Yang Sichang is in charge of the Ministry of War. Sun Chuanting denounced the Ministry of War's life as a slander, which is tantamount to scolding Yang Sichang. At least that's what Fu Gong thinks. [No pop-up novel website]

In fact, Fu Gong misunderstood Sun Chuanting. Sun Chuanting has been in office for a long time, so how could he not know that this was a corruption in the Ming Dynasty and could not be changed by Yang Sichang? Sun Chuanting was actually not dissatisfied with Yang Sichang, and what he scolded was nothing more than the system of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Sichang was unwilling to do this from the bottom of his heart when he was remotely controlling the generals to fight thousands of miles away. However, the Ming Dynasty court was very wary of the people who commanded the troops. It was impossible to grant power to Zhang Zhao, Tian Chuyun and Lin Chunyi like Lin Chunhong. Yang Sichang was also determined to change this, but as soon as he spoke, he was strongly opposed by the ministers and the savages in the court. Later, even Zhu Youjian, who trusted him, hinted that he gave up.

In desperation, Yang Sichangti didn't dare to mention this matter again.

However, Sun Chuanting expressed his dissatisfaction with the chaos in the Ministry of War on various occasions, which attracted the attention of those who were interested and spread it widely, so that rumors inside and outside the court were flying everywhere, saying that Sun Chuanting and Yang Sichang were in conflict.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for now.

Let’s talk about Sun Chuanting always paying attention to the progress of Lu’s County’s recruitment and surrender, but Xiong Wencan, who was lying in Yuzhou, was confused and was in full swing.

Almost at the same time when Sun Chuanting received the order from the Ministry of War, Xiong Wencan also received an order from the court. The general meaning was to ask Xiong Wencan to promote the surrender and properly place the bandits in Lushi County. In order to prevent the bandits from rebelling again, it should be limited to three months, and depending on their performance, and decide whether to accept the surrender statement. Within three months, the bandits should be closely monitored.

Xiong Wencan was overjoyed and immediately upgraded the level of negotiation to the level of governor. So, Zhang Xianzhong was surrendered and Luo Rucai finally entered the substantive stage.

Xiong Wencan first proposed that the Cavalry Army escort Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai go to Mogoukou, Lushi County, and resettled Xiongerkou. Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were afraid of the combat effectiveness and mobility of the Cavalry Army, and were worried that the Cavalry Army would make plans on the way, so they firmly disagreed. Xiong Wencan didn't care and agreed with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai to escort him by the three thousand musketeers under his command.

In addition, Xiong Wencan followed the orders of the court and agreed with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai that the army would arrive at Mogoukou and place it in three months. If the court was determined to surrender, the court would finally accept the surrender of the two. What the bandits lacked most now is breathing and resting. After three months, do you know what will happen? Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai naturally did not object and agreed happily.

To put it nicely, the essence is surveillance. Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai have nearly 50,000, all of whom are old bandits, so they naturally dislike the musketeers who follow behind. In addition, they are not allowed to continue to rob, and they have long been unable to eat. The musketeers behind them eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day, which makes the bandits envious of their eyes green.

Whether it was Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai, or the musketeer general Huang Dingguo, they were all extremely nervous. When they were sleeping every day, they stared at each other with one eye open. Huang Dingguo was afraid that the two of them would rebel again, and the army was more than twenty miles away from the bandits, and they would immediately escape once the bandits had any movement. 50,000 elderly bandits and 3,000 new musketeers, the strength comparison was there, and Huang Dingguo could not be ignored at all.

Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai not only had to stare at Huang Ding's troops, but also around Luonan. The two of them placed the ward to 20 miles away, for fear that the court would deploy the officers and soldiers on the way forward and catch turtles in a jar.

In such a tense atmosphere, the march was naturally not fast. The bandits could only travel thirty miles in a day. After six days, Zhang Xianzhong's army arrived at Mogoukou. Luo Rucai's army arrived at Xiongerkou, three days later than Zhang Xianzhong.

Before Zhang Xianzhong arrived at the entrance of Mogou, he looked at it for a moment, and saw the steep mountains and sparsely populated areas, and he couldn't help but curse: "The dog-good Xiong Wencan has no good intentions, so he has no choice but to rob me. He sincerely wants to starve me to death in Lu's family..."

Zhang Xianzhong was in a very bad mood and cursed all the way, all the way to Mogoukou. When he arrived at Mogoukou, he suddenly saw that it was crowded with people, and everyone was carrying pickaxes to dig hard at the foot of the mountain. After he got to know a little, he realized that there was a lot of iron ore here.

Zhang Xianzhong's depressedness was thrown out of the sky and couldn't help but be overjoyed. He unceremoniously incorporated more than 10,000 mining troops and included them under his command, and ordered the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people to serve as laborers and mined continuously every day.

Just three days later, a group of merchants came from Nanyang along the Kuiling River Valley. They not only brought a large amount of food and daily necessities, but also purchased crude iron. When the merchant left, Zhang Xianzhong ordered Liu Wenxiu to settle the score and found that there was still a slight surplus.

Zhang Xianzhong was overjoyed and had the idea of ​​recruiting people and expanding the scale of mining.

Like Mogoukou, Luo Rucai was also satisfied, even went further than Zhang Xianzhong, and dreamed of a mine boss.

These are naturally Lin Chunhong's arrangements. If more than 50,000 people are cultivated, hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land must be needed. This is impossible for Lushi County, which has many mountains and few fields.

If mining, there is no problem. A few hills are enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and they also control the lifeblood of the bandits.

Xiong Wencan's reunion is progressing smoothly, and Sun Chuanting's place is not bad at all. As soon as Sun Chuanting decided how to stir up trouble with the Lu family, he received Liu Guoneng's surrender.

Liu Guoneng was from Yan'an, Shaanxi. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Yan'an was considered a Fengshui treasure land for rebellion, and brought batches of outstanding rebel generals to the rioters.

Liu Guoneng can only be considered a small role. He has won the reputation of a scholar and was once a member of the Ming system.

For some reason, Liu Guoneng embarked on the road of rebellion. It took seven or eight years to go on this road. For some reason, after seven or eight years, Liu Guoneng suddenly realized that he did not want to take this road anymore, thinking of surrendering to the officers and soldiers and making achievements.

Liu Guoneng and Sun Chuanting, one was willing to surrender and the other was willing to surrender. Naturally, everything went well. Liu Guoneng was granted the garrison of Fengxiang Mansion, and most of his subordinates were dismissed, with only more than 3,000 elite troops left, and they went to Fengxiang to guard the city today.

When Sun Chuanting learned that Zhang Xianzhong was recruiting people to mine, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but say to Fu Gong: "I was worried about how to deal with Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai, but the opportunity came by chance. And..."

Sun Chuanting sneered a few times, and then said, "Xiong Wencan was sowed by the two in order to successfully surrender Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai. This time he happened to borrow it for use."

Fu Gong also said: "After recruiting Liu Guoneng, the lord can also pull out his hand."

The two discussed secretly for a long time and finalized some details. Sun Chuanting immediately recruited dead soldiers with outstanding martial arts in the entire army, and obtained more than 100 people. With Wang Wenqing as the commander, he crossed the Grape Ridge and looked at Lu's family.
