Three hundred and sixtieth chapters alone

An undetectable sneer flashed across Old Zhou's face, who had already received Wei Zheng's secret letter a day ago.·

Then, he spoke to the lion of Sun Chengzong.

"Sir, in the past six months, our provinces in Shanxi and Shaanxi have bought more than five million dan of grain in Jiangnan. Faced with our big customer, several major grain merchants in Jiangnan have joined forces to raise the price of the grain we purchased many times."

"Now, the price of buying a slaughter of grain from Jiangnan has increased from two taels of silver half a year ago to four taels of today, and we also have to trade in cash... "

"In addition to the cost of grain during transportation, the cost of one pound of grain has reached five taels of silver per pound."

"So, if an adult wants to buy enough food for 300,000 victims at one time, he must give his subordinates one million and five million taels of silver at one time. Otherwise, even if the adults cut down the official's head, the subordinates will not be able to buy food..."

One million and a half taels of silver were exactly all the silver he had. No matter how confused Sun Chengzong was, he would not agree to this request.

So, Sun Chengzong decided without thinking: "One million taels of silver is impossible. However, this official can give you one million taels of silver. As much as you can buy, you can buy as much as your food..."

"In a word, within half a month, you must send it to Shaanxi. At that time, our official will draw 1,000 Beijing camps to Shaanxi to cooperate with local officials in disaster relief. If it is not completed, you are waiting to be dismissed from the court..."

Under Sun Chengzong's clever gaze, Old Zhou directly showed a embarrassed expression on the surface.

After a cup of tea, he spoke, "Since that's the case, the officials will receive the order..."

After leaving the Governor's Mansion with a heavy and helpless expression, Mr. Zhou immediately showed a treacherous smile unique to a businessman.

According to his report to Sun Chengzong, he would buy him more than 200,000 dan of grain for one million taels of silver.

However, this is not the case. As the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, Sun Chengzong could not go to Jiangnan to personally understand the situation and understand the price of grain he bought.

One million taels of silver were sent to Mr. Zhou. At least 400,000 dan of grain could be exchanged from the grain merchants in Jiangnan. More than 200,000 dan of grain was sent to Shaanxi, and the remaining more than 100,000 dan of grain was sent to Laizhou Bay, Shandong through the sea, and further expanded the scale of salt fields and the number of troops.

After Mr. Zhou left Datong with one million taels of silver, Sun Chengzong's nervous heart subconsciously relaxed.

However, what Sun Chengzong did not expect was that the peaceful days had not passed two days before. The prefect of Yulin sent another expedited document.

After thousands of rioters obtained food and weapons, with the addition of a large number of rebels, these rioters had gradually evolved into a new rebel army invisibly, with a total force of almost 5,000.

More importantly, this rebel was no longer limited to small-scale fights and began to attack the county towns in Yulin.

Faced with this situation, Sun Chengzong, who has been through the battlefield and officialdom for a long time, knew about it.

If you want to prevent the situation in Shaanxi from getting worse and worse, and persist until the food you purchased returns to Shaanxi, you must send troops immediately to eliminate the rebels in the bud and prevent them from becoming bigger again.

Soon, the garrison generals who commanded two thousand Beijing camps came to the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.

The reason why Sun Chengzong was the first to choose the 2,000 Beijing camps instead of the Tiger and Leopard Army with strong combat power was not only a helpless move by Sun Chengzong, but also a conspiracy by Sun Chengzong.

Speaking of helplessness, so far, no general of the Tiger and Leopard Army has come to pay homage to him, the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi and the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

From this point of view, Sun Chengzong was sure that in the eyes of tens of thousands of Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers, his commander was not recognized by them. In this case, once the military order he issued was ignored by them, the little prestige he had just established in the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces would disappear completely.

As for the conspiracy, it is to prove to all civil and military officials of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces that he took office as the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, not only brought 1.5 million taels of silver, but also brought 2,000 well-trained Beijing camps. He also had an army that was completely obedient to him, and through them, he further increased his influence in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces.

As for whether the two thousand Beijing camps can eliminate these revived rebels, Sun Chengzong is full of confidence.

You should know that these two thousand Beijing camps were carefully selected from tens of thousands of Beijing camps. Even the generals in command of the army repeatedly asked the emperor to let their confidant students take the role.

After talking about the situation to the student standing in front of him, a fanatical expression appeared on the student's face.

In the eyes of this garrison general, the Tiger and Leopard Army can easily eliminate the rebels. As the most well-equipped Beijing camp in the Ming Dynasty, it can also easily eliminate these rebels. As long as you can eliminate these rebels, what is waiting for you must be an additional official position...

So, the garrison general with a passionate face, shouted arrogantly without thinking: "Please rest assured... Give the general ten days to cut off all the heads of these rebels..."

In Sun Chengzong's view, the students' arrogance is not underestimating the enemy, but self-confidence.

So, as soon as the garrison general finished speaking, Sun Chengzong smiled with satisfaction and said, "General Tang, I believe in you..."

"When I go back, I tell you the two thousand brothers that I have prepared a reward of 20,000 taels of silver for everyone... As long as everyone wipes out these rebels, the 20,000 taels of silver will be everyone's."

"As for you, General Tang, I will definitely submit a memorial to the court and ask the court to increase your title..."

"Mr. Xie cultivates it. The general will definitely live up to his high expectations and wipe out this rebel..."

The two thousand Beijing camps, with the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy, took only one day to prepare for the silver.

After receiving this news, Wei Zheng, who was still bedridden, directly found Zhou Shuyuan and ordered with a fanatical command.

"Everything should be prepared is ready. Next, it is time for us to reap the results and turn Sun Chengzong into a lonely man."

"Secretly order General Zhou Yuhong to eat it as long as these two thousand Jing camps enter Shaanxi..."

"However, during the battle, if you can not hurt people, you won't hurt people... If two thousand soldiers of the Beijing camp can still do a lot of things if they can capture them..."

"As long as we lose these two thousand Beijing camps, if Sun Chengzong wants to wipe out the rebels in Shaanxi that have just revived, he can only rely on our Tiger and Leopard Army. However, our Tiger and Leopard Army is not so easy to mobilize."
