Tianqi saw Sun Yuanhua's gaze and said with a smile: "Look at this crazy person's boldness."

Sun Yuanhua quickly apologized for guilt, Tianqi said indifferently: "I felt a cold and I felt a sudden cold in the front of me. The imperial doctor's pulse was all present, and my appearance was much cleared, but my health was already very good. Foreign ministers were not allowed to see me, so you can take a look."

"Yes." Sun Yuanhua replied in a naughty way, not knowing what to say is good.

Tianqi smiled and said, "This is a stupid scholar, but he knows military knowledge and cannon ears."

Tianqi asked: "You can go between Guanmen and the capital, and can the Yongping area be stable?"

Sun Yuanhua paused and said, "The place is quite peaceful."

"I heard that there are many refugees in Liaodong. They are so good at local areas, and local officials still have to comfort them?"

"I have seen many refugees, and many of them are hungry and cold in the streets. However, local officials and gentry have tried their best to appease them, but they are unable to make up their strength and cannot all be properly placed."

The Liao people in the local area have become a very serious problem, which brings an impact on the economy, people's livelihood and public security in various aspects. The government has effective or ineffective governments, but it is impossible for officials to resettle hundreds of thousands of people. The most miserable thing about the Liao people is that they are in the Denglai area, and almost everyone becomes beggars. The better is to go from Yongping area to the capital, the closer they are to the capital, the better.

The rich people among the real Liao people had long lived in the prefectures or capitals. They lived well, of course, they were not within the scope of Emperor Tianqi's inquiry.

Tianqi sighed lightly and asked a few more questions about Sun Yuanhua's journey back and forth to western Liaoning. The local customs and customs were used by the emperor to meet the ministers who did not often enter the palace, and he also used this to understand the people's sentiments.

Finally, the emperor said: "This time Ningyuan can defend, Sun Yuanhua made his first contribution. However, unfortunately, Juehua did not have the red cannons and had already fallen. Liaodong Jingluo and other reports that nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island were slaughtered by Jianlu. I heard the news and felt sad."

Sun Yuanhua said: "I was guilty of death and failed to cast cannons on Juehua Island."

Tianqi shook his head gently and said, "This matter is not your responsibility. The court's expenses are controlled by its own control. It is not a mistake to cast Ningyuan first and close the artillery. Juehua, this matter is Mr. Sun's fault. He failed to visit the island in person. He took it for granted that Juehua was an island and was not afraid of Jianlu's attack. He accumulated a large amount of military rations and supplies. It was useless to dig ice in the cold winter. Mr. Sun did not expect this layer."

Sun Yuanhua had a tide in his heart, knowing that the emperor must be very angry about Juehua's fall, and he was also quite dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong.

There is no way to defend Sun Chengzong. Juehua Island was indeed chosen by Sun Chengzong, and it was also determined by Sun Chengzong when he was regarded as a military storage base. This time the losses were so great that the soldiers who were mainly killed and injured were soldiers from the water camp in Liaodong. They were all veterans and old sailors who had been using for many years. It can be said that the losses of each battalion of the Liaodong Navy were extremely heavy and they would not be able to recover their vitality for many years.

The imperial court's naval forces in the north were mainly small boats, mainly water management system. Of course, their strength was not as good as the Fujian naval forces, which could fight outside the sea. However, the strength of the northern naval forces is that soldiers can take into account land warfare, and the soldiers of the naval troops were also part of the Liaozhen warship sequence, and they could use the naval troops to harass them in various parts of southern Liao at any time.

Yuan Keli was in charge of the restoration of Lushun and dispatched troops from all places, including the Dengzhou Navy, and the battle was very smooth in southern Liaoning, and the navy's contribution was not small.

Sun Yuanhua could only reluctantly say: "Mr. Sun has been resigned for more than half a year. The civil and military officials in Liao Town did not find anything wrong, and they were still too careless."

Tianqi knew that Sun Yuanhua was pointing the finger at Gao Di. After Gao Di took office, many people who sympathized with Donglin were quite dissatisfied with Gao Di, believing that this person had robbed Sun Chengzong of the position of Liaodong Risk, of course, including Sun Yuanhua. With Sun Chengzong's support and reuse of Sun Yuanhua, Sun Yuanhua must have been quite dissatisfied with Gao Di. The emperor regretted it in his heart and said something angry for a moment, afraid that Sun Yuanhua would write a letter to Master Sun. No matter what, the emperor did not want his former master to remain uneasy when he lived in his hometown.

"The Liaodong Prime Minister is responsible for this matter." Tianqi agreed and asked again: "I asked Sun Qing to come over. I want to ask. Ningyuan soldiers ahead reported that a gun bombarded several miles, and a slave was killed under the umbrella of the captain. The slaves cried and left. I want to know if this matter is possible?"

Sun Yuanhua subconsciously wanted to shake his head!

How is this possible?

According to reports, it was said that one shot was decayed for more than ten miles, which was simply a fool. It could not be said that even exaggerated. It was simply a pity. One shot could hit about three miles, and then the cannon would fall out of strength. Many people know that this is the red cannon. If it was a tiger squat cannon, a crow-mouth cannon, the range was only a few dozen steps. If it was a sixty step, these small cannons would be useless.

The range of the Flang machine does not exceed 150 steps, and it will have no lethality if it exceeds this distance.

The Red Cannon can have a strong killing effect in the middle of the distance. The effect is very average if it exceeds two miles. It is still an ideal state to hit three miles, but in fact it is generally less than two miles.

However, you can't just say this even if you say it to death. If you say it, you will offend the crowd. Sun Yuanhua is not very familiar with the world, but he is not stupid and will not commit suicide like this at least.

