Chapter 84 Sun Jie's Conditions

"What do you want to say?" Sun Chuanting looked at Sun Jie and asked in a deep voice.

Even though he was defeated, even though the gap was huge, a scholar like him still had three points of backbone.

In my heart, I am amazed that Sun Jie's weapons are powerful and sharp, but in terms of face, he has to keep a bit of dignity.

Handing the armor back to Chen Hu, Sun Jie sat down at the table.

He didn't answer Sun Chuanting's question, but pointed to the meals on the table.

Said: "These meals are ordinary military rations in the army. Ordinary soldiers can also enjoy them, and there will be extra meals during wartime!"

Sun Chuanting's face twitched, and the corners of his eyes kept fighting.

There was silence again.

I don't know vermicelli, but I know beef.

It is inhumane that ordinary landlords can't afford this thing, but they supply it to ordinary soldiers!
Weapons and equipment are the hard power of an army, and food and logistics are the soft power of an army.

Fighting, what are you fighting for?To some extent, it is logistics.

The purpose of Sun Chuanting's clean-up of the army is to produce enough food to support the army.

He is well aware of the consumption of an army, and the impact of food and grass on the combat effectiveness of an army.

If it is true as Sun Jie said, the cost of raising [-] soldiers, put it on the Ming army, can raise at least [-] soldiers or even more.

His expression flickered, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

If he has such logistics, he will be able to train one hundred thousand soldiers, and by then, he will win the fame of the front and back, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and conquer the sky.

The big tent fell completely silent, and the footsteps of soldiers patrolling could be heard outside.

The footsteps were steady and powerful, sonorous and tenacious.

"My officer, I am not wronged if I lose!"

After a long time, such a sentence was said.

It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and the momentum on his body was completely sluggish.

"What is your request?" Sun Chuanting asked.

I don't want to be entangled anymore.

"My request is very simple, and I won't open my mouth like a lion!"

Sun Jie smiled, took out a piece of paper with requirements written on it from his arms, and spread it on the table in front of him.

Sun Chuanting picked it up and looked around.

There are a total of twenty items listed, which seem to be quite a number.

Thinking that Sun Jie opened his mouth wide, his brows were tightly frowned.

Article [-]: Release all the Qin merchants headed by Sun Chuwen's family, return all the goods of the Qin merchants, and at the same time post big-character posters in the city of Xi'an to admit the government's mistakes.

After reading only one item, he looked at Sun Jie, "Release Sun Chuwen's family, all the people from Qin and Shang, and all the goods. I can do all of these, but the last one, I'm sorry I can't do anything!"

He said it decisively, and there was no room for loopbacks.

How can this be done?If this is true, what is the prestige of the government?

At that time, who will trust the government?Who would be afraid of the government?
Everyone knows that the government has suffered in the hands of Qin Shang. By then, wouldn't Qin Shang become the master of the government?

Once this example is opened, how to control the people of Shaanxi?

"Master Sun, do you think there is room for discussion between you and me?
Don't you think my soldiers outside the account are disadvantaged?Are strong men not fierce? ! "

Sun Jie pressed on every step of the way, without giving in.

It's a joke, if you want to run Shaanxi, you must step on the prestige of the government.

It has already been rotten to the root, so this behavior is in line with common sense.

"you!!!"

Sun Chuanting glared at him and leaned forward.

Chen Hu on the side had already put on his armor, put his right hand on the waist knife, his eyes widened, and he snorted coldly!
"Hmm~"

With full momentum, Sun Chuanting glared at Chen Hu back and sat down again.

No more words, and then read the next article.

I have already agreed to this matter, and now I have to smash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

The loser will always have to surrender, so why question it? !

Article [-]: Rename the city to Fuping Fort, ask for the post of Shanxi Middle Road General, within a radius of tens of miles of the city, all are under the rule of Central Road General.

The request is briefly stated, there is a lot of room for manipulation, and there is a lot of leeway.

Sun Jie really didn't know if there was such an official position as a general in Shaanxi Middle Road.

However, it doesn't matter.If I didn't directly ask them for a position as a general, I would take care of them, so what else could I ask for?

The official position of the general is not small, second only to the deputy chief of the army, and it is more flexible.

