Carrying the court meeting, Ran Yuhong's political rights were determined, the ruling institutions of the Shu Wangfu were improved, the accelerated expansion of Wangzhuang and the Huzhuang team was announced, and the curtain was opened on Zhu Pingjin's strategic adjustment of Sichuan.

As soon as the curtain is lifted, many exciting new events behind it are exposed to the audience. They showed people an unprecedented vividness, which immediately stirred up the turmoil in Sichuan's political and business circles.

In Chengdu at the beginning of October, the season is close to cold dew. The north wind blew across the desolate and barren Loess Plateau and over the tall and majestic Ba Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, making people in the Sichuan Basin feel a chill in the air.

In the back hall of the governor's yamen, Liao Daheng, the governor of Sichuan, Liu Zhibo, the governor of Sichuan, and Chen Qichi, the political adviser of the feudal department, were eating tea and discussing matters. These three people are the core decision-making collective of Sichuan officialdom.

Since receiving the holy decree, Liao Daheng, the governor with military power, has been busy planning an attack on Bazhou these days. Liao Daheng issued an order to the main and guest armies scattered throughout northern Sichuan, asking them to make all preparations and start a joint attack on Bazhou no later than early December.

Of course, Liao Daheng, who was old in military affairs, knew that as soon as he issued these orders, the generals of the army would soon reply to the letter, the content of which was nothing more than asking for food, grass, ordnance, and horses, and there would be a large paragraph of words expressing merit and complaining about hardship. If he can't respond appropriately to the demands of the generals, then the attack on Bazhou at the end of this year will be the same as the outcome of many previous military operations of the Ming Dynasty.

Bazhou can't be recovered on time, once the imperial court is held accountable, those generals have no responsibility at all, and all the responsibilities are all for these civil officials of the three divisions, especially Liao Daheng himself. Because these army generals will defend themselves, it is not that they do not want to be loyal to the imperial court, but that the civil officials of Sichuan deliberately delayed their ordnance, food, grass and military salaries, which made the soldiers angry and the army had no heart to fight! These reasons are not only sufficient, but also largely true. The imperial court's arrears to the armies of northern Sichuan have been for more than ten years, or even more than 20 years, from a short few years to a long one, all the way back to the Apocalypse Dynasty!

It's not that the feudal division has no food. The recruited battalion soldiers had no land, and if they were not paid, they would starve to death or mutiny. Therefore, the feudal division could only try to make up everything and give a little life-saving food to the soldiers. As for the salary, clothing, and armaments, they can be issued as soon as they can be issued, and they can be delayed as long as they can. But this is just a daily practice, and it cannot be used on the battlefield. If the imperial court wants the soldiers to shed their blood and die, then the imperial court must make up for at least a few months' rations. In the eyes of the soldiers, this was a matter of course. As the old saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!

It seems that the biggest problem in this expedition is still food. Liao Daheng weighed all aspects of the information and once again came to this headache conclusion.

In Sichuan Province, the tax silver of Chongzhen's fourteenth year could not be collected until February of Chongzhen's fifteenth year. It is the beginning of winter, and it is the time when the feudal treasury is short of food. If the food and salary are insufficient, the troops will be defeated. If they are defeated, even if the imperial court has the heart to protect the civil officials of Sichuan, they will not take the generals in charge of the army. Moreover, Zhou Yanru, who is now in power, will not only not protect the civil officials in Sichuan, but will most likely take the opportunity to make trouble and slap the board on Liao Tycoon's ass. Therefore, as soon as the generals' reply was received, Liao Daheng asked Liu Zhibo and the chief official of the division and the division to talk about it. As expected, the chief officials of the two divisions of the feudal department did not come under the pretext of illness, and sent Chen Qichi, a young man, to the branch, saying that he was the plenipotentiary representative of the two divisions of the feudal department.

Although he is a young Zhuang faction, Chen Qichi's age is also fifty. He is a native of Chongren County, Jiangxi Province, and has served as an official in Sichuan for many years. Chen Qichi is short in stature, but he is very energetic, and he belongs to the category of walking 25,000 steps a day. As another evidence of his energy, he is particularly good at creating people. It is said that when Chen Qichi first came to Sichuan to serve as an official, his wife and concubines were no more than one car, and now his family has reached more than 40 (Note 1). If he is engaged in business in the future, he may open a "Qichi Pharmaceutical" (Note 2).

