In fact, the three divisions of the vassal king's guards were included in the Caoyun army system, and there was a precedent at this time.

Until the rebellion of the Ning Fan was put down by Wang Shouren, Wuzong did not know where the soldiers and horses of King Ning's rebellion came from.

Now, although the official does not allow the vassal king to have a guard, there are already a lot of vassal kings who have a guard, so naturally they all spend money to clear the way.

Without the factory guard, as long as Chongzhen is not allowed to know, Chongzhen will really be kept in the dark.

Due to the general shortage of Caoyun troops in various places, the three divisions of the vassal king's guard, by the end of Chongzhen, have become an important part of the Caoyun Guard's army, and have been included in the Caoyun system for a long time.

For example, the Xuzhou Left Guard, Dongchang Wei, Ren Chengwei, Bao Tao Left Guard, and Dragon and Tiger Left Guard, who undertook the task of Cao Yun, had a close relationship with the three divisions of the vassal king's guard.

Zhu Youhua is not the first in this matter, and it will not be the last, and the vassal palaces involved in spending money to restore the three divisions include the palace of the king of Chu, the palace of the king of Shu and the palace of the king of Lu.

In the process of being transferred to the Cao Yun Guard, the Lu Guards, and the Chu Guards and the Shu Guards, presented a different model and command relationship, that is, they were equivalent to the two newly established armies.

To put it bluntly, almost all of the government and the opposition know these things, only Chongzhen, who is the emperor, is kept in the dark, and without the report of the factory guard, he will become blind.

......

In the past two days, the news that General Sun Chuanting, the military governor of the seven provinces, has arrived in Tongguan has spread all over the streets and alleys.

The small and dangerous Tongguan City, where a large army gathered, came to support the suppression of soldiers and horses.

The generals rushed to come here, and soldiers and horses continued to enter, which made Tongguan appear more strict than before.

There is no north gate in Tongguan, only the east gate, the west gate, the south gate and the upper south gate, since Sun Chuanting's Qin army opened to Tongguan, the whole city has changed its appearance as a whole.

The officers and soldiers who used to be hung up are gone, and in their place are the well-guarded, well-dressed generals and their families.

Sun Chuanting's people have not yet arrived, and the decree has already arrived first.

In addition to the original defenders of the city, Sun Chuanting sent more than 1,000 soldiers of the Qin army under the command of a thousand generals of the Qin army at each city gate to guard day and night and strictly check the entry and exit.

Outside the city, all strategic places, such as Tongluochuan and Jinpenpo, were also filled with reinforcements and horses who arrived in advance.

Not only were every house in the city occupied by officers and soldiers and used as camps, but even outside the village was a collection of tents and herds of war horses.

The people clearly heard that as soon as the officials and soldiers arrived at night, the drums and horns were raised, the people shouted and the horses were neighing, and the people were all huddled at home to talk to each other, and no one knew how many officers and soldiers the new Shaanxi governor had brought.

In the past two days, it has been rumored in the Tongguan area that the new Shaanxi governor has left Jiangzhou, but no one knows where he went, and when Sun Chuanting came, even the local officials and gentry were completely in the dark.

Among the crowd, only the former Shaanxi Governor Wang Qiaonian knew in advance.

Wang Qiao's annual meeting knew in advance that this was also related to Chongzhen's temporary decision.

Emperor Chongzhen, who originally planned to "order Chuanting to kill Qiao Nian to deter the three armies", only later learned that Sun Chuanting and Wang Qiaonian were originally close friends, so he temporarily changed his mind and ordered that Wang Qiaonian, the former governor of Shaanxi, be demoted to Tongguan Soldier and Prepare Dao, and make meritorious contributions.

In fact, this is not that Emperor Chongzhen is sympathetic to talents, but simply because he is afraid that Sun Chuanting will become the next Zuo Liangyu and does not obey the orders of the imperial court.

Chongzhen was not at ease with Sun Chuanting.

In fact, except for the personal eunuch Wang Chengen and Empress Zhou, he was completely uneasy about everyone else, including Zhu Youhua, who was privately forming an army in Nanyang.

