Gao Jie also came from the so-called 72th Battalion [-] of the Shaanxi People's Army. His report name was Fanshan Yaozi, but he surrendered to the Ming Army earlier.

Compared with Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, Wang Guangen and others who surrendered and rebelled, Gao Jie can be said to have completely rehabilitated and re-behaved.Whenever there is a battle, it is bound to take the lead bravely and fight desperately.

The reason!To put it bluntly, it is worthless.When this person was a thief, he used to belong to Li Zicheng's subordinates. Back then, Li Zicheng's concubine Xing was in charge of the military resources and provided food for battles every day. Gao Jie was afraid that Li Zicheng would find out, so he stole the Xing family and surrendered. Of course, he couldn't hide what happened in the future. (Anyone who has read Water Margin knows that when Yan Qing was seduced by Li Shishi, she was also very frightened. The boss's woman, is that so easy to touch!?)

The hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife has been irreconcilable since ancient times.Even according to the records in the history of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant army would kill their wives at every turn to show their determination and abandon their burdens.However, the bosses can kill their own women, it seems that there is no saying that the brothers can abduct the boss's women!Li Zicheng was put on such a big green hat by Gao Jie, he was inevitably ridiculed by his brothers in the same camp, how could he let go of it?The other battalion generals can repeat it many times, but he cannot.Because, he has already lost his reputation among his former companions, and there is no way out.This is also the reason why Gao Jie fought bravely every time he encountered a thief.

After years of fighting, Gao Jie also had an irreconcilable conflict with the bandits because of his bravery in battle, so he exchanged the blood and head of his former comrades for the position of lieutenant general.Under He Renlong's subordinates.

Among He Renlong's subordinates, Gao Jie, Gao Ruli, He Yong, Dong Xueli, and more than a dozen generals had a relatively distant relationship with He Renlong. In addition, Gao Jie's own background and military exploits, so in Sun Chuanting's mind, he could entrust him with important tasks. man of.

Only behead He Renlong and his confidantes, and appease General Yu.Let Gao Jie take over the army, and the army can be settled.

Such an arrangement by Sun Chuanting was indeed quite meticulous and thoughtful.

Looking at He Renlong, who was still in high spirits with him for a moment, his head was lifted high with the tip of a gun at this moment.Niu Chenghu and the others couldn't help but tremble with fear, fearing that they would be the next one. "Damn deaf grandson, you are really ruthless!" Although he cursed endlessly in his heart, he was worried that He Renlong's end would be his example.Right now in a dangerous city, ask yourself.How could the hundreds of soldiers brought into the city be the opponents of those recruits who were silent but fought against the enemy like farmers harvesting crops?

All of them are willing to support the soldiers, rely on the soldiers and horses in their hands to threaten the imperial court, extort military pay, and loot counties and counties, but if they really want to join the bandits, or raise troops to rebel, it is not something that idlers can make up their minds.They can threaten the imperial court and make all the officials use their hands to avoid them.But when it comes to that point, many people often don't have the guts to do so, especially for high-ranking generals like them.

So this is a delicate balance, the so-called hemp pole beats the wolf with fear at both ends.But now, this balance was shattered by Sun Chuanting's brute force without hesitation!Don't you just rely on some soldiers and horses in your hands?I have more soldiers and horses than you, and they are more powerful. I just don't like your tricks!Let's see what you can do to me!

Facts have proved that these people are all donkeys from northern Shaanxi, and they are walking backwards.When it is impossible for them to threaten Sun Chuanting.Instead, they went out of their way.When they felt a sharp sword hanging above their heads, and Sun Chuanting could send them to see Madman He at any time, they all immediately turned into good babies, kneeling in front of Governor Sun in fear.

Governor Sun taught these arrogant soldiers a good lesson.It left a deep impression on the officers and generals of the towns, and everyone was either afraid or timid.

Looking at these chief soldiers and deputy generals kneeling at his feet, Sun Chuanting felt heartfelt relief!Quite a bit of the feeling of knowing the joy of being a king today!

