The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 13

Sun Chuanting, who served as the governor of the three sides as a cabinet minister, the first thing he did when he entered Xi'an was not to welcome the wind, but to show his Shangfang sword to many local officials in the street.

"Chuan Ting came here by the emperor's order, all three sides are involved in civil and military affairs."

Sun Chuanting, who became an important minister of the imperial court at a young age, was at the time when he was in high spirits. "My fellow colleagues, Mr. Sun's ugly words are at the forefront. If anyone is yin and yang, he will drag his feet and refuse to obey orders. Mr. Sun recognizes you, but he does not recognize the Shangfang sword in Mr. Sun's hand!" "

No matter how much the local civil and military slandered, but in person, no one dared to make a head citrus to test whether the Shangfang sword was sharp.

But when it came to the reception banquet, Governor Hu Tingyan took the lead in attacking.

"Your Excellency, bandits are running rampant in the three borders, and the people have no food and clothing due to years of severe drought. I wonder what the Governor's plan is?"

Historically, when Sun Chuanting entered Shaanxi, the court and the emperor gave him nothing except the letter of appointment.

He himself recruited refugees to farm the fields, accumulating strength bit by bit.

Now, Li Yunze gave him super support.

In addition to being an old man from the beginning, and the governors of the three sides rewarded Shang Fang with a sword, he also carefully selected a thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp and the imperial horse prison as his personal soldiers.

In addition, he also allocated 100 million taels of silver and 80 shi of grain for him to take into Shaanxi.

There is righteousness, there are soldiers and horses, and there is money and food.

Sun Chuanting's waist is very straight.

"A lot of the land on the three sides is abandoned, and these lands are used for farming."

Sun Chuanting unhurriedly described his arrangement, "At the same time, recruit refugees to set up fields and select brave men to join the army. Not only can the strength be enhanced, but also the strength of the rogues can be reduced."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around.

There are many abandoned fields here on the three sides, but most of them have been occupied.

After all, in this era, the field is the most important property.

Now that Sun Chuanting is about to close the fields as soon as he arrives, it is foreseeable that there will be a big disturbance.

Sun Chuanting, who was in the lead, smiled and said nothing. He already knew what was going on here.

Do you really think that Li Yunze gave him the Shangfang sword to strengthen his reputation?
Before leaving Beijing, Li Yunze set a target for Sun Chuanting, how many local civil and military targets he would kill within the stipulated time!
"A bunch of idiots who don't even know they're dying."

Li Yunze regards the officials of the Ming Dynasty as insects, and will never let them go if they commit crimes.

"Long live wants to build a new army, and Shaanxi has been given a quota of 8000 people. This matter must be completed as soon as possible." Sun Chuanting thought for a while and said, "Long live specially ordered that we first recruit from the postmen."

Speaking of postmen, the most famous postposter in history is the Chuang Wang Li Zicheng.

In Chongzhen in history, in a few months, the Donglin Party would abolish all the post stations and release this fierce tiger.

But when it came to Li Yunze, he didn't directly arrange manpower to kill Li Zicheng, but chose to give him a chance to serve the court.

Since he even dared to use traitors, using rebels was nothing.

Of course, the matter assigned by the emperor must be handled as soon as possible. In order to curry favor with the emperor, the local civil and military officials in Shaanxi directly packed all the postmen in various places into the quota.

Thousands of brave men were recruited to make up eight thousand posts.

Li Zicheng was still living his small life in Yinchuan Station, so he was packed by his family and went on the road together when he was confused, and followed the huge team to the capital inexplicably.

Here, Li Yunze, who regards officials as insects, is checking another huge amount of income.

The Tongzhou grain case has also been closed, and those nobles who participated in it turned into sellers and vomited blood to pay fines.

Because there was really no way to raise such a large amount of silver in a hurry, they entrusted their connections to the Empress Dowager Zhang Yan.

In the end, it was Zhang Yan who came forward to say good things, took some face from Li Yunze, and allowed the nobles to pay the fine with food.

Of course, in terms of food prices, Li Yunze directly gave a low price of [-] cash per stone.

The money has now been credited.

Gold, 750 taels.

Silver, 960 forty-three thousand three hundred taels.

Grain, 480 million shi.

Gold is naturally included in the income, and it will be exchanged for materials in the modern world in the future.

As for the silver and grain, Li Yunze directly took them out and shipped them to various places on the Nine Borders to repay the grain and salaries owed over the years, so that the soldiers in various places can have a good year.

Don't think that there is a lot of money and food, but in fact it is not enough to make up for it at all, and there is still a huge hole.

Since the garrison rotted, Ming's military power has turned to the recruitment system, that is, battalions.

Battalion soldiers are recruited soldiers, which cost far more than guard soldiers.

Sergeants on the Nine Borders had an annual salary of 12 taels of silver, [-] stones of grain, and other supplies such as salt and cloth.

For the cavalry, the food is doubled, and they can receive three liters of beans every day.

Moreover, the standards of the Nine Sides are different. For example, the monthly salary here in Liaodong is as high as two taels, and the guest troops transferred from various places to Liaodong are as high as three taels a month.

This is just the food and salary of Nine Sides, not counting the so many guards in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Since the 26th year of Wanli, the imperial court has been in arrears of payment.

After such arrears year after year, although there are reissues during the period, the hole must be getting bigger and bigger.

