is different from those children who have been admitted to the old age, Sun Chengzong is rarely talented, full of wealth, it stands to reason that he must be a young man, but he has wasted half his life like this.

After being admitted to the Jinshi, Sun Chengzong got his wish and ordered Hanlin, and the next step was to enter the cabinet. But fate seems to have made a joke at this time, and the position of Hanlin editor is thirteen years, and Sun Chengzong is fifty-six years old at this time.

At this age, Sun Chengzong's good fortune seems to have come, as he entered the Zhan Mansion to teach Emperor Taichang, who was still the crown prince at the time, to read. thought that once Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, he would be able to rise to the top and show his ambitions, but fate seemed to play a joke with Sun Chengzong.

Emperor Taichang had just ascended the throne for a month, and he died like this, and Sun Chengzong lost another opportunity.

It wasn't until the second year of the Apocalypse that this old man, who was over half a hundred years old, won the first peak of his career, he became a secretary of the military department, and finally became a cabinet scholar as he wished. At this time, Sun Chengzong patrolled Liaodong, established the Ningyuan defense line, and prepared to show his ambitions.

But at this time, fate remembered Sun Chengzong again, and after only four years of such a day, Sun Chengzong finally attracted the attention of one person, that is, Wei Zhongxian. Finally, the old man did not fight this nine-thousand-year-old and was driven home.

The days of leisure at home lasted until the second year of Chongzhen, when Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, and people seemed to remember this old man. Sun Chengzong was appointed as the strategy of Liaodong at one time, sitting in Liaodong and resisting Huang Taiji. At this time, Sun Chengzong was already sixty-five years old, and for the ambition in his heart and the belief in his heart, this old man once again stood on the battlefield.

But this time Sun Chengzong was disappointed again, two years later, the situation in Liaodong had just stabilized, and the old man was squeezed out by the Donglin Party and was driven home again, at this time Sun Chengzong was sixty-seven years old.

This time Sun Chengzong seemed to be really disappointed, and he began to organize his things at home, writing them all into a book. Perhaps, in the old man's mind, this was the last way he could fulfill his ambitions, the last thing he could do for the Empire. At this time, this ill-fated old man did not give up the ideals in his heart.

It wasn't until the eleventh year of Chongzhen that the old man was remembered again and was transferred to the front line to resist Dolgon, when Sun Chengzong was already seventy-six years old. For the belief and dream in his heart, this old man resolutely went to the battlefield. In the battle to defend Gaoyang, Sun Chengzong's six sons, two nephews, twelve grandsons and nephews were martyred, and more than 40 people in the whole family were killed.

This seventy-six-year-old man fell on the road of his own struggle, looking at the history of the late Ming Dynasty, perhaps we will think that Yuan Chonghuan's death was unjust. After his death, he was also labeled as a traitor, and until the Emperor of the Apocalypse crossed over, there was no conclusion to Yuan Chonghuan's controversy.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, the history of the late Ming Dynasty is a tragic history, from Xiong Tingbi to Yuan Chonghuan later, countless famous generals died. They didn't die in the war, most of them died from the assassination of insiders. More are the soft knives that died from their own people, such as Zu Dashou, such as Mangui, such as Cao Wenzhao. Maybe we have complained that Wu Sangui is a traitor, but have we ever thought about it, how did these generals who worked hard for the Ming Dynasty treat them? It is said that the cunning rabbit is cooked by a dead lackey, or it is all good.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, who was the most active in surrendering? It is those rich gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is the Donglin Party that is full of righteousness. After the death of Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Sangui never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, what he wanted to find was Li Zicheng. Perhaps in his opinion, although Li Zicheng overthrew the Ming Dynasty, he can be regarded as an official forcing the people to rebel, which is understandable.

How can he and Li Zicheng be regarded as the same ancestry, but how did Li Zicheng do it? robbed Wu Sangui's wife and arrested Wu Sangui's parents, what can Wu Sangui do at such a time?

Perhaps, when condemning these people, you can think about why they are doing this. And Sun Chengzong can be said to be the most tragic among the ministers in the late Ming Dynasty.

In the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, there was still hope for the Ming Dynasty, but because of those selfish Donglin Party and the incompetent emperors of the old Zhu family, these generals were all hated and killed. Or when they die, they still go with the heart of serving the country and the people, and they may have a very deep resentment in their hearts.

Looking at the old Sun Chengzong in front of him, or thinking about the experience of this minister, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt a lot of emotion. Such a person who can save the country, but he cannot display his ambitions in his life, I have to say that this is the sadness of this era.

Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, the Emperor of the Apocalypse poured a glass of wine for Song Chengzong, and drank a glass of wine with the old man in Sun Chengzong's wry smile. This may be a trace of apology for the Emperor of the Apocalypse, for the old Zhu family, for these emperors of the old Zhu family.

"Sun Aiqing, I've been thinking about a question these days, how should this be to prosper Daming? Will I still be able to revive the country? Looking at Sun Chengzong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse revealed his weakness for the first time, and for the first time doubted his beliefs.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty will be able to." Sun Chengzong was very optimistic about the Emperor of the Apocalypse at this time, this was definitely a Ming monarch, and he could clearly understand that the status quo was the best emperor. He will not be deceived by superficial things, he will not be swayed by the words of others, as long as he sticks to his beliefs, he will definitely be able to do it.

"I hope so!" After drinking a glass of wine gently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse put down the cup in his hand and said: "I want to rectify the Beijing camp, the soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty are already weak at this time, but the border army is beyond the reach of the whip, so I can only start with the Beijing camp first, I don't know if Sun Aiqing has any good opinions?" ”

Sun Chengzong didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to ask such a question, but he agreed with the Emperor of the Apocalypse's opinion, there are too many ills in this country. The disadvantages have been accumulated for a long time, and they can't be turned over all at once, they can only come little by little. It is necessary to start with the army, and only when the army is mastered can other things be said. And the army starts from Beijing, which is also the best choice, at this time Sun Chengzong is even more convinced that the Emperor of the Apocalypse can achieve Zhongxing Daming. By the side of such a Ming Jun, he will definitely be able to show his ambitions.

After a slight sigh, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, although there are many people in the Jingying, there are not many soldiers who can fight. According to the minister's understanding for so many years, the main problems in the army are those points. ”

Today's five watches, a small outbreak, I hope you will support a lot, two hours later, there is a more!
