Chapter 58: Summoning Sun Chuanting

Zhu Youzhen summoned Lu Xiangsheng to have the idea of letting him supervise Liaodong at first, but now he naturally has no more. Lu Xiangsheng is a sword that leans on the sky, and he can't be allowed to go to Liaodong to entangle with the generals of the Liaoxi Army, but he should polish it diligently and inflict heavy losses on the enemy at critical moments!

At present, Zhu Youzhen told Lu Xiangsheng his intentions, and the two of them deduced together, and they both thought that the strategy was feasible. Of course, the premise is that Jiannu will bypass the Mongol invasion, and the new Janissary army will also have a combat force that can rival Jiannu at that time. Although Jiannu will go out to invade with all his might, the nest will not leave the left-behind people, and if the attacking army is not elite enough, I am afraid that even the Jiannu left-behind army will not be able to defeat it!

"Aiqing knows this matter well in her heart that it must be kept secret and not let the second person know about it." When Lu Xiangsheng was about to leave, Zhu Youzhen carefully instructed.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen knows the severity!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng left the palace, Zhu Youzhen leaned on the royal couch, let out a long breath, and only felt that all the strength in his body had been drained.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know much about military strategy, he didn't read the book of war before he became the emperor in the previous life, and then the world was in turmoil, thieves built slaves, and the Ming Dynasty didn't fight for a day, Zhu Youzhen had to read some military books, only in this way can he understand the relevant notes, but he only understands a little.

However, after four hundred years of soul travel, he heard many scholars' explanations of the situation in the late Ming Dynasty, and also saw a lot of so-called time-traveling novels, and he couldn't help but have some ideas in his mind, which led to the strategy he had just agreed with Lu Xiangsheng.

However, if the strategy is to succeed, it is not enough to rely on the new army of the Praetorian Guard, and the Ming army needs to respond from Liaoxi, and if Jiannu really invades Gyeonggi, someone needs to resist, otherwise the Gyeonggi Shufu will inevitably be beaten into a mess, and the people of Gyeonggi are innocent?

Liaoxi, Ning Jin, Zhu Youzhen sighed, should Yuan Chonghuan be used? He was still hesitating.

Yuan Chonghuan is very capable, and he has won several battles in the face of Jiannu, but he is too arrogant, he likes to make his own decisions when encountering problems, and he does many things beyond his authority, which makes Zhu Youzhen dislike. In the previous life, Zhu Youzhen had been tolerating Yuan Chonghuan, tolerating him to negotiate peace with Jiannu privately, and tolerating him to kill Mao Wenlong without permission, just to be able to pacify Liao for five years.

However, Yuan Chonghuan brought himself a great disappointment, the soldiers of Jiannu came to the city of Beijing, conquered the city, and hundreds of people were plundered to slaves outside the customs, all of which made Zhu Youzhen angry at that time, plus Liaoxi was run by Yuan Chonghuan into a monolith, Zu Dashou Those fierce generals only listened to Yuan Chonghuan, and did not even listen to their own will, all of this contributed to the final result, Ling Chi Yuan Chonghuan!

Sun Chengzong and others recommended Yuan Chonghuan, and Lu Xiangsheng also thought that Yuan Chonghuan was suitable to be a supervisor, but did Yuan Chonghuan really have to do it? Could it be that without Yuan Chonghuan, Liaoxi can't be kept? Not necessarily!

There are hundreds of fortresses on the Ningjin defense line, and Shanhaiguan is impregnable, and any general can defend it. In the last life, there was no Yuan Chonghuan, until the death of the Ming Dynasty, isn't Liaoxi still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty? In fact, when Jiannu chose to invade from Jibei, the Liaoxi defense line had lost more than half of its value.

Therefore, there is not much difference between whether there is Yuan Chonghuan in Liaoxi or not, and Liaoxi is related to whether his strategy can be realized, but Yuan Chonghuan likes to do it on his own!

