The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 136 The Frustrated Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng
It cannot be said that his method is not good, this is just a method he used to rejuvenate Daming, the most suitable method at the moment.

Chongzhen had all kinds of mistakes and shortcomings, but it is undeniable that his original intention has never changed, and he has always taken Zhongxing Daming as his own responsibility.

His ability is not as good as his grandfather, his great-grandfather, or his ancestors, but his love for this world is no worse than them.

After Yang Sichang returned to the Ministry of War, he began to deal with the matters arranged by Chongzhen.

There is also a general rule for Sun Jie's reward.

Promoted to the general army of Shaanxi, commanded the soldiers and horses of Shaanxi, and was awarded the title of Hussar General...

I showed the regulations to Chongzhen, and Chongzhen filled in some more.

Sun Jie was appointed as the former general who conquered the captives, and the seal of the former general who conquered the captives was hung.

The general who conquered the captives was a titled general, second only to the heavy-titled general.

There is only one heavy general, and that is the great general.

The Titled General of the Ming Dynasty, also known as General Guayin, was the most respected general in the border defense system of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the "Ming Hui Dian", there are a total of several generals with titles and seals in the Ming Dynasty: General Zhenglu who guarded Liaodong, General Zhenshuo who guarded Xuanfu, General Zhengxi who guarded Datong, and General Zhenxi who guarded Yansui Generals, General Zhengxi in Ningxia, General Pingqiang in Gansu, General Nanzheng in Yunnan, General Pingman in Huguang, General Zhengman in Guangdong and Guangxi, and Deputy General in Jiaozhi.

However, with the passage of time in the Great Ming Dynasty and the old Zhu's family, many titles of generals have been abolished.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, only the former General Zhenglu, General Zhenshuo, former General Zhengxi, General Zhenxi, and General Zhengxi remained.

Among these titled generals, the former generals who conquered captives and generals Zhenshuo had the most gold.

Although Wu and Zu mastered the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, they did not have a title of general.

Logically speaking, the former generals who conquered captives should be awarded to Wu and Zu, and Sun Jie is more suitable for general Zhenxi.

But if Chongzhen did this, it would not be Chongzhen.

Of course he wanted to confer on Sun Jie the former general who conquered the captives, otherwise, why would he hate Wu, Zu and the others?
You must know that Wu and Zu have always regarded the former generals who conquered the captives as taboos. If they were given to Sun Jie this time, the conflict between them and Sun Jie would only increase.

This happens to be in the interests of Chongzhen.

Of course, the rewards are not the only ones.

What's more, he has a lot of autonomy to command the military affairs of Shaanxi, assist in the defense of Shanxi military affairs, and assist the trilateral military affairs, which is equivalent to handing over the two places of Shaanxi and Shanxi to Sun Jie.

Chongzhen also understood in his heart that now the imperial court's soldiers and horses are exhausted, especially in Shaanxi and Shanxi.

Shaanxi is Sun Jie's base camp, since it cannot be restricted directly, why not hand it over to him directly?

Besides, the thieves haven't been wiped out yet.The military affairs in these two places have been entrusted to you, so why don't you put down the bandits?
Anyway, no money or food!
In addition to the military, there are countless other things such as the prince's Shaobao, the python robe, and the gold melon and copper hammer.

There are only a few key positions.

As for letting Sun Jie go south, there is no rush for now.

While the capital was doing these things in full swing, the words that Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun to take a walk had already spread throughout the entire Shanshan area.

……

"Snapped!"

In the front hall of the Fuping Fort Counselor's Mansion, Sun Chuwen suddenly slapped the table next to him, looked gloomy, looked at Sun Jie who was sitting next to him, and said, "Look, look, what is this old fellow Zhou Yanru talking about?

Shaanxi levies an additional tax of [-]% per mu of land, which is really a piece of shit. In Shaanxi, there have been many major and minor disasters in the past few years, and this is added in addition to the three salaries, which is really abominable.

They are a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, warm and prosperous, and every household is a luxury home. Today, they insulted us, damn it, damn it! "

How could Sun Chuwen not hate?
I am from Shaanxi, I have been in Shaanxi all my life, and my roots are in Shaanxi.Now, being treated like this, how can you not be cruel?
Moreover, the rumor also said that the gentry were no exception and had to pay taxes.

In particular, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are so slick and stay out, which makes Sun Chuwen even more disgusted.

Kou Li was sitting at the bottom with the same appearance, his face was very dark and gloomy, and he scolded: "My lord, Zhou Yanru is from Donglin. Back then, our Shaanxi officials were weak in the imperial court, so we had to hug each other to keep warm. What happened? It's a pity that my literary style is not strong in Shaanxi, and the high and important positions of the court officials are all controlled by people from the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise, why would it be here!"

