Because of Yang Sichang's death, Chongzhen was too sad and announced a three-day break from the dynasty. [No pop-ups. 】

However, as soon as Yang Sichang died, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai made a quarrel even more fiercely, not taking the officials and troops into account at all, and their men and horses were rapidly expanding.

Chongzhen is deeply worried, at this time the world is already full of flames, Guanzhong belongs to the Qin army, Henan's Li Zicheng ambition is getting bigger and bigger, it is said that after defeating Luoyang, but also to attack Kaifeng, in case Kaifeng is lost again, the whole Henan will be Li Chuang's world. In the Xuzhou area of the Central Plains, Fan Ju led the fifth battalion of the left to show off his might and be arrogant, coupled with the Zhangluo coalition army in Huguang, which is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

At this time, in the court camp, Lu Xiangsheng, who could fight tough battles, was dead, and Hong Chengchou was stationed in Datong to block the Houjin army. There's no way to help anymore. Relying only on some local governors and general soldiers could not stop the offensive of the anti-thieves.

Chongzhen knows very well that at this time, he needs a very capable person to suppress Li Zicheng in Henan first, Henan is a place of confidants, and there is no room for loss. But looking at the courtiers, there is no such general.

Late that night, he was worried in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Wang Chengen, the personal eunuch, came over and said softly: "Long live Lord, you still have to take care of the dragon body, you haven't slept well for two days." ”

Chongzhen sighed: "The country is like this, thieves are swarming, and they have been suppressed for a long time, how can I sleep peacefully?" As soon as Yang Sichang died, there was no longer anyone around me who supervised the thief......"

Wang Chengen said: "The old slave doesn't dare to discuss the government, but at this moment, ......"

Chongzhen turned his head to look at him: "You have something to say." Wang Chengen knelt down and kowtowed: "Please long live the old slave's sin of lying words." Chongzhen smiled and ordered him to stand up: "You say, since the day I ascended the throne, you have been the closest person to me, and I won't blame you." ”

Wang Chengen thanked him, and then said: "If you want to say that the person who supervises the thief, the old slave thinks that there is another one." ”

Chongzhen's eyes lit up: "Who is it?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "It's that Sun Chuanting." ”

Chongzhen was first overjoyed, and then sighed: "Don't I know? But he had a deep holiday with Yang Sichang, and as soon as Yang Sichang died, I used him, which is a bit ...... I'm a little sorry for Yang Sichang. ”

Wang Chengen said: "From the perspective of the old slave, Lord Yang is a great loyal minister, and he can give his life for my Ming Dynasty." Therefore, if Sun Chuanting can be used to quell the thief, Lord Yang's spirit in the sky will also be happy. ”

As soon as he said this, Chongzhen nodded again and again, he walked back and forth a few steps, and ordered: "Spread my decree, and Sun Chuanting will meet you." You yourself go to the edict and take him out. ”

Wang Chengen received the decree, left the palace, and went straight to the edict.

The edict prison is better than the ordinary prison, there is no smelly, pest-ridden filth everywhere, because the people here are all ministers of the DPRK and the central government, some of these people will die, but some will be released from prison, and the officials will be reinstated or even sealed, so the jailers also want to leave a good impression, so that they can get some benefits in the future. Therefore, the prison was cleaned every day, and the food provided to the prisoners was relatively clean.

Hai Rui scolded Emperor Jiajing and was sent to prison, according to what he later said, the food in prison was better than that at home. Therefore, after a few years in prison, Hai Jui's health was better than before, comparable to a sanatorium.

Wang Chengen walked into the edict prison in the middle of the night, went straight to the innermost cell, and found that the lights inside were still on.

Could it be that Sun Chuanting didn't sleep either?

Someone opened the cell door, and Wang Chengen walked in, unconsciously taken aback.

I saw Sun Chuanting sitting at a small table with his back to the door, with an oil lamp on the table and a large piece of paper. That's a map of Henan.

Sun Chuanting heard the door open and someone walked in, thinking it was a jailer, so he said, "I don't have much lamp oil, so I will add a little more." ”

Wang Chengen didn't answer, just stood there, his eyes a little moist.

Sun Chuanting noticed something unusual, looked back, and saw that it was Wang Chengen, he was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes again, and let out a long breath: "Wait a minute, princess, I'll change my clothes." ”

Wang Chengen said: "Does Master Sun know my intention? ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Yang Sichang is dead, and now the thief is huge, it's time for me to go out of the mountain......"

Half an hour later, Sun Chuanting, who was dressed in civilian clothes, stood in front of Chongzhen's eyes, and he kowtowed upward: "Sinner Sun Chuanting, see Your Majesty, may my lord live long live, long live, long live." ”

Chongzhen ordered him to be flat, without any cold and politeness, and asked directly: "I heard that you are in prison, looking at the map all day long, and tell me, how should the current situation be cleaned up?" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "With all due respect, as soon as Yang Sichang died, the encirclement and suppression strategy he proposed of four positives, six corners and ten sides of the net has failed. Li Zicheng recruited more than 100,000 horses, first captured Luoyang, his prestige was greatly enhanced, and all the assets in the city were all for him. Henan is my Ming henchman, once lost, the thieves can block my Shanxi, Shandong all over the army of King Qin, Beijing will not be guaranteed. ”

