This is Sun Chengzong's character, how much ability he has, how big his temper! is also the reason why he was resigned several times, and it is also the reason why Sun Chengzong was abandoned by Chongzhen, and finally committed suicide without being posthumously reprimanded by Chongzhen.

Two strong people are destined not to get along, especially Chongzhen is a very young and stubborn emperor, Chongzhen, who was only a teenager at the time, is undoubtedly dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong.

"Yes, the power of Houjin is getting bigger and bigger, and except for Taifu, there is no one else in Liaodong who can do it!" Yang Su will also say good things.

"If the emperor asks the old minister to supervise Liaodong, then please give the old minister the right to act at the opportunity, and the governor and the governor cannot be established at the same time!" Sun Chengzong's face remained solemn.

"Of course, Liaodong is the front line of my Ming Dynasty, and all matters related to the military emergency can be decided by Taifu, and you only need to report to me afterwards!" Yang Su immediately agreed.

"The most taboo in army combat is that the main generals have different opinions, and the emperor can't let the eunuchs supervise the army!"

"If the prison army doesn't understand military affairs, indiscriminate command will indeed cause chaos," Yang Su said calmly, "But if you don't have a prison army, you can't do it, I will send five hundred Jinyi guards to follow Taifu to Liaodong, so that they can listen to Taifu's orders, Jinyiwei also has a foundation in Liaodong to find out information for Taifu, Taifu must be able to use it!" ”

Sun Chengzong finally showed a hint of surprise, the emperor's performance today was very different from his previous impression, and he was actually willing to hand over the command of the Jinyi Guard, which was the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong should be asked by Yang Su, Sun Chengzong has been in battle for a long time, of course he attaches great importance to intelligence, and the emperor is willing to give him the command of Jinyiwei, and in exchange he will of course agree.

"There is one more thing for the minister, please ask the emperor to agree!"

"Taifu has requirements, but it doesn't hurt to speak, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk" Yang Su said very well.

"Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and now I have a lot of internal wanderers in the Ming Dynasty, the military expenditure is huge, and the imperial court has levied Liao salary several times, which has a huge impact on the people's livelihood. Moreover, now that the Houjin forces have been established, if the ministers of the two fronts are not sure of victory, they should go to Liaodong to defend the main force, and the main force of the Houjin will not dare to enter the pass and plunder easily. "Sun Chengzong was in ambush in advance!

Although his personality is straight, he has been up and down in the sea for decades, and he is a great Confucian who has read thousands of books and has been enlightened, how can he not be humane, but he is unwilling to bend over!

"Taifu, this is the words of Lao Cheng to hold the country!" Yang Su stroked his palms and couldn't help but sigh, "Taifu's last repair of the old city led to failure, and I later found out that it was all because the governor of Liaodong, Qiu Hejia, changed the date of the division many times, and it was my fault that I didn't notice that Taifu was wronged, and this time Taifu went to Liaodong, and I decided not to set up a governor of Liaodong." ”

"No!" Sun Chengzong was shocked and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, the governor and the superintendent are tied up to contain each other, and it is right." It is an honor for the emperor to trust the minister, but this must not be opened! Besides, there are Tuntian, Ordnance Bureau, and Jiangmen in Liaodong, the situation is complicated, this matter is absolutely not feasible, please take back the emperor's order! ”

Sun Chengzong's categorical refusal made Yang Su even more satisfied. Without a governor, Sun Chengzong became a real and unknown governor of Liaodong, and was in charge of the military and political power of Liaodong. This was the situation at the end of the dynasty when the emperor's control was insufficient, and the local division appeared.

"Don't worry, Taifu, I'm just one example!" Yang Su assured.

"If the emperor refuses to take back his order, then please forgive the old minister for not obeying his order!" Sun Chengzong knelt down again and spoke in a resolute tone.

"Taifu, get up quickly!" Yang Su lifted Sun Chengzong with a touched face, "Then who does the governor of Liaodong think can be competent?" ”

"This..."Sun Chengzong was very embarrassed.

"Today's performance will never be passed on to the ears of outsiders, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" Yang Su continued to ask.

"Please forgive the old minister for overstepping, the minister thinks that Li Banghua is the best to serve as the governor of Liaodong." Sun Chengzong no longer hesitated, because Yang Su was very moved by his trust.

"Chengen, I plan to order Li Banghua to take up his post as governor of Liaodong on the same day!" Yang Su immediately agreed, and began to check Li Banghua's historical materials in his mind.

Only then did he find out that Li Banghua was also a rare talent, this gentleman was outspoken when he served as a speech official, and Wanli suddenly passed down a holy decree requiring that the Zhuangtian given to King Fu must reach 40,000 hectares, but no one dared to protest, and it was Li Banghua who first wrote a letter to protest.

