The fiasco of Liaodong caused an uproar in the Ming Dynasty, especially after Wei Zhongxian lifted the lid on Yuan Yingtai, the government and the opposition were shaken.

The people of the Ming Dynasty never thought that the loyal ministers who were dedicated to the country would also be so harmful. Letting a scholar who can only read four books and five classics go to Liaodong, where wars are frequent, will only make the country more and more passive.

The call for a governor to be transferred from the government and the opposition to the army is getting louder and louder, and the cabinet people are indeed gray-haired.

Knowing soldiers is not what they civilian officials are good at, and where do they go to find a civilian official who knows soldiers for a while. The current Xiong Tingbi still has a certain ability, at least he temporarily blocked the Jurchens on the front line of Ningjin, and did not let the Jurchens' soldiers go straight to Shanhaiguan.

However, the Ming Dynasty has been blinded by the Heavenly Empire, and they are very dissatisfied with the imperial court's passive defense on the front line of Liaodong Ningjin. Even the little emperor Tianqi was not satisfied with the war in Liaodong, you must know that the annual military salary in Liaodong alone is as high as 4 million taels of silver.

With so much money, even if you smash it with silver, you can smash the Jurchens to death. However, Liaodong is still defeated repeatedly, and now the entire Liaodong is already Jurchen, and the army of the imperial court can only defend the line of Ningjin in Liaoxi.

This made the young and vigorous Emperor of the Apocalypse how could he bear it, so he asked the cabinet to come up with an official who could be the governor of Liaodong to recover Liaodong. Shoufu Ye Xianggao could only bring all the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter.

Shoufu Ye Xianggao said to the other ministers: "Long live if we want to discuss a candidate who can recover Liaodong, let's talk about it!" As he spoke, the room fell silent.

Wei Guangwei said: "Xiong Tingbi is not bad, at least he did not continue to lose the land of Liaodong. Why don't you give him a decree and let him recover Liaodong? ”

"It's not right, it's not right!" Zhu Guozuo immediately retorted: "Although Xiong Tingbi has more than enough to defend the city, he is not enterprising enough. There is no way to recover Liaodong at all, and it is better to use Governor Wang Huazhen with him! ”

"Wang Huazhen can't do it either, he and Xiong Tingbi fled without a fight in the Battle of Liaoyang, Long Live Lord has a very bad impression of them, not at all!" Ye Xianggao said.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Ye Xianggao said, "How is Emperor Sun Chengzong?" His words made everyone's eyes shine, yes! How did you forget this old man? This is the emperor's teacher, the emperor's teacher. The qualifications and prestige can suppress the proud soldiers of Liaozhen, and he is also the most trusted person in Long Live, so there must be no problem for him to supervise Liaodong.

It's just that Zhu Guozuo said that he was a little worried about Sun Chengzong's age, after all, the old man was old, and he didn't know if he could stand the bitter cold of Liaodong.

Tianqi Zhu Youxiao had a very good impression of Sun Chengzong, and he also trusted him very much, and put all the power of Liaodong in the hands of Sun Chengzong. He also gave the Son of Heaven the sword the right to cut first and then play the civil and military affairs of the three grades.

In Ningyuan City, Liaozhen, Sun Chengzong sat opposite a dark and thin middle-aged man. Sun Chengzong said: "Elemental! What do you think about recovering Liaodong? ”

"Overseer!" The man said respectfully: "Now the old slave has achieved great things, although he suffered heavy losses in the battle of Hunhe. But it didn't hurt its roots, and Jiannu still had the strength to fight. However, there are very few people in our Liaodong Army who can withstand a battle, so the students think that they should defend the city as the main thing, and the field battle as the supplement. It is necessary to kill and injure a large number of Jiannu in the defense of the city, and then win in a field battle. ”

The elements coincided with the old man's opinion, and the old man was planning to go to the court. Push the Ningjin defense line eastward to the area of the Daling River, and build a large number of castles here. That is, you can defend the city, and you can raise troops in the fields. In this way, it only takes a few years to repair the castle to Shengjing, and then the recovery of Liaodong is just around the corner, haha! Sun Chengzong laughed out loud after speaking.

The man said with some concern: "The cost of building such a castle must be not small. I don't know if there will be any objections in the Asari, in case it ......," he said, and listened to it.

"Humph!!" Sun Chengzong snorted coldly after hearing this, and said, "The one who opposes it is the eunuch party!" What do those eunuchs know? The imperial court has been patient for a few years for the time being, and it will definitely get a solid Liaodong in the future, so why not do it? Only the eunuchs are blind and can't see the form clearly! Elements don't have to worry, this old man will definitely do it! ”

In the Imperial Palace of the capital, Zhu Youxiao was struggling to dig a piece of wood. In the past few days, he has been full of energy and tirelessly making chairs.

