Wang Zaijin? Hearing this name, Yuan Chonghuan was obviously stunned, and then fell silent, and Yuan Chonghuan spoke for a long time before he spoke: "Teacher, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Glancing at Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "The emperor's mind is difficult to grasp, and it is estimated that he is also weighing!" ”

Weighing, the meaning of the two words is very profound, did someone recommend Wang Zaijin, or Emperor Chongzhen's own ideas? Sun Chengzong didn't understand it for a while, but Sun Chengzong understood that Wang Zaijin's entry into Beijing represented Emperor Chongzhen's concern about the affairs of Liaodong. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the matter of Liaodong, he and Wang Zaijin's views were different, and it was obvious that Emperor Chongzhen had not thought of which strategy to adopt.

In the palace, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, flipped the fold in his hand expressionlessly, glanced at it a few times, and threw it on the table casually. This is a memorabilia of the ministers who participated in the impeachment of the governor of Liaodong, what kind of embezzlement of military salaries, and discord between the generals and commanders.

Liaodong, these two words are very heavy, and Emperor Chongzhen understands that someone is going to make trouble by taking advantage of the affairs of Liaodong. His vague attitude towards Wei Zhongxian has not touched the elder of Wei Jiage until now, obviously someone can't hold his breath and wants to open the gap from another direction.

Glancing at Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen opened his mouth and asked, "What did Yuan Chonghuan do after entering Beijing?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Yuan Chonghuan went to Sun's Mansion after entering Beijing, and he went to see Sun Chengzong!" Wang Chengen bowed and said.

Sun Chengzong? Is he in the capital? Emperor Chongzhen sat up directly from his chair. In addition to Yuan Chonghuan, there is also Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan's mentor.

Regarding Sun Chengzong, the most intuitive thing about Emperor Chongzhen is the death of Sun Chengzong, in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the Qing army attacked on a large scale, and in November, attacked Gaoyang. Sun Chengzong, who was idle at home, led the whole city to defend the city, but the city was broken and captured, and he hanged himself.

His five sons, six grandsons, two nephews, and eight nephews were killed in the battle, and more than 100 members of the Sun family were killed. Sun Chengzong was seventy-six years old at the time, and when Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he also made a statement, but he didn't even give Sun Chengzong a nickname, which also reflected Emperor Chongzhen's mean and unkind side.

Although there is a lot of controversy about Sun Chengzong, there is basically no controversy about his loyalty, after all, Sun Chengzong's family died too heroically.

Yuan Chonghuan's failure in Liaodong was attributed to Sun Chengzong's failure to formulate policies, but it was not true. After all, Yuan Chonghuan's policy is not the same as Sun Chengzong, for example, Sun Chengzong is very supportive of Mao Wenlong and advocates uniting Mongolia and North Korea.

However, this was not the case with Yuan Chonghuan, and when the Later Jin attacked Korea, he built a city on the Daling River and built his own defense line, which led to the direct direction of the North Korean to the Later Jin.

Mao Wenlong defeated the combined forces of Houjin and Korea, and Yuan Chonghuan directly killed Mao Wenlong, it is difficult not to doubt Yuan Chonghuan's motives.

Korea was annexed to Houjin, and Mao Wenlong was killed, causing Houjin to march westward to conquer Mongolia, and then take a detour to the capital. Yuan Chonghuan operated the Ningjin defense line impermeable, so what? The capital has almost become the racetrack of Houjin.

Yuan Chonghuan once swore to Emperor Chongzhen that he would be in peace for five years, which was also the reason why Emperor Chongzhen strongly supported him, asking for money and people.

Even when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Emperor Chongzhen did not pursue him, and as a result, he became like this. At the expiration of the five-year period, Yuan Chonghuan, who saw that Pingliao was hopeless, had another idea in his heart, that is, to negotiate peace with Houjin.

