Although Shen Shuren didn't want to be led by Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou had just been destroyed and surrendered to the enemy, and the court still had the last bit of residual inertia, so he still had to give face on the bright side.

In addition, this time it was not Chongzhen who personally gave him an order, but it was conveyed euphemistically by Yang Sichang.

Shen Shuren did not inherit Chongzhen's "national grace" much (his initial official was bought with money, and the first official was not a person who entered the imperial examination, and the degree of acceptance of the emperor's favor was not as good as that of the person who entered the imperial examination), but Yang Sichang still promoted him at the beginning.

If it weren't for Yang Ge Lao's energy, in the twelve and thirteenth years of Chongzhen, Shen Shuren did not rise so fast.

This point is seen by discerning people, if Shen Shuren suddenly turns his face, it is not conducive to him to win people's hearts in the future.

No one will really work for a mean and unkind leader.

Therefore, no matter how many higher priority things there are at the moment, Shen Shuren has to deal with Yang Sichang's envoy first.

……

Early the next morning after returning to Wuchang, Shen Shuren met with the envoy sent by Yang Sichang, Shi Langzhong, an official of the Nanjing Military Department, and Wan Yuanji, who had just been renovated in the Anhui Fu Yamen, which had just been renovated.

The traditional Anhui Fu yamen should be set up in Luzhou Mansion, for example, Shen Shuren's predecessor Shi Kefa is based in Hefei County, Luzhou Prefecture.

However, this kind of detail, the imperial court will not care too much, and Shen Shuren adjusted the station, also because the area of his governor has far exceeded the scope of Nanzhili.

Even the part in Huguang has reached the five prefectures of Xiangsui Huang and Wuhan, and surpassed the three prefectures of Anluchi in the territory of Nanzhili, and it is normal to move to Wuchang.

As long as Fang Kongzhi, the governor of Huguang, who is also in Huguang, has no opinion and does not feel that his authority has been weakened, no one will come forward.

Shen Shuren and Wan Yuan Ji are also quite familiar, and they can open the skylight a little bit and say a little bright words, so he doesn't plan to play official from beginning to end.

Wan Yuan Ji is also straight to the point: "Congratulations to Shen Futai for being famous all over the world, since Li Zicheng broke out last month and merged with Luo/Ma Ministry, who in the world does not praise Shen Futai for being Zhuge in the world, Dong Ming Candle Shine, and the enemy is thousands of miles away."

Hearing that His Majesty was in the capital, he was also sighed, and all the ministers in the court and the central government were also asked to read through the "Theory of Thieves" again and again, and His Majesty even asked Beijing officials above the fifth rank to write and submit their experiences in reading "Theory of Thieves" in a recital.

Shen Futai is both civil and military, although the cause of begging for thieves has not yet been completed, the merit of virtue and words has been called the courage of the world! ”

Shen Shuren raised his hand: "Okay, okay, don't put a high hat on me, Yang Ge Lao is making it difficult for Li Zicheng to make it difficult, do you want me to send troops to help in the war?" Wan Jian Jun, there is a sentence that I also treat you as my own, and even more out of respect for Yang Ge Lao, I will say it directly.

There is a cloud in the art of war, and it is better to cut off one finger of the enemy than to hurt ten fingers of the enemy. For thieves, it is necessary to eliminate all evil, uproot one by one, avoid half-heartedness, and block which side is in danger.

Last year, the year before last, we successively killed Liu Xiyao, He Jin, He Yilong, Lin Yangsheng, and now Li Zicheng has helped us destroy Luo Rucai and Ma Shouying.

Zhang Xianzhong is also a hundred-legged insect, it is extremely difficult to completely eliminate, when Chongzhen was eight years, he was the first to dig the ancestral tomb of Fengyang, His Majesty twice issued an edict against himself, once to the ancestor Taimiao oath, kill Zhang Xianzhong and be crowned duke.

Although Li Zicheng killed King Fu and other vassal kings last year, Zhang Xianzhong also killed King Xiang and King Gui, and the severity of their crimes did not change their positions. Now Zhang Xianzhong has become more and more weakened, if he focuses on the siege and pursuit, and unites as one, he will be able to destroy it within a year!

