Chapter Ninety-Three: Longzhong vs. Five
Sun Chengzong naturally knew his thoughts very well, and he was also gushing endlessly, since the Emperor of the Apocalypse showed such an interested look, he naturally said it in more detail.
"Your Majesty, there is only one short-term goal, that is, to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, firstly, to stabilize the morale of the army, and secondly, to stabilize the morale of the people in Liaodong. Liaodong is the gateway to the capital division, with abundant water and grass in the Liaohe River Plain, if the imperial court wants to establish a cavalry with combat effectiveness, then it is naturally inseparable from horses. Liaodong is an indispensable place to raise horses, and the Ming Dynasty is indispensable. Stretching out his hand and pointing to the wide map, Sun Chengzong's expression was quite excited, and it was his dream to establish such a cavalry.
Nodding slightly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse kept thinking in his heart, it was when Sun Chengzong was in Liaodong that the situation in Liaodong improved. It was also Sun Chengzong in front of him who established a cavalry team in Liaodong, that is, the famous Guanning Iron Cavalry in history, the last cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.
"Stabilizing the situation in Liaodong, consolidating border defenses, building up a strong cavalry, these are all military measures. Liaodong is a remote place, and after having such a foundation, it can be administratively reformed in Liaodong. It's a remote location, and the resistance will be relatively small, so I believe there should be no problem. Even if there are some disclosures, the army is close at hand, and the problem can be solved as soon as possible. I believe that once the situation stabilizes, the imperial court will allocate money to establish horse farms and restore production in Liaodong, and there should be no big problem. After a year or two, the situation in Liaodong will be stable, money and food will be sufficient, and it should not be a problem to supply the army in Liaodong. The Emperor of the Apocalypse lowered his head and muttered to himself.
Sun Chengzong on the side saw that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was pondering, so he didn't speak, but listened to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and his heart was suddenly quite excited. The Emperor of the Apocalypse not only agreed with his own opinion, but also seemed to reform the system of Liaodong, so that the original constraints and shackles would not exist. If he got the full support of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong was confident that within three years, Liaodong would be changed.
Slowly kneeling on the ground, Sun Chengzong's face was quite serious, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty is a wise lord, please go to Liaodong, and your Majesty's hope will be achieved." Sun Chengzong also attributed all his opinions to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so that he could avoid a lot of trouble, and the attacks of those people would not fall on him.
Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse walked to Sun Chengzong's side and helped him up, and said with some embarrassment: "Aiqing, as a scholar of the first assistant university in the cabinet, I can't bear to go to Liaodong at this time. What's more, Mr. is my teacher, and I can't bear to let him get into danger. "The Emperor of the Apocalypse is acting, as the so-called Liu Bei smashed the child to buy people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's refusal to abandon you, you can be a minister by Your Majesty's side. This is the dream of the minister, even if it is for His Majesty to die in battle, the minister is willing. Sun Chengzong didn't get up, still kneeling on the ground and said with a stern expression.
"Sir, get up first, let me think about it!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse is very chaotic now, he has a lot of ideas but doesn't know how to implement them, he really wants to be quiet.
"Your Majesty, if you don't allow the minister to go to Liaodong, the minister will ask for his resignation!" Although Sun Chengzong stood up, the words in his mouth were loud, and he would not miss such an opportunity. At this time, he was also hot-headed, and such words were also blurted out.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Sun Chengzong in front of him a little helplessly, so he had to speak: "Okay, I let Aiqing go!" ”
"Your Majesty forgives the sin, the minister is rude!" Sun Chengzong also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said in a deep voice.
Waving his hand at Sun Chengzong, the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse still fell on the map, and he turned back to Sun Chengzong behind him and said, "Sir, look here." ”
Along the place pointed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong looked over, and then he was slightly stunned, because he was very familiar with that place, where is Shanxi and Shaanxi! I don't know what this young man thought of again.
"Sir, Liaodong has an iron horseman, and I don't think it's enough. This is the land of Qin, from ancient times to the present, the people of Qin are brave and martial, and it is a good source of soldiers. The most important thing is that it is backed by the vast Yellow River Plain, and the Hetao Plain is a famous place for horse breeding in ancient times. If a strong cavalry is built here, then the situation is different. Not only can it guard against the sneak attack of Houjin in Liaodong, but it can also attack at any time, and it is very active strategically. The Emperor of the Apocalypse was staring at it at this time, not only to deal with the Later Jin and the Mongols, but also for Shaanxi and Shanxi.
A few years later, although the drought led to a disagreement among the people, a peasant uprising broke out. But the real reason is traceable, the officials of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces are corrupt, and the border army has even forgotten in name only at that time. The most important thing is that there is a big smuggler of the Ming Dynasty here, that is, the Jin merchants.
At this time, due to the interruption of the Silk Road, most of the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces became large landowners. In a good year, these people may still be able to be a rich man and take a walk in officialdom. However, there was a great drought there, and many merchants had no choice but to start trading.
Because of geographical limitations, there is no advantage of Jiangnan here, and many industries are not able to engage in it. In order to survive, these people have started some illegal business. That is smuggling, and the object of smuggling is the Mongolian tribes and the Houjin. These people may not have thought that they did not die at the hands of the imperial court, but at the hands of those peasants and military households, which has to be said to be a kind of irony.
If you want to avoid such a thing, it is naturally not impossible, of course, the Emperor of the Apocalypse who stopped the Great Drought did not think about it, because that was something he could not do. The solution is disaster relief, and disaster relief needs to solve several problems, the first of which is the problem of food. The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought about this problem, and it was necessary to promote several high-yield crops and strive to increase the production of grain. Although I have an impression in my memory, the current agricultural situation is not understood by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and this can only be said later.
As for the second problem, it is the problem of the administration of officials in Shaanxi. The Chongzhen Emperor in history mainly appeased the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, but it was ineffective. First, it is because the repression is not in place, and second, it is because the relief is not in place. The grain distributed by the imperial court was blackened by unscrupulous profiteers and corrupt officials, and these people could not survive and naturally rebelled. Coupled with the incitement of the rebels, the peasant uprising was naturally out of control.
