Sun Chengzong would rather die and die for the country, and his integrity is admirable. But his Liaodong policy was a driving force behind the fall of the Ming Dynasty. The specific how he bankrupted the finances of the Ming Dynasty is described in detail in the novel "The First Fierce Man of the Ming Dynasty". Here's a repost of someone else's comment:

After the Guangning War in the second year of the Apocalypse, Jiliao Jingluo Xiong Tingbi put forward the strategy of "fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness", giving up all the land outside the Guan, and leading the whole army to retreat into Shanhaiguan to defend it. This decision is very correct. The three dynasties of Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty are in a "Little IceAge Xiaoice" of the global climate. From 1580 until the mid-seventeenth century, known as the Xiaoice Age, almost all sunspots disappeared for as long as seven decades, during which the flow of cosmic rays decreased while the climate cooled, the closest of a dozen similar events in the past 10,000 years, the coldest ever on record. The extreme cold will inevitably cause the rainfall area to move southward, and the northern regions will be in the midst of famine for many years. Under such natural conditions, the Ming Dynasty only needed to hold on to the clear wilderness, and without spending a single soldier, the Manchu Qing could starve to death outside the pass. Xiong Tingbi's strategy is exactly this intention. When the Ming army retreated to Shanhaiguan, if Houjin wanted to attack, the supply line from Shenyang to the front line would be 600 miles long. The Ming army arranged the defense line at Shanhaiguan, just as Cao Cao chose the battlefield of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao in Guandu, which was relatively close to his rear, which was extremely beneficial to the Ming army. What's more, Shanhaiguan is the "first pass in the world", the defensive strength is impeccable, and it is a heroic pass that has never been broken in the era of cold weapons. When Xiong Tingbi implemented the policy of clearing the wilderness, he also led hundreds of thousands of Liao people to retreat into the Guannai together, which was a very responsible move and avoided many tragedies like "Juehua Island".

However, due to the defeat of Guangning, Xiong Tingbi was held accountable and dismissed from prison and imprisoned, and the post of Jiliao Jinglu was taken over by Wang Zaijin. Fortunately, this is another outstanding military master, while inheriting Xiong Tingbi's correct strategy, he further designed a brilliant idea to annihilate the enemy under the Shanhai Pass. After Wang Zaijin took office, he put forward a plan to build a "heavy pass" outside the Shanhai Pass, which is not something that ordinary people can see through, and it reflects Wang Zaijin's almost bizarre old scheming. The key to Wang's plan was to be built eight miles away from Shanhaiguan, an idea that was expected to cost one million taels of silver, and was supported by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all Tianzhong, and the plan strongly supported by the Emperor of the Apocalypse certainly had its wonders.

However, it was Sun Chengzong who volunteered to inspect Liaodong, resolutely repudiated Wang Zaijin's plan, and ousted Wang Zaijin by guòzheng zhì means.

If it is linked to "closing the door and killing the machine", it is not difficult to understand Wang Zaijin's practice of "abandoning the heavy pass". Imagine that the Ming Dynasty had to fight a decisive battle with the Houjin outside the gate, lengthen the supply line of the Houjin, and defeat the Houjin army by cutting off the rear grain road, which was an excellent plan for the Ming Dynasty to destroy the enemy, which could not only give full play to the advantages of the Ming Dynasty army to defend the city with firearms, but also give full play to the advantages of its own water division, and also avoid the war with the Houjin Ye, and even avoid the fight, because the Jin will inevitably collapse after the grain road is broken, if the Houjin army is starved for a month or two, will the Ming army still use the Ming army to fight? Just go and collect the body. Spring and Autumn http://bbs.

Spring and Autumn http://bbs.

But there is a little problem in this wishful thinking, that is, whether the Houjin is determined to travel thousands of miles to the gate and fight a decisive battle with the Ming Dynasty outside the gate, this is a relatively low-level mistake, unless the ** Hachi Lao is confused, but if the Houjin obtains this "heavy pass" The situation may be different, and after the Houjin obtains this heavy pass, he may make up his mind to confront the Ming Dynasty outside the gate, as long as the ice of the Haihe River melts, then the army outside the Houjin Pass will be finished, and the Ming Dynasty dispatched sailors to block the Daling River, Xiaoling River, It is entirely possible to use the huge warships of the Ming Dynasty Navy Division to destroy the pontoon bridge reached by a few small boats? Of course, if the Houjin occupies the "heavy city" but gives up before the ice, it will naturally not be annihilated, but the Houjin will no longer want to threaten the Shanhaiguan Guancheng, and the Ming Dynasty can safely solve the domestic problems and wait for the time to be ripe to wipe out the Houjin in one fell swoop (if the Houjin is not starved to death and frozen to death by the drought and severe cold outside the pass).

