Since there is no one to help Du Wenhuan speak, things are easy to do, a large number of civil officials of the Donglin Party jumped out and began to bombard unilaterally, you say Du Wenhuan should be killed, I say Du Wenhuan should be killed, he will say Du Wenhuan should be killed, and he will say Du Wenhuan again...... Anyway, the whole person will be rectified to death. Even loose officials who did not belong to the Donglin Party and whose political views did not agree with the main battle faction jumped out to help. Anyway, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! Defeat the generals of the main battle faction, everyone is responsible!

After making a fuss like this for a while, Emperor Chongzhen saw that the Manchu officials were stepping on Du Wenhuan, so he had nothing to be depressed about, and directly clapped the decision: "Go to prison and resign from your job!" ”

This clapper is a very simple thing for them, but for Du Wenhuan, it is a big bad luck, although a little selfish and ruthless, but in fact there are two brushes of the chief military officer, since then he withdrew from the stage of history, until eleven years later, that is, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he was remembered by the anxious governor Yang Wenyue, and was fished out of prison to reinstate the thief, and the result was ...... At that time, the thief had become a thief, and Du Wenhuan had no choice but to return from his illness.

Yang He, the governor of the three sides, was dismissed, Du Wenhuan, the chief soldier of Tingsui, was also finished, and Wu Fu, the imperial historian, was also dead.

Emperor Chongzhen suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Since Yang He has decided to dismiss him, the Zhongqing family will recommend a new governor to me, and this time I will recommend it after thinking clearly!" You have to be both civil and military, and you can clean up that group of rogues, really capable characters, otherwise don't take it out and make me angry. ”

Chongzhen said a little heavily, the tone was not very good, he had been the emperor for a few years, and he slowly began to familiarize himself with the style of the officials, once there was a vacancy like a big official position like the governor of the three sides, the various factions would immediately fight for their heads, and they wanted to stuff their own person into that position, regardless of whether that person really had the ability or not. The result is to elevate the incompetent to important positions and then make a mess of things.

Although he is the emperor, although he is very aware that there is such a thing, he is powerless to solve it, because the officials are intertwined, forming a huge network of relationships, even the emperor does not dare to challenge it easily, so he has to do his best to suppress it with verbal threats before the incident happens.

Sometimes, he really hopes that he can be like his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang, with his iron-blooded and ruthless wrists and incomparably powerful control, to kill all these messy officials...... You're going to steal? Kill! You're going to be slippery? Kill! You're going to form a party? Kill! Do you want to go private? Kill! Do you dare to get power? Kill! I'll kill! Kill, kill, kill! It may be comfortable for me to kill you inexplicable guys cleanly, and then recruit a new batch of clean officials to do things for me!

It's a pity that he is not Zhu Yuanzhang, and he can't learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, his small body can't bear such a heavy burden, and he doesn't have the courage to carry out such an iron-blooded cleansing of officialdom, and he can't deal with these old and slippery bastards.

Emperor Chongzhen was outside the spirit, and suddenly, a civil official jumped out of the main hall, it was Zhang Chengzhao in the matter, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a new candidate for the governor of the three sides, and he wants to recommend one or two to the emperor." ”

"Say!"

"The former Shaanxi * West Governor of the Grain Road, the current Governor of Tingsui, Hong Chengchou!" Zhang Chengzhao said loudly: "In recent years, Guanzhong has been restless, thieves are running around, and a large number of officials led by Yang He and Du Wenhuan have been played by thieves...... All the thieves who have fought with Lord Hong have only escaped in the wilderness, and this new trilateral governor is really none other than Lord Hong. ”

"Oh? Hong Chengchou? Emperor Chongzhen heard this name, his brows stretched slightly, because this name is indeed a very worry-free name for him, whenever he sees the three words Hong Chengchou on the chapter, it will always be followed by the words "great victory", "great defeat and thief", so far, Chongzhen has not seen a bad news.

His frowning expression was suddenly seen in his heart by a group of civil and military officials.

The officials in the court, all of them are smart enough to become goblins, and the best thing to do is to find even the slightest trace of spiders from the emperor's face, Chongzhen's eyebrows just rose by half a piece, and the big eunuch Cao Huachun, who was standing next to him, said: "Lord Hong is good, and the slave also thinks that the governor of the three sides is none other than Lord Hong." ”

Hong Chengchou is a member of the Donglin Party, Cao Huachun is good friends with the Donglin Party, since the emperor has frowned, at this time he quickly opened his mouth to please the emperor, and at the same time it is not bad to give the Donglin Party a big gift, of course Cao Huachun This old goblin will not let go of such an opportunity.

As soon as he, the big eunuch, made a statement, the civil and military officials below were even more affirmed, who didn't know that Gonggong Cao's eyes were sharp? He is the person who understands the emperor's mind best, and if he dares to say this, it must be that the emperor's heart is biased towards Hong Chengchou......

