Chapter 91 All parties before
  At the same time, the Xi'an Governor's Mansion.

Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, had just led the Qin army to defeat the rogue bandits in Jingyang and Sanyuan. However, as the Chinese New Year was about to come, the army officers and officers were homesick for their homes, so they could only lead the army back to Xi'an. If they didn't come back, everyone would have no intention of fighting.

After returning to the governor's office, Sun Chuanting was sitting at his desk in the public room waving a memorial to the court.

At this time, Yang Sichang, the Minister of War, was planning to completely defeat Li Zicheng and other peasant armies, and was preparing to continuously mobilize the Qin army for war.

Sun Chuanting believed that the troops were exhausted and the people's strength was depleted, so it was not appropriate to mobilize troops again and that they should rest and recuperate for a period of time, so he was writing an explanation.

"Da da" several gentle knocks on the door sounded. After getting permission, Bo Jing Xiaoyan, the head of the governor's palace, walked in with a letter.

Sun Chuanting raised his head and glanced up, then continued writing: "Xiaoyan is here, please wait a moment while I finish writing this memorial."

After a while, when he saw that Sun Chuanting had finished writing the memorial, Jing Xiaoyan said, "Master Futai wrote another letter to Yang Butang of the Ministry of War."

"Yes, this Wen Ruo (Yang Sichang's word) is too impatient. Our Qin army has been fighting continuously and has not enough money and food. We can no longer fight, but they still urge us to send troops three times a day. We don't even want to let it go during the Chinese New Year. "

"Perhaps it's not just Yang Butang who is anxious, the emperor may be even more anxious. After all, the court has no money. This increase in taxes has caused public resentment. It is difficult for various places to collect the full amount in time. The court may also be afraid of long delays. Change." Jing Xiaoyan said.

"Yes, if we don't raise taxes, we won't have the money to suppress the bandits. If we raise taxes, the officials will force the people to rebel. It's a real dilemma." Sun Chuanting patted his forehead and said.

"Master Futai, do you remember Lin Feng from Fugu County, Jiazhou?" Jing Xiaoyan introduced the topic.

"Is that the county magistrate who can make decisions for the people and quickly collect all taxes? No, he has been promoted to the county magistrate. What, what happened to him again." Not long ago, Governor Sun naturally returned Impressive.

Jing Xiaoyan presented the battle report written by Lin Feng, and Governor Sun took it and read it quickly and said: "Oh, he, a county magistrate, relied on the strength of the people to defeat the Mongolian Tatars in the Grass Valley, and killed more than 30 enemy cavalry. This is not a peasant army, and 30 enemies were killed, which is a lot. Is it real?"

"It's absolutely true. Along with this battle report, Fugu County sent all the heads of the Mongolian Tatars. Of course, half of them were sent here, and the other half was sent to Jiazhou. I checked that they are all real Tatars." Jing Xiaoyan replied.

"All the heads have been sent. This Lin Feng is really talented in literature and martial arts. He is an official." In the presence of the dignified governor, the little seventh-grade county magistrate can only be praised as an official.

"Sir, Lin Feng also sent you 2000 taels of silver with the battle report. He said that it was because of your hard work in killing the peasant army, so he will keep it for your expenses." Jing Xiaoyan continued.

"This Lin Feng is really a wonderful man. He has made great achievements in war and even sends money to him. Didn't he get the money by exploiting the people?"

"No, he was doing a lot of economic construction in Fugu and came up with some new products. I heard that he made some money, so he sent them to you, sir."

"Oh, what product is it?"

"He sent two of a new type of wool coat. Sir, please wait while I go get them." Jing Xiaoyan went out and took a wool coat and came in and handed it to Sun Chuanting.

Governor Sun took it, touched it first, smelled it, and then put it on: "It's good, soft and warm, and has no peculiar smell. Such things can be sold at a good price. Since the money comes from the right way. , then I will accept it, the government is also short of money. What does this kid want to ask for? "

"Sir, Lin Feng's letter said that Liu Jingsheng, a member of the Thousand Household in Yulinwei, had a grudge against him. It was the case in which he was the judge for the people, and Liu Shangjin, who was sentenced to be beheaded, was his nephew.

This time the Mongolian Tatars were deliberately let in, but since there was no direct evidence, Lin Feng wanted Master Futai to allow him to train some of the people's strength in order to protect himself. "Jing Xiaoyan replied.

