The first wind and rain drifted away

For the use of Hong Chengchou, Emperor Chongzhen can be described as painstaking and deliberate.

It can be said that under the night of the deep palace, I don't know how many brain cells are consumed.

First of all, let's talk about the localities, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Ningxia, which is the origin of Hong Chengchou's trilateral governorship.

Among them, there is not much land suitable for cultivation in Shaanxi, mainly concentrated in Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and other places are mostly Loess Plateau.

The very barren kind, where the eye is full of loess, and there is very little vegetation.

In particular, northern Shaanxi is even more arid and desolate, and there are few places suitable for reclamation.

In this way, since the end of the apocalypse, there has been no rain for many years, and the whole Shaanxi has experienced a severe drought, the people have been displaced and starved all over the land, resulting in more than one million victims.

This is the natural soldier of the rebels and the basis of unrest.

At the same time, it also shows that this barren place in Shaanxi cannot support so many people.

In that case, it is necessary to emigrate.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there are few people in the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the southwest is also barren, and the development of the northwest has become the choice of Emperor Chongzhen.

Of course, that is the long-term goal, and the short-term goal is to develop the Hetao Plain.

The terrain here is flat, the soil quality is better, there is the advantage of the Yellow River irrigation, the successive dynasties are famous for the abundance of water and grass, also called the south of the Yangtze River.

Not to mention raising more than one million people, if it is developed, it is no problem to raise tens of millions of people.

It's just that there is a problem in this place, it is close to the border and borders with Monan Mongolia.

Therefore, the composition of people here is more mixed.

That is, there are many different races.

Among them, there are especially Tartars and foreign races who hold small books and recite scriptures with their heads in their heads.

It's not going to work, it's going to need to change the demographics.

The land of the Ming Dynasty was fought down by the blood of the ancestors of the Han people, and it must be dominated by the Han people.

Whoever sheds blood, who sacrifices, who enjoys benefits.

This is the most simple point of view of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, changing the demographic structure is not as simple as immigration.

This requires bloodshed.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen rummaged through the entrainment and felt that only the dog traitor Hong Chengchou was the most suitable.

Hong Chengchou is a person, not to mention his ability, Emperor Chongzhen feels that it is impossible to make a mistake in handing things over to him.

But this is not the only reason why Emperor Chongzhen chose Hong Chengchou.

If you want to talk about ability, Lao Sun Tou, Lu Fatzi, Wen Traitor, and Chen Qiyu, the first governor of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty, are not inferior to him.

But he has one thing that is outstanding, and he kills the most people.

It's just that all the people he killed were Han Chinese.

His sins cannot be washed away in his life, but can only be made up.

Make up for it with the blood of an alien race.

However, Emperor Chongzhen of Liaodong never dared to let him go, for fear that something would happen.

Suppress bandits, where do you need three killing gods at the same time?

Isn't that a waste?

Then, the only way to do this butcher is to go to the northwest to atone for his sins.

In the secret room of the palace, Hong Chengchou read the private edict of the Son of Heaven alone, and immediately understood the five-point spirit of Emperor Chongzhen.

First, the development of the Hetao can alleviate the dilemma of more people and less land in Shaanxi, and draw wages from the bottom of the kettle for the traitors, which is conducive to the extermination of the traitors.

Second, take the opportunity to return the rich land of the Hetao to the Ming Dynasty and prepare for expansion.

Third, take the opportunity to train troops in Ordos in preparation for captivity.

Fourth, divide and disintegrate the Monan Tartars and let them be used by the Ming Dynasty.

Fifth, the land of the Ming Dynasty has only Ming people. That's not a Ming person, it's going to be cleared.

"The development of the Hetao, the resettlement of the real border, and the solution to the source of civil unrest from the root cause are really important matters for the benefit of the country and the people.

Count it in one fell swoop, the Son of Heaven Shengming! ”

Hong Chengchou held the private edict of the Son of Heaven in his hand, muttered to himself in his mouth, and was amazed, and his whole vision was wide open.

In this area of the Hetao, Hong Chengchou is naturally no stranger to the trilateral governor.

Both sides of the river are all plains, rivers and lakes are everywhere, water conservancy is convenient, it is simply a blessed land given by God, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is a good place to recruit people to reclaim.

