Chapter 695: The gentry receive food in one piece
When He Renlong's bloody head was brought in, all the generals trembled and did not dare to move, especially Zheng Jiadong, Niu Chenghu, Wang Ding, and the general soldiers of the four towns of Guan Fumin, all of whom were even more frightened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These veterans thought that Sun Chuanting was just a routine matter or a bluff to scare them, but they didn't expect him to cut off the head of the general soldier of a province without saying a word.
And this head is not the head of an ordinary person, he is the head of He Renlong, the most famous general in Shaanxi, the "highly respected" among the generals in the town, he said that he would cut it, and he was decisive and ruthless to Sun Chuanting, and everyone experienced it to a higher level.
Not only that, but immediately after He Renlong, there were several of his subordinates, such as Zhou Guoqing, Wei Daheng and others, screaming and begging, and were successively pushed out and beheaded by Sun Chuanting's order, and the bloody heads were brought in one after another, and the generals' feet trembled.
The generals of He Renlong's family, such as the surviving Gao Jie and others, were also trembling, lest they hear the sound of themselves being ordered to be beheaded.
Fortunately, after killing He Renlong and a few of his confidants, Sun Chuanting did not kill again, but said coldly: "The thieves are in endless chaos, Your Majesty is anxious every day, and my ancestors have been blessed by the country, dare not to share the worries of the saints?" In the future, military discipline should be the first priority, and those who dare not obey military orders will be severely punished by the Governor and the sword, and will never be lenient! ”
He said coldly: "It should be the responsibility of our generation to comfort the worries of the saints and to relieve the suffering of the people!" He is a dragon, ignoring the emperor's grace, it is not a pity to die, and he passed on the order of the governor to pass the heads of these thieves to the three sides, and dare to have those who do not serve the country. That's how it all ends! The generals need to be warned! ”
All the generals knelt on the ground, trembling and did not dare to speak, Niu Chenghu and others had the heart to be angry, and the rabbit died and the fox was sad to congratulate the end of the dragon, but when the matter came, they found that they were so cowardly and powerless, and the court was afraid of them, so why not?
Supporting the army and respecting themselves, they are all willing, but they really want to join the thief and follow the thief. or rebellion. But it is not for idlers to make up their minds.
After all, thieves are thieves, and with today and no tomorrow, they have no fixed place to live, and they are often chased by officers and soldiers like lost dogs. If Li is self-made. Several times he fled into the mountains with a dozen horsemen. That kind of day, can they, the general soldiers, endure?
Even if the thieves are big now, who knows what will happen in the future? I did a good job as a general soldier. Who wants to suffer which?
They can threaten the imperial court and make the officials throw themselves into the trap, but when it comes to that point, many people often don't have the guts, especially for them who are high-ranking generals.
So Sun Chuanting just ignored this set and didn't take their possible threats into account, but they had no choice, obediently fearful, and knelt in fear.
The staff officials above, they looked at He Renlong and the other leaders, all of them were happy, or emotional, or some sneered, or some thought seriously. Wen Shiyan stroked his beard, glanced at He Renlong's head, and said secretly in his heart: "Good killing, these warlords and rats, all of them are innocent!" ”
After the battle of Zhuxian Town, Wen Shiyan hated all kinds of warlords to the core, and he thought even more: "He Renlong is dead, under the layout of the general, the next one, it will be Zuo Liangyu's turn to be a thief!" ”
"Gao Jie."
Glancing at the expressions of the generals with satisfaction, Sun Chuanting's gaze looked at Gao Jie, who was trembling, and shouted softly.
Gao Jie was startled, hurriedly stepped forward, and said respectfully: "The last general." ”
Sun Chuanting looked at this big man, seeing that he was burly and outstanding, he nodded secretly, and said: "Gao Jie, you are a Mizhi person, and you are in the same town as the thief, but you have a loyal heart and do not want to be a thief, anyway, to serve the court, this is very good." Over the years, you have also made great achievements, and the governor recommended you as the chief military officer of Shaanxi to replace He Renlong. You are a person of achievement, but don't live up to the expectations of the court, and the expectations of the governor are good. ”
Gao Jiexi descended from the sky, and in the jealous and disbelieving eyes of his colleagues, he knelt down and kowtowed desperately, and said with tears of gratitude: "The last general thanks the governor for his cultivation, the governor is very kind, and the last general is broken bones, and it is difficult to repay it in case." The last general will definitely do his best to serve the adults. ”
Sun Chuanting asked him to get up, and said warmly: "General Gao is loyal and good, the governor knows it, you have the heart to serve the imperial court, and the governor is very pleased." In the future, to exterminate the thieves, we still need to rely on General Gao. ”
He looked at the generals in the hall: "You must also rely on many generals, and this governor will always be rewarded for his merits, and punished for his mistakes!" For those who have meritorious service in suppressing thieves, the governor will not hesitate to recommend rewards, and reward more than 1,000 silver medals, which is for all the kings! If there are those who neglect military orders and are ineffective in combat, the three-foot Qingfeng Shangfang Sword of the Governor is especially there! ”
Speaking of this, he was already full of voice, everyone in the hall was listening with their hands down, not daring to look up at Sun Chuanting's face, after listening to his lecture, they all said neatly: "The teachings of the governors, the last generals and others must be kept in mind, and they must die for the court." ”
Then when Sun Chuanting left his seat, all the generals bowed down and sent each other off, and it was not until long after Sun Chuanting left that they withdrew from the White Tiger Hall in turn. One by one, they were called by Sun Chuanting to give a separate lecture, and they were both encouraged, so that they could understand the methods of Governor Sun.
