Wei Zhongxian and Sun Chuanting withdrew together, and when they came out of the door, Wei Zhongxian said: "Sun Qincha has worked hard, what to do about the affairs of Jingying, I have to ask Qincha to show me." ”

Sun Chuanting was startled, thinking that he had offended him, but he didn't look like him? Hurriedly saluted and said: "The factory governor is serious, he is all for His Majesty, and he doesn't dare to say that he is hard, but the factory governor has to take care of the East Factory and the emperor, which is really hard." ”

Wei Zhongxian laughed so much that his eyebrows jumped: "This governor is the emperor's slave, and it is his duty to be loyal to the emperor." Please come and talk about it in detail. "I thought, this person is good, and I can have a good relationship in the future. So the first cooperation between the eunuch and the butcher began in a lively conversation.

Five days later, 33,000 soldiers were returned to Beijing from all over the country. Wei Zhongxian arrested a total of five eunuchs, and a total of 23 generals under Wang Tao were put in prison, asking them to hand over all the empty salaries that had been embezzled over the years. Sun Chuanting and Lu Qin screened all the soldiers, and all the unqualified old and weak were cleared out, and a total of 23,000 young and strong soldiers were obtained.

The two reported the results, and Zhu Youxiao asked, "Why do you want to castrate the three people from the Zhang family?" Wei Zhongxian thought, didn't the emperor himself say that he wanted them to become Zhang Wu, did he understand it wrong? Then he replied: "These three people have no military discipline, and they are free and loose to the extreme, and if they are not punished so severely, it is not enough to warn those who follow." ”

"Oh, then forget it this time, you are not allowed to be corrupted in the future. How much money did each of the old and weak who were cleared go? ”

Sun Chuanting replied: "Emperor Xuan is gracious, two taels of silver per person." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Two taels of silver or kindness?" These people have worked hard for many years, and they will be sent away with two taels of silver, doesn't it seem that I am too merciful! Spread my will, take money from the military salaries returned by the officers, twenty taels per person, and make it widely publicized, and distribute it to every sergeant, and Dongchang will supervise me, and if anyone stretches out his hand, he will cut off his hand. ”

"As for the 23,000 young and strong people selected, they will be led by Lu Guerrilla and Zhou General, by the way, Lu Qin will be promoted to a general, and Zhou Yuji will be promoted to a guerrilla, first eliminate some of the slippery ones that do not meet the physical requirements, and then come to train the troops."

"Your Majesty, the minister has just been promoted to a general, but I am afraid that I will not be able to bring so many generals, please Your Majesty choose another meritorious, and the minister is willing to assist in training."

Lu Qin was promoted from guerrilla to general, and it is indeed difficult for people to obey orders if he is asked to bring so many soldiers, so who are you looking for? To be capable and trustworthy, this person is not easy to find, and after thinking about it, he remembered two people.

"The decree is that Yang Guangkui, the son of the commander of the horse, will be promoted to the commander of the Beijing camp, and the prime minister will be the commander of the Beijing camp, Yang Guanggao, Lu Qin will be the assistant director of the Beijing camp, and Zhou Yuji will be the assistant director of the military law, and they will jointly assist the commander in training."

passed the Yang Guangkui brothers in, and instructed: "You are just training soldiers, there is no problem in training soldiers according to the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", Yang Guanggao, you are assisting in military discipline, first of all, let the soldiers memorize and understand military discipline, and then let them understand what they are fighting for." These "New Books of Discipline" are recorded in detail, so let's follow them first. Lu Qin, what you are assisting is the combat strength of the army, you now let the soldiers only practice short guns, even the original Shenji Battalion only practice short guns, I have prepared the military battle bureau, as for marksmanship, I have a subordinate who is very proficient, he will become a military camp instructor. If he tells you that the soldiers are almost all trained in the short guns, then then they will practice the firearms, and everyone will have to practice both weapons. Zhou Yuji, you are responsible for formulating the rules and regulations, how everyone should behave, how to march, how to practice, how to deal with problems, including how to eat, go to the thatched house, there must be a code to follow, this matter is very important, you must be attentive. I will review it in some time, and I hope you will not let me down. ”

The four of them bowed down together, and Zhu Youxiao called for Xuan Ming: "The master said that your marksmanship is only suitable for battle formations, and I appointed the master as the head of the Beijing camp, and I only need to teach the spear stabbing method, and nothing else is needed." And ask the master to write to the Shaolin Temple, and invite the master who is proficient in technical attack in the temple to come to Beijing as an instructor. ”

Obscure and saluted, and went back to repair the book and summon people. Then he came to the barracks with Admiral Yang.

As for Sun Chuanting's arrangement, the story in "The Great Ming Tribulation" seems to take place in Shaanxi, Li Zicheng and they seem to have done something in Shaanxi, this place needs to be paid attention to, Zhu Youxiao asked Xu Guangqi again, and knew that the poorest place in Shaanxi was Yan'an Mansion. So the emperor decreed: Sun Chuanting was promoted to the prefect of Yan'an. Because Sun Chuanting served as a messenger and served as a member of the military department, there was no problem with this appointment.

When Sun Chuanting resigned from His Majesty, Zhu Youxiao gave him a face-to-face lecture: "Sun Qing, this time I sent you to Shaanxi, the main task is to clean up the military tun and promote high-yield crops, if you can plant sweet potatoes and potatoes in all parts of Yan'an Prefecture within three years, then the food problem in all parts of Shaanxi will be solved, no matter what method you use, in short, you must get usable soldiers and produce food for the army." I will ask the Siyuan Bureau to match you with some old farmers, as well as the planting materials of the Siyuan Bureau. It is impossible for a person to understand everything, so you have to make good use of these people and things, give them convenience, and don't interfere in their specific affairs, I look forward to a rich Yan'an Mansion, and even more to a rich Shaanxi, I hope that Sun Qing will not disappoint me. ”

Of course, Sun Chuanting understood this, and he knelt on the ground and promised the emperor that he would turn Yan'an Mansion into the richest government in Shaanxi within three years to repay the emperor's kindness.

Zhu Youxiao asked Wang Tiqian to take Sun Chuanting to the Siyuan Bureau to select the technical personnel to bring. After Sun Chuanting carefully looked at the rules and regulations of the Siyuan Bureau and the specific output of sweet potatoes, he asked Wang Tiqian to help select some old farmers, and also asked the little eunuchs who formulated the rules to also select a few, the old farmers had no problem, but Wang Tiqian could not be the master of the eunuchs' affairs, so he came back to ask the emperor for instructions.

Zhu Youxiao smiled when he heard this: "It seems that this Sun Chuanting is a person who does practical things, so I can rest assured, you can pick a few little eunuchs and station them in Yan'an Mansion in the name of supervision, and ask Sun Chuanting to send someone else to study carefully before sending them back." Send someone to do it, I have something to do with you. ”

Zhu Youxiao picked up the recital on the table and sighed, this is Xu Guangqi's recital, he is very measured, and asked him to recommend talents, only Li Zhizao and Yang Tingyun were recommended, and these two people are all-rounders, only if they don't know the military. Talents are rare, especially military talents, and they can't always let civilian officials lead the troops, so it is not easy for them to change the situation of the noble and the lowly.
