Hundred and eleven yellow flags enter Luojing and He Xiang (7)

Military situation is like fire.

Sun Chuanting was feeling itchy when he saw his old enemy being under his nose. He still remembered the glory when he captured the banner of Chuangzi and the joy of capturing and killing King Gao Yingxiang. Unexpectedly, the thieves were not eliminated, but became stronger and stronger. They actually established a government system and occupied more than ten counties.

The banner he raised also became the Marshal's Mansion of Fengtian to promote Yi.

The pseudo-"king" that was outraged and turned into a pseudo-"Master Marshal". It seemed that a lot of aura was destroyed, but scholars who were familiar with the allusions of the country knew that this was copying Emperor Taizu Gao's strategy of establishing a country by "building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming kings."

It takes one day to travel from Baofeng to Ruzhou, and Su Jing will not be able to come back at the earliest on the evening of the 16th. Sun Chuanting looked at the full moon in the sky and felt emotion. He thought about the safety of the prince again, whether he needed to leave a general to take care of the prince in the rear. He heard that the prince brought 10,000 people, but he didn't know what it was and whether it was useful.

"Military Gate!" Henan General Chen Yongfu rushed into the tent in a hurry: "The horse is probing, the army of thieves is about to move! It is making food and eating at this moment."

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was happy: "The bandits are indeed in chaos!" He paused, his joy faded, and said, "General Chen, your highness..."

Chen Yongfu turned his head and waited until his face calmed down before he transferred to the party and said, "Your Highness's daughter is really not suitable to be in a place like Ruzhou. It is better to send a group of troops to escort Your Highness to Luoyang. There is a Fu Palace there that can be stationed there, and it will not freeze the prince."

"Your Highness probably refused." Sun Chuanting looked puzzled: "Do you know that the Master of Wu Temple has also had such a thing."

The Ming people called the current emperor the present, the Daxing Emperor the late emperor, and the emperor before the Daxing Emperor was "the master of a certain temple". The temple is the temple with the name of the temple, and the Wu Temple is Emperor Wuzong. This emperor's history books left absurd reputation, so that in later films, they often appeared as the image of a young man who pursued love and freedom.

What Sun Chuanting said now is that during the rebellion of King Ning, Wuzong led the army to fight in person, but who knew that Wang Shouren, the governor of southern Gansu, had been involved in the rebellion. Before the emperor could arrive, the top scholar exterminated the rebellion and captured the rebel king Zhu Chenhao alive. Such a great contribution made Wuzong unhappy. Wang Shouren blamed him for robbing his "credit".

"What are the military issues?" Chen Yongfu asked out loud when he knew that Sun Chuanting was only halfway through his words.

"General Chen can send a general to lead a thousand people to Ruzhou to protect the prince." Sun Chuanting said.

Chen Yongfu pondered without saying a word.

Now that the breakthrough is about to break through, no matter how big or small the achievements are, as long as you stay by your side, you will be rewarded. Now when you return to Ruzhou, whoever you want to go will give up your merits and power. Chen Yongfu said in his heart: Old Man Sun is the one who can plot, and he will divide me before the war begins! Protect the prince? Aren’t you Qin Bing better able to fight?

"I think the son is good." Sun Chuanting said confidently: "He is still in his prime and has already achieved the magical skill of shooting Li Chuang blindly. If he could be in the heart of the emperor, he would probably be another Li Rusong in the future."

Chen Yongfu was moved. His son Chen De shot Li Zicheng's left eye with an arrow in the Battle of Kaifeng Guards. He was only young and he was appointed to the office but did not give him a real title. This time, even if he defeated the thief, he would not be rewarded in terms of merit. Instead of doing this, it would be better to take this opportunity to get familiar with the future emperor.

I wonder if Li Rusong, a famous general in the Wanli period, had the opportunity to become famous overseas because of the four words "Jian Zai Di Xin"?

"Everything is subject to the military command!" Chen Yongfu said happily.

When Sun Chuanting saw Chen Yongfu agreeing, he felt that the prince could explain it just for the sake of his face. It was a matter of thought. He immediately took out the topographic map and ordered people to summon the general under his command to prepare for the battle after Li Chuangtianming.

At this moment, the three places of Bao, Jia and Xiang were exploring horses and running, and the teams were in conflict. One side wanted to kill soldiers to avenge, and the other side wanted to defeat the thieves and make contributions. The morale of the army was as strong as iron and the morale was strong. No one was willing to be at a disadvantage.

Sun Chuanting received news of his horse exploration, and Zhu Cixuan naturally had his own news.

The East Palace lacked experience in exploring sentries and did not enter the battlefield. Instead, they traveled far to Dengfeng and Lushan to investigate the news. These two exits were one east and one west, and if the bandits wanted to copy the food routes of the rear road, they must choose one.

Among them, Lushan is located in the west. Walking on the Funiu Mountain Road, the closest to Ruzhou, can achieve surprise attacks. However, the Funiu Mountain Road is difficult to travel, and there will not be too many people. Dengfeng is located in the east, with smooth roads and can connect to the army, but the prefectures and counties along the way will always be disturbed and it will be difficult to achieve surprise attacks.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang believed that the bandits would come from Mount Lu, so he focused on the west side.

With the subsequent attendant room of Zuoying, the auxiliary barracks also arrived in Ruzhou. The city was full of flags, and there were barracks inside and outside the city. Sun Chuanting did not make any statement about Zhu Cixuan's acceptance of Ruzhou defense, but only restrained his subordinates. As long as they were not too lying, they would obey the orders of the Eastern Palace. He now urgently needed to fight against Li Zicheng to obtain military achievements, and he no longer cared about the minor matters.

