please make me king

Chapter 1027

Shi En should be thin and thick, and Shi Wei should be strict and lenient.

Now Zhang Shun, who is in a high position, naturally understands this truth, so Enwei also beat his old father-in-law Wang Shiqin, so that he can "persuade" the Yulin general.

Of course, Zhang Shun was so confident.

That's because compared to other places, generals from Yulin are not good birds.

However, the main problems are corruption, empty pay and occupation of military supplies, and the issue of farming only involves one area in Yulinwei.

So by the way, Zhang took the distribution of food and "don't blame the past", and exchanged the two conditions for the generals to agree to recount and check the number of troops, horses, ordnance.

And counting and checking the number of troops, horses and weapons, etc., this matter is not unique to the rebel army.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty itself had sent governors to check and check many times, and there was nothing surprising about it, so this was not unacceptable to Yulin generals.

Of course, the most important things are:

"In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a great famine in Shaanxi, and the people of Yan and Gong met as bandits.".
"In the second year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought, and Yan'an Mansion was starved and killed."

"In the third year of Chongzhen, there was a great barrenness in the Qin land, and bandits continued to rise, and half of them died, especially in Yan'an, Qing, and Ping."

"In the four years of Chongzhen, there was a great famine in Yan'an for several years, five coins for a bucket of rice in Yan'an, and pillows everywhere. The two prefectures of Yan and Qing are thousands of miles away, there is no land without famine, and no one is not poor."

"In the five years of Chongzhen, disasters and disasters gathered in Yanqing area, and there was no cooking for thousands of miles, and it was almost deserted."

"In the seventh year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought in Yulin last year, and there is no rain this spring, and a bucket of rice costs seven dollars."

"In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Yan'an was hungry every year, fighting rice for eight coins, and digging grass roots and bark for food."

In other words, apart from Chongzhen's failure to report for six years, the land of Yansui is full of hunger and famine everywhere.

What does "Doumi Eight Coins" mean?That is, one stone of rice and wheat is worth eight taels of silver.

On the surface, the price Zhang Shun offered was half of Daming's, but in fact the price he offered was exactly four times that of Daming.

It's no wonder that the father-in-law Wang Shiqin couldn't help being ecstatic when he heard the words, and kowtowed to Zhang Shun regardless of his seniority.

Zhang Shun was also taken aback when he saw this, and quickly helped the old man up with his own hands.

It's just that although Wang Shiqin is quite old, but he doesn't care about the bruise on his head, he can't control himself because of his excitement.

"I can't do it, I have to take it easy!" Wang Shiqin looked like he was having a heart attack, he found a chair by himself, and with Zhang Shun's support, he finally sat down.

The whole person danced and danced, with an appearance of excess energy and nowhere to vent.

Even if Zhang Shun asked him to call his father and mother instead at this time, it is estimated that he would not have the slightest hesitation.

"King Shun, drive high!" Seeing this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help reminding in a low voice.

Nonsense, can I know if the price tag is high?
Zhang Shun rolled his eyes at him, feeling distressed, couldn't help thinking about the series of disaster reports in Yansui Town that he had seen before, and felt that he was too cold-blooded.

Starting from the seventh year of the apocalypse, the drought in Yansui Town lasted for eight years.

They didn't starve to death, even if the vitality of the local people was tenacious.

What's more, a shi of rice and wheat only weighed one hundred and twenty catties, and the annual production was almost enough for a family of four to eat. To some extent, it was Zhang Shun's strategy of substituting salary for relief.

After finally waiting for the father-in-law Wang Shiqin to calm down his excitement, Zhang Shun couldn't help but continued: "Immediately transfer General Lu Xiangsheng to guard Yansui, preside over the counting and checking of the number of people, horses and weapons in Yansui Town, distribute food and salaries according to the quota, and compile a book to report .”

"Order Zhaode General Zhang Fengyi to be the commander-in-chief of Yansui, responsible for the military defense of Yansui Town."

"Ding Qirui is the magistrate of Yan'an, and Wei Zhiyou is the commander-in-chief of Yan'an. After the two have finished handling the transportation of military supplies, they will be stationed in Yan'an on the spot. They will be responsible for collecting summer food, dealing with disasters, and exterminating thieves. There must be no mistakes."

