Xue Guoguan said this, it is not a new assertion, as early as before, someone wrote to the imperial court that Zhu Changyuan and Xiong Wencan were in collusion, and similarly, this is also a pimple in Chongzhen's heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you want to say that you don't suspect it, it's impossible, but suspicion is suspicion, there is no evidence, and Zhu Changyuan is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of appeasing Shaanxi, and the court doesn't want to move him until the last resort.

Compared with the situation in Shaanxi, Xiangyang can be said to be suffering from ringworm and scabies, and Shaanxi is a major problem.

After a little weighing, in fact, the emperor didn't want Zhu Changyuan to go to Xiangyang, but since the minister had an opinion, this matter could not be said clearly, and he had to find someone who could touch his thoughts.

Looking at the main hall, it finally fell on Yang Sichang.

But Yang Sichang was concerned about his nose and eyes this time, and he looked like he didn't listen to what was going on outside the window.

The reason why he did this was that it was inconvenient for him to answer.

Is Zhu Changyuan suspicious?

Of course!

Not to mention Xue Guoguan, even he Yang Sichang himself has doubts about this matter, but Zhu Changyuan was also recommended by him to Shaanxi, if he jumps out now and says that Zhu Changyuan and Xiong Wencan have a leg, isn't this his own mouth?

Xiong Wencan was recommended by him at the beginning, but Xiong Wencan cut off Jingxiang, and now if Zhu Changyuan is wrong, then his old face really can't be put in the court.

If Zhu Changyuan really has objections, and the evidence is conclusive, he will be a big deal, the most serious thing is to cut off his head, it doesn't matter, but the key is whether Zhu Changyuan really has a leg with Xiong Wencan now, and it is still in the speculation stage.

Yes, Yang Sichang can't come out to speak, it's better not to say anything.

But don't say no, because Chongzhen named him.

"What does Yang Aiqing think?"

Chongzhen secretly said that you are still playing Tai Chi with Lao Tzu, thinking that you can hide without talking, dream!

"Your Majesty."

listened to Yang Sichang's words. Chongzhen still felt that he underestimated his level of playing Tai Chi, "Since Your Majesty has crowned Xiong Wencan, why bother him again, now Jianyu has been confronting Hong Chengchou's army outside the gate for a long time." The minister thought that it was not appropriate to use troops against Jing Xiang at this time. ”

Yang Sichang's words, not only stated his position, but also did not express his position on the matter of whether Zhu Changyuan and Xiong Wencan were in the same leg, which can be described as a fighter in Taiji, so that the emperor and his old people couldn't help but admire.

"Your Majesty!"

Xue Guoguan had to speak again. was stopped by Chongzhen waved his hand, and said: "Xue Aiqing is also sharing worries for the king, and there is no fault, this matter is so decided, you go to draw up a decree, commend Zhu Changyuan for his meritorious service in governing Shaanxi, and give ten altars of fine wine." In addition, Xiong Wencan was instructed to eliminate the bandits in Xiangyang Mansion as soon as possible, and he must make every effort to provide convenience for Zhu Changyuan to appease Shaanxi! ”

"Yes!"

Xue Guoguan was also a member of the cabinet and received an edict from the emperor. Had to start with.

Xiong Wencan was not only fine, but was made a big official, while Zhu Changyuan continued to appease Shaanxi, and in this way, the matter came to an end.

It has been more than half a month since Zhu Changyuan received the edict and wine from the imperial court.

At this time, Hanzhong was the time for rice planting.

Rice planting, of course, is to fertilize, this is not afraid. Hanzhong is not just such a place, the total fertile soil that can be cultivated is only 3 million mu, and the transportation of compound fertilizer is less than 20,000 tons, which he prepared as early as ten days ago.

But. The only trouble is that the people who are farming, especially the local farmers, are particularly disgusted by adding compound fertilizer to the land, thinking that Zhu Changyuan is fooling them.

Many people gathered in protest, refusing to fertilize the fields.

Zhu Changyuan was not afraid, with his high-pressure policy and the 100,000 troops captured from Luo Rucai. forced all the people in Hanzhong to use chemical fertilizers, and this wave was gradually suppressed.

Paddy fields are not as good as dry fields, as long as they are fertilized and the seedlings are planted and watered, they generally do not need much management, and at most they are waiting for the harvest at that time, so after planting the paddy fields, the farmers are still very idle.

Zhu Changyuan naturally would not allow them to be idle, and let all the peasants and soldiers who were on the government's relief either carry medicine buckets on their backs all day long to spray medicine to prevent and control locusts, or to herd ducks, anyway, there is only one purpose, to prevent and control locust plagues.

Hanzhong has a lot of rain in spring and summer, and it is close to the Han River, so compared with the area north of the Qinling Mountains, it belongs to the kind of locust plague disaster in Shaanxi that is relatively light.

With Zhu Changyuan's governance, after the arrival of summer, there was no large-scale locust plague as usual, and even if some locusts appeared in the fields, they were eaten up by ducks early.

Quite simply, newborn locusts cannot fly for half a month or even longer, they are small and cannot migrate, and although they are numerous, they are not enough for ducks and other poultry to eat.

Therefore, in the year of Zhu Changyuan's rule, the number of locusts in Hanzhong has been at an acceptable level since late spring, and according to Zhu Changyuan's estimate and Professor Gu's prediction, there should be no more large-scale locust plagues.

After hearing the news, Zhu Changyuan breathed a deep sigh of relief, the efforts made in the past few months to appease Shaanxi were not in vain after all.

