In the seventh year of Chongzhen, the thieves fled into the Central Plains like fish into the sea, ravaging the five provinces of the Central Plains.
The imperial court mobilized the southern garrison of Gyeonggi to garrison Lu Xiangsheng to the heavenly army of Yunyang, and appointed Chen Qiyu, the governor of Yansui, as the governor of the five provinces to suppress bandits.
For several months, Lu Xiangsheng ate and lived with the peddlers and pawns, walked in the deep mountains and valleys, often looked up and did not see the sky, and occasionally did not see anyone on the way for several days, gritting his teeth and struggling to support the people who finally cleared out the people in Yunyang.
From the Spring Festival to the end of April, Lu Xiangsheng and Chen Qiyu worked together to kill the thieves in the 100,000 mountains of Yunyang, and most of the thieves were driven and surrounded in the mountains and forests around Hanzhong in Shaanxi.
At this time, it is the rainy season, the heavy rain in the mountains from Yunyang to Hanzhong does not stop for several days, the opposite side of dozens of steps can not see the figure clearly, more than 30,000 people of the people's mutiny army were chased by Chen Qiyu to supervise the army, moved and fled in the mountains around Hanzhong, the road was unfamiliar and actually strayed into the valley carriage gorge, was blocked into it, the cliffs on both sides were hundreds, and the birds were difficult to cross.
The desperate militia includes Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, all of whom are difficult characters in the militia. After several failed breakthroughs, seeing that the grain and grass he carried was about to be exhausted, Li Zicheng offered a plan and was willing to dedicate the property he had looted for several years to Chen Qiyu to surrender.
Chen Qiyu allowed the people from all walks of life to return to their hometowns in various parts of Shaanxi and be resettled by the local government.
Lu Xiangsheng was shocked when he learned the news, and quickly sent a letter to dissuade him, but it was too late.
The thieves who got out of the encirclement rebelled and reorganized Shaanxi, and the officers and soldiers could not suppress it.
On a Mayday day, the warm breeze blows, and the pedestrians are drunk.
Yang and Wei went south to the ten miles of the crossing, and the soldiers on both sides stood neatly

FOC and his entourage were crowded in official uniforms, and they stopped.
Yang Sichang, who was in the forefront, was wrapped in filial piety, with a sad face. Within half a month, his parents died one after another, and he had to resign as the governor of Xuanda and return to his hometown to guard the system. According to the custom of the Ming Dynasty, he should be in front of the tomb for three years before he can enter the court as an official again. Shortly before that, Chen Xinjia, the governor of Xuanfu, also resigned and returned to his hometown due to the death of his mother.
Although the practice is so, the rules are dead, and people are alive. When Zhang Juzheng's father died, he was unwilling to let go of his authority, and Emperor Wanli issued many orders to retain, changing the three-year system to March, and allowing him to deal with the government at home, which can be described as a deep saint. Yang Sichang's status is still far from Zhang Juzheng back then, and Emperor Chongzhen is not easy to stop his courtiers from keeping filial piety.
"Please mourn the Lord of Taiwan, you and I were ordered to come to Xuanda together, I can't imagine that the two adults' families have suffered accidents!"
Jiao Yuanbo persuaded him all the way, he was also worried about his fate, Xuanda Town was a dangerous place, and people in the Ming officialdom could not avoid it.
Yang Sichang has traveled all over the border of Xuanda Town in the past six months, understood the difficulties here, and lamented: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, I will go home to fulfill my filial piety, and I can only leave you here to be loyal to the country."
"This year, the Jurchen West will investigate Har, and Xuanda Town should be able to keep safe. Recently, I have been thinking about it, the Jurchens are vicious, but the popular rebellion in the prairie is the big trouble in the hearts of the Ming Dynasty. If you can contact Mongolia to let the grassland chaos for a few years, you can only compete for power outside the country when the Ming Dynasty is relieved. ”
Jiao Yuanbo was surprised and asked, "Do you agree with the plan of the Tumuts?" "Datong has the weakest troops and is difficult to defend, so he is the most enthusiastic about Zhai Zhe's plan.
"I have made this clear to the new Governor, Lord Leung, in my letter."
After Chang stepped down as the governor of Xuanda, Yang Sichang looked at things from a different angle, when he was in office, he wanted to ensure the safety of Xuanda, although he knew that the Tumut tribe had a big plan, but there were too many involved, and there was little hope of success, and he did not dare to gamble with his career. Now, as a bystander, of course I know that if this move is successful, it will ensure that the northern border of the Ming Dynasty will be worry-free for ten years, and it is completely worth the risk\