On this point, Sun Chuanting didn't have such a big reaction just now.

Participating generals started as military officers of the third rank, counting 30 to [-] years ago, they were still worth some money, but now, that's all there is to it, there are many big and small army leaders, and the military discipline is corrupt, so it's not that valuable.

As for the area with a radius of tens of miles, it doesn't matter. After all, it is a yellow land full of ravines. The barren land cannot grow food, and it is farther away from Xi'an Mansion, so it doesn't matter if it is allocated to him.

There is no doubt about the second point, so I agreed immediately.

Article [-]: All matters in the army, big or small, are under the control of Sun Jie, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere.

It doesn't matter much either, agree.

Article [-]: Court officials are prohibited from entering the territory without Sun Jie's consent, and those who forcibly invade will be killed without mercy.

The fifth:……

There are a total of twenty articles in all, involving all aspects, some are difficult to accept, and some are acceptable.

After reading all the above content, Sun Chuanting was already sweating profusely.

There is anger, resentment, and dissatisfaction.

There was another resounding drill chant outside the big tent, and all the anger and unwillingness turned into sighs.

The form is in duplicate, with Sun Jie and Sun Chuanting's respective names on it.

"This matter is over, let's go, don't send it off!"

Sun Chuanting stood up, gritted his teeth, cupped his hands towards Sun Jie, turned and left.

Sun Jie looked at his back and said, "A word to Mr. Sun, the truth is always within the range of the cannon, and the weak will be beaten. If you don't get beaten today, it's just that I don't want to beat you!"

Sun Chuanting paused, stopped and turned around.

"How come such cumbersome fallacies at such a young age?!" His face was gloomy to the bottom.

Sun Jie said calmly, "What if I am the loser today? Can I survive?!"

Sun Chuanting shook his head, "No!"

"No, slow down!"

Sun Jie arched his hands, expressionless.

This is the coldness and warmth of human feelings, and the field of morality, fame and fortune has always been so realistic.

……

At dusk, Sun Chuanting walked into the governor's office.

The wind blew, and it was a bit chilly in this spring season.

On the street behind, bursts of dust flew into the sky, making it even more panicky and desolate.

Walking outside the hall, he took a few deep breaths.Then walked in.

Cao Huachun and Yang Sichang were sitting inside drinking tea, looking very comfortable.

People's sorrows and joys are never interlinked. They were just passing by. After they left, Sun Chuanting had to clean up the mess.

"how?"

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Cao Huachun stood up with a lot of relief on his face.

He took out the treaty signed with Sun Jie and handed it over to Cao Huachun.

Looking at the content above, Cao Huachun smiled happily.

The above content has almost nothing to do with Cao Huachun.

This matter has been understood.

Yang Sichang leaned next to Cao Huachun and read all the contents above.

Similar to Cao Huachun's reaction.

"Looking at it this way, Sun Jie is a man of current affairs, and looking at it this time, he's not bad at all!" Yang Sichang let out a long breath, indescribably relieved.

Sun Chuanting sat down, looked at the roof quietly, and remained silent.

"Your Majesty Sun has suffered a lot this time, how about this, let me write the memorial to His Majesty!"

Yang Sichang patted his chest, with a smile on his face, he almost caught up with the wild flowers beside the wild road.

Sun Chuanting didn't say anything and let him go.

Yang Sichang has some skills, and his brushwork is even more outstanding, and he has won the essence of Chunqiu's brushwork.

That night, a "perfect" memorial was written.

The letter read: "...the rebellious king is very powerful, and his rebellious party thieves have entrenched Fuping County outside the city. They have been operating for decades, and there are many followers, more than [-] elites.

……

Boya defended against the enemy outside the city, but Nanyuan was newly victorious, and his soldiers and horses were exhausted.

There is a saying in the art of war: It is the best strategy to subdue the enemy's army without fighting.For the sake of the people of Shaanxi, and also for the sake of the people of the world, Boya entered the tiger's den three times, and his mouth was full of lotus flowers...

Cao Ru (Cao Huachun's word) also gave up his life for righteousness, entered the nest of rebels three times, and made sense of him...

Wen Ruo (Yang Sichang's character) lives in Fucheng, coordinating all parties, strategizing..."