In particular, Gao Jie, the new Shaanxi commander-in-chief, was received alone for a longer time, which made many people secretly jealous, but he didn't expect that as soon as He Renlong died, this kid was developed, and he really stepped on the corpse of his boss.
……
This meeting was thrilling, and Governor Sun taught these proud soldiers a good lesson, and left a deep impression on the general officers and generals of the towns, and everyone was either afraid or excited.
After the news came out, it was also the Guanzhong earthquake, the entire Qin land shook, and even the tide quickly spread to all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
When the information was handed over to him by the intelligence department, Wang Dou was silent for a while, and finally said lightly: "It's not a pity that He Renlong died, he should have died a long time ago!" ”
For the warlords of the Ming Dynasty, who had the courage to abuse the people and were cowardly in the war, Wang Dou did not have the slightest good impression, and their life was an injustice to the loyal and righteous soldiers in the bloody war, and a humiliation to Yang Guozhu, Jin Guofeng, Cao Bianjiao, Wang Tingchen and others.
Moreover, these warlords are very harmful, and the cruelty and abuse of the people are just idle. Even at the turning point of the national crisis, the corruption of national affairs has played a direct role in fueling the flames, and even taking a sharp turn for the worse, such as the four towns of Nanming.
If it weren't for the surrender of Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and others, the Qing army would not have gone south so easily, and if it wasn't for Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, the Jianghuai defense line would not have collapsed so easily. 1. Surrender to the enemy. But it is the most vicious.
Zuo Liangyu slaughtered the entire Wuchang City, and after Liu Liangzuo surrendered to the Qing army with 100,000 soldiers, he besieged Jiangyin County with tens of thousands of soldiers as a pawn. Repeated attacks are unfavorable. also has a face to make "Persuasion Folk Song". hoped that Jiangyin would surrender, and loudly persuaded Huang Degong to surrender.
After Li Chengdong, the general soldier of Xuzhou, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he besieged Yangzhou with all his might. Liu Zeqing only knew about the plunder, and this person would be avenged, and the military discipline of his department was corrupted, and everything he went was burned and looted.
When the Duoduo soldiers besieged Yangzhou and Shi Kefa sent troops to rescue the towns, Liu Zeqing's choice was to escape to Huai'an in the north, and then sail and escape into the sea, and then come back to surrender to the Qing army, and was willing to be a pawn of the horse, the same animal.
Gao Jie is not a good thing, he is perverse, difficult to control, loot and burn everywhere along the way, smoke and fire everywhere he goes, zombies everywhere, and finally die in the arms of a prostitute.
The four towns of the Southern Ming Dynasty are too far behind the four towns of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the character of these warriors at the end of the Ming Dynasty is really too poor. The demise of Nanming is also directly related to these warlords, and they must account for at least eighty or ninety percent of the responsibility.
The generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty, maybe only Huang Degong is a little better, but it is useless and difficult to support alone, so Wang Dou pays great attention to educating new-style soldiers, and also pays attention to not having warlords under his rule, and it is also his responsibility to eliminate warlords everywhere in the future.
Martial arts people are in trouble, this is very terrifying, literati nature has a sense of closeness to order, people's livelihood, consciously and voluntarily maintain order, martial artists like chaos, the country they rule, nine out of nine, is also poor, backward, chaotic, the people have no sense of security.
Don't expect the warriors to have a pioneering spirit when they become a country, in fact, they are more repressive and conservative at home, just trying to maintain their rule. Countries that are rich in civilization and have a pioneering spirit are in fact countries that are governed by mature civil officials.
Of course, if one family is dominant, it will lose its balance, and it will become conservative and introverted, only seeking to maintain its own power internally, and excluding all new affairs, which is also the reason why Song Ming is introverted.
Therefore, the warlords must be eliminated, and the new-style martial arts group must also be cultivated, and one must not dominate.
Looking at the information in his hand, Wang Dou finally looked at Wen Daxing, He Renlong is dead, as a more animal Zuo Liangyu, what reason does he have, what qualifications does he have to live?
At the same time, Wang Dou thought in his heart that Sun Chuanting's courage was indeed optimistic about him, and hoped that he would have the ability to hold Shaanxi, protect the flanks of the Duhufu, and buy time for his accumulated strength.
