Chongzhen would issue an order to Sun Chuanting to take Pingliang Prefecture as the key military farming site, and guide the hungry people in western Shaanxi to the Hetao area, and minimize the number of hungry people flocking to the south. Because the mobile hungry people are the most terrifying. If they are stable and have stuttering, they will think that the court has not abandoned them; if they have hope in their hearts, they will not have the idea of ​​zào     fǎn.

As long as the measures and employment are appropriate, and strict supervision, Pingliang Prefecture and Xi'an Prefecture will become the most densely populated grain-producing area in Shaanxi in the future. Chongzhen will send a large number of Jinyiwei to it, and the court will also arrange for the censor to inspect and supervise it.

This process will take about three years, and the court will also need appropriate supplies.

The Hetao region is adjacent to Ningxia Town in the north and to the Tatar Tumote tribe in the west. As long as there is enough food in the future, the huge loss of long-distance transportation by the imperial court will be avoided, and the border troops will launch an offensive against the surrounding Mongolian tribes.

Cao Bianjiao is the best general to manage this area.

According to his elusive way of leading troops, if he was given a cavalry of more than 10,000 people, it would be a nightmare for the Mongolian tribe.

In his memorial, Sun Chuanting self-examination of Tuo Yangkun's surrender and rebellion, and expressed dissatisfaction with the arrogance of some generals. His words imply that Hong Chengchou was too accommodating and indulging in those arrogant and powerful generals.

He believed that although the main reason for Tuo Yangkun's rebellion was Xu Zhong and Liu Yingjie's blackmail and intimidation, the two had been under the command of the governor of the five provinces for a long time. If the two had not been under the supervision of Duke Hong, they would not have done any other excessive actions.

After all, Tuo Yangkun and Zhang Wenyao have surrendered and have become officials. How can there be a general who publicly asks for money from his colleagues?

Chongzhen expressed his understanding of Sun Chuanting's complaints. However, Xu Zhong and others were not the mainstream of the official army, and most generals of this period did not dare to do too much.

As he traveled through time, the helpless situation of the court's excessive dependence on border generals in history has completely changed.

The force in his hands is now quite powerful.

Sun Chuanting's 15,000 Qin army, Lu Xiangsheng's 6,000 Tianxiong army, 6,000 Sichuan army and 5,000 Huang Degong's troops, Sun Yingyuan's 20,000 Yongwei camps, 30,000 Jing camps under training, and Qin Liangyu's white-rod soldiers, these are all loyal and obedient elite troops.

The excellent weapons and armor produced by military weapon supervision are given priority to these armies, which is a reliance on future conquests.

This team of nearly 100,000 people is enough to shock any border general who wants to gain a self-respecting force.

What's more, there are the seven thousand soldiers of Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew, Yang Guozhu, and the powerful Xuanda Border Army. Once something happens, these are all trustworthy generals proved by actions in history.

The more difficult one is Guanning Army.

But the current form is very different from the original history. The Liaodong Army did not do anything excessive. It just kept asking the court for money, but they did not lack food.

Zu Kuan and Li Chongjin, who obeyed Lu Xiangsheng's orders, did not violate Lu Xiangsheng's general orders at all, and there was no historical phenomenon of resisting orders.

This has little to do with successive victories and their own losses.

Wu Sangui and Zu Dale, under Hong Chengchou, never said they would go back to Liaodong, at least they were obedient on the surface.

Enough rewards are the most important means. Do you feel embarrassed to be disobedient with the money given by others? People in the past are benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and will not pick up a bowl to eat meat, put down chopsticks to curse your mother like in the future. Such actions will make people laugh at it. That is a pure villain's behavior.

In the later generations without etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, as long as you have money, you are your own father and do nothing without any scruples in doing things.

If you do not believe in ghosts and gods, do not respect the world, have no faith, and your etiquette will be broken and your music will be ruined.

