said that it was an old man, in fact, Sun Chengzong's face looked very young, and sometimes he was even mistaken for a middle-aged man in his early forties, according to the average life expectancy of the Ming Dynasty at this time, Sun Chengzong's age had far exceeded the average life expectancy of people at that time, and his body was excellent, only the sideburns were a little gray, his figure was tall, and his back was straight, unlike ordinary people at that time who were easy to hunch over when they were old, his age, experience, and the official position of being a cabinet scholar and the governor of Jiliao, and the elegance and wisdom he always shows, all of which are convincing.

It can be said that the successive strategies, except for Yang Hao and Yuan Yingtai, who were still strict in the discipline and law of the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, the rest of the strategies or governors were far inferior to Sun Chengzong in terms of prestige and actual power.

After Sun Chengzong changed into an official robe, he went out of the back house, his governor's mansion is in the Guancheng of Shanhaiguan, the Guancheng is not big, the successive Liaodong Jingluo was originally in Liaoyang or Guangning, from the first two terms, Liaodong Jingluo can only be in the Shanhaiguan office, and the jurisdiction of the area is from the entire Liaodong to only a corner of Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong is to ask the superintendent, Jiliao is within its jurisdiction, and in order to unify the power, under the insistence of Sun Chengzong, the imperial court will no longer set up the Jiliao governor during his tenure, so as not to hinder, Soon after Sun Chengzong took office, he drove away the original king of Jinglu in Jin, drove him to Nanjing to take up his idle post, and later appointed Yan Mingtai as the governor of Liaodong and ordered him to take office in Ningyuan, but Yan Mingtai opposed the restoration of Ningyuan, and Sun Chengzong managed to drive away Yan Mingtai and recommended Zhang Fengyi to take over as governor.

Soon after Zhang Fengyi took office, Sun Chengzong ordered him to Ningyuan, but although this person did not oppose Xiuning Yuancheng, but he was a timid and not responsible guts rat, Sun Chengzong ordered him to Ningyuan, Zhang Fengyi thought that he was pushed to death, Zhang Fengyi was dissatisfied, and began to try to impeach Sun Chengzong's very trusted general soldier Ma Shilong, Zhang Fengyi colluded with Wan Youfu and impeached Xie Xuelong in the matter, which caused a great momentum, as a result, Sun Chengzong was angry and counterattacked, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse supported all the practices of the master, so that Zu Dashou continued to repair Ningyuan, And sent a large number of generals and officers and soldiers to Juehua Island defense, formed Sun Chengzong's so-called Juehua and Ningyuan each other's horns, Ningyuan was attacked, Juehua attacked, Juehua was attacked, Ningyuan rescued, after the garrison of Juehua Island and hoarded a large amount of food and silver and other materials, the repair of Ningyuan City was also nearing the end, and Sun Chengzong's prestige was also pushed to the peak at this moment.

Soon after entering the signing room and sitting down, there was a sound of the rubbing of the nail leaves outside, and then a group of generals walked into the room and bowed in front of Sun Chengzong's case.

"The last general, Ma Shilong, has seen Lord Cabinet."

"The last general, Zu Dashou, has seen Lord Cabinet."

There are more than a dozen generals on the side of Ma Shilong and Zu Dashou, such as Lu Ruhai and Jin Guan and other Liaoxi generals, and several brothers and nephews of the ancestral family are also there, but they are not qualified to be called by name, and when these two generals salute, the rest of the generals can only salute from afar.

Sun Chengzong had a smile on his face, arched his hand in reply, and then said, "Cangyuan, Fuyu, two of you, please get up." ”

"Lord Xie Gebu."

The two generals straightened up together.

Ma Shilong's word Cangyuan, Zu Dashou's word Fuyu, the relationship between the two and Sun Chengzong is very close, although their name for Sun Chengzong is still very official, Sun Chengzong's name for the two of them is already commensurate with the word.

"Fuyu," Sun Chengzong said very happily: "The approval of the Ministry of War has come down, and from now on, you will be a general of the national dynasty." ”

Hearing this, Zu Dashou hurriedly knelt down and saluted again, and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Pavilion!" ”

Zu Dashou had actually gotten the news from the mouth of the ancestral family of Jingshi, but he still made a very happy expression.

Zu Dashou's ancestors and fathers are all general soldiers, and Zu Dashou has always known that he will be able to be the general soldier in the future, but his official career is more difficult, not that the ancestral family is weak, since Liaodong and Liaozhong have failed many times, the Li family and other Liaozhen generals have completely declined, and the ancestral family based in the Ningyuan area has been affected by very limited, the ancestors of the ancestral family have been operating in Ningyuan for 200 years, and his grandfather is the general soldier who guarded Ningyuan, and his father is also the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong. The reason is very simple, that is, he has led his troops to escape in several important battles.

The most important thing is in the battle of Guangning Shaling, Zu Dashou led his family and personal soldiers to run away when the situation was not good on the battlefield, and sold 60,000 friendly troops cleanly, although he will not have a good end if he stays, but a general has no heart to fight to the death, and will only retain his strength, and naturally he will not get people's trust and respect.

However, the strength of the ancestral family is already an unavoidable reality, even if it is as strong as Sun Chengzong, he can only choose to continue to appoint Zu Dashou, and put on a posture of trust and dependence, and softens and woos the Zu family and Zu Dashou.

