Mixed 100,000 abandoned the territory to develop in Gansu, Su and Ningxia in the west, and Zhu Yuanzhang took over Yan'an Mansion as a matter of course. He sent Xu Renjie as the general, Wang Er and Xue Hongqi as the deputy generals, led the army to the north, uprooted the Hengtian King and his group, and took Yulin and other cities back into his hands, but he himself stayed in Yan'an and did not leave, because in his opinion, the Hengtian King was already vulnerable, and he no longer needed to personally lead the troops to go, for him, it was more important for him to clean up the mess in the internal affairs of northern Shaanxi.

Xu Renjie was appointed as a general, naturally very proud, happily led more than 10,000 people to the northern expedition to Hengtianwang, it took more than a month, Fang Shi pacified northern Shaanxi, and I will not mention it here for the time being.

Let's talk about the internal affairs of northern Shaanxi, Zhu Yuanzhang took over northern Shaanxi from the hands of 100,000 people, only to find that it was already very miserable, mixed 100,000 people do not produce, only know looting, ruling northern Shaanxi for more than a year, has made northern Shaanxi a big injury, except for a few cities are barely surviving, the villages outside the city have been almost destroyed.

(Note: In fact, not only northern Shaanxi is like this, the Central Plains at that time basically became this situation, Chongzhen ten years Yang Sichang to the Chongzhen Emperor into the speech, the original text is as follows: south of the Yellow River, north of the river, east and west seven or eight thousand miles, until there are prefectures and counties are still there, and the rest of the villages are dilapidated and embarrassing. Yesterday, the minister came from the second mansion of Xiangyang in Huguang Jingzhou and the second mansion of Kaifeng in Nanyang, Henan, and saw that there was not a single straw for hundreds of miles in the place, and the people were cannibalistic, so they could not bear to speak. ）

It would be quite difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to rebuild this destructive dead domain.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid, he has long had experience in dealing with this kind of mess. In his last life, when he defeated the Yuan Dynasty and dominated the world, the Central Plains, which was once fertile and full of humanities, had already been shattered by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty. Guanzhong, Lianghuai, Huguang and other places have repeatedly caused wars and chaos, the population has suffered huge losses, and the social economy has withered. So Zhu Yuanzhang organized a "Hongwu Great Migration" to move the population from the prosperous area to the sparsely populated area.

The Hongwu Great Migration was an unprecedented success, laying the foundation for the re-prosperity of the Central Plains culture, and with the experience of this Great Migration. Zhu Yuanzhang wants to do a good job in northern Shaanxi. What's the point?

Due to the war in northern Shaanxi a few days ago, many people from northern Shaanxi moved south into southern Shaanxi, and now he first informed these people if they were willing to return to their hometowns in northern Shaanxi. More fields will be distributed to them. and silver money was given to each household. On the way to the emigrate, Zhu Jun soldiers escorted them to ensure their safety, and when they arrived at the place, Zhu Jun officials would receive and resettle them and allocate land. Farm tools are given as gifts......

As soon as this order came out, many people were happy to come, and we Chinese have the most homeland plot, and when we heard that returning to our homeland had such benefits, whoever refused to go back was a fool. The people who had poured into southern Shaanxi immediately poured back to open up the wasteland and use the potato planting techniques they had learned from southern Shaanxi to grow new grain.

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the families of Cupola Zhu, Chao 100,000 and others to return to northern Shaanxi, and he also accepted many family members of the Hengtian King's army, and now he has also put them back in northern Shaanxi, on the one hand, to reclaim the wasteland, on the other hand, they can be used to accommodate the soldiers of the Hengtian King who are about to collapse.

Because the Hengtian King will soon be killed by Xu Renjie, after his death, his subordinates will definitely be scattered, and then these family members can be used to take back the soldiers of Xingsan and return them to their usefulness. He had already prepared these calculations when he took in these family members a few years ago, and it was naturally easy and smooth to do at this time.

The only troublesome problem is that so much new territory has been acquired, and the 100 officials who were recruited through the imperial examination not long ago are not enough. Zhu Yuanzhang waved his pen, and the 100th to 200th candidates in the specially approved science examination were also hired.

These candidates thought that they had failed the exam and went home disheartened, but they suddenly received a notice from Zhu Jun at this time, saying that they had also been hired exceptionally, and they were overjoyed and hurried to Yan'an one by one to take office. After Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, he asked someone to bring Ma Xinyu over, Ma Xinyu had studied with Li Qingshui for several months, and he also had a little experience in coordinating in the middle, so now he had to catch the duck on the shelves and let him deal with the affairs of northern Shaanxi.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also vigorously excavated the scholars in northern Shaanxi, just like the original Luochuan Li Panlong, he also hoped to find a few more to work for himself, but this is more difficult to find, mixing 100,000, Hengtianwang, and Cupola Pillar The three bastards almost killed the scholars in northern Shaanxi, and now it is not easy to find out a few.