This mystery inherited Xiong Tingbi's strategy and expanded the "closing the door to kill the machine", which was also a good strategy, at the time it seemed that this was a top-secret military strategy, which should only be known to Wang Zaijin and Emperor Tianqi, and it was also the direct reason for Emperor Tianqi's consent, and it was also the root cause of Sun Chengzong's "more than ten sparse" to change the "construction of heavy cities". So it is not difficult to understand why Wang Zaijin refused to compromise for seven days and seven nights. (The above interpretation of "shutting down the door and killing the machine" is borrowed from the article "Refuting "Men's Hearts Are Like Iron"" by leftist bigwigs, and I would like to pay the highest respect to this pioneer who subverts tradition)

2. Arrange one of the defensive dead places of the Ming army - the defense line of Ningyuan and Juehua Island

After Sun Chengzong overthrew Wang Zaijin's design of the heavy pass, he decided on a plan to bring the Ming army into a defensive dead place - to build a defensive line of Ningyuan and Juehua Island. Ningyuan is located 200 miles outside Shanhaiguan, with the sea in the east and the mountain in the west, and the road to Shanhaiguan is only 20 miles wide. Such a narrow corridor-shaped geographical shape could easily be cut off by the attacking Manchu army, becoming a lonely city with no food and no support. Putting the Ming army into such a lonely city to defend was in fact putting the army into a place of death. Juehua Island is two small islands in the sea more than 30 miles away from Ningyuan, and the closest distance from the coast is only less than 10 miles. When the weather is cold, this narrow stretch of sea can easily freeze, making it a thoroughfare. The fiasco of Juehua Island in the Battle of Ningyuan was caused by this improper geographical shape. But Sun Chengzong resolutely pushed the Ming army's defense line to this place, and proposed "...... When Ning Yuan rushed, he and Juehua were horned. The enemy peeped into the city, so that the island pawn out of the three forks, broken the pontoon bridge, around it and crossed it" above the paper. Think about it, when the day was freezing and frozen, how could the army on Juehua Island implement the plan of "going out of the three forks, breaking the pontoon bridge, and going around it and attacking it"? And Sun Chengzong not only put the army into such a dangerous place, but also regarded Juehua Island as a very important grain camp for the Ming army, and accumulated a large number of military supplies all year round. Such a layout is actually a big gift in a place where the Manchus are within reach.

In October of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong was impeached and removed from office, and Gao Di succeeded him as the Liaodong Economic Strategy. Gao Di's idea of guarding Liao was inherited from Xiong Tingbi and Wang Zaijin. Therefore, as soon as he took office, he demanded that he withdraw from all the relevant foreign defense areas, clear the wilderness, and starve to death of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, this correct instruction of Gao Di was resolutely opposed by a group of fools appointed by Sun Chengzong, headed by Yuan Chonghuan. The great retreat of the Liaodong Army only ended in Ningyuan, and a large amount of grain and grass in Youtun, the granary of the Jinzhou defense line, was left at the forefront by Yuan Chonghuan and others, who were passive and slacking off. In the first month of the following year, ** Hachi waved his army south, and the "place of death" arranged by Sun Chengzong finally played its true role.

Bingyin, the eleventh year of the Mandate of Heaven. On the fourteenth day of the first month, the emperor led the kings to conquer the Ming Dynasty. On the 16th, it was at Dongchang Fort, on the 17th it crossed the Liao River, deployed troops in the wilderness, went to the coast in the south, crossed the Quang Ninh Road in the north, the front and back were like streams, the end was not seen, and the banner and sword halberd were like a forest. There are strikers to Xiping Fort, catch the sentry and inquire about it, and say: "The Ming soldiers have 1,000 guards on the right, 500 Daling River, 3,000 Jinzhou, and people outside of the Ming Dynasty live everywhere." "The soldiers are about to go to the right guard, and the general Zhou Shoulian who guards the city has fled with the army and people. The emperor ordered the eight officials to lead 40,000 infantry, and transported the coastal grain to the right guard. The soldiers advanced, and the Jinzhou guerrillas Xiao Sheng, Zhang Xian of the Chinese army, Lu Zhong of the Dusi, Zuo Fu of the Songshan staff general, Mao Fengyi of the Chinese army, and the soldiers and civilians of the seven cities of Dalinghe, Xiaolinghe, Xingshan, Lianshan, and Tashan were terrified and burned the Fanggu and left.

