For several days, Sun Chuanting followed Hong Chengchou, either handling official business in the yamen or going to other villages to learn about the situation of the peasant association.
As he learned more and more about the local policies of the Tiger-Character Banner, the previous layer of window paper of Momo Huhu was pierced bit by bit, and the more he worried about Daming in his heart.
After the implementation of a series of civil affairs by the peasant association, local people will stand with the Tiger Flag in order to protect their own interests, even if they do not have the intention to support the Tiger Flag.
As for the taxes that the Ming Dynasty could not collect, the Tiger Character Banner cut off the hand that profited from them, and the taxes fell directly to the people.
It not only ensures tax revenue, but also reduces the tax pressure on the people, so they no longer need to bear a heavy burden.
From the civil affairs of the Tiger Character Banner, Sun Chuanting saw the word "people's hearts".
If the Ming Dynasty could also use the civil affairs methods implemented by the tiger character flag on the ground, he believed that with the Ming Dynasty's status in the hearts of the people, it would soon be able to regain the people's hearts and minds, and it would also greatly alleviate the court's tax problem.
However, he knew that it was impossible for Ming Dynasty to use the tiger-character flag's civil affairs method on himself.
He also understood why Hong Chengchou casually let him see and understand.
Because even if he understands it, he can't use it on Ming Dynasty, unless he also wants to rebel like the Tiger Flag and occupy a territory with similar civil affairs methods.
After seeing more and understanding more, Sun Chuanting simply didn't go anywhere and stayed in the Yamen of Huai County.
Because it is useless to look at it any further. There is no place for Ming to let him use these things.
The Tiger Character Banner's method of winning people's hearts is more drastic than Zhang Juzheng's reform. Except for the rebellious forces like the Tiger Character Banner, I am afraid no one can do it.
Since Sun Chuanting left the village outside the city, Hong Chengchou never spoke again to persuade Sun Chuanting to join the Tiger Flag.
If Sun Chuanting still insists on being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, then he can only send Sun Chuanting to the northwest to receive labor re-education.
In Jinan City, Fu Zonglong received the imperial court's order to urge the war.
After taking Lizhou, the Tiger-Character Banner army quickly launched an attack on Dengzhou. Now Dengzhou is in danger under the Tiger-Character Banner's offensive, and messengers asking for help are constantly being sent to Jinan.
After the imperial court learned about the news about Dengzhou, it immediately ordered Fu Zonglong to march eastward with troops to rescue Dengzhou.
Fu Zonglong brought over Wang Chengyin and Cao Wenzhao.
At present, the only troops and horses he can command are those under Cao Wenzhao, and Wang Chengyin can only count half of them.
Since returning from Laizhou, Fu Zonglong could no longer trust Wang Chengyin.
Not only was Wang Chengyin disrespecting orders and retreating privately on the battlefield, but more importantly, Wang Chengyin once abandoned him as the governor on the battlefield and fled for his life.
He, the supervisor, no longer dared to trust such a person.
"The imperial court ordered me to go to support Dengzhou. Which of you two is willing to go?" Fu Zonglong looked at Wang Chengyin and Cao Wenzhao on his left and right, and finally his eyes fell on Wang Chengyin.
Wang Chengyin didn't see anything but just lowered his head.
"What? You don't want to go to Dengzhou? Do you have to let me appoint you directly?" Fu Zonglong's voice deepened.
Wang Chengyin remained silent.
Cao Wenzhao knew that he would have to rely on the governor in front of him in the future, and he could not let the governor fail to step down, so he said: "The general is willing to share the worries of the governor."
"Have your soldiers been trained well?" Fu Zonglong asked.
Cao Wenzhao replied: "The training time for the soldiers under the general's command is too short. Although they are still not good enough, the commander needs them, and the general is willing to lead them to support Dengzhou."
"Since you are not well trained, you will only lose your life if you send him to Dengzhou. It is better to stay and train before going to the battlefield." Fu Zonglong rejected Cao Wenzhao's invitation to fight and turned to Wang Chengyin and said, "General Wang, the soldiers under your command They are all old soldiers, and their ability to kill the enemy is far inferior to those of General Cao's soldiers. In my opinion, I will lead the troops to Dengzhou."
"The last general is willing to go to support Dengzhou, but at the moment there are frequent riots and bandits in Jinan Prefecture. The last general feels that
It would be better for General Mo to stay to protect the safety of the supervisor. "Wang Chengyin was unwilling to go to Dengzhou from the bottom of his heart.
He almost didn't come back from the battle in Laizhou. If he went further to Dengzhou this time, he was afraid that he would not be so lucky to escape again.
"General Wang can go to Dengzhou with peace of mind. I have General Cao here and everything will be fine. On the contrary, Dengzhou needs General Wang more." Fu Zonglong said harmoniously.
Cao Wenzhao on the side looked at Wang Chengyin.
His request to fight was rejected, but Wang Chengyin was mentioned several times by Fu Zonglong to support Dengzhou.
He was not a fool, so he could naturally see that Fu Zonglong wanted Wang Chengyin to lead troops to Dengzhou.
He thought it would be good for Wang Chengyin to go to Dengzhou.
As soon as Wang Chengyin left, the entire defense of Jinan Fucheng fell into his hands. Unlike now, there are two gates in Jinan Fucheng controlled by Wang Chengyin.
"The general feels that it is more appropriate for General Cao to go to Dengzhou. After all, the general does not have as many soldiers and horses as General Cao. As for the lack of training of the soldiers, we can take advantage of this march to Dengzhou and train while traveling. When we arrive in Dengzhou, The soldiers are almost trained." Wang Chengyin said.
The patterned Fu Zonglong narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that the orders of my supervisor are no longer effective with General Wang."
"The general didn't mean that." Wang Chengyin quickly admitted his mistake.
Fu Zonglong suddenly said in a cold voice: "You don't think I dare not ask Shang Fang's sword to kill you, do you?"
"The general will not dare." Wang Chengyin knelt down.
Fu Zonglong said: "Since you don't dare, then it's up to you to support Dengzhou and solve Dengzhou's current predicament."
"The last general takes orders." Wang Chengyin reluctantly agreed.
He is not afraid of Fu Zonglong, but he is afraid of Shang Fang's sword.
It would be okay if he was in his own camp, but now that he is here with Fu Zonglong, if he offends Fu Zonglong, he is afraid that Fu Zonglong will actually chop himself with Shang Fang's sword on impulse.
[In view of the general environment,
"Go back and prepare. You will lead the troops and set off tomorrow." Fu Zonglong gave Wang Chengyin an order directly without giving Wang Chengyin a chance to bargain.
Wang Chengyin had no choice but to respond: "Yes, General Mo will go back and arrange the departure of the army."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
As soon as they left, Cao Wenzhao said to Fu Zonglong: "Superintendent, looking at General Wang's appearance, I'm afraid he is unwilling. The general is worried that he will not obey the Superintendent's instructions honestly."
"He doesn't dare." Fu Zonglong snorted coldly and said, "In a moment, you will take over Wang Chengyin's defense at the two southeast gates. As long as they leave Jinan City, if he doesn't want to disobey, he will have to go to Dengzhou."
"Yes, the last general will personally take over the defense of the city left by General Wang." Cao Wenzhao bowed and said.
Fu Zonglong nodded with satisfaction and said, "I will support you in everything, so feel free to do it boldly."
He also hated Wang Chengyin extremely.
Now that Cao Wenzhao had an expanded number of troops and horses, the number was no less than that of Wang Chengyin's troops, and he could finally vent his anger on Wang Chengyin.