Eloquent and eloquent words, all in all, King Qin was captured by us, but his subordinates are still not convinced and want to take revenge. We people are not afraid of life and death, explain the righteousness, and let him submit to the court without a single soldier. There are thousands of elites for no reason, and they don't need military pay.

At that time, reward him with a Shaanxi middle road general and he will be able to send him away.

This is all thanks to the three of us, Your Majesty, do you think we are great?

What is brazen?That's called brazenness.

After Sun Chuanting got this memorial, he almost died of anger.

These two guys have gained fame and fortune without doing anything.

Sun Chuanting lost troops and lost generals back and forth, which eventually became a foil.

Is there such a thing in the world?

Shameless especially!
But things have come to this, what else can Sun Chuanting do?
He could only watch helplessly as the memorial was delivered to the palace in an expedited form of [-] li.

A few days later, Chongzhen in the imperial study looked at this memorial and almost jumped up excitedly.

He kept praising in his mouth: "Da Companion and Yang Qing really lived up to my expectations, they are really heroes among the people, they should be rewarded.

As for this Sun Jie, he was originally a henchman of the King of Qin, but he should be encouraged when he thinks that he will return after going astray. "

As for Sun Chuanting, who worked hard and made great achievements, he was ignored by him.

Sun Chuanting is an upright and loyal courtier, such a courtier is not pleasing no matter where he is.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, he looked at an eunuch beside him.

This eunuch was none other than Wang Cheng'en who had accompanied Chongzhen to hang himself in Meishan in history.

"Send the memorial to the cabinet, draft the imperial decree according to the requirements of the above, and send it to the Ministry of War, ordering it to handle it as soon as possible!" Chongzhen's tone was relaxed and extremely happy.

"Respect!"

After saluting, he exited slowly.

Two days later, officials from the Ministry of War headed for Shaanxi with a few entourages.

Sun Jie's name and surname were recorded in the military registration of the Ministry of War.

Letter: "Sun Jie, a native of Fuping, Shaanxi, was born at Yinshi on the 41th day of the sixth month in the year of Kuichou in Wanli (the [-]st year of Wanli). He joined Shaanxi Middle Road and was awarded the rank of General Huaiyuan."

General Huaiyuan is the loose rank of military positions in the Ming Dynasty. Generally speaking, each general has a supporting loose rank in addition to his official position.

……

As the sun rose and rose again, Cao Huachun and Yang Sichang returned to the capital early.

Before that, they sent another memorial to the capital.

"Qin King Zhu Cunshu knew that he had committed a serious crime, so he hanged himself in apology for fear of His Majesty's punishment!"

The memorial is very simple, just one sentence.

Chongzhen's reply was also very simple:
"Except for the Qin Fan, the accomplices will be demoted to common people, within the three generations of relatives, they will be escorted to Fengyang to face the wall!"

With just a few words, the lineage of the King of Qin, which lasted for more than two hundred years, has since disappeared.

In the majestic palace in Xi'an Fucheng, only the mournful cries of wild crows remained.

Tens of thousands of palaces have been made of soil, but that's all.

That night, Qin Wang Zhu Cunshu's screams rang in the cell all night.

Too fat, Bai Ling couldn't support him.

Cao Huachun and Yang Sichang worked together to strangle him to death.

There were only the three of them in the cell. After they "visited the prison", King Qin hanged himself to death.

Is he pitiful?

He is neither pitiful nor pitiful.

The broken things done by Prince Qin's mansion are countless.

How many refugee children outside the city were sold?

How many of those half-grown girls had an easy life?
The fruit of today, the cause of the past.

King Qin's enjoyment was built on one dead bone after another.

It has been like this for more than 200 years, lying on the bed frame made of dry bones, singing and singing every night, under the bed is the miserable white bones.

The officials of the Ministry of War entered Tongguan, feeling happy and happy along the way.

In order to be able to come this time, he stuffed a lot of benefits.

It's a fat job to read out the imperial decree.

Every time I go there, I can use the power of the imperial decree to extort money and make a fortune.

The people in the yamen were watching closely, if it wasn't for the money, how could such a good thing be left to him?
After entering Xi'an Mansion, he went to the Governor's Yamen.

