Chapter 501
In fact, Sun Chuanting himself knew that he had no choice.

After Emperor Chongzhen asked, if he refused, then his good impression in the emperor's heart would be gone; not only would he not be able to be the governor, he would even be demoted for reasons, so he would never have to be in the officialdom for the rest of his life.

Of course, Sun Chuanting did not want to see such a result.He remembered that when he was in Dai County, he and Governor Yansui talked about the heroes of steaming wine. At this moment, isn't there a huge opportunity in front of him?

Sun Chuanting was originally a decisive person, otherwise, he would not have spent more troops on behalf of the county when defending the city on behalf of the county, but also let the rogues attacking the city think that the city has insufficient troops, so they will continue to give away their heads Consumed under the city wall of Dai County, so as to obtain greater credit for him.

He even risked his life in order to come back to get a good official position and show his ambition. Without even telling his wife, he secretly led three hundred miscellaneous soldiers out of the city to attack the army of tens of thousands of thieves.

All thoughts flashed through Sun Chuanting's mind. From outsiders' point of view, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately bowed down and responded: "I will do my best and die, and I will definitely fulfill your majesty's entrustment!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing when he heard this.I deduce from this Sun Chuanting's deeds that he should be a suitable candidate.At least from the current point of view, he has lived up to his expectations of him.

In fact, he didn't know that in the original history, Sun Chuanting forcibly collected food from the local gentry because the imperial court did not allocate military supplies and was unable to lead the army to suppress the bandits; He will soon coerce the people to rebel, and he has killed people along the way. Whether it is a thief or a commoner, he does not distinguish, and strikes decisively.

For such a character, it is indeed a good choice for him to open the sea ban, collect taxes, and combat tax evasion and tax evasion.If it were someone else, even Hong Chengchou or Lu Xiangsheng, they might not be as good as him!

Seeing that he agreed, Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, so he encouraged him again, and recruited Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the three of them discussed the matter of banning the sea, and discussed in detail for about an hour before concluding this time. meet.

Of course, on Liu Guoneng's side, Emperor Chongzhen also received him, and praised Liu Guoneng's move to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and asked him to make persistent efforts. After going to Fujian, listen to the words of the governor of Fujian, don't let down the grace of the saints, and honor your ancestors!
Liu Guoneng had seen such a situation before, and the emperor valued him so much. He had already given his heart to the emperor.
Emperor Chongzhen rewarded Liu Guoneng's army who brought him to Fujian. Each person was rewarded with ten taels of Ming paper money, which was equivalent to a year's military pay for the frontier army. Not from ear to ear, there is no trace of the psychological burden of defecting to the court and letting down the bandit army.

Unlike Emperor Chongzhen who used money to boost morale, the cavalry led by Mang Gurtai chased the Dongjiang cavalry day and night. They were supported by hatred and arrogance, and their morale was also high. No one was passive and slowed down because of exhaustion. .

At this moment, Mangurtai and the others were stopping to take a breath. The most important thing was to give the horse something to eat, slowly, otherwise the horse would not be exhausted.

Mang Gurtai himself was very depressed and aggrieved, so he transferred all the anger that Huang Taiji gave him to the Dongjiang cavalry. Regardless of his exhausted body, he shouted loudly to the guards around him: "Send the order, and we will be determined." We can't let Minggou escape, we have to speed up a bit later, Minggou has absolutely no fighting power, as long as we can catch up with them, we can avenge our clansmen and clear our name!"

Mang Gurtai absolutely believed that the cavalry he led was already exhausted, how could those Ming dogs be better?As long as you can catch up, you win!

If he could take Dongjiang Mingjun back and avenge so many clansmen, he believed that his prestige would be improved a lot. If Huang Taiji still wanted to bully him like that, it would not be so easy!

Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly reported back on his horse, saying that judging from the traces left by the Dongjiang Ming army, they should not be far ahead.It's just a little strange. Among the traces left by the Dongjiang Ming army, there seems to be traces of carriages.

"That must be the gold and silver treasure that was snatched by the Ming dog!" Mang Gurtai immediately came to such a conclusion without thinking about it, and then he didn't care about resting for a while, and immediately sent an order to continue the pursuit.

Indeed, as Mang Gurtai expected, the Dongjiang Cavalry Army was exhausted at this time, and even their horses could hardly move.They started from Haizhou, moved day and night, swept northward near Liaoyang, secretly chased and suppressed their army, and then harmed the surrounding areas of Shenyang, then continued to feint and run to Fushun, and finally took advantage of the cover of night to surprise the customs. During the day, there was basically no rest, so it's no wonder that I wasn't tired!

Originally, I could go faster, but the carriage couldn't run fast, and there were women, children, and even old people in the carriage. Although they were covered with quilts, they still couldn't run faster, otherwise the people inside would not be able to bear it.It was thanks to the fact that these women and children were not pampered. They were used to hardships in Liaodong, and they could grit their teeth and endure it. Otherwise, it would be enough for Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Xingzhi to have a headache.

However, Wei Mulan eventually fell ill, with weakness and fever.This little girl obviously had never experienced such a difficult journey, and her body couldn't bear it anymore.However, she persisted, kept silent, and tried her best to be a good correspondent.She conveyed all the information from Emperor Chongzhen to Lu Xiangsheng immediately.

It was almost evening, and Lu Xiangsheng was leading the army on their way.Beside him, Mao Chengzuo suddenly pointed to the direction behind him, and said in surprise: "Master Zhongcheng, do you look behind us?"

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he turned his head to look, but saw countless black spots faintly moving at the end of the grassland.According to his experience, he immediately understood that the Jianlu cavalry army had finally caught up.

However, Lu Xiangsheng didn't panic at all. According to what the emperor said just now, it shouldn't be a big deal.

So, he immediately ordered more than 40 soldiers who looked tough, and allocated more than 40 crossbows that were not damaged. When he reached the end of the team, he was ready to shoot and kill the Jianlu Tanma who was the first to chase after him.

"Lord Zhongcheng, the future will be over!" Liu Xingzhi felt very disturbed that his family slowed down the speed of the cavalry, so he hurried over and said.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and said with a smile: "In terms of archery, all three of you are no match for one of you. Just go back and look after your family, don't worry about it!"
