The court is not easy, and the Son of Heaven is not easy!

I want to take care of Sichuan and Shaanxi at the beginning, there is no soldier or general around me, in such a difficult situation, His Majesty can only take out 60,000 silver taels saved from nowhere to give himself, the embarrassment of the imperial court, it can be seen!

Now it is suddenly necessary to come up with food and wages for 500,000 horses, and no matter who thinks about it, it is a big head.

However, although it was difficult, Sun Chuanting thought to himself that if he was in charge and His Majesty endorsed him, he would have his own way to solve it.

Isn't it just looting from the hands of rich businessmen and gentry, it's not like he hasn't done it all these years.

Otherwise, how could he use 60,000 taels of silver to raise 40,000 Qin soldiers for as long as two years?

It's just that the scope of looting is wider, the food and salary raised are more, and the infamy is more bearable.

At this point, Hong Chengchou, who is as famous as him and known as the butcher of Hong, and Lu Xiangsheng, the king of Lu Yan, cannot be as pure as him.

Because, they care about fame.

However, for the long-term stability of the Daming Society, and for the needs of the country, although he Sun Chuanting has tens of millions of people!

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting straightened his spine, and his resolute face was quite complacent.

This body promises the country, and there are no regrets!

It's just that when he thought of the question of the commander of the whole army, Sun Chuanting's chest straightened up and shrank unconsciously.

If there is a way to solve the problem of rations, but the commander of the whole army is not so easy.

Speaking of which, Daming is qualified to take command at this stage, but it is less than a slap.

Don't mention the princes and princes in the capital, none of them have become talented.

Yang Sichang, the highest-ranking Yang Benbing, has a good theoretical level, and he is one set at a time, but he lacks experience in leading soldiers and is difficult to convince the public.

There is also Wu Aheng, the governor of Jiliao, who has been killed in battle, the dead are the greatest, so don't talk about him.

Among the remaining marshals, only himself, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng are qualified and capable of going to command.

However, being able to be qualified is a question, and whether or not you can command the whole army is another issue.

The border army, the Beijing army, the Tianxiong army, the Qin soldiers, the white pole soldiers, the Guanning iron cavalry, and the armies led by the governors of the provinces......

Among them, the army is full of mountains, many factions, and geographical groups, if the three of them want to dominate the whole army in a short period of time, no one has the ability to do it?

Even if there is a Shang Fang sword, so what?

Unless......?

Sun Chuanting laughed at himself, his ideas were too crazy and whimsical.

"Fu Shuai, report from the front, the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, arrived in Tongguan in half an hour."

Sun Chuanting was thinking about it, and his own soldiers shouted outside the account, interrupting his conjecture.

"Out of the city to greet you!"

Hong Chengchou's official rank is half a level higher than Sun Chuanting, although he has no subordinate relationship, he can be regarded as his superior leader, so Sun Chuanting does not dare to slack off.

Besides, after more than two years of fighting side by side, the two sides also have a certain degree of comradeship.

Approaching dusk, the closed city gate was wide open, Sun Chuanting wore a red python robe, an official hat, and a jade belt around his waist, leading dozens of generals and colonels, under the escort of his own soldiers, out of the city gate.

Wen left and right, according to the size of the grade, divided into two sides of the city gate.

Soon, the crown prince Taibao hung the military department and the title of the right capital imperial history, and the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, arrived at the gate of the city under the escort of 3,000 iron horsemen.

"Hahaha......"

Seeing the team in front of him from a distance, Hong Chengchou took the lead in dismounting, put aside the reins, smiled before speaking, and raised his hands high, as if he was extremely happy.

It's his signature move.

Hong Chengchou is known as the butcher of Hong in the rebels, because he is very murderous.

He generally does not surrender, but directly kills prisoners, and even arsonists kill good and meritorious deeds.

But among his colleagues, he is basically gentle and elegant and greets him with a smile, and is known as the smiling tiger.

It is precisely because Hong Chengchou is good at dancing with long sleeves and is good at human feelings and sophistication that he is very popular in the Ming officialdom.

"Lao Boya went out of the city to greet him, Heng Jiu was ashamed!"

Walking forward quickly, Hong Chengchou was full of smiles, holding Sun Chuanting's hands, and looking up and down at Sun Chuanting, who had seen a slight reduction.

"Where, Hong Du has worked hard all the way to wear the stars and the moon, how can Boya not fulfill the friendship of the landlord?"

Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou intersected their arms, and they were very enthusiastic.

After some greetings, under the afterglow of twilight smoke, the army entered Tongguan City.

When he arrived at the governor's yamen, Sun Chuanting dismissed the civil and military generals on the left and right, and led Hong Chengchou to the signing room for a private chat.

"Hong Du Ke also received an order from King Qin?"

After the two sides sat down to greet each other, Sun Chuanting asked.

"yes!"

Hong Chengchou nodded, his body twisted a few times against the Taishi chair, he had been on horseback for a day, and his old waist was a little unbearable.

"It's a pity that the tiger has returned to the mountain. At this moment, the withdrawal of troops, all the past arrangements are nullified, the food spent, the sacrificed soldiers, everything is wasted. ”

Hearing with his own ears that Hong Chengchou's subordinates were also going to enter King Qin, Sun Chuanting's disappointment was beyond words.

In his opinion, even if the court wants King Qin, it is not necessary to transfer them all.

"Hengjiu is also very strange."

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou sat precariously with a serious expression and doubts in his eyes, "Lu Jiandou is in Xuanda, and it is only a few days away from Gyeonggi, why does Your Majesty summon us to travel two thousand miles into Beijing?"

Moreover, the imperial court spends a lot of money every year to raise more than 100,000 Jingying, although those wastes can't fight in the field, it is still more than enough to protect the important land of Gyeonggi.

If Heng Jiu is not bad, the imperial court may have a big move. ”

I have to say that Hong Chengchou's sense of smell is very sensitive.

For the sake of secrecy, Emperor Chongzhen's edict did not say much, but strictly ordered Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to enter Beijing immediately.

Such harsh wording is very rare, and it also means that there is no room for bargaining between the two and must be carried out immediately.

"Hey!"

After Hong Chengchou's reminder, Sun Chuanting was slightly stunned, smashed his fists with both hands, and the whole person was immediately in a state of excitement.

Indeed, it can only be explained in this way.

His Majesty may have summoned three border commanders at once and vowed to fight the Tartars to the death.

Otherwise, there is no need to do so!

Seeing that Sun Chuanting was very emotional, Hong Chengchou said, "Boya is calm, this is just the words of Heng Jiu's family, how it is, we will know after entering Beijing."

But anyway, Your Majesty asked us to leave everything behind and rush to the capital at this time, the military order is like a mountain, you and I have to obey! ”

Hong Chengchou has always been politically correct and respects the emperor's order, and he will never have his own ideas like Sun Chuanting.

And this is also the reason why he has risen steadily in the officialdom and rose step by step.

Of course, it must be objectively said that although the life of this future traitor is debatable, his personal ability is absolutely leveraged.

Instead of relying on the whiskers and slapping the horse, sit in the position of the governor of the three sides.

PS: Weak votes, is there any......
