In fact, as long as the court can solve the problem of military pay, food and grass, Zuo Liangyu is willing to follow his loyalty. But the problem is that these local troops usually raise their own military pay, which will easily lead to the local troops holding troops and valorizing their own tails.

In this way, Emperor Chongzhen was in a difficult situation. On the one hand, he had to rely on these local soldiers to fight against the bandits. On the other hand, he was afraid that these local soldiers would cause separatist situations of vassal states. So he secretly ordered Sun Chuanting to kill He Renlong.

Zuo Liangyu was scared, but fortunately, Sun Chuanting's letter cursed him. In fact, for Zuo Liangyu, the more ruthless Sun Chuanting scolded him, the happier he would be. This at least shows that he would not end up like He Renlong.

Scolding yourself proves that you are useful. What is important is that if the court can solve the problem of military pay, food and grass for his army, Zuo Liangyu is willing to obey the court's orders and follow him to the death.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to do this. He could control the military pay, food and grass of the local army. The problem was that the court itself could not make any mistakes. He spent money on wars for years, and the court itself could no longer bear such a huge military expenditure.

Especially those local troops who were exhausted in pursuing bandits, the imperial court sometimes had to acquiesce their own military funds to solve their urgent needs.

Don’t think that Emperor Chongzhen was so generous. He gave Sun Chuanting the position of governor of the three borders of Shaanxi from the beginning and then supervised the seven provinces. A large part of the reason is that the bandits in Henan, Huguang, Shaanxi were really unable to defeat the enemy and killed them. This mess was like a giant beast that could not be eaten, constantly devouring the finances of the Ming Dynasty.

Let it go, the bandits are getting bigger and bigger, so that Li Zicheng and others are responding to one million. Just keep in mind, the treasury does not have so much money to fill this bottomless pit in it.

Let Sun Chuanting take office and give him the military and political power of the three border governors in Shaanxi. Let him find a way out and find a way out. Can you fight? Then let him leave the bandits to you to fight.

Sun Chuanting did not rush to fight the bandits, but did a major event that was twice as shocking as the sky. Sun Chuanting broke through the Ming Dynasty.

If the killing of He Renlong and rectifying military discipline was commended by Emperor Chongzhen, then what Sun Chuanting did next made Emperor Chongzhen almost bow down.

The traitors and sons have no king or father, they deceive the king and the superiors, and their intention to rebel is obvious. This is all the evaluations made by Emperor Chongzhen to Sun Chuanting.

Because Sun Chuanting did a series of major things that were untolerable to the world in the three sides of Shaanxi.

First, Sun Chuanting learned from bandits and robbed the rich and helped the poor to act as a way for heaven. He first cut off He Renlong and controlled the Qin soldiers firmly in his hands. Then, he ate the big families in various counties.

The so-called big-time people are to take action against those landlords who are unkind. If they eat what they wear and rob them of what they do, the landlords and businessmen must donate one-third of their property, otherwise they will face the slightest part of being imprisoned and confiscated.

The money robbed was used for military pay expenses, and then the granaries of each county were opened to provide relief to the refugees. Then, the local tyrants were beaten and distributed to the land.

In short, the thief Li Zicheng did whatever he did. He walked the thief and left the thief with no way out. In this way, the poor people and countless refugees turned from the initial loyalty to the thief and the Qin soldiers who were loyal to Sun Chuanting.

Of course, after all, Sun Chuanting was a member of the court, and was different from the bandits. Taking advantage of the big family does not mean that they were killed. They only need to take out one-third of their property to replenish the army and they can be exempted from punishment.

Similarly, the land annexation in the Ming Dynasty was serious at this time, and it had reached a point of shocking and madness. For large households with more than a hundred gluts of land, the excess land must be confiscated and then the land will be redistributed.

In order to prevent the continued land annexation, these lands are re-allocated to the people. The people's land has only the right to plant and no right to buy and sell, and private selling of land is a serious crime.

The most important thing is that all the big rats raised before the Ming Dynasty were abolished. For example, scholars, scholars with fame and honor in the world, and even scholars did not need to pay taxes or do not need to be corveted.

From now on, all the treatments in the three sides of Shaanxi will be cancelled. Whether you are a juren, a scholar or a scholar with other fame, you must have the responsibility to pay taxes. If you cancel all the treatments granted to you by the Ming Dynasty, you must not be less taxed, and you must be subject to corvee labor.

Rich businessmen will be charged with commercial taxes. When learning from the experience of collecting commercial taxes by the Crown Prince in Beijing, anyone who does business will have to pay taxes. Those who refuse to pay taxes will be imprisoned.

There is even more powerful one. Zhu Yuanzhang granted his descendants. By the generation of Emperor Chongzhen, the descendants of the old Zhu family were said to have reached one million.

These royal relatives are all borers who eat and wait for death. They are all passed down from generation to generation according to the relationship between legitimate and illegitimate concubines. These princes and relatives of Zhu are all lazy and idle. Their food, drink, defecation and sensation are all supported by the court. They have salaries and special treatments, and they eat and wait for death to show off their power.

From today on, all the people under the rule of Shaanxi, whether you are a royal relative or a high-ranking official, these treatments should be cancelled. In the future, all the benefits of the Zhu royal relatives, except for the Lords and Princes, will be cancelled.

In other words, the court no longer supports you. The royal relatives of Zhu, who are legitimate descendants can be exempted from corvee service and enjoy a tax exemption policy. Other descendants of ordinary descendants have the obligation to perform corvee service and collect taxes.

As soon as these decrees were issued, it caused a stir in Shaanxi. First, scholars caused trouble and besieged the county government. Then, descendants of Zhu's surname followed him to make trouble, and wrote letters to impeach him, describing Sun Chuanting as a demon with ulterior motives and rebellion.

Even the magistrates of many prefectures and counties took the lead in protesting, holding Sun Chuanting's orders down and not issuing them. They said that they violated the ancestral system and were incompatible with the law, and the subordinate officials had the right to refuse.

Sun Chuanting treated them very neatly. Two magistrates and five magistrates were beheaded directly, and a total of 1,231 descendants of the Zhu family were demoted to common people. Twenty-five juren, one hundred and eleven scholars were removed from fame.

The head of the troublemakers killed the city and hung people on the city walls to show their lives. Two hundred and seventy-six wealthy households were killed and 1,506 households were searched.

For a time, Shaanxi was like a hell on earth. There were wailing everywhere, unlike before, when the wailing people were all over the place.

Sun Chuanting became a demon in the mouth of everyone. Especially those scholars, who used all their viciousness and arranged their skills. Sun Chuanting's name existed like a devil in the whole of Shaanxi. Legend has it that he ate his bone marrow and was cruel and tyrannical. Sun Chuanting's name has the effect of stopping the cry of a child.

What's more serious was that it directly caused strong resistance from some major landlords. They even rebelled openly, including many royal relatives. Sun Chuanting's method of dealing with it was even more direct, sending his subordinates Qin soldiers to kill them all!
