Sun Chengzong is the core of the team after combining historical experience with truth and investigation according to realistic investigation.

For quite some time, he will be the best person to deal with the current situation.

Among the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, there are few doers who devote themselves to the country like him, and among these doers, no one knows more about the Guanning Army, Jiannu, and the many armies in Gyeonggi in the north than him.

Liaodong is only entrusted to Sun Chengzong's hands, and with the assistance of Yuan Keli, Chongzhen can be completely at ease.

Why is Yuan Keli only responsible for helping? Because he has an equally important task - to open up the sea frontier.

"It's time for a complete change of scenery to get a piece of wood into the sea. The Manchu Qing Dynasty competed with the Ming Dynasty everywhere, and even Emperor Kangxi dared to question Zhu Yuanzhang - did you see it? I am far better than Daming! Is it comparable? Not at all! That's it, why did even the blockade of the sea border surpass the Ming Dynasty, and thus evolved into a closed country? ”

Thinking of this, Chongzhen sneered and sighed secretly.

After going through so many things, Chongzhen really understands the truth that it is difficult to stand alone. No matter how energetic a person is, in the face of a wave of unsettled and rising times, he will be anxious and exhausted.

Chongzhen is too dependent on a certain person and some army, and when he suspects it, he goes to prison, and when he uses it, he can't see immediate results, which leads to repairing the west wall and making up the east wall, and even tearing down the west wall to make up the east wall.

Chongzhen didn't want to be that kind of lonely person himself, so he consciously created a team very early.

Although Yang He was born in Donglin, he couldn't be killed with one shot.

Donglin is not all boastful, and the eunuchs are not all flatterers.

In the comprehensive assessment, there are still many officials who can be used. Even if it is to be replaced, it must be done gradually.

The tumor must be excavated, and the scabies must be cured, but it is also necessary to consider whether the vicissitudes of the Ming giant can withstand it.

Moreover, after the battle in the northwest, Yang He, who is indeed talented but only a little naïve, has undergone great changes.

A person of great age can go one step further and become so solid.

It's unexpected, but for talents, he has always been a comer.

Inside the moon seemed to be a mischievous child, controlling the ball to hide in the clouds again.

A cold wind blew, the lights in the big study were turned off, and Dugu Ling flashed in at this time.

Chongjin turned around and stood with his hands in his hands to look at the hanging topographic map of Gyeonggi.

This is a masterpiece depicted by Chen Hongshou in detail with pen and ink based on the existing atlas of the Ministry of War, combined with the exploration of the professional topographic investigation team under Chongzhen, and Dong Qichang also played a lot of roles in this process.

These famous calligraphers and painters in the late Ming Dynasty were also whipped by Chongzhen to exert light and heat on the military and people's livelihood.

Rather than in the art of calligraphy and painting, he appreciates himself.

Chongzhen is very pleased that these literati and artists can produce these changes because of themselves.

"You're here." Chongzhen shouted without looking back, as if he had eyes behind him.

"Your Highness." Dugu Ling bowed and saluted.

Although Sun Chengzong and Yang He were old, they were still startled by this arrogant and slender figure, and he flashed in with the squinting of the cold wind, like a ghost, if he intended to assassinate him......

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes have many strange ambitions, don't worry, the second elder, your own people." Chongzhen turned around and said lightly.

His casual words that hit people's hearts finally shocked the two of them and admired them from the bottom of their hearts.

However, this was only the beginning, and the next conversation between Chongzhen and this person made the two of them shock for a long time.

"How does Yuan Chonghuan choose?" Chongzhen turned around and looked at the battle map again, and it seemed that the lines on it were always elusive.

Dugu Ling bowed down and said: "He ordered Zu Dashou to lead most of the foot cavalry to garrison the Lugou Bridge, and while guarding the Jingshi, he could also make Jiannu like a fish in the throat." He himself personally led 3,000 iron cavalry, and the soldiers did not leave him, and the men did not disarm, and only prepared dry food for five days......"

Hearing this, Yang He couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "Wonderful! The Lugou Bridge is an important passage to the northeast of Jingshi......"

Sun Chengzong was shocked, fell back to his seat, had a momentary gaffe, and muttered: "Chonghuan ......"

"Childish rope ......" Yang He called Sun Chengzong's expression in surprise, and then suddenly exclaimed, "Yuan Chonghuan is not going to ......"

Sun Chengzong closed his eyes and nodded: "That stubborn boy wants to repay the country with death and atone for his sins!" ”

"But His Highness said that merit and demerit cannot be offset ......"

"Or how else is it a stubborn brat?"

Chongzhen didn't look back, but he could feel the emotions that Sun Chengzong poured into Yuan Chonghuan, which was a little stronger than his eldest disciple Tianqishang, after all, they were partners who created the Guanning Defense Line together.

While Yuan Chonghuan became famous in Ningyuan, no one could forget Sun Chengzong's exploits.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this pair of masters and apprentices have the comradeship of carrying guns together.

Chongzhen still didn't turn back, even though Yuan Chonghuan was the first Ming civil official he got acquainted. However, the emperor is ruthless, and he wants to try more boldly, whether Yuan Chonghuan will bury his bones in this battle for various reasons.

However, Dugu Ling turned to Sun Chengzong, stepped forward and stroked him, and handed a letter to his big hand, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shuai heard that Master Sun had come to Beijing, and he was happy to show pain on his face, and immediately wrote a letter, and ordered the label to be presented to Master Sun. ”

Sun Chengzong opened his hands with a slight tremble, and read hoarsely: "A lifetime of career is empty, and half a lifetime of fame is in a dream."

After death, there is no worry about the brave generals, and the loyal soul still guards Liaodong. Elemental, Elemental......"

Yang He was also embarrassed when he heard this, and he said pertinently: "The element is indeed at fault in this battle, if it weren't for his stubborn march into Xiping Fort, which caused Wu Sangui's army to be defeated and his troops to be involved, maybe as soon as Huangtai Jifu broke through the Great Wall, he would be able to quickly enter the pass to intercept it, Zunhua City would not be breached, and the north would not be ruined." ”

Chongzhen suddenly turned around at this time, and was noncommittal about Sun Chengzong's sympathy card and Yang He's roundabout exculpation, and only looked at Dugu Ling: "How was the Tianxiong Army of the Daimyo Prefect Lu Xiangsheng created?" ”

Dugu Ling bowed sincerely and said: "Your Highness, Lu Gong's army lives up to the name of Tianxiong, although it is a new army, it is majestic and high-spirited, and it is gearing up, just wait for His Highness to give an order, and then go to Beijing." ”

"Lu Xiangsheng? The Celestial Hung Army? Yang He and Sun Chengzong were both stunned and looked at the two in disbelief.

But he heard Chongzhen and said: "What happened to Sun Chuanting's old Qin army? ”

"Sun Chuanting? Old Qin Jun? Old Qin, go to the national disaster together? The elderly Yang He and Sun Chengzong widened their eyes exaggeratedly.