"These guardsmen are getting more and more outrageous. Now is the time to use troops, so we can't push them too hard. Without direct evidence, these gangsters will definitely not admit it.

However, when it comes to allowing the Mongolian Tatars to break through the border and join the invaders, they have failed in their duty and cannot escape. Xiaoyan will write a document later and go to Yulin Guard to reprimand him. "Governor Sun was also very dissatisfied with the guardsmen, but he wanted to lead his troops to fight, so he could only rely on them to defend the territory.

"What about organizing and training the people?" Jing Xiaoyan continued to ask. Lin Feng saved his life and was very wise, so he naturally wanted to help with all his heart.

"It is reasonable and reasonable for Bianguan County to organize and train a small number of people's Zhuang for self-defense. Let's allow Fugu County to train a number of people's Zhuang within 500 people and bear their own expenses. Give Lin Feng a part-time position as a people's Zhuang organizer. This is nothing. For a formal official position, it can be done in the name of the governor's office." Governor Sun accepted Lin Feng's benefits and went along with the flow to approve the matter.

It is also common for states and counties to mainly organize and train people. However, Fugu County has a slightly larger number of people, but since the governor's office does not have to spend money, Governor Sun is naturally happy to be a favor.    Grasslands outside Guanwai, Left Banner of Ordos.

"Bang!" Alata, the commander of Zuoqi, smashed a wine glass away.

"You went to attack a small county town with more than 300 tribal elite cavalry, and Yulin Guard Liu Qianhu promised to cooperate with the inside. However, you failed, and only 50 of your cavalry came back. Where is my daughter Wu Yunna?"

"Er Zhan, Nafugu County has been prepared for a long time. We were ambushed. The princess and Hungbatulu were in front, and they were captured by the Ming people." Tashi Haihui, the head of a hundred cavalry households who escaped back, reported.

Arata kicked Tashhai away: "What, you guys have lost all the most beautiful larks in the tribe, they are all trash, so why do you have the face to come back!" At the same time, he found a whip and slapped it on his head and face. The ground started to beat.

Tashhai fell to the ground and did not dare to resist, but his eyes showed unwilling anger.

"Ezhi, calm down, calm down. The princess and the others were just captured. According to grassland custom, they can be redeemed with cattle and sheep. Let's think of a way first." Lergen, the elder of Zuo Banner, hurriedly came over to persuade. .

After beating and scolding for a while, Arata slumped down on his throne in despair, still muttering: "Our Zuoqi is finished, completely finished!"

The Ordos Left Banner was already poor and poor, but now it lost about 250 elite cavalry and did not get back any spoils. This winter has been difficult to endure.

Even if it survives, Mingchun will definitely be annexed by Youqi Xunji.

"Ezhan, you have to cheer up. Nearly three thousand people in Zuo Banner are still counting on you." Elder Lergen continued to persuade.

"Lergen, what do you think we should do?" Arata sat up and asked.

"The soldiers from Fugu County who captured our grassland will definitely come to negotiate. Let's see what they say then. Let's protect the surviving cattle and sheep now and don't continue to be frozen to death by the heavy snow. As long as people are alive, There is always hope.”

"Lergen, then go ahead and leave me alone for a while." Arata picked up the wine glass again and started drinking. What else could she do at this time but get drunk.

Baifu Lane, south of Fugu City.

Yang Heng carried large and small bags of New Year's goods and pushed open the door. The door had been replaced with a new wooden door, and there was no more creaking sound when he opened it.

Yang Laogen took the New Year's goods and said, "Son, why did you buy so many things?"

"Today our Minzhuang team gave out year-end bonuses. I received 3 taels of silver, so I bought some more New Year's goods." Yang Heng replied.

"Your Majesty Lin has been very kind to you. I have never heard of any year-end bonus before." Yang Laogen took over.

"Yes, life has been getting better and better since the county came to power." Yang Heng said.

"Son, you have to do a good job to repay Mr. Lin, and you can't slack off!" Mother Yang, who was cooking, interrupted.

"Mom, don't worry. Our Minzhuang team is a die-hard team of the county. Everyone is training hard and will not slack off." Yang Heng replied.

"That's good, get on the table quickly and get ready to eat. My son has to go back to the camp for duty tomorrow, so tonight will be the New Year's dinner." Yang's mother greeted.

The family happily ate the New Year's dinner. Scenes like this are happening everywhere in Fugu City.

 Having deceived the governor's office, he can now raise some troops.
