During the period when people summoned Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, and Cao Huachun into the palace, Chongzhen has been discussing these related matters with Xu Guangqi and other ministers of the Ministry of Industry about these related matters of warships and gun factories.

"Ministers Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Cao Huachun see the emperor" These three people are all important people who sit in Beijing all the year round, and they will not go out easily if they don't ask for the holy decree, and they immediately rushed over after receiving Chongzhen's edict.

"A few Aiqing are safe, someone came to send a few of my guests back to the guild hall to rest, John, you go back and prepare first, after a while, I will let people start building the sailor port and gun factory, and then it will be time for you to show your value" The next few things are related to imperial secrets, which is not something that this group of people can know.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, please rest assured, my people are definitely the best," After speaking, he took his own people to perform Western etiquette and left the palace under the leadership of the little eunuch in the main hall.

"Several Aiqing still remember the last time a little eunuch watched the incident, this is the information that Gao Qiqian confessed before his death and I asked people to find out secretly, let's take a look" After speaking, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to hand over the information on the dragon case to several important ministers.

Sun Chengzong looked at the information in his hand, and said with some trembling, "The situation has reached such a serious point, Jin merchants, eunuchs, eunuchs, prison guards, border generals, and so many businessmen and officials at all levels, the situation is so erosive, if you don't handle it well, most of the north of the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos" Hearing Sun Chengzong's statement, Sun Chuanting, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and others were shocked.

"Not only these, since the last sacrifice ceremony, the rebel peasant army in Shaanxi has expanded again, originally Shaanxi was only Wang Jiayin, Yang Liu, not mud and other small peasant uprisings, but after the sacrifice ceremony, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others have revolted, thousands of officers and border soldiers, due to lack of pay mutiny, joined the righteous army, and became the backbone. Now there are more than 100 rebel armies in Shaanxi, a total of more than 200,000, which has become a big trend, as for why the power of the rebel army has suddenly increased, it is estimated that some people don't want to see me continue to be the co-lord of the world" Originally, there was Yang He to suppress bandits in history, but after Chongzhen came, Yang He was first instructed by Chongzhen to Cao Huachun to be imprisoned, and then he was thrown to the Hanlin Courtyard by Chongzhen, and the military affairs in Shaanxi were completely delayed, until he initially stabilized the chaos in the court after the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky. He was appointed as the governor of Yansui Hong Chengchou Governor of Shaanxi, but Hong Chengchou had just taken office, and he was powerless in the face of the rebel army supported by the major families and businessmen in the dark.

"Your Majesty, the border army is short of pay and rebellion, this matter must be related to the generals at all levels deducting silver" Although the imperial court is short of pay silver, it is not that it is not not paid, but the silver is less, and it is not enough to force the rebels, it must be that the corruption of officials at all levels is too much, and even a penny is not distributed to the hands of the low-level soldiers, so that it will be the current situation.

"I already know about this matter, but now the situation in Shaanxi is no longer a governor can be solved, more than 200,000 rebels, once they leave Shaanxi, will inevitably affect northern Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Shanxi and other places, these places basically summarize most of the north of the Ming Dynasty, in recent years, there have been natural disasters, once the situation is out of control, the entire northern part of the empire will be a rotten situation before the natural disasters have passed, so before the situation becomes more out of control, we must completely clean up these rebels, For the local officials in the areas that have suffered from natural disasters, it is necessary to conduct assessments, eliminate those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and must put an end to the situation of officials forcing the people to rebel: "Natural disasters are not terrible, as long as they follow their previous work for relief, summon hooligans to build post stations, and reduce taxes on official roads, they can still solve it, but no matter how good their policies are, they are afraid that officials at all levels below will not do personnel, eat and take cards, and finally become an official forcing the people to rebel into the situation."

"The emperor wants to exterminate the rebels, but also to deal with a large number of local officials and border generals, in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, but also ask the emperor to reissue the salary of the border troops in various places, only in this way can we ensure that in the next action, the border army will not be led by those border generals to rebel, as long as the border army does not have problems, the situation is still under control" Sun Chengzong stepped forward to Chongzhen and began to ask for money.

