"Hehe, you have lost the whole of Shanxi. I don't know what kind of face you have to come to see me." Sun Chuanting shot two sharp lights in his eyes, and walked towards Wu Zhen.

Wu Xuan lowered his head, with a wry smile on his face.

Losing a city or land is a felony, and Wu Zhen also knew that he had a hard time today.

"The criminal deserves death. Losing the city and losing the land is a felony. What's more, the criminal let the Jin King's lineage be captured by the rebels. The criminal has a serious crime. Please forgive me." Wu Yan knelt on the ground, his body The clothes were in tatters, and he said in a low tone.

Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Tong quietly and did not speak for a long time.

Behind Wu Sheng were Li Tianhe and some county magistrates who escaped with Li Tianhe.

Sun Chuanting looked at them quietly with a gloomy face.

After a long while, Sun Chuanting said: "Now I am the governor of the three provinces, the governor of counter-insurgency matters, in command of the soldiers and horses of Shanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces.

Your position as governor is gone, but His Majesty did not explicitly convict you. However, it is an unchanging fact that you lost your city and land, not to mention that you have also lost your relatives.Whether it is losing the city and land or losing the pro-vassal, this is a serious crime. "

Wu Tong's head sank even lower. Hearing Sun Chuanting's emotionless words, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Your position as governor is gone, and the counter-insurgency affairs will be taken over by this official, and you have personally fought against the rebels and have experience in fighting the rebels, so the court decided not to execute you.

But it doesn't mean that you will be safe and sound. From now on, you will be white.But counter-insurgency matters cannot be slack, and your experience against the enemy is also very important, so you will have to contribute to counter-insurgency in the future. "

As soon as Sun Chuanting's voice fell, Wu Tong looked at Sun Chuanting in disbelief.

According to his thinking, he lost the whole of Shanxi, which is a serious crime, and the lightest crime is exile. He really didn't expect Sun Chuanting to spare himself so lightly?

Besides, what Sun Chuanting said later, he has become white, so how can he contribute to the suppression of the rebellion?

In fact, before Sun Chuanting came, Chongzhen was going to ask Sun Chuanting to arrest Wu Zhen and send him to the capital after seeing him.

But Sun Chuanting didn't want to do this. Although Wu Zhen lost Shanxi, it can't be all blamed on Wu Zhen. After all, Zhao Wen's weapon is too powerful.

Besides, Wu Xuan had fought against Zhao Wen and was familiar with Zhao Wen's army, which is exactly what the current court needs.

Therefore, after Sun Chuanting earnestly pleaded for Wu Xin, Chongzhen finally agreed with Sun Chuanting not to arrest Wu Xin.However, Wu Zhen could not continue to be an official.

According to Chongzhen's temperament, Chongzhen originally didn't want to spare Wu Tong, but what Sun Chuanting said was very reasonable, after all, Zhao Wen couldn't be compared with other people.

"And you people, you should also get up. This battle is a crime other than war, and has little to do with you. Bandit Zhao's weapon is too powerful."

Sun Chuanting pointed to the officials kneeling behind Wu Tong, and said.

Anyway, even Wu Tong was exonerated, so Chongzhen also took advantage of the opportunity to exonerate these people.

When the officials behind Wu Tong heard Sun Chuanting's words, they heaved a sigh of relief, and finally relaxed a lot.

"However, you are the same as Wu Zhen, and you can no longer be officials." Sun Chuanting changed his tone and looked at them.

Can't be an official?It doesn't matter whether you can become an official or not, at least your life will be saved.As long as you save your life, there may be a turning point in the future.

"Thank you, sir!" These officials saluted Sun Chuanting and stood up.

Sun Chuanting stood up from the chair and walked in front of Wu Sheng.

"Brother Wu, originally His Majesty wanted to punish you. If I hadn't argued for it, I'm afraid that the people who greeted Brother Wu at this time would not be me but Jinyiwei and Dongchang." Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Shen with a calm tone. Said.

