    As the New Year is getting closer and closer, the weather is getting colder and colder. It seems that there is nothing going on in the court since the New Year, and everything has calmed down.  .But the Beijing inspection is still going on. Every day, ministers are appointed to their posts and ministers are fired.  However, Emperor Tianqi did not use too drastic measures, and the house raids and imprisonment did not happen, which made the originally panic-stricken officials feel a lot better.  However, returning the embezzled gold and silver left most of the people found guilty bankrupt.  People who are found to have problems naturally complain in their hearts. This era is not as particular about evidence as the market outlook. Anyone who can't account for it is considered to have been embezzled by you.  Many people had difficulty in distinguishing themselves and had to sell off their property.  No one would stand up and speak out about this kind of thing, they would all avoid it.  If you get involved with these people, your statement will be ruined.  Although some ministers also murmured in their hearts, if the Jin Yiwei were arresting people all over the city this time, someone would definitely come forward and even go to the Meridian Gate to ask for orders.  But this is the Beijing Procuratorate, a purge operation within the civil service. The evidence is abundant, and no one has the courage to murmur.  Emperor Tianqi has been in a good mood these days, and matters in the court are proceeding in an orderly manner as the New Year approaches.  The shipyard is preparing materials and construction will begin in the spring next year.  There was no omission in the merger of the firearms factory and the Ministry of Industry, and those corrupt officials were basically eliminated by the Beijing police.  There has been little progress in the improvement of artillery and muskets. The rifling is still what Emperor Tianqi imagined. Other than these, everything else is fine.  There is no war on the border in winter, and there is no explanation about the restructuring of Liaodong, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.  A memorial has been issued in Sichuan, the situation has stabilized, and it is only a matter of time before the rebellion is suppressed.  After summarizing all the things, Emperor Tianqi is still in a good mood. Although the money in the inner treasury is not much, it is enough for the time being.  The stall at Longchang Company has already been opened, and profits will only come sooner or later.  Although there is no money in the treasury, it should be enough for next year's expenses after this Beijing inspection.  Putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly. The situation was quite stable. As long as he gave himself a few years, everything would be different.  It looks like I can have a good New Year!  The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is Xiaonian.  This day was supposed to be the day for the court meeting, but Emperor Tianqi gave the ministers a holiday, so the court meeting did not take place.  The capital is prosperous, and every household is preparing for the New Year.  The severe cold has not stopped people's enthusiasm. For people in the Ming Dynasty, celebrating the New Year has always been the most important thing.  We are also preparing to celebrate the New Year. The atmosphere in Sichuan is far different from that in the capital. Chengdu is a little better, but there is no sense of celebrating the New Year in the military camp.  Staring closely at the map in front of him, Sun Chuanting's brows were slightly frowned, and the expression on his face was very solemn.  After a long while, he slowly turned around, glanced at the people sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, I really feel sorry for bothering you to come to the military camp this time. The Chinese New Year is coming soon!" "My lord is joking,  This is Sichuan's business. You have traveled thousands of miles to come to Sichuan. It is a tribute to your hard work. I am doing something to suppress the rebellion. This is what I should do!" Lin Zai, the inspector, had a very low attitude.  I knew in my heart that Master Sun was no ordinary person.  He is in a high position at a young age, and he is quite good at commanding and fighting. His ability and future are far ahead of his own.  Nodding slowly, Sun Chuanting said solemnly: "Mr. Lin, today is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Mr. Lin also knows my thoughts, and I want to end the war here as soon as possible.  During the war, the rebellion in Sichuan was put down years ago. " Lin Zai glanced at Sun Chuanting and said with a smile: "It's good for you to have this idea. It's just that the officers and soldiers are well versed in combat matters, but you still have to make the final decision on logistics and supplies.  Your Excellency, you can leave it to your subordinates. The King of Shu has sent 20,000 tons of food. The food and grass are still guaranteed." Sun Chuanting glanced at Lin Zai gratefully, and his doubts disappeared. After thinking about it, he said solemnly: "  Break out the camp early tomorrow morning and march into Yongning. I want to pacify Yongning in a battle! " Attacking Yongning is what Sun Chuanting must do, and there is no room for negotiation.  Originally, the Ming army had been marching towards Yongning after they divided their forces, but the speed was not fast. After receiving food and grass supplies.  Naturally, Sun Chuanting no longer had any worries. He ordered an urgent march early on the first day, and the army approached Yongning.  After several fierce battles, the Ming army's morale was high and they advanced with great success.  However, She Chongming's side was in dire straits, and he had no power to fight back at all.  From the time Sun Chuanting broke camp and raised his troops, there were always people coming to seek refuge with him along the way.  