The first wind and rain drifted away

Yulin, Shaanxi Province, is located between the Loess Plateau and the Mu Us Sandy Land, and is the junction of the Loess Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau.

It faces the Yellow River and Shanxi across the river in the east, Ningxia and Gansu in the west, Yan'an in the south, and Ordos in the north.

During the Chengzu period, the imperial court built a city here, and since then it has become Yansui Town, an important town on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, also known as Yulin Town.

Today, it has become the residence of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi.

In front of the government square of Yulin Town, a banner was set up high, and five big characters were written on it: "Sun of the Governor of the Four Provinces".

At the entrance of the palace, there were several fierce soldiers, wearing helmets and armor, holding waist knives, and their eyes scanned the surroundings sharply, and they looked at the strong soldiers who had been fighting for a long time.

They were the Guanning Iron Cavalry who followed Cao Bianjiao.

In the hall of the mansion, Governor Sun, who had a clear face, was dressed in a crane supplement uniform, wearing a black gauze hat and sitting on the back of the big case, and Cao Bianjiao and Sun Shoufa were lined up on the left and right.

There was also a middle-aged staff member who had been found out of nowhere, and the four of them were discussing something.

This scene is a bit shabby, there is no style of the governor of the four provinces at all, and it looks like a county government in a lower county.

No way, don't blame others, it's his own doing.

Originally, as the governor of several provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, and Huguang, Lao Sun was supposed to handle military affairs in provincial capitals or important state capitals.

Instead of going to the bitter cold land of the border pass, the wind and rain and the sun.

However, Lao Sun is very human, he is a special person, so he naturally has his plans.

He rested for many years, responded to the call of Emperor Chongzhen, and re-entered the officialdom, not to be an official, but to save the great tomorrow.

The goal is ambitious, the task is arduous, but the reality is cruel.

The trilateral governor Hong Chengchou was very enthusiastic and welcoming to his arrival, but he was even more guarded.

Stepping into the circle of fame and fortune of officialdom, whether he wants it or not, the struggle always exists.

To be honest, Governor Sun has Shang Fang's sword in his hand and is not afraid of Hong Chengchou.

The problem is that he has been away from officialdom for too long, and it is the first time that he has been decentralized, and he has no one at hand, let alone time.

Besides, it is impossible for him to fight with Hong Chengchou and bring the lawsuit to the Son of Heaven after only a few days, which is not good-looking, indicating that he is incompetent!

So, as in history, he chose a path to start his own business.

Those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals will be left to Hong Chengchou.

The reason why Yulin Town was chosen was to avoid Hong Chengchou; The second is to recruit soldiers.

Seriously speaking, since the pre-Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, the children of Guanzhong have always been the first choice for excellent soldiers.

But why did Lao Sun choose to recruit troops in Yulin?

This is precisely the uniqueness of his vision, and it is also the reason why Qin Bing is famous in the future.

Lao Sun keenly discovered from the past battle reports that it is true that the children of Guanzhong are fierce, but don't forget that the traitors are also the majority of the children of Guanzhong.

As a result, strange scenes often occur on the battlefield.

When the two armies faced each other, they greeted each other, even threw their cattle and baggage, and deliberately let the thieves go, calling it a "live battle".

The soldiers of the border army did not understand the language with them, and they killed the thieves when they saw them, so they often won battles.

This is the reason why Lao Sun does not recruit children in the local area.

And Lao Sun chose to recruit troops in Yulin, which is even more particular.

First, it is naturally because of Yulin's military resources.

Perhaps influenced by the arrogance of the Great Qinling Mountains, the people who live in the valley seem to have a fierce personality in their bones since they were born.

When a battle starts, men, women, and children go into battle together, and a single shout can mobilize a large group of relatives, and even if the defense line is broken every time, it will not be long before they gather again.

The second and most important reason is that the Yulin people and traitors have a common enmity.

To say the opposite, it should be that the traitor and the people of Yulin have a common enmity.

Why is that?

In the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other traitors captured Fengyang, the central capital, and dug the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family.

Is this worth it?

He Shiyu, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, immediately led the army to find and dig up the ancestral graves of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in Yansui and other places.

The ancestral graves of these two big thieves, one in Mizhi and the other in Suide, happen to be within the jurisdiction of Yansui Town.

Therefore, Li Zicheng, who was dug up his ancestral grave, personally led his troops to attack the Yulin Acropolis, the seat of Yansui Town, several times, and the people of Yulin swore to resist to the death.

Although He Shiyu, the chief soldier of Yansui, is a mediocre person, he has a son who can fight very well, called He Renlong.

Of course, He Shiyu and He Renlong's father and son could not surrender to the thieves, so they could only fight with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to the end.

Fighting, as casualties appeared, the two sides became mortal enemies.

Lao Sun has never held a position in Shaanxi in the past, but he can find these and use them, what kind of ability is this?

Therefore, there is no fluke in success!

In the palace, the staff was reporting to Governor Sun, and the superintendent of the army, Yu Shi Ma Mao, impeached Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui.

It is said that the thieves of the three guards of Yansui are rampant, and the governor Yue Hesheng turns a blind eye and does nothing, so that the guards are slackened and the soldiers flee, and the general soldier of Yansui, He Shiyu, is resigned to it and is helpless.

"Please order the emperor, and the Ministry of Officials ordered the governor of Yansui Yue Hesheng to be dismissed.

He Shiyu, the commander-in-chief of Yansui, reprimanded and punished him for staying in office, and ordered him to restrain his troops and cooperate with Ma Maocai to rectify military discipline. ”

After hearing this, Governor Sun's face sank, and he shouted loudly.

Actually, Lao Sun is preparing to occupy the magpie's nest.

It is also the first fire for a new official to take office.

He has only been in Yulin Town for a few days, and he doesn't know the situation at all, and he doesn't let people investigate, and now he only listens to one-sided words, and he takes down Yue Hesheng, the governor of Yansui, isn't that exactly what it means?

In a word, it doesn't matter if it's yes or no, the important thing is that there is a reason for it.

His grandson has always paid attention to thunderbolt methods.

The staff nodded and agreed, and went to write the recital.

"General Cao and General Sun, the two of you will recruit troops in Yansui Sanwei as soon as possible, and strive to recruit 30,000 soldiers. Anyone over the age of 16 and under the age of 30 can sign up.

Once hired, the salary is three taels of silver, and the family is exempted from miscellaneous labor. ”

Sun Chuanting instructed Cao Bianjiao and Sun Shoufa.

This is his own recruitment policy.

The emperor not only gave him 500,000 taels of silver, but also gave him a policy that allowed him to use a variety of forms to raise funds on his own to recruit troops and horses, and the court did not interfere.

This is what he is most happy about.

Experience has shown that giving policy is often more useful than giving money.

Policy is a channel for money, with a channel, why worry about no money?

Of course, good policies also need to be implemented.
