Please ask me to be the emperor

Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, has been having a hard time recently.

Although he got his wish and became the governor of Shanxi, he also said something ugly beforehand, and agreed with Emperor Chongzhen that "if the army is not successful, you can't start a provocation, and if the army is not good, you can't fight."

As a result, he had only been in the job for two or three months, and he had no soldiers and no pay. Some gentry had already written to the court, threatening that he "feared thieves and refused to fight, and supported the bandits with self-respect, but he only used to create a clever name and took pleasure in bullying the gentry."

Are these people right?

That's right. Since Sun Chuanting took office, he begged his grandfather and grandmother to appeal to the Shanxi gentry and chamber of commerce to donate. As a result, he received five to seven hundred taels, which was not as much as the bribes these people sent privately.

His grandson Baigu came to Taiyuan, firstly not to waste his life, and secondly not for glory and wealth.

What is he doing?

The purpose is to exterminate bandits and bring peace to tomorrow; to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family; and to achieve the ideal of governing the country, bringing peace to the people, and bringing peace to the world!

Therefore, he overcame all difficulties and concentrated on clearing the farmland, collecting grains from the Shanxi Guard Station at the standard of eighteen dan per hectare.

In the eyes of some people, isn't this just "a clever name for bullying the gentry"!

"It doesn't work, it's time to move!" Sun Chuanting couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

"Fu Jun, didn't you say a few days ago that although the soldiers have been reorganized, they are only one battalion and are no match for the thieves? Why now..." Zan Hua Chen Jitai complained a little.

"I can afford to wait, but they can't!" Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointing to the northeast.

"If we don't take any action, I'm afraid this Fujun will die before he can survive!"

"This..." Chen Jitai finally understood that it was Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shanxi, who couldn't stand it anymore.

"It's okay to move, but I don't know how you plan to move?"

"Let's find something for the thief to do!" Sun Chuanting sighed.

"The people of Hancheng have written to me many times, saying that under the rule of the traitors, the people are in dire straits and all industries are in ruins. They implore me to come and fight against the evil."

"However, I am not strong enough, so I can only sit back and watch the thieves do their evil. Now I heard that there are more than ten families who want to defect to the paradise of kings, so I have to help them."

"It just so happens that the soldiers under the command of the Shanxi General Soldier have been reorganized. All of them have been carefully selected by me, and they can almost fight!"

It turned out that Shanxi Sun Chuanting was cleaning up farmland in Shanxi, and was scolded by the Shanxi gentry. Some even wrote to the emperor with their hands and eyes open to the sky.

Although Yang Sichang put the overall situation first this time, it temporarily helped him stabilize the situation.

However, Sun Chuanting's family knew about his affairs, but in fact his relationship with Yang Sichang was not good either.

Yang Sichang is not a magnanimous person. This time he acted under pressure and withstood the pressure for him. Who will help him withstand the pressure next time?

Obviously there is none. If there was, he would not have waited until there was no one available in the court before hurriedly promoting him to come to the rescue.

So this time, it was better to ask for help than to ask for help from others, and he could only rely on himself to open up the situation.

The way he took the initiative to open up the situation was very simple, which was to cause trouble in the rebel area and block everyone's attention.

Sun Chuanting originally didn't want to make a big deal, but he didn't expect that this series of hooks would lead to an incident.

It turned out that Hancheng was the main coal supplier to Xi'an Prefecture, but because the rebels occupied Xi'an Prefecture and the officers and soldiers cut off the river transportation, the coal was stranded in Hancheng County and could not be sold.

Originally, this kind of thing was no big deal.

In this era, there is no talking about chicken farts and employment rates. Being full is a matter of ability, being hungry is what you deserve, and no one will care about it.

Good or bad, these mine owners are no different from those in western Henan. They are all gentry who have occupied the mines and gathered three to five hundred people to steal the mines and sell them.

These people are called merchants at best, but they are just thieves at worst.

It was just the people's property that other thieves robbed, and these thieves colluded with officials to rob the royal mineral deposits.

It's just that if the coal being mined cannot be sold, these mine owners will really not be able to support their miners and servants, so they will have to take desperate measures.

In this way, Sun Chuanting had a hand in Hancheng County, how could he not be extremely excited?

"Fujun, even if we occupy Hancheng like this, we can't hold it?" Sun Xiuzhi, a tribesman, couldn't help but remind him after hearing the news.

"Haha, General Sun has made great progress now!" Chen Jitai and Sun Chuanting smiled at each other and couldn't help but praise.

"It doesn't matter whether we can hold on or not, the important thing is to let the court know that we are doing something!" Sun Chuanting had no one under his command and was determined to train him, so he couldn't help but say something.

"So I won't say how this fight went, but it will definitely be lively and create a lot of momentum!" Chen Jitai didn't know Sun Chuanting's intention, so he quickly helped.

"My subordinates understand, tomorrow I will go on an expedition with General Wang. I will make a big fuss all the way and everyone will know about it!" Sun Xiuzhi was not stupid. After being reminded like this by these two people, he still didn't understand what they were planning.

"By the way, when we use troops tomorrow, you should be humble and learn from Wang Zhong." Sun Chuanting added.

"Him? Learn from him?" Sun Xiuzhi was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but scornfully said.

"Does Fujun want me to imitate him in eating empty wages, imitating him in drinking soldiers' blood, imitating him in escaping from the enemy?"

"You bastard, there must be one person who is my teacher in a group of three. Even though Wang Zhong is full of energy and spent his whole life in the military, how can he be someone you can underestimate?" Sun Chuanting's old face pulled, and he couldn't help but cursed.

Zanhua Chen Jitai came to persuade him for a long time, but Sun Chuanting still scolded him. Only when Sun Xiuzhi was convinced did he let him go.

"Can it be done?" Chen Jitai looked at Sun Xiuzhi's back, who was far away, and couldn't help but feel unsure.

"It can be done even if it can't be done!" Sun Chuanting said firmly.

"Food prices are getting higher and higher, and it is getting harder and harder to raise food and wages. A few days ago, I received a letter from my brother, claiming that someone has begun to threaten my family!"

"Some people don't want us to practice quietly with so many people, and deliberately create obstacles and put pressure on us!"

"Originally I thought I could withstand this pressure, but now it seems I overestimated myself!"

"Fujun, it's not our fault for this..." Chen Jitai had just finished speaking when he was stopped by Sun Chuanting.

"If you don't blame us, who should we blame? Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor!" Sun Chuanting reminded.

Who is to blame?

Of course, I blame the Gonggun princes for not doing practical things and criticizing each other.

Of course, the blame is on the Shun thieves and others who "don't starve to death peacefully, but follow the example of the mantis."

It was even more strange to go back on one's promise. He had clearly agreed in advance that "you should not be suspicious of people you employ, and you should not use them if you don't use them." As soon as he entrusted it to Sun Chuanting, Chongzhen's mind was shaken after only a few months.

But what's the use of complaining at this time?

There's nothing to blame, everyone can only rely on their own abilities. The big guys have a real talent under their hands!
