Chapter 227 Sun Chuanting went out of the mountain

Wang Qia and the others were very angry, but the request of Yang He and the others could not be ignored. Lou Daji dared to say that kind of cruel words, and on the other hand, it can be imagined that Shaanxi's troops are indeed insufficient.

Send troops to help, but where is the money and food to mobilize troops and horses? If you want to tune it, you can only find a way to adjust it nearby. As the secretary of the military department, Wang Qia will definitely not be able to hide, thinking about it, he figured out a way, "Your Majesty, now that Shanxi is fine, there are Xuanfu and Datong border troops in the north to support, Shanxi's soldiers and horses are temporarily useless, it is better to concentrate and transfer to Shaanxi, which not only solves Shaanxi's urgent needs, but also saves a lot of money and food." ”

Chongzhen pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "It is a good way to transfer Shanxi soldiers and horses into Shaanxi, but Wang Aiqing, have you ever thought about what to do if the thieves take advantage of the situation to attack Shanxi?" ”

As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, Wang Qia couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty, Shanxi is in the east of Shaanxi, and now all the attention of the thieves is focused on Xi'an Mansion in the west, and they can't take care of Shanxi." If the thieves want to enter Shaanxi, they must first take Xi'an and Yan'an. At present, Xi'an Mansion is still in the hands of Lord Yang, and in Yan'an Mansion, the imperial army has captured Ansai City, in this case, the thieves have no courage to attack Shanxi directly. ”

"That's it," Chongzhen showed a little embarrassment on his face. In fact, what Wang Qia said is also common sense, and many people know it. Of course, it's not that Chongzhen is ignorant, he is not a general who leads troops, and he doesn't have the habit of looking at maps. Moreover, the map of this year is really not flattering, and even if you have seen it, if you don't know enough about the local area, you will not know much about it.

Since Shanxi has no worries in a short period of time, naturally no one opposes the transfer of troops to Shaanxi. But then, who to send to Shaanxi will be a problem.

Because of the previous increase in commercial taxes and the chaos in Shanxi, Chongzhen still knew a little about the officials in Shanxi, so he didn't think about it, so he proposed: "Order Zhang Honggong to mobilize Shanxi guards and rush to Yan'an Mansion with all his strength to cooperate with the border army to take Yan'an." ”

Chongzhen felt that there should be nothing wrong with his proposal, but as soon as he finished speaking, Li Biao came out and said: "Your Majesty, sending Zhang Honggong still needs to be considered." ”

Chongzhen was puzzled, "Why is this?" Zhang Honggong is the chief soldier of Shanxi, and at this moment, it is the time to use him. The court uses him, can he still refuse? ”

Chongzhen's face was not very good, Wang Qia lowered his head, and said unhurriedly: "The minister didn't mean that, it's just that Zhang Honggong just came to the official document not long ago, and he has recently been ill and needs to recuperate. ”

"Huh? And what's going on? ”

Zhang Honggong was sick and recuperated for a period of time, and this matter was not fake, and he also went to the Ministry of War. However, Zhang Honggong is absolutely not sick, he just wants to hide and relax on the grounds of recuperation. The business tax was imposed not long ago, and the Jin merchants were unpleasant, and the Chang family was offended thoroughly, Geng Ruqi, Gao Jie and those people were unwilling, and they might have to rectify the matter again.

Zhang Honggong didn't dare to refuse Geng Ruqi, and he also didn't want to continue to offend Jin Shang, so he thought about it and came up with such a bad idea. In order to be able to get permission, he also specially sent a benefit to Wang Qia, after all, it is not so easy for the general army of one party to ask for sick leave.

Moreover, Wang Qia did not want Zhang Honggong to go to Shaanxi. Leading the troops into Shaanxi, once the battle is not effective, the court will inevitably be accountable, and when Zhang Honggong is unlucky, he Wang Qia will not get any good, because Zhang Honggong is his Wang Qia's person.

Your own people must be protected, and as for the others, you can't care about it.

Zhang Honggong can't go, so he has to choose someone else. Now the Manchu Dynasty has really a headache, and there are really few people in Shanxi who have the ability to lead troops. At this time, Chen Xinjia, the squire of the military department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, we seem to have forgotten someone, Sun Chuanting is still in Daizhou now." ”

"Last year, the thieves entered Shanxi, and Sun Chuanting commanded Ruoding and gave the thieves a hard blow. This person is both civil and military, and he is also loyal to His Majesty, why not let him lead the troops? ”

"Sun Chuanting?" Chongzhen muttered to himself, Wang Chengen bent down and reminded him in his ear, and he remembered who Sun Chuanting was. At the beginning, in the Shanxi Military Newspaper, in addition to Tiemo's name, it belonged to Sun Chuanting, hey, why did you forget this person?

"Okay, I ordered Sun Chuanting to garrison Shanxi, and the title of director of the leading military department, immediately led Shanxi soldiers and horses into Shaanxi to help the border army exterminate the thieves in Yan'an."

.......

In Daizhou, in a small courtyard, Sun Chuanting sat quietly under the porch, holding a book.

Since the thieves entered Shanxi last year, Sun Chuanting has not left Daizhou. Although he left, he was not idle. During this free time, I listened a lot, watched a lot, and thought a lot.

Now Sun Chuanting, compared with two years ago, is much more mature in thinking, and he is no longer so radical in thinking about things. When he was young, he was high-spirited, and he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, fought against the eunuchs, and even resigned and went home.

I was really free, and I had more time to think, and gradually I realized that what I did before was not necessarily right. Especially the recent increase in commercial tax has made Sun Chuanting see through some things thoroughly.

The eunuchs are clear, and each has its own necessity. Now that the eunuch party has left the center, there is almost no voice of the eunuch party in the imperial court, but the imperial court has not become better, and the Ming Dynasty has not become better, but the treasury has become more empty. The increase in commercial taxes, but not in the south of the Yangtze River, has caused the people of Shaanxi to boil, and these things are actually the methods that those good officials who ask for the lives of the people come up with.

According to Sun Chuanting's knowledge, many eunuchs went to Yunfu to make a living, but these villains in the eyes of most people have made the construction of Yunfu thriving.

In the court, for various reasons, he may not be able to see clearly in this life, or he is unwilling to see clearly because of interests.

Being outward, calming down, being a bystander, seeing many things very thoroughly.

Closing the book, Sun Chuanting exhaled softly. I don't regret my decision to resign, but now, it's time to go back to the mountain.

The next day, a holy decree was issued to Daizhou, and Sun Chuanting accepted the holy decree calmly, and at the same time took on this important responsibility.

On the seventh day of October in the second year of Chongzhen, a day of autumn wind.

Sun Chuanting was ordered to go on the expedition!

Shaanxi and Shanxi are close to each other, and Sun Chuanting did not wait for all the soldiers of the Shanxi Guards to assemble, so he first led more than 2,000 people from Yanmen Pass and Ningwu Station out of Shanxi and into Shaanxi.

Sun Chuanting's march was very fast, and as soon as he entered Shaanxi, the soldiers pointed directly at Mizhi County, and did not give the peasant army any time to react.

Mizhi County, back and forth, back and forth, has endured more than a dozen military disasters, and has long been dilapidated. However, its geographical location still plays a very important role in determining this dilapidated city.

Sun Chuanting led his troops to raid, and in just half an hour, he took Mizhi County from more than 300 peasant troops.

At this point, Ansai City and Mizhi County faced each other from east to west, completely locking up the possibility of the peasant army going north.
