Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 22 Determination to restore Liaoning
After hearing this, Sun Chengzong was even more surprised, because it sounded like the emperor had always been a sensible person and had not been deceived by Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs. Could it be said that the emperor was acting in the past and was Tao Huizhi? count?

Sun Chengzong also heard some rumors about the emperor being seriously ill, and then suddenly recovering from the illness, and that he seemed to be a different person after recovery, but it was just that seeing it was worse than seeing it. The emperor in front of him was completely consistent with the image in his mind. No number!
However, although he was extremely surprised in his heart, Sun Chengzong was still very respectful on the surface. He pretended to be frightened and replied: "How dare you care about me? Your Majesty is so concerned about me. I am very grateful!"

Zhu Tianqi knew that Sun Chengzong had been in official circles all his life and was a well-rounded person, so he stopped saying these polite words to Sun Chengzong and went straight to the topic and said: "I have only one purpose in recalling you, teacher, to the capital this time, and that is Recover Liaodong!"

After saying this, he looked at Sun Chengzong and asked, "I want you to come out of the mountain again, Master, and supervise Ji Liao. I don't know if you are willing, Teacher!"

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Tianqi in shock, and for a while he didn't know how to answer. The emperor had always said that he wanted to recover Liaodong, but because of the eunuchs' obstruction, it was difficult to make progress in the battle against Liaodong. Because of the military expenses of Liaodong, many ministers repeatedly went to the evacuation, requesting to abandon the Ningjin line of defense and retreat to Shanhaiguan.

As for the emperor, he has always been hesitant, and he has never said so firmly that he will regain Liaodong like today. Therefore, Sun Chengzong didn't know whether Zhu Tianqi was acting on a whim or if he had really made up his mind. After agreeing for the first time, whether it can be accomplished, or it will give up halfway again and fall short of the success.

Zhu Tianqi naturally saw through Sun Chengzong's thoughts. In fact, it would have been the same for anyone else. He had worked hard on the front line and worked hard for many years, and finally achieved some results. However, there was a fire in the backyard and he was held back by his own family. All his previous efforts were wasted. , and was impeached by a treacherous villain. Who can not be disappointed?

So before Sun Chengzong could speak, Zhu Tianqi said resolutely: "Teacher, please don't worry, I will fully support you in regaining Liaodong this time. Now that the eunuch party has been destroyed, no one will dare to hinder the restoration of Liaodong. If it happens in the future, If anyone dares to impeach anyone or discuss the Liaodong war, I will send them to the front line to see if they can use their sharp tongue to criticize the rebels!"

After hearing these words, Sun Chengzong finally stopped hesitating. He was a little disheartened, but once again his fighting spirit was ignited, and tears filled his eyes unconsciously. He got up and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and shouted: "Expelling Jiannu and pacifying Liaodong is the wish of my life. Thanks to His Majesty's trust, I will definitely live up to the emperor's grace. I will do my best and die!"

Zhu Tianqi nodded slowly, and his impassioned words made him very excited.

After helping Sun Chengzong up, Zhu Tianqi did not forget to comfort him: "Teacher, you don't have to be under too much pressure. I still approve of your previous fortress tactics. It is not advisable to be too hasty in recovering Liaodong. We should still take steps, gradually encroach, and wait for the opportunity." When we are mature, if we can defeat Liaodong in one fell swoop, great things will happen!"

"Your Majesty, you actually have such an opinion on the strategy of the minister..." Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Tianqi in amazement, feeling even more incredible. The emperor in his impression, let alone discussing "fortress tactics" with him, except Playing with wood, I don't seem to care about other things, let alone any tactics!

Seemingly aware of his rudeness, Sun Chengzong hurriedly saluted: "I obey your decree. Your Majesty's instructions will be kept in mind!"

In fact, Zhu Tianqi deliberately mentioned the words of "fortress tactics" to Sun Chengzong, not because he really had a deep understanding of Sun Chengzong's strategic deployment, but because he was worried that he would suddenly entrust Sun Chengzong with a heavy responsibility. Sun Chengzong was deeply favored by the emperor and was grateful In my heart, no matter how eager I was for success, I changed my original strategy and ended up causing some trouble, so I specially ordered it.

Zhu Tianqi nodded to Sun Chengzong, and then said: "I have also called Yuan Chonghuan back, and he should arrive in the capital in a few days. At that time, I will arrange duties for you together and let him be your deputy. You two, teachers and students, work together, and I believe that if you are just a slave, you will be able to catch it!" Sun Chengzong couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard this, originally he wanted to mention this matter, but now it seems that the emperor has already made a proper decision. According to the deployment arrangement, he closed his mouth knowingly.

"Okay, let's not talk about state affairs today. Teacher, you have just returned to the capital. How about you stay in the palace and have dinner with me today, so that I can take care of you?" Zhu Tianqi waved his hand and turned around. He turned around and asked with a smile.

But Sun Chengzong smiled and shook his head, gave a salute and said: "I accept your Majesty's kindness with heart. However, now that Jiannu has not been destroyed and Liaodong is not at peace, I really have no shame in accepting such courtesy. I also ask your Majesty to take back your order. Let me go back and make some preparations, and after I regain Liaodong, I can have a few drinks with His Majesty!"

"Okay! Then wait until Liaodong is pacified, and then I will hold a celebration banquet for you, teacher. We will get drunk and then rest!" Zhu Tianqi also nodded immediately without forcing him to stay, and then told Wang Yuanbao: "Wang Yuan Bao, send the teacher off for me!"

"Your servant obeys the order!" Wang Yuanbao hastily saluted, turned sideways, and said to Sun Chengzong: "Master Sun, please!"

Sun Chengzong saluted Zhu Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Then, as Wang Yuanbao strode out of the palace gate, Sun Chengzong felt more refreshed and contented than when he entered the palace, as if he was much younger!

After Zhu Tianqi met Sun Chengzong, he also felt more confident in regaining Liaodong. However, this matter could not be ignored at all, so he could not just place his hopes on Sun Chengzong. To deal with Hou Jin, not only must he rely on appropriate strategies and tactics, but also rely on appropriate strategies and tactics. It also requires absolute suppression in terms of combat effectiveness.

And this "combat power" naturally refers to the Hongyi cannon, and regarding the purchase and development of cannons, we still have to rely on another pair of masters and apprentices-Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua!

Therefore, Zhu Tianqi did not plan to send anyone out in advance before everyone arrived. He had to make centralized arrangements and then let them each take office and complete their missions!
Besides the war in Liaodong, Zhu Tianqi also needed the four of them to help him with other things. Although these things may not sound as important as the war, they are no less important to the future of the Ming Dynasty than the war in Liaodong.