Looking at Sun Chuanting's sincere eyes, Wu Tong hurriedly cupped his hands at Sun Chuanting, "Thank you for your help, sir. I really don't know how to repay you."

Regarding Sun Chuanting's words, Wu Tong was still somewhat puzzled.But Wu Xuan soon figured it out, after all, he had lost the city and land, and lost his pro-vassal.These charges are serious crimes of losing one's head. Now that he has been exempted from punishment, I am afraid that what Sun Chuanting said is very likely to be true.

Sun Chuanting said: "Hey, what can I say to repay you? Brother Wu fought against the rebels in Shanxi, and he has experience. And this experience is exactly what we need. If Brother Wu doesn't dislike it, can you help me and make suggestions for me to calm down as soon as possible? Rebels."

"If that's the case, then I'll be disrespectful." Now that this point has been reached, Wu Zhen has no other choice but to agree to Sun Chuanting's conditions.

I was originally the governor of Shanxi, a great official in the borderlands, but now I can only submit to others and become an aide who advises others.

The gap here is really too big, but the matter has reached such a point, Wu Sheng has no way to refuse.

Sun Chuanting took Wu Tong's arm and burst out laughing.

After a while, Sun Chuanting put away his smile, "By the way, I heard that you evacuated the entire south of Shanxi this time, is that true?"

"Returning to my lord, I can't say that the entire south of Shanxi has been emptied, but only a part of it has been moved. The number of gentry who followed in the south is not very large. As for those gentry who didn't come, they have a small calculation in their hearts. Say, grown-ups know too.

And not all the officials who came to the south with me were willing to come to Henan. A large part of the gentry were unwilling to come down to Henan, so they ran away halfway, some went to Shaanxi, and some went to Beizhili , the remaining gentry add up to no more than 80 households.

Not only the gentry, but even the soldiers and young men in Xialong also left a lot. Now there are only more than 6000 soldiers and young men in total.

Because it is winter, coupled with the continuous heavy snow, the consumption of food is very serious.Now almost half of the food I have produced has been consumed, and as for the silver produced, I have also used up more than half of it in order to boost morale. " Wu Zhen replied.

Listening to Wu Tong's description, Sun Chuanting kept thinking.

To be honest, Sun Chuanting's expectations of what Wu Zhen said were also within his expectations.

After all, losing battles has always been like this from ancient times to the present, and fortunately they didn't run away.

"This kind of thing is also very normal. After all, we have lost the battle." Sun Chuanting sighed softly, and then said: "Brother Wu is very tired from walking all the way, why don't you go back to the city to rest first, as for the rest of the matter. give it to me."

Wu Xuan is not a fool, of course he knows what Sun Chuanting is doing, he wants to swallow all the horses he has brought out through hard work.

But now I have become a white body, even if I don't agree, it doesn't work, let alone Sun Chuanting is still the governor of the three provinces.

"If that's the case, then I'll hand over all these troops to your lord." Wu Tong cupped his hands at Sun Chuanting and was about to leave.

Sun Chuanting pointed to Sun He who was standing behind him, and shouted: "Get a sedan chair for Brother Wu, Brother Wu has worked hard all the way here, let Brother Wu have a good rest."

Sun He nodded at Sun Chuanting, and hurriedly led several servants to run to the back.

After seeing off Wu Xin, Sun Chuanting walked forward again.

"My lord, the culprit is Li Tianhe, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan!" Seeing Sun Chuanting approaching, Li Tianhe hurriedly saluted Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting waved his hand and said indifferently: "The general is not guilty of any crime. You are what the imperial court needs most. Do your best for the imperial court and recover Shanxi as soon as possible."

"The last general takes orders!" Seeing that Sun Chuanting didn't care about his crimes, Li Tianhe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Sun Chuanting finished inspecting all these officials, Sun Chuanting found one of his confidants.

The servant Sun Chuanting found was called Sun Da, who used to be a soldier of Zhenwuwei, but by mistake, Sun Chuanting took him under his command.

Sun Da was wearing cotton armor and stood in front of Sun Chuanting, "My lord!"

