Chapter Seventy-Four: The Governor of the Seven Provinces of War

"What do you have to say about the Shaanxi war situation?"

On the platform behind the Imperial Palace, Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair, looked at Sun Chuanting, who was brought up by Wang Chengen below, and asked lightly.

Sun Chuanting first shouted long live, and then said coldly: "Li Hongji and Zhang Xianzhong, but they are just grass for a while, and as for Yuan Shizhong, they are not even as good as grass kou." ”

"The battle situation in Shaanxi seems to be erosive, but in fact, it only needs to fight the snake for seven inches, and it can be effective."

"How confident are you?" Emperor Chongzhen was amazed.

This is also when there is really nothing to be done, so he will let go of his subordinates and release Sun Chuanting, who was imprisoned in the decree back then.

It seems that this time it is the right person, this Sun Chuanting is so confident, he has a good record in the past, and the thief should not be a problem.

"If the emperor gives me 2,000 elite soldiers, it will be decided." Sun Chuanting said in a sullen voice: "The emperor can rest assured, the rogues are just a rabble, so don't worry!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and said hatefully: "If Ding Qirui, Fu Zonglong, and Wang Qiaonian had the slightest ability from you, I would not be today!" ”

What Emperor Chongzhen said is that the current three governors of Shaanxi, Wang Qiaonian is still in office, Fu Zonglong is dead, listening to this meaning, Wang Qiaonian should have been beaten into the cold palace.

"Your Majesty, how have Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian been in office since they took office?" Sun Chuanting suddenly asked.

In fact, he was a little surprised, it was normal for Ding Qirui to have no political achievements, because that thing was originally a nominal person.

But Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian are not like this, in Sun Chuanting's impression, these two are capable ministers, and the three of them have also gathered together to discuss the strategy of suppressing thieves.

Wang Qiaonian is the governor of the three sides but has no political achievements, there must be some reason for this, according to Sun Chuanting's knowledge, Wang Qiaonian's ability is not a little stronger than that Li Hongji!

"Huh!"

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Emperor Chongzhen was angry, and said with his sleeves brushed up: "What do you still say, that Fu Zonglong asked me for soldiers and food, but in the end he was defeated by thieves in Shexian County, and I have high hopes!" ”

"As for Wang Qiaonian, he is not as good as Fu Zonglong, since he took office, he has been shrinking in Tongguan, and the thieves are approaching Xi'an, but he has done nothing, and he is afraid of the thief's pen war!"

"I have repeatedly urged him to get out of the customs, Wang Qiaonian has repeatedly delayed, and he has made all kinds of excuses, what is the use of keeping such a mediocre and incompetent person!"

"This..."Sun Chuanting wanted to speak and stopped.

Wang Qiaonian and Fu Zonglong are close friends with him, both of them have real talents and hard work, and it is even more impossible to avoid war for thieves.

He originally wanted to defend the two, but after being imprisoned for many years, Sun Chuanting is no longer as impulsive as he was at the beginning, after all, if you say too much, you will lose.

After thinking about it, he still couldn't kneel and didn't say a word.

"I will remove Wang Qiaonian from his position as the governor of the three sides, give you 3,000 Beijing soldiers, Shang Fang Sword, and make you the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, and after you take office, you will behead Wang Qiaonian on the spot!"

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting's eyes widened and he didn't move for a long time.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "What, do you have anything else to say?" ”

After a while, Sun Chuanting got up and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Sun Chuanting was released from prison, and when he walked out of the palace, he looked at the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, and for a while, he was moved.

He had imagined such a moment countless times in prison, but he did not expect that before he showed his strength, he would ask two best friends for life to give him his life.

Holy destiny is like a mountain!

The emperor wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, which is the duty of the ministers!

Even if Wang Qiaonian is his best friend, but he has done nothing in office and has failed the emperor's high expectations, then he should be beheaded!

The thieves want to destroy this great river and mountain with Jianyu and make the people of Li fall into misery, which is simply a fool's dream!

As long as my Sun Chuanting is in one day, the ambitions of Liukou and Jianyu will not succeed!

With the determination to completely exterminate Li Zicheng, Sun Chuanting rode out of Tianmen, passed through Gulou Street in Jingshi, and went straight to Shaanxi to take up his post in the eyes of the people full of hope.

......

