Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 160 Sun Chuanting

Zhang Zongxian, who received the imperial decree, immediately ordered Zhao's staff to go to clean up the military fields in the guards near Xi'an.

Presumably at this time, there should be nothing blind to dare to ignore the governor's order.

After completing the clearing of the military fields on the three sides of Shaanxi and obtaining 50 shi of grain, Zhang Zongxian immediately accelerated the reclamation of the land near Shuofang, Jiuyuan, and Guihua City.

Taking advantage of the fact that immigrants can replant a season of summer grain in the past, and with the opening of Taiping semicolons in various places, landless farmers from all over Shaanxi are continuously sent to the settlements outside the side wall.

All the military households in the three-sided military town were also revoked from military registration, completely dismantling the military household system.

The original plan was to check the army fields after the autumn harvest. Now that the inspection of the army fields has been completed, the soldiers and horses from the three towns of Guyuan, Ningxia, and Gansu have been transferred out to wipe out the Tartars.

The Legislative Army has re-enacted the military expansion plan. It plans to expand the cavalry brigade to twenty and the garrison infantry brigade to twenty within one year.Expand the field force to 20.

The shelf brigade is expanded to fifty. With the operation of Governor Yanshou in place, and with the support of Governor Yanshou, the entire Yanshou Town will implement the policy formulated by Zhang Zongxian in Qingjian County.

During the slack time after the autumn harvest, each county organizes the young and strong to conduct queue training.The additional costs of these trainings will be borne by Taiping.

In the following days, Zhang Zongxian stayed in Sufang City, training officers in the newly built academy to prepare for large-scale military expansion.

After entering June, the team led by the school's direct disciple Zhou Xiaoning, after experiencing countless failures, manufactured a steam engine that can output power stably.

Originally, Zhang Zongxian thought that without rubber, a usable steam engine could not be made. He just drew a rough diagram and explained the principle, then put it on the college task list and handed it over to his disciples.

Unexpectedly, these disciples actually made the steam engine. The disciple who made the steam engine was the same disciple who made the thermometer at the beginning. They solved the sealing problem by directly dipping a rag in oil.

As for the cylinder body, it is made of new steel refined in Diao Sanyi's workshop in cooperation with Diao Sanyi.

Zhang Zongxian immediately rewarded Zhou Xiaoning's team, and then Taiping invested to build a workshop for the production of steam engines. Taiping held [-]% of the shares in the workshop, Zhou Xiaoning took [-]% of the shares, and the rest was distributed to other team members.

With the steam engine, the production of steam trains was naturally put on the agenda.

Zhang Zongxian summoned the shopkeepers of the four major workshops, showed them the steam engine, and asked them to put the steam engine into production, using the power provided by the steam engine to replace human and animal power.

In July, Zhao's staff completed the inspection of the military fields of the Shaanxi Guard, and obtained more than 45 taels of silver, about [-] shi of natural rice, wheat beans,

At the same time, the construction of the horse-drawn railway from Guihua City to Dongshengwei, and from Dongshengwei to Shuofang City was also completed.

The soldiers and horses of the three towns also returned to their respective camps after sweeping outside the side wall for two months.After two months of mopping up, nearly [-] soldiers and horses were lost in the three towns, and Zhang Zongxian couldn't arrange for them to fight outside the border wall.

Then I thought of another turmoil during Tianqi's reign, the She'an Rebellion.

It seems to be the rebellion that broke out in Chongqing in September this year. This rebellion lasted for 17 years and affected the four provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi, with more than one million casualties. The large-scale fighting lasted for nine years.

This rebellion led to the Ming Dynasty's third-front war. Although it was finally suppressed, it caused great damage to the southwest. Zhang Zongxian, who pursued stability, naturally did not want this rebellion to disrupt his follow-up plans.

Just want to nip this rebellion in the bud.

Sichuan borders Shaanxi, so it is easy to send troops there, but now is the critical moment to control the three sides of Shaanxi. If you want to eliminate the rebellion yourself, you must leave Shaanxi.

After leaving Shaanxi, I was afraid that the cabinet would cause trouble and sent people to make trouble.Without their own support, I am afraid that they will be taken advantage of by political enemies.So I had to recommend other people to go. As for the candidate, Zhang Zongxian thought of Sun Chuanting.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" said that "the death of Chuan Ting means the death of Ming Dynasty".It is enough to prove Sun Chuanting's talent. Let him suppress the rebellion, and he will definitely be able to quickly deal with the rebels. Moreover, Sun Chuanting loves the people and knows the suffering of the people, so he will definitely be able to handle the relationship between the various ethnic groups in the Southwest.

The question now is how to tell Tianqi about this matter. After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zongxian decided to use Emperor Zhenwu to entrust him with a dream. He said that after Dongshengwei recovered, the newly built Zhenwu Emperor Temple strengthened the connection between the human world and the fairy world. him.

Naturally, this kind of thing couldn't be played, so he wrote a letter and asked Wei Zhongxian to play it to Tianqi secretly.

The letter stated that Emperor Zhenwu told Zhang Zongxian in a dream that some chieftains in Sichuan and Guizhou were bewitched by the snow demon and wanted to rebel. In order to prevent accidents, Tianqi sent ministers to prevent them from responding. The three sides in Shaanxi can support 5 troops. go to.

Then Zhang Zongxian recommended Sun Chuanting to Tianqi, saying that this person's talents are enough to deal with the rebellion.

After Tianqi received the letter, he did not dare to neglect the matter of Emperor Zhenwu Tuomeng. As for who to send to deal with it, Tianqi first asked the people from Dongchang to investigate Sun Chuanting to see if Sun Chuanting had contact with Zhang Zongxian.

Dongchang soon reported that Zhang Zongxian had no contact with Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting was in Shangqiu County at the time, and he had some opinions on Zhang Zongxian's appointment as the governor of the three sides. He wrote a poem mocking Zhang Zongxian as a supervisor.

Tianqi felt relieved this time. After all, Zhang Zongxian was already the governor of the three sides. If the person he recommended was of the same mind as him, wouldn't they become one when he took office in the Southwest, because they were afraid of what would happen next time?
Tianqi was also very satisfied with Zhang Zongxian's proposal to transfer the troops from the three sides to Sichuan, saying that Zhang Zongxian was not greedy for power, so Tianqi could rest assured that he would control the three sides by transferring the elite of Zhang Zongxian's men.

Soon Tianqi issued an order to summon Sun Chuanting to Beijing. After Sun Chuanting entered Beijing, Tianqi immediately summoned him. After asking a few questions about the Southwest, Tianqi was also very satisfied with Sun Chuanting, and then notified the cabinet to appoint Sun Chuanting as Sichuan, Guizhou Provincial Governor.

Fortunately, Sun Chuanting was a Jinshi from Zhengjin, and the cabinet did not object to it. Naturally, he was very much in favor of Tianqi's transfer of elites from the three sides to Sun Chuanting.

On the other hand, Sun Chuanting was bewildered. He didn't know why Tianqi had taken a fancy to him, and promoted him as a prefect directly to governor. However, Sun Chuanting didn't get too entangled in this matter.
He began to seriously study the situation in the southwest, because Apocalypse told him that the nobles, the chieftains in Sichuan might rebel, and he was appointed governor to deal with these chieftains.

Yang Yinglong, the chieftain of Bozhou in the Wanli year, rebelled, and the imperial court mobilized more than 20 troops to put it down. Sun Chuanting did not dare to neglect, and seriously thought about how to deal with these chieftains.

　It's so badly written that I can't stand it anymore. The state is really bad.
