From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains Dynasty built the Great Wall to resist the nomads in the north. In the Ming Dynasty, it formed a perfect defense system of the Great Wall, beacon towers, dungeons, and cities to protect the security of the empire.

In the face of Jiannu, building castles and strengthening defenses is not necessarily wrong. But everything is too much. In history, after Sun Chengzong arrived in Liaodong, he built a castle without his life, throwing in four or five million taels of silver every year, and emptied the family foundation of the Ming Dynasty, the finances dried up, and the displaced people in various places revolted continuously, and the Ming Dynasty was pushed into the abyss of no return.

And Sun Ge Lao's so-called recovered land is a buffer zone that Jiannu does not want, and the income of Tuntian is only 180,000 taels per year, and the Liao people guard the Liao land, and as a result, a group of Guanning military generals has been cultivated.

The Ming Dynasty died in the Liukou, and the Liukou arose because of the inability to provide disaster relief, and the reason was that Liaodong occupied too much military expenditure and crowded out other expenditures.

And Sun Chengzong is a fool who single-handedly dug a bottomless black hole and kept throwing money into it.

It can only be said that he was lucky to withdraw from Liaodong as soon as possible and did not fall into disrepute.

Now that Mr. Sun has come to Liaodong again, and he has repeated his old skills and continued his big project, Zhang Ke is Yan zhòng sneered. Even Wang Huazhen, who doesn't understand military affairs very well, can't look down on it.

"To build dozens of city piers, it costs countless bricks and tiles * wood, and it takes 350,000 people to build it, and the construction period is at least five years. Even if Jiannu doesn't come to fight us, the civil and financial resources consumed alone are enough to hollow out Liaodong and the Ming Dynasty! Wang Huazhen was so angry that he slapped the table and scolded: "What do those bastards in the court think, did they go crazy just because of the false name of recovering the four hundred miles of their homeland?" Clear stream misleads the country! ”

Zhang Ke took out a map of Liaodong from his arms and sent it to Wang Huazhen.

"Shibo, please look. The places where Sun Ge Lao wants to build the city piers are all west of the Sancha River. After a series of battles, from the Daling River to the Sancha River, in the middle is the buffer zone between us and the Tartars, you have me, I have you. Even if the city is built here, it can't really be said that these lands will be recovered. What's more, even if the court gives enough silver, it can't be repaired! ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"The reason couldn't be clearer, it may not matter if you repair the city near Quang Ninh, but when you get to the vicinity of the Sancha River. Will the Tartars watch it? ”

"Huh?"

Wang Huazhen stared at the map and suddenly exclaimed.

"That's right, if the city is not repaired, the craftsmen and the people will have no place to hide, which is equivalent to sending it to the mouth of the Tartar and letting them devour it! As long as the Tartars keep attacking, it's a dream to repair the city! ”

Wang Huazhen thought for a while, and then asked, "Yongzhen, what if you send some troops to protect it?" Wouldn't it be good? ”

"No!" Zhang Ke said categorically: "If there are fewer people in the faction, the tartars will be eaten, and if there are more, they will be consumed slowly." I can swallow it, too. Only the concentration of forces stronger than the Tartars can guarantee the construction. But at that time, even if you directly recover the whole Liao, why bother to repair the city! ”

When it comes to this, it is to completely overthrow Mr. Sun's set. It's just that Zhang Ke and Wang Huazhen understand this thing. Those elm heads in the imperial court, as well as Sun Ge Lao, must not understand.

"Alas!" Wang Huazhen sighed heavily.

"Yongzhen, there is only one plan for today. It is to drive Sun Chengzong out of Liaodong. But he is an old man of the court, a holy teacher, with the support of the emperor and the support of Qingliu. Even Wang Zaijin and Wang Xiangqian, said that they would drive away, what can we do! ”

Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "What Shibo said is reasonable, it is indeed difficult, but it can't be done if you don't do it." I got a report that Jiannu was already in civil strife, and Huang Taiji and Daishan were fighting for the throne. We must take advantage of the civil strife in Jiannu and have no time to take care of it, and drive Lao Sun away, or ......"

Zhang Ke didn't continue, but Wang Huazhen also knew what he meant.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the guards hurried in.

"Marquis Qiqi, Yuan Chonghuan and Ma Shilong led the men and horses out of the city."

"Let's go, let's see!"

When the two men arrived at the front yard, they heard a noisy noise, and from time to time a team of horses was arrogantly singing, and the knights above kept peeking at the governor's yamen and talking and laughing.