"It's okay to reissue the salary, but I don't want to see the situation of empty pay and drifting, this time I will ask the celebrant to send a new eunuch to carry the silver taels, and all the repaid salary and silver will be distributed directly to the soldiers in the barracks" For the drifting Chongzhen, he hated it deeply, you must know that the drifting of those officials was their own money.

"Your Majesty, if you want to exterminate the 200,000 peasant army, and the local border army is unreliable, you must mobilize the troops of other places to suppress the bandits, this time the situation is complicated, not only to suppress the uprising, but also to prevent the border army from rebelling, in order to be foolproof, the strength of the expedition is indispensable" For leading the troops to go on the expedition, Sun Chuanting is confident that in this court, no one is more suitable than himself, watching Qin Liangyu sit in the three customs with more than 100,000 troops, Lu Xiangsheng takes over Jiangdong Town, and holds the only water division in the Ming Dynasty, for Sun Chuanting, who has been sitting in the Beijing Division, guarding the border passes, crisscrossing the battlefield, that is the life you want.

"If you let Aiqing lead the troops, how many soldiers and horses will take how long it takes, and you can suppress the rebellion in Shaanxi" Now in the Ming Dynasty, the handsome generals who have the ability to command large-scale battles alone, at present, there are only Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu, Lu Xiangsheng and the like, and the rest of the Mangui, Zhao Shujiao and the like are a little worse, but the generals are not enough to deal with the complex situation in Shaanxi, Qin Liangyu and Lu Xiangsheng must guard against Huang Taiji, and must not move lightly, Sun Chengzong has other arrangements, and only Sun Chuanting can be used at present.

"Back to the emperor, it takes at least 100,000 horses to fight for 2 years," Sun Chuanting said confidently to Chongzhen.

"Sun Aiqing, how many people does the capital need to ensure that the Beijing division is safe" Now Chongzhen can mobilize and have the ability to suppress the bandits' army, only the capital, Jinning defense line, Jiangdong Town, the soldiers and horses of the three places, Qin Liangyu of the Jinning defense line has 180,000 troops, Lu Xiangsheng of Jiangdong Town lost more than 10,000 people last time, and now there are only 80,000 soldiers and horses left, the troops of these two places can not be moved, and at present, they can only be transferred to guard the Beijing division, and now the Beijing division plus 20,000 Tengxiang Siwei has a total of 200,000 troops, It's just that these 200,000 horses not only have to guard the Jingshi, but also have some other plans that need to be sent abroad, and it is impossible to bring them all out to Sun Chuanting to suppress the bandits.

"Back to the emperor, there are old ministers guarding the Beijing Division, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses enough to face any situation," Sun Chengzong stepped forward and said.

"No, this time I plan to send officials to assess all the officials in Shaanxi, northern Shaanxi, Henan, Hubei, Sichuan, Shanxi and other places in the north of the Ming Dynasty who have suffered natural disasters, and at the same time will send a large number of small eunuchs who are celebrants to follow Aiqing to replace the local town guards and eunuchs and build troops in various places, for the safety of Aiqing (Sun Chengzong) and his party, I will send 20,000 soldiers and horses to accompany them in case of accidents, and at the same time, the group of scholars recruited by Enke should also play a role, take them, and let them go to the local government The first thing is to check the accounts, Count the treasury silver," Chongzhen paused and continued.

At the same time, an announcement was issued that for borrowing money and grain to fill the account, all the borrowed money and grain were confiscated, and unqualified officials were found, Aiqing could be dismissed, two claims, and three raids, and after the dismissal, the scholars he carried directly took office as local officials, and committed suicide in fear of crime because of corruption, bribery, and shortage, and found their children and families to settle accounts. If there are those who are not convinced, Aiqing can cut it first and then play "For those chaotic corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty, it is ineffective not to be ruthless, and the general small fights are like scratching the itch in the boots, which has no effect."