On the 23rd, the soldiers went to Ningyuan, crossed the city for five miles, and set up camp on the Shanhai Road. Let the captured Han people enter Ningyuan, and tell him: "I will attack this city with 200,000 soldiers, and it will be broken. Ning Yuandao Yuan Zonghuan replied: "Why did Khan increase his troops? The second city of Ningjin is the land abandoned by the Khan, and I will restore it, and I should defend it to the death? How can there be a reason? It means that there are 200,000 soldiers, and I know 130,000, how can I be outnumbered? The emperor immediately ordered the army to prepare attack equipment and attack under the city with chariots on the 24th. When the weather is cold and the earth is frozen, the city is destroyed but does not fall. The sergeants fought hard, Ning Yuandao Yuan Zonghuan, the general soldier Man Gui, and the general Zu Dashou Infant City were firmly defended, and the guns and artillery cans were thunder and stone, and the battle was not retreated, and the Manchurian soldiers could not advance, but there were few. The next day, the attack was resumed, and it could not be overcome, but the troops were withdrawn. On the second day, the siege of the city was divided into two guerrillas, two garrisons, and 500 soldiers.

On the 26th, when he heard that the grain and grass needed by the Daming Guan army were stationed on Juehua Island sixteen miles south of Ningyuan, he ordered Wu Neige to lead the Bagu Mountain Mongolia and 800 soldiers to take it. Seeing the Ming Dynasty's grain guards Yao Fumin, Hu Yining, Jin Guan, guerrilla Li Shan, Zhang Guoqing, and Wu guerrillas, they camped on the ice, chiseled the ice for fifteen miles, and defended them with chariots. Our soldiers searched for the undug place and entered, so they defeated their soldiers and killed them all. Seeing the soldiers of the second battalion standing on the island and mountain, they rushed in, killed them all, burned more than 2,000 of their boats, and more than 1,000 piles of grain and grass, and returned to the camp.

On the 27th, the emperor returned to the right tunwei and burned all the grain and grass. ("Records of Qing Taizu")

3. Arrange the second defensive dead place of the Ming army - the Jinzhou defense line

After arranging the dead places of Ningyuan and Juehua Island, Sun Chengzong further pushed the defense line forward and built another defensive dead place 200 miles away from Ningyuan - Jinzhou.

Jinzhou is located at one end of the Guanning Jin Corridor, and the 400-mile distance from Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan is this narrow corridor that is no more than 20 miles wide. From this point of view alone, the terrain of Jinzhou was as bad as Ningyuan, and it was very easy to be cut off from the rear by the assaulting Manchu army. Not only that, there are many mountains and rivers near Jinzhou, from Jinzhou to Ningyuan, there are many dangerous terrains such as Xiaoling River, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan and so on, which are very conducive to the deployment of the Manchu army, so as to cut off the connection between the Ming army and the rear. It is this bad geographical shape that has made all the major wars since the construction of Jinzhou City very unfavorable to the defenders: first, in the Ningjin War in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Chonghuan delayed sending reinforcements due to the inconvenient terrain of Jinzhou, and finally finally let Mangui lead the army to reinforce and only dare to allocate 10,000 people. Compared to the 60,000 troops besieging Jinzhou by Huang Taiji, these troops were not even enough to plug their teeth. Obviously, Yuan Chonghuan made this arrangement knowing that the terrain of Jinzhou was extremely unfavorable for reinforcements (but it was he and Sun Chengzong who originally asked for a defense in Jinzhou, which shows that they were either born stupid or had bad intentions). Second, in the Songjin War in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Hong Chengchou's 130,000 troops were stationed in Songshan to rescue Zu Dashou in Jinzhou, but as a result, Huang Taiji was trapped in Songshan and cut off the connection with the rear, directly leading the army to be in turmoil and the whole army was defeated. This responsibility should obviously be borne by Sun Chengzong, who was the first to decide to build a city in Jinzhou. Third, in the Liaoshen Campaign of the Kuomintang and Communist Civil War, Jinzhou of the National Army was surrounded by the first four columns, and the 11 divisions of Jinxi and Huludao reinforce Jinzhou, which was blocked by the four columns in Tashan for 6 days and could not advance, and finally led the irreparable collapse of the national army in the northeast. These historical wars in Jinzhou all prove that Jinzhou is indeed a dead place that is not conducive to defense. And Sun Chengzong, who was the first to decide to build a city in Jinzhou, is, of course, the first fool in the ages.

