What did Wang Zaijin say to Sun Chengzong?

Others are far away and naturally can't hear clearly. Seeing that Sun Chengzong's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he didn't say a word, they all speculated wildly in their hearts, but none of them dared to ask each other.

But Zhu Youzhen was next to the two, but he happened to hear it clearly.

It turned out that what Wang Zaijin said was: "Brother Kaiyang, this can only be said to you alone." The border army can't fight, but it's very good at escaping, and killing one or two can't stop it at all; Moreover, once the defeat is defeated and flees, even those who oversee the war will take the lead in escaping!

"Do you think I'm really just trying to build a strong city to strengthen the city's defenses? Definitely! If the army has no fighting spirit, no matter how many cities are built, it will be useless! In fact, this heavy city, on the surface, makes the defenders feel that the city is strong and can be garrisoned with confidence; In fact, the defenders were put to death, and even if the soldiers on the heavy city escaped from the battle, they could only die in front of the old city! Only in this way will they be able to defend the city with all their hearts. In addition to this, no matter where the city is built, the border army will always have a way to retreat, and it will definitely be defeated! ”

These words were like a sledgehammer, hitting Zhu Youzhen's heart fiercely.

It turned out that the army of the Ming Dynasty was such a group of miscreants, and they had to make people * to a dead end before they were willing to pick up weapons to resist!

It turned out that the land of Liaodong was completely lost under their repeated concessions!

Although Wang Zaijin is scheming and painstaking, he can use such a cruel strategy, and the price is too high!

But to be honest, Wang Zaijin's plan, Zhu Youzhen is not very cold. Because he knew very well that a few years later, the Qing army repeatedly entered the customs and invaded the Central Plains, and did not take the road of Shanhaiguan at all, but made a detour to Jizhou, and even as far as Xuanhua and Datong. No matter how strong Shanhaiguan is, it is also a Maginot Line, and it cannot play the role of repelling the enemy at all.

Besides, after building a heavy city, the defenders really have no way to retreat? They have one last trick: surrender! A few years later, that's what Wu Sangui did!

As for the strategy of "soothing the captives" that Wang Zaijin said later, Zhu Youzhen was even less interested in listening to it. In fact, his plan was similar to that of Yan Mingtai, the governor of Jiliao, which was to use a large amount of money and grain as bait to buy off the Mongol tribes and let the Mongols attack the Jurchens, so that the Ming Dynasty could reap the benefits of the fishermen. The only difference is that Wang Zaijin wants to take care of the Khalkha Ministry, while Yan Mingtai's business focuses on the Duoyan Ministry.

However, the facts have already given Yan Mingtai a resounding slap in the face, and the Duoyan Department rebelled blatantly, almost captured Zunhua, and has declared his "big plan" completely bankrupt. And Wang Zaijin still wants to repeat Yan Mingtai's mistakes, so how good can the end be?

As a person who crossed over, Zhu Youzhen knew very well in his heart that although the Mongols had also been bullied by the Jurchens, when facing the common big cake of the Central Plains, they were completely on the same hill and hit it off. Now, they are just doing what they do, just collecting money and not doing anything. But a few years later, in addition to its own Eight Banners, the Qing Army also formed the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Army Eight Banners. At that time, the Mongols were willing to be the eagle dogs of the Jurchens, showing their fierce fangs, entering the customs with the Qing army, frantically burning and looting. From the Mongols' point of view, this was naturally much more comfortable than fighting to the death with the Jurchens!

After listening to Wang Zaijin's strategy, Sun Chengzong's face turned blue and white for a while, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Just as everyone was looking at each other, he suddenly turned to Zhu Youzhen and said, "Your Highness, what do you think of the strategy of these two?" ”

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, Zhu Youzhen's head buzzed, and he almost peed his pants in fright.

Before it was crossed, this product was a pure ** silk, and I had never done anything to show my face. Like the speeches and dances organized by the school, others are eager to see it, just thinking about the scenery on stage. And Zhu Youzhen's classmates avoided it, for fear of embarrassment.

At this time, Sun Chengzong suddenly asked him to speak. On such an extremely serious occasion, it is a national event that is related to the life and death of tens of millions of people, how dare this thing open his mouth casually?

Everyone saw that His Royal Highness the King of Letters was stammering, sweating profusely, although he didn't dare to say anything on his face, he laughed in his heart, secretly thinking that this prince was really a straw bag, except for eating, sleeping and playing with women, nothing else.

Only Qi Meifeng looked at Zhu Youzhen anxiously, and motioned for him to speak boldly with encouraging eyes.

Qi Meifeng's gaze gave Zhu Youzhen great strength. He settled down a little, thinking that he was not ** now, but the prince under one person and above ten thousand! Even if the donkey's lips are not the right horse's mouth, no one dares to laugh at them, so what is there to be afraid of? In front of beautiful women, you can't save face!

Thinking of this, the thing coughed, got up and shook his head and said, "This... Yes! This king thinks that if you want to defeat the Jurchens, you may not be able to defend the city alone. No matter how well you defend the city, at most people don't come to attack the city, can you still defend people to death? As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves! Now the Jurchens are just thinking about us, just guarding it like this, how can we keep such a big place? After a long time, there will always be times when you can't hold on! ”

"Your Highness said it well!" Man Gui suddenly shouted loudly, which startled Zhu Youzhen.

Sun Chengzong glared at Man Gui and said, "Your Highness hasn't finished speaking, what are you making a fuss about?" Your Highness, since you are the best policy, how should you calm the Liao? ”

"As the saying goes, the best defense is offense. We can't always wait for others to attack, we should take the initiative to beat the Jurchens! But now in the field, we are not the opponents of the Jurchens, the main thing is that the cavalry is too far from the others. Therefore, it is necessary to build an elite cavalry first..."