Ding Qirui was taken aback when he heard the words, but couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly thanked Zhang Shun.

Regardless of the fact that he has successively served as the magistrate of Taiyuan, the inspector of Shandong, the right to participate in politics, and the military preparation of Hexi in Ningxia, even if he is immediately promoted to governor, his ability and qualifications are completely sufficient.

However, from the point of view of the rebels, Zhang Shun's subordinates only actually controlled Henan, Nanyang, Xi'an, and Ruzhou, three prefectures and one prefecture.

His military and political leaders are all from direct lineages, how could Ding Qirui not understand Zhang Shun's importance to him?
"General Zhaowu Cao Wenzhao guards Ningxia, with Zheng Chongjian as his military advisor."

"Let Zhenxi General Chen Changzhu guard Guyuan, and all military and political affairs, big or small, have the right to kill first and then play!"

"Let Li Zicheng lead [-] soldiers to garrison Qingyang Mansion, let Zhang Tianlin lead [-] soldiers to garrison Fengxiang Mansion, and let Zhang Yingchang garrison Lintao, and continue to serve as the general of Lintao."

"Let Li Mou take over Cao Wenzhao's garrison at Tongguan, and guard against a sneak attack by Shanxi Governor Wu Tong, there must be no mistake!"

When Zhang Shun issued this order, everyone was dumbfounded, only Hong Chengchou couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Don't look at Zhang Shunyi's dazzling operations, in fact, a series of policies are all centered around Xi'an Mansion and Yansui Town.

The former is the essence of Guanzhong, where there is land and food, and it deserves Zhang Shun's priority to cultivate.

The latter is where the elite soldiers of Shaanxi are located, so as long as the generals from Yansui were surrendered, most of Shaanxi would be captured by the rebels.

However, Guyuan is located in an important place on the three sides, which is convenient for handling military affairs in Gansu and Ningxia as soon as possible, so Zhang Shun sent his most trusted Chen Changliang to take up the post.

The so-called right to "strike first and play later" is actually to grant him the right to quell the rebellion as soon as possible.

However, Qingyang and Fengxiang are important military places to enter Xi'an Prefecture, so Zhang Shun sent Zhang Tianlin and Li Zicheng to garrison them.

As for the two towns of Gansu and Lintao, they were all accidents, so Zhang Shun didn't care about him for the time being.

Regardless of everyone's expressions, after drafting the military order, Zhang Shun sent out a group of people to act according to the order, leaving Hong Chengchou, Zhang Bojing and Lu Weiqi alone.

Then Zhang Shun opened his mouth and asked, "I want to govern Xi'an, but I don't know how you can teach me?"

In fact, Lu Weiqi is now the de facto magistrate of Xi'an. Hearing the words, he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "The first thing is to collect food and grass, and then talk about other things. Otherwise, the soldiers will have nothing to eat, and there will be chaos!"

"Secondly, in the Qing Dynasty, the properties of the princes' mansions were checked according to the books, and their property and land acres were registered in the book, and then the property was brought into the inner mansion according to the map, and the land acres were checked clearly, and grain was collected by law."

"Other guard lands are mostly owned by powerful households. They must first be aware of their interests, and then use martial arts to deal with them before they can be cleaned up."

"The third is luck. The three borders and four towns in Shaanxi have always been poor, unable to make ends meet. Now that the rebel army is taking over, there is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and disasters waiting to be rescued."

"Although there are thousands of things, in fact there are only two things about soldiers and food."

"If there are soldiers and generals, there will be no chaos in Shaanxi; if there is food and wages, there will be no fear in Shaanxi. When King Shun promotes capable ministers, the upper and lower officials will perform their duties. All of Shaanxi is mine!"

Since the rebel army occupied Xi'an, military and political affairs have been complicated and complicated.

While everything is important, some things are more important.

Lu Weiqi's proposals generally continued Zhang Shun's previous thinking, outline the key points, talk about money and food first, and then talk about Qingtun.

Once you have money and food in your hands, and the farmland in Xi'an and the number of soldiers in Yansui have been cleaned up and checked, it won't be too late to take other places.
