Chapter 128: Spark
After more than half a year of drunken life and dreaming of death, Li Zijing has long been weak and middle-class, he is only in his early thirties, he looks like he is over half a hundred years old, and his waist is stiff and can't stand up, cowering on the ground and crying, how can he have a little bit of the demeanor of a king who has torn the earth.
Li Guo, who was beside him, stubbornly held his head high and refused to kneel.
Liu Hongjian did not force it, Li Guoqi was also a fierce general, but he and Li Zicheng were uncles and nephews, and he shot Li Zicheng again, so he naturally would not let go of it when he wanted to come to the court.
The king was defeated, Ci was not in charge of the army, this person could not stay, Liu Hongjian had to let the two be detained and sent to the capital.
Seven days later, Hao Shaoqi went north alone, rebelled against Gao Yigong stationed in Ningxia Town, and merged with Liu Hongjian to take Yansui Town.
Since then, from Liaodong to Ningxia, from east to west, the nine important towns have been connected and returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Due to the lack of an edict from the Ming Emperor, Liu Hong gradually temporarily assigned Hao Shaoqi's troops to garrison Ningxia Town as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Gao Yigong's troops to guard Yansui Town as the deputy commander-in-chief.
Dashun was destroyed, and these two people were both united in the Ming Dynasty, both of them were bloody and loyal people, and their subordinates were also for the sake of eating and eating, and their hearts were available.
I don't know whether Li Zijing is taking precautions, or the reincarnation of Grande, although Li Zijing's 'palace' is not big, but the treasure is really not less collected, and the 'palace' inner treasury alone pulls out nearly a million stones.
There is no doubt that these grains and grasses were all pit by Li Zijing from the hands of the Eight Great Jin Merchants, and now this batch of grain and grass is just for Liu Hong's wedding clothes, I don't know how the Eight Jin Merchants feel under the spring.
Not only grain and grass, but also collected a million taels of gold from the palace, and there were 278000 taels of silver and jewelry.
That's a little too poor! Liu Hong gradually heard the soldier's report, and said secretly in his heart.
You must know that the Dashun army has crisscrossed Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, and even reached Sichuan, and the army has walked through and looted everything like locusts, how can it be so?
800,000 stone grain is said to be a lot less, not too much, it is about to enter the middle of winter, the north is cold, the people have to eat grain, this bit of grain except for the relief of the people, the rest is enough for the soldiers in the border town to last until the beginning of spring next year.
But what next?
Rob him N's!
More than 30,000 soldiers of the Liaodong Army and Hao Shaoqi's department, divided into 30 routes, swept the entire Shaanxi like locusts, and in only 20 days, almost all the gentry in the entire territory of Shaanxi were killed!
Those who resist will not be killed, and those who hand over the grain and cultivated land will live!
Whether it was the Liaodong soldiers or the local militia of Shaanxi that had surrendered, they were very puzzled by Liu Hongji's order at first, knowing that it was these gentry who had been providing them with grain and grass all along.
Now unload the mill and kill the donkey?
As insiders and ignorant of outside affairs, are these gentry really feeding them? Liu Hongjian just sneered and didn't explain, limited to the concept system, and they may not understand it, since they are soldiers, they just obey orders.
Not everyone didn't understand Liu Hongji, and later, after hearing about this, Bi Zigong, who was far away in Shanxi, took a sip of wine and muttered: "Use thunderbolt means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva!" ’
Liu Hong gradually didn't think so much, the big drought, the cold, the people have no clothes, no food, if the court does not act, this winter, I am afraid that there will be another civil uprising, and if the court has food, where does he need to run to this bitter cold place to wander.
Let's figure it out on our own! It's just that those landlords have suffered, Liu Hongjian can only sigh for these people in his heart, don't be a landlord in the next life!
Liu Hong gradually did what he said, not only in Shaanxi, but also in Shanxi, where the officials and soldiers were guarded, and the lightning forces swept away the landlords and slaves, and opened warehouses to release grain.
Under the supervision of the officials and soldiers, the grain was quickly distributed to the people, although the food was not much, but with the bark of wild grass and trees, it would surely be able to survive this winter.
Daming's Baixin is actually the best to feed, as long as it does not starve to death, no one will think of rebellion, Liu Hongji's actions won the welcome of the people in Shaanxi and Shanxi.