It is a pity that there is no shortage of people of insight in the Ming Dynasty, who have long pointed out that Jinzhou is unguardable. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, You Shilu, the chief soldier stationed there, called Jinzhou "the city collapsed by rain and was unlivable" ("Three Dynasties Liao Facts" volume 17) and asked to withdraw to Xingshan. Hou Shilu, the garrison general stationed in Tashan, believed that Tashan was not a defendable place and wanted to "move to another place" ("Three Dynasties Liao Facts", vol. 17). Among the many opinions proposing to abandon Jinzhou, Yan Mingtai of the Governor Ji Liao was the most forceful and the most stern: "Jinzhou is a remote and Austrian area, and it is not a key place. The discussion and repair on that day was a mistake, and it was only a few projectiles that scratched half of the wall, although fortunately there was nothing to do, but it was also in a precarious situation. Stealing today's Jinzhou can be suspended as a virtual book, Shen Fu is a real thing, and it can be set as a live situation, and Shen Fu mud is a dead game. ("Records of Xizong"). Liaodong successive chiefs, in addition to Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, the rest of Xiong Tingbi, Wang Zaijin, Gao Di, Wang Zhichen all decided to abandon Jinzhou, the strategy of the first three we have already introduced, Wang Zhichen was in the seventh year of the Apocalypse to take over Yuan Chonghuan's mess, he took over the defense of the dead place in the second year after taking over.

Like the wise men of the Ming Dynasty, the two monarchs of the Qing Dynasty would not put their own armies into this place of death. After the Guangning War in the second year of the Apocalypse, Hachi attacked all the way to Jinzhou. However, after occupying this place, he did not send troops to garrison it, but moved all the residents of Jinzhou and Yizhou to the east of the Liao River, and directly abandoned this area. During the Ningyuan War in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Hachi occupied this land once, and then gave up again. After the ministers of the king abandoned Jinzhou in the first year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji sent Abatai to lead the army to occupy this place, but also destroyed the city. "In May, the Ming people abandoned Jinzhou. Belle Abatai and others led 3,000 troops to the three cities of Jinzhou, Xingshan and Gaoqiao, and destroyed 21 piers east of the thirteen stations. "Qing Historical Manuscript: Taizong Benji"

4. Arrange the third place of the Ming army's defense - Dalinghe City

In May of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong decided to defend Jinzhou at the same time, and began to build the former fortress of Jinzhou - Dalinghe City, which was also a desperate place where the Ming army was killed. Of course, after Sun Chengzong stepped down in October, Gao Di, who succeeded Liaodong Jingluo, decisively gave up this piece of chicken ribs, which was actually a wise decision to set things right. However, after the Battle of Ningyuan, Gao Di was impeached and dismissed, and the Liao affair was taken over by Yuan Chonghuan, who was promoted by Sun Chengzong. Fortunately, before Yuan Chonghuan's city building work was over, Huang Taiji launched the Battle of Ningjin, and Yuan's army retreated in panic, leaving the empty city of Daling River, which had not yet been built, to the Qing soldiers. But Huang Taiji would not leave his army here to die, and after the end of the Ningjin War, Huang Taiji destroyed the city and left. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, when Sun Chengzong supervised Liao for the second time, he once again stupidly re-proposed the construction of the Daling River, and sent Zu Dashou and He Kegang to build the city. Eight months later, the Ming army suffered the famous defeat at the Daling River. Zu Dashou and He Kegang's troops were surrounded by Huang Taiji and cut off food and grass in Dalinghe City, and the Ming army in Jinzhou sent troops to rescue four times in vain. Especially when it came to the fourth rescue of the Daling River, Sun Chengzong personally served as the front-line commander, and the right commander of the reinforcements was Zu Dashou's brother-in-law Wu Xiang, that is, Wu Sangui's father. However, due to the terrible terrain in Jinzhou and the Daling River, the fourth rescue operation of the Ming army was still a fiasco. At this point, the Daling River completely cut off the hope of relieving the predicament, the grain and grass in the city were cut off, and the defenders fed on people. In the end, Zu Dashou accepted Huang Taiji's surrender, personally killed He Kegang, who refused to surrender, and became a shameful traitor. On the day of the surrender, Zu Dashou led the army to attack Jinzhou, and Huang Taiji immediately agreed. Unexpectedly, the fog was heavy that night, Zu Dashou and the Qing army who attacked Jinzhou together were scattered, and advanced to Jinzhou alone. Since then, the traitor Zu Dashou stayed in Jinzhou, gradually grasped the power of Jinzhou, and put his sons and nephews in the Manchu Qing Dynasty as officials. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou was lowered to the Qing Dynasty for the second time, and finally tore off the mask that had been worn for ten years.

