Chapter 125 Shaanxi
"The general of Shaanxi, appointed as the general of the general of the expedition, and commanded the headquarters of the Yongwei camp to suppress the chaos in Shaanxi!"
Looking at the seal in his hand, Li Xiu couldn't help but shake his head. In order to suppress himself, the officials in the court took great pains!
In today's era when civil officials are in power, he was a military general, a military general who was excluded and suppressed by the civil servant group, and entered Shaanxi. This so-called Shaanxi general will undoubtedly be just a nameless existence.
The purpose is just to enclose him in Shaanxi and not be allowed to return to Beijing.
The generals who conquered the enemy and led the brave guards to suppress the thieves, which showed the thoughts of the court.
In a system that is destined to be highly excluded, what will happen if you are dragged down everywhere and even have to fight against thieves?
"General, don't worry. Your Majesty said, please bear with me for a while. When the stakes come, Your Majesty will find a way to make you return to the capital with dignity."
Seeing Li Xiu's expression change, Wang Chengen quickly advised him.
"Your Majesty also specially transferred 50,000 taels of silver from the treasury to serve as food and food for the Yongwei Camp, and also asked us to prepare many rare medicinal materials for generals to practice martial arts!"
Li Xiu was also stunned by this statement, and there was a rare smile on his tense face.
"I would like to ask my father-in-law to report to Your Majesty for me. I will never let you down your Majesty's kindness. Please rest assured."
"That's good. You know, before our family left, Your Majesty had many instructions. It was the first time we have seen him with such a loving love for so many years."
After saying that, Wang Chengen took out an envelope from his cuff and handed it to Li Xiu: "General, this is a letter written by His Majesty himself."
"We won't bother the general!"
Wang Chengen retreated, Li Xiu took an envelope alone, stood in a handsome tent, and got up casually. There was no order on the letter paper, and some common words of care seemed to be quite guilty...
Even if you look at it ten lines at a time, your eyes will stay for a long time at this moment.
"call……"
Li Xiu let out a long breath and carefully put away the letter paper.
"Come!"
"The last one will be here!"
"Send someone to Zhending Prefecture City to invite Prefect Lu to the camp for a lecture!"
"Abide by the order!"
The soldiers retreated, Li Xiu turned around, his eyes fixed on the land of Shaanxi on the Ming Dynasty's Qiankun Map, and a serious look appeared between his eyebrows.
To this day, the historical records in memory can play a very small reference role.
For example, in memory, the natural disasters and man-made disasters in Shaanxi were only in the first year of Chongzhen.
But now, it is already different.
If the civil unrest in Northern Zhili was a spark, but the civil unrest in Shaanxi was already in chaos!
Shaanxi is located in the northwestern border, and it is a weak area in which the imperial court ruled. In Shaanxi, several famous vassal kings were enfeoffed here. Due to the Ming court's support for vassal kings, each vassal king undoubtedly consumed a lot of people's wealth in Shaanxi.
Shaanxi is a place where people have been poor for a long time, but the Ming Dynasty tax uniforms are treated equally across the country, and have not been reduced or exempted at all. In addition, various taxes and miscellaneous taxes and natural disasters have become a source of chaos since the Wanli period, and news of civil wars and killing officials have been rumored from time to time.
What Li Xiu felt most difficult was that while Shaanxi was in constant natural and man-made disasters, it was also a major military town of the Ming Dynasty, including Ningxia, Yulin, Yansui, and the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty. Several of the major towns bordered Shaanxi and even were within Shaanxi.
In this way, it seems that the chaos in Shaanxi can be calmed down!
But in fact, it is far from that!
After all, now, in the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, except for Liao Town, which can be supported by the imperial court, how much money can the other eight towns receive every year? How much food and grass?
Li Xiu knew that the total wages in Yansui Town alone had reached a huge amount of one million taels over the years!
Many border troops, even from the beginning of the army to death in battle, did not see a slight salary for the imperial court!
Therefore, it can be said that in history, the continuous chaos in Shaanxi has been repeated and repeated suppression. The real root of the disaster is not the victims who are too hungry to walk, but the countless hungry soldiers in the border town who have been in debt for many years and have no way to go!
The military backbone, mainly border troops, and accompanied by countless desperate hungry people, formed rebel groups that local counties and governments were unable to suppress!
This is the real appearance of the chaos in Shaanxi today, and it is also the reason why Li Xiu thought it was quite difficult.
You know, when he entered Shaanxi, he was not just suppressing thieves, but also had many open and hidden arrows!
Who knows how many people want him to die in Shaanxi!
"General, Prefect Lu is here."
A soldier reported it.
Li Xiu nodded, took out one step, jumped up, took off the Ming Dynasty Qiankun map and placed it aside, so that his personal guards could lead Lu Xiangsheng in.
"It's rare for the general to invite him to do it!"
As soon as he entered the tent of the handsome man, Lu Xiangsheng teased, then looked around with a familiar look, and then looked at Li Xiu.
"I would like to buy a batch of food and grass, but I don't know if you have any help from adults!"
Li Xiu was not polite, and he pointed to the topic directly.
"forage?"
Lu Xiangsheng frowned: "General, why do you want so much food and grass?"
After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes looked at Li Xiu as if he had become more alert.
"What are you thinking about? If I have a strange intention, how long do you think this Zhending City can stop me?"
As soon as these words were said, Lu Xiangsheng also smiled embarrassedly. It was true that Zhending Mansion had hoarded a lot of food and grass, but Li Xiu knew about this.
"Is the general because of the capital?"
"The matter in Beijing is over."
Li Xiu waved his hand, obviously not caring.
"it's over?"
Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised. This storm was so big, so how could it be so easy to get through?
"Shaanxi General, General of the Captive Army!"
Following Li Xiu's point of view, the seal on the table also caught Lu Xiangsheng's eyes.
Seeing this seal, Lu Xiangsheng was also stunned, but soon, the cause and effect were immediately understood, and there was a little regret in his eyes when he looked at Li Xiu.
The emperor's confidant and famous generals have made great achievements now. It was a storm and a future that was unlimited, but now it has been demoted to the local area. Not to mention the future, it is difficult to determine life and death when it really comes to Shaanxi.
"Don't worry, General, I will find a way to do food and grass."
After saying that, after a while, Lu Xiangsheng said, "I have read the general's memorial, and it is reasonable and well-founded..."
"The general thinks, now, how likely is the Later Jin Dynasty to break through the pass?"
“So what if you’re big, so what if you’re not big?”
Li Xiu glanced at Lu Xiangsheng and smiled and said, "Does the imperial court still have the ability to reorganize the nine-boundary defense line?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was silent. Indeed, not to mention that the court doesn’t care about it now, even if it cares, the long nine-sided defense line, how could the court have the manpower and material rectification!
If you can't rectify it, it means that even if you know it, you can only watch it...
At this point, Lu Xiangsheng's heart also had a sense of sadness.
The state is difficult, but I don’t want to spend it together, and there is still constant internal struggle...
This future...
