Wang Er's rebellion, coupled with what he saw and heard along the way, deeply touched Sun Chuanting.
In addition, in the palace, His Majesty said that Shaanxi must not be chaotic, which made Sun Chuanting rush to the neck and put a lot of pressure on him.
In order to prevent the victims from rebelling, Sun Chuanting directly took the 50,000 stones of grain and grass and 500,000 taels of silver that Emperor Chongzhen prepared for his military training to quake the disaster.
Sun Chuanting, who had no money to train his troops, held high the banner of ancestral rule and declared that "not one acre of land should be lost, and not one grain of food should be lost." With the help of the suppression of rebellion, the military power was in hand, and the land files of Shaanxi were seized immediately, and then according to the The dossier recovered the military camp land.
By the way, through the imperial edict, those who invaded military fields were extorted.
Taizu's method of raising troops without spending money and food from the court was realized in the hands of Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting solved the problem of money and food for military training, but it also touched everyone's interests.
Those who invaded the military fields were generals at all levels of the garrison and local powerful men. Sun Chuanting's move completely made these people hate him to death.
However, Sun Chuanting held military power, put down the rebellion, and used the military pay provided by His Majesty to provide disaster relief. He was extremely famous in Shaanxi, especially Weibei and other places. These guards officials and local powerful people could not do anything to each other locally.
But those health officials and local powerful people are powerful people. I have always bullied others and taken advantage of others. I have never allowed others to bully me.
Moreover, those occupied military fields have long been regarded as their own by these guard officials and local powerful men.
In their view, Sun Chuanting's move undoubtedly cut off his own financial path.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents
On the one hand, he used his connections to impeach Sun Chuanting in court; on the other hand, he tried every means to disgust Sun Chuanting.
But Zhu Youjian is not a fool. He has two major supervisory agencies, the Secret Guard and the Jinyi Guard. Zhu Youjian knows the situation in Shaanxi relatively well.
In Zhu Youjian's opinion, those local tyrants deserved death.
When Shaanxi was hit by a disaster, these powerful people just didn't do good. They took the opportunity to collude with those dog officials and buy farmers' farmland at low prices.
What's more, they actually dared to withhold food and salary for disaster relief.
Emperor Tianqi and himself successively allocated nearly 3 million taels of silver and 300,000 shi of food and grass to Shaanxi.
However, according to the secret guard's intelligence, not even 30,000 taels were actually implemented.
If the training in the Beijing camp had not yet been completed, and all the military power in other places had not fallen into Zhu Youjian's hands, Zhu Youjian could chop their heads 20 times based on this alone.
Regarding the memorials sent by Samson to the court, Zhu Youjian kept them all in silence and asked them to write them down in a small notebook.
In Xi'an, in a secret room of Zhang Mansion, six powerful family heads in Xi'an were gathering together for a secret discussion.
"It's been a month, and the court has no intention of transferring King Sun Yama. Can we just watch the other party kill all the officials we know?"
"The head of the Zhang family must obtain the emperor's consent to appoint or remove the governor. The new emperor is more of a thief than the old emperor. All memorials to impeach Sun Chuanting were ignored by the emperor..."
.....
"That's right, and King Sun Yan first suppressed the rebellion and later killed all the officials with solid evidence. Those above the court can only impeach from other places. If this continues, the emperor will not pay attention."
"Then let Shaanxi be in chaos." Zhang took the lead and said.
"You are crazy. If someone finds out, it will be a serious matter that will kill the Nine Clan."
"It's not like we took the lead in the rebellion. The imperial court's 500,000 stone relief grains are almost arriving at Tongguan. The first batch of 100,000 stone will leave Tongguan and enter Shaanxi in five days. By then..."
"Master Zhang, you are crazy. You dare to rob the imperial court's disaster relief food. Once this is exposed, your family will be confiscated and your ancestors will be destroyed."
Although the wealthy families in these places love money, they still have a sense of shame and are still wary of the imperial court.
The previous efforts to provide money and food for disaster relief were done privately.
Robbery of the imperial court's disaster relief funds was tantamount to rebellion. Although the Ming Dynasty was in decline, it was still relatively stable overall.
The wealthy families in these places do not yet have the courage to openly confront the imperial court.
"My Zhang family doesn't have the guts to rob disaster relief food, but if we delay the disaster relief food, we can still do it together."
"Look. If the disaster relief grain coming from Henan wants to enter Shaanxi, it must have come through the official road. However, the official road has been in disrepair for a long time. Isn't it normal for some problems to suddenly occur?"
At that time, there will be a delay of ten days and a half, and we are inciting the people who were affected by the disaster to seek an explanation from King Sun of Hell. By then, King Sun of Hell will be unable to produce food, which will trigger a civil uprising.
I don't believe that the emperor doesn't remove this Sun King of Hell.
"High, really high. This move kills without any blood."
.....
"Brother Wang, are you free?"
"Liu Xiaowu, why did you come to Xi'an on your own time? Could it be that the new county magistrate in Weibei has deducted your food again?"
After surrendering to Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting saw that Wang Er had a strong sense of justice and that Wang Er also had martial arts skills, so he made Wang Er his own soldier.
As Sun Chuanting's personal soldier, Wang Er was not idle either. He often led people quietly to check on the disaster relief situation.
But this time, as soon as I came out, I met fellow villager Liu Xiaowu.
"Second Brother Wang, with you coming down and watching from time to time, and Mr. Sun sitting on top, those dog officials wouldn't dare to deduct our food even if they had ten guts."
"Then what happened when you came?"
Because of the roads and traffic, most people in the Ming Dynasty stayed near their hometown all their lives. To travel from Weibei to Xi'an, a hundred miles away, for no reason was definitely not just for a leisurely stroll.
"Um, is there something wrong with the court's disaster relief food?"
"It's impossible. If something goes wrong, I will definitely know it as soon as possible."
"Then I'm relieved. Since there's nothing wrong, I'll take my leave first... The folks are still waiting for my reply."
"Wait a minute, come with me to see Mr. Sun." Wang Er, sensing something fishy about this matter, took Liu Xiaowu and ran out of the city.
"Didn't Second Brother Wang meet Mr. Sun? Why did he run out of the city?"
"Master Sun is at the military camp outside the city at the moment. When you get to the military camp later, watch your mouth and eyes..."
....
"You mean Zhang Fu, the housekeeper of the Zhang family, told you that I am not going to provide disaster relief?"
"Yes, sir, all the young and old in our Zhangjia Village can testify, and so can those from the next village."
"No, it's the court's disaster relief food. Wang Er listens to the order. You should immediately lead 300 soldiers out of the camp. Make sure the safety of the food road is ensured."
"As you command, my lord"
...
Time flies, three months have passed.
Thanks to Liu Xiaowu's report, those who were digging the road were stopped in one fell swoop by Wang Er's army who arrived in a hurry.
The plan of the six powerful people to successfully store the first batch of 100,000 stones of grain and grass was aborted.
At this moment, Sun Chuanting's 50,000-strong army is just short of seeing blood before it can be called an elite.
Then Sun Chuanting, who held military power, began a crazy act of revenge.
With the help of the information provided by the secret guard, he used the butcher's knife to attack the senior guards and local powerful people who had stumbled during his military training.
In just a few days, 27 powerful houses were raided and more than 300 senior guardsmen were beheaded.
Suddenly, the powerful people in Shaanxi and the senior officials of the Guard were all in danger.
Sun Yanwang's name spread throughout Shaanxi.
