Ang Lee personally picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Ma Shiyao.

"This wine is for Brother Ma to see him off, I wish you a smooth journey." He poured a full wine for Ma Shiyao, today Ma Shiyao was wearing a gray robe, before coming out of the camp, he had just taken a bath, trimmed his face and haircut, and his beard was also carefully trimmed, with a long shirt and a six-fold hat, he looked like a landlord's shopkeeper.

Li An saw that he was not very easy, so he said, "Actually, it's okay not to go back to your hometown, you think, you fought a lot of wars in Shaanxi in those years, and in your hometown, there were many gentry, landlords, and wealthy businessmen who copied it, and you offended many people, and your reputation was not good." This time, when you are a flat-headed citizen, there will be people who will come to you to settle accounts, and maybe, you will have to bear the name of a thief for the rest of your life. ”

"This is to Monan, the sky is high and the earth is far away, everything is a new start. After five years of collective cultivation on the farm, when the time comes, the land is available, and then I marry an aunt, and the life will not be better. When I have time, I will bring my children back to my hometown in the future, and build tombs to worship my ancestors. ”

Ma Shiyao took the wine, drank it all, and gently put the cup on the table.

"yes, it all started again, and I really don't have the face to go back. Carrying the name of a thief on his back, they all said that he returned home, how could I have the face to go back like this. Go to Mo Nan or start over, five years later, I will be free to get rid of it, no longer have to carry this heavy burden, every day I am scared, to be honest, I haven't slept a good night over the years, always have nightmares, yesterday I knew the results of the disposal, I slept very well at night, slept until dawn all night, never had a steadfastness. ”

Ang Lee also raised his glass and took a sip of wine, not all at once, but just a small sip to pay for it. Today is a rare vacation time, and you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the barracks in normal times, but you are out on vacation. As long as you don't get drunk, it's fine. Today is to see off the fellow countrymen, Li An specially ordered a jar of five dimes for two catties of daughter red, but he had never had the opportunity to drink such good wine before.

The wine is in the throat and a little hot.

"Let him go through the past, don't the newspapers say every day that it's a new society. In the past, it was the decaying old society of the Ming Dynasty. Now it's a new society in the Age of Empires, and everything is different. In the past, we couldn't survive, you were a thief, I fled, this is no way. But now, everyone has the opportunity to choose again and be a new person. Although the frontier is far away, it is also new and beautiful. ”

Li An patted the fellow's arm, "You have already washed your feet and gone ashore." But there are still a lot of fellow villagers, but they are still following the obsessive thieves, hey. ”

Ma Shiyao also knew that Li Zicheng was not dead, and it is said that he fled to Hanzhong to vote for Cao Cao and Luo Rucai, and together they embraced Zhu Youxiang, the prince of Luoyang Zhu Changxun, as the emperor, and Zhu Youxiang also named Li Zicheng a loyal king.

Chung Wang.

Thinking of this title, Ma Shiyao felt a little ridiculous. In the past, he also believed in Li Zicheng so much, and felt that Li Zicheng had an indescribable charm. Now it seems that there is no way out at all by following Li Zicheng.

They did rebel to survive. But now Li Zicheng refuses to accept the court's recruitment, and still holds the former Ming clan, this is his personal ambition.

"I heard you're pulling out too?" Ma Shiyao asked.

"Well, westward." Li Andao, there is not much to say, although the Western Expeditionary Army will enter Gansu after entering Shaanxi. It was predetermined, but he still tried not to say much to people outside the army.

The task has already been issued from above, and the vanguard of the former army will soon set off and be stationed in various provinces in Shaanxi. The light cavalry troops were to enter the line of the Yellow River.

It is said that the emperor prepared to establish a new Ningxia Province in the Hetao area, which was also another major move after the imperial court set up the Shaanxi Xingdu Division as Gansu Province and the Huguang Xingdu Division as Hubei Province in the pre-Ming Dynasty.

It is also a new province established in the west of the Hetao after the imperial court established Suiyuan in the north of Shanxi.

Although Suiyuan Province also includes the Hetao, but only includes the former part of the East Loop, and now the imperial court has included the western part of the Later and the Front, that is, Lingzhou, Ningxia, Wuyuan and other places, plus the Ordos and Alxa regions on both sides of the Hetao.

Nowadays, in addition to the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the past, the imperial court has established many new provinces, including Hubei from Huguang, Gansu from Shaanxi, Jiangbei from Nanzhili, Liaoxi from Liaodong, and Taiwan, Hainan, Yanbei, Zhuyuan, Monan, Ningxia and other provinces.

He had heard from the chief of staff of his own standard, as if it was also a means of consolidating the frontier. Try to divide the areas controlled by the Hu Yi in the past into several pieces, and then attach the original border areas controlled by the Central Plains to establish a new province. Sending officials to garrison the army is equivalent to weakening the power of the Hu people in the frontier, allowing the Han people to open up the real border and strengthen their control over the frontier.

According to him, in the future, the imperial court may continue to expand beyond the borders and establish new provinces after controlling the northwestern and southwestern provinces.

For example, Ningxia and Suiyuan, which were established in the Hetao area, and Gansu, which were established in Hexi, were equivalent to expanding the original Shaanxi boundary. Shaanxi is the core province, Ningxia, Suiyuan, Gansu three provinces for the development of provinces, in addition to the three provinces will be set up in the future, but those provinces will not have such a strong control, can only be regarded as a kind of fetters province.

Ang Lee doesn't know much about this, but he also thinks it's a good thing to expand his territory.