Zhu Youzhen was still talking triumphantly, and inadvertently looked down, but saw that most of the people had a sarcastic smile on their faces, and they didn't care about what they said at all. Even Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin and even Qi Meifeng shook their heads again and again, disapproving. He had no choice but to pause and sit back in his seat.

Still full of Gui's heart was straightforward, and said with a big grin: "Your Highness, you are very easy!" If our army really had such a cavalry, the Tartars would have been wiped out long ago, and what kind of military meeting would there be! This cavalry is not something that can be built if you want to build it, first of all, there must be a large number of good horses, and secondly, there must be tens of thousands of cavalry who are proficient in horsemanship, all of which are indispensable! But I don't have these two things, so what can I build them? ”

Sun Chengzong saw that Zhu Youzhen was very embarrassed, so he hurriedly relieved him, and said slowly in an old voice: "The matter is too big to make a hasty decision." According to the opinion of this superintendent, it is better to put the two plans of Wang Jingluo and Yuan in charge of the court together, and after the cabinet ministers have agreed, they will be handed over to the Holy Tribunal. ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this, thinking that this Sun Chengzong was quite able to shirk responsibility. Playing the Imperial Court? Isn't that the upper performance of Wei Zhongxian! This 9,000-year-old is okay with his own person, and it is really an international joke to ask him to plan a plan to level Liao! also "handed over to the Holy Tribunal", the Holy Upper Patronized the furniture, and the Tribunal was punished!

But Sun Chengzong was the superintendent, and since he said so, others stopped expressing their opinions, and the military meeting finally broke up. I tossed for most of the night, but I still had no clue!

Coming out of Jingluo Mansion, Zhu Youzhen wanted to stay in the temporary palace, and Sun Chengzong wanted to inspect the city defense, so he walked with Zhu Youzhen along the way.

Seeing Sun Chengzong's expression in a trance, his eyes wandering, and he seemed to be much older, Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt that he was very pitiful. Liao has been eroded to this point, and the burden of thousands of catties has suddenly pressed on this sixty-year-old man, can he support it?

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan caught up from behind and said, "Master Inspector, the lower officials still have important things to come back to!" ”

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a while, and then suddenly woke up and said, "Master Yuan, what else is going on?" Why didn't you say it at the meeting? ”

Yuan Chonghuan approached and whispered: "Master Inspector, it's not convenient to say this at the meeting!" Please forgive the subordinate officials for committing minor crimes, so that the lower officials dare to speak clearly to the Governor! ”

Sun Chengzong looked at him in surprise, and said after a while: "As long as it is for the great plan of Pingliao, it comes from the public heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it, what a crime!" ”

"Then the next official will say it!" Yuan Chonghuan plucked up the courage and said, "Master Inspector, the lower officials think that the defeat of Guangning is really unjust, and the defeat is due to the discord between the economy and the appeasement, mutual restraint, and many politics, so that the soldiers below are at a loss!" At present, Wang Jingluo is bent on going his own way, and he has to build a city at Shanhaiguan. If you want to forge ahead, you will have a conflict with Wang Jingluo, and then it will be dangerous! ”

Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time, twisted his gray beard and asked, "How should you deal with it?" ”

"Only the military and political plans are all in one person!" Yuan Chonghuan's eyes sparkled in the middle of the night, "In this way, there is no prevarication, the victory is attributed to one person, and the defeat is also attributed to one person!" In this way, the power of rewards and punishments for life and death lies in the heart of the commander, and the soldiers are dignified in their hearts, and they will be able to obey the general's orders! ”

Zhu You listened to it, and suddenly felt as if he had eaten a fly, very disgusting! I thought that this Yuan Chonghuan is too bad, isn't this just pleading Sun Chengzong to masturbate Wang Zaijin?

In all fairness, although the plans of the two are not ideal, they also have merits, at least they are all out of good intentions to pacify Liaodong. As for what plan to take, according to Sun Chengzong's words, it is left to the imperial court to choose.

It's like two operational staff officers who come up with a set of operational plans in the face of a campaign. In actual combat, of course, the chief officer can only take one of them, but this does not mean that this staff officer is stronger than that staff officer, and the two have to continue to be colleagues.

But according to Yuan Chonghuan's thinking, whoever thinks differently from him has to be replaced! If you really want to act like this, then Wang Zaijin is only a Liaodong strategy, and Sun Chengzong is a supervisor, and if you want to change it, you can only change Wang Zaijin.

The so-called "people go to politics", Wang Zaijin is gone, and his plan will naturally end without a problem.

Although Yuan Chonghuan was also for Pingliao, Zhu Youzhen always felt a little despicable when he made this move, and couldn't help but snort heavily.

Sun Chengzong didn't say anything, just looked at the heavy night and pondered.

After a while, he said slowly: "Master Yuan, you have the courage, insight, and willingness to share the worries of the country, which is very rare. Looking at the DPRK and China, there are not many officials like you anymore! But your personality is too strong and you are too impatient, which is a taboo for officials! What you say, this overseer has his own consideration. I hope you will remember the words of this Inspector, so that you can do it yourself, and don't make mistakes for yourself! ”

"The lower officials should remember the teachings of the Inspector!" Yuan Chonghuan was unconsciously shocked into a cold sweat, and retreated solemnly.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Yuan Chonghuan's distant back, thinking to himself if he could really listen to Sun Chengzong's words?
