In October of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting, who had just come back for a few months, looked at the newspapers in various places, which could be regarded as making up for the current situation today.

Originally, Sun Chuanting was still indifferent, but the more he looked at this newspaper, the more worried he became, and his brows gradually tightened.

Although the newspaper has been accumulated for a long time, most of the content is quite simple, which is nothing more than the officials and soldiers in a certain place making trouble, and the officials and troops who were defeated by the thieves.

However, in this series of grays, there is an unusual touch of color.

This dish is the Shandong army led by Wang Zheng, this person and the army under his command Sun Chuanting have never heard of it before, as if it appeared out of thin air during the period when he was imprisoned.

Sun Chuanting checked carefully, and the pen in Wang Zheng's hand was all based on solid evidence and serious military exploits, and he immediately felt that this person was not ordinary.

What disappointed Sun Chuanting was that although the Shandong army won almost all of them great victories and defeated the Liukou countless times, it still could not make any changes to the current situation, and the Ming Dynasty was still in an irrepressible decline.

Speaking of which, there are some reasons why Emperor Chongzhen is stubborn.

Many times this Shandong general army named Wang Zheng defeated the thieves, and when he was about to pursue, Chongzhen ordered him to withdraw his troops immediately and return, as well as the battle of Songjin in Liaodong last year, when Sun Chuanting was still in prison.

When he saw that the Shandong army was ordered to go north, Sun Chuanting was indeed excited, and in the end, Wang Zheng really lived up to his expectations and killed Azig and Kong Youde, two famous kings.

If in the past, the Shandong army only became famous near Shandong, then the last battle of Songjin was the moment when Wang Zheng was truly famous all over the world.

At this time, Sun Chuanting sighed again.

Because the situation in Liaodong had just improved, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to recall the Shandong army and continue to let Hong Chengchou lead the army to a decisive battle.

But then things were unsatisfactory, and the Songjin battle situation of the Shandong Army, which was lost, was almost reversed at a rapid speed.

After Wang Zheng led his troops to withdraw from Jinzhou City, the Manchu Qing Dorobelle Duoduo immediately led the Qing army to continue the siege, and Dolgon stayed in Songshan to command, and later heard that Huang Taiji was in Shengjing and sent the support of the whole country's young people.

But these are things of the past, and now Songshan and Jinzhou have fallen, and compared to history, they are nothing more than a few months late.

In addition, Zu Dashou, who surrendered in history, I don't know if it was because of Wang Zheng and the Shandong Army, he didn't surrender, but he fought until the last moment and finally died under Duoduo's knife.

The last Liaodong Iron Army fought to the last man in Jinzhou City, and ended up with the destruction of the whole army.

The deputy general of Songshan dedicated the city, Cao Bianjiao angrily scolded the Tartars and was unwilling to surrender, and was killed on the spot by Dolgon, as for the main general Hong Chengchou, he just heard that he was arrested, and now I don't know what the result is.

However, Sun Chuanting thinks that he knows Hong Hengjiu very well, and his future ending is nothing more than dying for the country's loyalty, which is already good.

In addition, what has really attracted attention in recent years is the killing of the governor Yang Sichang and Xiangyang and King Fu.

Although Emperor Chongzhen said that he was saddened by the deaths of King Fu and King Xiang, his reaction was not as heavy as Yang Sichang's courtiers, and Sun Chuanting could understand this reason with just a little thought.

Although Yang Sichang left a deficit of 140,000 additional troops and more than 2 million taels of salary to the Ming Dynasty after his death, and the increasingly fierce thieves in the Central Plains were not resolved, he did his best.

Yang Sichang is the last cabinet minister who does not pay attention to fame and integrity, can carry the black pot for the emperor, and even goes out to supervise the thief in person.

As soon as he died, the rest of the ministers were basically greedy for life and afraid of death, and they did nothing in the party struggle in the court all day long.

Anyway, this is the world of your Zhu family, and your own vassal kings are not in a hurry, they would rather die with their treasures than subsidize military salaries, so why are we in a hurry as courtiers?

Chongzhen, who has a flawed personality, can't find a courtier who is willing to take the blame, and since then he has become timid, and many decrees with good ideas are often hesitant and difficult to implement.

Therefore, Chongzhen hid his face and cried bitterly after hearing the news that Yang Sichang committed suicide in fear of crime, and his reaction was greater than that of the two princes who died, perhaps thinking that Yang Sichang was the last minister of the humerus, and even wrote a sacrifice for him in person.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's behavior caused an uproar among those courtiers who hated Yang Sichang to the core, and it made their hearts for the current court and the emperor drop to the freezing point.

Yang Sichang does not belong to Donglin, so he has a very bad reputation in Shilin, and the emperor actually values such "ministers" so much, I have to say that they are extremely disappointed by these "clear streams".

It can be said that the death of Yang Sichang was the beginning of the real rebirth of the thief, and the death of Sun Chuanting in history laid the foundation for the defeat of the Ming Dynasty.

Now, Li Chuang is crisscrossing the Central Plains, most of Henan and Shaanxi have fallen into the hands of the Chuang army, and Zhang Xianzhong is calling himself the king of Daxi in Huguang, and he is taking advantage of the situation to attack cities everywhere.

Under the oppression of the three salaries, the people are already complaining, and the situation in the world is becoming more and more obvious with the approach of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, and Sun Chuanting also knows that he is undoubtedly the last hope of the Ming Dynasty.

Judging from the news obtained from these Tang newspapers, the king of Shandong repeatedly defeated the breaking army, and there are even rumors that Li Zicheng is afraid of Wang Zheng.

Therefore, the Shandong Army is obviously the most important soldier and horse to be pulled over since Sun Chuanting was appointed governor of Shaanxi, followed by the arrogant and arrogant but repeatedly defeated Left Army.

If Wang Zheng is pulled over, there is almost nothing to worry about east of the Central Plains, and Zuo Liangyu will not dare to openly confront the imperial court, and he will also echo it.

At that time, he trained the Qin army in Shaanxi, led the Qin army and the Shandong army to cooperate with the left army and other other officers and troops to attack in all directions, and the Central Plains thieves may be peaceful.

This is Daming's last hope, Sun Chuanting's abacus is very loud, but he soon knows that this is just a fantasy.

The last Tang newspaper on the table made Sun Chuanting's idea of winning over Wang Zheng disappear.

Not long ago, after Wang Zheng's request for a change of title was rejected by Chongzhen, he brazenly raised troops and launched a military admonition, which had already captured Cangzhou at this time and could advance into Gyeonggi at any time.

Sun Chuanting could see that Wang Zheng had obviously prepared for this, perhaps the title was a factor, but it was mainly an excuse to raise troops in a grand manner

After learning the news, Sun Chuanting's first thought was that he couldn't figure it out.

Because in the past, Wang Zheng led the Shandong army to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, and there was no disobedience, but why did he do such a rebellious and contrary to the rules of the monarch and ministers at such a time of life and death.

Thinking of this, Sun Chuanting felt even more worried, regardless of the obstruction of his subordinate Qin army generals, after a few days of repair, he decided to go to Cangzhou to take a look at the Shandong army that shocked the world.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also wanted to question Wang Zheng, a descendant concubine, in person, and ask him what he intended to do when he was in such a critical situation.
