Chapter 186: A True Capable Minister
"Sun Chuanting, are you really not afraid of being suspicious of the saint and ending up in the end of stealing your family and exterminating your family?"
In the end, King Fu returned to the hall again, lowered his voice, and stared at Sun Chuanting deadly.
Now that the situation in Henan is corrupt, and the anti-thieves are becoming more and more rampant, if you can't stabilize the place in time and exterminate the anti-thieves, why do you need Your Majesty to ask for the guilt? The lower officials should apologize for their own crimes, so don't worry about the prince! ”
"Okay, if you are ruthless, this king will take the lead in donating 100 stones of grain, how about 100 taels of silver?"
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be bluffing, King Fu really made up his mind to die, so he had to grit his teeth and say.
"Hehe, the prince sits on 100,000 acres of fertile land, and he only donates these promises, so I'm afraid the rest of the big families in the city don't need to donate anymore."
Sun Chuanting laughed angrily, if King Fu really donated such a little money and food, he might as well not come.
"And how much do you want?"
"Five thousand stone of grain and five thousand taels of silver."
"What? It's impossible, surnamed Sun, you don't want to get an inch, is it really true that this king won't dare to beat you out? ”
King Fu stood up, his face distorted, and he pointed at Sun Chuanting and roared.
"Lord Wang, Xia Guan will also give you a bottom, the grain and silver are less, there is no need for the prince to do anything, today Xia Guan will use this Shang Fang sword to kill himself in this hall."
Sun Chuanting also stood up, pulled out the sword pinned to his waist and slapped it on the table.
Sun Chuanting was really cornered, Hong Chengchou threw this mess at him, and he couldn't take it.
Now that the northwest has just stabilized, there are not many soldiers and horses, and if it is withdrawn again, it will definitely be full of smoke again, and the final result will inevitably be to press the gourd and float the scoop.
Therefore, the available soldiers are also the 2,000 standard battalions under his command, not to mention the soldiers and horses to exterminate the Xiaohua King, if there is no money and food in hand, I am afraid that it will be difficult to stabilize the situation in Henan, and even the 2,000 standard battalions are in a hurry, and they are about to run out of food and wages.
"Well, I have a courtier like you in the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as the luck of the community, and today this king will make up for me in the Ming Dynasty."
King Fu had no choice but to sigh and sit back, but he scolded Chongzhen in his heart for bringing this stubborn donkey to Henan.
………
As soon as Sun Chuanting came, he went straight to King Fu's mansion, and almost all the big families in the city knew what he was going to do, so they all paid attention to it.
Seeing that he not only really got the grain and silver in the end, but also had hundreds of carts, he was shocked and miserable at the same time.
Sure enough, the next day, none of the merchants, gentry and landlords in the city were invited to the yamen by Sun Chuanting.
There's no nonsense, now everyone knows what the situation is, King Fu took the lead in donating 5,000 stone of food and 5,000 taels of silver, and everyone watched it.
Although everyone scolded King Fu in their hearts, how did they become so generous this time?
But the miser of King Fu took the lead, and they had no excuse to shirk, so they donated money and food one after another.
And because King Fu has made a bad start, he can't just donate something perfunctory, he has to follow his regulations.
First, there were a few top large households in the city, then more than a dozen large households, and finally small businesses, one by one.
At this point, there is no need for Sun Chuanting to worry about it, how much should that family donate, and which one can't donate more than which one, donate less, the big families have their own numbers in their hearts, and they will never go wrong.
In just three days, Sun Chuanting raised 50,000 stone of grain and 50,000 taels of silver, and then he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then summoned the civil officials of various prefectures and counties and the military attachés of various health centers to come to Luoyang to discuss matters.
Luoyang took the lead, and the big families from all over the country naturally followed.
In the following days, officials from various prefectures and counties in Henan Province also organized large households to start soup kitchens outside the city to help the victims.
Sun Chuanting also sent his staff to inspect and supervise everywhere, and any state or county that dared to be perfunctory and slack will be dismissed first, and then sent to the capital to be questioned.
After all, everyone has donated, if you don't donate, or don't donate according to the rules, you will find an excuse to raid the house, and the other gentry will only applaud.
In fact, it is not that the gentry in various places do not want to give porridge to the victims, but the disaster is too serious to be saved at all, and there is no one to organize and take the lead, so they all choose to close the city gates.
Because once the porridge is given in that place, the displaced people will run wherever they go, and finally as soon as the porridge stops, there will be riots.
Speaking of which, there is still no one to coordinate, and the prefect, the prefecture, and the county do not act.
In this way, Sun Chuanting only took a month to stabilize the situation in Henan, and recruited 10,000 young people from the disaster victims, and practiced every day with 2,000 standard camps as the base.
This is the difference between Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou is cautious and cautious, and he does not want to offend people, so he is destined to be unable to settle King Fu like Sun Chuanting.
It is true that Hong Chengchou came to Luoyang to go to King Fu's Mansion more than once, and every time he said all the good things, he knew it with reason, and moved it with affection, so he almost knelt down, but King Fu just didn't bird him.
And King Fu didn't take out a penny of food, and other big families in the city naturally did the same, at most they donated a little casually, just perfunctory.
Perhaps Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou are on par in terms of military and grand strategy, but when it comes to governing places, the former is far stronger than the latter.
Historically, Sun Chuanting has indeed been able to quickly stabilize the situation in the northwest.
In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, King Chuang became big in the Central Plains and besieged Kaifeng, Chongzhen had to use Sun Chuanting again, fished him out of the prison and threw him to the northwest.
Returning to the northwest after a three-year absence, although the situation was as dangerous as a tired egg, Sun Chuanting was still full of energy, and he did not complain in his heart.
If it weren't for Chongzhen's urging, the Ming Dynasty would never have perished so quickly, and even so, Sun Chuanting still defeated the army in Ruzhou several times in the case of lack of food and salary, and even attacked and almost killed Li Zicheng.
However, after all, it was too hasty, the grain and grass could not keep up, and the heavy rain for several days, the soldiers complained, and finally retreated to Tongguan, and there was no one in ten soldiers and horses, and the army took advantage of the situation to enter the pass.
The saddest thing is that because Sun Chuanting died in battle, it was so tragic that he couldn't even identify the corpse, and as a result, Chongzhen mistook him for a fake death and fled, and he didn't even enjoy the treatment he deserved.
Today's trajectory has been completely disrupted by Qin Yu.
Sun Chuanting learned the lesson of Hong Chengchou in Luoyang, and the 10,000 new troops, also three times a day, practiced the battle formation every day, and wanted to train an elite soldier who could fight field battles.
Because of this, he gritted his teeth and only recruited 10,000 people, as for how to train soldiers, as long as he has money, food and is willing to do it, anyone can actually do it.
Qi Shaobao's military book doesn't have a few copies in his hand?
The above information on how to select and train troops, the coordination of various large and small battle formations, and how to command cannot be more detailed.
However, there are really not many civilian and military generals who are willing to throw money at ordinary soldiers.
The principle is very simple, and everyone understands it, but when it comes to practice, it just can't be done.
Not only that, Sun Chuanting also put a lot of effort into firearms, invented a train that loaded the Furlong cannon on a trolley, and sent people to the northwest to purchase war horses, intending to form cavalry.
However, Lao Sun's buttocks were not yet hot, and Chongzhen's holy decree arrived again, asking him to lead his troops to rescue Kaifeng immediately.
Because, at this time, the king of Qin had already led his men and horses and approached Kaifeng City mightily.