...

"Our army will not stay in Ruzhou for long." Zhu Cixuan summoned the civil and military officials under his command for a meeting. His eyes swept across the venue and fell on Wu Weiye, and said in a deep voice: "Son Wu, you should take the people from the Finance Department to Luoyang first, clean up the Fuwang Mansion, and collect their industries. Even if Li Zicheng rolled away all the gold, silver and soft materials, he could never move the land and houses. Especially those farmlands, all of them were sold."

"Your Highness," Wu Weiye's scalp numb, and he couldn't help but speak loudly again, "There is no such system for the private sale of the vassal kings."

"It doesn't matter. Isn't the things of the vassal king the country?" Zhu Ciyang said: "Tian Cunshan, go with you and use the seal of the Eastern Palace. When the Fu King pursues it, I will take it all my strength."

Zhu Cilang had no good feelings for his great-grandfather, Emperor Wanli. Although he admitted that he was above the level of emperor, he wanted to abolish his grandfather and make King Fu the crown prince. This was also a family grudge. Fortunately, the Donglin Party members were very powerful and did not lose in the dispute over the foundation of the country. This led to the country of King Fu and Emperor Taichang ascended the throne. Zhu Cilang avoided the tragic fate of reincarnation as a prince and even the general of the country.

When the Fu King was in the country, he had 20,000 hectares of land, far exceeding any vassal king. From the 42nd year of Wanli to the present, the land of the Fu King family has expanded. Due to the land plot of the Chinese agricultural civilization, no matter the world is governed and chaotic, people with money will give priority to buying houses and land, so there is no need to worry about whether these fields can be sold.

At most, it was just because he was urgent to sell, and someone was suppressed. Anyway, it was because he had no money to buy and sell, so it didn't matter if he was cheaper. It was precisely because Zhu Cilang had this mentality that he would let Wu Weiye, a nerd, take charge, or if he changed to an old accountant with business experience, he could do it more beautifully.

When Tian Cunshan got his job, he heard that he was heading north. He felt relieved, but his face showed grief: "Your Highness, I cannot serve you with you, so you must take care of me!"

Zhu Cilang waved impatiently and continued, "The clerk in the attendant's room has a list of me according to my seniority. Although we are not here for a long time, we have to rectify the Ruzhou area before leaving."

Wu Weiye was much more cheerful this time and bowed to his promise.

"Your Highness."

Someone in the class called out, but everyone felt strange.

Zhu Ciyang almost forgot about this person. At this time, he looked up and turned his mind to remember that this person was following in the army: "Xu Dun, do you have something to say?"

"Your Highness," Xu Dun said, "It is very inconvenient for his subordinates to follow the army to march in the army. I would like to ask Your Highness to do things cheaply."

Xu Dun, one is not in charge of the army, and the other is not in charge of financial management. At most, he is just spending some money. Even if he is given a larger position, it is not impossible. Moreover, his loyalty is just a sway between the Duke and himself, and he will definitely not surrender to the thief. Zhu Cilang nodded and said, "Okay."

"Your Highness," Xu Dun did not return, "Your Highness will also pay 3,000 taels for use."

"Three thousand taels?" Zhu Cixuan was stunned, "Why do you want so much money?"

"Some people do their best to do their jobs for His Highness." Xu Dun didn't say much.

Everyone under the Eastern Palace knew that there was someone like Xu Dun, and he also knew that he was collecting people's voices, similar to the existence of the Jinyiwei. However, seeing that he had a bare pole, and the Jinyiwei's most feared thing was the "Edict Prison", so he was not afraid of everyone, so he was too lazy to pay attention to him. Today, he wanted so much money in one breath, which was somewhat shocking.

What's even more shocking is...

"Three batches of payment." Zhu Cilang didn't ask any more questions, but turned to Suijun's accountant and said.

Now there is some silver in the East Palace, but silver does not equal food. In many places, if you want to store a large amount of grain, it is useless to just have silver. First of all, there is a limit on total social output. There is only so much land and only so much grain can grow. It is impossible that the crops in the fields will grow well because of your money. Secondly, there is a problem of commercial operation. Most of the land is concentrated in the hands of officials and gentry. These people have extremely sensitive sense of touch. As long as they find signs of rising food, they will immediately hoard.

When Kaifeng was surrounded, the price of rice was as high as 24 taels per stone. When the Qing soldiers robbed Linqing and interrupted the canal, the price of grain in Beijing also increased by 4 taels per stone. At that time, I knew that it was useless to have silver alone. So Zhu Cilang was more willing to spend the silver as soon as possible, no matter what he exchanged for, it was better than the empty silver ingot.

"Xiao Mo." Zhu Cilang named.

"I'm not here." Xiao Mo shook the cloak behind him and stepped forward to salute cleanly.

"You will be stationed in Ruyang County from now on to support all regions, especially to ensure the safety of the Baisha Granary." Zhu Cixuan thought for a while and said, "The Central Military Department will transfer two more departments to you."

"Yes!" Xiao Mozhen said.

Zhu Cixuan swept through everyone again, and the general judge and the military doctor pointed out and told them to strengthen inspections. The former was to keep a close eye on the soldiers of the guard camp who violated the military law, while the latter was to keep a close eye on the sanitation treatment of the garrison at the garrison to prevent infectious diseases.

After the overall meeting of the East Palace was arranged, it gradually became gloomy outside the house, and then I looked at the time but it shouldn't be dark. After a while, I heard someone outside shouting happily: "It's raining! It's finally raining!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