It is said that during the Han and Tang dynasties, they all operated the Western Regions and extended their borders to the Tianshan Mountains in the extreme west. In Li An's military geography class, he once saw a map drawn by an instructor, on which there was the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, which was extremely far away from Xi'an, and even farther away than Xi'an to Shandong by the sea in the east.

He is very happy and proud to be a member of the pioneering army.

He had been awarded a medal in the Battle of Yanbei and a reward from Xuntian, and he hoped to make new contributions in the development of the Western Regions. If you can make another meritorious service and get a medal, then you will have another piece of merit reward.

He was clearly more interested in the reward that came with the medal than in the monetary reward that came with the medal.

The two fellows from the yellow earth drank very happily and returned happily.

On the other side of Chang'an City.

Zheng Zhilong, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, was discussing with his generals, who had just received a commendation edict from Beijing. The emperor learned that he had successfully entered Shaanxi and took Xi'an.

They were given a rich reward, and Zheng Zhilong alone was given 10,000 silver dollars.

"Your Majesty is very pleased with our progress." Zheng Zhilong's gaze swept over everyone.

Everyone looked excited, they didn't care about this reward, every Han army general. They are all rich, and they are happy that this operation went smoothly, far surpassing the other three-way soldiers, which is a very long-faced thing, and it also means that there will be a better future.

Zheng Zhilong sat down, and he stroked his beautiful beard. He continued, "However, Your Majesty vetoed our plan to march into Gansu immediately by victory, and did not agree to our pursuit into Hanzhong Shudi. ”

"Your Majesty, let us calm down first and take some time to stabilize Shaanxi, the imperial court has selected a large number of local officials, who are about to come to take office. We have to maintain the stability of the local area before they take office, especially since the imperial court will build a new province of Ningxia, which requires our preparation and support. ”

Zheng Zhilong is a general of the expedition to the west. He is also the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and at the same time, as usual, he is also the governor of Shaanxi, as the supreme governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and now he has to add a Ningxia province, and he has also become the governor of the three provinces.

He had just learned that the emperor had sent him two new governors, one was Hong Chengchou, the governor of Gansu, and the other was Sun Chuanting, the governor of Ningxia.

This pair was originally from Shaanxi, and was a famous minister during the Chongzhen period. Able to be literate and martial, he is especially good at leading troops to fight. Betrayed by his subordinates in the Battle of Songjin. The city was captured, and he was never willing to surrender.

Now that the Han and Qing dynasties are making peace, the Qing people will return all the Ming officials who had been captured one by one.

The emperor sent these two people over, which made Zheng Zhilong still a little stressed.

Zheng Zhilong planned to clean up the Guanzhong area before the two arrived, so that the two of them knew their abilities.

"Let's not rush westward for the time being. First of all, Shaanxi was smoothed out, and Ningxia Province was well prepared. To smooth out Shaanxi, the most important thing is to smooth out these local gentry. ”

All the generals smiled slightly, and it was not easy to deal with a group of landlords and gentry.

Just like when they were in Shanxi, those who have been thieves have been thieves. All of them were arrested and interrogated. If it is found to be true, all the families will move overseas, and if the circumstances are slightly less, the whole family will be moved to the provinces of Biansai.

As for their property, of course, it must be confiscated.

Even those who are not involved in rebellion and are not accomplices cannot be easily let go. If you don't knock on one or two, the big clans in these places are still a hidden danger.

Therefore, as long as the decrees of the imperial court are well used, the local officials are kept in office first, and then they are ordered to fill the shortfall in the five-year accounts, even if they are allowed to pass a pass first. Then all the gentry were to be paid the tax arrears for five years, and then they would clean up the acres of land they had occupied, clean up the contributions, measure the fields, check the hidden fields, and then make up the summer tax for this year.

Then the most important one is to exchange the deed and levy a new deed tax.

When these knives were stabbed, the army was sent to various prefectures and counties, stationed in different localities, and at the same time a reserve army, a township army, and a militia were formed, and when the new officials sent by the imperial court arrived, some unqualified officials would be dismissed, and at that time, Shaanxi would naturally be stable and controlled.

Of course, this is only for the rich and gentry, mainly to suppress and control.

As for the ordinary people, the focus is on appeasement and relief, rent and interest reductions, and grain purchase at protective prices. Establish township offices, let the local people in the villages elect local managers, and implement the armor protection system.

Relief grain was distributed to peasants, loans were provided to help peasants, cattle were rented, seeds and farm tools were rented, and peasants were organized to build water conservancy projects. Cleaning up the unjust cases of the people in the past, etc.

In short, for large households, suppress first, and for ordinary people, first soothe them.

With the combination of grace and power, suppressing a group and winning over a group, and with tens of thousands of elite Han troops here, it will naturally be easy to gain a firm foothold.

This set has been implemented by the imperial court in various parts of the Central Plains very effectively.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, these local wealthy families are on the wrong team, of course, they have to be cleaned, even if they don't stand on the wrong team, they have to pay a price to pass.

However, if you just pay a little money, it is actually quite good, at least the officers and soldiers of the Han army who entered Guanzhong are well disciplined, and there is no burning, killing and looting, and there is no blatant robbery and extortion.

Zheng Zhilong actually reiterated military discipline again and again, after all, he will have to serve as the governor here in the future, and he has gone too far, and he is not easy to be the governor.

But if you don't show your authority first, how can you convince these people, and how will you dominate Guanzhong in the future.

"You must be vigilant and be vigilant at all times. Once someone dares to resist the imperial court's heavenly might, then we must get rid of them as soon as possible. This governor doesn't mind this time, kill a hundred people! (To be continued.) )