"I have not been able to visit the Ningyuan battlefield in person and dare not speak out."

In this case, Sun Yuanhua's answer was as best as possible. Of course, the emperor still heard the intention of refusal, and his heart sank, knowing that Ning Yuan's report was untrue.

But now is not the time to pursue the matter, Tianqi has recorded a account for Yuan Chonghuan in his heart. This man seemed to have some ability, but he was too bold. He not only dared to resist, but also dared to lie openly.

Gao Di's report also came. Of course, he attacked Yuan Chonghuan's disobedience and refused to withdraw the military and civilians of the Chinese army and the people. Gao Di's words were half-believing and half-doubted, but with Ning Yuan's incident, Emperor Tianqi had a very bad impression of Yuan Chonghuan.

Of course, it is necessary to reward merits. Yuan had been involved in politics in Ningqiandao before. He would definitely be promoted to governor after this battle. Due to his familiarity with the Liao affairs, he was of course the governor in Liaodong. Gao Di must not be kept. The new strategic position cannot be compared with Sun Chengzong in terms of prestige and ability. It is natural to restore the position of governor of Liaodong.

Just now, everyone in the cabinet and Li Chunye, the Minister of War, all had the same meaning.

It is good news to keep it quiet and to keep it in Ningyuan. The enemy cavalry must not spy on the closure gate. At least, it will lock Jianlu outside the corridor of western Liaoning, so that the capital can be safe without worries.

Below is the retreat of Jianlu, the imperial court restored the lost land in the Linghe area, and restored Jinzhou and Qiantun, Tashan and Xingshan forts, which cost a lot of money and grain. At the beginning, the Apocalypse was desperate to raise money and grain expenses, but later it felt frightened, and it was already numb when it came down.

There has become a bottomless pit, and you have to invest continuously. How can you know how to stop the loss in time when Emperor Tianqi’s experience, personality, and knowledge?

No one can tell whether Liaoxi should defend it. If Gaodi and Wang Zaijin's views were thrown out, the emperor would expect what would happen.

Even Emperor Tianqi himself could not be sure whether he would give up the ancestral land for hundreds of miles and give up completely outside the gate, or should he continue to stick to it like this?

However, since Ning Yuan had kept it, he could only continue to fill this pit. Otherwise, the emperor would give up the place where the soldiers in front of him had thrown their blood and guarded it. If this were the case, Tianqi would be completely terrible when he knew his reputation. Not only would it be even worse among the literati and doctors, but the common people would also think that the emperor would be in a hurry to deal with it, even Song Gaozong.

"well……"

Tianqi sighed, and he didn't know what it felt in his heart.

Several eunuchs lowered their heads, and they would rather not speak on such occasions.

The same is true for several cabinet masters in the cabinet. Gu Bingqian and others were originally responsible for the affairs of Wei Zhongxian, and their cabinet status has declined very significantly. Not to mention that compared with the cabinet in the Longwan period, even the cabinet before the fourth year of the Tianqi revelation is much stronger than it is now.

The huge pavilion was silent, and Sun Yuanhua couldn't speak out. He didn't have to look at it and knew that the pale-faced young emperor must be dazed in the throne.

The imperial throne is boundless and too big to lean on. The handrails on both sides are too far away to support them. The emperor can only sit upright. This is to maintain the emperor's majesty. Otherwise, if the emperor accidentally leans on or supports them when meeting the ministers, he will be regarded as the court of the unmanned ruler and criticized by the ministers.

There is no support, no one can solve problems... All the problems can only be decided by themselves, but the emperor is only a young man in his early twenties.

At this moment, Sun Yuanhua felt a little sympathetic to the emperor, but soon he felt his emotions were ridiculous again.

What you see is the emperor, the supreme, I want him to sympathize with you!

Fortunately, not long after, Emperor Tianqi spoke to Sun Yuanhua: "Sun Qing must remember that casting cannons is the first priority for the defense of western Liaoning. In the future, the court will increase the supply of money and grain. You will cast more red and barbarian cannons in western Liaoning. Each city and fortress must set up cannon defense. You must preside over this matter. I will strictly entrust all officials in western Liaoning to cooperate with casting cannons and not make any mistakes."

Officials in western Liaoning must not make mistakes, and of course Sun Yuanhua himself must not make mistakes.

Sun Yuanhua said: "I will do my best to cast more good red barbarian cannons for the Ming Dynasty so that the enemy cavalry can no longer offend our Ming Dynasty!"

Emperor Tianqi showed a satisfied smile on his face. Sun Yuanhua's guarantee was still very practical. It can be proved now that as long as the city was installed with cannons, Jianlu could not use strong attacks to capture the city. In this way, the gates and Ningyuan, and then to Jinzhou and Qiantun, these big cities could store military rations for the first half to one year. With cannons, even if they were able to defend them, even if they were very steadily, they could defend them.

Of course, this understanding is still very vague. Cannons are a powerful tool to change the form of war. Not only can they defend the city, but no one in the Ming Dynasty can understand this.

However, it is enough to be able to defend the city alone. From Kaiyuan Tieling to Guangning, the Ming army was not ashamed of defending the city. Now with cannons, the soldiers felt safe as long as they entered the city. They would not collapse again and all castles were abandoned.

After entering the hall, Sun Yuanhua first knelt down and bowed to speak, then stood up and bowed to speak, and finally knelt down when the match was played, bowing his head to answer. Later, he could not hear any movement for a long time, only the rustling sound of walking, and the sound of people's boots and clothes making at that time.

After a while, someone said, "Master Sun can get up, and the emperor has already retreated from the palace and returned to the inner court."