5. Wantonly promote and appoint a bunch of fools and traitors

During his tenure in charge of Liao, Sun Chengzong vigorously recommended and reused a bunch of fools and traitors. It was these people who joined forces to bury the Ming Dynasty.

First, Yuan Chonghuan. Needless to say, this person has done more bad things than Sun Chengzong, and the extremely stupid plan of building Ningyuan and Jinzhou, two dead places, as the defense line of the Ming army, was made by him and Sun Chengzong. In addition, killing Mao Shuai, destroying the Dongjiang River, consuming money and grain, abandoning North Korea, repairing peace negotiations, and releasing enemy soldiers...... He is really a criminal minister of the Ming Dynasty and a hero of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Second, full of gui. This person was also promoted by Sun Chengzong, and he had his share of disobeying Gao Di's order to stick to Ningyuan, and when he rescued Jinzhou in the Ningjin War, he was perfunctory, and the army of 10,000 people died and fled in a hurry. The biggest bad thing Man Gui did was to bury the Ming army twice in the Battle of Beijing. The first was the Battle of Deshengmen, in which the whole army was defeated and suffered casualties, and only a few hundred of the 5,000-strong army fled back to the city. The second time was the Battle of Yongdingmen, and this time it was even more excessive than the previous one. Before the war, Man Gui deliberately rejected the Shenfu troops recruited by Beijing, personally shot arrows at the barracks of the Shenfu troops, and drove the Shenfu troops to Lugou Bridge to garrison. On December 15, the Qing army came along the Yongding River and immediately annihilated the Shenfu troops stationed at Lugou Bridge. After that, Man Gui led 40,000 Ming troops to fight with the Qing soldiers at Yongdingmen, and led the army to take the initiative to attack knowing that the Ming army was unfavorable in the field, completely giving up the artillery support at the head of the city. As a result of the battle, the four general soldiers led by the Ming Dynasty were killed and two were captured, Man Gui and Sun Zushou were killed in battle, and Heiyunlong and Ma Dengyun were captured. It should be noted that Mangui was not Han but Mongol, so Mangui's actions are even more suspicious. And Sun Chengzong, who vigorously promoted Man Gui, is at least a fool.

Third, Ma Shilong. "History of the Ming Dynasty" commented that this person was "beautiful and cowardly". However, among the cadres reused by Sun Chengzong, Ma Shilong ranked first. Ma Shilong was originally a guerrilla in Xuanfu, and in the second year of the Apocalypse, he served as the deputy commander-in-chief of Yongping. "Sun Chengzong of the Department of Military Affairs is a talented person, and he is recommended to be the governor of the Department and the chief officer of the Santun Battalion. Chengzong went out of the town and was recommended as the chief soldier of the mountains and seas. "Those who are jealous of inheriting the sect will hit the world dragon more to shake it. Chengzong defended the court and said: 'People say that they are greedy and lustful, and the ministers dare to protect them with a hundred mouths. In September of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Ma Shilong's incompetence finally showed its original form, "Shilong mistakenly believed that Liu Boyan, the descendant, sent the forward deputy general Lu Zhijia, and the general Li Chengxian to lead the division to attack Yaozhou, and was defeated. This is the famous Liuhe defeat, and Sun Chengzong was first deposed because of Ma Shilong's fiasco. And the defeat of the Dalinghe mentioned above was the reason why Sun Chengzong was deposed for the second time.

