266 The Opportunity Awaits Hongmen

After breaking through Chang'an City, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the five provinces, took over the territory, but there was another expansion, which made him satisfied and at the same time, he was also a little uneasy.

As a courtier, he should know the truth that a companion is like a tiger, and now he Sun Chuanting is the existence of the lord who is about to make a high contribution in the court, if he doesn't know how to cherish his life, then he is not only unlucky, but also his huge family, as well as his cronies.

And when the imperial court finally issued an edict, nominally promoted Sun Chuanting to the duke, with the title of Cao Guogong recovered by the previous king, and at the same time gave the highest Zhenguo general Yulu, among which the favor is unmatched in the court.

However, with the defeat and destruction of the Northwest Dashun Dynasty, after promoting Sun Chuanting and giving him the due reward, at the same time, the imperial court withdrew his real power as the governor of the five provinces, and replaced him with the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, who had long existed in name only.

Many of Sun Chuanting's henchmen were extremely dissatisfied with this arrangement and were upset about it, but Sun Chuanting's heart was full of gratitude.

The more he took power from Sun Chuanting and suppressed his strength, while still letting him be independent outside the court and in charge of a country's army, this shows that Emperor Chongzhen has more trust in him, and he is not afraid of his own achievements over the years.

For this reason, Sun Chuanting killed a few people who were disrespectful and ignored the king's confidants, so that his soldiers no longer dared to talk nonsense, which was not only the consciousness that he should have as a courtier, but also the expression of Emperor Chongzhen's heart to prove his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

"The instructions issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs of the DPRK and China before, everyone here must have already understood that our ministry has the grace of the emperor, and we should do our best to serve Your Majesty."

After suppressing and curbing the careful thoughts of his henchmen, Sun Chuanting also summoned his subordinates and began to lay out the next plan.

"Dashun Li Zicheng was destroyed by a traitor, it should have been done more than ten years ago, but I and other courtiers were incompetent, so that the other party did not finally perish until now, everyone should not be happy in their hearts, and the reaction should be asked to themselves, ashamed!"

The soldiers under Sun Chuanting, since they defeated the Le Dashun Dynasty and captured Li Zicheng as the head of the thief, have been a little flustered, not only slackness in military affairs, but even the actions of civilian officials have begun to make frequent mistakes.

"Moreover, now that I am outside the Ming Dynasty, there is still Daxi'er Zhang Xianzhong's loyal thief chief who has not been destroyed, is it too early for everyone to enjoy a rich life?"

"The reputation of Zhang Xianzhong and others is not as good as that of the thief Li Zicheng, but the territory he controls has many passes, and there are many majestic mountains, and if he wants to conquer the Great Western Dynasty, the difficulty is only more difficult than conquering the king of Chang'an in Dashun!"

The earnest words slowly came out of Sun Chuanting's mouth, making a group of delicate soldiers under his command look sideways, and gradually retracted the scattered minds.

"The order of the military department and me, let me defeat Daxi as soon as possible and recover the homeland of Shu, so that I can focus more energy on a bigger opponent."

"As for who the opponent is at this point, I guess I don't need to remind you at night!"

"In view of the fact that the future is uncertain, a little slack will lead to the emperor's favor, and this officer is extremely sad to see that the hearts of the officers and men of our army are gradually dissipating, and the top priority should be to revive the morale of the soldiers and soldiers."

"From now on, all the armies defending the cities will practice every three days and every five days. At the same time, the bandits in various localities are causing more and more trouble, and the remnants of the Dashun Dynasty are bravely wandering among the people, resulting in the people's instability. ”

"There should be no mistake in organizing the local people to return to production, measuring the land, and granting the terra nullius to the landless."

"Remember, your subordinates are somewhat restrained, and if you can't keep it together, there will be things and factories and brocade guards, and if something really happens, the official will not only not protect you, but also deal with it strictly."

The higher he was in a high position, the more far-reaching Sun was to send out his army, if he used to be more protective of the gentry class, now he attaches more importance to the reconstruction work of the common people.

There is no end to the land, and even if a large family uses all their strength to occupy a large area of land, if there are no farmers to cultivate it and herdsmen to graze, then this land will not be as productive as it should be in the end.

Therefore, the interests of the gentry class should reach a balance point with the interests of the people at the bottom of the people, so that the people can recuperate and recuperate, and at the same time, the gentry class can also obtain sufficient benefits.

These are the essence of Sun Chuanting's practical operation in the local area over the years, and because he understands all this, he seems to be at ease in the construction of people's livelihood and knows many of the key points.

Of course, as a member of the gentry class, Sun Chuanting will eventually lean towards the gentry moving class, but it is precisely because the peasant rebel army has been in trouble for decades that he knows the important position of the people in this kind of matter, so that when he looks at his actions, he is more partial to the people.

In this way, in exchange for the people's reputation for Sun Chuanting's Qingtian master, although Sun Chuanting has a lot of prevarication on the surface, in fact, he is very useful in his heart.

"Humble Order!!"

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

The civil and military officials present were all solemn and solemn.

"Very well, then let's do what you have to do!"

The Ming Dynasty army bordering Daxi in Hanzhong was ready to move, so that everyone in the Daxi Dynasty was concerned and actively prepared to see.

In the distant Liaodong Theater, through a series of dazzling operations, the Hongmen army, which had quietly gathered the Hongtang Liaodong army occupying six or seven out of ten to Zunhua, Shanhaiguan and other border passes, was also recuperating and paying close attention to this war in the southwest that might start at any time.

The Great Shun Dynasty was destroyed by this piece, out of the surprise of Hongmen, no one could have imagined that he had escaped from the hands of the Ming Dynasty and the officers and soldiers countless times, and then resurrected the Dashun King Li Zicheng, this time he did not flee again, but defended the city, and finally ended up with a dead family.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has strangled Dashun's henchmen, its strength has increased a little bit, which is not a good thing for Hongmen.

If the Ming Dynasty is allowed to take advantage of the situation, capture the Shu Chongdi, and exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and his group in the Western Dynasty again, then what they will face in Hongmen will be a Ming Dynasty that has completed the task of reunification and has no troubles.

Therefore, Hongmen can no longer stand by at this time, quietly waiting for the Ming Dynasty to recover step by step, and it is time for them to make a move and really get out of the chess game of the world for hegemony.

Of course, if they want Hongmen to really send troops, then they also need a suitable opportunity, at least when the Ming Dynasty is helpless!