He glanced coldly at the people in front of him, and signaled to the military and political department next to him to start reading out the amount of money and food that each department should receive according to the number of soldiers and horses registered in the military book.Next to it, a master copywriter quickly issued a collar, and the generals of each ministry would go to the treasury to withdraw money and food according to the amount on the collar.

On the one hand, He Renlong, who didn't listen to the greeting, has become the head hanging on the high pole.On one side is a large amount of military pay, food and grass received from the master supervisor.This twisting made these generals completely lose their will to fight against Sun Chuanting.

"The towns and battalions received the food, grass and military pay and went back. They must make up the gap within ten days. The governor will send personnel to the camp to check. If there is still a gap, the ministries will reduce the number! The reduced military salary will be used to train and support recruits. !"

"The thieves are endless. Your Majesty's sacred heart is exhausted every day. I have received the grace of the country for generations. Dare to share the sorrows of the Holy One? From now on, military discipline will be the top priority. Those who dare not obey the military orders will be severely punished by the governor. Never lend money!"

"It is our responsibility to comfort the sage and relieve the sufferings of the common people! Congratulations to the generation of dragons, regardless of the emperor's grace, death is not a pity, pass on the order of the governor, and pass on the heads of these thieves to the patrolling three On the side, anyone who dares not to serve the country will end up like this! All the generals should also take warning!"

Speaking of this, he was already stern, and everyone in the hall listened respectfully, not daring to look up at Sun Chuanting's face. After listening to his lecture, they all said in unison: "The governor's teaching, the general will keep it in mind , must die for the court.”

"The governor doesn't want you to die for the imperial court, you just need to obey the imperial court's orders!" Sun Chuanting changed his tone, and looked at the people present rather sadly, his eyes were no longer as sharp and cold as before. .

"You followed the governor and competed with Li Chuang, Cao, Xian and other generations for many years, chasing and chasing the north, and you beat Chuangni many times to the point where only dozens of riders were left in embarrassment! It can't be said that soldiers don't die! It can't be called officials. The army can't fight! But, why in the blink of an eye, Chuangni can engulf tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of refugees?!"

"It is precisely because of natural disasters and man-made disasters that the people cannot survive! Then Li Zicheng was provided with countless soldiers to make him comeback again and again! Even if there is no Li Chuang, there will be Zhang Chuang and Zhao Chuang!"

He paused for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and tried his best to make his face calm down a lot, "Li Chuang and others can lose a hundred times without worrying about it, but they only need one victory! However, our Da Ming army is invincible. Once! If you lose, you will never recover!"

If someone else said these words in front of the generals, these military leaders would have to sneer in their hearts and put on a loyal and righteous look on their faces.All he heard was bullshit!But, right now it doesn't work!He Renlong's head set a good example for everyone, and also served as a good cornerstone for Sun Chuanting's status in Shaanxi and in the entire Trilateral region.

"Yang He Yang, the governor of the three sides, once said something. 'The thieves of the Three Qin Dynasty were extremely poor and hungry, and had nowhere to live. When the soldiers arrived, the heads would return, and when the soldiers left, they would plunder as before. This is an inevitable trend. Real relief, so that they can make a living, and then they are called true disbandment. After the dissolution, they still need to be resettled, and they must be given real cattle, so that they can return to agriculture and resume business, and then they are called real resettlement. If this is the case, the thief will have a happy life. If you don't have a heart to die, you will be caressed if you want to fight. If the bureau is established, the bureau will end." This Governor also believes deeply! The so-called people who have no food will follow the bandits, soldiers who have no food will collapse and become bandits, and bandits will turn into bandits. Leading to a corrupt situation in the world! This governor is determined, instead of just trying to stop the simmering, it is better to draw the fire from the bottom! Give the good people a day to live. Don't make them take risks and be willing to follow the thieves!"

