Chapter 63 Daming Zhuliang Sun Chengzong (Asking for a monthly ticket collection)

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

"Mr. Sun Chengzong of Gaoyang gave me an excerpt, suggesting that I vigorously rectify the Beijing camp, and said that only the Beijing camp can strengthen the capital in order to be foolproof, and I feel that what Mr. Sun said is very true.

Although Mr. Sun is old, he can still worry about him in the people, I am very moved!" Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

When the ministers heard the emperor mention Sun Chengzong, they were all uneasy.

Today, the emperor suddenly talked about Sun Chengzong, did he want to reactivate the highly respected Sun Chengzong?

According to Sun Chengzong's qualifications, none of the ministers present can compare, but they are the emperors of the Apocalypse Dynasty and the important ministers of the elders of the three dynasties.

If he returns to the court, it is really unreasonable not to be the first assistant, if Sun Chengzong is the first assistant, where will Huang Liji go?

Huang Liji arched his hand and said: "Mr. Sun is almost old, and he can still share the worries of the saint and the court, and the minister really admires him."

At the age of the old gentleman, he is at home and cares for his grandchildren, which is really enviable!"

Guo Yunhou said: "If the old minister is at the age of Mr. Sun, he will be like an old gentleman, go back to his hometown to cultivate the fields and study, and leisurely Nanshan, wouldn't it be beautiful!"

The ministers in the back also echoed the voice.

Zhu Youzhen laughed secretly in his heart, these two people said that Sun Chengzong was old and should not return to the court, and the major affairs of the court were still something that young people in their fifties should worry about.

Zhu Youzhen said: "The cabinet and the ministers are responsible for state affairs, and I also have a number, but if there is a respected old minister at the helm, the burden on your shoulders will be lightened a little, and I really can't bear the ministers to sleep at night!"

"With the Holy Monarch on top, it is right for the ministers to serve the country, and they will not feel tired at all!" Huang Liji hurriedly replied.

"The words of the elder of Huang Ge are really the voice of the ministers and others!"

"What Huang Ge Lao said is very true, the saint is the person who is in my Ming Dynasty!"

"The minister agrees with Huang Ge Lao's words!"

The rest of the people spoke up.

Zhu Youzhen frowned and groaned, and Huang Liji looked at him with a blank look.

After a while, Zhu Youzhen said: "Since Zhu Qing thinks that he can do it, I have nothing to say.

It's just a pity that Mr. Sun has a heart to serve the country, and I really can't help it, after all, he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and his loyalty is commendable!"

Everyone on the field secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Huang Liji saluted: "The Holy One can issue a decree to reward Mr. Sun, and those who have aspirations among his children and grandchildren can also be gracious to the official, so that Mr. Sun will be grateful to the Holy One!"

Zhu Youzhen said: "Even if Mr. Sun doesn't fold, I will be gracious, I just think that Mr. Sun is idle in the field, it's a pity." ”

The ministers were silent, it seemed that the emperor still did not give up the idea of wanting Sun Chengzong to enter the cabinet, several people glanced at each other, and instantly reached a consensus that Sun Chengzong could not be allowed to come back no matter what.

Zhu Youzhen turned his words around, frowned, and said: "The previous Demon Emperor Taiji actually led his troops to the capital, although the demon clan retreated, but the people in the capital were still panicking.

The safety of the capital is related to the society of the country, and the demon clan is so rampant, could it be that the Jiliao Governor is powerless to control the army?"

Huang Liji heard the song and knew the elegance, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Wang Zaijin is the Ji Liao Governor, and his sex is cowardly!" (Note: In history, it was Yuan Chonghuan Ji Liao Governor, and now Wang Zaijin replaces him.) )

Jiliao is the barrier of the Beijing Division, and it is necessary to choose an important minister to supervise the army and the people. In this way, Jingshi can be reassured!"

"Then in Qing's opinion, who can take on this important responsibility?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Mr. Sun Chengzong once supervised Liaodong, and the military and civilians dared not disagree, and the ministers recommended him to serve!"

"Seconded by the Minister"

"The old minister seconded the proposal"

"Seconded by the Minister"

Zhu Youzhen was noncommittal, and sighed: How to deal with it? After all, he is a member of the imperial court. ”

"How can such a person who is a vegetarian in a dead position steal a high position and not do anything?

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said, "Zhuqing, stand down, I'm tired." ”

The ministers saluted and took their leave.

......

Sun Chengzong (1563-1638), the name Zhisheng, the name Kaiyang, was a native of Gaoyang County, Baoding Prefecture (now Baoding City, Hebei Province).

He was not only an outstanding military strategist, a loyal patriot, and a national hero in the late Ming Dynasty, but also an excellent educator, scholar, and poet.

He was a teacher of Zhu Youxiao of Ming Xi Sect,

In the case of successive defeats in the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty and the critical border defense situation, Sun Chengzong replaced Wang Zaijin as the Jiliao Governor.

He built the Guanningjin defense line, commanded an army of 110,000, recovered more than 400 miles of lost territory, and selected and trained a group of civil and military generals such as Ma Shilong and Yuan Chonghuan.

Sun Chengzong also built nine big cities, more than 40 small castles, more than 5,000 hectares of tuntian, resettled nearly one million war refugees, forced Nurhachi to retreat 700 miles, and made outstanding achievements, but was later squeezed out by Wei Zhongxian and resigned and returned to his hometown.

In the autumn of the second year of Chongzhen in history, Huang Taiji, the commander of the Houjin soldiers, bypassed the Guanning defense line and entered the Great Wall, and the Beijing division was in an emergency again.