Chongzhen nodded: "That's right, I'm so worried. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Although there are many thieves, most of them are newly recruited troops and rabble, so as long as there is an elite army, the enemy will be defeated." Kaifeng city high wall thick, grain and grass sufficient, many defenders, and the city of the Zhou king Zhu Gongfang is well aware of the righteousness, widely won the hearts of the people, and the guard general Chen Yongfu is a famous general in Henan, Henan patrol according to the high name of Heng, Kaifeng prefect Wu Shi said, are capable officials, so it is estimated that Kaifeng does not need foreign aid, at least can hold on for a year. If the thief thinks that Kaifeng is as easy to fight as Luoyang, he will suffer a big loss. ”

Chongzhen had a happy look at this time: "Aiqing's words are deeply comforting. ”

Sun Chuanting cleared his voice and continued: "Fu Zonglong is also a loyal man, as long as he can drag the thief under Kaifeng City, as long as the time goes by, the thief will be broken. From the perspective of Weichen, the thief is the banner leader of the anti-thieves from all walks of life, as long as the thief can be destroyed, as for Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Ge Zuo Fifth Battalion, etc., there is no need to worry. ”

Chongzhen nodded again and again in appreciation: "Qing is still worried about the world in prison, which shows the sun and moon of loyalty." I made a mistake and sent you to prison, if not, I would have been a thief for a long time. ”

Sun Chuanting kowtowed upward: "Your Majesty is gracious, and Weichen has nothing to repay." It's just that what Weichen is worried about is not all on the thief. ”

Chongzhen was stunned: "Is there anything more worrying than the thieves?" ”

Sun Chuanting nodded: "That's the Qin thief in Guanzhong." ”

Chongzhen knew that since Sun Chuanting led the army to fight, he didn't know why, he had always regarded the Qin army in Guanzhong as a big trouble. However, the Qin army has been making trouble until now, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 horses under his command, although they occupy Xi'an and Tongguan, but Guanzhong has been hit by natural disasters, the people are scarce, and the food is insufficient, so what is there to worry about?

He asked this, and Sun Chuanting said: "What Weichen is worried about is not the number of Qin soldiers and horses, but the ambition of this Qin army, which is different from all the thieves. ”

Chongzhen said: "What's the difference? ”

Sun Chuanting replied: "Since the appearance of the Qin army, it is different from the thieves, the thieves are generally hungry, gather in one place, where there is food, property, where they fight, after capturing the town, burn and loot, and then roar away. Such thieves are just a rabble, and as soon as they encounter the powerful encirclement and suppression of the official army, they will be dispersed. The thieves are not strong, first of all, they have no fixed goals, let alone lofty rewards, just to survive and beg for a full meal. But the Qin army is different, as soon as they appeared, they occupied Huayin, and then occupied Xi'an, and if they occupied it, they would not leave, and they were still in Guanzhong to build kindness and open a position to help the people. Attract displaced people to return. Such an ambition is clearly to tear the soil and seal the territory. What the minister is worried about is that at this time, the hearts of the people in Guanzhong are no longer in our court, but in Qin thieves. ”

Chongzhen said: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, but at this time, the court can't draw people to encircle and suppress, not to mention that Tongguan is still in the hands of the Qin army, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "For the Qin army, the court should attach great importance to it, and now that it is unable to encircle and suppress, it can use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, and can order Wei Baichuan, the general of the Jingbian guard, to send a small force of men and horses to continuously harass Guanzhong, so that it cannot live in peace." And our officers and troops can concentrate their forces, first break the thieves, then break the left five battalions, solve the crisis of the Central Plains, and finally clean up the Qin army, and the world can be safe. ”

Chongzhen said: "So...... What about Zhang Xianzhong? ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The nemesis of Zhang Xianzhong's life is Zuo Liangyu, Zuo Liangyu and Yang Sichang are at odds, Yang Sichang is dead at this time, so Zuo Liangyu can be single-mindedly encircled and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong." Even if Zhang Xianzhong can't be killed, it will inevitably break the crowd and make it unable to grow. ”

Chongzhen nodded: "Okay, Zuo Liangyu even broke Zhang Xianzhong, it is said that Zhang Xianzhong's men and horses heard Zuo Liangyu, and their souls were terrified, I can give Zuo Liangyu an order, promote him to General Pingxi, and deal with Zhang Xianzhong single-handedly." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "This is the best. The strategy of our official army was to attack and harass Guanzhong, so that the Qin army could not develop in peace, and attacked the Zhangluo coalition army, so that it could not enter the Central Plains and join Li Chuang. On the side of the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, let Cheng Baixiong stick to Xuzhou and wait for reinforcements. Finally, concentrate all your efforts to break the thieves under the Kaifeng City. As long as the thief is destroyed, the momentum of the world will be like a sharp knife breaking through the bamboo, breaking the head, and the following will be opened. ”

Chongzhen was overjoyed, and stroked Sun Chuanting's back: "Qing is really a good handsome in the world, now the situation is urgent, and there can be no delay, I have ordered you to be the governor of the six provinces, in charge of Shandong, Henan, Huguang, Guanzhong, Anhui, and Sichuan." All the officers and soldiers of these six provinces, as well as the officials of the famous places, shall be under your control. ”

Sun Chuanting knelt down and thanked him and immediately took office.

Sun Chuanting's appearance has attracted attention from three aspects.
