Zhu Youxiao said: "Jiannu must be destroyed, but after destroying Jiannu, how to firmly grasp Liaodong in his hands is a big problem." Moreover, I also want to use Liaodong as a base, and then advance to the northeast, so as to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty a little more. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty wants to exterminate the Jiannu clan?" ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I am not such a murderous person. Nurhachi's line must be completely destroyed, and the others can be spared. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "The minister thinks like this, after the destruction of Jiannu, you can take the soldiers of Jianzhou as the vanguard and advance to the northeast, which can not only avoid the possibility of Jianzhou and Hanmin being adjacent to the harm, but also get a fierce army." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "What if you raise a tiger? ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Our army's weapons are far superior to Jiannu, in the past they could wreak havoc in Liaodong, because there is food supply for the Han people in Liaodong, if they are allowed to attack the northeast, as long as the grain is controlled, they want to rebel, first of all, they must ask their stomachs whether to agree or not." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't imagine that Sun Chengzong, who had always been serious, would say such a vulgar truth, and said with a smile: "As for the Mongols, they are now stumped by our wool and other items, so they shouldn't worry too much." ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head and said: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, Meng Yuan was driven out of the Central Plains by my Ming Dynasty, and during this time, he harassed the border areas many times, and even held the Ming Emperor hostage, Your Majesty should not take it lightly." In order for the Mongols to really be tamed, the minister thought that two things must be done: first, our army's combat power was far stronger than that of the Mongols, and it had the ability to enter the desert to kill them; Second, the Mongols can't even eat without us. Only when these two conditions are met can they be considered that they can no longer be troubled. ”

Zhu Youxiao also said solemnly: "What Elder Ge said is reasonable, but I am too gullible to believe in the power of the economy. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "For the Mongols, we should use two means: reward those who cooperate with us, and attack those who oppose us. Lin Dan Khan is not as appealing as before, and we happen to be supporting the forces that oppose him among the Mongols, and as long as they split into two or more forces, it will be easy to deal with. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Master Sun has worked hard in the south for two years, and he should have taken a good rest, but I feel that the Mongols are always a hidden danger, and the situation in the north after the establishment of slaves must be controlled. Therefore, I have to work hard to help Master Sun solve this big problem. ”

Sun Chengzong owed: "The minister is loyal to the emperor, it is his duty, and he should not work hard." Does Your Majesty want the ministers to pass through Liaodong? ”

Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "After passing through Liaodong, it is complicated and difficult, so let's leave it to Wang Zaijin to do it." And Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Ji Liao, is old and serious, and I can rest assured. I plan to take Sun Shi as the military governor of Zongli Xuan, Yamato, Shanxi and Shaanxi, so that there are important ministers on the nine sides, and I don't have to worry about it. ”

The scope of this governor's jurisdiction is much larger than that of Wang Xiangqian's Jiliao governor, and Sun Chengzong naturally has nothing to dissatisfaction with. Zhu Youxiao said: "The abandonment of the internal guard and the replacement of the guards must be completed within a few years, this is the first aspect to deal with the Mongols. Give them a slap in the face and let them know the difference in strength with us, and then give them a piece of candy to let them know that it is good to follow us, which should make the Mongols less harassing. ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Barbarians are like this, afraid of power but not virtuous. Only by subduing them and then giving them a little favor will they be quiet. The minister must carry out His Majesty's two-handed policy well, so that Mongolia will not be harmed. ”

On the same day, the emperor issued an edict and ordered Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department, to be the military governor of Shaanxi Province, Xuanda Shanxi, and took office on the same day.

At this time, the 1st and 5th Divisions of Southern Liaoning, after receiving the order to transfer troops from the Ministry of War, the generals of Southern Liaoning exploded.

Zhang Zongling scolded: "Now that Jiannu has shrunk to Liaoshen, the old nest is in danger, don't take the opportunity to destroy them in one fell swoop, but what kind of round war do you want to engage in, what kind of military department is the secretary of this Sun Chuanting, and what bullshit order is given." ”

Wang Zuomin said: "If Jiannu is destroyed, we can release Nanshan and return to the field." Although it is not exciting, the tranquility of Liaodong is more important than anything else. The military department engaged in a round war, could it be that it was to fight the Mongols? ”

As soon as Zhang Zongling heard about the Mongols, he immediately came to his senses, and said: "If it is to fight the Mongols, then it is a good thing to engage in round warfare, Sun Shangshu is far-sighted, which is really admirable." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Zhang Zongling, you are really a good material to be a traitor. It shouldn't have been you who attacked Sun Shangshu just now. ”

Zhang Zongling smiled embarrassedly: "As long as there is a battle, it is a good book." ”

Lu Xiangsheng knocked on the table and said: "Okay, it is the emperor's intention to rotate battles, and then a very important thing is to transfer some officers from the army to participate in the study of the Jingshi Lecture Martial Arts Hall." On weekdays, everyone knows which of their subordinates are flexible and have certain command skills, and this time they are all sent to the lecture hall, which is equivalent to giving them a background. ”

Zhang Zongling said: "We can't go again, we can only watch them go to the son of heaven." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Why can't you go, this time, except for the commanders of each division, other officers at all levels can go, as long as you can't go too much at a time, you can't go after graduating from the first phase and then change to the second phase." ”

Zhang Zongling was overjoyed and said: "Then I will go too, the first phase is definitely better than the second phase." ”

Lu Xiangsheng asked: "You are now the brigade commander, can you rest assured that you will go and hand it over to others?" ”

Zhang Zongling said with a smile: "With the division commander here, what is there to worry about, my brigade deputy has long wanted to seize power, and my trip is just what he wants." ”

Li Delin shouted: "I don't mean to seize power, I'm going to lecture in the martial arts, you are the brigade commander, watch here." ”

Zhang Zongling pretended to be angry and said: "I am the brigade commander, I order you to lead the whole brigade and let me go to the martial arts hall." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Anyway, the two of you can only go one at a time, as for who goes, it's not up to me." ”

Zhang Zongling said with a flattering face: "Brother Delin, you think let my brother go to the martial arts hall first, and my brother will let your sister-in-law tell you a good family matter, how about it?" ”

Li Delin said with a face full of grievances: "Speech must count, I want a literate female student." ”

Zhang Zongling agreed, and Lu Xiangsheng said: "The women's school has not been established yet, where are the female students?" But there is a literate palace maid, who is a little older, but she looks good, do you want it? ”

Li Delin was overjoyed and said: "Of course, my mother said that the older lady will be heartbroken." But will the palace maid marry us big-headed soldiers? ”