At the beginning of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen released Sun Chuanting in prison, worshiped as the governor of Shaanxi Trilateral, added the title of secretary of the military department, supervised the military affairs of the seven provinces, gave Shang Fang the sword, and led the troops to suppress Li Hongji, Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Sun Chuanting was actually just a "military affairs of the seven provinces", which was passed around and spread by the people, and soon he had a more powerful title than the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi, called the governor of the seven provinces.

The news that Emperor Chongzhen had specially appointed seven governors for Sun Chuanting spread throughout Gyeonggi and Shaanxi.

The officials and soldiers who heard it were all overjoyed, and the thieves who heard it were all shocked, Sun Boya was released from prison, and for them, it was as if the end had come.

After Sun Chuanting left Beijing, he did not go directly to Shaanxi to take office, he first went to Shexian County, Zhangde Prefecture, Henan, and looked at his old friends who died in the war.

Compared with Wang Qiaonian, Fu Zonglong still got a good ending.

In any case, he did his duty as the governor of the three sides, and he died on the battlefield if he failed to suppress the thieves, and he was a martyr who died for his family and country.

But Wang Qiaonian is different, since he became the governor of Shaanxi, this kid has no political achievements at all, and what he does all day long is to change the law and shirk the official document of the military department.

Although Emperor Chongzhen was dissatisfied with Fu Zonglong, he also knew that he was dutiful and died in battle, and Wang Qiaonian would be difficult.

Emperor Chongzhen asked Sun Chuanting to do this, in fact, he also wanted him to reap a wave of prestige at the beginning of his tenure, and he also cut down this inactive governor by the way.

But Chongzhen didn't know that at this moment, no matter who sat in Wang Qiaonian's seat, he would become a corpse vegetarian.

Because the situation in Shaanxi is already quite critical at present, the officials and troops have almost lost their dominance, and there is no one who is capable of turning the tide just by having the ability of a governor.

After leaving Shexian, Sun Chuanting went to Jiangzhou.

After arriving in Jiangzhou, Sun Chuanting stopped and began to recruit troops with the banner of the governor of Shaanxi.

Soon, it had a scale of nearly 20,000 people.

......

The various departments of the camp that were gathering in Baishui County, Shaanxi, attached great importance to Sun Chuanting's release from prison.

Li Zicheng has suffered Sun Chuanting's losses more than once, and his uncle Gao Yingxiang, the former king of the king, was exterminated by Sun Chuanting, and the entire rebel army in Henan was almost pacified by Sun Chuanting and Chen Qiyu.

Sun Chuanting's release from prison, for them, is tantamount to Chongzhen playing the last trump card, this trump card made all the rogues tremble.

Sun Chuanting's movements, the rogues have always been particularly concerned, it is said that after he arrived in Jiangzhou, he did not move forward and began to recruit troops.

At most, the old troops of the Qin army were recruited, and when Li Zicheng heard about it, he showed a panicked look for the first time.

The Qin army belonged to one of the official armies, and was essentially the same as the He Battalion, Zuo Battalion, and White Pole Army, and was a private soldier trained by Sun Chuanting under the conscription system, but was extremely loyal to the imperial court.

The firearms of the Qin army are extremely sharp, famous all over the world, and it is their car formation that relies on the victory of the enemy.

Due to Sun Chuanting's imminent appointment, the remnants of the officers and troops in Shaanxi, who did not listen to Wang Qiaonian's orders, are now ready to move.

Zheng Jiadong, the general soldier of Guyuan, led his troops to Luochuan, and was still advancing at the moment, while Niu Chenghu, the general soldier of Lintao, rushed to be stationed in Puzhou, in order to prevent the dogs from jumping over the wall and posing a threat to Tongguan first.

As for He Ying, Zhou Guoqing's first department drove into Tongzhou with great fanfare under the order of He Renlong, and the officials and troops of Niu Chenghu's department formed a rivalry.

The actions of the officers and troops of the various ministries were as discussed in advance, and before Sun Chuanting took office, they were approaching the Tongguan area one after another, which also made the activities of the various tributaries more and more difficult.

This Sun Chuanting, before he arrived, had already mobilized the officials and troops on the three sides of Shaanxi to attack the Liukou, which shows his prestige and status in the official army.

In view of this, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Yuan Shizhong immediately decided to change their strategy after discussion.

Before Sun Chuanting came, Li Zicheng stayed in Baishui with Yuan Shizhong's small Yuan battalion to intercept the headquarters of Zheng Jiadong, the general army of Guyuan who was heading south from Luochuan, and he called on the rest of the rebel army to move closer to the southwest and make every effort to take Xi'an.
