Chapter 434 Comparison with Zhang Xianzhong

No one doubts that Sun Chuanting can be promoted.But it's a bit surprising to be promoted to a feudal official who guards one side in one fell swoop.

However, on this point, Emperor Chongzhen Qiankun was arbitrary and did not listen to the opinions of his officials.After the announcement, the meeting was adjourned, but the chief assistant Wen Tiren was left behind.

When there were only two monarchs and ministers left in the Wenhua Hall where the discussion was held, Emperor Chongzhen asked with concern: "The governor of Fujian was removed, and He Qiaoyuan was appointed as the left servant of the household department and the censor of the left capital, and he was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang Province. It should be feasible to open the sea full-time in China, Fujian, and Guangdong, right?"

Judging from the current situation, the governor of Fujian is the one who opposes the most fiercely. After the transfer order is issued, this decree is issued. It is estimated that everyone knows the real reason why Xiong Wencan left Fujian.

Wen Tiren thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, just to be on the safe side, I think it would be better for the new governor of Fujian to take office and have a tacit agreement with Governor He before making an order for the world."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, and felt that he was a little anxious, so he nodded.Wen Tiren's idea of ​​focusing on safety also reminded him, and he discussed again: "Opening the sea ban, Fujian should be the main focus in the early stage. However, I don't trust the local soldiers and sailors in Fujian. Why don't you ask Sun Chuanting to bring some trusted soldiers to go. So there are people available, and things can be done smoothly.”

"Your Majesty is wise, and I agree!" Wen Tiren nodded and replied after hearing this, "It's just that Governor Sun was only a doctor in the Ministry of Officials before, and then he has been resigning from office and staying at home. I'm afraid there are no trusted soldiers?"

The so-called cronies of soldiers, of course, not just a dozen or a hundred.To assist the governor to manage a province well, it is necessary to have a general to lead the army.Judging from Sun Chuanting's resume, there is no such condition.

But Emperor Chongzhen didn't see it this way, he had an idea in his mind, and immediately replied: "After Liu Guoneng was recruited, I promised to be a guerrilla. The previous idea was to deal with the Tumochuan Mongolian tribe. Looking at it now, it is possible for him to choose soldiers among the thieves who surrendered, and then go south with Sun Chuanting. In this way, he is a guest army and has nothing to do with Fujian. Moreover, he and Sun Chuanting have made great achievements together, so he is familiar with it, so it should not be There will be problems. What does Wen Qing think?"

Wen Tiren listened, thought for a while, then bowed and said: "Your Majesty's arrangement is the most secure!"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed when he heard this, then the matter is settled like this.In fact, he suddenly decided to send Liu Guoneng to lead the army to go south with Sun Chuanting, but he didn't say anything about his intention.

That is, Liu Guoneng was forced to rebel by corrupt officials, and his relationship with the gentry will not be very good.The same goes for his subordinates.As for the sea ban, there is still a very important problem to overcome, that is, tax evasion.This point can be estimated from the difference between He Qiaoyuan's estimate that the sea ban can bring tens of thousands of taels of silver and Zheng Zhilong's annual income of tens of millions.

The most serious tax evasion and tax evasion are actually officials or those businessmen who are related to officials.If the peasant army is sent to collect taxes, the effect will definitely be much better than using the original army to collect taxes.

When Sun Chuanting came to the capital to thank him, and then told him, the work in Fujian could almost start.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's wishes, Wen Tiren returned to the cabinet to draft an order.However, the content of the will was passed on immediately through the contact information in the chat group.

Outside Dai County, Shanxi, there are still countless camps, but they are under the banner of the army.In one of the camps, Liu Guoneng, the former guerrilla general of the court and now the guerrilla general of the imperial court, gulps tea to quench his thirst in a bit of depression.

These days, there have been countless peasant troops who have surrendered. As a newly promoted recruit, he is also familiar with the details of the peasant army, so he was assigned a task. It can be said that the peasant army captured in the middle of the war was so busy that there was no time to rest.

That's not counting, because he was recruited, so when he was guarding the peasant army, he could often hear scolding such as "traitor, imperial court eagle claw", which also made him very depressed.

No, he was very envious of Zhang Xianzhong when he was a little free.Although both of them were named guerrilla generals, Zhang Xianzhong didn't have to think that he was so busy, and he didn't have to listen to the scolding of those brothers in the past, and he didn't have to hug the thighs of the cabinet ministers under the order of the court.

He could figure it out with his toes. If there were no accidents, according to Zhang Xianzhong's ability as a man, he would probably climb to the top of the cabinet assistant minister, which means he would have a backer in the court in the future.

"Damn it, I should have adopted a lot of adopted sons!" Liu Guoneng thought depressingly, "As long as there is a adopted son as capable as that Zhang Dingguo, I probably won't be like this."

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Guoneng thought about Sun Chuanting again: "He has made such great achievements, so the reward should not be bad! Among the people I know as an official, he is the only one. I hope he can be promoted. Not as good as Zhang Xianzhong, who can have a backer to some extent!"

He was thinking about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao came to look for him, only to hear his subordinates come in and report that Sun Chuanting had arrived.

When Liu Guoneng saw it, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly greeted him personally, and entertained Sun Chuanting into the tent.

To his surprise, Sun Chuanting, who was always expressionless, seemed to be in a good mood today, with a rare smile on his face.

Before he could speak, Sun Chuanting had already said to him with a smile: "The emperor named me the deputy censor of Zuodu and the governor of Fujian. The imperial decree has been issued from the capital. When I receive the imperial decree, I will go to Beijing to thank you and then go south!"

When Liu Guoneng heard that Sun Chuanting was going to go to Fujian, his heart skipped a beat. It was broken, and the backer he believed was going to be unreliable!
However, he immediately came back to his senses and was taken aback. He quickly showed a happy expression, and congratulated Sun Chuanting on the spot.

Sun Chuanting accepted it calmly with a smile, and then looked at Liu Guoneng for a while, and when Liu Guoneng thought there was something wrong with his face, he said: "The imperial court has other orders, and you will be promoted to Fujian general, and you will take office together with me. .”

"Ah, what?" Liu Guoneng didn't expect such a good thing at all, and even promoted himself to a level, subconsciously confirmed: "Fujian General?"

Sun Chuanting nodded with a smile, and confirmed to him: "It's a general from Fujian, and he didn't take office empty-handed. The court ordered you to choose the best of the thieves in custody to lead the army south."

Liu Guoneng opened his mouth wide when he heard that, that is to say, he was promoted to a higher level and transferred to Fujian, and he still held real power in his hands, and he was following the governor of Fujian, Sun Chuanting.

Hehe, isn't that even better than Zhang Xianzhong!