I don't know where Shaanxi Middle Road is, let alone where Sun Jie is.

So I wanted to ask Sun Chuanting to see what he said.

Sun Chuanting knew exactly what kind of temper Sun Jie had.

It's just a joke to dare to confront the official army and expect him to respect and lead the order.

In order to prevent complications, he received the imperial decree for Sun Jie.

However, the price is naturally not low.

How did Sun Chuanting get the money?Someone informed Sun Jie's father-in-law, and Sun Chuwen was naturally happy to hear about it, and paid more than 200 taels of silver and a hundred catties of icing sugar.

The official went back with a smile, and said before leaving that he would speak a few words of kindness for Sun Jie to His Majesty.

What a beautiful word, whether you can see Chongzhen or not is even a matter of opinion.

Sun Chuanting sat in the study, looking at the imperial decree on the table, frowning.

In this matter, it is hard to say whether to win or lose.

Chongzhen got the money, Sun Jie got the government and land, and he, Sun Chuanting, also got some money.

Logically speaking, it's just exchanging dignity for money. In modern times, few people would care about this.

But from this matter, Sun Chuanting felt very uncomfortable.

In addition to the imperial decree, it is the great seal of the general in Shaanxi Middle Road.

Only these two, nothing else.

Logically speaking, at any rate, it is an official position of the third rank, so it is not so shabby, there should be a government and honor guards.

But who is Chongzhen?How could he be generously rewarded?
Even the big seal was engraved overnight by the Ministry of Industry, and a piece of broken wood was randomly picked from the waste pile, and the box was even more unbearable and messy.

These two things on the table seemed to be mocking Sun Chuanting, revealing his incompetence everywhere.

"This is the end of the government, this is the end of the government, alas!"

There were sighs in the study.

In the deep night, Sun Chuanting, who hadn't drank for a long time, smelled of alcohol, held a long sword, and wiped it again and again by the candlelight on the desk.

"Oh, hehe, hahaha!!!"

There were bursts of wry laughter, and when I closed my eyes, I remembered the past.

"Looking at the sword while drunk, dreaming back to the battalion of blowing horns. Eight hundred miles of fire under the command, fifty strings turning outside the fortress. The battlefield autumn soldiers.

The horse-made Lu was so fast, his bow was like a thunderbolt.But the king's affairs in the world, won the name before and after his life.Poor White Happened! "

After a while, sing out slowly.

Alcohol strikes, and the whole body is dry and hot.

He unbuttoned his clothes and opened his arms wide.

He jumped up and ran out of the room.

Under the moonlight, the long sword in his hand danced and flew!
"National affairs, why is this so, why is this so!"

The speed in his hand is getting faster and faster, the glare of the sword, the cold light is awe-inspiring.

The long sword reflected his face, and his temples were already grey.

"what!!!"

Let go of the long sword in your hand and plunge it into the ground!
Sitting quietly on the ground, nothing to say all night!
……

The day is still the same day, it has never changed.

Sun Chuanting felt uncomfortable and couldn't sit still, so he wandered around the city.

At some point, he stopped in front of Sun Chuwen's house, looked at the closed door, and was silent for a long time.

Looking at the entourage behind him, he said: "Go and give him the imperial decree and the great seal, let's call it a day!"

Lost face, big-character posters have already been plastered all over Fucheng.

Everyone in the city knows that Sun Chuanting was defeated by Sun Jie and Qin Shang.

It was the first time in so many years that a lowly person forced a provincial parent official to bow his head.

Rumors spread in the city, and all face was lost!
Soon after, Sun Chuwen received the imperial decree and seal from Sun Chuanting.

In the courtyard, Sun Chuwen sat in front of a table with the imperial decree and seal on it, and his three sons surrounded him.

"Snapped!"

He patted the table, his face gradually arrogant.

"Everyone says Sun Yan Wang is not to be provoked, but in my opinion, that's the way it is!
Your brother-in-law is not an ordinary person, he is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, so that he cannot bow his head.

I said, in the future, you have to remember the scene of that day well, and let me tell you, this happened like this..."

Sun Chuwen spit and spit, and the complacency on his face almost turned into substance.
