, the displaced people will disperse and will not threaten the Ming Dynasty's control at all. The local governors have even more of a good deal with the problem of displaced people, concealing the situation of the disaster and the uprising and not reporting it, or passing the buck to each other and blaming others.

There are not many people who see that this is a huge crisis, and Yang He and Hong Chengchou are among the few court officials who sense that the crisis is coming.

However, it was as if God was going to make an experiment for the two of them to appear in Shaanxi at the same time, and they adopted completely different methods for solving the problem of the peasant uprising.

Yang He is a good person, a good person uses good people's methods, he realized that the peasant uprising was due to too many displaced people, as long as the displaced people were appeased, then the uprising would be gone.

He sincerely went to recruit those thieves. When the thieves are gone, the world is at peace. Yang He's sincerity really impressed the thieves, and they happily went to greet Yang He to accept the appeasement, and then vowed not to rebel again. At the beginning of his tenure, Yang He's strategy was undoubtedly successful.

Hong Chengchou is a smart and hard-working person, since he was a child, he studied very hard, and was very successful, all the way to participate in the township examination, the examination, and finally took the seventeenth place in the country, and the fourteenth place in the second class of the Bingchen Science Palace, and was born as a Jinshi. After that, his career was smooth sailing, and he served as the governor of Shaanxi Province in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and he was still in this position when Yang He took office on the three sides.

In the spring of the second year of Chongzhen, Governor Yang's appeasement was very successful, and the displaced people who revolted from all over the country came to surrender one after another. But the accident still happened, some people in Shaanxi think that it is better to be appeased than to do it themselves, this person is Wang Zuohang, Wang Zuohang has raised the banner of righteousness in the first year of Chongzhen, and launched an uprising in Yichuan. He became famous not because of the early rebellion, but because the younger brothers he recruited were very powerful, and a few years later, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zicheng were under his command. At this time, Wang Zuohang's subordinates did not have these cattle people, but he still wanted to do something.

In this year, Wang Zuojiao led people to attack Hancheng. Han Cheng's distress document was sent to the Trilateral Governor's Mansion, and Yang He found that he had no generals to send as the Trilateral Governor, but Han Cheng was in a hurry and could not help it, so he gave Hong Chengchou, who was a civil official, an order to send troops to rescue Han Cheng.

This paper order changed the trajectory of Hong Chengchou's life, after he received the order, he did not shirk, did not procrastinate, and immediately led people to set off, do civil officials have soldiers? No.

The soldiers led by Hong Chengchou were his own family members, servants, men, and some villagers recruited along the way.

Hong Chengchou rushed to Hancheng in a hurry, and then hurriedly started a war with Wang Zuohang.

Wang Zuohang has never seen such a desperate one. The gathered homeless people were dispersed at once, and more than 300 people were killed by Hong Chengchou, and the siege of Hancheng was lifted. Hong Chengchou suddenly became famous and became a symbol of being able to fight habitually, and all this was just the beginning.

Hong Chengchou, like Yang He, saw the crisis of the uprising of the displaced people, and also understood that the uprising was caused by too many displaced people, so he decided to reduce the number of displaced people. His method is different from Yang He's, and he believes that there is only one way to reduce the number of displaced people: killing. Because he is smarter than Yang He and sees farther, the finances of the Ming Dynasty are no longer capable of rehousing more displaced people, and if the displaced people are appeased, there is nowhere to resettle them, and they will only be resentenced. Therefore, in the subsequent campaign, Hong Chengchou never relented, killing those who did not surrender to the rebel army, and killing those who surrendered, with only one purpose, to reduce the number of displaced people, and the uprising of the peasants would end if there were fewer displaced people. He faithfully carried out his beliefs. Since then, Hong Chengchou has become a nightmare for the rebels.

Such a scene on the land of Shaanxi has become the norm, the rebel army has killed the rich, the landlord is gone, the property is gone, the poor join the rebel army, Hong Chengchou is here, the rebel army is gone, and the property is gone.

That's right, after the officers and soldiers, the same property is gone. It is impossible for Hong Chengchou to let people kill people in vain, and the reason why he was able to mobilize the officials and soldiers to kill people was because he allowed the officials and soldiers to have no property after that. Then the officers and thieves were gone, and the white land was really clean.

A group of teams under the banner of officials and soldiers entered the picture, they neither suppressed bandits nor robbed property, and only waited for Hong Chengchou's team to rob and withdraw before entering the village. They did come to farm.

After Hong Chengchou sent troops to Hancheng, Yang He received a letter from Zhang Chu to extend the garrison, in which Zhang Chu congratulated Governor Yang on the success of his appeasement, and at the same time made a small suggestion, it is now the season of spring ploughing, if it is a pity to miss the agricultural time, the displaced people who are appeased must also have work to avoid another counter-judgment, Zhang Chu is willing to pay money, send people to farm in the area of Shaanxi that was destroyed by thieves, and resume production. All it takes is a few letters of introduction from the Governor to avoid misunderstandings with local officials.

Yang He was worried about the resettlement of the displaced people, and found that there were still people who took the overall situation into account and were benevolent and righteous, and they were able to resettle the displaced people at their own expense, so he immediately agreed and wrote a warrant for Zhang Chu, asking him to carry out spring plowing on the deserted land to resume production.

Yang He took Zhang Chu's letter, and was very emotional in his heart, although this Zhang Chu had a bit of a problem, but seeing that his letter was written sincerely, it was all the words of the old man to seek the country, and he was willing to do practical things, which was really rare.

The security forces are highly efficient. In order not to cause misunderstanding, they took the letter from the Governor and informed Hong Chengchou and the local government offices, saying that they had come to farm on the orders of the Governor.

Hong Chengchou was not interested in the clean fields after the robbery, and the local government thought that it was better to go less outside the dangerous city. Whoever wants to do the farming will do it well, and when there is a harvest, go and grab it.

The security forces gathered the population that had survived the catastrophe, built farms on unowned land, and established a system of armor protection in the villages. Some of the displaced people were hired to work on the farms.

The security army really invested in this time, and transferred many experienced security chiefs from Yanchang County, as well as a large number of seed farm tools, some of which were made of extravagant iron.

In order to guard against thieves, a militia was organized in the farm, and it is said that the cavalry of the extended garrison often appeared on the farm. The small group of thieves and the officers and soldiers who wanted to occupy the Xuanxuan were very interesting, and most of them left consciously after seeing the excellent equipment of the cavalry, and the rest of the brains were not good, and no one saw them again in this world.