Why do you have to sacrifice the heavy and seek the light, and turn around to deal with Li Zicheng first? For Li Zicheng, in fact, as long as he encircles and defends, so that he does not become bigger, there is no need to rush to attack. ”

Wan Yuan Ji is obviously not as knowledgeable as Shen Shuren, nor as good as Yang Sichang, he is just a rigid supervisor, and he doesn't dare to agree with Shen Shuren's opinion:

"What Futai said, although there is some truth, Li Zicheng's culpability is indeed not greater than Zhang Xianzhong's, but his military strength is strong, shouldn't he focus on dealing with it?

And killing the vassal king is only a serious crime, but the actual harm to the rule of the court is not too great, the key to Li Zicheng is that at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, he killed the second governor in a row! Within three months, the two governors of Shaanxi died at his hands, which Zhang Xianzhong could not do!

The elder of the pavilion has no choice, His Majesty urges him, in order to mourn the second governor in a row! This means that Li Zicheng has been trapped in a province twice in a row! Zhang Xianzhong has been in the past two years, but not a single local governor has been able to kill him! ”

When Shen Shuren heard this, his face also turned cold, no wonder Chongzhen should be damned, that's how he sees the problem? If you can kill a governor, it will be a great threat to the imperial court? Whoever can kill the governor more will have to deal with him first?

Don't you have to be tired!

The key is that the system of the Ming Dynasty is not very flexible, although it is not a bad thing that the emperor is very strong, but when it comes to the critical moment when flexible defense and urgent subordination are needed, this rigidity is easy to be used by the enemy.

For example, in Shaanxi, there have been at least fifteen major natural disasters in the seventeen years of Chongzhen, which is no longer suitable for human existence, and it is destined to starve to death every year with an average of 20% of the population, or be eaten by other people's corpses, and it is not easy for anyone to go.

The population there has been declining annually by 0.8 for fifteen years. Theoretically, to the last 0.8 to the 15th power, the population of Shaanxi when Chongzhen died should be 3.5% when Chongzhen ascended the throne.

Twenty-nine of the thirty people died, leaving behind one-thirtieth of the population, and the Loess Plateau, which was severely eroded, was finally able to carry this ecological balance.

If killing the governor can make the emperor jump to his feet, then Li Zicheng can keep killing the governor of Shaanxi to brush people's heads, brush experience, and level bloodletting.

It's not that Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian can't do it, but who went and who died in this place in Shaanxi at that time. Sun Chuanting is indeed slightly stronger than Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian, but what about after he went to Shaanxi to take over as the governor of the three sides? lasted for a year, and was finally killed by Li Zicheng.

Wan Yuan Ji saw that Shen Shuren fell into deep thought, and he didn't dare to urge him too much, so he had to let Shen Shuren ponder it himself. Now that the situation is turbulent, who knows if there will be another Zuo Liangyu?

Shen Shuren thought for a long time, and secretly wondered in his heart: If the emperor has this attitude, he will have to raise the priority of "begging Zhang Xianzhong" in the future, will he really have to watch Zhang Xianzhong kill a governor?

But the butterfly effect caused by his arrival is already very strong, and Huguang is about to be built into a rich rear base by him, and it is definitely impossible to let Zhang Xianzhong come in and deliberately "trap the governor" and then he will sink the tree and kill him again.

In the Huguang area, the previous major vassal kings and wealthy gentry in Xiangyang, Wuchang and other places were also killed by Zhang Xianzhong. Now the problem of land annexation and concentration has also been alleviated, and the fields of the big landlords whose entire families and clans were destroyed by Zhang Xianzhong can be distributed to the poor for rent.

As for the rich households, rich and big landlords in the five prefectures in the Dabie Mountains, they had been killed by the five battalions of the Revolution before, and the land annexation was also alleviated.

From this point of view, Shen Shuren stands in the position of officialdom, and many things are not suitable for him, such as he can't slaughter the super big landlord and divide the land, and the thief can help him do this kind of thing.

At most, after the thieves leave, Shen Shuren will create a little "bandit" eucalyptus, and then liquidate a few ugly thorns to alleviate social contradictions.

Therefore, the existence of Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk is still valuable - the provinces of the Ming Dynasty have developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and it is best for each province to let butchers like Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng cross the border for a short time, kill a group of large landowners who hoard the most land, and then the official army will immediately recover it, so that the land annexation will also be solved, but the social productive forces will not be excessively destroyed.

If it is occupied by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong for a long time, then the local social productive forces will be completely finished.