Those who have literary affairs have always been armed, and now that Sun Chuanting has strong soldiers in his hands, he can naturally carry out his so-called literary affairs very well!He decided to start with taxation, farming, etc.!

He had served as the governor of Shaanxi for several years and was familiar with all kinds of local affairs. He even took drastic measures to rectify the farmland and killed a group of officials, gentry and generals who occupied the farmland, which made the farmland in Shaanxi turn from yellow to green.However, now that he has been released from prison for a few years, he finds that the farmland he snatched from the officials, gentry and generals with a big knife back then has been occupied by them again.

As for taxes.It is even impossible to look good on face.

According to the statistics of the fish scale books in the Wanli period, the taxation situation in Shaanxi should be 69 shi wheat in summer, 140 million meters in autumn grain, and a lot of silk and cotton farming and mulberry. Among the northern provinces, it is only a little behind Shanxi.

In the sixth year of Wanli's reign, Shanxi's land tax was converted into a total of 210 million taels of silver, the inner summer tax was more than 160, and the autumn grain was more than 39 million.There are still many places left in the Ming Dynasty, just like Shanxi.In the sixth year of Wanli, more than 120 taels were transported from the central treasury, accounting for 61% of the total taxation, and more than [-] million taels were kept in the local area, accounting for [-]% of the total taxation.

Shaanxi and Shanxi have almost the same proportion of retention.Of course, there are a lot of reserves in the second place, and it is also because of the supply of food and salaries for the border towns.

For example, in Yansui Town, the amount of food stored by itself is only more than 6 shi a year, and the chief ministers of Shaanxi and Henan have to transport 30 shi of grain a year.There are also 50 bundles of grass.

In Ningxia Town, the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi will also send 13 million shi of grain and 18 bundles of grass every year.

There are also Gansu Town, Guyuan Town, and Shaanxi Chief Secretary who have to transport 31 shi of grain and 54 bundles of grass each year, and 38 shi of grain and 54 bundles of grass to supply the three sides. The pressure is extremely high.

"At present, there is a shortage of food and wages in all parts of Shaanxi. The root cause is nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters! From the point of view of this governor, man-made disasters are far better than natural disasters! Therefore, when the governor left Beijing to say goodbye to his majesty, he specifically asked the emperor for a decree." !” He bowed his hands to Dongfang very proudly, to show his respect.

"The emperor allowed me to raise food and pay by myself in Shaanxi. The governor intends to follow the example of Liang Guogong and his son in Shandong and other places, and implement the method of paying food for one job! At the same time, clean up the local deficit and tax arrears over the years! It is absolutely impossible to let the soldiers starve and cold. war!"

These impassioned few words had a greater impact on everyone present than killing Madman He just now!What? !Master Sun, you didn't become a madman yourself because you killed Madman He, did you? !

The current [-]-mile Qinchuan is a fertile land, where the essence of Shaanxi lies. Most of the best irrigated land belongs to the Qin Palace and the big officials and gentry.These people are either clansmen or registered officials, all of whom have fame and fame, and enjoy the privilege of not being on errands and not paying food. It is because of this that most of the good fields in this pass are owned by these people. .As for whether it was purchased with money, donated, seized, or the original landowners couldn't bear the high amount of extra money and abandoned the land, these people took the opportunity to take it for themselves, it is unknown.

"Check the local taxes owed and deficient over the years? Officials, gentry, and gentry pay food together? Governors, please think twice! If this is the case, Shaanxi is bound to be in chaos!"

Facts have proved that not only the military officers present with ulterior motives were frightened to death, but also Feng Shikong, the governor of Shaanxi who has been working closely with Sun Chuanting, was also really taken aback!Killing an arrogant and domineering military officer is nothing more than the emperor's will, and the crime is obvious and the evidence is solid.However, if the implementation of the one-body errand payment in Shaanxi in this way, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the upper body!And it's the kind of catastrophe that kills the family!