Some were the dispersed armies of the Ming Dynasty, and some were local chieftains.  Everyone complained when they saw Sun Chuanting, but Sun Chuanting did not make things difficult for them.  After a day of urgent march, the army headed for the Taoist land.??, this is a very rare terrain in Sichuan.  A huge mountain valley surrounded by several large mountains. The inside is very gentle, much like a small plain.  "Sir, there are rebels ahead. There are about 20,000 in number. They seem to be in a hurry." The scout rode to Sun Chuanting's side, his face full of excitement. In the eyes of the scout, the people in front of him were not enemies.  It¡¯s all your own credit!  Frowning slightly, Sun Chuanting couldn't help but murmur in his heart, is this a trap by the rebels?  Or actually try a chance encounter?  After taking a look at the scouts, Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice: "Have you found out clearly? Is there only one rebel army? Are there no ambush around?" "Back to my lord, I asked the guide in my lowly position. The terrain here is very special. It is a flat river. The distance is  The nearest mountain pass is still fifteen miles away, and the rebels are just wishful thinking to ambush us!" The scout's face suddenly became serious, he hugged Sun Chuanting and said respectfully.  "Sir, the rebels are already coming to our side. They are very fast. It seems that they have discovered us. They have already attacked. Please make up your mind!" A scout galloped over on horseback with a look on his face.  Still shining with excitement.  Sun Chuanting suddenly felt as if he was laughing or laughing. It seemed that the other party didn't think highly of him!  But looking around, Sun Chuanting also felt a little frustrated.  The surrendered rebels and chieftains, Sun Chuanting, were all handed over to the surrendered Luo Qianxiang. They walked on both sides of the team. From a distance, it seemed that the entire team was composed of such people.  Coupled with the scattered Ming troops in the Ming army, this team does not seem to have much combat effectiveness.  Sun Chuanting smiled playfully, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, we can't be looked down upon by others! Leave five thousand people to guard the baggage, and the rest will fight with me!" The officers who followed Sun Chuanting were all the same  Stupid, Sun Chuanting was a civil servant, so why did he go to the battlefield in person?  A general stood up quickly and said: "Sir, it is your responsibility to strategize, and it is the responsibility of the humble rank to charge into battle. I hope you will leave a way for low-ranking people to survive." Sun Chuanting looked at the speaking general with anger and amusement.  He said rather helplessly: "General Liu, you are getting better and better at talking! Since you said so, then you lead the people to fight this battle. What will happen if you lose?" After listening to Sun Chuanting's words, Liu  The general suddenly became excited, raised his fists towards Sun Chuanting, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir! Don't worry, sir, this battle can't be defeated!" "Well, I'm here to guard the food and grass. You can take the people with you.  Go! If you win this battle, I will give you credit!" Sun Chuanting patted General Liu on the shoulder and said to the other generals around him: "Don't be envious.  I will allow each of you to have the opportunity to lead the army, and you will all make a big contribution. Today is the day for you to be granted the title of wife and Yinzi. You go!" The morale of the Ming army suddenly rose, and every participating general was very excited.  Speak to your own confidants and subordinates.  For a moment, the momentum was like a rainbow and the shouts were thunderous.  The rebels were also marching in a hurry. The leader of this group was She Yin. He was ordered by She Chongming to guard Yongning.  Although She Chongming was the Xuanfu envoy of Yongning, he was not in Yongning.  She Yin originally wanted to ambush the Ming army in the mountains opposite, but he did not expect that the Ming army came so quickly and met him here.  "Prince, if we charge forward like this, we probably have little chance of winning!" Fan Hu glanced at She Yin worriedly and said hesitantly.  "The scouts have just reported back. The team on the other side is only 20,000, or at most 30,000. The equipment is also not good. It is not the Ming army we encountered. It may be the vanguard of the Ming army. We need to destroy it.  He taught the people of the Ming Dynasty a lesson!" She Yin's eyes were shining with excitement. He felt that there were warriors behind him and he would definitely win.  When the horse came to General Liu, one of the generals said worriedly: "Old Liu, should we prepare a formation and then pull out the artillery? I'm afraid the casualties will be huge in this fight!" "Old Ma, you  Looking back at our morale, in my opinion, nothing is as important as morale. If we really do what you say, then all we have to do is to rush forward!" He smiled and looked at his old man.  Friends, Liu Shenjiang said with a smile.  Soon both sides could see each other. Liu Shen waved the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "My sons, follow me and charge! There is money in front of me. It's time for me to make money! Follow me."  I'm going to make money!" The Ming army was stunned when they heard his shout, but they quickly responded and shouted: "Let's go make money!" The two armies soon strangled each other.  The gap was seen in the first collision. The Ming army was full of momentum, each fighting for the lead.  They had the upper hand as soon as they fought, and their cooperation was very tacit. Blood and screams were constantly heard in the battle formation.rise.  (To be continued.