When the military department was reinstated, he rectified the military administration and did a lot of practical things. In the last fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he rose up again, took charge of the affairs of the Southern Metropolitan Procuratorate, set things right, and made the imperial history and law fearful of the heavens and the earth. Finally, after getting the news that Chongzhen was hanged in Beijing, the hanging beam committed suicide.

Yang Su carefully looked at Li Banghua's historical materials, and couldn't cry or laugh! This Master Li has outstanding ability, and he has engaged in a wide range of occupations, being a troll, governor of the region, and in charge of the Ministry of National Defense, and finally committed suicide as secretary of the Southern Commission for Discipline Inspection.

But people gather like like, Li Banghua and Sun Chengzong have a big temper! This so-called temper is not that it is difficult to get along with, but that if he can't get used to it, if he can't follow his wishes, he will either never compromise and fight to the end, and if he can't struggle, then he will take the initiative to resign.

Therefore, this Lord Li has changed more than a dozen positions before and after, and has lived at home for more than 20 years, which is longer than the time he has been an official, which is legendary!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong was extremely grateful, and Yang Su's unconditional trust made his heart heavy. Immediately reciprocate Li "The minister asked the emperor to decree, and the quasi-minister will go to Liaodong tomorrow to take office!" ”

"Why is Taifu so anxious? It's better to take a break in the capital, and it just so happens that I have also prepared a batch of ordnance and handed it over to Taifu. Yang Su was puzzled.

"The emperor doesn't know, according to the old minister's guess, Houjin will be this year as early as possible, but next year later, there will be a big move, if the minister does not take office as soon as possible and prepare, I am afraid that Houjin will invade again." Sun Chengzong's words are not shocking, and he is endless.

"Why did Taifu say this?" Yang Su's eyes lit up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister used to watch the stars at night, the emperor star in the direction of Mongolia was shaking, and the luck of Houjin suddenly increased greatly, and the old minister boldly guessed that it should be the Mongolian Khan Lin Dan Khan who died violently, and no one in Mongolia could fight against Houjin as soon as Lin Dan Khan died, I am afraid that he will raise the ministry to reduce the gold, only in this way will it lead to a great increase in Houjin's luck." Sun Chengzong expressed his guess.

Zhuge Liang once said: For generals, if they don't know astronomy, geography, strange doors, yin and yang, don't look at the formation map, and don't control the troops, they are mediocre.

Sun Chengzong, as a leader in the Ming Dynasty's military, is of course not surprising that he knows the world's major events by stargazing.

"Houjin originally brought 150,000 armor, 100,000 Manchurians, 50,000 Han army banners, and now annexed Mongolia and got 50,000 elite cavalry, not to mention that Houjin was a soldier in the whole country, not to produce, and the army was reckless. All the money is the plundering of my Ming Dynasty, and now that Mongolia is destroyed, Hou Jin can only attack my Ming if he wants to continue to maintain it! Sun Chengzong continued to analyze the situation for Yang Su.

"Taifu thinks that if Houjin attacks my Daming, where will he march from?" Yang Su turned around and ordered Wang Chengen again: "Quickly bring the map!" ”

"The emperor is now that Mongolia is destroyed, and the ministers think that Houjin is most likely going in separate ways, detouring through Mongolia to avoid my Liaodong defense line, and attacking from Hebei!" Sun Chengzong opened the map and pointed to Mongolia and rowed to Hebei on the border of the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Su didn't ask Sun Chengzong what to do! Because there is no way, yes, even if you know that Houjin may enter the army from Hebei, there is no way! The Ming Dynasty had a standing army of several million, but all the officers had become landlords, and the soldiers had become long-term servants.

At present, there are only three and a half armies in the Ming Dynasty that can fight, one is the Guanning Iron Cavalry, but it can't be moved lightly before the Houjin moves to Hebei, because the Houjin goes to Hebei He is only plundering at most, but if the Guanning Iron Cavalry is transferred away, the Houjin takes the opportunity to attack Liaodong, and the result is unimaginable, which is equivalent to letting the Houjin enter the customs in advance!

The second is the bandit army under Hong Chengchou, but now King Gao Yingxiang is with a huge momentum of the seventy-two battalions, and he can't be mobilized.

The third Tianxiong army under Lu Xiangsheng is also suppressing bandits at the moment! And the number is too small, but more than 10,000 people.

The remaining half is the white pole soldier that Qin Liangyu has scrapped and has not replenished.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong dared to assert that the Houjin would march by different routes, because they could grab more things, and the Ming Dynasty had no strength to stop it. can only wait for Houjin to snap up and watch them leave as before!
