Domineering Daming

Zhu Xu was not in the capital, and Sun Chuanting almost covered the sky with one hand. Even Sun Chengzong would not publicly speak out without sufficient reasons.

Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu discussed for a while, then left the cabinet and returned to the commander's mansion.

On the way, Qin Liangyu said, "Marshal, I'm a little worried about things in Shaanxi."

Sun Chengzong strolled, and said: "These people did not attack the rich state capital as usual, but moved quickly and swelled in remote rural areas. They are obviously not ordinary people, and they have some ideas. That Zhang Xianzhong was an abandoned student of the military academy back then, so he should learn from it." Quite a few, it’s not surprising to have this insight. There are still some people who give them support, mostly for the ‘New Deal’, and there’s nothing wrong with how the Chief Assistant handles them.”

Qin Liangyu looked worried, and said: "It is indeed right to deal with it this way, but the Shaanxi Police Department is scattered, wait for it to be mobilized and ready, I am afraid that Zhang Xianzhong will no longer know what it will look like and where it will be. If Zhang Xianzhong really becomes powerful, other I'm afraid there will be crowds everywhere, causing big troubles...Your Majesty, I will be in Sichuan soon..."

Listening to Qin Liangyu's words, Sun Chengzong's expression became serious, and he walked a little faster, saying: "In this way, in your own name, write a letter to Xiong Tingbi, asking him to pay close attention to the chaos in Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces. He made a decisive decision and sent troops to eradicate Zhang Xianzhong!"

Qin Liangyu nodded and said: "Fortunately, our reforms were done in a timely manner. The army is properly controlled, and the threat is minimized. As long as the army is stable, everything else is trivial."

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said: "Shoufu replaced hundreds of magistrates in one go. It is hard to say whether these people can control the situation. The relationship between those county magistrates and the local government is intricate. If one is not good, it may be ignited and burned to pieces. ..."

All the officials of the imperial court knew that the reforms of the imperial court were eager for quick success and quick benefits, and the methods were too strong, regardless of the people's sentiments.The mainstream idea is still the reformism of "slow, steady, and soft". Only those at the top want thorough reform.

This kind of reform mentality did not come from the hearts of these high-ranking officials, but was cultivated by the Qianqing Palace for many years, and the strongest will came from the emperor.

Qin Liangyu understood Sun Chengzong's meaning, nodded slightly, and said: "Then the localities should also be prepared, and be ready, there must be no prairie fire!"

Sun Chengzong walked into the main hall and said: "Call the people from all departments and bureaus for a meeting."

"Yes." Qin Liangyu responded.

The Shuai Mansion quickly held a semi-secret meeting, mainly aimed at possible large-scale civil uprisings in the local area.

Sun Chuanting was not idle here either. Officials from the garrison headquarters and the Ministry of War were called to the cabinet by him.

The final decision was that Chen Xinjia, the Minister of Security, went to Shaanxi in person to coordinate the security forces of the four surrounding provinces, and carry out a planned and targeted wipe-out of the bandits in each province.

At the same time, the word "Wei'an" appeared in official documents for the first time, and it was strictly ordered to maintain the stability of the place and prevent major disturbances.

Chen Xinjia rushed to Shaanxi, and the transfer order had been issued before. The Shaanxi provincial government had two levels of security forces, with 3000 guards, and they were on emergency standby in Xi'an Prefecture.

Zheng Chouyong, the governor of Shaanxi, is so busy that he can't sleep day and night.

The situation in Shaanxi has been fairly stable. Over the years, it has relied on continuous immigration, government relief, and the barely self-sufficient farm system. If there is another civil disturbance, the first person to be held accountable by the cabinet is the Shaanxi Governor's Yamen.

A group of people participating in politics and councilors also looked dignified, and made suggestions one by one.

"My lord, the most important thing now is to ensure that other places are not entered, and those big farms must be controlled, and they cannot be turned into rioters..."

"The other thing is to urgently notify the village chiefs and villagers in various places, and ask them to organize well so that they will not be coerced by bandits..."

"Minister Chen will take over the police department. We can't control it, but the magistrates and county magistrates have to strictly order them to ensure that they will not act rashly, let alone collude with bandits!"

……

Zheng Chouyong listened for a while, and said: "Well, post these immediately! I will go to General Yao personally, and the army will intervene when necessary."

Everyone was startled, they could tell that the Governor seemed not very optimistic about the Security Office.

