433 Comparison with Zhang Xianzhong
No one doubted that Sun Chuanting was able to be promoted. But it was a bit surprising that he was promoted to the ranks of the vassal officials who were guarding one side.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was arbitrarily in this regard and did not listen to the opinions of his ministers. After the announcement, the meeting ended, but the chief minister Wen Tiren was left behind.
When there were only two kings and ministers left in the Wenhua Hall where the matter was discussed, Emperor Chongzhen asked with concern: "The governor of Fujian was removed, and the Ming Dynasty appointed He Qiaoyuan as the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the left censor, and was in charge of Fujian, governors, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, and the full-time opening of the sea, should it be implemented?"
From the current point of view, the most fierce opposition was the governor of Fujian. After the transfer order was issued, this clear order was probably because everyone knew the real reason why Xiong Wencan left Fujian.
Wen Tiren thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of peace, I think it is better to be the new governor of Fujian and have a tacit understanding with Governor He before deciding the world."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and felt a little anxious, so he nodded. Wen Tiren's steady idea also reminded him, and then discussed: "The sea ban should be mainly Fujian in the early stage. However, I am a little unbelievable to the local soldiers and sailors in Fujian. It is better to let Sun Chuanting bring some trusted soldiers there, so that someone can use it and do things easily."
"Your Majesty is wise, I agree!" Wen Tiren nodded and responded, "It's just that Governor Sun was just a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel before, and then he resigned from his post at home. I'm afraid there are no trusted soldiers?"
Of course, this so-called trusted military soldiers is not enough. To assist the governor in managing a province, it is better to have commanders and soldiers and lead the army. Judging from Sun Chuanting's resume, there are no such conditions.
But Emperor Chongzhen didn't think so. He had an idea in his mind and immediately replied: "After the Liu Kingdom who was recruited to enter the sky, I promised a guerrilla position. The previous idea was to deal with the Mongolian tribes in Tumochuan. Now, it can be asked to select soldiers from the surrendered bandits and then go south with Sun Chuanting. In this way, he was a guest army and had nothing to do with Fujian. Moreover, he and Sun Chuanting jointly made great contributions, so there should be no problem. What should Wen Qing think?"
Wen Tiren heard this and thought about it, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty is the most secure way to make such arrangements!"
Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said that the matter was settled. In fact, he suddenly decided to send Liu Guoneng to lead the army to follow Sun Chuanting to the south, and there was another intention.
Even if Liu Guoneng was forced to rebel by corrupt officials, he would not have a good relationship with the gentry. Including his subordinates, the same is true. There is another very important problem to overcome when opening the maritime ban, that is, tax evasion. From He Qiaoyuan's estimate that opening the maritime ban can bring tens of thousands of taels of silver and Zheng Zhilong's income is tens of millions of dollars a year. It can be estimated that some of them are estimated.
The most serious tax evasion is actually officials or businessmen who have a relationship with officials. If peasant troops are sent to collect taxes, it will definitely be much better than using the original official troops to collect taxes.
When Sun Chuanting comes to the capital to thank him, he will be able to start construction in Fujian.
Wen Tiren returned to the cabinet to draft the order according to Emperor Chongzhen's intention. However, the content of the order was transmitted to the first time through the contact information in the chat group.
Outside the Dai County, Shanxi, there are still countless tents, but they are the banner of the official army. In one of the tents, the former guerrilla general Liu Guoneng, who used to break into the sky, was a little depressed and filled with tea and quenched his thirst.
These days, countless peasant soldiers have surrendered. As a new recruit, he is familiar with the background of the peasant army, so he was assigned a task. Not only do he have to confine the peasant army, but he also has to hand over the peasant army that has been captured from the mountains and forests from the government army every day. It can be said that he is so busy that he has no time to rest.
This is not counting. Because he was recruited, when he was detained, he often heard curses like "traitors, court eagle claws" and other things, which made him feel very depressed.
Now, he was a little empty, and he envied Zhang Xianzhong. Although both of them were named guerrilla generals, Zhang Xianzhong didn't have to think that he was so busy, nor did he have to listen to the scolding of his brothers before, and he was ordered by the court to hug the cabinet's auxiliary ministers.
He could tell with his toes that if there were no accidents, according to Zhang Xianzhong's ability to be a human being, he would probably climb to the high branch of the cabinet's assistant, which would mean that he would have a backer in the court in the future.
"What a damn thing, I should have accepted a lot of adopted sons at the beginning!" Liu Guoneng thought depressedly, "As long as there is an adopted son as capable as Zhang Dingguo, I guess he won't be like this."
After thinking about this for a while, Liu Guoneng thought of Sun Chuanting again: "He has made such a great contribution, and the reward should not be bad! He is the only one who knows officials at present. I hope he can be promoted. In this way, although he is not as good as Zhang Xianzhong, he can have some backer!"
Just as he was thinking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao came to find him, but his subordinates came in and reported that Sun Chuanting had arrived.
When Liu Guoneng saw him, he did not dare to neglect him. He hurriedly welcomed him out in person and welcomed Sun Chuanting to the tent.
What surprised him was that Sun Chuanting, who had always been expressionless, seemed to be in a good mood today, and there was a rare smile on his face.
Before he could speak, Sun Chuanting smiled and said to him: "The emperor appointed this official as the deputy censor of the Zuodu, Fujian, and the imperial decree has been issued from the capital. When the imperial edict is received, I will go to Beijing to thank him and then go south!"
When Liu Guoneng heard that Sun Chuanting was going to Fujian, his heart suddenly stumbled, and he was broken. The backer he had identified was no longer reliable!
However, he immediately came to his senses, was shocked again, and quickly showed a happy expression, clasped his fists on the spot to congratulate Sun Chuanting, which turned out to be a rank-in official, which was a bit unexpected.
Sun Chuanting smiled and accepted it calmly, then looked at Liu Guoneng for a while. Just when Liu Guoneng thought there was something wrong with his face, he spoke: "The court has another order to promote you to Fujian General and take office with me."
"Ah, what?" Liu Guoneng could not have imagined that such a good thing would have been promoted to himself a higher level and subconsciously confirmed: "Fujian General?"
Sun Chuanting smiled and nodded, confirming to him: "It is a Fujian general, and he is not an empty-handed general. The court ordered you to select elite troops among the thieves who were detained to lead the south."
Liu Guoneng opened his mouth wide when he heard this. This means that he was transferred to Fujian with one level and still had real power, and he was following Sun Chuanting, the governor of Fujian.
Hehe, wouldn’t that be better than Zhang Xianzhong!
