The fall of Kaifeng sounded the death knell of the Ming Dynasty's demise.
The long fourteen years of Chongzhen have passed, but the new fifteen years of Chongzhen show no signs of improvement.
If the fourteenth year of Chongzhen is the fourteenth level of hell, then the fifteenth year of Chongzhen is the fifteenth level of hell.
The number of bandits in the territory of the Ming Dynasty has not decreased. On the contrary, there have been countless bandits, bandits, horse thieves, and bandits...
The most disappointing thing is that in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there have been countless bandits. There has been a trend of local officials spontaneously welcoming Li Hongji and seeking refuge with Li Hongji. This trend also benefited Zhang Bingzhong, which allowed Ai Nengqi and Yang Wenxiu to enter Jiangxi in a short period of time.
Li Hongji sent an envoy to discuss with Yun Zhao the ownership of Luoyang City. Because the person who came was an unknown person, Yun Zhao thought this was a clear proof that Li Hongji looked down on him, so he killed that person. messenger.
Yun Zhao’s reputation for killing messengers has spread throughout the world.
Therefore, no one told Yun Zhao any nonsense about "the two armies are fighting without killing the envoy".
Killing the envoy would be equivalent to telling Li Hongji that there is no discussion on the Luoyang issue.
Niu Jinxing also speculated that Yun Zhao was extremely dissatisfied with Li Hongji at this time through the incident of Yun Zhao killing the envoy.
If Luoyang cannot be saved, can Kaifeng be saved? Can Henan be saved?
As a result, Li Hongji decisively gave up his plan to attack Yingtian Mansion and turned his attention to Liu Zeqing.
After Liu Zeqing heard that Chen Yongfu and Ding Qirui died in the battle in Heze Mansion, he was so frightened that he hurriedly joined forces with Huang Degong, a newly emerging warrior, to prevent Li Hongji's army from entering Shandong.
Yun Zhao wrote a letter stating that there were no more rebels in Luoyang, and the court could send officials to manage it. The court was very silent. Just when Yun Zhao lost patience, the court appointed Zhu Cunji, who had been deposed as the king. He was ordered to temporarily act as the magistrate of Luoyang.
When Zhu Cunji received this order, he was so frightened that he went to Yunzhao overnight and wanted to commit suicide.
"Emperor, this is me killing me..." Zhu Cunji cried miserably.
"Very good."
Yun Zhao answered calmly.
Fortunately, Zhu Cunji knew that Yun Zhao was not a person who liked to talk nonsense, so he felt relieved.
In front of Zhu Cunji, Yun Zhao found the secretary supervisor and the head of the administrative affairs department, and ordered them to prepare a strong working group for Zhu Cunji, stationed in Luoyang, and follow Zhu Cunji's direction in everything. opinions prevail.
At the same time, Yun Yang's deputy general Yun Shu was ordered to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Luoyang.
As a result, the boundary monument of Lantian County appeared east of Luoyang for the first time.
The new Luoyang magistrate Zhu Cunji entered Luoyang City at high speed and announced that Luoyang would be under the rule of Lan Tian.
As soon as the news spread, all the thieves and bandits in Luoyang packed up their belongings and fled overnight.
Unfortunately, when they got the newsIt's still late.
Before Zhu Cunji arrived in Luoyang, the men in black from Lantian County, the Secret Intelligence Department, and the Supervision Department had already targeted them. After Zhu Cunji announced his ownership of Luoyang, these people, big and small, The thieves were arrested one after another.
Under the careful arrangement, no one escaped.
The grass outside Luoyang City is luxuriant, white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.
These bandits who were captured alive had to put on chains and clean up the bones in Luoyang City and the surrounding areas. In the process, they could only feed on the hordes of wild dogs around Luoyang.
In February, spring sowing is about to begin. Black smoke billows from the land of Luoyang, and farmers are everywhere burning wasteland.
Luoyang is finally settled and can grow food.
Perhaps God has mercy on the people here. Before the apricot blossoms bloomed, a spring rain fell on this barren land. In the evening, the light rain turned into goose feathers. Heavy snow.
The snowflakes melted when they fell on the ground. As the snow fell heavier and heavier, the blizzard covered all the sadness in Luoyang.
Luoyang has long been sparsely populated, but somehow, many people have appeared from all directions, especially Mang Mountain. There are more than 100,000 people coming out of this mountain.
Zhu Cunji looked at the dense crowd outside the city and asked Yang Xiong, the chief of Luoyang: "Aren't they rogue bandits?"
Yang Xiong, who had just returned from Hanzhong to take charge of the overall situation in Luoyang, said: "They're just refugees."
"What should we do?"
Yang Xiong smiled and said: "We have already prepared to open the city gate and let them in. It's cold and they will always look for them. A warm place to spend the night."
"What if they are restless?"
"They will settle down if they have food."
"Oh, oh, yes. I brought a lot of food.”
“Lend it to the people!”
“Lend it to them?”
“Yes, lend it to them for three years. Pay it off."
"What will they give in return?"
"We will give them land to cultivate."
"Oh, but, they will. We don’t have anything, so what can we use for farming?”