With Sun Chengzong's status and ability, coupled with the ability to actually deal with military and political affairs, Zu Dashou also respects the old Sun Tou from the heart, of course, this respect is still based on interests first, just like when Sun Chengzong went to Liaodong, Sun Chengzong fought across the king after Jin to gain the respect and support of these military leaders, before the situation is clear, the ancestral family and Zu Dashou will not rashly bet on Sun Chengzong's side.

So far, the original choice has paid off, with Zu Dashou's experience of repeated defeats and repeated defeats and escapes, he can be awarded the post of general, which is already regarded as Sun Chengzong's hand-to-hand promotion, otherwise, there is no actual military achievement, even if the ancestral family is now the first general in Liaodong, Zu Dashou can still only do his guerrilla.

After Zu Dashou thanked him, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "Fuyu doesn't need to be polite, this promotion is also for reward." Most of Ningyuan City has been repaired, and Fuyu has made great contributions. ”

"The last general is ashamed." Zu Dashou said very sincerely: "The last general didn't know that Ning Yuan was important, and he delayed for a long time, since he was taught by the Cabinet Minister, he knew that Ning Yuan had to defend to the death, and now he repaired the city and prepared the Hongyi cannon. ”

"Not bad." Sun Chengzong said with a straight face: "If Ning Yuan is there, then Juehua is there, and if Juehua is there, then Ning Yuan will be able to guard." Ning Yuan and Juehua are all there, so there is no need to face the captives to be sharp, the people of the Jingshi are at ease, the emperor is safe, and the people are safe, and then Tianjin, Denglai, Dongjiang and North Korea are contained, and the captives dare not move lightly, then the Liao affairs can finally be done. ”

Sun Chengzong often said this, everyone listened to it, but no one dared to slack off, and all the soldiers present immediately clasped their fists and promised.

"Ning Yuan has almost repaired." Sun Chengzong pondered: "But the later the project is, the more careful we must be about the quality, and we can't make a mess at this time." Also, the general who presides over Ningyuan's garrison will also be decided......"

Sun Chengzong swept his gaze to the generals in front of him, Ma Shilong can't do it, he is the chief soldier of Liaodong, responsible for the overall situation, Sun Chengzong also expects Ma Shilong to train an elite team in these two years, and then win a few battles, so as to block the mouths of those who are in the middle of the court, and build Tuntian, it is better not to call Ma Shilong to go.

As for Zu Dashou, his qualifications and strength are enough, but the newly promoted general, presiding over an important place like Ningyuan, there will definitely be people in the court who will jump out to oppose it, Sun Chengzong knows that this generation is powerful, and he can't do things, but his ability to find fault is first-class, and he will cause trouble for this matter, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Just as he was pondering, Zu Dashou and Ma Shilong and the others exchanged glances, Zu Dashou stepped forward, bowed down and said, "Lord Pavilion, the sentry cavalry has been moving to the area of the Thirteen Mountains many times recently, and the control of the captive cavalry is getting weaker and weaker. The last general has already assembled his troops and horses, and if the cabinet lord can send a few more generals to cooperate, open the road, and transport supplies up the mountain before the main force of the captive cavalry returns to the division, it should not be too risky. ”

"Good!" Sun Chengzong said happily: "This matter is also very important, a few days ago, the emperor personally wrote Zhu Approving it, and he was still asking about this matter." ”

Zu Dashou said: "It is necessary to have a general who presides over the overall situation, and there will be a candidate at the end, but I don't dare to say it." ”

Sun Chengzong said: "Why don't you dare to say? ”

Of course, Zu Dashou just said casually, and said with a smile at the moment: "The last general recommended General Man, the deputy general of the Chinese army of the Cabinet Lord, to go to Ningyuan to take up his post and build the city and Tuntian, and to ask a general like General Man, who is not afraid of hard work and can be a trivial general, to preside over it, and to assist the Thirteen Mountains, General Man Gui has hundreds of elite soldiers, with cavalry, it is enough to sweep away those small number of captives." ”

Ma Shilong immediately said: "General Man is the Chinese army of the cabinet lord, and he is responsible for a lot of things, General Zu, you are really Meng Lang's boldness." ”

Sun Chengzong is also a little hesitant, although Man Gui is a Mongolian, he is also very brave, there are many soldiers under his command, the strength is very strong, and it is also an important force that Sun Chengzong puts around, but Ning Yuancheng is also at a critical moment, and now it is even more necessary to form soldiers and horses to help the Thirteen Mountains, Zu Dashou's invitation is indeed bold, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the time to let Man Gui go out.

Sun Chengzong thought about it again and said, "Since it is suitable, why should you care if it is the Chinese army!" ”

After a while, all the generals in the house got out of the way, and a short, stout Mongolian man with a rude breath strode in.

Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Man Gui, send you to Ningyuan to garrison, preside over the defense and Tuntian, before that, you lead your troops to aid the Thirteen Mountains, are you willing?" ”

Man Gui frowned slightly and said, "My lord, I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave me here." ”

Sun Chengzong scolded with a smile: "The old man is useless, how did you come here before, there are many generals in Liaozhen, can't you pick out a qualified Chinese army?" ”