However, Hanzhong does not represent the whole of Shaanxi, and there are still signs of locust plagues in other places except Hanzhong, especially on the Weihe Plain, where the larvae of locusts have begun to fly in droves due to drought.

Zhu Changyuan knew that it was easy to govern Hanzhong, and it was difficult to govern the entire Shaanxi, so after settling the land of Hanzhong, he began to set his sights on the Weiping Plain.

Weiping Plain, is the legendary Qinchuan, also called Guanzhong in the Han and Tang dynasties, here not only the land is fertile, but also the terrain is flat, can be planted on a large scale winter wheat, which is not afraid of locusts.

Naturally, there are troubles, for example, Li Zicheng in the Shaanxi anti-thief giant is in Chang'an City, and there are 200 cannons on the head of Chang'an City, and it can be said that it is extremely difficult for these soldiers of his own to be captured.

Although it is difficult, it is necessary to cultivate the land on the Weiping plain before the second crop in Hanzhong is ripe, so as to ensure that the winter wheat does not miss the sowing day.

And if you want to plant before the second crop is ripe, you must at least beat Li Zicheng down or drive him away when the first crop is ripe, only then will there be enough time to organize and mobilize manpower to tidy up the land.

It also takes a lot of time to transport fertilizer to the modern society.

What to do?

Fight. It is true that he used peaceful means to appease Shaanxi, but if he didn't use some iron-blooded wrists, he couldn't do anything! The ancestor said well: everything should be relaxed and moderate, and yin and yang should be used interchangeably. to achieve the best results.

Chairman Mao and his old man said well: everything is a unity of contradictions!

cough cough, thinking far away, Zhu Changyuan straightened out the things to be done during this period of time, and then, in Hanzhong, he issued the second order of Shaanxi Zhaofu Envoy: Attack Li Zicheng.

The time has also been set. Just when the first crop of early rice in Hanzhong was ripe. (ps: At present, late rice is planted in Hanzhong, and the maturity time is relatively late, and the novel is deliberately changed to early rice, if it is early rice, it will be ripe in early June of the solar calendar.) Don't lift the bar! ）

When the rice was ripe, it was the time to attack Li Zicheng, and the news spread rapidly in the land of Hanzhong, and it spread all over the corners of the Hanzhong Plain in just two days.

Five days later, even Li Zicheng, who was in Chang'an City, Shaanxi, got the news.

heard that Zhu Changyuan was going to attack him soon after, and he also released a sentence to set a time and date like marrying. Li Zicheng really couldn't cry or laugh.

Your uncle's!

You said hit me and hit me? When do you say attack, attack?

Who do you think you are?

Even if you are Zhu Changyuan, even if you are invincible, don't forget that you suffered a defeat at the hands of Lao Tzu not long ago, and fled to Hanzhong in embarrassment.

Relying on this battle, Li Zicheng's prestige in the entire Shaanxi region reached an unprecedented height.

"Big joke!" took the news in his hand to Niu Jinxing and the others beside him, smiled coldly, and said: "The big words have been said, if we can't capture our Chang'an City at that time, won't it become the laughing stock of the world?" ”

Niu Jinxing looked at the news reported by the people below, and frowned slightly. said: "Could this be Zhu Changyuan's suspicious plan?" ”

"Possibly!" Liu Zongmin nodded, thinking deeply: "I've seen a lot of voices attacking the west, but if our Chang'an is the east." And where is Nasi? ”

Yes, Zhu Changyuan's suspicious plan, there is always a place to attack!

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!" Li Zicheng thought for a while and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of, even if he strikes the west?" We have 200 cannons at the head of Chang'an City, and if he wants to attack the city, he will be asking for his own death. As for the rest of the cities such as Weinan and Huazhou. And they also set up forts and forts, and what did they do with other things? ”

"The top priority at the moment is to store food, as long as you have food in your hands, you are not afraid!"

Li Zicheng is trapped in Shaanxi, it is impossible not to eat, hundreds of thousands of troops under his command are waiting to be fed, but it is not just by reputation can be suppressed, it depends on real rice and white flour, and now in the whole land of Shaanxi, gold and silver are not good.

As for the source of food, it's also simple, grab it!

After robbing the big households in Chang'an, I went to Weinan to rob them, and then I went to Huazhou City to rob them.

This is one of Li Zicheng's open source methods.

Second, the farmers in Shaanxi are not stupid, although the yield of winter wheat is a little smaller, but they can have a harvest to some extent, so they will not be affected by the locust plague, so this second method is to plant winter wheat.

As for throttling, it's simpler, one is to reduce the mouth, and the other is to reduce the number of people.

Those who reduce their appetite only eat one meal a day and do not have enough to eat.

Those who reduce the number of people can be pulled out to fight, and if the people are killed, they will not need to be fed, and the flesh of the dead can also be cut off and made into jerky to supply the army.

It's cruel, but it's also a way to live.

"Now the big families in the whole Shaanxi are almost robbed by us, fortunately, the wheat is about to ripen, although this year's harvest is not very good, but this difficulty can be passed, but the time before the wheat is ripe, I am afraid it is a little difficult to survive."

Niu Jinxing said.

Li Zicheng shook his hand and said: "Continue to reduce the mouth, and stipulate that each soldier will change from the original one meal a day to one meal every two days. ”

"Yes!"

Li Zicheng here thought that Zhu Changyuan was attacking the west, or bragging, but a few days later, when he received the No. 3 appeasement order issued by Zhu Changyuan to all the people of Shaanxi, he was completely furious. (To be continued.) )
