Chapter 561

Cao Huachun's remark won the unanimous approval of the army. Even Hong Chengchou and Lu xiangxiangsheng thought that they should deal with these shameless profiteers in this way and act mercilessly.

The Ming Court has always been an official agriculture, industry and commerce, and businessmen ranked last, which is the lowest position. This time, the Ming court is at a critical juncture of life and death, and they all apportioned it to the officials and the people? Why can't businessmen be taxed?

After saying this, Cao Huachun felt that there was much to be done. If he collected the food and cotton clothes of these profiteers, he could meet the military supplies and save a lot of money for the imperial court.

However, Cao Huachun is not stupid at all. He also realizes that these big grain and cloth merchants dare to do this. It must be because they have backstage, and only because they have backstage and backers, they dare to make such national wealth.

But Cao Huachun is also a loyal and patriotic eunuch. He also knows that if the Ming Dynasty is over, they will not even be eunuchs and have no place to squat. Therefore, even if they offend people, they don't have to be afraid and offend to death.

Cao Huachun said to Hong Chengchou, "wait, Duke Hong and Duke Lu. We'll go back and ask for an order. As long as the emperor orders, we'll take the royal guards to the city and grab a batch of grain and cotton clothes for you to ensure the army's military supplies."

When Cao Huachun said this, he was moved by Hong Chengchou. It was a bit like the work of the military envoy, rather than like other military envoys. He could do nothing but give orders blindly.

Hearing what he said, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng aroused hope. They immediately told the soldiers to wait. They would soon get cotton padded clothes and food, and then they could start.

Wu Xiuwen, as the representative of Liu Jiajun, put forward Liu Jiajun's conditions to the imperial court. Indeed, Hao undoubtedly angered the officials of the imperial court. They immediately put Wu Xiuwen in prison and put him in heaven prison to be judged.

This is called imprisonment for a crime. In fact, it's not enough for the time being, because they still have to see how Liu Jiajun performs. If they kill Liu Jiajun, they don't hesitate to behead Wu Xiuwen. He is an accomplice. But if Liu Jiajun wins, it's hard to say. They have to rely on this mouth to send a message or breathe, So I put him in prison first.

Wu Xiuwen was not surprised by this result. He was not afraid when he went to the prison, so he let the other party escort him to the prison, neither afraid nor begging for mercy.

Wu Xiuwen was detained in the prison. Just next to him was the famous trilateral governor sun chuanting.

Sun chuanting is a legend. A newcomer to the military, he defeated Gao Yingxiang's army and captured Gao Yingxiang alive by relying on his own trained army. World War I caused a sensation all over the world.

It can be said that many generals could not do, which made the emperor look at him differently. In a short time, he was promoted from governor of Shaanxi to governor of the three sides, responsible for the military affairs of the three sides. This is not only the great trust of the imperial court, but also the great trust of the emperor.

Sun chuanting was very grateful for his trust in the emperor, so he stepped up to destroy his soldiers and strive to completely exterminate and kill the wandering bandits before September, so as to solve them once and for all.

Who knows that the event of building slaves into Cyprus happened at this time. Sun chuanting saw the intention of the other party very clearly, but he also understood the difficulties of the imperial court. Now there are wars everywhere. To put it bluntly, they are tearing down east walls to make up west walls, pressing the gourd to raise the melon. Now what they have to do is do their best and do their best, Kill the enemy in one fell swoop, and then kill another.

It is not easy for them to besiege the wandering bandits in the area of Zhongnan mountain. When they are ready to destroy them, they have to pull out the army to deal with JianNu, which will make all their efforts in vain.

Sun chuanting knows how the rogue bandits are formed, and he also knows that if they withdraw and let the other party escape, the other party will make a comeback in a few months, and so many previous efforts will be in vain.

Moreover, he dares to say that they can force these people to this step today, which does not mean that they can do it in the future. If they miss today's opportunity, it is really difficult to have it in the future. Therefore, he has a serious disagreement with the emperor and openly disobeys the imperial edict. He should also insist on carrying out his strategy to the end and destroy the troops of Li Zicheng and others first.

As a result, his actions angered the emperor. The emperor immediately removed him from his post and asked people to take him to the capital and put him in prison.

Therefore, sun chuanting has been like a roller coaster in recent months. At the beginning of this year, he jumped from the Prime Minister of Shuntian prefecture to the governor of Shaanxi Province. After working as the governor for a few months, he became one of the most powerful people in the northwest. But in the twinkling of an eye, he was jailed for disobeying the imperial edict, which is legendary.

When Wu Xiuwen saw sun chuanting, he showed great respect. He was able to lead the troops with a scholar, trained some ordinary soldiers into elite teachers, and defeated 50000 elite of Gao Yingxiang. He was also a capable man. Therefore, when he saw sun chuanting, Wu Xiuwen paid homage with a big gift and said some flattering words.

