"Your Majesty, the minister and Shaofu Li have discussed the affairs of the people of Liaoxi, and Jiannu cannot be exterminated for a while, so if those people return to Liaoxi, I am afraid that they will either be killed by Jiannu or taken captive. ".2."

Facing Emperor Tianqi's question, Sun Chengzong was the first to speak, bowed to Tianqi, and replied in a deep voice, "Therefore, Li Shaofu and his ministers feel that they should be resettled elsewhere, and they will return to their hometowns after the war outside the customs is stable. ”

"Those people in western Liaoning have nearly a million people, and there is not much idle land in Gyeonggi, so it is impossible to settle in the nearby Gyeonggi area, so it is indispensable to rush!"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, a sad look appeared on his face, it was a huge project to resettle so many people, not only costly but also quite cumbersome.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that North Korea and Xiaoliuqiu can settle some of the people."

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was worried about the affairs of those refugees, Li Hongyu bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said in an orderly manner, "Your Majesty, North Korea is separated from Liaodong by a river, which is not only suitable for the life of the people of western Liaoxi but also can enhance our strength in Korea, and Xiaoliuqiu is sparsely populated, and if you want to make it stable for a long time, you must vigorously emigrate to it." ”

"North Korea is okay, but is Xiaoliuqiu a little far away?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed slightly, and after a deep sigh, he asked, after all, Liaoxi is thousands of miles away from Xiaoliuqiu, not to mention the long distance, and the living habits are very different.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are seeing the seams, and if they can make more people go to Xiaoliuqiu, there will be more."

Li Hongyu looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse a little helplessly, "Now the Hongmaoyi of the West covet the prosperity and wealth of my Ming Dynasty, and they can't settle down on the coast of the Ming Dynasty, so they started the idea of Xiaoliuqiu Island. ”

"In that case, according to your wishes, if those people want to go to Xiaoliuqiu, let them move there."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that Li Hongyu had spent a lot of energy and effort for overseas trade and the affairs of Hongmaoyi, so he nodded and agreed.

Li Hongyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, with the willingness of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, then he could start to arrange the relocation of Liaoxi refugees to Korea and Xiaoliuqiu, and all he could do now was to move as many people as possible to these two places.

At this moment, no one knows that North Korea and Xiaoliuqiu are the safest places in the Ming Dynasty, if those people in Liaoxi did not choose these two places, then they will inevitably be displaced again after the arrival of the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

When Li Hongyu and Sun Chengzong left the Qianqing Palace, it was already early in the morning, so they went to the Wenyuan Pavilion to rest, and the two had not yet returned home, but tomorrow morning they had to discuss the war in Liaoxi with the Chinese military officials, which was really very hard.

"Brother Sun, the results of Jingcha are about to be announced, it seems that this capital will inevitably have another storm!"

When they arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, Li Hongyu and Sun Chengzong did not rest immediately, but came to the pavilion in the courtyard, and after sitting on the stone bench, Li Hongyu couldn't help but sigh.

Although Li Hongyu is from western Liaoning, he has also heard about the affairs of the officialdom in the capital, and because the Donglin Party presides over the Jingcha, the radical faction in the Donglin Party is making every effort to uproot the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang in the DPRK this time, so that it can no longer compete with the Donglin Party.

Not only that, but even those centrist officials in the DPRK and China have also been affected, and these officials have always been the targets of various factions in party struggles, but now the Donglin Party wants to deal a heavy blow to those centrist officials who refuse to be attached, and the grim situation in the officialdom in Beijing can be seen.

"Lord Fu once persuaded them, but the effect was very small, and they didn't want to think that the emperor would let a certain party in the court dominate?"

Sun Chengzong immediately smiled bitterly when he heard this, in fact, there were contradictions within the Donglin Party because of the difference in foreign policies, and there were endless arguments between the radicals and the moderates.

However, because with the support of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the Donglin Party is now a dominant party in the court, which makes the radical faction of the Donglin Party gain the upper hand in the dispute with the moderates, and implement a radical foreign strategy to destroy the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang to take sole control of the court.

Sun Chengzong is naturally a moderate in the Donglin Party, he is not very interested in the matter of party contention, wants to make some achievements, and does not approve of the extermination of the three parties of Qichu and Zhejiang.

Obviously, no emperor wants to see the emergence of a powerful faction in the court that is enough to affect the stability of the imperial power, but it is a pity that the officials of the radical faction of the Donglin Party do not care, thinking that what they are doing is a loyal and patriotic act, and it is for the Ming Dynasty to sweep away the treacherous villains in the court.

In fact, those officials of the radical faction of the Donglin Party still bullied the Emperor of the Apocalypse and was relatively easy to control, thinking that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had to rely on them to control the situation, otherwise how could they dare to do such a taboo thing, didn't they know the importance of the balance of factions between the DPRK and China?

This is also why the Wanli Emperor period of the party struggle, but no one side has ever been dominant, from the beginning of the north-south dispute to the later Qichu Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party dispute, everything was under the control of the Wanli Emperor.

"Brother Sun, the younger brother really doesn't want to go home now, how can the little brother do the things of Jingcha!"

Li Hongyu knew that Sun Chengzong was also helpless about the radical faction of the Donglin Party, so he looked up at the bright moon in the sky and said lightly.

