Chapter 161: The Hero of the Troubled Times

Seeing Chongzhen's reaction, Sun Chengzong sighed secretly. He knew that the cheap student had not taken this advice to heart.

In fact, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan also have some teacher-student friendship, but this relationship is very weak. To be precise, when he was in charge of Liaodong, although he promoted Yuan Chonghuan, he also suppressed Yuan Chonghuan for a period of time. Sun Chengzong was worried that Yuan Chonghuan was dissatisfied and would not listen to the advice.

A month ago, he sent a letter to Liaodong, explaining the benefits and disadvantages, hoping that Yuan Chonghuan would consider it in many ways and maintain a good relationship with Mao Wenlong and Zhao Shujiao. Then it is to speed up the tuntian, boost commerce and trade, on the one hand, increase the tax in Liaodong, on the other hand, it can also reduce the burden for the imperial court, after all, the imperial court should not only care about Liaodong, but also the northwest and Sichuan Shu.

It's a pity that Yuan Chonghuan still went his own way, and this time he even wrote to ask for part of the military salary.

From then on, Sun Chengzong knew that his advice was useless, and Yuan Chonghuan did not listen to it at all. For the sake of today's plan, I can only let Zhu Youzhen write a letter and knock it out, so that he can be restrained. But it was still too late, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver had already been sent to Liaodong.

According to Sun Chengzong's meaning, these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver don't need to be given, and Yuan Chonghuan is short of money, and he can't even solve the vacancy of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

Yuan Chonghuan didn't come to ask for money this time, he came to test it, he wanted to see the degree of favor and bottom line of Emperor Zhu Youzhen, which was related to the next plan.

Chongzhen was too indulgent to Yuan Chonghuan, and the final result would inevitably lead to Yuan Chonghuan's pampering and arrogance. In addition, this person has a strong desire for power and is selfish, so I am afraid that something will happen.

Chongzhen didn't want to dwell too much on Yuan Chonghuan's affairs, and he didn't understand why the Manchu Dynasty didn't seem to like Yuan Chonghuan, was it because Yuan Chonghuan was the person he Zhu You's pick? The young Zhu Youzhen also has stubbornness in his heart, the more others question, the more they want the supporter Yuan Chonghuan to do something big in Liaodong, as long as Yuan Chonghuan can win a big victory in Liaodong, see what else those people can say.

Chongzhen deliberately brushed aside the topic of Yuan Chonghuan and led the matter to the situation in Shaanxi.

"Teacher, the student intends to promote Tiemo to be a general, hoping that he can stay in northern Shaanxi for a while longer, what do you think?"

"Iron ink?" Sun Chengzong held the teacup, thought for a moment, and then shook his head. He knows this so-called student too well, and he is afraid that he sees that Tiemo is a person with outstanding ability, and intends to let Tiemo stay in northern Shaanxi until the people are wiped out.

There was no need to think about it, Sun Chengzong rejected the idea, and the reason why he thought about it was just to think about how to talk back to Zhu Youzhen.

The key to civil unrest is not in the use of soldiers, but in disaster relief, the court does not have enough money and food, as long as there are hungry people, then civil unrest will emerge in endlessly. Therefore, even if Tiemo can fight well and let him stay in northern Shaanxi, it will be useless.

What's more, it is impossible for Tiemo to stay in northern Shaanxi all the time, and northern Jin needs him even more. In his early years, Sun Chengzong used to travel all over the country, surveying the nine sides, and saw the situation in northern Jin more clearly than Chongzhen.

Now there is nothing to do in northern Jin for the time being, and it all depends on iron and ink to control the Hanhai grassland. If the Tumut and Khalkha tribes want to go south to fight the grass valley, they must first pass through the Hanhai grassland. Now the Mongols on the Hanhai grassland can only recognize Tiemo, and if Tiemo is not there, these Mongols may attack Xuanfu and Datong Mansion in the blink of an eye.

Transferring Tiemo to northern Shaanxi for a long time is almost equivalent to self-destruction of the Great Wall, if this matter reaches Xuanfu, the first person to disagree is probably the chief soldier Hou Shilu.