……
Holding heavy troops, unruly, known as the long-legged general He Renlong was cut by the newly appointed Sun Chuanting, not to mention how there was a lot of discussion in the market and how there were endless arguments in the officialdom, but through He Renlong's head, Sun Chuanting easily established his position in Shaanxi.
The generals were even more afraid, and obeyed his military orders awe-inspiringly, and wherever He Renlong's head went, the troops were terrified, and they did not dare to look up to Sun Duchen.
He Renlong's death did not bring much turmoil, and his cronies, such as Zhou Guoqing and Wei Dahengren, were cut down by Sun Chuanting in the governor's mansion, and He Guoxian and Gao Jinku did not come forward, and when they heard that He Renlong died, they fled to Jingyang with hundreds of elite soldiers, wanting to take their children and make trouble with thieves.
However, as early as when he was preparing to act, Sun Chuanting had a secret discussion with Feng Shikong, and sent Sun Shoufa, the general of the Fubiao Battalion, to enter Jingyang first, congratulate Guoxian's wife, Guoxian was poor, and plotted to behead Gao and enter the warehouse. Feng Shikong secretly heard that he entered the warehouse, and Gao entered the warehouse to behead He Guoxian and sent a letter to his head.
In addition, the new commander-in-chief Gao Jie took the lead and forcefully suppressed the signs of chaos under his command, Gao Ruli, He Yong, Dong Xueli and others were still deceased, and soon the local situation in Shaanxi was calm.
After the unification of the military and government of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting was able to implement his own revenge in a big way, he served as the governor of Shaanxi for several years, and was familiar with all kinds of local affairs, so he only read the official documents of recent years, and was familiar with the situation of the blank period in recent years.
He was determined to train the new army in Shaanxi, but in the current situation, he had money but no food.
In fact, Shaanxi's taxes are good, the statistics of the early years of Wanli are 690,000 stone wheat in the summer tax, 1.4 million meters of autumn grain, and there are a lot of silk cotton farmers and mulberry what, among the northern provinces, second only to Shanxi.
In the sixth year of Wanli, Shanxi Tianfu totaled 2.1 million taels of silver, more than 400,000 yuan of inner summer tax, and more than 1.6 million yuan of autumn grain. There are still many places in the Ming Dynasty, such as Shanxi, more than 800,000 yuan of the central treasury were shipped in the sixth year of Wanli, accounting for 39% of the total taxes, and more than 1.2 million taels were retained, accounting for 61% of the total taxes.
The proportion of Shaanxi and Shanxi is about the same, of course, the two places are more retained, but also because of the need to supply grain and salary to the border towns.
Just like Yansui Town, their own grain is only more than 60,000 stone a year, and the political departments of Shaanxi and Henan have to transport 305,000 stone of grain and 500,000 bundles of grass a year.
Ningxia Town, Shaanxi Province also sent 130,000 stones of grain and 185,000 bundles of grass.
There are also Gansu Town, Guyuan Town, and Shaanxi Buzheng Division, respectively, to transport 310,000 stone of grain and 540,000 bundles of grass, as well as 380,000 stones of grain and 540,000 bundles of grass, and supply to the three sides, which is extremely stressful.
This is still the situation in the Wanli period, and now there is a drought everywhere in Shaanxi, how can there be food to feed the local towns? Especially back then, Sun Chuanting vigorously rectified Tuntian and killed a number of officials and gentry and generals who occupied Tuntian, but now he has only come back a few years, and those Tuntian are occupied by them again.
It's really bearable, it's unbearable!
Also, the emperor allowed Shaanxi to pay taxes for the time being, and used them to support the new army, but these taxes were temporarily mortgaged to Xuanfu Town.
Moreover, in Sun Chuanting's imagination, he will pay off the loan in the future, and he will still be of great use for these taxes, but now the fields are widely occupied, and the gentry are evading taxes, and the arrears are accumulated year after year, and the taxes in Shaanxi at this time are less than half of the Wanli years!
A cold light shot out of Sun Chuanting's eyes: "If you eat me, you will vomit it all!" ”
He was determined to check the arrears of taxes, especially from the heads of the gentry and officials, after all, the small people were screaming, and how many arrears could be collected from them? The gentry is the big one.
These silverfish of the country, eating and drinking the country for so many years, it is time for them to dedicate.
Moreover, he also has a plan, why is Xuanfu Town small and rich? He knows it!
It's just that when he imagined to confide, the most determined staff members around him were shocked: "What, check the tax arrears of the gentry over the years...... Also, from next year, the gentry in Shaanxi will pay grain in one piece? Please think twice, if you dare to do so, the public will fall into a state of no return! ”
Sun Chuanting laughed: "Yes, so-and-so is to collect the old tax, and even more so to the gentry to pay the grain in one piece!" What is the end of the catastrophe? A certain Sun Chuanting thought he was dead a long time ago, and every day he lives now is earned, earned! ”
He laughed loudly: "If I can save Da Ming in this way, why should I be afraid of death?" (To be continued.) )