"You bring some people to gather all the soldiers and young men brought by Wu Xin, as well as the food and money brought by Wu Zhen. These things are very important to me, and I must not lose them." Sun Chuanting pointed out Pointing to the long queue ahead that was still coming this way, he said to Sun Da.

"Obey!" Sun Day clasped his fists together, and then led a dozen servants to ride forward on horses.

After Sun Da left, Wu Tong called Xuan Mo, the former governor of Henan, over.

Xuan Mo was originally the governor of Henan Province, but since Sun Chuanting came with the imperial decree, Xuan Mo became Sun Chuanting's subordinate.

His title of governor was also changed to the chief secretary of Henan, and the original chief secretary was transferred away.

"Now you lead some people to bring these gentry and officials from Shanxi back to Jiyuan City first. Remember to settle them properly, especially these gentry." Sun Chuanting said to Xuan Mo who was standing in front of him.

Xuan Mo nodded, "Your Majesty will definitely remember your lord's order and arrange all these people properly."

……

In about ten days, Zhao Daniu and Song Hu sent all the captured officials to Yangcheng, and the captured King Shen was also sent to Yangcheng.

After these prisoners were sent to Yangcheng, Zhao Wen began to send the captured officials to Dengzhou.

As for Jin Wang Shen Wang and others, Zhao Wen has no such plan now, after all, Oceania is a bit far away from Daming.

While sending these officials, Zhao Wen also sent Hong Chengchou there.

Although Hong Chengchou's character is not very good, he still has some abilities. With Hong Chengchou in charge, at least the affairs of the Wa Kingdom can be improved a lot, and the Wa Kingdom can be pacified a lot faster.

During the escort, Zhao Wen dispatched almost 3000 troops. These 3000 troops also carried a large amount of weapons and ammunition when they left, mainly light weapons. As for the 107 rocket launcher and the 152mm cannon howitzer, they did not carry it.

Heavy weapons are too heavy to transport well.The weapons they carry are mainly to deal with the daimyos in the territory of Wa, and these light weapons are almost enough.

After sending all these officials away, Zhao Wen did not take any further action.

The whole of Shanxi seems to have calmed down all of a sudden, but all this is just an appearance.

The reason why Zhao Wen did not act was because the officials who came to Shanxi were not yet in place.

After about a month or two, officials from Xuanzhen finally took over the whole of Shanxi.

When the whole of Shanxi was taken over, Zhao Wen did not choose to send a large army to attack Shaanxi or Henan, but launched a vigorous campaign to attack the local tyrants and divide the fields.

Although Wu Zhen took many gentry with him when he fled south, these gentry were still too few compared to the whole of Shanxi.

Nowadays, there are still many gentry in Shanxi. If you want to realize the imperial power to go to the countryside, you must limit the rights of gentry.

At this stall, Wu Keshan escorted Fan Wencheng to Zhao Wen's place.

Chapter 434 What a Fan Wencheng

At this time, Zhao Wen had already returned to Taiyuan Mansion. After all, Taiyuan Mansion was the provincial capital of Shanxi, and Taiyuan Mansion was much closer to Xuanzhen than Yangcheng. It was more convenient to do business in Taiyuan Mansion than in Yangcheng.

Besides, Zhao Wen is the commander-in-chief of Xuanzhen Town. Anyway, Zhao Wen shouldn't just stay in Yangcheng, and Zhao Wen has no plans to attack Henan and Shaanxi yet, so it would be inappropriate to stay in Yangcheng.

When Zhao Wen went to Taiyuan Mansion, he only brought his own guards and horses, and the remaining soldiers were left near Yangcheng by Zhao Wen.

Although Zhao Wen does not intend to attack Henan and Shanxi now, it does not mean that he will not attack these two places in the future.

King Jin and King Shen were left in Yangcheng by Zhao Wen. Sooner or later, these people will be sent to Oceania.

When Zhao Wen came to Taiyuan Mansion, according to Zhao Wen's order, the entire Taiyuan Mansion had already started a vigorous campaign to beat local tyrants and divide the land.

