Chapter 35: Unidentified Treasures?
Xi'an, Shaanxi Governor's Mansion
Although Sun Chuanting had the support of King Qin, he was at a loss when he saw the mess left by the former governor of Shaanxi, and the popular uprising in Shaanxi seemed to be not accidental, Sun Chuanting thought in his heart.
It turned out that the former governor Hu Tingyan was old and mediocre, and could not hear any bad news, as long as there was a government, the county officials reported to him the theft of thieves everywhere, and the first thing he thought of was not how to deal with it, but adopted the doctrine of self-deception and non-recognition.
For Hu Tingyan's practice of doing nothing, Wang Er and others in Baishui were really overjoyed, and praised Hu Tingyan as "the virtuous master of the provincial city", under the laissez-faire of such a confused official, these people directly robbed the prison in Yijun County without scruples, and even joined Wang Jiayin in northern Shaanxi, and the two of them pointed directly at Yan'an Mansion with Wang Jiayin as the leader of the righteous army.
Shaanxi's officers and troops have long been rotten, and this is something he deeply realized when he was at the Daming Border Army Command College, not to mention some of the county officials' arrests, which were actually directly captured by some peasants who had just put down their hoes, and the officers and troops were actually defeated and retreated......
Sun Chuanting found a thing, it was not only the hungry people who rebelled, but more and more court rebels also joined the rebel team, because Shaanxi is close to Mongolia, there are many soldiers who live in extreme difficulty, and the Ming Dynasty has Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan and other border towns near the frontier areas in the northwest region, and a large number of troops are stationed. And basically some of their military salaries are in arrears for a year or two, so it is no wonder that these soldiers do not rebel.
It seems that things here in Shaanxi are not as easy as I thought, when Sun Chuanting was sitting on the chair and having a headache, suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind: yes, how did he forget him, and immediately stood up and shouted to the door: "Someone!" ”
After the pro-army outside the door responded, Sun Chuanting hurriedly ordered: "Go and ask Lord Hong Chengchou, the governor of Shaanxi, to participate in politics." ”
Hong Chengchou was born as a Jinshi, and his insight into many things is still above Hu Tingyan, so during Hu Tingyan's reign in Shaanxi, he was quite disliked, and even was beaten by Hu Tingyan because of the frequent thieves who were a sign of rebellion among the people, and the relationship between the two became more and more tense since then.
Faced with the predicament of the displaced people in Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou had the intention to quell the rebellion, but he was just a governor of grain and participated in politics, so he had to write a fold at home, thinking in his heart, it seems that he can only entrust this fold to the imperial history Wu Huan to be forwarded to His Majesty, and His Majesty will judge it!
Just as Hong Chengchou put down his pen, a subordinate came to report: "Master, the governor invites you to the house."
"Tell him that I'm still sick, and I'll visit the governor another day."
Hong Chengchou didn't raise his head when he heard the word governor.
Hong Chengchou's subordinate Zhang Wu has been by his side for a long time, and he has won Hong Chengchou's trust, so he naturally knows Hong Chengchou's thoughts, and said: "Master, Hu Tingyan, that foolish official, has gotten out, it is the newly appointed governor Sun Chuanting, Lord Sun, please come over."
"Tell him to wait a moment, and I'll come later."
Hearing that it was the new governor, Hong Chengchou suddenly rose to hope that the situation in Shaanxi would change, I hope this is a good start, Hong Chengchou thought in his heart.
Ten miles outside the city of Zunhua, in the Yellow Dragon Tent
Huang Taiji looked at the grizzled Amin and Mang Gurtai and asked, "So, did you even reach Zunhua City before the Ming army bombarded it?" ”
Huang Taiji's voice was not loud, and even a little calm, but it didn't sound like that at Amin and Mang Gurtai, after all, it was a fact that he lost the first battle, but as a pioneer, he frustrated Dajin's spirit, and he couldn't wait to find a crack to get into at this time.
When the two were thinking about how to answer, it was Huang Taiji's son Hao Ge who spoke for the two: "Father Khan Rongyu, I think it is because the two uncles have been tired of running around in recent days, and the Ming army's Chenggao firearms have a greater advantage, so a temporary defeat will be able to win in one fell swoop when they regroup."
Haoge is also selfish to speak for the two, in recent days, he has been looking down on the fourteenth uncle has been more and more relied on by the emperor Taiji, and now he is beginning to show his strength on the battlefield, and Amin and the two have always been on bad terms with Dolgon, so Haoge wants to gain the favor of the two, and it is best to win the support of the two blue flags in order to make plans in the future.
Sure enough, hearing Hauge say this, Amin and Mang Gultai cast grateful glances at him.
At this time, Shuo Zhi, who had always been good friends with Dolgon, said: "Having said that, we can't afford to delay, if we wait for the reinforcements from all walks of life of the Ming army to arrive, it would be good if we could retreat with our whole body."
Although Shuo Tuo is Dai Shan's second son, because he has made meritorious contributions to following Dai Shan's crusade against the Khalkha Bahrain Department and the Zalu Special Department, he was promoted to Baylor for his military merits as early as last year, so he naturally doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks.
"Shuo's words are reasonable, we really can't afford to go deep alone, so we must take Zunhua City as soon as possible, otherwise let alone march into Beijing, whether we can successfully withdraw to Liaodong is a problem."
Huang Taiji is also a man of great talent, so he is relatively clear about the overall situation on the battlefield, so he is also in a hurry to make a quick decision.
"Great Khan, please give me another chance, I will definitely take Zunhua tomorrow."
At this time, Amin was also out of the way, and he had never fought such a battle, so he wanted to find his way back as soon as possible.
Brother Hao also spoke: "Father Khan, the son asks to fight with the two uncles tomorrow. ”
"Alright, you all go down first, and I'll think about it, and we'll talk about it again when the three of Dorgon come back."
Huang Taiji waved his hand and said.
Seeing that Huang Taiji issued an eviction order, everyone withdrew from the Yellow Dragon Tent one after another.
The three of Dolgon were not idle when Amin and others attacked Zunhua, and the soldiers with two white flags looted all kinds of materials in Jizhen, and collected all kinds of food, clothing, horses and other things, but they made a lot of money, I have to say that just when Dolgon took people to count the supplies, there was a sudden shout from the front.
"Fourteenth Master, the front sergeant Jizhen Mansion has found something good, go and take a look!"
It was the yellow flag of Ao Bai who spoke, since the last time the two of Longjing Pass fought side by side, Dolgon had the intention of loving talents, and after obtaining the permission of Huang Taiji, he left Ao Bai by his side to do things.
"Oh, go check it out". So saying, the two of them arrived on horseback.
Dolgon and Ao Bai flew off their horses, and Ao Bai led Dolgon forward, leading the way and shouting, "Get out of the way, let the Fourteenth Master go in and have a look."
The two white-flag warriors outside the treasury quickly made way for Dolgon and the others to pass, and following the direction pointed by Aobai, Dolgon's eyes were directly fixed on the things in front of him, and he couldn't move anymore.
