() Different from those Tongsheng who passed the old exam, Sun Chengzong has little talent and reputation, full of economics, and it is reasonable to say that he must have achieved his ambition at a young age, but he wasted half his life like this.

After being admitted as a Jinshi, Sun Chengzong ordered Hanlin as he wished, and the next step was to join the cabinet.But fate seems to have made a joke at this time. Sun Chengzong has been a Hanlin editor for 13 years, and Sun Chengzong is 56 years old at this time.

At this age, Sun Chengzong's good luck seems to have come, because he entered Zhan Shifu and taught Emperor Taichang, who was still the prince at that time, to study.I thought that once Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, he would be able to rise to the top and realize his ambitions, but fate seemed to play a joke with Sun Chengzong again.

Emperor Taichang had just ascended the throne for a month, and he died like this, and Sun Chengzong lost another chance like this.

It wasn't until the second year of Tianqi that this old man over half a century old won the first peak of his career. He became Minister of the Ministry of War, and finally became a cabinet scholar as he wished.At this time, Sun Chengzong inspected Liaodong, established the Ningyuan defense line, and prepared to show his ambitions.

But at this time, fate thought of Sun Chengzong again. He had only lived like this for four years, and Sun Chengzong finally attracted the attention of one person, that is Wei Zhongxian.Finally, the old man did not fight against the nine thousand years old, and was driven back home.

The days of being idle at home lasted until the second year of Chongzhen, when Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, and people seemed to think of this old man.Sun Chengzong was appointed as Liaodong Economic Strategy once, and he was in Liaodong to resist Huang Taiji.At this time, Sun Chengzong was 65 years old. For the ambition in his heart and the belief in his heart, this old man once again stood on the battlefield.

But this time Sun Chengzong was disappointed again. Two years later, when the situation in Liaodong stabilized, the old man was squeezed out by the Donglin Party and was driven back home again. At this time, Sun Chengzong was 67 years old.

This time, Sun Chengzong seemed to be really disappointed. He started to organize his things at home and wrote them all into a book.Perhaps, in the heart of the old man, this is the last way to display his ambition, the last thing he can do for the empire.At this time, this ill-fated old man did not give up his ideals.

Until the 11th year of Chongzhen, the old man was remembered again and was transferred to the front line to resist Dorgon. At this time, Sun Chengzong was 76 years old.For the belief and dream in his heart, this old man resolutely went to the battlefield.In the battle to defend Gaoyang, Sun Chengzong's six sons, two nephews, twelve grandsons and nephews died for the country, and more than forty members of his family were killed.

This 76-year-old old man fell on the road of his own struggle. Looking at the history of the late Ming Dynasty, we may think that Yuan Chonghuan's death was wronged.After his death, he was also labeled as a Han Jian. Until Emperor Tianqi crossed over, there was no conclusion to the debate on Yuan Chonghuan.

But in the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, the history of the late Ming Dynasty was a tragic history. From Xiong Tingbi to Yuan Chonghuan later, countless famous generals died unexpectedly.They didn't die in the war, most of them died in the assassination of insiders.Most of them died from the soft knives of their own people, such as Zu Dashou, such as Mangui, such as Cao Wenzhao.Perhaps we once complained that Wu Sangui was a traitor, but have we ever thought about how the emperor of Ming treated these generals who worked hard for Ming?To say that it is a cunning rabbit and a dead dog, or it sounds nice.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, who was the most active in surrender?It is those rich and wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and those Donglin Party who are full of righteousness.After the death of Emperor Chongzhen, Wu Sangui never surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. What he wanted to find was Li Zicheng.Perhaps in his view, even though Li Zicheng overthrew the Ming Dynasty, he could be regarded as an official who forced the people to rebel, which is justifiable.

How can I and Li Zicheng have the same origin, but how did Li Zicheng do it?Wu Sangui's wife was robbed, and Wu Sangui's parents were arrested. What can Wu Sangui do at a time like this?

Maybe when condemning these people, you can think about why they did this?And Sun Chengzong can be said to be the most tragic one among the ministers in the late Ming Dynasty.

In Emperor Tianqi's view, there was still hope for the Ming Dynasty, but because of the selfish Donglin Party and the incompetent emperors of the old Zhu family, all these generals were killed with hatred.Or when they died, they still went with the heart of serving the country and the people, and they may have very deep resentment in their hearts.

Looking at the old Sun Chengzong in front of him, or thinking about the experience of this minister, Emperor Tianqi felt a lot of emotion.Such a person who can save the country is unable to display his ambitions in his life. It has to be said that this is the tragedy of an era.

Suppressing his chaotic mood, Emperor Tianqi poured a glass of wine for Song Chengzong, and under Sun Chengzong's wry smile, drank a glass of wine with the old man.This may be Emperor Tianqi's apology for the old man and the emperors of the old Zhu's family.

"Sun Aiqing, I have been thinking about a question these days. How can I rejuvenate Daming? Can I still rejuvenate this country?" Looking at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi showed his weakness for the first time, and for the first time Doubt your own beliefs.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty will be able to do it." Sun Chengzong is very optimistic about Emperor Tianqi at this time, he is definitely a wise emperor, and he is the best emperor who can clearly understand the status quo.He will not be deceived by superficial things, and will not be swayed by other people's words. As long as he sticks to his beliefs, he will definitely be able to do it.

"I hope so!" After drinking a glass of wine lightly, Emperor Tianqi put down the cup in his hand and said, "I want to rectify the Beijing camp. The soldiers and horses of Ming Dynasty are already weak at this time, but the frontier army is beyond my reach. We can start with the Beijing camp first, I wonder if Sun Aiqing has any good suggestions?"

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to ask such a question, but he agreed with Emperor Tianqi's opinion that there are too many ills in this country.It has accumulated evils for a long time, and it cannot be turned over all at once, but can only be overcome bit by bit.It is necessary to start with the army. Only when you master the army can you talk about other things.It is also the best choice for the army to start from the Beijing camp. At this time, Sun Chengzong believed even more that the Emperor Apocalypse could rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty.By the side of such a Mingjun, I can definitely show my ambitions.

After pondering for a while, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, although there are many troops in the Beijing camp, there are not many soldiers capable of fighting. According to my understanding over the years, the main problems in the army are just a few points."

Today's [-]th update, a small explosion, I hope everyone will support a lot, two hours later, there will be another update!