Just a few days ago, a chair he made was bought at a high price of 300 taels, which made Zhu Youxiao happy for several days.

Although he had no concept of silver, he also knew that 300 taels was not a small amount, so the carpenter worked very hard these days.

When he stopped what he was doing and took the towel handed over by the little eunuch to sweat, he noticed that Wei Zhongxian didn't know when he came, so he was standing there waiting for him.

He walked over with a smile and said, "Wei Daban is here, but there is something important?" ”

"Your Majesty! Master Sun of Liaodong handed over the fold, saying that he would increase his salary by 2 million taels of silver every year. Wei Zhongxian found that Tianqi was in a good mood and said cautiously.

When Zhu Youxiao heard that Liaodong wanted silver again, his face couldn't help but change. He silently opened the fold and looked at it carefully, and after a long while, he said, "Master Sun is not easy!" It's hard for him to come up with such a method. Although the cost is larger, it is still possible to recover Liaodong! ”

Hearing the emperor say this, Wei Zhongxian's face instantly turned bitter. "Hooray! There is no silver in the household department, and the salary has been increased last year, and it can't be added again this year! Now Daming is all up to your internal money, and there can be no mistakes! ”

"Hey! Let's allocate another 1 million taels to the teacher! It's not easy for the teacher, and the teacher will figure out the rest. I'll work a little harder, let's make a few more chairs! Zhu Youxiao said worriedly.

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Wei Zhongxian's face became bitter again. Who would dare to sell the chairs made by the dignified emperor! It was all bought by several of their big eunuchs in turn, so the more the emperor did, the more they paid.

Wei Zhongxian was even more bitter in his heart: how could the emperor use ordinary wood to make chairs, either the red sandalwood of the southern countries or the huanghuali of Qiongzhou. The timber itself is priceless, and 300 taels is not enough for a journey.

No matter how difficult it was for them to get money for Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong's mighty cause of defeat in Liaodong officially began. It was he who kept building the fort and used up the last bit of Daming's family foundation.

He handed over the task of collecting labor to his proud disciple Yuan Chonghuan, yes, it was the ruthless county commander. They built a fort in Liaodong and vowed to build the castle until Shengjing.

Zhang Dou has been busy recently, and recently the Han people in Liaodong heard that there was a Changxing army on Changsheng Island. Able to protect the Han people from enslavement by the Jurchens, these cornered Han people fled to Changsheng Island with their families.

Although the Jurchens carried out a very brutal repression of the fleeing Han Chinese, they still could not prevent the Han people from fleeing. These fleeing young men ran to the beach, picked up a piece of wood and jumped into the sea, hoping to swim to Changsheng Island.

But they ignore the weather, and many people are frozen to death in the icy waters. Among them, many lucky people escaped to the island, and this situation was alleviated when Zhang Dou sent bird boats to the north and south of Xinkou to meet the Han people to land on the island.

The merchants also played to their strengths, and they heard that the general of the island was very fond of taking in Han Chinese, and they often brought Han Chinese to the island. Without exception, these people have been treated as Zhang Dou's friends and have received relatively low taxes.

In May alone, Changsheng Island received more than 5,000 Liao people, most of whom were young and strong. They all fled alone, and the Jurchens kept killing the Han people who dared to flee, but they still couldn't stop the Han people from fleeing.

Zhang Dou's Changxing army is also expanding rapidly, and has now reached a scale of 3,000 people. Zhang Dou believed that as long as he could train these people, he would definitely be able to defend Immortal Island.

This month was the most tense period for Zhang Dou, for fear of attracting the attention of the Jurchens, and sent a large army to encircle and suppress him. Fortunately, the Jurchens didn't look down on the island at all, and they were busy recovering.

The battle of Hunhe defeated one-third of the Jurchens' armor soldiers, although the Jurchens still had the strength to fight. But they had to stop their expansion and start recuperating.

And they kept going north to capture the Jurchens to replenish their lost Dingkou. These Shengnuzhen are some ethnic minorities living in the north, and their folk customs are fierce, even more barbaric, and difficult to manage.

Therefore, the Jurchens also had to adjust these new populations to allow them to integrate into the Jurchen robbery family.

Due to the rapid growth of the population on Changsheng Island, the food shortage is also getting bigger and bigger. Although Zhang Dou has invested all his income in buying grain, there is still a big gap. If this continues, as long as it enters August in 2 months, Changsheng Island will run out of food.

In order to raise enough grain and grass, Zhang Dou resolutely embarked on a sea ship to Shandong.
