In western Liaoning, the Ming army and Jiannu were in full swing, and in Yan'an Mansion, more than 2,000 miles away, Zhu Youzhen also encountered a lot of troubles in the reform of dividing the fields among the squires.

Since ancient times, change has not been easy, it is a suppression of those with vested interests, and how can those with vested interests be willing? It often means bloodshed and sacrifice.

And the reform launched by Zhu Youzhen in northern Shaanxi is more drastic than the changes of Shang Ying and Wang Anshi, and it is the plundering of Chiguoguo! How could the squires be willing to divide their fields among the landless poor peasants, and to bring them to justice on various charges, or to be beheaded or exiled?

Qingjian County, Fushi County, with Zhu Youzhen leading the army to sit in the town, the squires did not dare to make any changes, so they could only obediently lead the neck to be killed. In other states and counties where there were rebellions by displaced people, the squires were already harmed by the displaced people, and there was not much resistance to change.

However, not all states and counties had displaced people rebelling, and not all state and county gentry were willing to be killed, and resistance was inevitable.

"Each county only sent a few hundred people, and in each township, there were only thirty Praetorian Guard soldiers in addition to the township zheng, and those squires had thousands of acres of land, and the tenants they controlled were dozens or hundreds, plus their clan forces, their strength was countless times stronger than that of the township sent out." Hong Chengchou said, "Right now, Your Majesty is sitting in Yan'an, and there is a large army, they don't dare to move, but as the division of fields continues, there will always be people jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”

Zhu Youzhen's face was calm, he had already been mentally prepared, which was also the reason why he was reluctant to leave northern Shaanxi, even if there was such a big war in western Liaoning.

In Zhu Youzhen's heart, the current northern Shaanxi is the basic plate, completely controlling northern Shaanxi, and smoothly dividing the fields, there will be an absolutely loyal army in the future, which is the proof of the change of the entire world.

"What's the problem?" Zhu Youzhen was silent for a while and asked.

"There are also many people who are extremely numb," Hong Chengchou sighed, "According to the reactions of many counties and townships, the biggest reason why the squire can't go on is these numb people. Obviously, it is for their own good, and we want to divide the fields among them, and we must give them tax exemptions. But many people didn't know what ecstasy soup was poured by the squire, and they didn't support the Xiangzheng who was sent, so they chose to stand with the squire. ”

"Then there are some ruffians who take the opportunity of dividing the land to make false accusations and take the opportunity to do illegal things, and it is difficult for the villagers to distinguish between loyalty and traitor for a while."

Hong Chengchou described the problems that arose in the prefectures and counties one by one, and in a nutshell they were divided into three aspects: the people sent were insufficient, the squires secretly resisted, and the peasants were numb and uncooperative and took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble.

"Aiqing has a good way, just say it." Zhu Youzhen also had a headache, he just imitated the actions of the red army in the picture, and he didn't think about the specific details.

The red army had a strong organization and a strong faith, and it was invincible to mobilize the people by relying on them. But Zhu Youzhen didn't have anything, just a group of soldiers who had just put down their hoes. Many of them don't know much about the word of the township, and it is really difficult to rely on them to deal with those squires who have the reputation of lifting people and even making meritorious contributions.

"Your Majesty, this is not only a conflict of interests, but to dig up the foundation of those squires, it is already your life and death, only by thunder means!" Hong Chengchou said ruthlessly, "The minister can issue orders to the squires in the name of the governor of Yansui, ordering them to come to Yan'an Mansion to discuss matters, and then detain them all." The snake can't do without a head, and without these squires, there will be chaos in the villages. ”

"What if those squires don't come to Yan'an?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

Hong Chengchou smiled coldly: "That's easy to do, just send a large army to encircle and suppress on the charge of banditry, break through the dock fort, and leave the whole family of chickens and dogs behind, so as to deter others!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was a little unbearable, but he thought about his great cause, and nodded heavily: "Just do it according to Aiqing's idea." ”

Hong Chengchou immediately went down and wrote a letter to the squires in the name of the governor of Yansui, asking them to come to Yan'an Mansion to discuss matters. However, before the messenger could depart, news suddenly came from Anding County that the township sent to Huaishuli in Anding County was killed by the displaced people along with 30 Janissaries.

Zhu Youzhen was furious: "This must have been done by the squire!" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Please Your Majesty quickly send a large army to conquer and suppress in order to kill chickens and monkeys." ”

"Spread the word Lu Xiangsheng." Zhu Youzhen said.

After thinking about it for a while, he stopped the eunuch who was passing the decree and looked at Hong Chengchou: "Lu Xiangsheng still has to train new soldiers." Aiqing, you should deal with this matter, I will give you a thousand Praetorian Guards. ”

Lu Xiangsheng is arrogant, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything to slaughter, and this matter is not enough to deter other squires, and it is more appropriate to use Hong Chengchou than Lu Xiangsheng.

Hong Chengchou naturally understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, and he didn't shirk it, and immediately took the order.

Two days later, Hong Chengchou came to Baoding County with a thousand soldiers, and did not send anyone to carefully inquire about the truth about the killing of the Praetorian Guards, and went straight to the outside of the squire Sun Xuming's Zhuangzi.

On the wall, looking at the banner of the governor of Yansui not far away, the corners of Sun Xuming's mouth twitched.

"Master, what should I do?" The leader of Zhuang Ding asked tremblingly.

What else can I do, borrowing ten brave Sun Xuming will not dare to fight against the governor of Yansui. At that moment, he ordered to open the gate of the village and came out of the village to Hong Chengchou's horse.

"The late-born Sun Xuming has seen Futai, and it has been several months since the Yan'an Mansion gathered, and the demeanor of Lord Futai is even better than in the past." When Hong Chengchou was the first governor of Yansui, Sun Xuming and other squires worked together to wash the dust for Hong Chengchou, relying on acquaintances to try to make friends.

Hong Chengchou didn't mean to say hello, and looked down at Sun Xuming: "Sun Xuming, are you guilty?" ”

Sun Xuming shook his head and said: "Futai, I don't know what happened in my late life, and I still ask for my lord's advice?" ”

Hong Chengchou's gaze crossed over his head, looked at the manor not far away, and said lightly: "The killing of the Praetorian Guard soldiers is to rebel, and someone came to cut this Sun Xuming!" The army marched into Zhuangzi, arrested all the criminals, dared to resist, and killed! ”

"Futai?" Sun Xuming was terrified, and when he was about to argue, a cold light flashed, and his head fell to the ground.

Seeing that Sun Xuming was killed, the Praetorian Guards forced over, and there was chaos on the wall. There are villagers who throw down their weapons and run, and there are also those who are bold enough to shoot arrows.

When the Praetorian Guards approached the wall, rows of guns were missed, more than a dozen villagers fell off the wall, and the other villagers scattered.

found a log to break through the gate of the village, easily attacked Zhuangzi, without Sun Juren, the villagers did not dare to resist at all.

Hong Chengchou announced that Sun Xuming was convicted of colluding with the exiles to kill the emperor's pro-army, and committed the crime of rebellion.

On the same day, more than 300 people were killed in the Sun family in Baoan County, and the news came out, and the whole Shaanxi was shaken, and the name of the Hong butcher resounded throughout northern Shaanxi.