Simplicity xǐ   nǎo cannot solve the problem. People are realistic. If you talk for a long time, it is better to pay ten taels of silver per person.

It is too naive to take it for granted to use the ideals and beliefs of later generations to maintain the unity and loyalty of the army.

At this time, there was no concept of a country and nation, and there was no saying that the country was destroyed. When the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, it would be a change to the court. When the emperor died, it would be a change to another.

If the Qing Dynasty had not been to let go of the head but not the hair, the resistance in the Jiangnan area would not have been so fierce.

Besides, in an era when the illiteracy rate is as high as more than 90%, do you tell the soldiers what ideology and beliefs you have. Can they understand?

If you say a thousand words and ten thousand, real money is the most practical. Can beliefs and ideals be exchanged for money and food?

Most soldiers think so if they give money and food.

Joining a military war is not to listen to your stories, but to earn money to support your family.

What country, nation, future and destiny have anything to do with stabbing people with a knife?

If xǐ    nǎo works, then you can just send someone to attack the thief.

You go and tell Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others about the national justice. He will let you know whether your neck is hard or your knife is hard.

You go and talk to the Liaodong warlords about your ideals, and he will throw you into the fire and burn it to death.

The troops of Zhang Wenyao and the troops of the Northwest thieves who were selected to join the army were about 10,000. The food, pay, weapons, armor and equipment of this group of people must be distributed and supplied in a timely manner. Only when the materials are in place can the doubts in their hearts be eliminated.

Sun Chuanting's thoughts on division of troops in his memorials showed his outstanding insights.

It is better to pursue the defeated enemy with the remaining courage.

Only after completely eliminating small thieves will merchants dare to go out to operate and the people can farm and survive with confidence.

No business can survive.

Without the promotion of commercial activities, it would be a dream to make people's lives better and better.

Can't one live by eating?

Needle, thread, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cloth, shoes and hats all need to be trafficked.

Now, where are there merchants selling these items for a long distance? Is it a waste of my life?

These are all necessities for the people and the most basic daily necessities. Only after they are completely safe can these materials be circulated.

The move of Sun Chuanting to lead his army to Ningxia Town made Chongzhen even more amazed. Because this was a step in his plan, he did not expect that Sun Chuanting would think of it and was implementing it.

Although he didn't know that Sun Chuanting took another path to make contributions because he was unwilling to follow Hong Chengchou and obeyed his command.

The reason why a celebrity becomes famous is because he has extraordinary vision and ability, and he always shows his uniqueness in some places. This is the reason why he is not a vain person under his reputation.

I just traveled to the emperor and had more knowledge and vision than the ancients. In terms of IQ, I am far inferior to myself.

Ningxia Town is a potential instability factor.

This is a place that the imperial court has ignored for many years.

In the past twenty years, the court's attention has been focused on Liaodong and thieves, and has long lost interest in Ningxia Town, which defends Mongolian tribes.

The Mongolian tribes have been declining for many years and posed no threat to the Ming Dynasty. Those border troops that have guarded the border for several generations have become useless.

But the border troops in Ningxia Town are very powerful.

The Qing Dynasty’s Gansu Green Camps, which eliminated the Three Feudalists’ rebellion in history, were the Qing Dynasty’s Gansui Green Camps, and most of these powerful soldiers came from Yi Ningxia Town and Yansui Town.

Sun Chuanting must have realized this, so he went to solve the problem as an important official in the border area.

To restrain the generals with their identities, suppress the soldiers of the border with heavy troops, eliminate unstable people in the army, and then supplement them with sufficient food and salary to gather the hearts of the army and the people, and create a soldier that dares to fight. This should be Sun Chuanting's plan.

Now I'm waiting for Hong Chengchou's battle report. More than 20,000 elite troops should be no problem to deal with Li Zicheng who is still in full swing.

The key is not to let the later rebel general escape, he is the famous Xiaoqiang who cannot be beaten.

