Chapter 82 Arrange for Candidates
SX is definitely the biggest trouble in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, or the most worrying place, even worse than Liaodong. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEmperor Chongzhen wants to send someone to stabilize the situation in SX now, even if it's temporary! Now there is no way to provide disaster relief, so we can only send people to stabilize the army.
Man Gui was the most suitable person for Emperor Chongzhen to prevent the army from mutiny.
Preventing the army from mutiniing is definitely the best strategy at the moment when it is impossible to prevent the peasant uprising. Even if you spend a little money on military salaries, it's worth it. Emperor Chongzhen knows that the military households at the bottom are not having a good time!
Taking out money to stabilize the morale of the army is at least a matter that will produce quick results, and as for punishing the army, that is not something that you can do now.
In history, in July of the first year of Chongzhen, the officials impeached the king's ministers one after another, and then connected to Mangui. Wang Zhichen was dismissed, and Man Gui was also recalled to the military government. coincided with the accident of Qu Jiazhen, the chief soldier of Datong, so he asked Man Gui to replace Qu Jiazhen as the chief soldier of Datong.
For a long time, Datong relied on the peace to relax war preparations, and invaded the west, so the king of Shunyi entered the territory of Datong to plunder. Qu Jiazhen and Governor Zhang Yiming were sentenced to death, and the insert did not leave after receiving the bounty. After Mangui took office, he inspected 72 castles on the Eighth Road, and the border defense and war preparedness were vigorously rectified, so that the military and people of Datong were able to eliminate their fears.
After Man Gui arrived in Datong, he quickly changed the military appearance of Datong, which was the most important place for Emperor Chongzhen.
It's just that Man Gui died in the second year of Chongzhen, and in the capital and Huang Taiji fought bloodily for several days, Yuan Chonghuan did not send his own men and horses to rescue, and even happened that Yuan Chonghuan shot Man Gui with an arrow, which made Emperor Chongzhen and Yuan Chonghuan separated from Germany.
Coupled with Mao Wenlong's matter, Yuan Chonghuan completely lost the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, and finally led to Yuan Chonghuan being killed.
Emperor Chongzhen thought countless times that if Man Gui died and always sat in Datong, the situation between SX and SX would not necessarily fall into that way, and there would be no way to clean it up later.
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen is going to put Man Gui directly in sx instead of sx, and by the way, Wang Zhichen will also be put over. Even if Wang Zhichen's ability is insufficient, he is definitely much stronger than those in SX. What's more, the relationship between Man Gui and Wang Zhichen is very good, and there will be no civil and military discord.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen took his gaze back from the map and made a decision.
"Wang Chengen, according to the cabinet's plan, I will return to Beijing with full Gui, and early tomorrow morning, I want to see Wang Zhichen!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said in a deep voice: "In addition, let someone prepare 500,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury, and I will call it at any time." ”
These 500,000 taels of silver, Emperor Chongzhen was prepared to give to Man Gui, to stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time as a stepping stone for Man Gui to enter the sx. Those sergeants will mutini if they can't survive, Man Gui can let them live, and I believe that Man Gui can also win their hearts.
"In addition, let people prepare 100,000 loads of food, be fast!" Emperor Chongzhen instructed: "Leave this matter to the cabinet, let them hurry up." ”
"Yes, the slave will go and pass the decree!" Wang Chengen saw that Emperor Chongzhen had a serious attitude, and hurriedly agreed.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and once again set his eyes on sx, and it seemed that one full gui was not enough. SX has two nine-sided towns, one of which is Guyuan, and the other is Yansui, which also needs a strong general soldier to be stationed in, and also needs a person.
As for the surrounding NX and GS bits, I can't take care of it for the time being, and the peasant uprising won't burn up at the first word, so let's take care of SX first!
At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen was also anxious, he needed food, a large amount of food, which was an imminent problem. In addition to raising food, it is also necessary to carry out its own land reform immediately, and at the same time, it is necessary to introduce high-yielding crops more quickly.
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen naturally remembered another person, and beckoned to Cao Huachun, who was standing not far away: "Song Yingxing, where are you?" ”
The dean of his Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the same 600 miles in an expeditious way, why hasn't anyone arrived yet? Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be a little irritable.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't know that Song Yingxing, who was over thirty years old at this time, was still studying, preparing for next year's Spring Festival, and was studying. Finding a scholar and finding an official are not the same concept at all, and according to the historical process, Song Yingxing will also fail in next year's exam.
It's just that Emperor Chongzhen really can't wait, and urgently needs Song Yingxing to put out the fire, and is ready to implement new crops in the spring of next year.
"Back to the emperor, news has come from Dongchang, Song Yingxing and his brother Song Yingsheng have been found, the two brothers are on their way to the capital, and they should be there in three days." Cao Huachun hurriedly replied.
Emperor Chongzhen nodded, once again focused his gaze on Yansui, frowned and groaned for a long time, and couldn't help but think of a person, this person was the person who rose in SX to quell the civil unrest, which made Emperor Chongzhen happy in his heart, but then hesitated.
This person is none other than the famous Hong Chengchou, a very complex character.
As a Ming minister, Hong Chengchou can fight well and is a very typical civilian general. In the process of quelling the SX peasant uprising, it was also very prescient, and the imperial court was unable to appease it, but fortunately it was cleared, and it turned out that Hong Chengchou was prescient.
Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong have deceived many times, and they will rebel after recuperating for a period of time. The Ming Dynasty repeatedly suppressed the "thief army" without dying, and it was because of this kind of deception.
However, Emperor Chongzhen had doubts about the use of Hong Chengchou, after all, he later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. But now doesn't seem to be the time to scruple about this, Emperor Chongzhen instructed Cao Huachun: "Let people go to the ministry and find a person named Hong Chengchou for me!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cao Huachun nodded hurriedly, went outside to find a little eunuch, and let him go after a few words.
Emperor Chongzhen paced back and forth in the room, the expression on his face was very solemn, one Hong Chengchou still didn't seem to be enough, he could pass the governor of Yansui, but what about the general army of Yansui? Need to find someone for Hong Chengchou, after thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen locked up a person.
This person is Cao Wenzhao, a figure who has made great achievements in the suppression of the rebel army.
Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of Yansui Town, and muttered to himself: "Hong Chengchou is the governor of Yansui, Cao Wenzhao is the governor of Yansui, Wang Zhichen is the governor of the three sides, and Man Gui is the general soldier of Guyuan, and there is still one person missing, his position is the governor of SX!" ”
The current SX governor is Qiao Yingjia, and he has a lot of responsibility for forcing the SX peasants, and this person doesn't know enough about the peasant army, he always feels that it is a small matter, and when the matter is serious, it has become out of control.
But who should the SX Governor use? Emperor Chongzhen's eyes were sluggish, pondering the candidate, and after thinking about it, there was still no suitable candidate, should you consult Sun Chengzong?
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but think of Yang He, Yang He was known as Qingwang, after the defeat of Salhu, Yang He once said: "The loss of Liao, unexpectedly, he lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and he was mistaken in the strategy; If you don't know the opportunity, you will immediately urge the war, and mistakenly be in the auxiliary ministers; The dispatch is not heard, helpless, and mistakenly in the pivot. The supreme is constantly gentle, and the supreme is self-wrong".
But thinking of the evaluation of Yang He, Emperor Chongzhen immediately hesitated, Yang He was an upright and good official, but he didn't know the soldiers, and he was bent on appeasing him.
If Yang He is powerful, the matter of SX will not be erosive, he can be a peace governor, but it will not be useful in wartime!
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen thought of an official who almost quelled the peasant uprising, this person was Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting dared to do anything, he asked for orders to be the governor of SX, you must know that SX was already very erosive at that time.
Sun Chuanting asked Ying to be appointed governor of SX, responsible for exterminating the peasant army. Sun Chuanting built an army in Yulin, known as the Qin army. At this time, Hong Chengchou was fighting with Li Zicheng in northern Shaanxi, and after Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to the governor of Xuanda, the leader of the people's army, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, came back from Huguang and came to SX to attack Xi'an from Hanzhong. The court led the Qin army to defend it, but Gao Yingxiang could not overcome it, so he intended to enter from the Meridian Valley and approach Xi'an.
Sun Chuanting expected that after four days of fierce fighting, Gao Yingxiang was defeated, and was captured and sent to BJ to be executed, and his nephew Li Zicheng succeeded him as King Chuang.
Later, Ma Jinzhong and other troops crossed the west and folded into Shaanxi, attacking Shangzhou, Luonan, Lantian and other places. Sun Chuanting led his troops and the Ming armies from all walks of life to attack the rebel army Shengshiwang, Guabei Wang, Yiyingfei, Zhentianwang and other troops one after another with superior forces, so that the area south of Guanzhong tended to be pacified.
Later, he and Hong Chengchou ambushed with heavy troops in the south of Tongguan, so that Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was almost wiped out, and Li Zicheng only broke through with 18 cavalry. At this point, the rebel army in the territory of SX was almost suppressed. At this time, the situation of the Ming army was very good, but because the Qing army attacked the Great Wall at this time, Emperor Chongzhen urgently transferred Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting back to Beijing for defense, and Li Zicheng got a respite.
In the end, Li Zicheng became bigger and conquered Tongguan, and the general soldiers Bai Guangen and Chen Yongfu surrendered to Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng besieged Sun Chuanting with 100,000 troops, Sun Chuanting retreated to Weinan, and on the third day of October, Sun Chuanting died in battle at the age of 51
At that time, Chongzhen thought that he had absconded by fraud and did not give him a gift. "History of the Ming Dynasty" said: "The court died and the Ming died." ”
This evaluation is very high, Emperor Chongzhen knocked on the map hard, and made a decision directly in his heart, and the governor of SX used Sun Chuanting.
It's just that the current Sun Chuanting should be unknown, and it still takes a little effort to find him, so Emperor Chongzhen had to instruct Cao Huachun: "Let Jinyi Weitian Ergeng find a person named Sun Chuanting, he should be a native of SX Daizhou, and he has been a Jinshi." ”
Now Sun Chuanting should have resigned and gone home, Sun Chuanting was a jinshi, and he was first awarded the magistrate of Yongcheng. In the early years of the Apocalypse, he entered the BJ position, was the chief of the official department, and then promoted to Jixun Langzhong, and two years later because of dissatisfaction with Wei Zhongxian****, he abandoned the official and returned to his hometown.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at the map, felt that this arrangement was almost over, and nodded with satisfaction, if these people were sent down, even if they couldn't stop the civil uprising, it would be okay to control it temporarily. The key is to solve the problem of food, let them kill their own people with knives, and Emperor Chongzhen can't help it!