“Farming tools are being transported, and cattle and mules are also on their way.”
“These things are also borrowed. "For the common people?"
"No, it's renting! Each of these refugees will be grouped into one li, and farm tools, livestock, seeds, money and grain will all be rented to the village chief, who will distribute them uniformly. Hundreds of households cultivate the land.
They must pay a certain amount of interest every year until their labor income exceeds the value of these things. The labor output of each household will be converted into cattle and farm tools for the people.
Don’t worry, this place will be restored to life within three years. ”
Zhu Cunji is finally complete. experienced a land reform in Lantian County because,From now on, except for some people who did not leave Luoyang to guard their own land, the rest of the land became the land of Lantian County.
After Lantian County obtains these lands, it will allocate them according to the re-edited list. No matter who owned the land before, at this moment, almost all the land belongs to the government.
Families with insufficient land will be provided with land. As for families with extra land, they will either flee or be killed by the bandits.
Therefore, every refugee family assigned to land regards this land as their lifeblood. At this time, even if bandits come, they can risk their lives to fight.
If you didn’t fight before, you didn’t have a reason to fight.
Now, I have four acres of land!
The document was held tightly in my arms, with my fingerprints on it.
The matter of allocating land went very quickly. Not only were the people transferred from Lantian busy with their feet off the ground, but those borrowed from Mianchi were also busy day and night.
These people are very familiar with the matter of allocating land, and they are very rough in handling matters. When encountering disputes, they always draw lots. Once you are unlucky, it becomes eternal and there is no way to change it.
On the other hand, this is also a relatively fair measure. This method has solved countless disputes.
When the first cattle appeared on the field, the apricot blossoms finally bloomed.
The apricot blossoms are in bloom. There are no scholars and ladies holding umbrellas on spring outings in Luoyang, but there are countless merchants.
The prosperity of Lantian's business has reached the point where it cannot be expanded. This time Luoyang got it, these merchants were far more excited than Yun Zhao, the owner of Lantian.
However, Luoyang City is still empty at this time...
Although the shops and houses in the city were ruined by the rogue bandits, there are still merchants even in the ruins. Carrying boxes of silver coins and starting to buy, not only Lantian merchants came, but even salt merchants from as far away as the south of the Yangtze River, there were also people who placed heavy bets on Luoyang.
I don’t know when several kind-hearted old monks appeared in the dilapidated White Horse Temple. They happily tidied up the deserted temple, and delivered their ultimatums to the government with great expectations, claiming that they would He is a monk from White Horse Temple who has escaped.
The numerous Taoist temples and nunneries in Luoyang also have their own Taoist priests who have fled. When the nuns come back, they hope that Luoyang will flourish again, so that the incense in their temples will also flourish.
At the same time, Yushan Academy also sent people to inspect Prince Fu's Mansion. They thought it was very suitable to serve as a school... Even Mingyue Tower also sent people to look for a good place to open a new store.
In short, what belongs to the government belongs to the government, what belongs to the army belongs to the army, what belongs to the academy belongs to the academy, what belongs to the monks belongs to the monks, what belongs to the Taoist priests belongs to the Taoist priests...
After just one month, the seeds have been All the land has been planted, the willows have sprouted new shoots, and the people are busy in the fieldsBusinessmen are busy in the city, and officials are busy plowing in several counties around Luoyang.
The first wisp of black smoke rising in Luoyang came from the brick kilns.
A group of kiln workers with great foresight and pioneering spirit ventured to build brick kilns near Luoyang before Luoyang City was part of Lantian County. Now, their adventure has paid off hugely.
No matter how many bricks and tiles they produce, it is not enough to fill the huge belly of this city.
"I have built more than a dozen small yards in Luoyang."
Qian Duoduo saw her husband closing his eyes to rest, and after talking a lot of nonsense, he added these words It was said in it.
"Ten, or nineteen?"
"Okay, thirty-seven."
"Do you live there, or do I live there?" "
"It is reserved for you to reward meritorious ministers in the future."
"They do not need rewards. The law clearly stipulates what kind of reward will be given for what kind of merit. "
"Even if the ministers don't need it, you can always win people's hearts. If there are some arrogant people who don't want to be officials, and you need them again, just throw out a set of courtyards. It can achieve very good results."
"People with real backbone either die in battle or starve to death. There are very few people with backbone alive."
"Ten thousand. "What if?"
"That's the guy who came to beg me to give him an official position. This kind of person is not worthy of my bribes. Be careful of Xie Zhi's subordinates. They are auditing everywhere in Luoyang. There is no good fruit in their hands."
Qian Duoduo sneered and said: "Every yard I bought was determined by the judicial department to be ownerless, and the money went into it. Finance Department, the yard becomes mine."
Since Lantian County was established, the most brutal rape case occurred in Luoyang. For this reason, the old hidden forces in Luoyang were almost eliminated by Han Lingshan. Kill all of this forerunner.
Therefore, Yun Zhao was not worried that there would be any big trouble, because Han Lingshan went to Luoyang again.
After winning Luoyang, Yun Zhao can finally turn over, and he hopes that day will come as soon as possible.