Feng Shikong.The word Jing Lu, former warrior.Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli.He is the head of the punishment department, and he is a foreigner and a doctor.In Shaanxi Province, 80 suspects were released from prison.At the beginning of the apocalypse.He went out to be the magistrate of Zhending, moved to Jingxing to prepare the deputy envoy, and returned home with worries.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Lingong Bingbei was raised and Guyuan was changed.Return with worry.Fu Yu, raised his arms and came to the deputy envoy of military preparations, and moved to Miyun.Disobeyed by guarding Zhongguan Deng Xizhao.I hope that other things will be impeached, and the officials will be demoted and returned.

In the 15th year, the imperial edict promoted frontier talents, recommended former officials, and supervised the Tongzhou Army.Qin Wang's soldiers gathered in the capital, plagiarized the public line, and cut off the woman first to repay the merits.Shi Kong was furious, and died with his pawn.next year.Zheng Sanjun recommends Confucius as a mentor to the virtuous and capable officials in the world.In June, he was promoted to the censor of the capital of Youqian, and he acted as the governor of Shaanxi on behalf of Cai Guanzhi, and dispatched troops and food.

In fact, Feng Shikong had no intention of official career, he just wanted to spend time at home, but he was unexpectedly recommended by Zheng Sanjun to be the governor of Shaanxi to manage logistics and raise food for Sun Chuanting.

The Li family's father and son promoted the so-called New Deal in Shandong, but it made people resentful.The memorial of impeachment and the pleadings for deduction can almost be lined up from Beijing to Nanjing.But.The emperor could only pretend that he didn't see it. First, he was fighting at that time and couldn't afford to offend these military leaders.Second.However, the Li family and the Ming system are inseparable. Compared with the chieftains of various places, the degree of dependence on the Ming court is much lower than that of Qin Liangyu, the chieftain of Shizhu.Therefore, even the descendants of the saints were full of resentment for what the Li family and his son did in Shandong, but Emperor Chongzhen turned a deaf ear to it.The censors were in a hurry.The emperor dropped a word coldly.

"I can issue an order to take the Li family and his son to Beijing to interrogate them, or even issue an order to confiscate their home. Wait, who dares to deliver the order?"

"Li Aiqing and his son were in Shandong, exterminating exiles and bandits, expelling slaves and religious bandits, encouraging farming and mulberry, and comforting exiles. Even if the local money, grain, taxes and taxes were pressed a bit tighter, the demand was a little more urgent, and there were a lot more. It makes sense. What's more." Chongzhen threw out a trump card, which made those who were regarded as crows speechless for a moment. "Which of the farms and farms of Li Aiqing and the Southern Guangdong Army in Shandong and Denglai have not paid money, food and taxes in accordance with the tax system he promulgated?"

However, although Li Shouhan, Li Huayu and his son could flex their muscles unscrupulously in Shandong, even the Confucius family in Qufu had to pay money and food according to the tax system.However, the reason why they can do this is that there are hundreds of thousands of elite teachers behind them who don't need a penny or a grain of rice. However, Master Supervisor, do you have such a strong hand in your hands?

It is said that it is the court of the sages, even at the Prince Qin's Mansion in Xi'an at this moment, if you want to collect their money and food for a grain of rice and a penny, it is as difficult as the sky!

He said it when he thought about it, but it caused Sun Chuanting to raise his head to the sky and laugh.

"Prince Qin's mansion? They are nobles, with golden branches and jade leaves. Of course, the governor can't bother. However, the governor can come to the door to explain the interests and interests of His Highness the King of Qin. Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong and others killed King Fu Qiansui in Luoyang. He mutilated His Royal Highness King Xiang, and forced the family of King Zhou to flee in Kaifeng. May I ask, how can there be eggs under the nest? What's more, the two Chuang Cao are engulfing millions of people. According to Guan Luo's approach to Jingxiang, there is a faint feeling Potential. Taking Heluo and Jingxiang as the place where the four battles took place, Guanzhong is its hometown, and the soldiers and horses dominate the world. If you can dominate it, you must go west to Tongguan. If soldiers come to the city, are you not afraid that the events of Luoyang, Xiangyang, and Bianliang will reappear in Guanzhong? ?!"