Moderate arson, like the ancient bloodletting therapy for patients with high blood pressure, is good for health. But if you bleed too much, you will be killed just like Washington.

After having this idea, Shen Shuren was also forced to come up with a new plan: he really wanted to deal with Zhang Xianzhong, and he couldn't and didn't need Zhang Xianzhong to harm Huguang again, so he could only find an opportunity this year to induce Zhang Xianzhong to enter Sichuan......

After all, Zhang Xianzhong is now entrenched in the Shennongjia Mountains, east of Huguang, Guangxi and Sichuan, and there is no third way to go.

Of course, if Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, is killed, then Shen Shuren will definitely rush to the aid immediately, chase Zhang Xianzhong into Sichuan, and absolutely not let him destroy Sichuan's productive forces too seriously, as long as he kills a group of top-level landlords such as the King of Shu who are the most angry and hoard the most fields.

Eliminate the big landlords, limit the middle landlords, unite the peasants.

And in history, the remnants of Qin Liangyu and the white pole soldiers who were severely damaged when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan must also find a way to save them.

The most perfect state is that except for people like the King of Shu, everyone else should not die too much. In fact, what can be done in the future depends on the operation.

And once the power of the Shenshu people can enter Shu, there is another advantage, that is, they can reuse the inconvenient transportation and information blockage, and farm behind closed doors to hide their true strength.

The reason why Shen Shuren was forced to make a big effort this time was that, on the one hand, he wrote "The Theory of Thieves", and while he was famous, he also caused responsibility.

On the other hand, it was also because he annexed more unplanned territory last year and overfulfilled his layout, which caused problems with his plan to "hide strength".

Shen Shuren's original plan was to be a "soil emperor in the Dabie Mountains" before Chongzhen's death, taking advantage of the traffic and terrain of the six prefectures in the Dabie Mountains to block the traffic and information, and to farm in a low-key manner and pretend to be pigs and tigers.

However, last year, Li Xiangjun was successfully used to frame Zuo Liangyu to move to the town, and Wuchang and Hanyang were also obtained in advance. It brought huge material benefits to Shen Shuren, and in addition to the iron factory and mine, it also caused his low-key plan to be interrupted.

Wuchang is located in the thoroughfare of nine provinces, where is it so good to block news in the Dabie Mountains on the other side? After occupying Wuchang, others know that you have soldiers and money to take on heavier responsibilities, so how can you pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?

Therefore, taking Wuchang is a double-edged sword, only by finding a larger, topographic and traffic-blocked plate, and also covering the results of farming in Wuchang and other places, can Shen Shuren turn his plan back to the established track.

And Sichuan, which is blocked by traffic, is undoubtedly the best choice - once Zhang Xianzhong enters Sichuan, Shen Shuren blocks Zhang Xianzhong's exit to the east, and Shaanxi in the north will soon be harmed by Li Zicheng. At that time, all the information channels of Sichuan and the central transportation of the imperial court will be in the hands of Shen Shuren.

Even if Shen Shuren wanted to hide it for a year or two and make the outside world think that "how fierce the fighting in Sichuan is now, how huge the rebellious soldiers Zhang Xianzhong has been involved in after entering Sichuan, and the resources mobilized by Shen Futai in Huguang have been filled into the bottomless pit of Sichuan", he can do it completely.

And this time, it can definitely be dragged until Chongzhen dies!

Shen Shuren is not disloyal, he just hopes to better protect the Han people's world, don't be blindly commanded by Chongzhen, and don't waste resources on those mortal battlefields.

After thinking about this self-preservation strategy, Shen Shuren decided to change his rhetoric and talk to Wan Yuan Ji about the deal.

"Wan Jian Jun, the elder of the pavilion wants me to support the battlefield in Henan, and it is also incumbent upon me to receive the favor of the elder of the pavilion. But Huguang is also in trouble now.

And to tell the truth, some of the troops under my command were actually transferred away before to form the newly established Caoshui Division of the Nanjing Household Department, and they also participated in the operation of Liaodong to rescue the remnants of the Hongdu Division.

This officer must always write to Nanjing, transfer back part of the troops of the Caoshui Division, and then take a short rest before sending troops to the north. And during the rest and waiting time before sending out the troops, I also planned to design to beat Zhang Xianzhong once, so that the virtual is real, and the real is false, and after I really go north, Zhang Xianzhong will not dare to act rashly against Huguang. ”
