Zhang Pan sighed again and said, "Is it okay?" Can this really keep the land of the three counties? Gu Yanwu sighed and said, "Actually, I don't know what to expect!" Also, hurry up and write to the garrison and tell him about the situation! After all, I'm also worried that if there is a civil uprising, of course, the people in our three counties will not have such a thing, but the hungry people are coming in...... Alas! ”

Zhang Pan sighed, he knew that what he had to do now was to do what Gu Yanwu said.

Gu Yanwu was wondering who was spreading rumors? Only the world is not chaotic? We must mess up the land of the three counties, so that we can rest assured!

What Gu Yanwu is most worried about is the problem of the civil uprising, and this problem of the civil uprising really happened!

The number of refugees from all over the country is increasing, and they are not receiving relief, and the only way is to build water conservatories. Even if they are begging, because in the year of famine, many families have nothing to eat, how can they use it to help others?

Even if someone is sent to build water conservancy, reservoirs, and so on. There are many mountains in the area of the three counties, there is little water, and there are few water sources flowing through these three places, if you want to have Dujiangyan like this, Yecheng is backed by the Yellow River, so that the water conservancy is convenient, there is no more, what can be done is to at least have water and irrigate the farmland.

It is for this reason that Gu Yanwu overhauled the reservoir, it was really a drought, at least there was water in the reservoir for irrigation, and it was almost spring, and there was water for farming at that time! In addition, it is not possible to use a large amount of people's resources during the farming period. The construction is even more urgent.

But then there is one thing that is a headache, that is, there are many hungry people, and it is useless to farm, and the hungry people will eat all the seedlings, etc., and will not let go of the grass roots and tree bark! In this way, it is very difficult to get food in the coming autumn.

As Gu Yanwu expected, there were also many hungry people pouring into the land of the three counties, although Gu Yanwu had already thought of a way to stop the rumors, so as to stop more hungry people from entering the land of the three counties.

But there are more hungry people, and even if they are allowed to build water conservancy, it will still make some people, and many people fail to build it, so as to get food. Moreover, even those who build are complaining, and they are desperate to get something for nothing, unlike now, when they work hard to get food. These people will be in turmoil, and the three counties will be shaken at all.

Of course, Gu Yanwu knows the Dao, but he has no choice, so he should recruit more practitioners, after all, the new five hundred is not enough, and another five hundred will be added.

Things in the world are often like this, the more Gu Yanwu worries, the more it will become a fact, the hungry people who built water conservancy are instigated by the Manchu spies to make a rebellion! All of a sudden, the situation got out of control! And under the call to attack the government and fight for food, the responders gathered!

If the government's grain is robbed, the people in the three counties will not be able to get the distribution of food, and the situation will be even more difficult.

The people of the hungry people soon surrounded the county seat of Lingbao. There are more than 3,000 of these hungry people, and they are surrounded by layers of Lingbao County, and they have to get food.

Seeming like this, Gu Yanwu fell into a desperate situation, and at the same time, he also knew that Zhang Biwu's situation was not good...... Gu Yanwu has no idea, is it possible that the land of the three counties entrusted by Zhang Biwu will be lost?

At this time, the unexpected happened! In this way, the siege of Lingbao is solved, what is going on? This has to go back and recount the incident of Zhang Biwu following Zuo Liangyu to fight on Agate Mountain, and then recount back how the siege of Lingbao was resolved.

Looking back, Zuo Liangyu saw that the official army stormed Onyx Mountain and did not take advantage, and the attacks were repelled by the rebels again and again. But he was calm and calm, and said, "Collect the troops!" Come back tomorrow to capture Mount Agate! ”

"Huh?" Zhang Biwu looked at Zuo Liangyu incomprehensibly, not understanding what kind of medicine was sold in Zuo Liangyu's gourd.

Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "Guoxiong! Look at it! As long as that side wins, my side will be able to break the rebel army! The rebels can't do anything to us! Maybe you can capture Zhang Xianzhong! Ha Lu Ha! ”

Zhang Biwu thought to himself: "That side? What's going on on the side that Zuo Liangyu said? But he didn't bother to ask more, and he would understand when the time came.

The next day, early in the morning, Zuo Liangyu not only gathered his own men and horses, but also asked the Qin army to follow suit, saying that it was time to make meritorious contributions.

Zuo Liangyu was waiting, he waited patiently, he looked at the mountain, although the sky was not bright, but the lights on the top of the mountain were bright, and he knew that the righteous army did not relax its vigilance.

Suddenly, the shouts of killing from behind the mountain shook the sky, and the flames soared into the sky. Zuo Liangyu smiled and said, "Okay! I think Liu Guoneng should have succeeded! Get ready, everyone! Take the city in one go! Shout at me, Zhang Xianzhong was caught! Zhang Xianzhong's old camp was attacked by me! ”

When Zhang Biwu heard it, he realized that Zuo Liangyu had already sent an army to attack Zhang Xianzhong's old camp, no wonder he was so calm, he couldn't attack it yesterday, so he withdrew his troops, this is confusing Zhang Xianzhong!

Suddenly, Zuo Liangyu's headquarters soldiers and He Renlong's and Li Guoqi's Qin troops were even more encouraged, and they roared and killed them.

When the rebels saw that the old camp was attacked, they had already panicked, and now they saw that the officers and soldiers were coming very violently, which was different from yesterday. The rebels couldn't resist it, and they also knew that Zhang Kewang had already led the army to support the old camp, and the army was disheartened, so naturally they couldn't resist the attack of the official army.

