Chapter 131: Rebels Rise up Everywhere, Yang He Suppresses Bandits

When the dynasty led the people's salvation army to capture Shaanxi Xingdusi, eastern Shaanxi was also turbulent.

Ansai Gao Yingxiang, Yichuan King Zuogua, Feishanhu, Big Red Wolf, Luochuan Kinghu, Heishashen, Yanchuan King Monk, Qingyang Han Dynasty Prime Minister, Wudu Zhou Dawang, etc. Rebels from all walks of life took advantage of the situation and rose up.

Suddenly, the whole of Shaanxi was in chaos, with peasant uprisings and rebels everywhere.

The Ming army rushed here and there, constantly suppressing the rebels in various places, and Li Qiao was extremely busy.

However, instead of suppressing rebellions in various places, they made the rebels grow stronger.

And all the rebels nominally respected Wang Jiayin, which completely spread Wang Jiayin's reputation throughout the Ming Dynasty, causing Chongzhen to roar in the court, cursing Shaanxi Governor Li Qiao for being useless and failing to live up to his expectations.

Immediately afterwards, Chongzhen dismissed Li Qiao and was imprisoned.

However, even if Li Qiao was a waste, he was dismissed from his post and imprisoned.

But the peasant uprising in Shaanxi still needs someone to suppress it.

At this time, Yang He, who published the theory of vitality, came into Chongzhen's eyes.

Yang He's theory of vitality believes that the key to governance is to cultivate vitality.

Since the great military campaign, more and more troops have been added frequently, public and private relations have been exhausted, and the vitality of the common people has been damaged;

Since Liao Zuo, Guizhou and Shu lost their teachers and lost their discipline, their bones have become mounds, and their vitality has been damaged due to the feudal borders;

Since the gentry formed a party, they favored each other, took advantage of it, punished the good people, and damaged the vitality of the scholar-bureaucrats.

For example, when a serious illness begins, the pulses are not regulated, wind evil easily enters, and the Tao is being cultivated.

The general meaning is that in today's world, the vitality of the common people is greatly damaged, secondly, the vitality of the feudal frontiers is greatly damaged, and thirdly, the vitality of the scholar-bureaucrats is greatly damaged.

Therefore, Yang He advised the emperor not to rush for success, but to slowly recover his strength.

Chongzhen felt that the theory of vitality was very reasonable, so he summoned Yang He and wanted to appoint him as the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi to annihilate the peasant uprising army in Shaanxi.

Yang He was unwilling to do this, and even said so bluntly.

To say that he is to be the Governor is not for the right person.

He believed that he did not have the ability to detect disasters and had no experience in defending frontiers, so he wanted Chongzhen to choose someone else.

However, Chongzhen obviously had great confidence in him and directly interrupted his statement and appointed him as the governor of the three sides.

Later, Chongzhen asked him how to eradicate banditry after arriving in Shaanxi.

However, Yang He, who was forcibly appointed as the governor of Shaanxi by Chongzhen, was just a civil servant. How could he know how to eradicate banditry?

He could only say helplessly:

"The only thing we can do is to be cautious and self-sufficient, and to care for the soldiers."

Then, after some reflection, Yang He said again:

“Shaanxi rebels and bandits break up and disperse, disperse and then reunite, which is why they are dispersed.

We must provide real relief to enable them to make ends meet, and then we can truly say they are disbanded.

After disbandment, they still need to be resettled, and they must be given real cattle seeds so that they can return to farming and resume their work, and then they can be truly resettled.

If this is the case, then the thief has the joy of life and has no desire to die, so he will naturally care for him.

The settlement is established, and the suppression of the situation is also over."

All in all, it is disaster relief. As long as there is money and food, the people can survive, and those rebellious people will naturally end without suppressing them.

But he forgot that there was an uprising in Shaanxi now. Will they give him time to slowly provide disaster relief?

As for the specific strategy for suppressing bandits, Yang He did not have any.

However, Chongzhen was very satisfied with Yang He's answer, and immediately expressed his cordiality. It was indeed appropriate to issue an edict and appease him, not to simply suppress him.

Finally, he said seriously: "Kou is my innocent son, so I should caress him."

In the end, with three parts of anxiety, three parts of helplessness, and four parts of determination to serve the Ming Dynasty and the emperor to give him important tasks, Yang He embarked on the road to Shaanxi to serve as the governor of the three sides.

When he came to Shaanxi on the first day of the new year, Yang He was still very active in suppressing bandits and made many achievements.

Wang Zuogua and others attacked Yichuan, but were repulsed by the county magistrate Chengcai, and turned to attack Hancheng. Hancheng's army had no generals, so Yang He appointed Hong Chengchou, who participated in politics, to lead the army to resist, and captured and killed more than 300 people.

After that, Yang He mobilized his troops again and beat many rebels into panic.

But after that, he began to implement his ideas and policies, using both suppression and appeasement, focusing on recruitment. He began to recruit many rebels and promised that as long as they returned to farming honestly, they would not be held accountable for their crimes.

Facing the powerful Ming army, the so-called rebels in the east and west naturally surrendered one after another without the ability to resist.

Suddenly, the situation in Shaanxi turned out to be very good.

Even the first rebel leader outside the dynasty, Wang Er, died in the process.

His general Wang Zizai led the remaining remnants to join Wang Jiayin's rebel army.

Although the dynasty was concerned about the disturbances from the outside world, it did not pay much attention to it. Instead, it spent all its energy on the development and construction of the territory.

