Chapter Seventy-Six: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

The first wind and rain drifted away

"Chao General Soldiers, they came with 2,000 soldiers and horses, stationed outside the East Gate City, and brought a letter from the Ministry of War, saying that they were going to hand over the defense of Changping."

The guards whispered.

"Huh?"

Chao Pichang was stunned, he didn't receive a notice from the Ministry of War.

"Drink slowly, this official is on official business, and he is out of company!"

Chao Pichang didn't dare to slack off, and got up and said to everyone at the table.

Anyway, the money has already fallen into the pocket, these businessmen are just fat pigs, there is no need to deliberately envelop them, he naturally focuses on official business.

"Congratulations to Lady Nest!"

Everyone at the table stood up, bowed and said.

These big businessmen, well-informed, have long been accustomed to the ruthless virtue of Ming officials, and it is not surprising that they are not surprised.

It's just that after Chao Pichang left, they glanced at each other, and they understood each other that they were going to use their relationship to find out what the origin of this person named Sun Yingyuan was?

This Changping officialdom has changed, and it is about to start reshuffling again.

At the same time, it also means that you have to spend money to buy peace again.

Especially Fan Zhiliang, the shopkeeper of the Fan family, sighed deeply in his heart, it was not easy to have a good relationship with Chao Pichang, and he had to start all over again.

The generals of the nine towns of the Daming border pass have always been the key targets of the Fan family.

The quality of their business development, whether it is smooth or not, is closely related to these side generals.

It's just that not all people are easy to be bought.

There are hundreds of people with thousands of faces, there are always some alternative people, and there are always some elm pimples.

Downstairs in the Drunken Immortal Residence, Sun Yingyuan saw Chao Pichang, took out the official letter of the Ministry of War from his arms and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the general soldier of Hexi Chao, who has been promoted to the deputy envoy of Jiliao Soldier Beidao."

Thank you for your continued support! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Chao Pichang didn't know what the situation was, his mouth was perfunctory, and he took the letter from the Ministry of War in his hand and looked at it, and his heart suddenly blossomed.

It turned out that, as Sun Yingyuan said, he was promoted and promoted to the deputy envoy of Jiliao Bingbeidao.

Don't look at him now as the chief military officer of the second rank, and the deputy envoy of the military preparation road is only the fifth rank, at first glance, isn't this a demotion?

Not really.

The full name of the military preparation road is the rectification of the military preparation road, and the Ming Dynasty set up the reorganization of the military preparation according to the division of the road in the border and the main roads of the provinces.

It is mainly responsible for managing the military affairs of the jurisdiction, supervising the local army, managing the local soldiers and horses, money and grain, and tuntian, and maintaining local law and order.

More importantly, this position belongs to the civil service system and is under the jurisdiction of the judge.

In other words, the general soldier of the nest has entered the ranks of civil officials from military generals.

This is not very common in Daming.

It is easy to turn a text into a martial arts, but it is too difficult to turn a martial arts into a text.

It's just that the rude Chao Pichang really didn't have a little pressure in his heart, so he didn't want to think about it, why did such a good thing fall on him for no reason?

He doesn't understand that sometimes, if you are too lucky, you will be damned!

"Congratulations also to Mr. Sun, who has been promoted to three levels in a row, and his future is immeasurable!"

Chao Pichang, who was overjoyed in his heart, read the letter from the Ministry of War, and raised his head to say hello to Sun Yingyuan.

The slight unhappiness of being disturbed by him before, has long disappeared without a trace.

It turned out that Sun Yingyuan was promoted from a guerrilla general to a staff general, deputy general, and deputy commander-in-chief, and was directly promoted to the chief officer of Changping in one step, taking over the defense of Changping instead of himself.

It's still a good promotion around the Son of Heaven!

Chao Pichang sighed.

"Don't dare, it's just a fluke!

He also asked the deputy envoy of the nest to give more guidance, so that the last general would be familiar with the defense of Changping, and introduce the generals under his command to know each other, so that they could take care of each other in the future. ”

Sun Yingyuan remembered the emperor's explanation, a sincere smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he leaned over and said to Chao Pichang, who was still overjoyed.

The emperor's original words were: Changping Prefecture will be the bridgehead for Jiannu to go south, and it is also the place where Aiqing will show his strength.

However, Chao Pichang's subordinates were unusable and fornicated with foreign enemies, and Aiqing could be killed and confiscated for military use.

In this way, Chao Pichang's promotion is just a pretense, and he may be imprisoned or even lose his head when he returns to Beijing, the emperor is smart!

"As it should be!

General Sun Bing, please rest assured, this envoy still has a few days to report to the military headquarters. Before that, the envoy must have made a clear handover with General Sun. ”

Chao Pichang, who had just been promoted to the deputy envoy of the military preparation road, was in a happy mood, and patted Sun Yingyuan on the shoulder with a laugh and said.

In his opinion, he is a high promotion, and Sun Yingyuan is ready to reuse his former cronies.

That's a good thing, and it has to be supported not.

Sun Yingyuan smiled and thanked him, and then walked towards the yamen of the official office at the invitation of Chao Pichang.

At this moment, both sides are in the same mood, and they both can't wait to take over their new positions.

Using Sun Yingyuan to replace Chao Pichang to guard Changping Prefecture is just a clever move arranged by Emperor Chongzhen to take advantage of the traverser and build a slave border next year.

Changpyeong's geographical location is key, it is the northern gate of Gyeonggi, and the city defense is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If there is no mole to respond, it is difficult to be defeated.

It's a pity that in history, it was with the help of more than 2,000 traitor troops that Changping was conquered by Jiannu.

After the city was broken, the chief soldier Chao Pichang immediately surrendered as a traitor, and in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he invaded Daming again with Jiannu, which was shameless.

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen did not execute him on the spot like Liu Zeqing was because the border army and the local troops were different.

It's not that I'm afraid of what will happen to him, the current Ming Dynasty, the generals are all weak, and except for Zheng Zhilong, there are no other warlords for the time being.

To deal with him, it's just an official letter.

Now I have taken a circle, mainly to let Sun Yingyuan understand the defense layout and personnel situation of Changping before he can deal with this dog traitor.

Otherwise, by employing tough measures, some unscrupulous people will go into hiding and it will be difficult to identify them.

Emperor Chongzhen still learned this trick from the Celestial Dynasty in later generations.

Whenever an official is dealt with, it is common to raise the official to a higher level or move him elsewhere.

One aspect of the investigation.

The second is to make his henchmen mistakenly think that it is okay or that the old superiors have been promoted, and they can dance more happily, a typical practice of luring snakes out of holes.

Of course, this is a trivial matter in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, and it is insignificant.

What he really cared about was the military reform plan formulated a few days ago after Wuyingdian and the seven Taoist friends unified their thoughts.

This is the foundation of whether the country can survive forever in the future.

To this end, after serving as the head of the anti-corruption team, he also served as the head of the military reform team.

The deputy leader of the group was Li Banghua, the left attendant of the military department, who was responsible for cleaning up and rectifying the Beijing camp.

Originally, it was more appropriate for Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department, to serve as the deputy team leader, but the old man was old and not suitable for such heavy work.

Therefore, his old man, together with the Ministry of Rites, was responsible for the martial arts scientific examination in September of the eighth year of Chongzhen.

The other team members also have tasks on their own, and they are each responsible for a special project.

In short, the military reform proposed by Emperor Chongzhen is destined to be vigorous and eye-catching, which combines the cleaning up of the Beijing camp, the scientific examination of martial arts, the elimination of guard posts, the actual personnel of the nine sides, and the recruitment of new soldiers.