Li Yunze distributed all the food and salaries squeezed from the nobles to Jiubian, and it was only a part of it.

And he knew very well that with so much food and pay, not many of them could really fall into the hands of the sergeants.

So many people were reaching out their hands from top to bottom, even if he sent Dongchang Jinyiwei to strictly guard him, most of them would definitely be drifted away.

Li Yunze regards all officials as insects and nobles as waste materials.

But he was very cautious when dealing with those generals and generals in the army.

The soldiers of these people only listen to the generals, if they go directly, it will inevitably cause chaos.

They are not something Dongchang Fanzi and Jin Yiwei can handle. These generals all hold knives in their hands.

Because of this, even if it was Li Yunze, before all his preparations were completed, he could only hold his nose and admit it first.

Enraged, Li Yunze urged to speed up the formation of the new army.

The new army is divided into two armies, named Huben Longxiang, each with five battalions, and each battalion has [-] battalions.

The total strength of the two armies combined was as high as [-].

The sergeants are strong men recruited from all over the place, especially the disaster-stricken areas, and those with families are given priority.

The military pay is very high, and one person is enough to support a family.

Huben's main general is Zhao Lengjiao, and his deputy is Lu Xiangsheng.

Cao Wenzhao is the main general of Longxiang, and Cao Bianjiao is his deputy.

As for Mangui, Li Yunze sent him to the grassland to recruit local herdsmen to buy horses, and he will form a cavalry regiment when he returns.

The sergeants of the new army were given five liang of silver as resettlement allowance, two liang of silver per month, one stone of grain, two catties of salt, and one bolt of cloth.

The sergeants who joined the new army were very satisfied with such a good treatment.

Outside the Chaoyang Gate, the Huben army belongs to the village.

"Jin'er, open the door!"

Li Zicheng's joyful shout came from outside the door, and his mother-in-law Han Jin'er hurried out to open the door, "What's the matter?"

When he opened the door, he saw Li Zicheng striding in with half a leaf of pork on his shoulder, a jug of wine in one hand, and a piece of cloth in the other.

Han Jin'er stepped forward to pick up the things full of surprise, "Why are there so many things?"

"anything else!"

Li Zicheng shouted angrily, turned his head and went out to pick up his nephew Li Guo.

Li Guo was pushing a cart full of bags of grain, bags of coal, and bags of salt.

"So many." Han Jin'er was already smiling from ear to ear.

"This is a New Year's gift from Wansui." Li Guo helped carry the food, salt and coal into the house, "Auntie, let's go first."

"Let's go after dinner." Han Jin'er greeted warmly.

"I haven't claimed my New Year's gift yet." Li Guo, with a smile on his face, went out and went straight to the barracks.

"One piece of cloth, one pot of wine, half a fan of pork, two stones of grain, two catties of salt, and two hundred catties of coal."

Li Zicheng, who was smiling, rubbed his hands and walked into the house, picked up the tin kettle distributed to each household of the new army and poured a cup of hot water.

Han Jin'er walked over quickly and reached out to Li Zicheng, "Long live will definitely give you money."

Li Zicheng's face froze, and then he smiled and took out two taels of silver from his pocket, "Look at you, I didn't take it out because I wanted to give you a hairpin."

Putting away the money swiftly, Han Jin'er turned around to pack up his things, "Don't think I don't know, the ones you whistle with are playing with money all day long."

Li Zicheng, who wanted to hide money from his private house, hastily changed the subject, "For those coals, remember to ask someone to help mix them with yellow mud and beat them into briquettes. The winter at home depends on them."

"The people in the capital are smart. The coal mixed with yellow mud is pressed out with that iron cylinder. It is resistant to burning and not choking. No one in Shaanxi knows that they can do this."

"It's all because of the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven."

Li Zicheng cupped his hands in the direction of the palace, "We can live a good life thanks to the Holy Son of Heaven. I heard that these kettles, heated kang briquettes and so on are all made by the Holy Son of Heaven."

"Yes, long live the Son of Heaven." Han Jin'er began to cut pork. "It's rare for you to take a rest. Today, I will fry two meat dishes for you to drink."

The holy emperor, whom Li Zicheng is grateful for, is having a family banquet in the palace at this time.

Zhu Youjian, who was replaced by Li Yunze, did not leave any heirs.

As for the girls around her, apart from Empress Zhou, there are Tian Shi and Yuan Shi.

Coupled with the fact that Wei Zhongxian gave away three sisters before, and the emperor's wife Zhang Yan, this is the emperor's family.

The ground dragon in the hall was very warm, but Li Yunze was scratching his head a little.

Because except for Zhang Yan and Queen Zhou, all the girls looked at him with resentful eyes.

After ascending the throne, he was busy killing Nine Thousand Years, and then left Beijing and ran to Tianjin Wei.

After finally coming back, he was also busy with business all day long.

Even if they go back to the back, they always go to Queen Zhou.

Those girls can't receive the rain, of course they want to complain.

Li Yunze has always been very calm when dealing with girls.

The motto he pursues is, don't take the initiative, don't refuse, and don't wear a cough.

Now being attacked by the girls with their eyes is naturally depressing.

Zhang Yan, who had already noticed this, pointed to the aggrieved Queen Zhou with her eyes.

The helpless Empress Zhou had no choice but to show her generosity as a queen, "Long live, my sisters pray for Long live day and night, their hearts are commendable, and please enjoy the rain and dew."
