That night, Li Zicheng burned all the military supplies in the city, drove 100,000 troops and people into Zhu Changyuan's military camp, and he only took Liu Zongmin and other more than 100 cavalry across Weishui, and fled all the way to the north. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info [Latest Chapter Reading]

And Zhu Changyuan, at first, thought that the enemy army was attacking the camp, so he specially transferred the army to resist, and it took him a long time to figure out that the other party had come to surrender.

Immediately laughed and accepted everyone, and then led the army to officially enter Chang'an, the super metropolis of the Ming Empire.

Although there are not many materials in Chang'an City, the geographical location and the height of the city wall alone are enough for Zhu Changyuan to sleep with a smile until dawn.

As for chasing Li Zicheng, there is no need.

Once all the refugees in Shaanxi become ordinary people with homes to return to and food to eat, no matter how great Li Zicheng's ability is, will he still be able to pull up a team to rebel?

Impossible.

Besides, what can you do if you catch Li Zicheng and send it to Emperor Chongzhen to ask for credit?

The next day, Kong He was transferred from Hanzhong to train the army in Shaanxi, and he sent Po Gu to Hanzhong to defend the town, and at the same time to collect local taxes and grain.

This year, there was a bumper harvest of early rice in Hanzhong, and under the influence of Zhu Changyuan's chemical fertilizers and seeds, the yield per mu of land reached an unprecedented 600 kilograms.

Although it is one-third less than Yuan Longping's target of 900 kilograms per mu of hybrid rice, it is a shame for the old scientist, but don't forget that this is a parallel world, and this is his first trial planting, so it is already good to have this kind of yield.

With 3 million mu of land, the output of early rice in Hanzhong reached an unprecedented 1.8 million tons, and the tax grain collected by Zhu Changyuan plus the land planted by his army added up to almost 1 million tons.

Even if Zhu Changyuan took away one million tons, he left 800,000 tons for the people of Hanzhong.

What is the concept of 800,000 tons, according to the calculation of one pound of rice a day for one person, it is enough for 300,000 people to eat for 15 years. Therefore, Zhu Changyuan's gift to them can be said to be greater than the sky, the same. They were also generous in their payment of their taxes.

It was too difficult to transport so much grain from Hanzhong to the Weiping Plains.

According to the practice of ordinary people, it is impossible to transport 800,000 tons of grain in a year by relying solely on manpower and animal power to take the Meridian Valley Trail.

But who is Zhu Changyuan. That's a super plug-in, just put a huge ship in Hanzhong, and only need the sergeant in Hanzhong to hit the tax grain into the boat.

This method is not only good, but also fast, but I didn't expect it before.

And. There is also a greater benefit: Zhu Changyuan's giant ship can not sail in the water, Lao Tzu only needs to build a support on dry land, and forcibly put the big cargo ship on the ground, Nima's original ship that can only carry 30,000 tons is now not a problem to load 100,000 tons.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about the lack of draft, as for whether the load will crush the hull if it is large, Zhu Changyuan has not considered this at all.

The problem of food is solved, and the next step is to solve the matter of farming.

I don't know how many large and small cities there are in the entire Weihe Plain, and now one Chang'an has just been defeated, and the rest of Ruozhu Changyuan are all attacking one by one. I really don't know when I will be able to capture it, I'm afraid that when the time comes, let alone farming, the daylilies will be cold.

Therefore, the remaining cities can only be received by appeasement measures, not by force.

Moreover, after the battle of Chang'an City, Zhu Changyuan believed that the soldiers and guards in the surrounding cities, large and small, might have already become frightened birds. Once you receive a surrender letter, you will definitely agree to surrender.

After all, they are all forced by life to make a living through resistance. It's not that there is any enmity with the Ming Empire and the government.

Sure enough, as Zhu Changyuan expected, after his surrender letter was issued, someone came to surrender soon.

A day later, Gaoling, Sanyuan, Weinan and Xianyang surrendered!

Two days later, Tongchuan and Huaxian looked at the wind.

Ten days later, Fufeng, Fengxiang and even Baoj and Tongguan. Send in the table.

Half a month later, the entire Weihe Plain, no matter how big or small, was taken by Zhu Changyuan without blood.

At this point, most of the things that appeased Shaanxi have been completed.

In the land of Shaanxi, there are only three places that are relatively rich in history, one is the 800-mile Qinchuan, which can be described as the fertile soil in Guanzhong; The second is the land of Hanzhong, which has the reputation of small Jiangnan, and the third is Ningxia, which has been called "plugging the south of the Yangtze River" since ancient times.

Now that the two largest of these three rich lands have fallen into the hands of Zhu Changyuan, and he has surplus grain in his hands that can feed the entire Shaanxi people for a year, he doesn't believe that after he distributes the grain in his hands to the people, Li Zicheng and his ilk can still recruit soldiers?

Therefore, most of the task of appeasing Shaanxi has been completed, but most of it is not all, and it is necessary to develop sustainably, eliminate the locust plague, and fight against the dry weather.

