Please ask me to be the emperor

Qianliang was the political power of Zhang Gui who ruled Liangzhou after the Eight Kings Rebellion of the Jin Dynasty. It was one of the sixteen kingdoms, and its base was roughly within the Gansu town of this era.

Zhang Yingchen's so-called "lessons from Qianliang" refers to the story of Zhang Gui's separatist rule of Gansu.

"Where are Chieftain Lu, Chieftain Li, and Chieftain Qi now? Why did they rebel?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but wonder after hearing this.

Although the rebels are nominally divided into three sides and four towns, they have actually just sorted out the military and civil affairs of Xi'an Prefecture and Yansui Town, and the rest of Guyuan and Ningxia are still in the process of sorting out.

The town of Gansu was geographically far away and it did not affect the overall situation for a while, so Zhang Shun simply delegated everything to Zhang Yingchen and kept him under temporary restraint.

As a result, the restraints are no longer working, what else do you want?

"According to Zhang Yingchen, the governor of Gansu, Gansu town is located on the border and has many chieftains. In Xining alone, there are 16 chieftains, big and small."

"Among these sixteen families, the four families of Dongli Tusi, Xili Tusi, Dongqi Tusi and Xiqi Tusi are the most powerful."

"However, in terms of the whole of Gansu, the person with the strongest strength is the chieftain of the Lu family in Zhuanglang."

"It is said that the Nalu family was originally a great-great-grandson of Kuo Liejian, the sixth son of Genghis Khan, and his original name was Tuohuan."

"I originally fled north with Emperor Yuan Shun, but unexpectedly fell behind on the way, so he led his people to seek refuge with Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and was placed in Zhuanglangwei Liancheng."

"In the third generation, he lost the post of Jiashi Baihu. He was given the surname of Lu and changed his name to Lu Xian. This was the beginning of the Lu family."

"Subsequently, the Lu family had meritorious service for generations, and they were related by marriage to the chieftains of Hehuang, Dongli, and Dongqi, and they became the number one chieftain in Gansu."

"The chieftain of Dongli and Shangchuankou have more than 4,000 native households under their jurisdiction. The chieftain of Dongqi and the Shengpangou area of ​​Shangchuankou have more than 1,000 natives under their jurisdiction."

"The Lu family of Zhuanglangwei has lived in Liancheng for generations, and has jurisdiction over 3,245 households of native people and 453 households of non-local people."

"There are a thousand Turkish troops, two hundred internal troops, and a total of 1,200 soldiers."

Zhang Shun couldn't help being dumbfounded when he heard this. He thought that these chieftains of the Lu family, Dongli chieftains, and Dongqi chieftains were so great. It turned out that they only managed three to four thousand households and had more than a thousand soldiers.

Not every chieftain is a Shizhu or Qiyang chieftain who can bring out three or four thousand elite soldiers in one breath without changing his expression.

"How dare you? Three to four thousand people dare to oppose me!" Zhang Shun almost laughed angrily.

"Do you think my reputation is too good to be touched?"

"Your Highness, King Qin, those clowns are nothing to be afraid of." Hong Chengchou responded after hearing this.

"However, Dong Qi and Dong Li threaten Xining, and the Lu family colludes with Zhuang Lang's officers and soldiers to cut off Ganliang. It is really a serious problem!"

"If these two lands are lost, Ganliang will no longer be owned by the King of Qin!"

"Got it!" Zhang Shun nodded and said, "Let Yang Chengzu and Wang Ding rectify their troops in a while, and within three to five days, I will lead an army to defeat this thief!"

"Shun...His Royal Highness King Qin, you must not do it!" Lu Weiqi quickly advised after hearing this.

"In the past, the King of Qin had few soldiers, limited territory, and few talents, so he had to do everything personally as a last resort."

"Now the rebels occupy four towns on three sides of Shaanxi Province. They have 200,000 elite soldiers and countless prefectures and counties. How can they come in person for everything?"

"Not to mention, now that Fatty Zhang, the 'King of Neatness', is acting, the Hancheng gentlemen are causing trouble, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shanxi Province in the Ming Dynasty, is sending his soldiers to harass and plunder, which is very annoying. Please ask King Shun to make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Wait a minute, I didn't bother him, but he came to the door first?" Zhang Shun laughed angrily.