"Your Majesty, it is not impossible to promote him to be a general with his meritorious work of iron and ink. However, it may not be appropriate to transfer him to be stationed in northern Shaanxi. ”

"What's wrong?" Chongzhen raised his eyebrows a little unconvinced.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, the situation in northern Jin is quite complicated, don't look at the Sunit Department and the Naiman Department to my Ming Dynasty, that's just an appearance. The real reason is that with Tiemo sitting in Zhangbei and subduing these two departments, with him, the Hanhai Grassland can become a natural barrier for my Ming Dynasty. Now that the other side has just stabilized, at this time, the iron ink is transferred away, so all the previous efforts have not been in vain? ”

Listening to Sun Chengzong's explanation, Chongzhen felt very uncomfortable, those Mongolians were afraid of iron ink, but they were not afraid of him, the Ming Emperor?

I used to like Tiemo a lot, but now, I don't know why, I can't like it anymore, and even a little disgusted, "Those hateful Mongols..... In that case, let Tiemo continue to stay in Zhangbei....."

Chongzhen was obviously a little unhappy, and Sun Chengzong and Zhang Yan had to leave under the pretext.

......

Outside the Wenhua Palace, looking at the crescent moon hanging on the branches, Sun Chengzong's heart was full of confusion and sorrow.

Zhang Yan was clever and persuaded in a low voice: "Old Sun, you don't need to be bored, Your Majesty is still young, and some things have to be done slowly." ”

"Hey, the old minister doesn't know, but the old minister is worried that there is not enough time..... If the old minister is not more than forty years old, why worry..... Your Majesty is still young, how many years can the old minister accompany him? ”

The wind was slightly cool, the laurel tree swayed gently, and the shadows were dancing on the ground.

Looking at Sun Chengzong's back, Zhang Yan suddenly felt a desolation jump in her heart. At this moment, the old man seemed to be even older.....

yes, he's getting older, how many years can he last? During the reign of the first emperor, he followed the teachings, and then supervised Liaodong and stabilized the situation in Liaodong for the first emperor. After the death of the first emperor and the new emperor ascended the throne, he returned to the capital.

It's a pity that the young Zhu Youzhen is not young, as an emperor, he is very young, but as a student, he is a little older. Some of Sun Chengzong's words and opinions, the emperor's brother couldn't listen to them at all.

"Why did Sun Lao say this, you should be old and strong, Your Majesty will want you to help you a lot in the future!"

"I hope so" Sun Chengzong shook his head with a wry smile, took two steps forward, stopped and said softly: "Niangniang, you have time to persuade Your Majesty more, now I can't stand the toss." ”

"Tie Mo, this person..... The old man did an understanding, and at a young age, he won the Hanhai Grassland in less than two years. This son, full of determination, knows how to make good use of people, can be described as a capable minister who governs the world, a hero in troubled times, everything, depends on how the court uses it. ”

"Your Majesty is young and vigorous, forge ahead, and it should be the time to employ people!"

Zhang Yandai frowned, chased after him quite puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Since Elder Sun values this person so much, why did he say that to His Majesty before?" ”

Zhang Yan doesn't know much about government affairs, but she still knows a little about the emperor's brother Zhu Youzhen. Sun Chengzong's words before clearly said that the Mongols were only afraid of iron and ink, not the Ming Emperor Chongzhen. With the temperament of the emperor's younger brother Zhu Youzhen, it is estimated that he has begun to be a little annoyed with Tiemo.

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and said lightly: "If the old minister doesn't say that, how can Your Majesty be bent on throwing iron ink in Zhangbei?" Hey, this is also a helpless move, at least, so far, with Tiemo in Zhangbei, Jinbei will be too peaceful. If Your Majesty really wants to reuse iron and ink, transfer him to northern Shaanxi or Liaodong....."

Sun Chengzong didn't say the latter words, but Zhang Yan still understood.

Tie Mo is unruly, and he finally made a piece of turf, His Majesty asked him to go somewhere else to fight hard, can he listen? If it doesn't work, it will be completely stiff with the imperial court, and at that time, the Ming Dynasty will not only have to face the Liaodong military rebellion, but also the northern Jin rebellion.

Xuanfu and Datong are not bitter cold places in eastern Liaodong, if there are military disasters here for many years, Jingshi Shuntianfu will suffer.
