However, Sun Chuanting didn't care about these at all, and only listened to Sun Chuanting just say: "The officials of the dynasty are corrupt, not to mention rewards, they are the salaries of the army, the money and food for disaster relief, and these people also dare to reach out and reap the benefits!"

It is because of these arrogant and extravagant and lawless people that I have ended up like today, and the people are not happy!

These people are the culprits who have harmed my Ming Dynasty, as long as they are there for a day, I will not be at peace for a day, such a person who does not know how to be honest and shameful, how can my Sun Chuanting tolerate him! ”

After speaking, Sun Chuanting flicked the sleeves of his official uniform violently, and said to Qu Shiyun, Qiu Dangkou, Sun Keying, Xu Wannian and others: "From today onwards, our army will recruit another 3,500 people, and you must be loyal to your duties, carefully select excellent people to fill the army, and don't make people confused!" ”

Seeing that Sun Chuanting said so solemnly, Qu Shiyun, Qiu Dangkou and others did not dare to slack off, and took it solemnly.

"Yes, sir." ，，，

Then, Sun Chuanting ignored everyone and turned to leave, his resolute and resolute attitude was moving.

This time, Sun Chuanting expanded the army again and recruited 3,500 people, so as long as the personnel recruitment is complete, plus the current headquarters of the people, the army under his command can reach 5,600 people, and the Taiyuan Wei is really full.

Such an expansion of the army is not taboo, because it does not exceed the establishment of a guard station, so Sun Chuanting can act boldly.

As for money and food, this is not a problem now, because this time Li Zicheng was killed, and the war went very smoothly, so Sun Chuanting seized most of Li Zicheng's net worth, and roughly estimated that it was at least more than 800,000 taels of silver.

For these seizures, Sun Chuanting did not hand them over to the imperial court, nor did he mention them to Emperor Chongzhen, because Sun Chuanting knew that even if the silver was handed over, it would be turned seven or eight times, and it was estimated that if it turned around a few more times, Emperor Chongzhen would not be able to see the silver.

So Sun Chuanting hid the money and prepared for the upcoming conscription.

Today's Sun Chuanting, since he defeated Li Zicheng's army of more than 100,000 in one fell swoop with less than 3,000 men, can be said to be famous in Shanxi, Henan and other places.

In addition, Sun Chuanting's recruitment of soldiers is well paid, as long as he is selected, he will be given two stones of grain on the spot, as well as ten taels of silver for settling-in expenses, and two taels of silver for military salaries every month in the future.

With such favorable conditions, coupled with Sun Chuanting's fame, there are naturally countless responders.

So soon, Qu Shiyun and others were engaged in the intense task of recruiting soldiers, and they were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

Only that Sun Chuanting stayed alone in the room these days, and almost never went out.

Ten days later, all 3,500 soldiers were recruited, and Qu Shiyun took the final roster and found Sun Chuanting and reported the task to him.

"Brother Xian, all the 3,500 soldiers have been recruited, all of them are good people who are strong and have a clean family background, this is the roster, and I invite Brother Xian to look at it."

As he spoke, Qu Shiyun handed the roster to Sun Chuanting's hand.

Sun Chuanting took the roster, put it on the table, and said to Qu Shiyun: "Brother Qitian, you have worked hard these days. ”

"Brother Xian is polite."

Qu Shiyun saw Sun Chuanting's haggard face at this time, as if he was in poor spirits, and thought of Sun Chuanting who had hardly gone out these days, could it be that he was sick!

So Qu Shiyun asked Sun Chuanting with concern: "Brother Xian, I see that you are not in good spirits, but what is on your mind?" Or is it uncomfortable? ”

Sun Chuanting smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't remember, brother is fine." ”

Sun Chuanting's words were obviously perfunctory, where could Qu Shiyun not see it?

"Brother Xian, you and I are irreversible friends, and we have been in love for many years, do you have anything bad to say to me?"

When Sun Chuanting saw Qu Shiyun say this, he had to open his heart to him.

"Don't hide it from my brother, these days, my brother has been thinking about a question, that is, Sun Chengzong Sun Ge Lao!"

Qu Shiyun was surprised to hear him say this, I don't know why Sun Chuanting suddenly paid attention to Sun Chengzong?

Instinctively, Qu Shiyun relied on his understanding of Sun Chuanting, and felt that Sun Chuanting seemed to be suspicious of Sun Chengzong.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Hey!"

Sun Chuanting sighed heavily, and then said, "Brother thinks that this Sun Ge Lao is very likely to have betrayed the imperial court!" ”

Qu Shiyun was shocked when he heard this, and his two eyes looked at Sun Chuanting in disbelief!

"Virtuous brother, Sun Ge is highly respected, and he is the elder of the Four Dynasties, and he is the teacher of the Lord of Ximiao, and the emperor also trusts him, and he is extremely respectful, and the emperor's grace is vast, what a word!

Furthermore, Sun Ge Lao has been in charge of the Liaodong military for many years, sleeping in the open air, working hard and resentful, and his loyalty to my Ming Dynasty is known to the world. ”

"Misunderstanding?"

Sun Chuanting muttered, and then sat down in the chair weakly.

"Then may I ask my brother, why did Sun Ge Lao turn a blind eye to the rice fat giant thief after he pacified Guanzhong, and before he fought, he wrote to the emperor and recommended the strategy of appeasement?"

"This!"

Qu Shiyun was speechless, indeed, Sun Chengzong's behavior was very abnormal, with Sun Chengzong's military ability and prestige, it was easy to quell the Guanzhong Rebellion.

But after achieving such a big victory, he should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue, sent troops to Mizhi in one fell swoop, and strangled the Mizhi giant thief, but unexpectedly, he suddenly died down, as if the Mizhi giant thief did not exist!

At this time, Sun Chuanting continued: "When Sun Ge Lao pacified Guanzhong, the rice fat giant thief sent troops everywhere and occupied Qingyang Mansion, Pingliang Mansion, and Fengxiang Mansion in one fell swoop. ”

Qu Shiyun was speechless again.

Indeed, this is also very abnormal, Sun Chengzong and the rice fat giant thief can be said to be fighting in two places at the same time, and they also stopped almost at the same time,

One is an official and the other is a thief, such a coincidence, this has to be intriguing!

Thinking of this, Qu Shiyun's brows also furrowed.

If Sun Chengzong really betrayed the imperial court and secretly colluded with the rice fat giant thief, then the impact on the Ming Dynasty can really be said to be immeasurable, and it can even be said to be a catastrophe!