"He, Sun Chuanting, doesn't take this king seriously, doesn't he?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Before Zhang Shun finished speaking, Inspector Qian Shoulian couldn't help but step forward and said, "I have something to say!"

"Oh? I wonder what Mr. Qian has to say?" To be honest, Zhang Shun was a little dissatisfied with him.

Previously, Ding Qirui, Hong Chengchou and others praised him like a flower, but in the few months since he took office, he has not impeached anyone.

Are all our officials in Shaanxi as clean as water and without any violation of law or discipline?

"After my visit in the past two months, I found that there are 15 counties in Shaanxi that are short of chief officials. In nine cases out of ten, there are not enough officials for both assistants and assistants."

"There are countless others who have eaten nothing but took advantage of the corpses, and who have taken bribes and perverted the law."

"Take Hancheng as an example. Yuan Lujie, the former magistrate of the county, used big buckets to collect taxes, and small buckets to spend money and grain, etc., and embezzled money and grain worth one thousand two hundred and seventeen taels."

"Hancheng originally produced clean coal, which was sold to Xi'an Prefecture in the past. However, due to the war and the obstruction of river transportation, no merchants are allowed to sell it now."

"The magistrate Yuan Lujie was unwilling to give up in order to gain plunder by clever means. He still sent people to receive benefits and collected coal and silver, which caused chaos in Hancheng."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun finally understood that Hancheng's "rebellion" was due to economic reasons.

"I see. Then why didn't Mr. Qian say it earlier? This disaster could have been avoided." Zhang Shun's tone was a bit unpleasant. Why are you treating this as an afterthought?

"It's easy to conquer the world, but it's difficult to dominate the world!" Qian Shoulian said eloquently as if he didn't hear what Zhang Shun meant.

"Although I am just a patrol officer, I still know what the overall situation is."

"Nowadays, the rebels are short of manpower and have to retain old officials. If the counties are out of control and the people die in vain because of the blame, wouldn't it be the minister's fault?"

Zhang Shun frowned and thought, it was indeed true, then he smiled and said: "It's just this time, it won't be the same next time."

"The inspector patrols the hunt on behalf of the sky, but regardless of whether he is good or bad, he will report everything to me. I will discuss the matter with the ministers and do not make any decisions on my own!"

"Since Mr. Qian has visited many counties, come back and draw up a plan for me to discuss how to deal with it!"

"I accept the order and thank you!" Qian Shoulian bowed respectfully after hearing this and stepped back.

Zhang Shun was still waiting to mention the previous rebellion of Gansu chieftains and the rebellion in Hancheng, etc., when he suddenly realized that there was something in Qian Shoulian's words.

The officials in this era are really annoying and they don’t know how to speak well!

"By the way, why did the three chieftains of the Lu family, Dongli family, and Dongqi family rebel?" It turned out that Qian Shoulian seemed to be talking about unrelated things, but in fact he was hinting to Zhang Shun that there must be a reason for everything.

There are two completely different things between fighting for government and fighting with soldiers. The latter can be bold and passionate, but the former can only be like the Weaver Girl embroidering, but with delicacy.

"This... is actually because of the tea-horse incident!" Hong Chengchou hesitated and said honestly.

"The land of the Fan people is hard, and the wind and sun are dry and hot. Moreover, the Yi people eat beef and mutton every day, which is not easy to digest. If there is no tea to relieve the greasiness, the stool will not be smooth, and the Fan people will suffocate to death!"

Wait...what kind of ghost theory are you talking about? As the saying goes: A living person can choke to death with urine, but with your mouth, a living person can choke to death with feces?

Zhang Shun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. As a builder in his previous life, he had never been to Qinghai and Xinjiang.

The local salt tea does have the effect of relieving tiredness and laxatives, but it’s not like you’d be suffocated without it, right?

Not to mention that in previous lives, in these places where animal husbandry is a livelihood, not every family may have the freedom to eat meat. How can your family eat beef and mutton in this era?