All the officials and businessmen with bad deeds were mercilessly crushed by Liu Hongji's army, except for some county officials who were known to be virtuous and good businessmen who often helped the people escaped, Shaanxi and Shanxi seemed to have become the foreign land of the Ming Dynasty.
There are no landlords, no profiteers who eat people and don't spit out bones, there are just a group of ragged people who have worked hard for half their lives to finally get their own land.
No matter where they came, as long as they heard that Daming An Guobo had come here to inspect, the ragged people spontaneously knelt down to greet each other in gratitude for the gift given to them by this young adult.
Land and food are their everything, and Liu Hong gradually gave them them, so even in the cold winter, even if they can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, all the people have smiling faces.
Because they believe that winter is coming, spring will not be far away, because they know that not having enough food and clothing is only temporary, because they have hope!
Liu Hongjian also knew that he would inevitably be impeached by hundreds of officials when he returned to the court by doing this, but it didn't matter, even if the merits and demerits were offset, he felt that it was worth it.
What's more, the spark of a spark can set the prairie on fire, and you want to take back the water that was spilled, Liu Hong gradually agreed, can millions of people in the two places agree?
I'm afraid I'll come in vertically and go out horizontally!
Ningxia and Yansui are all bitter cold places, and Hao Shaoqi and Gao Yigong are all local original people, guarding their land with their people and raising their people with their soil, which is in line with the strategy of his father-in-law and his father Sun Chengzong.
Xuanfu had Wei Penghong to defend it, and Liu Hong gradually ordered Tang Feng to guard Datong and Xiangxiong to guard Taiyuan as the governor of Jiliao, but there were still vacancies in Guyuan and more remote Gansu towns.
Liu Hongjian wanted to pick out a brave general from the Liaodong soldiers for a while, but he also knew that the Liaodong soldiers did not like to stay in this bitter cold place, although Liaodong was also hard, but after all, it was his hometown.
Just as they were hesitating, Tang Feng and Xiang Xiong each bowed out a big man, a Lu Yi, and a Liu Wen, all of whom were guerrilla generals of the Liaodong Army, and Liu Hong gradually allowed them to serve as deputy commanders and ordered them to garrison the second town.
Five days later, on a snowy morning, Liu Hong gradually took the rest of Liaodong and Shaanxi to say goodbye.
Hao Shaoqi, Gao Yigong, Liu Wen, and Lu Yi all picked up their robes and knelt down.
"My lord, this is a long way to go to the mountains, and it is an honor to be able to fight side by side with adults in this life!" Liu Wennian is about forty years old, with a long beard, and the cold wind blows, and there are many snowflakes mixed between the beards.
"Uncle, Lu Yi has fought for half his life in this life, only in the half year that he has followed his uncle, this battle has been fought happily, Uncle is righteous, and I am not as good as Lu Yi.
Uncle, please rest assured, we swear by the head of the person on the item, and we will keep the peace of this place to repay the uncle's kindness! After Lu Yi finished speaking, he kowtowed solemnly to Liu Hong, his forehead touched the ground, and there were a lot of snowflakes.
Hao Shaoqi, Gao Yigong also immediately bowed down, in recent times, the two of them followed Liu Hong to gradually fight the local tyrants to divide the fields and distribute grain and grass, Liu Hong gradually did everything for the people here, Li Zicheng, Li Zijing, and even themselves, are ashamed of themselves.
Come to think of it, the so-called King Chuang is just blinded by his position of power!
The north wind whimpered, and Liu Hong gradually turned over and dismounted in a windbreaker.
"Right and wrong, let others comment, the four are all loyal and righteous people, they should put the people first, and take the territory of the Ming Dynasty as their responsibility.
Anyone who dares to infringe on the people and the Ming Dynasty can cut it first and then play it, and there is Ben Bo for you to carry on the court side!
Rest assured! Ben Bo has a hunch that this Shaanxi, Ben Bo will come again, and if Ben Bo sees that you are slacking off on armaments, he can't spare you! Let's go! ”
Liu Hongjian helped the four of them up, patted the snow flakes on their shoulders, turned over and got on the horse, only Yang Tianbao was as careful as Yang Tianbao saw that the corners of Liu Hongji's eyes were already moist.
"Uncle cherishes!" The four of them gave up.
"Let's go, go back to Shanxi!"
Liu Hong gradually waved his hand, and more than 12,000 soldiers from the rest of Liaodong and Qianhu went east.