The new governor of Xuanda is the former secretary of the military department Liang Tingzhen, who served as the governor of Jiliao after the change of his own si, and was later promoted to the secretary of the military department because of his merits, and was impeached and removed for taking bribes in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and now he is recommended by Wen Tiren of the Ming Dynasty to be reactivated.
"Meng Ming fights, and the Ming fisherman profits, why not?" Jiao Yuanbo cheered up and said, "I heard that there are four or five thousand Han horsemen in Tumote, and there are also the border troops of the Ming Dynasty who were displaced due to the lack of pay, and it is unknown whether he will be used by my Ming Dynasty again." ”
Yang Sichang was sad in his heart, he had no intention of talking about state affairs for a long time, and he was unwilling to discourage Jiao Yuanbo's interest, so he coped with a few voices.
The group said goodbye and went their separate ways.
May is the best season of the year, no matter where it is.
After the hot weather, the grasslands are verdant and lush.
At the foot of Yin Mountain, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep; In the Toyosu Beach, the Han people built canals on both sides of the Heishui River to divert water from the ridges of the fields where millet seedlings flourished. If we continue to accumulate savings and recuperate, it will only take five or six years for the Tumut Department to regain its former strength.
Since the beginning of the year, the caravan from the mouth of the killing has been fearless.
The defenders of the border town turned a blind eye and never checked.
Jiao Yuanbo also acquiesced to this, Datong Town did not get money and food from the imperial court, and it was inseparable from money to settle the displaced people and recruit new soldiers, so he could only get some benefits from the Han merchants who transported the contraband out of the country.
Privately, after Jiao Yuanbo agreed with Zhai Zhe's plan, he also thought that there was no harm in flowing these materials into Mongolia.
Dozens of horse trailers swaggered out of the killing mouth, and first rested at the foot of the Old Crow Mountain for the night. In the early morning, the caravan did not enter Naturalization as usual, but was escorted by a large group of cavalry to the north of Naturalization. Dozens of wooden boxes inside the carriage are sturdy and wrapped in homespun cloth, which does not move no matter how bumpy the road is.
Xiao Zhiyan's cavalry patrolled around, careful guard, since the Mobei mission was ambushed, he didn't dare to be careless, the only horse thief on this grassland was Yue Tuo's subordinate.
The convoy went all the way north, day and night, until two hundred miles north of Guihua, a group of cavalry came to meet in the distance.
The scouts are in touch with each other, and the two teams are \u9a6

c convergence, that is the cavalry from Mobei.
Zhai Zhe raised his hand to let his subordinates pull the carriage to the front, Bao Guang stepped forward quickly and cut the homespun cloth wrapped on the wooden box, and then leaped up, pried open the lid of the box, and a whole box of black arrows was exposed in front of everyone.
"Twenty thousand arrows, this is the first batch!" Zhai Zhe urged him to step forward and slap the wooden box.
The bearded Chechen Khan couldn't help but urge his horse out of the cavalry ranks, stretched out his hand and took out an arrow to look at it carefully, and weighed it again, his eyes burst into greedy light.
Zhai Zhe clapped his hands again.
Another carriage was pulled forward, and Bao Guang opened the top two wooden boxes, which were full of three-foot-long scimitars
"These three hundred knives are a gift!" Under the sun, Zhai Zhe squinted and smiled.
The shone of the blades was dazzling, and the Chechen Khan turned to try the sharpness of the blade, which was the best scimitar of the steppe.
He nodded with satisfaction, laughed, and turned to Zhai Zhe and said, "Omubu Khan didn't lie to me, Han, I won't let you suffer, I will give you the horses later." ”
"So much the best!"
Chechen Khan waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to pull the carriage over, walked up to Zhai Zhe and asked, "When is Ombu Khan going to do it?" ”
"Wait!"