“…… Gan Liangchen and Liu Zhenfan sent a total of 5,000 troops, Jia Denglian 3,000, Zhang Zuokai 2,000, and Mo Chongwen 4,000. There were 14,000 men in total. As soon as Chen Qichi thought about it, he added the offensive strength reported in the reply of the generals everywhere. In the end, Chen Qichi did not forget that on behalf of the two divisions of the domain, he reminded the two adults: "These 14,000 people and horses, every month people eat horses and chew, and the food and salary required is not a small number!" ”

"Liu Zhenfan, Jia Denglian and Mo Chongwen all contributed, and it was not in vain that the officials cultivated them for a while, and they also sheltered them from the wind and rain! The caravan will also send troops, and Chen Youfu's 1,000 elite soldiers are enough to reach 5,000 thieves! The official and Lord Liu asked to see the prince, and the prince had already agreed to it in person. Just ......"

Liao Daheng pondered for a moment, and his face became gloomy: "That Zhang Zhuokai, as a deputy general, why is there only two thousand troops?" From the beginning of the year to the present, he has been raising troops for a long time, and there has been no major war. A few days ago, he shouted that there were no soldiers, so the official mobilized 2,000 elite soldiers from Xuzhou and Qiongzhou to join him. Why is there still only 2,000? Since he can only send 2,000 troops, why do he eat 3,000 for food and get paid, plus 30% of the horse army? Now he is stationed near the first line of Langzhong and Yuxi, which is the closest to Bazhou City. The city of Bazhou was his flood land, and it was also thrown into his hands. It is his responsibility to defend the territory, he does not try his best to fight to the death, who will be the vanguard of the army? He has Liu Zhenfan on his left, Chen Youfu of the caravan on his right, and Jia Denglian after him. He is in the center, and he responds on three sides, but he is afraid of thieves like a tiger! ”

Liao Daheng's face became more and more ugly the more he spoke, and the more he spoke, the sharper his voice became, and he was about to have a seizure.

Liu Zhibo has never had a good impression of Chu Jun, and after receiving Liu Wenyu's letter, this bad feeling gradually developed into a crisis of trust. Liao Daheng scolded Zhang Zhuokai, and Liu Zhibo quickly responded with his voice:

"Liao Gong, govern the army strictly! When the country is in danger, those who are afraid of thieves like tigers and tigers (ZIJU) will be severely punished according to the law! The intention of this official is not only to believe in the strict reprimand, but also to send officials to supervise the army! ”

"Lord Liu's words are very much in line with the official's intentions! The royal court law is set up for this people! Liao Daheng controlled his emotions and nodded heavily, "Baoning Mansion originally had a garrison of a thousand households, so there was no need for Deputy General Zhang to worry about it. Ordered all his troops to be stationed in Yuxi, participate in the attack, and not stay in Langzhong City! ”

Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong. drove all Zhang Zuokai's troops to the front line, openly pointing at Zhang Zuokai, and secretly facing Zhang Jimeng. Chen Qichi thought about it and thought that he understood Liao Daheng's intentions, but he still reminded: "Liao Gong, Liu Gong, this Baoning Mansion is an important town in northern Sichuan, and it must not be missed!" Although there are more than 1,000 soldiers in the Baoning Thousand Households, but after repeated transfers, now they are just empty shells, and there are only more than 100 soldiers, and generals are even more difficult to find. If there is something in Lang, those court crows ......"

Liu Zhibo thought for a moment and said: "What Lord Chen said is reasonable, please Liao Gong think twice!" Listening to the child Wenyu, the thieves are familiar with the dangers of mountains and rivers, climb mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground, are very good at long-distance running, and are not afraid of death in battle. Langzhong is a place for military grain and grass to be hoarded, if Langzhong loses ......"

Liao Daheng interrupted Liu Zhibo with a generous wave of his hand: "Lord Liu, don't worry, Langzhong is not a black nest; No matter how strong the thief is, he can't be stronger than Cao Mengde! This official has already decided on a strategy, and has ordered Gan Liangchen to transfer the guerrilla Wang Chaoyang Department to defend Langzhong. That Wang Chaoyang is a veteran of northern Sichuan, who is cautious and has fought a bloody battle with Hou Liangzhu. He is in Langzhong, and there will be no loss in Langzhong! ”

Since Wang Chaoyang, a veteran of the barracks, was stationed in Langzhong, and Baoning Mansion was as safe as Mount Tai, Liu Zhibo was relieved. With Wang Chaoyang's army behind, does Zhang Zuokai dare to work hard? Chen Qichi was also relieved.

Liu and Chen had their own thoughts, but they heard Liao Daheng talk about another general of the Sichuan army quite proudly:

"Guerrilla Yang Zhan, both civil and military. In his early years, Ben Fu took a fancy to him at a glance and recognized him as a general, so he recommended him to go to the martial arts test. Who knew that he really got the Wu Jinshi back! I heard that Yang Zhan reported that the 1,000 elite soldiers he trained had been stationed in Baizhang Pass (now Wangcang County). Liu Zhenfan led a total of 2,000 barracks to support him. General Gan and Deputy General Liu all recommended Yang Zhan as the pioneer of the West Road, smashed the Nanjiang River, and cut off the back road of the bandits. This discussion is very much in line with the meaning of this care! The key to military training is to fight, not to train, and to train with war!

