Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 714 Means (Fourth Change)

There are all kinds of harm in the Yellow River, but only wealth.

The Yellow River flows through Mongolia, with Yinshan Mountains in the north and deserts in the south. There is very little land available for reclamation.

However, the Dahei River, a tributary of the Yellow River in Fengzhou (Hohhot), and the Yellow River alluvially formed the rich Tumote Plain.

The disadvantage is that the river channel is wide and shallow, and the flood discharge capacity is weak.

The Mongols are not good at farming at all. Even if they have a good environment, they still have insufficient food supply for a long time.

Plant in spring and gather in autumn, plant widely and harvest thinly.

Their animal husbandry economy is very fragile, just like the farming economy in the Great Wall.

He Jinzhao listened to the description of Zhao Dun, the grandson of the White Lotus Sect, that the origin of the Han people who farmed in Bansheng (Fengzhou) were soldiers who fled, members of the White Lotus Sect who failed in the uprising, and poor people on the border.

The main labor force is the population plundered by the Mongols.

When Altan Khan was in power, he implemented a policy of light taxation, which opened up thousands of hectares of fertile land and hundreds of villages at once.

However, the output of drought-resistant and cold-resistant crops such as broomcorn millet and sorghum has always been unable to keep up.

On the contrary, the leaders of the White Lotus Sect became the big landlords outside the Great Wall. In addition, Altan Khan repeatedly raised troops, and the exploitation of farmers became more and more severe.

The life of the Han people became more and more difficult, so everyone was homesick, and the court recruited people back.

With the opening and closing of the mutual market in Longqing, there are about [-] people who have been farming outside one after another.

Obviously, both Lin Danhan and Su Tai did not include these Han people among their own people.

"Military division, Chahar is weak, which is not good for us." He Jinzhao pointed to Datong and said:

"We can exchange some old food with him, but we still suggest Lin Danhan to knock on Daming's bamboo stick.

Fight against Xuanfu, or Datong, this year's money and grain must be in place! "

"Marshal, there are quite a lot of wealthy households in Guihua City. They don't worry about food, drink, gold and silver. There is also a lot of food."

Zhao Dun clasped his fists slightly and said, "Lin Danhan asked to trade food, is he preparing for war?"

"Now that I am weak, how can there be so much food that can be traded?"

He Jinzhao shook his head, and drew a circle along the Hetao and other places:
"Since there are so many Han tenants on the grasslands, and they don't have to worry about food and drink, why don't they row over and farm for us.

A wealthy landlord in Guihua City refused to agree, so Khan went to sit at his house today. "

"clear."

Qiu Zhitao immediately sorted out the Han policy on life in Mongolia.

"Marshal, among the landlords and wealthy households in Guihua City, there are many members of the White Lotus Sect."

Hearing Zhao Dun's reminder, He Jinzhao just said:
"There are more than [-] people, how big a force is, and they don't know how to make good use of it.

Even the members of the White Lotus Sect must know who is the king on the prairie, otherwise don't blame me for not selling Jiuye's face. "

"Yes."

Zhao Dun responded hastily, he had to write a letter to his grandfather, lest the hammer bandits go north.

Otherwise, people, money and land will all be lost.

He Jinzhao was handling government affairs in Hequ County, and Mrs. Guo, who was at the forefront, was leading her subordinates and a large number of auxiliary soldiers to clean up the rotting corpses.

They were all burned and buried deeper, and occasionally a lot of weapons can be picked up, which can still be used after remelting.

The officers and soldiers suddenly had no guards in Shilou and other places, and the siege of Wubao County was lifted immediately.

The princes of the county prince's mansion who had only been arrogant in the south for a few months without being killed by the bandits all started to flee collectively.

The hammer bandits came, and even if they survived, they would have to be sent to dig coal in the black coal kiln, no one could bear this kind of treatment.

It is far enough away from Taiyuan, without the oppression of King Jin, they became the kings of the gentry around them, oppressing the rest of the people.

There are no other thieves, and no officers and soldiers.

Mrs. Guo found that many common people showed a face of welcoming Master Wang to the hammer bandits.

It is hoped that they can also be allocated fields like the people in northern Shanxi, and rely on their own efforts in the future to obtain their own piece of land.

He was not familiar with this kind of work, so he could only send someone to deliver a letter to his own commander.

Commander, hurry up and send someone here, the people here can't wait to join our team of hammer bandits.

Compared with the enthusiastic expectations of the people in the north and south of Shanxi, the life of the officers and soldiers in Shaanxi is not so easy.

Relying on the number of people reported by natural disasters, Hong Chengchou was recognized by the court, saying that part of the money would be distributed.

Then this year, some taxes in Shaanxi can also be withheld, but the gold flowers and silver belonging to the emperor cannot be stopped.

Summer tax and autumn grain are converted into gold and silver only in Shanxi and Zhejiang.

Chongzhen meant that the tax owed to the Ministry of Households could be exempted, but the money belonging to him could not be exempted, and had to be escorted to Beijing.

Hong Chengchou finally got what he wanted, and he knew that His Majesty urged officials in Shanxi and Henan.

The only thing he was puzzled about was He Jinchao's postman, Jianguo's title.

In Chongzhen's view, with He Jinzhao's actions, it is absolutely impossible to do such a constructive thing. He has already sent spies to verify the matter.

Hong Chengchou didn't care about the incident being revealed. What shocked him was that the emperor was able to insert spies among the hammer bandits, which really surprised him.

He tried so many times and failed.

Hong Chengchou was overjoyed, and immediately wrote a letter, hoping that His Majesty could pass over the spy's contact information to him.

Otherwise, every time the news is conveyed thousands of miles away, there will be no timeliness for the planning of the war.

As for the spy Zhang Fuzhen, Yang Jiamo has not been in contact with him so far, since He Jinzhao flooded the army.

Then don't even think about it.

Cao Wenzhao also took advantage of this matter to write a letter, saying that Yang Jiamo and others were already timid, and they really shouldn't stay in Shanxi, which would easily affect the morale of the army.

He requested that Yang Jiamo be transferred back to Shaanxi to change defense, and that He Huchen and Yang Qi come over to assist him.

Hong Chengchou felt that Yang Jiamo's remnant soldiers would probably tremble when facing Shang He Jinzhao, and his mentality was different.

Therefore, it was the same as Cao Wenzhao's suggestion. As for He Huchen, he had to be kept by his side. Whoever made his son He Zan a high-ranking Hammer Bandit was still sent there by himself.

They must not be easily allowed to meet each other on the battlefield, otherwise He Huchen will be easily released.

As for using his father to threaten He Zan, that insane person, Hong Chengchou didn't bother to do that, otherwise he would inevitably get angry.

Chen Qiyu has been training soldiers, preparing to cross the river and go deep into the hinterland of the hammer bandits.

Zuo Guangxian is still making firearms, and only Yang Qi is the right candidate.

With such a big incident, Hong Chengchou doesn't have to worry about food and grass in a short time.

Nearly 5 people were actually lost before and after. With so many fewer mouths, a lot of food can be saved.

"Governor, the hammer bandits haven't made any large-scale military mobilization recently." Fan Yiheng waved his hands to make his subordinates retreat:
"It has always been to prevent a major epidemic after the flood."

"Well, our army is also close to the river bank, is there any epidemic around?"

"Someone is sick."

"Sick people must be thieves who want to join the hammer bandits, otherwise how can they get close to the river.

The messenger killed them all and threw them into the Yellow River. "

Fan Yiheng's heart trembled, and he cupped his hands in response.