Sun chuanting was a little dismissive of him. He said, "Er Yijie, the running dog of Liu thief, what qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

Wu Xiuwen was not angry when he saw that the other party was so arrogant. He said, "let Lord Sun know that you have been demoted to the common people. You are no longer an adult, so you can't call yourself an official. Instead, I am a junior official. I haven't been removed as a commander of Dengzhou. I'm still a four grade military officer of the imperial court."

Sun chuanting sneered. He said, "return the four grade military attach é of the imperial court. You don't know that the imperial court is assembling a large army to go south at any time, destroy you at one stroke, escort you to Beijing, and behead the food market."

Wu Xiuwen said: "although the lower officials are trapped in prison, they still have certain sources. It is said that Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng's army are still near the capital and have not been dispatched. It is said that there is not enough food."

Although Wu Xiuwen was trapped in prison, someone kept passing on the news to him. He could also pass on the news. Although he was in prison, it was not very different from the outside. He had no secret of being like this, that is, money can enlighten the mind, and money can make ghosts grind.

Sun chuanting was a little surprised when the other party said this. He knew that JianNu had been retreated during his imprisonment. According to the truth, once JianNu retreated, they had to send troops to chase down the enemy and Liu thieves. However, they neither pursued JianNu nor killed the wandering bandits. Instead, they organized a large army to prepare to go south to deal with Liu thieves, which didn't matter, But they didn't have enough food, and there was a uproar about the lack of military pay. Even if sun chuanting was in the prison, he heard some rumors. He was surprised to see that the imperial court was so difficult. He scolded: "Wen Ti Ren should be killed..."

Those who use the army value speed, while the old division is useless.

But sun chuanting is an honest man, and he won't be like Wu Xiuwen. When he is in prison, he can buy these prison guards to deliver news for him. Wu Xiuwen told him a lot of things. Sun chuanting is lamenting that the court is now dominated by treacherous officials. They are corrupt and take bribes, which has led to the collapse of the court.

Wu Xiuwen saw that the other party was so indignant. He was a little funny. He said, "it's not all Wen Ti Ren's doing that Daming can have today. You know, Wen Ti Ren has only been able for a few years after all."

Sun chuanting said to him, "what do you know, a lackey of Liu Yuanqiao?"

Wu Xiuwen said: "although the lower official is only a small official under Lord Liu, many things are still clear. The imperial court can have today because of the collapse of the imperial system, the corruption of officials and the problem of Wen Ti Ren. All of him are not right. After all, Wen Ti Ren has only been talented for a few years, and Daming's lack of money is not in recent years, but has been lacking all the time."

Daming is so embarrassed today because he is short of money.

Sun chuanting did not expect that he would fall into today's situation. You know, he has been promoted several levels within a year. It is also a show of honor for his family and ancestors, which makes him energetic. But what is more unexpected is that he has become a prisoner at the bottom of the rank from the governor of the three sides. Combined with the sunset of the Ming Dynasty, he is full of emotion. He said angrily: "Liu Yuanqiao is a rogue minister and thief. He has received the grace of the emperor all over the world. He actually made trouble in the most difficult time of the imperial court and tried to separate Shandong. It's really a wolf's ambition. He deserves to die!"

Sun Cunting was scolding Wu Xiuwen. Wu Xiuwen was not angry at all, but he was scolding his master, which made him unhappy. Wu Xiuwen said, "why did my adult do this? It was not forced by the imperial court, and my adult dared to follow the example of Yunnan Mu family and Yongzhen Shandong. It was not supported by the people of Shandong. This is what everyone expected and had to follow."

When sun chuanting heard the other party's sophistry, he sneered. He said, "it's a joke that a rebellious minister and thief dares to say what people want. When the Imperial Army goes south, it's when he dies. Maybe we will have a chance to live together as neighbors."

Wu Xiuwen said, "it is a question whether the imperial army can start or not. Even if he can start, there is no way to take Liu's army. This is because we have the support of the people. He has no way to take us at all."

Sun chuanting was so confident when he heard what the other party said. He sneered and said, "joke! What's the difference between you rebels and Anlushan and Shi Siming? Your fate is the same. On the day of defeat and death, you were escorted to Beijing and cut thousands of knives. You dare to say that you have the support of the people."

Wu Xiuwen said, "if you have been to the East three houses, you will find that the East three houses are completely different from the past. They are better than the original peaceful and prosperous times. The people have food, clothes, houses, live and work in peace and contentment, and enjoy peace. The Imperial court is adding assessments and taxes to them. Who do you think the people will favor?"