The civil officials of the Donglin Party could not miss the opportunity, and the governor of the three sides was expected to install the people of our Donglin Party, how could there be no reason not to get ahead, a large number of civil officials jumped out and said in unison: "Weichen also recommended Lord Hong Chengchou to serve as the governor of the three sides." ”

"In that case...... That's it! Chongzhen said with a calm face: "Retreat!" ”

Just when the situation in the court was changing, the lights were being displayed in Baishui County, and the pennant was fluttering. Zhu Yuanzhang led the heroes of Huanglong Cottage to occupy Baishui City for 20 days, and in 20 days, Zhu Yuanzhang has controlled all the situations in Baishui City, and a large group of officials led by Cao Baoxiang, the county commander, have also packed up and started to work for Zhu Yuanzhang.

In addition to the sentries who stayed at the four city gates, all the leaders and soldiers under Zhu Yuanzhang gathered in the square in front of the yaqian...... Not only were the leaders and thieves piled up in the square, but even the natives and officials of Whitewater City were actually interested in coming to watch one or two.

There were also many merchants and gentry crowded in the crowd, all of whom were idle and bored to have fun. For example, when he came back from robbing the money from Luochuan, took off the masked scarf, and put on the old man's robe, Master Xu Renjie Xu was surrounded by a bunch of merchants from Baishui City at this time, standing next to him to watch the excitement.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the public hall of the yamen, and every little while, he called a person's name and asked him to go in to receive the reward, and the people who were pointed out were leaders and soldiers, and whoever was pointed out would run to the lobby with round legs, and after a while, he walked out in the envious eyes of the people around him.

At this time, it was Ma Xiaotian who came out, his face was full of red, he was overjoyed, and as soon as he walked out of the lobby, he was immediately surrounded by a group of soldiers: "Leader Xiaotian, what did you get rewarded this time?" ”

"Hahaha!" Ma Xiaotian laughed proudly: "Xigu Village...... Hahaha...... Bugling Zhu rewarded me with the entire Xigu Village, haha...... In the future, all the land in Xigu Village will be mine...... It's all mine, hahaha! ”

"This ......" soldiers sweat profusely, isn't Xigu Village the poorest, most dilapidated, and worst village in Baishui? Except for a small pond that has dried up, there is not a drop of water to be found! What's so nice about having that thing?

Ma Xiaotian's face was full of smugness: "When God rains and the small pond is filled with water again, Lao Tzu wants to build Xigu Village into the most beautiful and richest village in Baishui, you group of soil will wait for Lao Tzu to see!" ”

"Hah!" All the soldiers laughed.

At this time, Miao Mei also came out of the lobby, Ma Xiaotian turned around and punched Miao Mei in the shoulder: "What did Brother Miao get?" ”

Miao Mei spread her hands: "When our army entered the city, a merchant in the south of the city left his house and field and fled with his family, and Zhu Bugs gave me the house and field, huh...... When I think about it, it seems like there are fifty acres of land. ”

"Fifty acres?" A group of minions had green eyes.

Miao Mei smiled bitterly: "You are envious, so much land, where can I farm?" Damn, even if Lao Tzu is digging in the ground from morning to night, he can't finish plowing such a large field, not to mention that Lao Tzu still has to train soldiers, learn to read and write, and learn the art of war. ”

"Brother Miaomei, how are you ...... So stupid? Do you still need to plow the ground yourself? Hire someone! The soldiers laughed: "Wouldn't it be enough to hire some long-term and short-term laborers to help you farm the land?" ”

"What? Hire someone? Miao Mei was a little dazed: "Before...... Someone else hired me, and I really didn't think I could hire someone else...... This...... How? ”

"Find the poorest idlers in the city, shout, and hire them." The soldiers all laughed: "Let's go, Brother Miaomei, let's hire someone to ...... with you."

Miao Mei's head was still a little dizzy, he hadn't woken up from the transformation of a farmer into a landlord, and he was pushed away by a group of soldiers in a daze.

The soldiers were summoned, and according to the size of their meritorious service, from one acre to ten acres of land, from small grass huts to large mansions, each of them received a considerable amount of wealth, and everyone had a smile on their faces. Due to successive years of drought, countless deaths, the population of Baishui and Chengcheng counties has suffered great losses, and many fields have been abandoned, Zhu Yuanzhang is not worried about the lack of land division, what he has to worry about is that God will continue to drought, these fields are allocated to the soldiers, they actually cannot cultivate, and they have to wait for the "Xiaoice River period" to pass before they can really use these fields.

Zhu Yuanzhang is the only one in this world who knows that the duration of the Xiaoice River period is still more than ten years long...... In the past ten years, the world will continue to drought, year after year, and the great drought that will kill people will be ......