Zheng Chouyong is the new governor appointed by Sun Chuanting. He has been in office for less than a year. As a recognized "reformer", he is under a lot of pressure, and quickly said: "Is there anyone familiar with that Zhang Xianzhong? Find someone to lobby. If he If you are willing to accept Zhao'an, I will promise him that the past will not be blamed!"

"Yes, I'll arrange it right now!" a member of the political party replied.

Zheng Chouyong just nodded, still feeling uneasy, and said: "Others, visit the Dazhuang near Xi'an Mansion, give them encouragement, and ask them to persevere, the disaster will pass soon."

Everyone nodded and quickly split up.

The "bandit chaos" in Shaanxi is different from the past. In the past, it was caused by disasters and official corruption.This time, the essence is to oppose the "New Deal" and oppose Sun Chuanting.

These people promoted by Sun Chuanting naturally spared no effort to prevent Sun Chuanting from being disadvantaged.

Shaanxi responded quickly, where no disturbances were appeased, and the tension did not spread.

When Chen Xinjia arrived in Shaanxi, he cleaned up and led 3000 people towards Fengxiang Mansion.

It is the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou provinces, with many mountains and complex terrain, and far away from the government.

Luojiazhai.

Zhang Xianzhong sat in a wooden room with a strong horse and a golden knife, looking at the six big men below, these are his six generals.

Zhang Xianzhong is now fat and fat, with a fierce face, looking at the one below, he said in a rough voice: "You have seen the imperial court's Zhao'an document, what do you think?"

Zheng Chouyong's edict has been sent, the content is very detailed, as long as Zhang Xianzhong is willing to surrender, not only will the past be forgiven, but also high-ranking officials and generous rewards.

"My lord, we cannot surrender, surrender is death!"

"My lord, let's just fight the official army. We have nearly 3000 people, but can't beat [-]?"

Chapter 1440 Overlooking Moxi

After Zhang Xianzhong finished speaking, two people spoke in unison and categorically opposed it.

But the others didn't speak, and Zhang Xianzhong didn't speak either.

As a person who has experienced a short orthodox education and knows that the imperial court is powerful and the capital is rich, Zhang Xianzhong does not want to spend his whole life dealing with the imperial court in poor mountains and rivers like this.

He didn't speak, and the people below looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how to continue.

A big man, named Sun Kewang, thought about Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Chen Xinjia's three thousand elite soldiers are not far away, and they are still carrying firearms. We are not opponents. Other places are also approaching, and they want to wipe us out here. Now, we have to escape to Guizhou or enter Sichuan. But Guizhou is very poor, there is no one family for tens of miles, and we cannot support our army of tens of thousands. Sichuan has many passes and difficult mountain roads, so we cannot go. The only thing we can do is, That is, before Chen Xinjia closed the siege, he quickly marched northward, as long as we got near the Great Wall, where the territory is vast, far away from the Xi'an Prefecture, and there are few officers and troops, we can gallop freely without fear of the officers and soldiers chasing and suppressing us..."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and said, "Why are you going north? There are several military garrisons ahead. Even if you run out, there are still cavalry at Yulin Pass near the Great Wall. Aren't we going to die?"

"We can't go north. Let's go to Guizhou. When we arrive in Guizhou, we will go to Yunnan, and then to Huguang. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. No one can do anything to us!"

The six members of Zhang Xianzhong were also factions. When Sun Kewang said it, objections suddenly rose.

Sun Kewang didn't explain anything, his expression was calm.

A few people argued for a few words, and suddenly they came to their senses.

Is it impossible to go north, pass through Guizhou, go to Yunnan, Huguang?Isn't this bullshit?1 of them traveled across provinces and government offices, running thousands of miles away from Shaanxi?

No one with a broken mind would do that!

Not to mention that they are unwilling, the people below are definitely even more unwilling to leave their hometown.

Zhang Xianzhong was expressionless, looked at Sun Kewang, and said, "You mean, you agree with the imperial court's offer?"

Sun Kewang said: "That also depends on the conditions given by the court. For example, the king must be at least a deputy commander, and he will be given a big house in the capital, ten thousand taels of silver..."

The others didn't know whether they had seen the general situation clearly, or they were aware of Zhang Xianzhong's secret attitude, they all looked at him without speaking.

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes flickered, and he said, "Can the imperial court give it?"