The people of the Chu Party will definitely visit him at home and ask Li Hongyu to find a way to help the Chu Party in this Jingcha, but the person standing behind the Donglin Party in Jingcha now is the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and how can Li Hongyu spoil the matter of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which makes him very embarrassed.

"Brother Xian, didn't you say that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, since they are in a high position in the temple, they have to face those troubles."

Sun Chengzong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and opened his mouth to comfort Li Hongyu, he knew that Li Hongyu was now distressed about this matter, who made Li Hongyu now the hope of the Chu Party, and at the same time it was also a trump card that the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang relied on, and when the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang fell into a crisis, they would definitely ask Li Hongyu for help.

"Alas!" Li Hongyu sighed and said helplessly, "The country is in an eventful season, but the officials in the court are fighting to the death, which is really suffocating!" ”

"What Brother Xian said is very true, this is also one of the reasons why Brother Fool wants to go to Guanwai, I really don't want to see the officialdom in the capital go on like this." Sun Chengzong nodded sympathetically when he heard this, he was quite tired of the party struggle in the court but helpless, who made him an important official of the Donglin Party, and had to contribute to the interests of the Donglin Party.

"Brother Sun, although Jiannu was defeated in Shimen Mountain this time, it was only a small injury, Nurhachi took the initiative to retreat, and it is bound to recover in time."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a little dull, Li Hongyu changed the topic and said with pity, "If I have 30,000 forbidden troops, I will definitely leave Nurhachi in Shimen Mountain, and Nurhachi will fall apart as soon as he dies, and their four major beylers are not fuel-efficient lamps." ”

"Nurhachi has suffered a big loss this time, and he never imagined that the Jinzhou reinforcements would be our official army in Liaoxi, I am afraid that this will make him unforgettable for the rest of his life."

Sun Chengzong knew that Li Hongyu was unwilling, so he comforted with a smile, to be honest, he also hoped that Li Hongyu would capture and kill Nurhachi in Shimen Mountain, so that Houjin would fall and scatter, and the Ming Dynasty could take advantage of the internal struggle for power in Houjin to send troops to Liaodong and defeat Houjin in one fell swoop.

"Brother Sun, for Houjin, the younger brother feels that offense is the best defense, and he can't let him live in peace." Li Hongyu smiled helplessly, the thing he was most concerned about now was Houjin, so he said after a deep sigh.

Daming's idea of operating the Liaoxi Corridor is not wrong, but if he only guards the Liaoxi Corridor in the future and does not attack Houjin, then the Liaoxi Corridor will become an expensive ornament for Daming, and Houjin can rest assured that he will be in Liaodong.

"Rest assured, after the training of the soldiers and horses, the foolish brother will wave his army to attack Liaodong and exterminate Jiannu." Sun Chengzong knew that Li Hongyu had always advocated attack, otherwise there would be no Battle of Tieling, the Battle of Jinzhou and the Battle of Shimenshan, so he nodded in response, he definitely did not want to be trapped in the Western Liaoning Corridor, and his ultimate goal was to exterminate Jiannu and recover Eastern Liao.

Because it was late, Li Hongyu and Sun Chengzong exchanged pleasantries for a while and then went back to their rooms to rest, and the next morning the two went to the Qianqing Palace to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Also coming to meet the Emperor of the Apocalypse this time were Ye Xianggao's civil and military ministers in the court, discussing matters related to the war situation in western Liaoning, and studying the trend of the war in western Liaoxi in the next step.

With the great victory in the Battle of Shimen, the officials of the court and the central government generally believed that the time had come to exterminate the Houjin, and the Ming army in western Liaoxi should recapture Liaodong in one fell swoop with the aftermath of the great victory, without giving the Houjin a chance to breathe.

Li Hongyu and Sun Chengzong felt very helpless about this, Ye Xianggao and others naturally didn't know the complexity of the battle situation in Liaoxi when they were in the capital, and they didn't know that Li Hongyu had already bet on all the hole cards in his hand in Shimen Mountain, not to mention attacking now, even Guangning City needed the Mongols to assist in defending.

When the two of them told Ye Xianggao about the current situation in Liaoxi, all the civil and military ministers were taken aback, and they thought that Li Hongyu could lead the army to recover Liaodong.

Not only that, Sun Chengzong put forward the proposal to operate the West Liaoning Corridor and build the Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou defense line, thinking that this is the best choice for the Ming Dynasty in western Liaoning.

This shocked Ye Xianggao and others, but he didn't expect to give up after recovering Guangning, not only could he not attack Houjin, but also had to shrink his forces in the Liaoxi Corridor and move the people of Liaoxi to other places, which was really unexpected.

Although they were extremely surprised by Sun Chengzong's proposal, if they took into account Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen's previous defeats, Ye Xianggao realized that the situation in Liaoxi was not as optimistic as they imagined, and the Ming army in Liaoxi was not as warlike as they thought.

Therefore, after Li Hongyu and Sun Chengzong's analysis of the war situation outside the Guan, Ye Xiang's senior officials unanimously agreed with the strategic policy of shrinking the western Liaoning corridor and building the "Guanjin Defense Line", and Sun Chengzong, who was born in the Donglin Party, also became the new Liaodong Economic Strategy as he wished, and Wang Zaijin was transferred back to the capital to reinstate his post.

In any case, in Li Hongyu's opinion, the battle outside the gate has finally come to an end, and he will have to face the headache of Jingcha next, which is no easier than the battle of Shimen Mountain.