Fourth, Yu An. During Sun Chengzong's first governor of Liao, he first abolished the governor Yan Mingtai, then abolished the governor Zhang Fengyi, and finally selected Yu Anxing as the governor of Liaodong. This person did not make outstanding achievements in Liaodong, and in November of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he was deposed together due to the defeat of Liuhe. In the Chongzhen period, Yu Anxing was reused as the governor of Jiliao, and actually governed Jizhen. Just when Yu Anxing was in office, a large-scale mutiny broke out in Jizhen, and the soldiers made trouble because of unpaid wages. In the second year, Huang Taiji arrived in Beijing from the entrance of Jizhen Town, and broke through the two passes of the Great Wall in the Zunhua section in one day, which was where Yu Anxing mutinied. The defenders of Jizhen are so vulnerable, and the mutiny a year ago is obviously inseparable. It can be seen that Yu Anxing is at least an incompetent person.

Fifth, Liu Xingzhi. After Yuan Chonghuan beheaded Mao Wenlong, he appointed Liu Xingzhi's elder brother Liu Xingqi as the deputy general of the Dongjiang River and led the Dongjiang Right Association. After Sun Chengzong took over, Liu Xingqi was transferred to Ningyuan, and the post of commander of the Dongjiang Right Association was handed over to Liu Xingzhi to take over. In April of the third year of Chongzhen, Liu Xingzhi rebelled on Phi Dao and killed Chen Jisheng, the chief official of the Dongjiang River, and the generals of the Zuo Xie, but Sun Chengzong still tolerated the traitors, sent Zhou Wenyu, Song Xian and others to appease Liu Xingzhi, and handed over the power of the Dongjiang River to this rebel. In August, Liu Xingzhi secretly sent Emperor Taiji to agree to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. In March of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Liu Xingzhi rebelled again on Phi Dao, but this time he blatantly played the banner of surrendering the Qing Dynasty and was ready to be a traitor, but fortunately he was killed by the general Shen Shikui at night, and the rebellion was quelled.

Sixth, Zu Dashou. During the Battle of Quang Ninh, Zu Dashou retreated to Juehua Island without permission. But after Sun Chengzong supervised Liao, he reused this person. Since then, Zu Dashou has been a confidant of Yuan Chonghuan and has participated in a lot of disasters to the country and the people. When the change of Chongzhen in the second year, Emperor Chongzhen had insight into Yuan Chonghuan's conspiracy, and decisively arrested him and imprisoned him. At this time, it was Sun Chengzong who came forward again and guaranteed the birthday of his ancestors. However, later facts proved that this person was an out-and-out traitor, and the second time he cleared up this indelible fact, and firmly nailed Zu Dashou to the shame list of the Han nation. And Sun Chengzong, who has repeatedly protected and reused his ancestors, is at least a fool who knows no people.

Seventh, Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong. In March of the fourth year of Chongzhen, after Liu Xingzhi's second rebellion on Phi Island failed, Huang Long, the former Lushun garrison general, took over as the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang River. Huang Long implicated Geng Jingzhong in cleaning up the remnants of the rebellion, and this person defected to Denglai together with Kong Youde. And Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai (this person is also another fool appointed by Sun Chengzong), actually contained the two villains and obtained Sun Chengzong's consent. Sun Yuanhua appointed Kong Geng and the others to train the new army equipped with new artillery. In November, Kong Youde led the army to Liaodong to support Dalinghe City, Kong defected halfway and returned to Denglai, Geng Jingzhong joined the rebels under the persuasion of Kong Youde. The rebellion spread almost to the entire territory of Denglai, and finally Kong Geng and his wife surrendered to the Manchus with the latest artillery technology of the Ming Dynasty.

(The author of this material is too tendentious, some of it is inadvertent, and it is more convincing to find another author to write it, but unfortunately the reinstallation system is lost.) Go back to Sun Chengzong again to find it, it has been deleted. ）

In addition, some people have verified that Sun Chengzong resigned by himself, not by the eunuchs. He also cites a number of his own cantatas, which the novel references.

To reiterate: Sun Chengzong's integrity is admirable, and his ability is still questionable.
