Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 43 Yuan Chonghuan is wandering again
Zhu Tianqi immediately laughed loudly and said: "Master Yuan, I know you feel aggrieved. You resisted the Jian slaves in Liaodong and made a lot of contributions to the court. Even the Jian slave chief Nurhaci was killed by you with a red cannon." He was bombed to death, but in the end, the credit was taken away by the eunuchs, and instead he was impeached by the eunuchs.

It's not that I don't know about these things, I know it in my heart. But at that time, after all, the eunuchs were in power, and I couldn't punish them. So when I allowed you to resign and return home, it was a helpless move.

Now the time is ripe, the eunuchs have been eradicated by me, and I have rehabilitated you for the wrongs you suffered. As for the rewards that should belong to you, it is not too late for me to compensate you now, right? "

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He was obviously surprised, but on the surface, he just lowered his head and said: "Common people don't dare!"

What the emperor said to him sounded sincere, but after all, Yuan Chonghuan was not Sun Chengzong. He was not that familiar with the emperor, and he didn't know the emperor that well, so naturally he would not believe everything the emperor said. Maybe it’s just some nonsense to “win people’s hearts”!
Yuan Chonghuan shouted to resign as soon as he came up. Naturally, he came to this trick not just to complain and to ask for some compensation. Yuan Chonghuan had already thought about it before coming to the capital. Needless to say, the reason why the imperial court wanted to reinstate him was , must want him to defend Liaodong, after all, he has such glorious records as "Ningyuan Victory" and "Ningjin Victory".

Yuan Chonghuan was naturally interested in regaining Liaodong, but it would be meaningless if he was still fighting at the front as before, while ministers and emperors were constraining him from behind. So since the court now wanted something from him, he had to do well. Make demands and conditions to the court!

Anyway, Yuan Chonghuan has already made up his mind. If the emperor is willing to meet his demands, run Liaodong in his own way, and resist the establishment of slaves, then he will do it. If the emperor is reluctant to delegate power and support, then he will go back to his hometown to plant flowers and fish at worst. go!
Zhu Tianqi also saw that Yuan Chonghuan came prepared, so he didn't continue the topic just now, but raised his hand and said: "Okay, you get up first, sit down and chat with me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yuan Chonghuan stood up and sat down on a chair nearby.

Zhu Tianqi asked Wang Yuanbao to serve Yuan Chonghuan tea, and then he said: "I won't follow you in circles. I summoned you to the capital just because I want you to go to Liaodong again to resist the Jiannu slaves. What do you think? "

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan secretly said that it was just as I expected, but on the surface, he looked courteous. He raised his hand and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the common people have few talents and little knowledge. I am afraid that they will not be able to shoulder such an important responsibility!"

After hearing this, Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but smile and wave his hands, "Yuan Chonghuan, Yuan Chonghuan, how long are you going to act with me? In this Ming Dynasty, except you Yuan Chonghuan, who else can shoulder the important task of regaining Liaodong?"

Yuan Chonghuan quickly stood up and saluted: "The common people dare not deceive the emperor. It is indeed difficult for the common people to take on such a big responsibility. What the emperor just said was too high for the common people!"

Zhu Tianqi shook his head and smiled, raised his finger and pointed at Yuan Chonghuan, and said: "Okay, aren't you just afraid that someone will stop you from behind? Don't worry, the imperial court will definitely support you when you go to Pingliao this time. Whatever requests you have, you can also Just bring it up!"

Yuan Chonghuan had been waiting for these words from the emperor, and it sounded like the emperor was much more generous than he imagined. He hesitated for a moment, then took out a memorial from his sleeve, stood up and presented it with both hands: "Ping Liao I have been working out the strategy at home day and night during this period, and I have already written it down in a book. I respectfully invite the Emperor to read it!"

Wang Yuanbao hurried forward, picked up the memorial in Yuan Chonghuan's hand, and presented it to Zhu Tianqi with both hands.Zhu Tianqi picked up the memorial and browsed it for a while. It was almost the same as what was recorded in the history books. It was still the same tactics that Yuan Chonghuan inherited from Sun Chengzong, "Raise troops and stabilize the people, use Liao people to defend Liao territory, and use defense as offense." For such a strategic policy , Zhu Tianqi naturally recognized it.

Seeing that Zhu Tianqi was serious about it, Yuan Chonghuan thought that the emperor must have approved of his strategy of flattening the Liao Dynasty, and immediately became more confident, so he expressed his heart without any scruples: "The emperor is a wise emperor through the ages. If you are determined to regain In Liaodong, the matter of Ping Liao is definitely a certainty.

Now, Your Majesty, you have summoned me back from thousands of miles away. I am deeply grateful for this great kindness. If Your Majesty can trust me and follow your policies, I can promise you that the slaves will be wiped out within five years. Recover the Liao territory to repay the emperor's kindness! "

After hearing this, Zhu Tianqi, who was still serious, almost laughed. Yuan Chonghuan's "five-year period" was a famous scene. It is said that Chongzhen believed his nonsense at that time. Who knew what he was secretly doing? But he said this just to "consol the emperor". To put it bluntly, he was just bragging to make the emperor happy.

If Zhu Tianqi hadn't read the history books in advance and done enough homework, he would have believed Yuan Chonghuan's evil speech just now!
When the platform called for the right, during the half-time break, Xu Yuqing, a soldier from the military department, reminded Yuan Chonghuan about the incident, telling him, "The emperor is wise, how can he waste his right?"

Let Yuan Chonghuan, in order to find a way out for himself, desperately overcome difficulties and make demands in the second half. In this way, if the five-year period comes and he fails to pacify Liaodong, it can be said to be objective Due to the reasons, it can be considered that this matter can be solved.

But now Yuan Chonghuan is the only one present. I'm afraid no one has reminded him of this. Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This Yuan Chonghuan gets carried away easily when he is proud. He is indeed not a handsome guy!"

Regarding Liaodong, Zhu Tianqi has his own plans. Since he has recalled both Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, it is natural that Sun Chengzong will be the commander-in-chief and Yuan Chonghuan will be the main general. Sun Chengzong is more stable than Yuan Chonghuan, and the formulation of the overall strategy is related to Sun Chengzong must be in charge, while Yuan Chonghuan has strong execution ability and is more suitable to be responsible for specific offensive and defensive deployment matters.

However, although Sun Chengzong is Yuan Chonghuan's teacher, he should have no objection to letting Yuan Chonghuan continue to be Sun Chengzong's subordinate. However, considering that Yuan Chonghuan is now "satisfied", Zhu Tianqi is afraid that he will not accept anyone, and then he will follow Sun Chengzong. If something unpleasant happens, the generals don't get along, so there's no need to fight.

Therefore, Zhu Tianqi planned to give Yuan Chonghuan a beating first, to convince him that he would be honest and help Sun Chengzong!

Therefore, Zhu Tianqi did not clap his hands with excitement after hearing Yuan Chonghuan's heroic words about returning to the Liao Dynasty in five years like Emperor Chongzhen did in history. Instead, he slowly shook his head and said, "Five years? It's too long. I plan to Within two years, wipe out the Jiannu slaves and recover Liaodong!"

　In the new year, I wish you and your family good health, all the best, abundant financial resources, and good luck!