The most important thing is to let millions of people in Shaanxi have a home to return to and a field to plant.

Then the task of the moment comes.

First things first: count the number of people!

In the entire Weinan Plain, there were 1.2 million refugees, and Li Zicheng left behind 300,000 soldiers. A total of 1.5 million people.

Moreover, the number of refugees in the entire Weinan Plain is still increasing, and they are all ordinary people who come from all over Shanxi to eat.

According to Zhu Changyuan's estimates, the number of refugees is very likely to eventually exceed 3 million or even 4 million. But he is not worried, with a million tons of grain in his hands, even if five million people come, they will be able to sustain a year, or even more.

In the following time, the second crop in Hanzhong began to be sown, and the second season was planted with corn, Zhu Changyuan did his best to deliver a large amount of corn seeds and fertilizers from modern society, as long as there was no such extreme bad weather, he believed that this autumn would definitely be a big harvest.

As for the Wei Plain, where Chang'an City is located, even if there is a locust plague, it is a white seed if it is planted, and Zhu Changyuan does not need that effort.

Of course, even if we don't plant the land, we can't leave the more than a million people idle, and the autumn crops can be left unplanted, but now we need to make adequate preparations to ensure that the winter wheat can be planted smoothly.

First of all, it is necessary to harvest the winter wheat that Li Zicheng planted, although there is not much, but the mosquito legs are also r, right?

Then, preparations began for the next locust eradication work.

All the people west of Chang'an were evacuated and all migrated to fill the plains east of Chang'an.

As we all know, the Weihe Plain is known as the Qinchuan River of 800 miles, the area is extremely broad, and it is fertile field, with Chang'an as the center is divided into two halves, the area in the west is a little smaller, and the east is a little bigger, but in general it will not be too bad.

The reason why Zhu Changyuan moved all the residents west of Chang'an to the east was because with his current strength, he really couldn't develop the entire Guanzhong, and it would be very good to be able to develop half of it.

People must be self-aware, Zhu Changyuan still knows this, otherwise if he blindly develops and swallows up the entire Wei Level, he will not be able to digest it, and it may even be possible to eat the consequences in the end.

Well, without further ado, after all the refugees arrive in the east, first of all, intercept the flow!

Of course, it is to intercept the Wei water, but it is not to intercept all the flow in the traditional sense, but to build a dam at regular intervals in the Wei River, and the height of the dam is about the same as the water level of the river in a normal year.

As a result, in arid Shaanxi, the Weishui water, which has a very small water flow, was cut off.

However, it is not completely truncated, once the intercepted water accumulates to a certain height, it will overflow to the next interception section, so that the amount of water in the entire Wei River can be restored to its usual normal year without flooding.

What can you do with water?

It can do many things, such as irrigation, domestic water, and can partially improve the harsh environment. But that's not all, water has an equally great role in killing locusts!

Yes, you read that right, water does kill locusts.

Locust eggs can hatch in large quantities in arid soil, which is the most fundamental reason why locust plagues and droughts accompany each other, but what happens if the entire land of the Weihe Plain is watered during the locust egg hatching stage?

Then you don't have to think about it, the hatching level of locust eggs will return to normal years, and there will be no large-scale locust plagues. However, this is all for next year, this year, the eggs of the locusts have hatched, and now, the locusts are all over the sky.

Fly and fly, anyway, the autumn grain Lao Tzu is not ready to plant.

However, it is still necessary to organize the extermination of locusts.

Insects are phototaxis, and lighting bonfires along the entire Weishui coast at night can also kill a lot.

In addition to these things, there is one most important thing: the delivery of supplies.

Although it is not planted in autumn, the seeds and fertilizers needed for winter wheat must be obtained.

Roughly calculated, there are about 15 million mu of land in the entire eastern part of Chang'an, and at least 10 million mu can be planted except for those that cannot be planted.

How much fertilizer is needed for 10 million mu of land, according to 50 kilograms per mu of land, 500,000 tons are needed in the initial stage.

Transportation is not afraid, the big deal is only a dozen ships, but where to find such a large amount of fertilizer, is modern society, people's production is also limited, you need to book in advance or even money.

Therefore, during this period, Zhu Changyuan returned to modern society again, and specifically explained Liu Guang's purchase of seeds and fertilizers.

After all the preparations were made, Zhu Changyuan did another thing that made the whole world look sideways: he led an army of 300,000 to Guyuan and plundered Ningxia in the north, and scared Li Zicheng so much that he ran to distant Gansu and even more west, and suddenly Shaanxi was settled.

But it's not the end, the ending is that Zhu Changyuan's 300,000 troops crossed the Yellow River and suddenly appeared on the Mongolian steppe, plundering Mongolia for 3,000 miles, breaking nine in a row.

Then, drive countless cattle and horses back to Weishui!

This is his ultimate goal, in fact, this expedition, Li Zicheng is not important, the most important thing is that these captured cattle and horses, Nima is about to farm, how can it be done without cattle and horses, and the whole of Shaanxi can be cultivated by tractors, right?