Once the peace negotiation is successful, it will naturally pacify Liaodong, so as to round his guarantee to Emperor Chongzhen's five-year peace of Liao.

But Yihe and Pingliao, these two concepts are different in Emperor Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen feels that he has been tricked by Yuan Chonghuan. After spending so much energy and so much money, the result was actually a peace? How could Emperor Chongzhen accept it.

In addition to the siege of the capital by the Houjin bypass, Emperor Chongzhen's dissatisfaction with Yuan Chonghuan also reached its peak. Someone in the court participated in the impeachment of Yuan Chonghuan, and turned over the old story of his killing of Mao Wenlong, in a word, when Mao Wenlong was not dead, the Later Jin Dynasty was unable to unify Mongolia at all, nor was it able to make a detour to invade the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen's tolerance for Yuan Chonghuan finally reached the limit, and he was directly imprisoned and then killed.

If Xiong Tingbi's death was a victim of party strife, then Yuan Chonghuan's death was basically done by himself.

You must know that Yuan Chonghuan is the secretary of the Ministry of War, the governor of Liaodong military and politics, and the sword of Shangfang, which can be said to be in power in Liaodong. Emperor Chongzhen emptied the treasury to support Yuan Chonghuan, in order to Yuan Chonghuan to level Liao in five years. In Emperor Chongzhen's view, Pingliao was to destroy Houjin and regain lost territory.

Five years, Emperor Chongzhen can afford to wait, even if the treasury is emptied, as long as Houjin is pacified, it is worth it.

But in fact, five years of Pingliao became a dream bubble, but the money was spent like flowing water, and in the end, Yuan Chonghuan made a peace negotiation to bluff Emperor Chongzhen, and it was strange that Emperor Chongzhen did not kill him.

For Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, Emperor Chongzhen was very clear and knew that the two of them were not a routine. If Sun Chengzong was in Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong would not have eroded like that, after all, when Sun Chengzong was guarding Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong was also very stable.

When the imperial court had no money, Sun Chengzong also saw the situation clearly, and did not talk big and empty, but did practical things.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Guo Xingzhi asked the ministers of the DPRK and China to discuss the issue of Sun Chengzong's stay and stay, and many people impeached Sun Chengzong and said that he risked the army's salary, and Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the ministry, supported Sun Chengzong.

Emperor Tianqi issued an edict to let Sun Chengzong continue to supervise Liaodong, but let Sun Chengzong reduce his military salary. Sun Chengzong had just sent generals to garrison Jinzhou, Xiaolinghe, Songshan, Xingshan, Shitun and other places, expanding by 200 li, deposing You Shilu, Li Bingcheng and other generals, cutting the army by 17,000 people, and saving 680,000 taels.

Under the condition of saving expenses, Sun Chengzong opened a large number of sources in Tuntian, Liaodong, repaired nine large cities and 45 fortresses before and after, recruited and trained 110,000 soldiers and horses, established 12 car battalions, five water battalions, two firearms battalions, and eight forward and stamina battalions, manufactured several million yuan of armor, military equipment, bows, arrows, artillery stones, and other equipment used in warfare, expanded the territory by 400 li, and cultivated 5,000 hectares of tuntian, with an annual income of 150,000 yuan.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse remembered Sun Chengzong's great merits and let his son inherit the Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

Emperor Chongzhen has always been disapproving of Sun Chengzong, the reason is that in the later period, Sun Chengzong saw the slogan of the Donglin Party very clearly, and put forward many negative opinions, but the result was unknown, and Emperor Chongzhen rejected them all.

The most famous is the fourth year of Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong was still in Liaodong at that time, and he did not give up on Emperor Chongzhen.

According to his years of experience in governing Liao, Sun Chengzong wrote a total of 16 things about border affairs, but Emperor Chongzhen did not accept it after seeing the book. Sun Chengzong then lived in Gaoyang City for seven years, and Zhu Youzhen repeatedly called for it, but Sun Chengzong refused all of them.

