Sun Chengzong fought against Huangtaiji outside the Guan, and established the defense lines of Daling River, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan, and the aid of the southeast government came from the sea, including artillery, muskets, grain, silver, armor, medicine, etc., which helped a lot.

He also sent an army to fight in turns, 6,000 people participated in the battle (half in two years), the southeast army fought bravely, the style of tenacious, the courage of Yun Chang, the wind of Zhao Zilong, against the Beiyu, they never surrendered!

Ning Yuanjun deeply admired, and the northern captives did not dare to block its front, when the southeast army musketeers dispatched, the northern captives were all guerrilla fights, and would not fight hard/

Now that the sky is thunderbolt, the imperial court is actually going to war against the Southeast Mansion?

Lao Sun almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood!

He didn't dare to show this letter to the generals of the Southeast Army, otherwise there would be chaos in the army, Sun Chengzong knew that those generals were extremely loyal to the Southeast Mansion, once he learned about it, he was afraid that it would be possible to raise troops on the side of the Qing Dynasty!

And there is no shortage of generals in the Ningyuan army who have received their favor and are in the same breath as them, and they will even enter the customs with the southeast army.

According to Sun Chengzong's view, this southeastern army that hangs alone in the north is already terrifying, and the southeast army under the leadership of its commander Yan Changwu has never been defeated once!

The war foreigners, when the Fujian Navy Division fought 1,000 people and 1,000 Hongmaofan, they could not win, and the Southeast Army had fewer people and ships than Hongmaofan, and they were victors in the two major battles.

His views coincide with Wen Tiren, once the war with the southeast mansion starts, half of the southern Ming Dynasty will not be owned by the Ming Dynasty!

It is rare for Yan Changwu to vow never to oppose the Ming Dynasty, and he is about to take a good lead, those Qingliu (in fact, Sun Chengzong is also from Qingliu, but he has done a lot of practice, so he knows how to deal with people) ignores the current situation and treats national affairs as child's play.

After thinking about it, he took the cities to defend them, and he took three hundred cavalry and returned to the imperial capital!

The upper edict is not strong enough, and it is impossible to take care of it without an edict, otherwise once the edict of the court is promulgated, everything will be irretrievable.

From the words of Wen Tiren's letter, I know that he is delaying the army, procrastinating the words, and waiting for Sun Chengzong's reaction.

……

Let's say that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly received an urgent report from TJ in the palace, saying that Inspector Sun returned to the court to ask for a meeting, which made him very strange, Sun Chengzong is an old courtier, don't you know that the general of the army cannot enter Beijing without an edict?

Knowing that he brought three hundred cavalry back, the cavalry stayed outside the city and entered the palace alone, this attitude was very good, and Emperor Chongzhen summoned him!

When the emperor saw it in the side hall, Sun Chengzong first returned to Beijing without an edict to ask for guilt, and asked the emperor to listen to his report before dealing with it.

"Chente is here for Yan Changwu, the deputy chief soldier of Fujian coastal defense, and the dragon and tiger general!" Sun Chengzong got straight to the point, and he didn't say much, so he took out a few account books and presented them to the emperor.

It is the account of the Southeast Prefecture to help suppress the Northern Captives, which records in detail the materials and gold and silver transported by the Southeast Prefecture to the Ningyuan front, worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, every year!

Once the northern captives enter the Kou and the war is tense, the silver will be doubled!

In the past three years, 400,000 taels of silver have been sent to the front line in Ningyuan!

There are 6,000 musketeers stationed in the battle, and these soldiers do not need to be paid by the imperial court!

After Emperor Chongzhen read it, he believed that Sun Chengzong's personality and the account book were true, and listened to Sun Chengzong's performance: "The southeast uncle is humble, and the minister wants to report to the court and commend his service, but he insists on resigning, saying that 'do good deeds without leaving a name', which has the style of a gentleman." He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and swore in front of Mazu Niangniang that he would never oppose the Ming Dynasty, and was willing to donate silver to help suppress it, and his subordinates spared no effort in fighting, and the army that was good at fighting was also! ”

"Do you know that it has 100,000 strong soldiers, millions of people, and thousands of ships (this is the statement that the ministers deliberately intimidate the emperor), and has mastered the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty, and is rich in the world. Emperor Chongzhen asked with a sinking face.

The emperor was very angry in his heart, in the past, you Yan Dashao was just a prestige overseas, but now you have come to this conclusion, you want to peep at my Daming artifact? !

"This person's words are not enough to rely on!" Sun Chengzong argued with reason, and seeing the emperor's disapproving appearance, Sun Chengzong said something that might cause him trouble.