Agate Mountain was captured by Zuo Liangyu, and he also checked the results of the battle. Although he was not able to capture Zhang Xianzhong, he killed more than 3,500 people of the righteous army, and also seized the big knife engraved with the words "God-given Flying Knife" that Zhang Xianzhong carried, because when he attacked Zhang Xianzhong's old camp, Zhang Xianzhong was still sleeping, and he didn't have time to wear his God-given flying knife, so he hurriedly came out to fight, but later in order to escape for his life, this love knife was not taken care of.

Moreover, the tiger talisman engraved with the words "Xiying Eight Great Kings Chengtian clarifies Chuanyue", the gold dragon stick, the Ling Qi, the arrow, the money used for divination, and the seven wives and concubines Ao and Gao were all captured by the official army. Ten anti-king Yang Youzi surrendered. Pan Duao, a loyal military advisor, was hiding in the woods and was also found by the official army.

As for Zhang Xianzhong's private engraving of the governor's governor, supervisor, general soldier, soldier Beidao, government, state, county, etc., when he was in Gucheng, he had not been captured by Zuo Liangyu, and these things played a key role in Zhang Xianzhong's later attack on Xiangyang, which is a later story.

If Zhang Biwu's garrison seal was not a little smaller than the normal size, Zhang Xianzhong used the privately made Zhang Biwu three county garrison seals to print on the letter, which would really kill Zhang Biwu.

All right! Back to the point. Zhang Xianzhong was fortunate to get the soldiers to break through to the death, and Zhang Kewang led the army to kill and save Zhang Xianzhong. And Zhang Xianzhong's military advisor Xu Yixian was seriously injured, but fortunately he was able to save his life. Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons are still there, and his generals have not been lost, and his strength is still very strong.

After this defeat, Zhang Xianzhong's morale of the officers and troops was booming, and the officers and troops pursued the victory. On the ninth day of the first month of March, the Shaanxi official army He Renlong and Li Guoqi defeated Zhang Xianzhong's rebel army in Hanxi Temple.

The rebel army lost 1,300 people, and more than 2,000 people led by the loyal generals of the left battalion (Xue Chengcai) and the right battalion Shuntian King (He Guoxian) surrendered. The next day, the officers and troops pursued Yanjing, and the rebel army lost another 651 people, and the second tiger of the front battalion surrendered with more than 1,000 people.

On the way to the west, he surrounded 6,000 people of Zhang Lingbu of the Sichuan official army in Kejiaping, and it was not until the Hubei official army arrived that Xianzhong broke the siege. On 15 March, the Shaanxi official army pursued and killed the rebel army at Papaya Creek, and the rebel soldiers sacrificed more than 1,200 people.

Zhang Xianzhong was defeated again and again, he fled into Xing, returned to the mountains, and then entered Xing'an, Fangxian border, these places, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is conducive to Zhang Xianzhong's respite after the defeat. He also gave money to the residents of the mountains, so that the residents acted as his eyes and ears, so that the officials and soldiers did not know where Zhang Xianzhong was hiding, the mountains were extremely dangerous, and the officials and soldiers were afraid of casualties, so they naturally did not dare to attack Zhang Xianzhong.

Yang Sichang originally thought that Zuo Liangyu would not be able to defeat Zhang Xianzhong within three months, but he didn't expect that now Zhang Xianzhong would be defeated, and Zhang Xianzhong's wife, concubine, strategists, and many others were captured. Like Zhang Dajing, Ma Tingbao, Xu Qizuo, etc., who were originally the prisoners of the Ming Dynasty, all died in the chaos in Zuo Liangyu's attack.

Since Zuo Liangyu defeated Zhang Xianzhong, it is natural to play the imperial court and make Emperor Chongzhen happy. The captured Ao family, Gao family, and Pan Duao were imprisoned in Xiangyang Prison, and Feizhang reported the victory to the imperial court. Of course, Yang Sichang also said that his plan was successful, so he had this great victory.

Chongzhen was overjoyed after receiving the report, awarded a reward of silver and other things, and also ordered Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, to formulate a general meritorious service reward, urging Yang Sichang to take advantage of the victory to march to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong.

At the same time, Chongzhen also sharpened the knife more sharply, he had to ask Li Guorui to spit out the money! Li Guorui is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Xiaoding, because Chongzhen asked him to pay military salaries, he didn't pay it, he had money, and even his shoes had several pairs of pearl shoes, a pair of which was worth hundreds of taels. Not to mention other priceless curios, but he was stingy and reluctant to donate a single one, which angered Chongzhen and put him in prison.

The relatives of the emperor tried their best to fight against Chongzhen, and they didn't want to donate money, just to let Li Guorui die, but Li Guorui was still afraid of crime after the worst, and he committed suicide knowing that he couldn't fight.

Chongzhen didn't let go of the Li family like this, ordered a raid on the house, and found that the Li family's property was more than one million, and the Li family could take out the money he wanted, which made Chongzhen even more annoyed! It seems that so many poor relatives of the emperor have countless family properties, so they have to be forced to pay money.

Chongzhen had seven sons, three of whom died young. The favored fifth son, Zhu Cihuan, fell ill when he was only five years old and died soon after. And the death of the fifth prince is even more bizarre! Very spooky!