Zhao Wen had done these things in Xuan Town before, so Zhao Wen was also very handy in this kind of thing of beating local tyrants and dividing the land.

Because of the important geographical location of Taiyuan Prefecture, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture is a capable official specially selected from Xuanzhen.

When this He Yu was in Xuanzhen, he was a capable general under Zhou Runyu, the head of the official department. He was born in Juren and was very capable in the administration of officials.

It was for this reason that Liu Wenzhong sent He Yu to Taiyuan Prefecture as the magistrate.

He Yu also came with more than 1000 college students and more than a dozen scribes. Besides these, there were nearly [-] reserve soldiers.

After these people arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, they quickly settled down Taiyuan Mansion and began to restore Taiyuan Mansion.

Because of the heavy snow before, construction materials such as cement were not delivered in time, so now it is only doing some simple repairs to Taiyuan Mansion.

Only the city walls of Taiyuan Mansion were severely damaged, and the impact on these people in Taiyuan Mansion was not great.

......

"My lord, the story of beating local tyrants and dividing the land has spread throughout Taiyuan Mansion, and now the people around Taiyuan Mansion basically understand these policies.

More than half of the land near Taiyuan Mansion has been cleared, and I believe that it will not take long to clear all these lands. He Yu looked at Zhao Wen who was sitting in the main seat in the hall of the governor's yamen in Taiyuan Mansion, holding a document in his hand, reading slowly.

Because only one area of ​​Shanxi has been taken down at present, and it is relatively easy to manage, there is no governor of Shanxi.

In this way, the governor's yamen became vacant and became the magistrate's yamen.As for the former magistrate's yamen, it was changed to another yamen.

Listening to He Yu's report, Zhao Wen kept nodding his head, "That's right, you've done a good job. The land of King Jin's family must be cleared, and the land of those powerful gentry should also be cleared." .

While clearing the land, those gentry cannot be beaten to death with a single stick.If the land of some good gentry was obtained through reasonable means and the people have no objection, then bypass them, but if not, all of them must be checked except for the land they originally owned.

These lands are to be distributed to the poor local people in Taiyuan Prefecture, so they cannot be sloppy.When clearing the land, it is also necessary to find out which gentry are good and which are extremely vicious. For the vicious gentry, a public trial meeting will be held, and those who should be sentenced will be sentenced, and those who should be imprisoned. "

Before this public trial meeting, Song Hu had done it when he captured Daizhou City. At that time, Zhao Wen asked people to take that public trial meeting as a model, and wrote a booklet of the public trial meeting and passed it to Xuanzhen.

Therefore, He Yu is no stranger to the public trial meeting that Zhao Wen mentioned.

"Obey!" He Yu put away the documents, cupped his fists at Zhao Wen, then turned and left.

Not long after leaving, Li Xiaosan ran in from the outside.

Zhao Wen brought Li Xiaosan with him when he returned to Taiyuan Mansion.

"My lord, Fan Wencheng was escorted here by Wu Keshan Taiji."

Before Zhao Wen could speak, Li Xiaosan shouted excitedly at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the chair suddenly, "Here you are? Where are you?"

Before Zhao Wen set off from Yangcheng, he had already learned about Fan Wencheng. For Fan Wencheng, a big traitor, Zhao Wen had long wanted to see and see.

Fan Wencheng is a well-known big traitor in history. This bastard even claimed to be the descendant of Fan Zhongyan, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty. If Fan Zhongyan knew that he had such a descendant, he would probably jump out of his grave angrily.

"My lord, we have already arrived outside the city, and now we are about to enter the city." Li Xiaosan pointed out the gate, and said excitedly.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that Fan Wencheng is still alive today. Pass my order to let Wu Keshan take Fan Wencheng directly to the prison." After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and led the ten or so people in the hall. The guard walked outside.

Not long after, Wu Keshan brought Fan Wencheng to the gate of the prison.

Zhao Wen had already waited at the gate of the prison. When Zhao Wen saw the prison cars behind Wu Keshan, two cold lights shot out from his eyes.
