Chapter 37 Section 8 Sun Chuanting's Miracle

Sun Chuanting is a governor known as a "frontier talent". When the governors of Shaanxi were rotated like a revolving lantern, Sun Chuanting stepped up at a critical moment.Chongzhen appreciates those who can step up at critical moments.On the eve of Sun Chuanting's taking office, Chongzhen hosted a family banquet in his own home to receive the governor cordially. Chongzhen first talked about the importance of the work in Shaanxi, and then talked about the arduousness of the work in Shaanxi, then viciously praised Sun Chuanting's enthusiasm for alleviating the country's worries, and finally asked Sun Chuanting if he had any difficulties.Sun Chuanting said that other difficulties can be overcome, but the difficulty of lack of soldiers in Shaanxi is very difficult to overcome.Without soldiers, the "rogue bandits" would come uninvited. When the "rogue bandits" came, the emperor would have a headache.So this difficulty still needs the help of the emperor to solve it.

Of course Chongzhen understood the meaning of Sun Chuanting's words, it seems that he would not go on the road without some money.It's no wonder that Shaanxi has been left in a financial deficit by "traffic bandits" in the past few years. There is no financial money, and recruiting troops is a problem.You can't recruit soldiers just by patriotic slogans, you have to give real money to others. But how much is appropriate?Chongzhen frowned.These days, more and more places ask for money. Although Shaanxi is difficult, it can't give more.He reluctantly asked Sun Chuanting how much he wanted, and Sun Chuanting slapped him.

fifty thousand? Chongzhen frowned. five hundred thousand. Sun Chuanting said without changing his face or heartbeat. Chongzhen couldn't help complaining about the case, wanting to be furious, but afraid that Sun Chuanting would take advantage of it and quit, so he had to sit down resentfully: There are too many, too many, and the court can't take it out at all. Sun Chuanting backed down a step: let's say 400,000, and 400,000 can guarantee the peace of Shaanxi. Chongzhen shook his head: there are still many.You have to be considerate of the difficulties of the imperial court. Hong Chengchou has spent a million dollars now, but the suppression of bandits is not over yet, so he has to continue to give money...

Sun Chuanting gritted his teeth: 300,000, no less.No matter how little, Li Zicheng and the others will sit in my seat.Your Majesty, you also know that Hong Chengchou's suppression of the bandits was not completely successful. Li Zicheng and the others fled back to Shaanxi with hundreds of thousands of horses. I have a long way to go! Chongzhen tentatively said: Or ask Hong Chengchou to allocate some money to you? Sun Chuanting asked Chongzhen: Do you think this is possible, Your Majesty? Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and felt that his grandma's asking Hong Chengchou to distribute some money was not much different from seeking skins from tigers.These days, I have only heard of eating money in, but I have never seen anyone spit out money.

A long time passed, Sun Chuanting's face was full of loneliness, and Chongzhen was still in the long exam.Suddenly, Chongzhen finished the long exam, and stretched out six fingers: I will give you this number, and you should stop haggling.You know, I don't like haggling.As a father, how can he bargain with his courtiers? If this spreads, the influence will not be good... Sun Chuanting was overjoyed and couldn't believe his eyes: 600,000? Go to zero.60,000... That's fine, don't talk about it anymore, my psychological bottom line was originally 50,000, but it has been greatly broken now, which can be regarded as my emphasis on military work in Shaanxi.I know that this money is definitely not enough, but I can only take out so much at present.The rest is up to you to figure it out.I can promise you one thing, as long as you don't break the law and don't put money in your own pocket, the imperial court will never interfere with the way you make money in Shaanxi!

Of course, what made Hong Chengchou admire Sun Chuanting was not that he got 60,000 taels of silver from the emperor, but the way he made money in Shaanxi. Sun Chuanting used the 60,000 taels of silver given by the emperor as start-up capital, recruited tens of thousands of people, and started his vigorous Weisuo farming campaign in Shaanxi.These people were farmers in their spare time and soldiers in their wartime, self-reliant and well-fed.Sun Chuanting called this mode of raising soldiers "to defend the land of Qin with Qin soldiers, and to support Qin soldiers with Qin salaries".Chongzhen was overjoyed to see Sun Chuanting on the road like this—this is good, and the Ministry of Households will no longer have to pay for Qin Bing in the future.It seems that the 60,000 taels of silver were not given in vain, and Sun Chuanting deserved to be a "frontier talent". He called on governors from all over the country to learn from Sun Chuanting, learn from his spirit of sharing worries for the country, and learn from his spirit of no longer asking the court for money.

Of course, Hong Chengchou's admiration for Sun Chuanting is not only because he can make money, but because he can see the talent of this person through Sun Chuanting's cleverness in making money. The so-called analogy, the so-called inference, all say that as long as one opening in a person's brain is opened, the other openings will also be opened.Sun Chuanting should be such a person.Such a person is a phoenix dragon among people, and it is something that can be met but not sought after.As long as such a person is given a goal, he can accomplish it if conditions are met, and he can also accomplish it if conditions are not created.

