Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 85 The Movement of Sun Chuanting and Others
"Hiss... just lightly..."

In Xuqin Palace, when Zhu Youjian, who had been riding a horse all afternoon, returned to the palace, he found that his thigh was worn out.

Apparently, even with cotton padding, thighs that should be worn out still have to be worn out.

No, Wang Chengen was applying medicine to Zhu Youjian's worn out skin, but the process was a bit painful.

After he finally finished applying the medicine, Lu Wenzhao also went to Nanzhen Fusi and came back.

"How? Did the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials nod?"

Seeing Lu Wenzhao came back, Zhu Youjian sat on the couch and asked, and he also wrote:

"Both the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials nodded. It is estimated that tomorrow, North Zhili will be filled with recruitment notices. Shandong, Henan, Shanxi and other places will also post notices in three days. It is estimated that it will be seven days in the south, and it will be ten days in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan."

The two capitals of Ming Dynasty and the thirteen provinces, with an expedited time of [-] miles, ten days are enough to finish the run.

The next step is to wait for the long recruiting time, but it shouldn't be too difficult after all.

After all, the salary of fifteen to two years is considered a high salary at this time.

If Zhu Youjian remembers correctly, the Xiaobinghe drought broke out after the first year of Chongzhen, and prices skyrocketed, making silver worthless.

That is to say, even if he can change the situation in Ming Dynasty, the Great Drought in Little Ice River will still break out seven years later, and the military pay will also increase in disguise.

But at that time, he was ready to deal with the drought on the Little Ice River.

Thinking so, he continued to look at Lu Wenzhao and said:

"How are the four of them, Sun Chuanting?"

"Return to Your Highness..." Lu Wenzhao responded:
"Ten days ago, the four of them had already set off. The closest one was Sun Chuanting, but he didn't rush to Bijiewei immediately. Instead, he waited for six days. On the seventh day, the Sun family sent more than [-] soldiers from the family. Set off."

"Right now, Sun Chuanting has brought people into Nanyang Mansion."

"Wait!" Zhu Youjian said suddenly, stopping what Lu Wenzhao wanted to continue talking about.

He looked at Lu Wenzhao and thought of something in his heart, so he asked:
"I heard that the old Tang king imprisoned his eldest son and grandson. Is this true?"

"Eh... this, I don't know about this." After all, Lu Wenzhao took over the Fusi of Nanzhen, so he didn't know much about the information of the vassal princes in various places.

"Tell Sun Chuanting to go to the Tang Palace to visit Tang Wang and Tang Wang's sons after arriving in Nanyang. If the imprisonment is true, report back!"

"A lowly post takes orders." Seeing Zhu Youjian say this, Lu Wenzhao's heart tightened.

In his opinion, if His Royal Highness would say that, then there must be such rumors.

But if the rumor is true, what will His Royal Highness do?

Lu Wenzhao didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so he just continued to report:

"The second nearest to the place of transfer is Wu Aheng. After he received the transfer order, he took his relatives to go south the next day. He has already arrived in Kaifeng, Henan, and it will take about a month to reach Hejiang, Luzhou."

"Yang Wenyue and Hong Chengchou set off at the same time, but instead of taking the land route, they chose to go to Tianjin Wei and take a sea boat south to Songjiang Prefecture, and then arrived in Nanjing early yesterday morning."

"No accident, the two should go upstream by boat. Hong Chengchou will arrive in Chongqing in about [-] days, and Yang Wenyue will arrive in Syria in [-] days."

"Hmm..." Hearing the news, Zhu Youjian nodded, feeling relieved.

The reason why it was half a mouthful was mainly because he was not sure if there would be a mistake in timing.

In history, the cause of She Chongming's rebellion was that the Ming Dynasty failed in the Liaoshen War, was taken away by Nurhachi in Liaodong, and after retreating to the west of Liaoning, it was prepared to transfer She Chongming's [-] troops to aid Liao.

She Chongming saw that Shizhu Qin Liangyu's [-] white-armed soldiers were transferred to Liaodong, and nearly [-] soldiers were transferred from central Sichuan. Sichuan was empty, so he boldly sent troops to attack Chongqing.

In history, She Chongming rebelled in Chongqing in September of the first year of Tianqi, and An Bangyan raised troops in February of the second year of Tianqi. This battle was called the She'an Rebellion.

The war lasted for 17 years from the first year of Tianqi to the tenth year of Chongzhen. It affected the four provinces of Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Guangxi. Daming's defense ability against Houjin.

Objectively, it also played a role in slowing down the pressure of the Ming court on Li Zicheng and other peasant rebels, putting the Ming court in a situation of fighting on the third front and facing the enemy, which to a large extent shook the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty and accelerated the fall of the feudal rule of the Ming Dynasty.

More than one million yuan was spent in salaries, more than one million people were killed and injured, and the large-scale fighting lasted for 9 years.

If Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Yang Wenyue, and Wu Aheng arranged by Zhu Youjian can suppress She Chongming from the beginning, then they can focus on Liaodong.

As for Shaanxi, if there is a severe drought, they can immediately transfer grain from Henan and Sichuan for support.

As long as they can survive, no common people will be willing to rebel.

But in terms of time, She Chongming must have already had the idea of ​​rebellion in his heart.

What is uncertain now is when this guy will rebel if Liaodong is stable.

In Zhu Youjian's mind, if this guy can be honest until September next year, then in nearly ten months, Sun Chuanting and the others should be able to train four teams that can resist She Chongming.

With their own letters, they will also pay more attention to the direction of She Chongming. Once there is any change, they can coordinate with all directions to encircle and wipe out She Chongming.

As long as She Chongming was defeated, An Bangyan of Shuixi chieftain would never dare to raise his own troops.

The Shapu Rebellion similar to Yunnan may not necessarily happen, so this battle must be won.

Of course, it would be even better if She Chongming did not raise troops after Sun Chuanting and the others were transferred to Bijie and other places.

After they have trained their soldiers and horses, Zhu Youjian can use them to reform Yunqian, Sichuan, Guangxi and other places.

As long as the land reform can be successful, these three places can release their potential and pay taxes for the imperial court.

At present, due to the autonomy of the chieftains, the land tax contributed by the three provinces is no more than 2.5 shi, which is about [-]% of the total land tax of the Ming Dynasty.

There are even fewer taxes and miscellaneous items. If Zhu Youjian remembers well, there should be less than [-] taels of miscellaneous items and additional allocations in the three provinces.

These three provinces had a population of [-] million during the Hongwu period, and now it has been more than [-] years. Even after the war, the number of people doubled and there should be [-] million people.

It's not that there are so many people who haven't paid the land taxes and taxes honestly, but that their value has been squeezed out by chieftains and local officials.

As long as the land can be changed and the population and acres of land in Yun, Guizhou and Guangxi can be counted again according to the "Fish Scale Atlas", then it will not be a problem to increase the tax by three or four times.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian was a little scratching his head.

"Fight, fight! How can you give them four promotions if you don't fight?"

Zhu Youjian put on a smile on his face, and even thought about where he would arrange for Sun Chuanting and the other four after She Chongming's rebellion was put down.
