Is it necessary to dismiss a Jiliao Inspector because of a trivial matter? Huang Liji and the others were a little stunned.

Wang Zhichen, a Jinshi in the twenty-third year of Wanli, successively served as the governor of Jizhou, the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Jiliao, he can be regarded as an extremely old minister, how can he be dismissed so hastily?

However, seeing that Zhu Youzhen was so determined, and that someone really needed to be responsible for the Ningyuan mutiny, Huang Liji and the others could only agree.

But who should be allowed to succeed the king's ministers? Huang Liji and others all looked at Sun Chengzong, and there was no doubt that Sun Chengzong in front of him was the best candidate.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes also looked at Sun Chengzong, and he hesitated. Sun Chengzong is undoubtedly very stable, and he can definitely hold the defense line in western Liaoning, and he can also suppress the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in western Liaoning, but ......

"The minister recommended Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Liaodong, to replace Wang Zhichen to supervise Liaodong!" In the eyes of everyone, Sun Chengzong spoke, but he did not recommend himself, but recommended Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan? Huang Liji and the others nodded slightly, indeed, except for Sun Chengzong, there seems to be no one more suitable than Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan Tianqi three years to Liaodong, responsible for the repair of Ningyuan City, the next few years, successively appointed the military garrison to the left to participate in the politics of the front line in Liaodong, and the ministers together rebuilt Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, Youtun and Da, Xiaolinghe city defense, Tianqi six years, but also led the crowd in Ningyuan to defeat the attack of Jiannu, achieved a great victory in Ningyuan. If you are familiar with the defense of Liaodong, no one can match it. Sun Chengzong said solemnly.

Looking at Sun Chengzong's frank gaze, Zhu Youzhen was in a trance for a while, he remembered the previous life, he used Yuan Chonghuan as the supervisor, and then in just over a year, Jiannu broke the Great Wall from the north of Jizhou, successively defeated several Qinwang troops, hit the city of Beijing, and then raided the land of several mansions, plundered tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong as slaves, which made the world shake, and the hundreds of miles of defense line in western Liaoxi built with a lot of money became a joke. In a fit of anger, he ordered Yuan Chonghuan to be late......

But is Yuan Chonghuan really the culprit who broke through the barrier? Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and pondered, he suddenly remembered the evaluation of Yuan Chonghuan by later generations in those pictures he had seen.

Some people think that Yuan Chonghuan is a capable minister, Yuan Chonghuan will not die if the Ming Dynasty does not die, and they regard Yuan Chonghuan as Yue Fei and Song Gaozong who unjustly killed loyal ministers. Some people think that Yuan Chonghuan is exaggerated, he is a person who can only talk about rhetoric, he swore in front of the emperor that he would be in peace for five years, and just a year later, he was beaten by Jiannu outside the city of Jingshi, and it was not unjust to kill him at all!

In short, in the eyes of those later generations, Yuan Chonghuan was mixed. made Zhu Youzhen feel very complicated, and he didn't know whether to use Yuan Chonghuan again.

Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan supervising Liaodong and replacing him with someone else, such as Sun Chengzong in front of him, would Jiannu still be able to break through and enter?

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, his expression was a little gloomy, the answer is yes, the same will!

The first line of the Great Wall of Jibei, there are dozens of gaps that can be entered from outside the plug, and the defense line of the Great Wall of thousands of miles is full of loopholes, and the imperial court only paid attention to the defense line of Liaoxi in the past, and did not repair the defense line of the Great Wall of Jibei at all, and the defense was extremely poor. After all, outside the Great Wall of Jibei is the territory of the Mongols, and the Mongols have long lost the ability to attack the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the financial support of the imperial court for the 200-mile defense line in western Liaoning was still insufficient, and it was simply unable to renovate the Great Wall of Jibei......

But who would have thought that Jiannu would choose to bypass the defense line in western Liaoning, and detour through Mongolia by more than 1,000 miles of mountain roads, breaking through the north of Jibei.

Even if you can defend Jibei, there is still the same line of Xuanfu, thousands of miles of defense line on nine sides, and Jiannu can choose a place to invade at will, just like the Mongols back then, it is simply impossible to prevent it!

Zhu Youzhen realized that Yuan Chonghuan may have died unjustly......

So, should Yuan Chonghuan be used? Zhu Youzhen pondered, unable to make a decision for a long time.

Sun Chengzong and Huang Liji all looked at Zhu Youzhen, waiting for his decision.

"Let's summon Yuan Chonghuan to Beijing first, I want to ask about his strategy first." Zhu Youzhen finally said.

"What about the mutiny?" Huang Liji hurriedly asked.

Zhu Youzhen said angrily: "What else can I do, can I really investigate where the money and grain went?" First promised to pay a part of the salary to stabilize the situation, and then punish the troublemakers when the new overseer arrived. ”

"But this money and grain ......" Huang Li was a little embarrassed, and the household department would definitely pull it off again, saying that the treasury was empty and he couldn't get the silver.

"I've allocated 200,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury, and I'm all worried about my money, and I still have to train my troops." Zhu Youzhen said impatiently.

More than half of the silver that was confiscated from Wei Zhongxian's family property had been spent, but fortunately, he had copied King Fu's family property, but he had to recruit new soldiers, and the silver was pouring out like flowing water, and it was a headache to think about.

But fortunately, it is much better than when he first ascended the throne in the previous life, the mine supervisor and tax envoy have not been withdrawn, and he can get nearly one million taels of silver a year, plus the stolen silver confiscated, this life can barely get by. But we still have to open up new sources of money, whose home should I copy next?

Huang Liji and the others didn't care if Zhu Youzheng was unhappy, as long as he promised to transfer silver from the inner treasury.

After they left, Zhu You's inspector brought a map of Liaodong, a map drawn on parchment, several feet square, drawing the terrain of Ningjin, southern Liaoning, Liaoshen, all the way to Jianzhou and North Korea.

Looking at the map, Zhu Youzhen pondered, he was thinking about how to solve the problem of Jiannu invasion. In the last life, Jiannu invaded from Jibei again and again, looting Gyeonggi, Hebei, Shandong and other places, coupled with the rampant army of the Central Plains, the entire northern Ming Dynasty was almost beaten into ruins, so that the country finally perished.

At present, the displaced people in northern Shaanxi have not yet rebelled, as long as they are appeased, reduced or exempted from taxes, and the army is used to prevent it from happening, the hidden danger of the rebellion of the displaced people should be eliminated. But it's just that Jiannu is too difficult to solve. In frontal field battles, even if the border army is the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, it is probably not the opponent of Jiannu. If you can defend the city, Liaoxi is okay, there is the Ningjin defense line, there is the solidity of Shanhaiguan, and Jiannu cannot break through at all. But Jizhou and even Xuanfu Datong are different, thousands of miles of the Great Wall defense line is full of loopholes, and it is impossible to prevent the invasion of Jiannu!

Jiannu has always fed the war with war, and will not take care of the back road at all, once it is allowed to break in, it will inevitably run rampant in the territory, and it is almost impossible to defeat the expulsion. If the exile army takes advantage of the situation, it will be a copy of the previous life......

Therefore, we have to find a way to deal a heavy blow to Jiannu, so that it will no longer dare to have the idea of a detour to invade. And this, Yuan Chonghuan and others can't do it at all.

Fortunately, I still have the Praetorian New Army, and there is still more than a year before the invasion of Jiannu, so it's still too late!

Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and said: "Spread the decree, six hundred miles to Luoyang urgently, and pass on Lu Xiangsheng to Beijing!" ”