Since this incident, Sun Chengzong has completely lost confidence in Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court, and as for the final death, for his own reputation and for the kind of persistence in his heart, so the current Emperor Chongzhen has always felt that Sun Chengzong died a desolate and aggrieved death.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen valued Sun Chengzong for another reason, that is, Sun Chengzong could govern the army and train soldiers.

Sun Chengzong's military writings include the Cheying Buckle Answer Co-Edition", which was compiled from the records of his planning to counterattack Liaodong and discussing military issues with his subordinates when he was supervising Jiliao and running the defense of western Liaoning.

The book consists of 108 questions and answers, consisting of four parts: "The General Explanation of the Che Battalion," "The 108 Deductions of the Che Battalion," "The 108 Answers of the Che Battalion," and "The 100 and 8 Sayings of the Che Battalion." Through questions, answers, explanations, diagrams, etc., the methods of organizing the car battalions, the arrangement of the battalion formations, the marching operations, and the logistical support are analyzed and explained in detail. In terms of operational guiding ideology, great importance has been attached to giving play to the role of firearms and the coordinated actions of various arms of the armed forces. For example, "using the car is using fire", "using fire is stacking array". The so-called "use of fire" means to carry forward firepower, and the so-called overlapping array of infantry, cavalry, and artillery are arranged in overlapping configurations, which are coordinated with each other and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Combat formations should also be adapted to local conditions, and various formations such as square, round, curved, straight, and sharp should be used flexibly and flexibly, thus showing people the era of the simultaneous use of firearms and cold weapons, and the rudiments of coordinated operations of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and other arms of the armed forces, which have important historical value in the history of the development of military thought.

"Cheying One Hundred and Eight Answers" is mostly from the hands of Zanhua Lu Shanji, Deputy Chief Military Officer Mao Yuanyi and others. At that time, due to secrecy, it was not possible to publish all of them.

Emperor Chongzhen attaches great importance to this point, and if he wants to train soldiers, he can't do it without a person who can train soldiers.

The first choice in Emperor Chongzhen's heart is Sun Chengzong, no matter what his other ideas are, just a little training, I am afraid that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can compare with him.

With Xu Guangqi developing firearms and Sun Chengzong training soldiers, Emperor Chongzhen felt that it was a very reasonable arrangement.

originally thought that Sun Chengzong was in his hometown, but he didn't expect him to be in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen immediately moved his mind, glanced at Wang Chengen beside him, and directly ordered: "Wang Chengen, Xuan Sun Chengzong enters the palace, you go in person, understand?" ”

"Slave understands!" Wang Chengen agreed, and walked out with people.

Emperor Chongzhen walked back and forth in the main hall, and breathed a deep sigh of relief, Sun Chengzong was suppressed, in fact, there were also reasons for party strife.

As the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong can be said to be a high-ranking and powerful person, and he has a wide range of contacts, and in the era when Wei Zhongxian was in power, Wei Zhongxian was not able to do anything to Sun Chengzong.

At that time, Wei Zhongxian tried to expand his power, and when he saw that Sun Chengzong's merits were very high, he wanted to cling to him, so he sent Liu Yingkun to show Sun Chengzong what he meant. But Sun Chengzong didn't say a word to Liu Yingkun after seeing him, and Wei Zhongxian hated Sun Chengzong because of this.

Wei Zhongxian persecuted the ministers of the DPRK and China, expelled Yang Lian, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others from Beijing, Sun Chengzong was inspecting the Jizhou area, thinking that the emperor might not read the book in person, so he asked to enter the court on the grounds of congratulatory birthday and took the opportunity to impeach Wei Zhongxian. When Wei Guangwei heard about it, he told Wei Zhongxian the news, saying that Sun Chengzong planned to kill Wei Zhongxian on the grounds that the Qing monarch was on the side, so Wei Zhongxian ran to the bed of Emperor Zhu Youxiao, crying and pleading.
