I'm really not the carpenter emperor

When Zhu Youxiao came to Xinuang Pavilion, the eunuchs saw his gloomy complexion, deep frowning of his brows, and his eyes that looked like autumn water were really full of Qinghong.

The past few days have been cloudy and rainy in the capital. Under the gloomy sky, the supreme ruler of the empire is also extremely irritable due to various affairs.

Everyone didn't dare to speculate, and they didn't dare to speak nonsense, they didn't have the guts.

The courtiers of Zhidian Supervisor had to stand silently on both sides, listening to the footsteps of Emperor Tianqi gradually stepping into the Xinuang Pavilion, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Youxiao walked to the imperial case, sipped the cold tea that the eunuch had not had time to change in the future, and before he could sit down, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor.

Zhu Youxiao frowned and looked away.

The little eunuch, who was supposed to be responsible for changing the tea in time, saw the emperor's gaze, but knelt on the ground with a "thud", begging for mercy.

This incomprehensible begging for mercy confused Zhu Youxiao, so he waved his hand casually and ordered him to retreat, and the little eunuch who got the verbal order retreated as if he was in a hurry.

Wei Zhongxian waved away the gathered Zhidian palace supervisors, and at the same time lifted up the memorial in his hand, and smiled at Emperor Tianqi:

"Master, good news, Sun Chuanting is training soldiers in Yulin, and there are some clues."

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows, thinking that he finally had some good news, but he didn't show much joy, he just said lightly:

"Read it to me, forget it, show it to me!"

Wei Zhongxian's face turned pale at first, but when the emperor changed his words in time, he smiled again, and handed the memorial to the emperor respectfully.

"Sun Chuanting, deputy envoy of military preparations in Yulin, Shaanxi, played:

From the day I arrived in Yulin, I kept in mind the entrustment of the Holy Majesty and indulged in military affairs.Now we have formed an army of [-] brave and good at fighting. Because the children in the army are all taken from the land of Qin, they are named Shaanxi Army.

Hearing that Yang Yan was killed in the military chaos in Hangzhou, the minister was heartbroken.Now that the Shaanxi Army has been completed, I shall serve Your Majesty and the imperial court.

I invite the Shaanxi army to go to Hangzhou to quell the military chaos, arrest the rebellious party, and investigate the truth. "

Looking at this memorial, the irritability on Zhu Youxiao's face gradually dissipated and turned flat, and soon he became a little happy again. After closing the memorial, he said:

"Loyalty—"

"The old slave is here."

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stooped forward a few steps, and turned his ear to the side.

"This Sun Chuanting is really a pillar of the country!"

"Last year, he invited himself to go to Yulin Town. Originally, I was thinking that Yulin Town had many generals inherited from generation to generation. Of those proud generals, any one of their ancestors was a famous general with outstanding military exploits. He is a mere civil servant. I can't live."

"Looking at it this time, I have underestimated myself. Sun Baigu's talent goes far beyond training soldiers..."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian felt mixed feelings in his heart.

This time he recommended Sun Chuanting because he was thinking of the country and the emperor, but in fact, Wei Zhongxian and Sun Chuanting had always had a rift.

The reason for recommending Sun Chuanting was to please Emperor Tianqi, and also to recommend to the imperial court talents who could investigate and control chaos.

But when he heard that Sun Chuanting was reused and even praised by the emperor, Wei Zhongxian still felt a little regretful, but the matter has come to this point, he can only apologize.

I hope that Sun Chuanting will become famous in the future, and don't forget the kindness of today's recommendation!

"Yes, my lord, Sun Chuanting trained troops in Yulin Town. Not only did he subdue those proud masters, but he also led his troops to battle several times, and wiped out many local bandits and horse thieves."

"This is the military exploits of Sun Chuanting's Shaanxi Army in the first year of Tianqi. Please read it."

With contradictory thoughts, Wei Zhongxian presented Sun Chuanting's list of military exploits to Emperor Tianqi. Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to receive it, and he was overjoyed just by looking at it.

This Sun Chuanting is simply a heart-boosting medicine given to Daming by history!

In February of the first year of Apocalypse, Sun Chuanting recruited 3000 soldiers in Yulin Town. He did not choose generals, but only honest peasants who worked in agriculture.

In June, in the first battle of the Shaanxi Army, they destroyed a den of exile bandits, cut 18 ranks, killed two people in battle, and suffered [-] casualties.

At this time, the Shaanxi Army did not have the car formation tactics.

Until mid-July, when fighting with caravans in the wilderness, Sun Chuanting suddenly felt that the officers and troops were not enough to fight in the field, so he studied Qi Jiguang's art of war overnight, and finally created a car formation of his own.

That is to say, the formation of chariots, the enclosure of land as a city, a large formation, supplemented by sharp firearms, are like hedgehogs in field battles, can be attacked and defended, and are especially good at facing the impact of large cavalry.

Since then, Sun Chuanting has personally drilled the Shaanxi army, using local horse bandits and bandits to practice chariot formations. It took more than a year, and finally trained a Shaanxi army that suppressed the bandits with almost no loss.