On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang was dealing with political affairs and was very busy, when he suddenly heard a spy come in and report: "Brother Zhu, when we were looking for a local reader, we accidentally found a poetry club...... Other scholars applauded, it seems that they are going to be taught badly by him, should such a person be arrested and killed? ”

"Oh? And this kind of thing? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled dumbly: "What did he say?" ”

Where did the spy say clearly, shook his head and said: "I don't understand what he cares about, I only know that it is unfavorable to us Zhu Jun, because everyone who listens to it says ...... Say...... Cough...... It's right to say that the thief's weakness is this ......"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that even if these spies under him could read two words, they would not understand them, but he did not blame him, and said with a smile: "Then you can take me to listen to it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang put on makeup, put on Confucian clothes, let Ma Xiaotian only bring two or three brothers, and also disguised himself as a servant, the red lady saw that there was a lively to see, and also dressed up as a little maid, as soon as she went, Ma Xinyu didn't do it anymore, and clamored to go, fortunately he didn't need to wear makeup, he was born to look like a scholar, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was good to have a scholar to follow, maybe he could deal with many scenes through him, so he also took him, and the group went out of Yan'an Mansion and went to a poetry club in the north of the city.

When I arrived at the place, I found that this place was not like a poetry society at all, but like a peasant compound, it turned out that after the mixed 100,000 occupied Yan'an, many scholars were killed, and many scholars fled here, and escaped the persecution of the mixed 100,000 under the cover of the peasant compound. Naturally, this poetry society would not have a name, and if it wasn't for the spies to find out, others wouldn't be able to think of a place here.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and the others walked to the door, a farmer came out to stop them and said, "You guys are so good-looking, what are you doing here?" ”

Ma Xinyu stepped forward and waved it, and said in a low voice: "Ma Xinyu, who was born in Baishui, is a ...... who reads the book of sages I heard that there is a secret poetry society here, and I came to meet friends with literature. ”

The farmer's eyes flashed: "There is no poetry club here, who are you listening to nonsense?" ”

Ma Xinyu said in a low voice: "There is a good brother who met in the academy in the late life, and he was killed by the bastard of 100,000 bastards, and the late life hated to save him, so before he died, he told the late life that there was a academy here, and asked the late life to help him when it was convenient...... Now that Baishui Zhu Ba occupies this city, Zhu Ba and I are both Baishui people, and we have deceived his trust and infiltrated this city, wanting to pick up the brothers who are hiding here and escape from Yan'an Mansion. ”

As soon as he said this, the farmer believed three points, and Ma Xinyu was full of bookishness, and believed two points, so he believed five points.

Ma Xinyu said again: "Please believe in the late life, if the late born is a thief, why do you need to say more to you, bring the thief soldiers to raze this place in one fell swoop." ”

The farmer thought to himself, this is also true, if he is really a bad person, he knows that there is a secret poetry society here, and he has already brought thieves to kill us, there is no need to be so pretentious.

So the farmer opened the door, put Zhu Yuanzhang and his party into the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "There is a lecture in the courtyard, you can go in by yourself." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage entered the inner courtyard, only to see a large warehouse filled with grass valley at this time sitting fifty or sixty scholars, listening to the lecture of a person in the front, this person is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a Confucian shirt, full of righteousness, it seems that he is full of poetry and books, at this time he is sitting in front of the reader said: "Although we are trapped by the rogue, but ...... As long as we hold out here for a year and a half, the officers and soldiers will break through this city, and then we will be saved......"

When Ma Xiaotian heard his words, he smiled secretly in his heart and said in a low voice: "Where did he get the confidence that the officers and soldiers can defeat our Zhu army in a year and a half?" ”

The red lady said: "He seems to be very knowledgeable...... He probably won't talk nonsense...... Is there any major flaw in our Zhu Jun? ”

Ma Xinyu didn't speak in a low voice, he raised his voice directly: "This brother, when I first arrived in my late life, I heard you have such a high argument, and I dared to ask, why did the officers and soldiers break this city?" ”

The man was stunned, and when he saw that there was a new arrival, he suddenly refreshed his senses and said happily: "It turns out that there is a new brother coming, sit down quickly, and the official sees that someone has escaped the poisonous hand of the thief and hid here, and his heart is very good." ”

Hearing him call himself his own official, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others were shocked, this person is still a court official? Everyone pushed Ma Xinyu, Ma Xinyu understood, hugged his fists and said: "Late-born Ma Xinyu, ask rudely, you claim to be your own official, isn't it ......"

The man said with a smile: "This official is a native of Weihui Xinxiang, Henan, named Zhang Jinyan, Chongzhen four years of Xinwei Kejinshi, the love of the Son of Heaven, appointed Qingjian County, took office to the halfway point, passed through Yan'an Mansion, was trapped by thieves, and hid here for more than a year, ashamed, this official has not seen a glimpse of Qingjian County so far, it is really a nominal county order, alas...... Panic. ”

So that's the case, Ma Xinyu and the others understood his origin, and they all thought in their hearts: This person was trapped by thieves on the way to office, but he was really a miserable bear child.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard his name, he was slightly taken aback, this person ...... Isn't it just to open the gates of Beijing to surrender and let Li Zicheng enter Beijing?

It turned out that in normal history, Zhang Jinyan waited for a few years after Chongzhen's four-year entrance examination, and then took up the post of Qingjian Zhixian, and then served as the Sanyuan Zhixian, and then entered Beijing as the head of the household department. In the early morning of March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Jinyan hit the Zhengyang Gate to welcome Liu Zongmin into Beijing, and then Chongzhen hanged himself in Jingshan, and the Ming Dynasty perished.

In this time and space, Zhu Yuanzhang occupied southern Shaanxi, mixed 100,000 and others to occupy northern Shaanxi, and as a result, Qingjian County fell into the hands of thieves, and even became a place where Ten Heavens, Hengtian King, Scorpion Block, Zhu Ba and others fought, Zhang Jinyan could not take office, and what happened later in his life could never happen again.
