Borrow the day to change the day

() Emperor Chongzhen is a little strange, didn't he just return to Daying in the morning, why did he come to see me again in the afternoon, could it be that the military situation has changed.Concerned, hurriedly summoned.

Sun Chengzong was still the same as usual, walking steadily into the Wenhua Palace.Then he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, and reported the good news in his loud voice: "Your Majesty, [-] to [-] Jiankui elites attacked Shanhaiguan the day before, returned in defeat, and went to Funing."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that the latest military situation was that Shanhaiguan was safe, it was good news since the establishment of the captives.

In fact, not only Emperor Chongzhen was worried before, but Sun Chengzong was also a little worried about whether Shanhaiguan could be held.The main reason is that since Jianlu entered the pass, the situation has been like a broken bamboo, and Lian Ke Zunhua, Yongping and other important military towns.If this Shanhaiguan cannot be guarded, the consequences will be disastrous.

Now Shanhaiguan has withstood the test, and the ending is still very good, so the slightest worry has been put down.

Emperor Chongzhen asked his servant to move a stool for Sun Chengzong to sit on, and then presented the Shanhaiguan victory report in Sun Chengzong's hand, and read it carefully.

After reading it, Emperor Chongzhen thought that Funing was not a military important place like Shanhaiguan, nor did it have the geographical advantage of being known as the first pass in the world, so he asked Sun Chengzong a little worriedly: "Master Sun, Jianlu Jingrui went to attack Funing. Ning, isn't Funing in danger?"

Sun Chengzong saw something from the good news in Shanhaiguan, so he came here to announce the good news to Emperor Chongzhen in person, and explained the situation by the way.

He replied to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Jianlu soldiers have been defeated, their morale is not high, and they have entered the pass for a long time, and they are eager to return. I am afraid that they will not be able to die if they attack the city again. Moreover, from the important town of Yongping The siege weapons obtained, those artillery have all been blown up at the Shanhai Pass. Therefore, as long as our army defends the city with all our heart, we will definitely not let Jianlu get his wish."

Sun Chengzong did not say clearly that Jianlu had robbed so many things from the barren Liaodong to the prosperous Gyeonggi, and he had long since lost his will to die.

A robber is a robber. When you are hungry, you will die if you grab it, but when you are full, you want to go back and enjoy it, and then you will work harder.

Now it's just that the aura of winning battles is still maintaining their fighting spirit, but when encountering setbacks, negative thoughts will soon be reflected.

"How does Master Sun know that the morale of the Jianlu is not high, and the attack will not be fatal? Logically speaking, the Jianlu is invincible, and the morale is probably high." Emperor Chongzhen obviously had his own thinking, not that Sun Chengzong believed everything he said.

"Before the Jianlu attacked Shanhaiguan, the morale might be high, but after seeing the danger of Shanhaiguan, the artillery they relied on was destroyed first, and the slave chieftains lost their will to attack, let alone the Jianlu below. Otherwise, there will be a fierce battle in Shanhaiguan Therefore, it can be seen that Jianlu has lost the will to dare to die." Sun Chengzong gave Emperor Chongzhen further analysis.

"That's good, Master Sun." Emperor Chongzhen hesitated for a while, and then said: "Since the Jianlu have no morale and no will to die, can we send troops to defeat them now?"

For as long as Jianlu was in Gyeonggi, the people of Ming Dynasty suffered from disasters for a day.One day after King Qin's army was in Beijing, prices continued to increase.Emperor Chongzhen checked the prices in the Dongchang newspaper every once in a while, and he was always worried.

I am afraid that the gains obtained from the confiscation a few days ago will not last long for King Qin's army and the refugees.

Sun Chengzong shook his head: "The time is not yet ripe. Jianlu's fighting spirit is much weaker than that of the previous period, but he is still a division of tigers and wolves. If he goes to attack, there will be a fierce battle in the field. It is not advisable to win. If King Qin’s army is defeated, the capital will be in danger. At least let the Jianlu hit the wall a few more times, and there are troops who are not afraid of Jianlu in field battles to withstand it. .In this way, there is another benefit."

"What's the benefit?" Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused.

"Jianlu's invasion this time is the army of the whole country. As long as we wait patiently, when the time is right, we will defeat Jianlu in one fell swoop in the capital, and then send troops to Liaodong with the prestige of victory. I am afraid that Japan will be flattened in the northeast." Emperor Chongzhen analyzed the benefits of waiting patiently and defeating Jianlu in one fell swoop in the capital.

If it is possible to turn the tables in one fell swoop and wipe out Jianlu, then it is worth the price paid by the people in the capital.

Emperor Chongzhen knew that Sun Chengzong was advising himself to be patient and wait for an opportunity.

It sounds reasonable, and the prospects are good, very attractive.Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "Master Sun, I understand. If I grit my teeth and insist, no matter what, I will ensure that the logistics of King Qin's army are worry-free."

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he wondered if he would catch a few more corrupt officials and search his home to deal with it for a while.However, this thought just passed by in a flash, and I didn't think about it deeply.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen understood what he meant, Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Chongzhen remembered what Sun Chengzong had said about the field troops just now, and asked him, "I will send people to Xichuan again to see where the general Qin is?"

Sun Chengzong knew the mood of Emperor Chongzhen, so it was all right to send someone there, so he agreed: "I think it's okay, I know the Qin army's itinerary as soon as possible, so I can make preparations as soon as possible."

"Master Sun, you should also know the situation in the Beijing camp. It has been rotten there and has not been rectified. You and Master Zhong are my most trusted ministers. But he is still young and has never been in the Ming army. No. Therefore, he gave me some suggestions for the Beijing camp, and Master Sun will see if it is feasible." Emperor Chongzhen had nothing to say for a while, thinking of his own heart disease, he asked Sun Chengzong.

When Sun Chengzong heard it, the figure of Zhong Jinwei was printed in his mind. He wondered what idea this ghost had come up with, so he asked, "I don't know what idea Uncle Zhongxing has?"

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen first asked all the maids in the palace to withdraw.Ever since the case of leaking secrets from his servant Wang Xuan, Emperor Chongzhen would do this when he wanted to talk about some important topics.Although there is a confidentiality system implemented, it is still more reassuring to do so.

After all the servants and maids left the palace, Emperor Chongzhen told Sun Chengzong about Zhong Jinwei's proposal to the Beijing camp that day.

Sun Chengzong nodded as he listened again. This Zhongxing Bo was far-sighted. Before the King Qin's army started fighting with Jianlu, he was already focusing on solving the threat of self-respect of the general soldiers in various places after the war, and he could also create a strong Beijing army.

After Sun Chengzong and Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, they expressed their views: "Your Majesty, what Uncle Zhongxing said kills two birds with one stone, I think it is advisable. But it must be kept secret to avoid instability in the army."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw that the old and stable Sun Chengzong also agreed with this policy, he no longer worried.

"As for the details of the specific implementation, such as how many elite soldiers will be transferred from various walks of life, it will be determined after the war. The transferred generals can be assigned to martial arts. After graduation, it will be a matter of course. Rearrange accordingly." Sun Chengzong added the details.

"Okay, what Master Sun said is right." Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then he said: "Master Zhong also asked me to let him train the most powerful army in the world. I don't know what Master Sun thinks?"