In less than two years, it will be a land of fish and rice.

Moreover, you don't have to rely on the weather to eat.

Because, there is water from the Yellow River for irrigation.

As for killing, he didn't pay much attention to it, for him, it was a trivial matter!

Stepping out of the secret room in a hurry, Hong Chengchou said proudly to the people who were waiting: "The emperor's clever plan, the traitor is resting!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked surprised and hurriedly asked the reason.

Hong Chengchou kept what he couldn't say in his stomach and listed the benefits of developing the Hetao to everyone one by one.

"Great praise! The emperor is really the king of the Holy Wisdom!

The people are thieves, and most of them are born of hunger and cold; Soldiers and thieves are mostly due to lack of salary.

The reason why the army and the people follow the traitors is because they really can't live, and the foundation of the rule is to let the people have a way to live.

Now, it's finally a complete solution!

When the floating is white, congratulations for the world! ”

Lu Xiangsheng was so excited that he stroked his palms and laughed and danced, ignoring the appearance and image of senior officials.

"Immigration, reclamation, and extermination are carried out at the same time, which is indeed the best way to solve the civil unrest in the world, and the Son of Heaven is also a true saint!"

Sun Chuanting couldn't help but applaud Emperor Chongzhen's clever plan again and again.

Without millions of hungry people, traitors like King Gao Chuang couldn't make trouble if they wanted to.

"This time, the emperor is determined to eradicate the traitor in one fell swoop.

For this reason, he asked you to raise a batch of food, one is to prepare it for the migration road. The second is to fight for the hungry with the traitors.

The traitor can use food to make the hungry rebel, and we can use food to keep the hungry out of the traitor. ”

Fang Zhenghua, the superintendent, said to the three governors of Hong Chengchou.

"Please tell the emperor, and the governor will handle it immediately!"

Butcher Hong's face was grim, his hands arched towards the north, and he said with a murderous aura.

There are methods, and he has no shortage of means.

"Very good, with Lao Hongdu.

The emperor was sympathetic to the people, and asked the government yamen to post the "Letter to the People", and the supervisor read it to all the adults first. ”

Fang Zhenghua leaned over slightly, then took out another imperial book from his sleeve, and read it in front of all the civil and military personnel in the hall: "I look up to the way of heaven, bow down to all directions, and read this army and people, who is not a child?"

It is only because the officials are greedy and cunning, and the years are ferocious, and they are forced by hunger and cold, and they are willing to do wrong.

One or two ignorant people were deceived by the traitors' gossip, so that they coerced and obeyed the people. I don't know how many people have been innocently killed over the years?

I am sad and compassionate, I can't sit and eat, and I can't sleep at night.

Today, the traitors in Yu are at the end of their ropes, and those in Shaanxi are sporadically lurking. The imperial court will be suppressed by the soldiers, and the jade must be indistinguishable.

If you are suspicious, you may suspect that the generals are planning to trap and kill, or you may suspect that there are divisions to treat them separately, or you are worried about the treacherous and deceitful in the future......

All kinds of suspicions are excusable and pitiful.

For this. I issued a letter of pardon again, sent officials to give instructions, and the governors issued notices according to the big book, enlightening the people.

If the people repent of their sins and turn to the right, they are said to have rescued the refugees, and their origins will be ascertained one by one, and the locals will be incorporated into the Baojia. Other provinces will escort them home and never turn their backs.

The four provincial provincial governments have divisions, and the number of refugees will be taken as the assessment standard immediately, and violators will be punished again.

Among the people included in the collection, there are those who are outstanding, and they are willing to use them in the front of the army, listen to their own achievements, and narrate them as one.

If it is not stubborn, it will be encircled and suppressed, and the roots will be wiped out, and there will be no more evil. Encirclement and rebellion, the court is iron-faced and selfless, and the people must not miscalculate.

The edict is well-known, and the salty envoy knows it. November of the eighth year of Chongzhen. ”

"The mercy of the Son of Heaven and the blessing of the people!"

When Wen Wu heard this, he couldn't help but praise in unison.

Indeed, the emperor is benevolent and multi-pronged, and many of these hungry people will definitely break away from the ranks of traitors.

In this way, it can not only avoid harming innocent people, but also reduce the strength of the rebels.