Such a blatant threat made the civil servants below Feng Shikong feel cold-hearted. It seems that our Master Supervisor has been in the prison for a long time, and he has forgotten the way of loyalty and forgiveness taught by the sage.How could he treat His Royal Highness Qin Ming like this?Your Highness should be persuaded with the general trend of the world and the righteousness of the spring and Autumn period, and ask His Highness to reward the three armies with money and food.

However, the eyes of Niu Chenghu, Zheng Jiadong and the others shone brightly. The deeds of the Master Superintendent were quite in line with their appetite.When they went to various places to extort states and counties, they always used such similar reasons. They always said "I can't fight anymore, I can't fight anymore, I'm hungry and cold, you have to give me money and food" in such a tone to force local officials to reward .Unexpectedly, this kind of rogue trick was originally thought to be used only by old army sticks like them, but unexpectedly, a scholar like Master Sun can use it with proficiency.

On the next day, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three sides, set up a full set of guards of honor, and led all the civil and military officials in Xi'an City to pay homage to His Royal Highness Qin Wangfu in the Qin Palace.Prove to His Highness face to face that we want to implement the method of one errand and one payment of food in the Qin land, please be sympathetic and take the lead in setting an example.

Of course, although Zhu Cunji, the King of Qin at this time, was a concubine, compared to the old Qin Kings, his temper was not small at all.When Sun Chuanting asked him to take the lead in paying money, food and taxes, how could he pay?The so-called good fortune is hard to give up refers to this situation.

Of course, when Sun Chuanting stated his interests and interests politely to him by "presenting facts and reasoning", especially pointing out to him that the surrounding terrain of Li'an City would be very difficult for him to escape once Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai's army besieged the city, the King of Qin His Highness suddenly looked downcast like a rooster who has lost a fight.

However, it is not down the donkey.

"If you want Gu to pay money, food and taxes, this matter is not in line with the ancestral system, and it is impossible to obey!"

"However," Zhu Cunji rolled his eyes, "I just heard what you said, using the Qin soldiers to defend the Qin land and the Qin land to support the Qin soldiers. There is some truth to it. Since Gu is in Guanzhong, he can be regarded as a Qin person." A member. The so-called responsibility of guarding the land. Although the matter of paying money and food is not in line with the ancestral system, Gu is willing to do a little bit for the people of Qin, and it can be regarded as an example to educate the side."

After several pretensions, Qin Wang Zhu Cunji expressed his willingness to "lend" part of the money and food to Sun Chuanting in accordance with a fixed amount in the harvest of the fields under Wangzhuang's jurisdiction, for him to use for training and fighting.

After another round of haggling, the Prince Qin's Mansion and the Governor's Yamen reached a consensus on the amount of money and food that should be paid by the mansion's estate.Regardless of the quality of the land, it will be "lend" to the governor's office according to the standard of three buckets of grain and rice.And the governor's yamen will issue a stamp stamped with the relevant seal of defense as a receipt.

If you don't pay the grain and rice, you need to "lend" one silver dollar per mu of land to the governor's office.

Don't think it's uneconomical to pay, who keeps the price of grain in Guanzhong so high?

"When the lower officials left the capital, some merchants in Beijing suggested to the lower officials that if His Highness is willing to grow cotton, they would be willing to buy it all. With students as guarantees, they will definitely not dare to make His Highness suffer!"

At the dinner table where Sun Chuanting was politely given to Sun Chuanting in Qin Palace, Sun Chuanting very appropriately suggested a good idea to Zhu Cunji who was in pain.

"Growing cotton?..."

After leaving Prince Qin's Mansion, Sun Chuanting's new nickname quickly spread among the large and small houses in Xi'an!

"Crazy Sun!" (~^~)
