Chapter 864: Return to Beijing

There are different opinions about the reasons for the demise of Daming, some people explain that they died in Jiannu, some people say that they died in exiles, of course, there are also explanations that they died in Donglin and Ming died in the Xiaoice River period, but there is also a saying that it is quite reasonable, that is, Ming actually died due to financial problems, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government of the dynasty was corrupted, and the imperial court was no longer able to effectively collect taxes, resulting in an increasingly insufficient use of the imperial court, coupled with the blows of displaced people, Jiannu, etc., Daming died out like this.

But judging from the displaced people in various parts of Shaanxi, this statement does make sense, if Yang He has enough money and food in his hands to support him to successfully complete the task of suppression, then Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others will not be able to become any climate in the future, because the people of the Central Plains are always the most obedient, as long as they have a way to live, who is willing to risk killing their heads to rebel?

Li You is very generous and merciful to these desperate people who have to rise up to rebel, but for those ambitious people, as well as those who were killed in the process of rebellion, and the guys who can never go back, it is not so easy to let go, every time he appeases a group of displaced people, Li You will always let people strictly interrogate the leader's culpability, once it is found that there are crimes such as indiscriminate killing of innocents, they are all beheaded and displayed to the public, and the displaced people who are carried are given them a sum of money and food, so that they can still return to the countryside to farm.

In addition, Li You also dealt with those corrupt officials and local tyrants and gentry who treated the people harshly, if it weren't for them, how could there be so many displaced people? Anyway, you only need to look for them casually, and you can find out countless culpables from these people, and you are not afraid of killing them without a name.

If those displaced people did not dare to return to their hometowns for fear of retribution from the officials and gentry in their hometowns, Li You also made other arrangements and was willing to continue farming, allocate land for resettlement in other places, and provide them with food for their livelihoods, seeds and farm tools to resume production; Those who are unwilling to continue to be peasants and are healthy will be included in the army, which is also a reference to the Song Dynasty's method of solving the problem of peasant uprisings.

Li You was in Xi'an, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were monitoring those officials everywhere, and they slaughtered a group of blind ones, and sentenced their family to three generations not to participate in the imperial examination, which shocked the local officials, especially the last one, three generations could not participate in the imperial examination, which almost broke the roots of their family, and it was expected that after that, their family would quickly become fat in the eyes of other local gentry, and it was quickly divided, which was simply a more terrible thing than death for the remaining officials, So I had to hold back my desire to distribute the food to the victims.

The strategy of suppressing and appeasing led by Yang He gradually took effect, and the displaced people in Shaanxi and the surrounding provinces settled down temporarily, and groups of displaced people asked the officials in various places to surrender after receiving the news, and those leaders who resisted stubbornly were also broken by each under the attack of the Song army, and were beheaded according to the law, and the turmoil in Shaanxi gradually subsided.

And Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were also found by Jinyiwei and sent to Xi'an, it turned out that Li Zicheng took his nephew Li Guo and went to Ganzhou, Gansu Province to join the army at the beginning of this year, and soon made a name for himself in the army, and was promoted to general by the general kingdom.

And Zhang Xianzhong was the first to serve as the arrester of Yan'an Mansion, dismissed from his post because of the matter, and went to Yansui Town to join the army, because he broke the law and should be beheaded, the main general Chen Hongfan looked at his strange appearance, and pleaded with the general soldier Wang Wei for it, and beat a hundred military sticks to remove the name, and now he is in the countryside pondering the contact with people and horses, but after Li You sent a large amount of money and food to Shaanxi, the people are naturally unwilling to take risks if they have a way to live.

The rest of the famous leaders of the rebel army such as Liu Guoneng and Luo Rucai were also found by Jinyiwei and went to Xi'an with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

"Now that Jiannu has been defeated by me, a large area of land in Liaodong is still in the hands of Jiannu, and the Guanning army is unusable, so it depends on you to recover Liaodong in the future. At the moment, these people have not rebelled, and they do not have such great ambitions, as soon as they hear that they are willing to give them the opportunity to make contributions, then who will not hurry up and obey? Immediately knelt down and joined the camp.

After a brief inquiry, Li You also had a general understanding of their abilities, and they were given official positions according to their abilities, allowing them to lead those recruits recruited from Shaanxi, and sending Yue Yun's capable men to train them.

After several months of fighting, the displaced people in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu and other places have been gradually pacified by the Song army, Gao Yingxiang, Zijinliang and other bandit leaders have been killed, and the situation in Shaanxi has gradually returned to calm, so that Li You can leave with peace of mind for the time being.

"After I leave, you must continue to work hard and strive to completely calm down Shaanxi as soon as possible." Before leaving, Li You once again summoned the ministers and told him that there are not many displaced people left in Shaanxi who have not been subdued, and it can be completely handled by relying on Yang He's ability and local troops, "Don't be negligent, let go of any of the people, and be responsible for staying in the next year It will be another turmoil." ”

"The ministers receive the order, and the ministers will act carefully and will not disappoint His Majesty's expectations." Yang He has made many meritorious deeds during this period of time, and his political ambitions have been realized, so he swept away the decadence of the past, but he also seemed mentally abnormal.

"Well, then I'll leave the rest to Yang Aiqing, if you need it, just send someone to report to Beijing, and I will support you." Yang He's methods also hurt the interests of many gentry, in order to relieve their worries, Li You made a guarantee, of course, all this is premised on his ability to act according to his orders.

"Also, the recruited young men will be sent to the capital as soon as possible after they recover their vitality, and they cannot stay in Shaanxi for training, if Shaanxi wants soldiers, I will send them from other places." Similarly, this is also a good opportunity to change the problems of the soldiers in the late Ming Dynasty, Li You intends to realize Qi Jiguang's unfulfilled wish, and train the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in a unified manner, and then distribute them.

Yang He and the others naturally did not dare to refute this, and agreed one by one, and then Li You took Yue Yun's Song army, the young men recruited from Shaanxi and other places, and the money and grain seized from Shanxi, left Xi'an, and marched in the direction of the capital.