For the public, Sun Chengzong was appointed by Emperor Chongzhen to guard the Beijing division and control the reinforcements from all walks of life.

Sun Chengzong ignored the fatigue and inspected the inner and outer cities of Beijing overnight to arrange defenses. The next day, the emperor changed the order of Sun Chengzong to guard Tongzhou.

Sun Chengzong and Mao Yuanyi led 28 cavalry, regardless of the enemy troops outside the city, rushed out of Dongbianmen, and entered Tongzhou to defend against the enemy.

He recovered the four towns of Yongping, Luanzhou, Qian'an, and Zunhua that were left to hold after Huang Taiji's retreat, and cleared the Houjin armed forces in the pass, which was known as the "Zunyong Great Victory" in history.

In the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), the Qing army attacked Gaoyang, Sun Chengzong led the people and their families to defend the city, and hanged himself after the city was broken.

In the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty (1644), he was posthumously presented with the title of "Wenzhong";

A few days later, Sun Chengzong entered Beijing and came to the Qianqing Palace, and after Zhu Youzhen learned about it, he immediately summoned him.

For this famous loyal minister in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen admired it from the bottom of his heart, resisted the martyrdom of foreign races, and fought to the end knowing that he would die, which is the national integrity and the backbone of this nation.

Sun Chengzong wanted to make a big salute, but Zhu Youzhen hurriedly got up to stop him, but Sun Chengzong still insisted on bowing once, and then sat down on the brocade bench brought by Wang Chengen.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "I originally wanted to wait for Mr. Sun to rest for a night before summoning me, but I am an impatient, and I ask Mr. Sun to forgive me, this journey has been hard!"

"When the saint summons the old minister, he will do it for the affairs of the state, so why do you have to work hard! Although the minister has long teeth, his body is still strong, and he can serve the court for a few more years!"

Sun Chengzong's voice is like a Hong Zhong, full of confidence, when he was young, he walked all over the Daming border pass, and practiced a good figure, although he was sixty-five years old, but he did not look like an old dragon bell at all.

"I am very happy to see that Mr. Sun is as strong as ever! I have summoned Mr. Sun this time, but I have a heavy responsibility to entrust to you!" Zhu Youzhen said gently.

Sun Chengzong stood up and arched his hand: "The saint has some trust, although he can give orders, the old minister still has some ability, especially he is very familiar with the affairs of the nine sides, I don't know where His Majesty wants to send the old minister?!"

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said, "Mr. Sun, please take a seat." I know that Mr. is well aware of side affairs, so I want to hand over the post of Jiliao Governor to Mr., I don't know what Mr. wants?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, and said: "There are heavy troops stationed in the Xuanda front-line imperial court, and Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei are both generals who have been stationed at the border for a long time, don't worry."

The demon clan has been strong in recent years, and some time ago it was even outside the capital, it seems that there should be a problem with the Ningjin line in Shanhaiguan. Could it be that Your Majesty is asking your ministers to suppress these arrogant soldiers?"

Zhu Youzhen nodded approvingly and said: "What Mr. Sun said is very true! This time, after the Golden Demon Clan entered the customs and went directly to the capital, there was no wind all the way, so there is no problem in the Jinzhou area?

Sun Chengzong said: "The saint sees that the demon clan is really a big trouble for my court, and the first line of Jinzhou and Ningzhou is my Ming barrier, if it is not a person who absolutely trusts, sooner or later it will be counterattacked!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "I know the importance of Ji Liao, so I entrusted Ji Liao to Mr.

At present, Xuanda and other places can barely be maintained, and the top priority at the moment is to suppress the chaos that is gradually emerging in various parts of the Central Plains.

Sun Chengzong arched his hand and said: "The ministers of the Holy Lord dare not agree, and the ministers think that the demon clan is the henchman of the imperial court!"

As for the homeless, most of them are just loose cultivators without spiritual weapons, and they only need to be used by a heavy minister, and the homeless people are not enough to suffer.

Zhu Youzhen said: According to the later history, you know that the last to destroy the Ming Dynasty was the homeless people you didn't put in your eyes, and the demon clan just picked up a leak.

If it weren't for Li Zicheng and others who completely disrupted the heart of the Ming Dynasty, according to the strength of the demon clan, it would not be enough to occupy the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, of course, these things would not be able to be said.

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "The Houjin Demon Clan is like a hungry wolf, crawling in the grass, and if you look for an opportunity, you will bite off a piece of meat from Da Ming.

To deal with the hungry wolf, only by beating it painfully and crippling it first, so that it is temporarily unable to bite again, and after Daming recovers from his injuries, can he completely kill it.

Let's not talk about these first, this time Mr. served as the Jiliao Governor, I hope that the old man will completely rectify the border army, strictly enforce military discipline, ban empty salaries, and eliminate the old and weak.

The most important thing is that the generals of the border army must unconditionally obey the orders of the court, and Mr. Wang has trained a strong army that dares to fight and can fight, and is invincible.

After the situation is stabilized, Mr. will vigorously raise troops in the fields and resume the duties of the guard, and I will arrange for Mr. to cooperate with him, although he will let it go.

Sir does not have to be afraid of court rumors, I will protect the courtiers who are brave enough to do things.

I will send 1,000 cavalry from the Beijing camp as the old gentleman's standard battalion, and go to the post with him to strengthen the prestige of the imperial court!"

Sun Chengzong responded, the monarch and the ministers talked again, and Sun Chengzong said goodbye and went back to the inn to rest.

......

"With Sun Chengzong sitting in Jiliao, the capital is safe and worry-free! Now I have to clean up the illegal profiteers in the city!" Zhu Youzhen said secretly.