Hong Chengchou needs such a person too much.He decided to cooperate with Sun Chuanting to work on a major event. Because at this time Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang and Chuang general Li Zicheng had fled to Shaanxi.Hong Chengchou proposed to attack with Sun Chuanting, to catch a turtle in an urn.But what surprised him was that Sun Chuanting did not agree with this. He proposed a more specific goal.Sun Chuanting said that our goal is to capture these two people alive.One for everyone, it's fair, don't take credit for anyone. Hong Chengchou agreed. He couldn't disagree.Because Sun is a confident person.Extremely confident person.An extremely confident person is determined to do something, and he will go crazy to make it happen.

But Hong Chengchou was still a little worried, because although Sun Chuanting's soldiers were well-trained, compared with Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang's soldiers, the disparity was still too great. He wants to help Sun Chuanting, don't catch Chuang Wang when the time comes, and the governor of Shaanxi is captured alive. This is really not a joke.Gao Yingxiang has fought for many years, and his soldiers are ruthless.The emperor's ancestral graves dared to be burned, and arresting a governor would not be a piece of cake. Hong Chengchou quickly dispatched the general Liu Shaozong to support in southern Shaanxi, and urgently sent a report to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would send reinforcements to Shaanxi for support.

But Sun Chuanting ignored Hong Chengchou's righteous deed.In front of Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting actually said "too many soldiers are in the way", which made Hong Chengchou feel very upset-is this a man of god or a person with neurological problems?This is also how crazy his grandma is, Gao Yingxiang has an army of 100,000, what do you use to compete with others when you are short of major generals? ! Sun Chuanting did not give a reason. People of God have always given answers directly rather than giving reasons.Hong Chengchou had to let him go. It can only be left to him. In this extraordinary era, there are miracles everywhere. A laid-off postman can stir up the wind and water of Daming. What else can an in-service governor not do?

Maybe miracles do happen.Maybe. Sun Chuanting's eyes were wide open. Some people once said that he had big eyes and no gods, but he said that that is not called no gods, but introverted. No matter what it is called, generally speaking, Sun Chuanting's eyes are wide open, which means that he has seen a very important place or a very important thing. This time, Sun Chuanting saw a very important point. This place is called Heishuiyu. Heishuiyu is in the southeast direction of Zhouzhi, and there is a secret path leading directly to Xi'an.The legendary Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang will lead his brigade to Xi'an through this secret path.Sun Chuanting felt that if an ambush was set up to stop Gao Yingxiang in this place, he would die a miserable death. However, if an ambush is set up in this place, will Gao Yingxiang die a miserable death?Sun Chuanting could not give a definite answer. Life often cannot give a definite answer. This is the danger of life, but also the fun of life. But no matter what, Sun Chuanting was going to ambush in this pitifully narrow canyon with his pitifully small number of soldiers, and he wanted to quietly wait for Gao Yingxiang's team to arrive. This is what history waits for.The waiting of history is always full of inexplicable sadness. It is raining, just like those inexplicable sorrows. Gao Yingxiang came with his soldiers.They walk very slowly. Because Heishuiyu is too narrow. Because it was raining, the road was slippery. Because Gao Yingxiang and his soldiers had traveled a long distance and were tired. Sun Chuanting's eyes opened wide again.He finally saw the weakness of history, and the Waterloo of history hidden behind the weakness. Gao Yingxiang's Waterloo. Yes, Gao Yingxiang has many people, but that's all. If you are in an open place, a large number of people can be converted into combat effectiveness, but in Heishuiyu, a large number of people means getting in the way, and it is inconvenient to turn around. Sun Chuanting's troops attacked.They wait for work with ease and are well-trained, just like stabbing their opponents with sharp knives.It rained for four days and four nights, and the war went on for four days and four nights. In the end, Gao Yingxiang's soldiers could not move anymore. hungry. Because no one brought them food, and in the muddy Heishui Valley, they couldn't find food at all. There is no other way out but to surrender—it is too unrealistic to continue fighting, and I am so hungry that I can’t stand up, so how can I have the strength to fight? Sun Chuanting finally took over all the prisoners, including Gao Yingxiang himself.At that time, Gao Yingxiang was lying in the cave playing pendulum. Not only was he hungry, but he was also sick. It's malaria. Chongzhen was ecstatic when he learned that Sun Chuanting had captured Gao Yingxiang alive.He ordered Gao Yingxiang to be brought to Beijing to be executed, and Sun Chuanting was promoted to a higher rank at the same time.And Sun Chuanting is really the lucky star in Chongzhen's life. After the victory in Heishuiyu, he quietly won two more victories in Weinan and Xianyang Beiyuan.Even the two peasant army leaders Xie Zikuai and Zhang Miaoshou, who were as famous as Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, surrendered to Sun Chuanting-this time, they did not pretend to surrender but sincerely surrendered. Daming seemed to have suddenly turned from rain to sunshine, which made Chongzhen feel that after all, Daming was still alive, and the green smoke was still rising from the ancestral grave after all.The ups and downs of the past are the past in life. As long as you walk through it with your head held high, there will always be a sunny day ahead. The "rogue bandits" will be wiped out, and so will Huang Taiji's troops. The important thing is to constantly discover and use talents.But where is the talent?Although Sun Chuanting can be regarded as an individual talent, he is still only a marginal talent. To preside over the overall situation of the country, he needs an all-round talent.Especially after Zhang Fengyi died of illness, the position of minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty was still vacant, and there was an urgent need for an all-rounder to come out to take on this important task. All-rounder, all-rounder, where are you?Chongzhen searched and searched, miserable and distressed, really distressed, very distressed.