"It's true that Uncle Southeast has a family fortune, but there is one thing that the world can't reach!" Sun Chengzong said.

"What?"

"Is there anyone in the world like him, who gives up his wealth for the use of the country?" Sun Chengzong's words directly hit the hypocrisy of the royal family, nobles, and ministers in the court, you say that you are patriotic, but you are not just talking about empty words, if you want to prove it, take some silver for the imperial court.

Qingliu's group of Diao people didn't have a dime for themselves, but they said that Yan Dashao, who gave the court 400,000 taels of silver, was not patriotic!

Such a ridiculous accusation is incredible.

These words were powerful and moved Emperor Chongzhen, but Sun Chengzong exposed the true colors of the ministers and offended many people.

Seeing that the emperor was moved, Sun Chengzong took the opportunity to analyze that now that the northern captives are not peaceful, the peasants are in turmoil, and the trouble is boiling, how can the imperial court force the southeast mansion to rebel because of an empty word?

“…… A huge ship in the southeast province, about 250,000 taels of silver, is mainly used to deal with the red hair, and the southeast province has to rival the red hair, otherwise the red hair is strong and the ship is sharp, who can stop it? Sun Chengzong reported, and then he gave the emperor a comfort: "Now that the holy monarch is in the court, to pacify the thieves in the north, Your Majesty will work hard, and the world will return to the heart, so why are you afraid of the bandits on that small island?" There is no need for heavenly soldiers to ambush him, and the Southeast Mansion will naturally surrender! ”

Emperor Chongzhen said with great joy: "Sun Qing's family is worthy of being the pillars of the country, and what he said is the strategy of Lao Cheng to hold the country. ”

……

The next day, the ministers entered the court and were all surprised to see Sun Chengzong standing tall.

When the emperor ascended to the palace, the ministers paid homage, Sun Chengzong went out of class, and played Yan Changwu, taking the account book as an example, showing that Yan Changwu had no intention of rebelling, at most he was domineering.

In an instant, his words were like cold water sprinkled into a pot of boiling oil, and the crowd in the hall was surging, and the clear stream turned into a mad dog in seconds, devouring Sun Chengzong!

It doesn't matter who he is, just take it!

One impeached him for returning to Beijing without edict; another scolded him for being a nest of rebellious snakes and rats, and he was also a rebel; Another said that he was guilty of bullying the king, and the Southeast Mansion invested so much money and troops, but he didn't report it, what did he want to do, did he collude together and wanted to do big bad things! Some people demanded that he be held accountable for the crime of letting the northern captives enter the customs, but some people simply said that he believed in religion, and his heart was different, and he should be punished!

……

"Sun Chengzong is a traitor!" One of the advisors shouted hoarsely.

The others excitedly said, "Yes, he is a traitor!" Traitor! ”

In the blink of an eye, Sun Chengzong became the finger of a thousand people, accused of being a traitor, against the party, and useless, which made him feel that the world was hot and cold, so that his heart was as cold as water, and he had nothing to say.

Wen Tiren was secretly glad that he was not on the court, otherwise he would be killed like this, and his body would be incomplete, and it would be difficult to protect the first assistant!

However, there are still wise people in the court, and the old minister Liu Yixiao came out to support Sun Chengzong's façade.

Liu Yixian, born in 1567 A.D., is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi. Late Ming Dynasty political figures, together with Ye Xianggao and Zuo Guangdou, presided over the government as auxiliary ministers, and presided over the four dynasties of Ming Shenzong, Ming Guangzong, Ming Xizong, and Ming Sizong, and the first assistant of the cabinet in the early Xizong Dynasty. Its wings defended Xizong and fought against the eunuch party, which made great contributions to the country.

In the early years of Chongzhen, the Wei Party was defeated and the officials were reinstated, and then the young master, the prince and the prince, the official department Shangshu, and the scholar of the Zhongji Palace.

He is also from a Qingliu background, but after being a political official, he knows that he can't govern the country with his mouth, and the war in the north is supported by Sun Chengzong, and in the south, who in the south can stop Yan Changwu?

If Sun Chengzong falls, it may lead to a rebellion by the Ningyuan army, the northern captives will enter the customs, and the southeast fleet will cut off the Yangtze River, and the consequences will be serious and unimaginable!

"The old minister guarantees his life with his net worth, and Inspector Sun is a loyal minister!" Liu Yixiao said tremblingly.

"Yan Changwu is also a loyal minister!" The whole hall heard the words of this senior who dared to face the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, and it was loud!

The hall was silent for a while!
