Chapter 48 Sun Chengzong's Courage

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Liaodong was more like a powder barrel, surrounded by torches. If there was a slight movement, the blowing sparks would ignite and explode when attached to the powder barrel!

The current situation can be traced back to the late Ningyuan Bo Li Chengliang.

If Li Chengliang had not been defeated by civil officials in the court when he was guarding Liaodong, he would have lost his power for ten years and was resurrected to return to Liaodong again, his mood would have changed.

One move to raise enemies is the most important thing, which allowed Nurhaci to accumulate the foundation. The chaotic Jianzhou Jurchens were gradually unified by old slaves and qualified to challenge the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong.

besides.

Li Chengliang, who once again left Liaodong, also did something that benefited the Li family but harmed the Ming Dynasty.

Promote local generals in Liaodong.

This directly led to the interests of all parties and the party struggles formed in the courts from the Battle of Sarhu, through the Wanli Dynasty, the Taichang Dynasty, the Tianqi Dynasty, and the Chongzhen Dynasty.

In just over a decade, Jianlu became stronger and stronger, Liaodong generals became stronger, but the Ming Dynasty became weaker and weaker.

The Li family, founded in the first generation, inherited the strong ancestral family, and the Wu family, which made great contributions, constituted three different stages of the Liaodong generals.

This quasi-warlord force relied on the Ming Dynasty, and took advantage of the rebellion against Jiannu, sucked the Ming Dynasty's vitality, and colluded with Jianlu, constantly dragging down the Ming Dynasty.

‘Sun Chengzong, I hope you can keep the words I said to you in your heart.’

Looking at the people leaving, Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the dragon throne, his thoughts floated in front of Liao, "Take the speculative faction of Zu Dashou, I was transferred from Liaodong by me to gradually sort out the situation in front of Liao.

As for the Liao front land controlled by the Ming Dynasty, it can ensure that it is not taken away by Jianlu and ensure the stability of the Shanhaiguan defense line. The rest depends on the deployment to southern Liaoning.

It seems that on Pidao, Liu Xingzuo's command should also dispatch some tiger generals with strong abilities and propositions to start the planning of training in southern Liaoning.'

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.

Strictly speaking, the policy of fighting against Jianlu by Sun Chengzong, who came out of the Tianqi Dynasty to seize Liaodong, undoubtedly indirectly promoted the foundation of Liaodong generals.

But putting aside the perspective of God in history, in such a turbulent and decaying situation, it was Sun Chengzong's policy that helped the Ming Dynasty stabilize the situation in front of Liao.

However, it aggravated the crisis of the Ming Dynasty's finances and nourished the speculative group of Liaodong generals!

Sun Chengzong's ability and loyalty are beyond doubt. It is only affected by historical limitations that the Ming Dynasty failed to make breakthrough progress in front of Liao.

‘This Ming Dynasty is really a rebel everywhere!’

Emperor Chongzhen, who stood up and walked out of the Military Affairs Office, said in his heart: "I don't believe it, and I can't solve these troubles!"

Deep eyes, looking into the distance.

It seemed as if Liaodong, thousands of miles apart, those scenes appeared before Emperor Chongzhen.

...

"Supervisor... If you do this, you will relieve those generals of the military positions. Are you not afraid of any storm in Liaoqian?" Mao Yuanyi looked worried, looked at Sun Chengzong who was busy at the desk and whispered.

"Although Zu Dashou was transferred to the Beijing camp by His Majesty, the Zu family's power in front of Liao is still very strong, especially after marrying the Wu family, the mixed ones..."

"Zhisheng, I understand what you said."

Sun Chengzong, who put down the official letter in his hand, raised his head and looked at Mao Yuanyi and said, "But it was Zu Dashou who was transferred to the Beijing camp by His Majesty, but it also created opportunities for us to gradually sort out the entire Liaodong.

During these days, I asked you to collect secretly. What are the problems in the entire Liao Dynasty? Do you not know what kind of problems exist in your heart?"

"I……"

Mao Yuanyi was stunned and frowned.

How come he didn't know?

It's really not clear before the investigation is conducted.

At this stage, before and after Yuan Chonghuan came to Liao, there were many military towns and military forts, and even many armies, all of which were garrisoned and commanded by the generals of the Zu family and Wu family.

Previously in the territory of Liao.

There are also foreign generals such as Man Gui and Ma Shilong, who are responsible for important positions and guard all parts of Liao in front of Liao to ensure the stability of the entire situation in front of Liao.

But gradually, I don’t know when it will start.

The generals at the main level of Liao, whether they were generals, deputy generals, deputy generals, generals, guerrilla generals, etc., were mostly local generals in Liaodong, or those who were related to their relatives.

As for General Qian, let alone those positions of General Qian.

"The raising of these questions is made clear by His Majesty."

Sun Chengzong stood up, walked slowly forward, and said with a serious expression: "When I was in office in front of Liao, I didn't have any special feelings in my heart.

But……

As I settled in Ningyuan City, I have come into contact with and learned more. If I say that the pre-Liao Dynasty was still the Ming Dynasty, I might be really only the only thing left.

If the country cannot satisfy those arrogant soldiers and generals, will you think of what will happen if you have been with me before in Liaodong?”

"The supervisor, the subordinates will not deny what you did."

Mao Yuanyi stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan just thinks... even if he wants to sort out Liaoqian, should he slow down his pace? If there are really twists and turns.

Just based on the thoughts of the ministers in the court and the forces existing in front of Liao, it is difficult to protect them from the court, and there will be no situation of impeaching you.

Once said…”

"You don't need to worry too much on your side."

Sun Chengzong waved his hand and said, "As long as Your Majesty trusts me for one day, I can sit firmly for one day as the Liaodong governor, and in this way, I can be loyal to the Ming Dynasty for one day.

Speaking of which, part of the reason for the situation caused by Liaodong is that when I left Liaodong, I was caused.

Your Majesty has a very good saying, and I still remember it in my heart to urge myself.

It is not scary to make mistakes. What is scary is that you have no determination to admit your mistakes and correct them. If you know that it is wrong, but take into account your own reputation, will the Ming Dynasty still be saved?"

“…”

Mao Yuanyi had a complicated expression. Looking at Sun Chengzong with a solemn expression, he wanted to say something, but when he spoke, he couldn't say it.

"Okay, don't waste time here. We don't have much time left for us, and we don't have much time left for the Ming Dynasty."