After these battles, the dynasty has discovered that the National Salvation Army and the ordinary army are completely on two levels.

He was fully capable of leading the People's Salvation Army to sweep through all armies and even directly occupy Shuntian Mansion.

However, that doesn't make much sense.

Because they simply do not have that many management talents, and the consequences of doing so will only lead to complete chaos in the world.

Therefore, the most important task for the Dynasty and others now, in addition to building and developing the territory, is to cultivate enough management talents.

As for the official position in the national destiny, it only plays a supporting role.

Even before, the dynasty vigorously promoted members of rural cooperatives and village chiefs to serve as officials at all levels. Didn't they also have experience as village chiefs?

You need at least some management experience to promote them.

But now, Dynasty and others suddenly occupied Shaanxi Xingdu Division, and the gap in management talents was immediately revealed.

Of course, if it were not so strict, there would still be many people willing to join in.

However, as the People's Salvation Army has grown to its current scale, the dynasty does not want to be too complacent.

Therefore, although the dynasty had an army that could sweep the world, it was not in a hurry to sweep the world immediately. Instead, it peacefully guarded its one-third of an acre and began to develop the internal affairs of the territory, regardless of the turbulence of the outside world.

By June, Shaanxi Xingdusi had finally basically settled down, and the national destiny was completely integrated.

However, compared to the original territory of the People's Salvation Army, Shaanxi Xingdusi naturally has a lot of gray and black energy rising, but it needs to win people's hearts little by little later.

At the same time, the news that the National Salvation Army had completely occupied Shaanxi Xingdusi finally spread, and the whole country was in an uproar.

Unexpectedly, in Shaanxi, such a force suddenly appeared and even occupied a small half of Shaanxi.

The name of the dynasty also appeared on the desks of major forces for the first time.

Of course, as an emerging force, many leaders were shocked that the dynasty and the National Salvation Army occupied a small half of Shaanxi.

But until it could withstand the attack of the Ming Dynasty army, not many forces would take it seriously.

However, this does not include Chongzhen.

After all, Shaanxi was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he had lost his ancestral territory.

When Chongzhen received the letter, he couldn't help but froze on the spot and murmured in a low voice:

"Yang Jiamo betrayed me, Yang Jiamo betrayed me"

At the end, Chongzhen felt his throat was so sweet that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty, for the present plan, we must quickly send troops to encircle and suppress

Otherwise, this may become another post-Jin Dynasty slave."

Zhou Daodeng, who had just been promoted to the cabinet capital, spoke solemnly.

"Who can take on this important task in encirclement and suppression?"

After coming back to his senses slightly, Chongzhen couldn't help but ask as if talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, now Yang He, the governor of the three sides, has been quite effective in suppressing bandits in Shaanxi.

Besides, the location of the National Salvation Army should also be within its scope of responsibility, and it should naturally supervise Yang He to suppress the bandits."

Without much thought, Zhou Daodeng spoke again.

After all, Yang He, the governor of the three sides, is really doing a good job now. He is also the closest to the People's Salvation Army and falls within the scope of his responsibilities, so he is naturally the best candidate.

"Yes, yes, yes, I issue an order to urge Yang He and order him to wipe out the Shaanxi People's Salvation Army as soon as possible."

Yang He, who had just made some achievements here, did not delay much after receiving the emperor's imperial edict. He directly mobilized his army, passed Pingliang Mansion, and went towards Gongchang Mansion.

After a series of great victories, Yang He felt that these rebels were just a group of rioters who could be destroyed as soon as the imperial army arrived.

The only thing I'm worried about is suppressing Fuqi.

Therefore, he didn't take it seriously at first about the People's Salvation Army, and just treated it as an ordinary peasant army.

On June 12, when Yang He led his army to the junction of Pingliang Prefecture and Gongchang Prefecture, they were suddenly attacked by thousands of people's salvation troops.

Being careless and unprepared, the Ming army suffered heavy losses for a while and had to retreat for more than ten miles before they could escape.

When Yang He reorganized his army and attacked Gongchang Mansion again, he had become much more cautious.

Although the People's Salvation Army made many more raids, causing many casualties, they were finally forced back.

However, even before they reached the city of Gongchang Mansion, the Ming army was already timid from top to bottom, including Yang He.

How is this People's Salvation Army comparable to the ordinary uprising peasant army?

Even the elite border troops and even the Tatars outside the pass are inferior.

A team of just a thousand people actually dared to attack their army of tens of thousands, and even retreated calmly after charging several times.

Involuntarily, the marching speed of the Ming army began to become slower and slower.

In the end, they could not even march more than ten miles in one day.

It was under this circumstance that the National Salvation Army assembled more than 5,000 regular troops and launched the final surprise attack when the Ming army passed through a mountain road.

This time, the Ming army finally could no longer hold on, and soon broke into a rout. Then, like a burst of water from a dike, it was out of control, and the Ming army was completely defeated.

Yang He finally led the remaining troops to escape.

However, the People's Salvation Army did not stop there and directly launched a retaliatory attack.

The National Salvation Army invaded Pingliang Mansion and Fengyang Mansion in one fell swoop, completely occupying the two mansions, and joined forces with Wang Shi's troops who had captured Jinglu Guards.

Although this made the management talents of the People's Salvation Army even more nervous.

But the Dynasty believed that this attack was very necessary.

I can't let the enemies attack me and I can only passively defend, right?

As the saying goes, hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches.

After what happened this time, the Ming army would no longer dare to attack easily, giving him more time to develop.

Time is always on their side.