The Shaanxi Army, which has just been established for a year, can produce such a record at this time. When the national guards are corrupt and their armaments are slack, it is like a bright light that illuminates the entire Ming Dynasty and Zhu Youxiao. heart of.

Sun Chuanting's name has since appeared on the pages of history.

"it is good!"

Zhu Youxiao said hello several times while watching, his mind was refreshed, it can be seen that seeing the emperor so happy, the surrounding palace people all relaxed and smiled happily.

"Decree to promote Sun Chuanting to the governor of Zhejiang, add the right servant of the Ministry of War, and lead the army and horses of the headquarters to Hangzhou immediately to quell the military chaos, clean up the remaining party, and strictly investigate the connection between the arson and the chaos!"

Wei Zhongxian sighed in his heart, and said:

"The old slave leads the order."

"Wait—" He had just turned around when he heard Emperor Tianqi call from behind, and added: "Sun Chuanting's subordinate, the title: Qin Jun!"

Chapter 226 Removal of Zhejiang Governor and 42 People

Extreme joy begets sorrow, what I'm talking about is the Southwest Lecture List.

Originally, after the imperial court confiscated the Southwest, it realized that the reason why the chieftains had become a disaster for a long time was because of the lack of education in the local area, and many local people had no centripetal force towards Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, whether the imperial court exists or not does not have a great impact on these native people.

Now that we are aware of the problem, we must solve the Tusi Rebellion from the root cause, so as not to pacify She'an, another Shapu will pop up.

From the first year of Tianqi, in terms of policy, the imperial court began to focus on the Sinicization education of the southwestern chieftains.

Who has the most people in Ming Dynasty now is the frustrated scholars from all over the country, as well as the students who have passed the examinations and are waiting to fill the vacancies of officials.

There are only so many official positions in the imperial court. Every few years, there will be a large number of students who have just passed the examination.

For these "talents", Zhu Youxiao naturally wants to give them grace, so that they will not continue to do nothing. This grace is the preferential treatment policy for giving lectures in the Southwest.

Apart from those trivial matters, there is only one thing that students care about most, which is to go to the Southwest to give lectures for two years or more, and they can give priority to filling vacancies after returning.

You must know that in reality, penniless people want to fill their vacancies and become officials, and those who can wait for it within two years are either someone in the court or the lucky ones.

In addition, the waiting time for most people is more than two years.

In the eyes of the students, having the experience of going to the Southwest to give lectures will also be of great help to their future careers, and the various preferential policies also make them dizzy.

After careful selection by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, as well as the strict review of the military computer room, the first batch of lists of students who went to the Southwest to give lectures began to be released in various places two months ago.

Being on the list means one thing, stepping into the official career is almost certain, after two years, most of these people on the current list will be transferred back to the Central Plains and become the main grassroots officials of the imperial court.

Of course, there must be a small number of people who want to make a fortune and rise step by step.

For these future "official lords", the local gentry and celebrities will naturally invite a wave of banquets. After participating in various banquets, the students themselves will have to drink to their heart's content to celebrate in advance the filling of vacancies two years later.

Obviously, the students have not realized how terrible it is to go to the Southwest to give lectures...

I don't know if it was taken advantage of by someone with a heart, but this time at the gathering of all living beings in Hangzhou, someone accidentally caught fire while celebrating with three or two friends at home.

Immediately after the fire broke out, the local government and the Dongchang branch sent people to investigate, and this time it was indeed an accidental "fire".

The fire was not intentionally set, it was purely because the scholars who were about to go to the southwest were too excited and ignited the hut where they lived.

In addition, the recent weather in Hangzhou is completely opposite to that of the capital. It has not rained for days and is extremely dry.

After that, the Dongchang Branch Office, which was supposed to continue the investigation, had to suspend the progress of the investigation, because the officers and soldiers of the Ninth Battalion stationed in Hangzhou took advantage of the fire and chaos in the city and raised the banner of making a fuss, causing a mutiny.

Since Yang Yan, the general manager of the defense, was shot to death by the rebels, the rebellion in the city became more lawless. The magistrate's yamen, the Dongchang branch office, and Jinyiwei's supervisory department for checking customs duties in Hangzhou were all murdered.

The city was in chaos, and at this time, the powerlessness of the civil servants was also revealed.

Except Zhang Quanneng, a civil servant from the Hangzhou prefecture, who mobilized hundreds of civilians to guard the magistrate's yamen, all the high officials in Hangzhou city were almost helpless.

Of course, facing such a major mutiny for the first time in the Apocalypse Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao attached great importance to it, and quickly issued a reply, which was announced by the Forbidden City Pegasus.

The emperor's attitude is very firm.

No matter what the reason is, any mutiny must be resolutely suppressed. If the rebellious soldiers persist in their obsession, they will not hesitate to wipe out the Nine Battalion in Hangzhou.

Whenever there is a major event, officials must be transferred.

In the last major earthquake in the three provinces, more than [-] officials have been transferred one after another.