There are also gentry from the Xi'an Mansion and Qin and Shang Dynasties around. When they mentioned this matter, they all gritted their teeth and cursed sharply.

Listening to the cursing voices of these people beside his ears, Sun Jie pinched his chin, trying to figure out some other meaning.

After a long time, he looked around and said, "Everyone, don't you think this is weird?"

"What's so weird about this? Those bastards in the south have been like this for a long time, and they bully no one in our court!" Sun Chuwen scolded first.

"Who would have dared to slander my ancestors when they were in charge of the Heavenly Officials of the Ministry of Officials? Now, it has come down to such a situation!" Sun Chuwen shook his head again and again.

Sun Jie can naturally understand their emotions, no matter what the reason is, the matter is real.

Sun Jie was not annoyed, and explained: "From this incident, I felt a bit of discord.

The words uploaded by the market in the past few days seem to be fueled by someone behind the scenes, and they are extremely targeted, almost directed at us! "

The people present were not stupid, seeing what Sun Jie said, they almost thought of something.

Sun Chuwen was the first to react, and said, "You mean, the court did this on purpose?!"

"I can't say for sure, this matter is too confusing. But it is certain to add fuel to the flames.

However, it is impossible to levy a one percent tax per mu of land.Shaanxi is barren and the people are displaced. How can it be possible not to send more disaster relief, but also to levy more taxes! "

Sun Jie shook his head and didn't care.

Kou Li asked with some concern: "What if it is really added? A few years ago, when the banditry was not so fierce, the imperial court even sent special tax officials to collect taxes from each household. People make up."

Sun Jie looked at Kou Li, why didn't the little Jiujiu in this guy understand?
"No, why pay!"

Sun Jie directly denied it.

Kou Li breathed a sigh of relief, and so did everyone else.

Seeing them like that, Sun Jie only felt it was funny.

Just because they escaped the court's taxation today, doesn't mean they will be able to avoid Sun Jie's taxation in the future.

Personal income tax, property tax, value-added tax and other taxes are waiting for them.

In fact, the three rates levied by the imperial court have nothing to do with them.

The money and food are basically paid by the self-cultivating farmers.They are gentlemen, basically there is nothing wrong with them.

Those small landlords who have fallen will be affected, and the big families like the Kou family that have been passed down for hundreds of years are basically not affected.

People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, where do these gentry have time to calm down? !

A few days later, a team came from the east.

The leader was Cao Huachun, who led a large group of people towards Xi'an Mansion.

This time, I came here to announce the reward.

Soon after, he entered Xi'an Mansion.

There are many rewards, but few real goods.

The whole article did not mention such substantive things as military pay, food, etc., all of which are illusory things.

Especially the former general who conquered captives and the corresponding seal made Sun Jie instantly think of the rumors circulating in Shaanxi a few days ago.

If it was just a conjecture before, now it seems that it must be Chongzhen's handwriting to fan the flames and sow discord.

Also, Liaodong and Shaanxi, he can't command people from these two parties. If they act together, he will be the emperor.

In Sun Jie's residence, Sun Jie sat on the main seat in the front hall, holding the "big seal of the former general who conquered the captives" and watched carefully.

A lot of braziers were placed in the room to dissipate a lot of cold air.

Sitting next to him, Cao Huachun said with a smile: "This time, the emperor paid his fortune to take charge of the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi and Shanxi, and he also got the seal of a former general who conquered captives. This is a rare good thing in the world!"

Sun Jie put the former General Zhenglu in his hand on the table beside him, and said, "Elder-in-law, if I'm not mistaken, this former general Zhenglu should belong to the soldiers and horses guarding Liaodong, right?

I am from Shaanxi, where are the Hulu?Jianlu should not be conquered by me! "

Embarrassed, Cao Huachun laughed, and said, "General Sun was joking, this ex-convict general is not exclusive to Liaodong. The world is so big that those who are able will live there, and those who are capable will live here!"

"Hahaha, what a capable person!" Sun Jie laughed twice.

To be honest, Sun Jie really doesn't care about this title.

Even if the soldiers and horses in Liaodong are unhappy, so what?
"I still have something to do, so excuse me first!"

Sun Jie carried the big seal and walked towards the backyard.

Cao Huachun led the people away resentfully.

A few days later, another team came from Tongguan.

The leader of this team is Sun Chuanting, who returned from Desheng this time and was received by Chongzhen.

However, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Because Chongzhen met him not because of the heads of slaves he captured, but because of Sun Jie.

To be precise, Chongzhen gave him a task to monitor Sun Jie.

