The new three-sided governor Liang Tingdong finally completed the transfer of the 50,000 mobile team, but he still had time to take a breath.

Then a soldier came to report: "Report! The military gate, the imperial court's salary has arrived!"

"Ah? How many?" Liang Tingdong couldn't help but say in surprise and joy.

Since the Apocalypse, civil strife in the Ming Dynasty and external troubles continued. The court repeatedly used troops, and all military pay, pensions and military rations were severely arrears.

In addition to facing the four towns of Xuanda Ji and Liao in the Later Jin Dynasty, because they were on the front line of the battlefield, their military pay was given priority, and everything could be encouraged and supported.

It was still in the first year of Chongzhen, and the Guanning mutiny was caused by a shortage of wages. Bi Zisu, who was the governor of Liaodong at the time, was unable to calm down and died of hunger strike.

Like the three borders and four towns in Shaanxi, although they belong to the nine borders, they have to owe them first.

Some land even owes more than one year of salary, which leads to soldiers selling their children and daughters, almost like beggars and refugees.

Therefore, the Yansui area where the disaster is the most serious, there are the "Hengtian Yizi" kings, "Zijinliang" Wang Jiayin, "Break General" Li Zicheng, "Eight Kings" Zhang Xianzhong, "Living Cao Cao" Luo Rucai and other righteous troops,

Then, a vigorous uprising craze was launched.

Although these people were later named the rebel army for peasant uprisings, almost all of their leaders and backbones were low-level officers or soldiers in Yansui Bian Town Guard.

Most of these people had to rebel and survive because the court had to delay wages.

This is why some rebels have no way to defect to the officers and soldiers, and later became the main force to encircle and suppress the peasant army.

Because the rebel army from Shaanxi and the officers and soldiers from the three sides of Shaanxi are originally one side of the Ming border army, and they come from the same source.

If the court is really rich and food and pays food in a timely and in a timely and honest manner, how could there be a situation where bandits are everywhere?

As the saying goes: A good wife cannot cook without rice. Therefore, after every governor took office in the late Ming Dynasty, the first major thing was to ask for money.

This time, Liang Tingdong, the new governor of the Three Borders, had already prepared a letter of request for payment, and was preparing to send people to the capital sooner or later to cry to the emperor and the cabinet for poverty.

However, he never expected that before the letter of request for the salary could be submitted, the court took the initiative to allocate some of the military salary.

This is simply because the sun hits the west, and it is the most rare thing in ancient and modern times.

"Now the emperor has distributed 200,000 taels of gold to help suppress the money. He lost to Shaanxi, and left the province with 100,000 taels of silver to provide military supplies." The soldiers hurriedly reported according to the orders of the court.

"Taipu Temple has 100,000 taels of gold, and it will be transported to Kaifeng, Henan; 200,000 taels of salt are stored in Huaiyang to provide for the use of Zhu Dadian, the governor of the grain transportation and the governor of Fengyang; Huguang Province has 190,000 taels of silver, and the town has 100,000 taels of silver, and the town has 10,000 taels

Private."

"This? This is the imperial court's use of troops!" Liang Tingdong couldn't help but sigh in surprise.

I distributed 790,000 taels of silver in one breath, so I must hear a little water sound.

At the same time, Shanxi Governor Wu Yan, Huguang Governor Xiong Wencan, Cao Transport Governor and Fengyang Governor Zhu Dadian and others all received corresponding imperial edicts and enlisted soldiers.

It was okay for the Shanxi Governor Wu Qi to be drawn from Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi towns.

However, Huguang Governor Xiong Wencan and Cao Transport Governor Zhu Dadian were in trouble.

These two places are not like the Nine Borders. Most of the border residents and village heroes have mastered basic military skills. As long as the court is willing to spend money to recruit, they will soon be able to form combat power.

Huguang Governor Xiong Wencan asked You Zhaiwen, Xu Chengming and other generals, but Xu Chengming couldn't help but smile and said, "But I don't know anything about the military gate. I am the general who is the governor of Huguang Town."

"The five village chiefs under the jurisdiction of the Tu Miao are all brave and good at fighting, not even a single bit of "Fur Gourd".

"If the army wants to recruit soldiers, the army should be the leader, and the rest should be the next!"

"Oh?" Xiong Wencan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly had many thoughts.

Xu Chengming thought it was simple. If Xiong Wencan recruited all the soldiers in the town, not to mention the quality, but only letting the soldiers in the town will be bigger, it would not be the result he could accept.

Fortunately, Xu Chengming's proposal of "Fur Gourd" reminded Xiong Wencan that there are many people around Yunyang, and they originally belonged to "Fur Gourd", and they can also recruit many to serve as a force to suppress bandits.

In addition, Xiong Wencan, the governor of Huguang, has worked in Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi, and has a lot of experience in Western tactics and Western artillery. He couldn't help but think: "The thief is ignorant, how can I know the power of my red cannons!"

"I should send someone to invite Western instructors to train me without training a battalion of troops; then call back the old subordinates and cast several red barbarian cannons, regardless of whether the thief is brave, there will be no one who will not defeat me!"

The governor of Huguang, Xiong Wencan, had made a decision, so he ordered: "General Xu Chengming, obeyed the order, and you should go to the town to recruit 3,000 soldiers. After the training, come and respond quickly."

"The last general will take the order!" Xu Chengming was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly took the order honestly.

He originally thought that Xiong Wencan, the governor of Huguang, wanted him to recruit more than 10,000 troops, but he never expected that there was only 3,000 yuan, and there was a lot of oil and water missing in the middle!

However, Xu Chengming did not dare to show any dissatisfaction when he was a senior official, so he had to take the order and leave.

When Xu Chengming just left, Xiong Wencan asked again: "Who is the governor of Yunyang now? Can you take office?"

"Reported to the military, after the former governor of Yunyang, Lu Xiangsheng, lost the thief's attack, the court appointed Song Zushun, the right censor of the Censorate, to take up this position, and he has already taken office." The aides beside Xiong Wencan responded quickly after hearing this.

"Oh? What is this person's resume?" Xiong Wencan picked up the teacup and took a sip after hearing this.

He worked in Fujian for a long time and especially liked to drink the Dahongpao of Wuyi Mountain. He also brought a lot of them when he took office in Huguang this time, so he soaked a pot from time to time and tasted it.

"It can be considered a military expert. I heard that he has quite understood some military tactics. He has been in Shaanxi and Shanxi for many years and should have some skills." The staff responded in an orderly manner.

"Okay!" Xiong Wencan praised after hearing this, "Since that's the case, I'll be a letter."

"In the past, Lu Xiang was promoted to office and was extremely difficult. She still relied on the relief of the former governor of Huguang Tang Hui. Now that Song Zushun is in office, there is probably a shortage."

"I want to help him with 20,000 yuan. I ask him to help me choose a battalion of 'Fur Gourd'. I will leave it for my own use. I wonder if it is okay?" Xiong Wencan said with a smile.

"The military is very insightful, and now you can get six thousand elite soldiers in vain without any effort!" said the staff member.

"What is worth it?" Xiong Wencan said confidently, "The court and I had only asked me to recruit more than 10,000 troops, but they underestimated Xiong!"

"I want to use the remaining silver to cast 88 red cannons, 2,000 bird guns, 2,000 long spears, buy more than a thousand war horses, recruit 6,000 people, don't practice a battalion, claiming to be the "firearm battalion" as