Among the more than 80 people, more than 50 were demoted, dismissed, and investigated. In addition, more than [-] officials headed by Yang Sichang and Wen Tiren took office.

The impact of the Hangzhou mutiny was worse than the earthquake.

An imperial decree was issued in the Forbidden City, Wen Gurong, the governor of Zhejiang and a member of the Donglin Party, Wang Xinyi, the prefect of Hangzhou and a member of the Zhejiang Party, and 39 officials from Zhejiang and Hangzhou were all dismissed.

In addition, the three censors of the Zhejiang Province were dismissed and investigated on the grounds that they had shielded their fellow party members and failed to detect the signs of a mutiny in advance.

These three people will be imprisoned in the capital, and Dongchang will be responsible for the trial.

For such a major personnel change at the local level, the chief inspector did not formulate an imperial decree, and the cabinet did not approve the redemption, but the emperor issued the decree directly from the military computer room to the local government.

This is not over yet, since the mutiny cannot be quelled quickly, the imperial court must send capable ministers and officials to Hangzhou to take charge of the matter.

For the Donglin party members, the Hangzhou mutiny almost happened in their base camp, and if they sent their own people there, they would be said to be unfair if they were invited.

If the investigation is serious, the word-of-mouth among the people and the court will be affected.

What's more, no one can be absolutely sure that the mutiny of nearly 3 soldiers in the Hangzhou Ninth Battalion can be quickly put down. Even if it is put down, the losses caused will not be borne by oneself.

Once something goes wrong and the mutiny becomes even bigger, I'm afraid that the head will fall and the family will be implicated.

This is an errand that sits on the stove and is overcast and cloudy for several days in a row. No one wants to take this muddy water.

But just a few days ago, a stunned young man recklessly stepped in, that is, Sun Chuanting, the deputy envoy of Yulin military equipment in Shaanxi who volunteered to go to Hangzhou to quell the chaos.

Soon, the emperor's meaning was passed down.

Sun Chuanting, this little-known little soldier, actually leaped over the dragon gate with a carp, jumped several steps in a row, and was directly promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, making up for Wen Gurong's vacancy.

In addition, Yang Sichang, who made great contributions to the earthquake in the three provinces, was also directly transferred to Hangzhou to serve as a soldier, assisting Sun Chuanting and his subordinate Qin army in reconnaissance and reconciliation.

Regarding the two people's going to Hangzhou, there was rarely any opposition from the court.

In the eyes of others, this is obviously a deadly errand.

Although the Qin army had a good record in suppressing bandits in the Yulin area, after all, it was only a new army that had been formed for a year, and its previous opponents were nothing more than local trash.

In this mutiny, nearly 3 people from the Hangzhou Ninth Battalion were responsible for the rebellion!

Judging from the past experience of suppressing chaos, if you want to quickly eliminate the impact of the mutiny, unless you mobilize more than twice as many troops to encircle and suppress, the Qin army only has 3000 people, and the difference is ten times.

In such a situation, Sun Chuanting took the initiative to move forward. It cannot be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, it is stupid!

……

Shaanxi, Yulin Town.

Sun Chuanting was dressed in armor and a sash, standing on the commanding platform, with one hand on the sword at his waist, looking at the slowly moving team below, staring and saying:

"How's the assembly going?"

Niu Chenghu, general manager of Yulin Qian, was riding on a horse and directing the various departments. Hearing this, he clasped his fists and said in a deep and powerful voice: "Return to the military equipment, [-] people, all assembled."

"The chariots can be assembled, the armor can be sufficient, and the firearms can be fine?"

Sun Chuanting nodded, then asked again suddenly.

Niu Chenghu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said:

"The chariots are all ready, and the armor is still enough. The court sent two thousand new shotguns the day before yesterday. It is said that they are amazingly powerful. The subordinates have already distributed them to the musketeer battalion."

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting was a little satisfied, drew out his saber, and was about to order the whole army to leave Yulin and go to Hangzhou to quell the chaos, but suddenly a horse came and said in a hurry:

"Report for military preparations, Hangzhou urgent pond report!"

Chapter 227 Protecting the Great Banner of the Official Army

At the gate of Yulin city, the civil and military generals in the city came to see off one after another when they heard that Sun Chuanting would lead the Qin army to take office in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

This time, no matter those who were thinking carefully in their hearts or those who were really reluctant to leave Sun Chuanting, they all smiled and couldn't see anything wrong.

The soldiers of the Qin army hung the imperial flag sent by the capital a few days ago. First, the infantry with spears on their shoulders came out from the south gate of Yulin neatly, and then the cavalry rode on horses with sabers on their waists.

In the end, it is the train battalion with both offense and defense.

The train battalion was mostly heavy soldiers, and there were [-] musketeers equipped with new-style shotguns. Sun Chuanting and Mr. Qian Niu Chenghu rode in front of the train battalion, and gradually left with the most elite [-] cavalry.

The 3000-strong team of the Qin Army quickly walked out from the south gate and came to the official road. Looking from a distance, there were men, women and children on both sides who came to see each other off.