At the same time, he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, concurrently the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, promoted to governor of Shanxi and governor of Shanxi.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Youdu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are additional titles, which are meaningless. Only the Governor of Shanxi Province and Governor of Shanxi Province is powerful, and he is a proper official in Xinjiang.

The official was promoted, but Sun Chuanting was not happy.

If it was because of his achievements, or because of his ability, he would naturally not say anything.

But the reason for his promotion was Sun Jie.

This makes people uncomfortable.

The head of Jiannu was captured because of the weapon that Sun Jie sold him.

The promotion was also because of Sun Jie.

Ordinary people are fine, but for a capable person like Sun Chuanting, it's like eating fly droppings.

Especially seeing the faces of Zhang Zhiji and Yang Sichang in the capital after receiving rewards for their meritorious service, they feel that the government has no light and the world is cold.

They can make a fart, all of which are bought with money.

In this world, the credit for spending money is greater than that of the one who risked his life, and the rewards he receives are also greater than his. How do you balance this in your heart?

All of a sudden, I feel that the government is dark.

"Before the new year, there will be great victories, and there will be heroes everywhere in the court.

Competent officials are tired of wind and snow, and they are not as good as courtiers who buy meritorious officials! "

Sun Chuanting was riding on the horse, lamenting again and again.

Like him, there is another Lu Xiangsheng.

This ferocious man who should have died in the battle at Julu lost his usefulness at this time.

After losing the important position of the court, I wanted to go back to my hometown in Yixing.

But when he came out, he made an oath in front of his father's grave that he would go this time to defend the country and eradicate thieves, to live up to the country and society, and to live up to the kindness of the Ming Dynasty's supporters for more than two hundred years.

What now?
He became a joke.

In the capital, it is useless.

How do you tell your father when you go back?How can I face the elders of Yixing?
People ask, do you still say that they are not reused by the court because of sycophants taking power?

It's a laughing stock after all.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to do this either, so he went to the Ministry of War to find Yang Sichang.

But Yang Sichang has been respectful before and after, and now he has credit in his hand, and he has "befriended" Sun Jie. He, Lu Xiangsheng, is a fart, so naturally he was left out in the cold.

He even asked his servants to pass on the message, "Lord Lu, go on your own, the court's official food does not support idlers."

This sentence completely angered Lu Xiangsheng, a tall man of eight feet.

Wasn't I, Lu Xiangsheng, the co-author who worked hard on the battlefield back then? !Is it wrong to co-author me to sell my life? !
Dissatisfied, he wrote to Chongzhen to meet His Majesty.

Chongzhen thought of Lu Xiangsheng's previous contributions, so he approved his request to see him.

When seeing Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng burst into tears, telling how difficult he was in the past, when the court had no food and money, he forced a team to fight with the thieves.

In the past, when you established slaves and invaded the bandits, Your Majesty ordered you to rush to the battlefield regardless of your father's bones.

There is no need for a minister now, so I have to give an explanation, right?Can't just leave the minister here and ignore it?

Even if you don't give an explanation, you still have to respect the credit you made before, right?

It can't be dismissed with "the court's official food does not support idlers", right?
It must have chilled people's hearts!
Who is Chongzhen?

He is a person who is cold by nature, mean and ungrateful, who employs others and looks forward to others.

Originally, Chongzhen still thought of Lu Xiangsheng's achievements, but after hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, Chongzhen became angry.

Okay, you are a courtier, you don't obey orders well, and you even question me?
Now that Jiannu is retreating, you don't write a book and retire, and you blame Shangzhen, so you treat me like this?

Inside and outside the words, it also reveals grievances towards me, dissatisfaction with me, and dissatisfaction with me?

Okay, okay, you are a courtier, don't you think you won't turn around if the court is gone?

Therefore, under the outburst of Chongzhen's anger and the slander of Yang Sichang and others, Lu Xiangsheng was directly expelled from the capital.

If there were no soldiers in hand and no one to use before, Chongzhen would give Lu Xiang a little favor.

I don’t need you now. If you are stable and obedient, I will give you some face. If you are not obedient, and you are not put in jail, it will be considered the credit for taking care of you before. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?
Chongzhen is such a person, isn't Yuan Chonghuan a bloody example back then?
Chongzhen forced Yuan Chonghuanling to abandon the city under the begging of Liaodong soldiers, Jiliao soldiers and many courtiers.

Yuan Chonghuan made some contributions anyway, but Chongzhen didn't care about that, Jiannu had just retreated, and he couldn't wait to abandon him to Ling Chi.

Can't wait for a day, so impatient, it's no wonder that Zu Dashou would go straight back to Shanhaiguan at that time.

At that time, Yuan Chonghuan had great prestige among the soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and he always had to consider the current situation when doing things.

Chongzhen didn't care who said to kill, he would do it at will!