The caravan is proof of that!

The caravans were originally homeless grass labels, with no clothes and no food. The prince first led them to fight a battle in Pengshan, and beheaded the thief Zhang Guangzu; Chen Youfu led them to fight a battle in Changping Mountain, killing Yao Yuchuan, the son of the Shaking Heavens, and Yang Bingyin, the giant chief of the bandits. Now the soldiers are fighting more and more, and they will be stronger and stronger. Not only did poor and lowly people like Chen Youfu become a general, but even Liu Gongzi Wenyu and other reading seeds dared to go into battle to kill thieves! ”

Replacing training with combat is clearly the way for the son of the world to train soldiers. Liao Tycoon steals his own idea, which is really shameless. But since Liao Tycoon talked about Liu Wenyu, Chen Qichi also had to inquire about the details. Liao Daheng was sold in a treacherous manner, so he loudly told him that a few days ago he and Liu asked to see the prince, and the prince praised Liu Wenyu, the staff officer of the caravan, for being calm and brave on the battlefield.

……

Liao Daheng deliberately brought up the matter again in front of Chen Qichi, clearly wanting to use Chen Qichi's mouth to make a name for his son.

Liu Zhibo knew that this was Liao Tycoon's overture. He hurriedly got up, humble, but the affection between father and son filled his heart with pride. Although Liu Wenyu is his stepson, he has been raised since he was a child, and he is a nephew, so he has long regarded him as his own. Wen Yu beat Xiao Wen weakly, this time he joined the army, Liu Zhibo was also worried, and often couldn't sleep at night. How do you know that when you go into battle for the first time, you can kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!

This time the victory of Changping Mountain, the head of the palace, Shi Si, drew up a list of meritorious service for the Ertai Yamen.

This list can be said to be a list that everyone is happy with. The caravan was said to have become the product of the vigorous advocacy of the Shu Wangfu, the active assistance of the Yamen of the Second Taiwan and the Third Division, the support of the civil and military forces of Ya and Luzhou, and the active participation of the gentry and common people of Wangzhuang.

Everyone has a share of big hats, and there are a lot of specific benefits. The civil officials on the list include Gao Dengtai, the judge of Luzhou, Wang Guochen, the governor of Yazhou, Wu Jishan, the magistrate of Chengdu, Liu Shidou, the magistrate of Chengdu, Fang Yaoxiang, the governor of Tongzhi, Li Yunyi, the county governor of Shehong, He Youyi, the deputy envoy of the inspection of Feixian Pass, and Shu Guoxin of Jiang'an Zhixian County, Luzhou Juren Bureau, etc.; The generals include Qin Army, Thousand Households, Luzhou Guard, Song Zhenzong, Yazhou Guard, Hundred Households, Chen Youfu, etc.; There are more officials and white bodies, Jianzhou scholar Wang Xingwu, Yunnan Xiucai, Shanxi Juren Qian Weihan, Jingshi scholar Li Maoquan, Baoning Mansion warden Li Kun and other big names are recommended, Liao Tycoon's people, Liu Zhibo's people, and the people of the palace, everyone has a share, but the protagonists and heroes of the Battle of Changpingshan - Chen Youfu, Luo Jingyun and the generals from the left guard did not have one.

Liu Zhibo knew what was going on. That Shu Shizi was quite scheming, and a few people close to him were released to take the imperial court, but the real team stayed by his side, and no one could dig it up.

This time, Liu Wenyu was also on the list of meritorious contributions, and reported a miraculous feat of strategizing and winning the battlefield. Meritorious deeds were sprinkled, such as devised a strange plan to protect the caravan from one side to another, and then directly attack the thief's army, causing the tide of the battle to reverse, and so on, which took nearly 100 words. The military merit was divided into fifteen at once.

The military merits of the Ming Dynasty have always been the heaviest first-class victory. The heads of nearly 4,000 local tyrants were built at the Dongmen Wharf in Nanfang County. Passing ships can be viewed up close; There are also two thief chieftains, which are spread in various states and counties in Sichuan. This is a big victory that no one can deny. As long as you repay the merits to the court, the court will be rewarded.

Liu Wenyu's qualifications are mediocre, and there may be little hope in the field. But father and son are connected, as a father, Liu Zhibo certainly hopes that his son will have a future. It's just that the son of the world is so rewarded, which makes him very uneasy.

Note 1: According to historical records, Zhang Xianzhong broke Chengdu, and Chen Qichi led more than 40 members of his family to surrender to Baihuatan to martyrdom. Baihuatan should be today's Chengdu Baihuatan Park, next to Qingyang Palace.
