If you look at the problem like this, it would be too simple and shallow.

If the Later Jin Dynasty wants to attack the Ming Dynasty, the first thing to solve is its worries. It must make three preparations: to pacify Mongolia, subdue North Korea, and defeat Dongjiang Town.

Even if there is no Dongjiang Town yet, the other two goals have not been achieved, and the Ming army in western Liaoning has not reached the point where they were beaten to the point where they dared not to further.

Zhu Youxiao's heavy coastal support and strong support for Dongjiang Town was precisely a factor that prevented the Later Jin Dynasty from leaving the Chapel.

What made Zhu Youxiao feel pleased was that after hearing his explanation, Sun Chengzong gave strong support to Chongyanhai, believing that "the restoration of Liao is the only one who must be invested in the sea."

"After the examination, I appointed Master Yuan to Denglai to control Dengzhen and Dongjiang Town." Zhu Youxiao's wooden whip pointed at Denglai and said, "I already know that Master Yuan is here, and he is willing to go to the border with a sigh to relieve the dangers of the country and share my worries."

Sun Chengzong nodded in agreement and said, "It is necessary for Duke Yuan to suppress Denglai."

After pausing, Sun Chengzong bowed and said, "I ask myself to supervise Liaodong so that Your Majesty will no longer be concerned about border affairs."

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Sun Master, I have more important tasks to be undertaken by Mr. Sun, so there is no need to worry."

If Xiong Tingbi could defend Guangning, or if he could survive this war, Zhu Youxiao would still be preparing to hand over Liaodong to him.

It was because he was optimistic about Xiong Tingbi that Zhu Youxiao used historical knowledge to intervene in the Guangning War. He was for the people of Liaoxi and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and for Xiong Tingbi.

Zhu Youxiao wanted to stand by and take advantage of Guangning's defeat, which not only achieved an indescribable strategic contraction, but also allowed him to use the offense of Wang Huazhen to sweep away the Donglin Party.

But in addition to being cruel to do this, there is another problem that is difficult to solve. That is, Xiong Tingbi abandoned Liaodong in all, how to punish him?

Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not want to kill Xiong Tingbi, so he could be forgiven, and even proclaimed "to make meritorious service" again. Wouldn't it set a bad example for the Ming army, who was already afraid of the enemy and was good at fleeing?

It’s okay to abandon western Liaoning. If I lose a battle or lose a city, it shouldn’t be considered a big deal, right?

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not want to give some people reasons to be lucky. How can the country, law and military discipline be a joke?

In addition to Xiong Tingbi, Zhu Youxiao also had the idea of ​​inviting Sun Chengzong to the border. However, after several consultations and temptations, Zhu Youxiao gave up this idea.

There is no way, Sun Chengzong's Liaodong strategy does not conform to Zhu Youxiao's analysis and judgment.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi must have strategic differences. Will it cause trouble if they get together? Another farce of "Jingpu" disagreement?

As a literati, Sun Chengzong had a very rare tolerance and trust for military generals; he was considered the Donglin Party, but he did not have excessive party opinions.

Although Sun Chengzong did not have Xiong Tingbi's strategy and tactics, he was not as good as Lu Xiangsheng's martial arts courage, but he was worthy of the praise of famous officials and national heroes in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also needs to use it with different strategies. However, if people use their talents, they must use Sun Chengzong elsewhere.

"I will earn no more than three or four million next year. If I build a fortress in western Liaoning, and advance step by step, and station troops, how much does Sun's army think it will cost?"

Zhu Youxiao began to indirectly attack and let Sun Chengzong know his family's background first. If he could not increase his income, he would not be able to play with the fortress promotion tactics.

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and pondered without saying a word. After a while, he said uncertainly: "More than 100,000 people are enough. In addition, the construction of castles, armor, equipment, bows, arrows, cannons, cannons, and harbors will cost about one or two million every year."

One or two million burned the incense, and the Ming Dynasty in history may be able to last for a few more years.

Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly and shook his head. If he said that the cost of five or six million in western Liaoning in history, he would probably scare Teacher Sun's eyes off.

Besides, even one or two million is almost half the annual income of the imperial court. You are in trouble in the She'an Rebellion, you will not provide relief for natural disasters, and you will not practice the exhausted soldiers of the garrison...

"You can open a civilian army to save a lot of food and fodder." Sun Chengzong thought of a solution and spoke.

Yes, that's how you did it in western Liaoning.

But the so-called "expanding 400 miles of land, 5,000 hectares of garrisons, and earning 150,000 per year" is too far from the five or six million invested by the court every year?

Of course, Zhu Youxiao did not doubt Sun Chengzong's integrity and integrity, and knew that he was not the kind of person who wanted to make money by corruption by engaging in civil engineering projects.

But the reality is that maintaining the Guanning Jin defense line made the warlords in western Liaoning and fattening up a group of civil servants and generals, but it did not play the role it should have and the efficiency was extremely low.

Therefore, as long as the Liaoxi Fortress advances tactics begin to be implemented, the court will invest money in a hurry. From the six cabinet departments to local officials, I don’t know how many people will make money from it.

After tasting the sweetness, these corrupt officials will shout that Guan Ningjin’s defense line is good, that’s good, that’s good. If the enemy demolishes it, we will repair it, and if the walls are destroyed, we will come again!

If someone proposes to give up the Guanningjin defense line, corrupt officials will immediately attack him, and the ready-made big hat of "not thinking about progress, abandoning the land and fearing the enemy".

Then, the country's fiscal revenue and bloody people's fat will flow into this bottomless pit and continue to fill the pockets of corrupt officials.

Zhu Youchao's suggestion of Sun Chengzong's military farming was not discussed. He reached out to take out a war chess and placed it on Lushun, saying, "A fortress must be built here, and a large port must be built to become a steel fortress that will never fall."

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, looked at the sand table carefully, nodded in agreement, "Lushun is located in the east and the Bohai Sea in the west, and forms a horn with the Weihai Guard in Shandong, and is the gateway to Beijing and Tianjin. In order to prevent Japanese pirates, our dynasty once built a city block here, set up heavy troops, and set up the Jinzhou Zhongwei Station."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and stopped talking about military affairs. He asked Sun Chengzong to sit down and talked about the imperial examination.

The chief examiner of the examination is Yuan Keli and the deputy chief examiner Xu Guangqi; the examiner of the palace examination is Sun Chengzong and Grand Secretary Liu Yijing.

The palace examination strategy and the thesis questions were personally given by Zhu Youxiao, and even the strategy and the thesis questions were taken away by him.

"As for the topic, I have already thought about it, but it should not be leaked." Zhu Youxiao smiled a little proudly, and a little cunning. "I value practice and neglect empty talk, and emphasize ability and neglect articles. Master Sun knows the purpose of my talent this time."

Sun Chengzong stroked his beard and smiled, as if reminding, "Your Majesty uses the money to support the military exam, which is actually a benevolent monarch that has not been done in all dynasties. However, the test is imminent, will Your Majesty also show kindness to the Wen Ju?"

This - Zhu Youxiao touched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "Master Sun's words are very good, so I will think of it."