"Hmph, I often look at the crab with cold eyes, and see how long you will be rampant!" Wang Huazhen scolded angrily: "Yongzhen, it seems that they are going to come hard, and they can't let them harm the people, so I'll go out and stop them." ”

"Slow!"

Zhang Ke suddenly stopped Wang Huazhen and pulled him to the back hall. Wang Huazhen was still not convinced, and said angrily: "Yongzhen, you are the general who leads the army, are you afraid of them?" ”

"Shibo, it always depends on the owner to beat the dog! If you make a move now, you will definitely be played to the court, saying that we are tyrannical and domineering, if it is really the will of the saint to remove our officials, what should we do? ”

Wang Huazhen opened her mouth, and could only mutter: "It doesn't matter if I am dismissed, but Liaodong can't live without Yongzhen!" ”

After calming down, Wang Huazhen was pulled back into the house by Zhang Ke, and sent the guards out, there were only two people left in the room, and Zhang Ke let out a long sigh.

"Shibo, so far, the only way to let Sun Chengzong toss!"

"Yongzhen, is there no other way?"

Zhang Ke shook his head: "There is the emperor standing behind him, what can we do, only when he tosses the anger and resentment, the emperor can't stay, so he will naturally get out." What we can do is to add fuel to the fire and let the sores come out. ”

If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, and if you don't see the Yellow River, your heart won't die. Some things will only be repented of when they have consequences. Until then, it's useless to say how much!

Wang Huazhen sat down, looked at the ceiling, and sighed:

"Alas, God willing, hurry up and end it, and the people will suffer less."

……

Yuan Chonghuan is a figure who can't wait to become a high-ranking official in the upper ministry tomorrow, otherwise he would not have run from Fujian to Liaodong. Since receiving Sun Chengzong's order, his confidence has been sufficient all of a sudden.

led the army to sweep all the way, and whoever dared to oppose the grange along the way, the army did not hesitate to attack it.

In less than two days, he broke through more than 30 granges and recruited more than 1,500 people. The people, tied with ropes, were escorted by officials and left the village and set out on the road to build the city.

The people's deep memories have been awakened, how many of the conscripted hard labor can come back? Everyone knows the story of Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall, and I am afraid that I will never see it again.

Crying bitterly, the wife pulled her husband, the children surrounded their father, the gray-haired old man and the old woman, staring at the distant children, tears blurred their vision, everyone kept cursing in their hearts, hating to tear apart the harmful officers and soldiers, but how much strength they had in their hands, how to resist thousands of people!

The people silently gritted their teeth and pressed their resentment in their hearts.

However, the people in some places did not want to endure it, and when the more than ten granges around the Hua'er camp got the news, they immediately decided to unite, and five hundred militiamen, two thousand young and strong men, armed with sickles and hoes, stood at the head of the Hua'er camp, glaring angrily at the invading officers and soldiers.

"Come on, no matter who it is, I'll fight it!"

The silent, artemisia-like people finally bravely said no to the harsh government!

……

Forbidden City, celebrant of ceremonies.

"Nine thousand years old, something is wrong!"

The little eunuch ran in in a panic, and peeked to see that there was no Wei Zhongxian on the mahogany circle chair.

Suddenly, a voice came from the opposite room, "What's the big deal, it's worth shouting!" ”

With the voice, a big eunuch wearing a python robe walked out, and it was Zhang Ye, the master of ceremonies.

The little eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "The little one greets the ancestors." ”

"Get up."

"Yes, Qi Qi Ancestor, this is an urgent report from Liaodong."

Zhang Ye frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly took it, and after unfolding it, he glanced at ten lines and quickly browsed it.

"Alas, Sun Chengzong is a very stable person, how can he make such a big mess. actually forced the people to rebel, he doesn't know where the battlefield is, it's just nonsense! ”

As he was talking, Lao Wei walked in from the outside with his head down, and although his hat was pressed very low, he could see that his forehead was bruised.

Sitting in his chair, he suddenly grabbed the cup and shattered it one after another.

"Bastard Wang Balamb, dare to say that our family killed the son of the saint, give our family 10,000 guts, and our family can't do it!" Lao Wei said and dropped two more teacups in a row.

Zhang Ye suddenly laughed on the side.

"Senior brother, what do you mean, are you happy to see that I am unlucky?"

"No, no, Grandpa Wei, take a look at this, I promise to be happy." (To be continued......) R1292