This time, I'm going to use a true loyal and brave man! I let him attack, even if he knows that he is invincible, even if he knows that he is dead, he will not back down!

A person's name appeared in Zhu Youzhen's mind: "Someone is coming, Sun Chuanting of the Propaganda Department will see me!" ”

Sun Chuanting was in the yamen of the ministry, and soon came to the palace, bowing with doubts: "Weichen Sun Chuanting knocked to see Your Majesty." ”

"No courtesy." Zhu Youzhen said lightly, but his gaze at Sun Chuanting was extremely complicated.

In the last life, with the suicides of Yang Sichang, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others, the dismissal of those who were dismissed, the surrender of the enemy, and the death of the enemy, Sun Chuanting became the last pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the only candidate to resist the thief army.

Sun Chuanting did not live up to himself, starting from the governor of Shaanxi, he fought a bloody battle with the thief army, successively hit the thief, captured Gao Yingxiang, defeated Li Zicheng, and almost wiped out the Shaanxi thief! It's a pity that Jiannu invaded again, and I had to recall Sun Chuanting back to King Jingqin, so that the thieves could get a chance to breathe. It's a pity that I listened to the rumors and put him in prison, so that the thief army became more and more intense, and when I used him again, I was powerless to return to heaven......

Thinking back to the last few years of his last life, Zhu Youzhen's heart fluctuated, and in those years, he was left with a lot of pain and helpless and desperate struggles. At that time, his attitude towards Sun Chuanting was not as peaceful as it is now, but he always thought that Sun Chuanting had misled the country and lost the last elite of the Ming Dynasty, so that the thief army could no longer be controlled.

Thinking about it now, at that time, I may have been dazed by the successive defeats, and stubbornly believed that all civil officials were not good things, and I could no longer distinguish between good and bad loyalty.

Fortunately, I was reborn, and I have a new understanding of the past after hundreds of years of soul travel, and after seeing the comments of later generations, I also know which are the real loyal and fierce generals!

Sun Chuanting, in this life, I will no longer be suspicious, no longer bear you, and I hope you can be as loyal to the country as in the previous life!

"Your Majesty......" Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't speak for a long time, Wang Chengen on the side reminded softly.

Zhu Youzhen came back to his senses: "Sun Chuanting, do you know why I summoned you?" ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head: "Weichen doesn't know, please make it clear to Your Majesty." ”

worked well in the ministry, and suddenly a eunuch from the palace came to deliver a decree, saying that it was summoned by His Majesty, and Sun Chuanting said that he was very confused.

"I heard that you are familiar with military strategy, do you know the current situation in Liaodong?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment, raised his head and said: "The reason why the situation in Liaodong is bad is, in the eyes of the ministers, completely due to the corruption of the military system. Jiannu has a population of only hundreds of thousands, and the total number of Qiding is not 100,000, while the population of our Ming Dynasty is 100 million, and the total number of troops is dozens of times that of it. Generals invade military fields, embezzle military salaries, enslave soldiers, soldiers are poor, hungry, and like beggars, such combat strength is the opponent of slaves? In addition, the governor did not know the strategy of the army, and the general of the army was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, so that there was the defeat of Salhu and Hunhe, and Liaodong was lost! ”

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting's tone was so loud that he actually demoted all the generals on the Liaodong front, Zhu Youzhen was surprised and his spirit was also lifted, because Sun Chuanting said a lot of things to his heart.

Zhu Youzhen remembered that in the previous life, Sun Chuanting was recommended by Mao Sui, and he moved himself with words, so he appointed him as the governor of Shaanxi, responsible for encircling and suppressing the thieves, and Sun Chuanting quickly surprised himself and almost wiped out the thieves.

Now Sun Chuanting once again made a bold statement, which made Zhu Youzhen's spirit vibrate: "If you are put in charge of the war in Liaodong, what will you do?" ”