When I thought of Yansui Town, a famous name flashed through Chongzhen's mind like lightning.

Zheng Chongjian!

Why did you forget this old man?

This Sun Chuanting’s hometown party is also a very awesome person.

After traveling through time for nearly two years, my mind is full of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou. How could I forget this uncle?

The governor of Yansui is very important. The border troops in Yansui Town posed a direct threat to the bandits in northern Shaanxi, but why have you never heard Zheng Chongjian’s movement?

No, I quickly sent someone to Yansui Town. The old man is not young anymore. Although he has been to Yansui Town for less than three years, the border town has a very bad condition and has to send an imperial physician to see him.

There are also food, money and weapons, and people have to be sent.

The border troops in Yansui Town need to be reorganized, and there is no problem with Zheng Chongjian's ability.

The reconstruction of border troops in Ningxia Town and Yansui Town should be mainly cavalry.

Except for Liaodong, there were tens of thousands of cavalry, most of the other generals lacked war horses and cavalry under their command.

A brave general like Cao Bianjiao who loves guerrilla warfare had only one thousand cavalry at most.

These two border towns are close to Mongolia, with rich resources of war horses and many soldiers who can ride horses to fight.

As long as the food and salary are sufficient, it should not be difficult for the two towns to recruit a cavalry of tens of thousands.

If you want to increase the number of cavalry, aren’t there any Mongols outside the wall?

The Ming Dynasty now has no concept of a country and nation, let alone the barbaric, rude and ignorant Mongolian tribes.

Besides, there have been precedents of recruiting Mongolians to the war since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

There were a lot of Mongolians in the early Ming army, and these Mongolians who joined the Ming army took action without mercy when conquering their compatriots.

This tradition has actually been preserved, but the court has been in financial difficulties over the years and there is no extra expense to recruit foreigners to join the war.

Now that I have money, this glorious tradition needs to be carried forward.

The current Eight Banners of the Mongolians in Jiannu are basically mainly the Korqin Mongolian tribes, and they have not yet entered the west to recruit tribes such as Tumote.

In other words, Jiannu has not completely conquered Mongolia now.

The thief can go, and I can go too.

The Tumote tribe west of Qinghai is the most ideal alien warrior.

For the Mongolian tribe who are poor and only have shorts, let alone silver, as long as there is food, there is no problem in recruiting thousands or tens of thousands.

Just ask the Ministry of War to send people to Zheng Chongjian and Yansui Town. All he had to do was to get the money and food.

According to Chongzhen's decree, the cabinet issued a document to all regions. Now the governors of all provinces have begun to work on farming, which has never happened in history.

In order to completely stabilize the hearts of the people, Chongzhen took out one million taels of silver from the treasury and delivered it to all places according to the severity of the disaster.

You cannot be a slave to keep money. If you die, you will feel cowardly. Whether for yourself or for the people, you must give up and be willing to give up and be unwilling to give up.

With Sun Chuanting's successful experience in Xi'an Prefecture and with the support of the emperor's treasury, large-scale land reclamation and farming have been carried out.

We must never let another Shaanxi appear again. As long as farmers have fields and the government has food support, there will be harvests in the coming year.

Now there is no shortage of money, but the shortage is food. The Zheng family is still transporting rice by sea. This is considered to be a reward for the favor. The Fujian General was able to get such a big reward, which shows that the Zheng family is quite conscientious.

Should I be given a title of uncle to Zheng Zhilong?

If I were really a Bo Feng, the Zheng family should be able to feel the true friendship of the court, right?

Chongzhen thought about it carefully and let it go. Only by being awarded a title by military achievements can one be granted a title, so he must not be good at this point; the country's important weapon should not be lightly used.

Zheng Zhilong in history was not an ungrateful king. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was about to collapse, he followed the trend and made a wise choice, just to maintain the wealth of the Zheng family. Unfortunately, he failed to get what he wanted and met a ruthless boss.
