Chongzhen Chat Group

Chapter 806 Self-defeating

In addition, the troops brought by Liu Daneng often showed signs of being acclimatized, resulting in serious attrition, which also affected their combat effectiveness. According to local people, it is more difficult for northerners to adapt to spring and summer when living in the south. Especially in the so-called southern season, the air is humid and more people get sick.

There was nothing Liu Daneng could do about this, and neither could Sun Chuanting himself. The only option was to send the soldiers who really couldn't adapt to the southern climate back to the north, and recruit soldiers from the locals. Of course, the reason for this treatment is that these soldiers were brought by Liu Daneng, and they can be regarded as Sun Chuanting's reliable subordinates. Otherwise, if your military status reaches the south, you will never be able to return to the north unless you become a deserter.

Originally, Sun Chuanting could actually ignore the threat of Liu Xiang, the leader of the thieves, and go ashore to try if he had the ability. Between cats and mice, apart from damaging some things, who can win? Even if a state or county is attacked, as long as the county seat and the like can be defended, it will not be a big loss for the southern coast. After all, wait until the navy comes back, then you can naturally use your troops at sea!

However, Sun Chuanting himself was also under pressure. It's not that Emperor Chongzhen can't explain it. He believes that he is a member of the chat group. As long as Emperor Chongzhen doesn't make a big mistake, nothing will happen! After all, he was chosen by God to give him the opportunity to communicate directly with the emperor.

His pressure mainly comes from his ambition. Thinking back to more than half a year ago, I had a drink with Hong Zhongcheng, the then governor of Yansui, and discussed heroes. As a result, he is now a naturalized governor, but I have not achieved anything yet!

Therefore, after Sun Chuanting heard the news about Hong Chengchou, he set strict demands on himself, hoping that he could prove himself with outstanding political achievements! But he was in the southernmost part of the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible to expand the territory, so he had to think of other ways.

At this time, after hearing the suggestions from Hong Yunzheng and others, he pondered for a moment and then asked with a serious face: "In that case, are you willing to recruit me?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Yunzheng and others couldn't help but be stunned. They did not expect that Sun Zhongcheng would directly make this request. If you go, this is obviously risky, and your life may be in danger. But if no one who proposed it will go, then the proposal is obviously not good and it is just a fooling around!

Thinking like this, Hong Yunzheng did not hesitate, and immediately responded with clasped fists: "If the official is willing to go, and I believe in the status of the official, then Liu Xiang will definitely believe in the sincerity of the official!"

The others were relieved after hearing this. It would be best if Participating in Politics could respond.

But who knows, after Sun Chuanting nodded and affirmed Hong Yunzong, he immediately said: "Okay, I will make you the ambassador, Kang Chengzu will be the deputy envoy, and the counselors Xia Zhiben and Zhang Yijie will be the guards. Such a lineup should be more sufficient to show that My sincerity will enable you to complete this matter better!"

Upon hearing this, Kang Chengzu, Xia Zhiben, Zhang Yijie and others couldn't help being dumbfounded. They didn't expect that in order to show off in front of Lord Zhongcheng, they agreed with Hong Yunzheng's proposal, but in the end they were directly named by Lord Zhongcheng and wanted to follow. Go to Liu Xiang's place, this... this is really shooting yourself in the foot!

Sun Chuanting was an unsmiling person. After arriving in Fujian, he adopted an iron-blooded style in order to establish his authority. Now when he speaks, he always has a cold face, which makes these people unable to evade, or dare not evade. Under Sun Chuanting's gaze, they had no choice but to accept the orders one by one.

How could Sun Chuanting, who was sitting above, not know what they were thinking. To be honest, sending Hong Yunzheng to participate in politics is considered to be of a sufficient level, and logically speaking, it is enough. But Sun Chuanting wanted to send all these people out. The purpose was not, as he said, to make Liu Xiang believe in the sincerity of the government, but to show an attitude that when working under him, he would Words and deeds must be united, and anyone who wants to take advantage of others and fool others will not succeed! He, Sun Chuanting, wants someone who can really do practical things!

As a result, a scene similar to the original history occurred.

It's just that in the original history, in the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, Xiong Wencan, the then governor of Fujian, was unable to attack Liu Xiang, so he used his old tricks to recruit Liu Xiang to surrender. It turned out that Liu Xiang was different from Zheng Zhilong. He didn't want to be recruited and just pretended to agree to be recruited. As a result, Xiong Wencan also sent political counselor Hong Yunzheng, deputy envoy Kang Chengzu, counselor Xia Zhiben, Zhang Yijie and others to Liu Xiang's ship at sea. The decree was announced to appease, but Liu Xiang finally tied up these people and took them as hostages.

What's even more sad is that when something like this happened, Xiong Wencan immediately shirks his responsibility and reports to the court that it was Hong Yunzheng and others who believed in Liu Xiang and got themselves into trouble. The final result of Xiong Wencan was that a few years later he tried to use the move of recruiting to quell the rebellion of thieves, and finally died due to the move of recruiting.

At this time, in the governor's hall, other senior civil servants and military officers could not help but feel awe-inspiring. While they sympathized with these colleagues, they once again realized that this Jin man had a different style from previous governors. Invariably, they all secretly warned themselves that they should never say anything they were unsure about, and they would have to bear the consequences of what they said. Otherwise, it can easily become self-defeating! It seems that in front of this Sun Zhongcheng, if you want to perform well and be appreciated by Lord Zhongcheng, you must be very careful!

Sun Chuanting looked at the people below and said coldly: "Opening the sea is a national policy. It is a major matter that your Majesty is focused on and the chief assistant is personally handling. Anyone who dares to interfere with this matter will not be tolerated by me, nor will the imperial court." Gentle! But as long as you are diligent in this matter, I will notice it and will also petition for merit. Everyone, will you keep it in mind? "

"Xiaguan (the last general) remembers it!" The military general below did not dare to neglect, consciously stepped out of the line, and responded loudly.

After leaving the governor's office, Hong Yunzheng called to Kang Chengzu and others: "Everyone, how about going to my official residence to talk about recruitment?"

He has the highest official position, so logically, these colleagues will listen to him. This was indeed the case, and both Generals Xia Zhiben and Zhang Yijie nodded in agreement. But Kang Chengzu shook his head, sighed and said: "Xiaguan's family is in an emergency and we have to rush back in time. Please forgive me, Mr. Hong!"

After saying that, his mood was very low and he left in a hurry. Hong Yunzong looked a little unhappy when he saw it. Is there something urgent at home? I had never heard him say anything before the discussion, and it didn’t look like he was in trouble. Now that we have just finished the discussion, we are saying this. Who would believe this excuse?

But even though he thought so, he couldn't expose it easily, so he led the two generals away.

Besides, after Kang Chengzu hurried home, he quickly picked out some elegant gifts and hurried out again.