Emperor Chongzhen entrusted all the military affairs of the seven provinces to Sun Chuanting, which was a helpless move, and he was afraid that the latter would follow Zuo Liangyu and not obey the order.

Therefore, Chongzhen's order was changed, he slapped his mouth, and ordered Wang Qiaonian to make meritorious service, and there was also the threat that if you Sun Chuanting committed a crime, I would kill Wang Qiaonian.

Before Chongzhen secretly ordered Sun Chuanting to kill Wang Qiaonian, this time there was a clear decree to send Wang Qiaonian to the army.

If Chongzhen had made a holy decree to kill Wang Qiaonian before, no matter how much he regretted it, he would never change his mind, which was caused by his somewhat deformed self-esteem as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the cover of the clear decree, the emperor can continue to sit on the dragon chair in a grand manner, forget the secret order he gave to Sun Chuanting before, and preserve what little dignity he has left.

Although Wang Qiaonian, who had been demoted to Tongguan Soldier Guard, had expected it, he still couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and he didn't know that he had picked up a life because of Sun Chuanting.

Before Sun Chuanting came, he asked him to vacate the lobby of the Daotai Yamen and the signing room for emergency use.

In the face of this old friend's order, Wang Qiaonian did not dare to slack off, and after arranging the affairs, he quickly changed into a four-grade civil official uniform and rode out of the west gate of Tongguan.

After walking four or five miles, they met several general soldiers stationed in various places in Tongluochuan and Jinpenpo, and after everyone saw each other, they rushed to Shilipo together and dismounted to welcome the new governor.

Looking at more and more people coming out to welcome the civil and military, Wang Qiaonian in the crowd was a little embarrassed, when he came to serve as a doorman, it was the opposite of this time.

This also confirms that Sun Chuanting is indeed outstanding.

Sun Chuanting arrived at Tongguan at dusk, and when he came, he was different from Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian, he did not rely on deacons and gongs and drums to open the way, nor did he sit in a sedan chair, but wore red civilian clothes.

He rode a tall horse, wore a Shangfang sword at his waist, and was sandwiched between a large number of staff members and officials of the Governor's Mansion sent by the imperial court, and suddenly arrived surrounded by countless Qin army soldiers behind him.

Sun Chuanting's behavior in this way has already made it clear that he will put red tape behind him and completely conquer and pacify the thieves by force.

Wang Qiaonian led all the civil and military officials, on the left and on the right, according to the size of the grade and the rank of the official, lined up on both sides of the official road to greet them.

Seeing that Sun Chuanting was all there, Wang Qiaonian stepped forward to salute, Sun Chuanting also smiled and nodded, said a few words of comfort, and then continued to hurry with the group.

Sun Chuanting was born in Jinshi, he was very young when he ascended to the top, and since then he has been in the green and smooth sailing, and he became the governor of Shaanxi and the three sides a few years ago, and he was even more powerful after pacifying Gao Yingxiang.

Until this year, Sun Chuanting was actually in his early fifties, and his healthy face was dyed a little dusty after many years of riding horses, but he always maintained a neat and gentle demeanor.

The more weathered he is, the more Sun Chuanting grinds off the edges and corners, hides his true thoughts deeply, becomes calm when encountering things, and his every move is far-sighted.

It is precisely because of these characteristics that many generals in front of them who are not interested in Wang Qiaonian and Fu Zonglong at all are willing to serve under Sun Chuanting.

When the group arrived at the Daotai Yamen, Sun Chuanting went to the packed signing room to rest for a while, and then summoned several general soldiers and deputy generals respectively.

Sun Chuanting only asked about the military situation in Xi'an, and ordered the deputy generals and staff generals to stay, and the generals with the rest of the general army should pay a return visit immediately, so as not to take advantage of the thieves.

Afterwards, Sun Chuanting called Wang Qiaonian into the signing room, and said with a smile: "Brother Suixing, you have been the governor of Shaanxi for several months, but what do you know about the thieves. ”

"In addition to the Liukou, the governor has another matter to ask you, which is related to Zhu Youhua."
