I am the carpenter king

() Sun Chengzong was very happy that Emperor Tianqi could listen in, and he continued: "The Han Emperor Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, and entrusted his sons as princes and kings. When this system was first established in the world, it did not expose any disadvantages. , but with the passage of time, the princes and kings have become more and more stubborn."

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi listened seriously, Sun Chengzong became more interested in talking, and said enthusiastically: "Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne at the age of 16", and said here that Sun Chengzong glanced at Emperor Tianqi. Knowing whether the person in front of me will do what Emperor Wu of Han did.

Suppressing his chaotic mood, Sun Chengzong continued: "Before this, there were six emperors in the Han Dynasty. Although Emperor Wendi Jingdi was a rare wise emperor, he left some family property for Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty and settled down The chaos of the Seven Kingdoms." Sun Chengzong couldn't help lamenting that the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty were different here. Although Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne at the same age as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at the age of 16, his previous two generations were not wise emperors.

"However, the entire Han Dynasty is still in jeopardy. There are vassal kings in the interior, and the representative is Liu An, the king of Huainan. Outside, there are powerful Xiongnu in the north. At that time, the Xiongnu had 60 armored soldiers and were good at fighting. In the south, there were In Baiyue, which is in chaos from time to time, in the east is Goguryeo composed of North Korea, Baekje, and Silla, and in the west is Congling and big names. When Emperor Wu of Han ascended the throne, the whole world was stable, but there were also internal and external troubles.” After so many years, Sun Chengzong He found that there were many similarities between this period of Ming Dynasty and the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.For the same external aggression, although there is no vassal chaos internally, there are serious party disputes above the court, and local officials are corrupt and incompetent, which can be said to be more than worse.

It was even more different when he heard these words in the ears of Emperor Tianqi. He knew the history and knew that the next few years would be full of natural disasters in Ming Dynasty.The Huaihe River flood and the severe drought in Shaanxi are very difficult problems.

In Emperor Tianqi's view, Sun Chengzong was setting goals for himself and setting an example.He told Emperor Tianqi that the Ming Dynasty at this time was very similar to the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Tianqi could become an emperor like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Sir, I know all this, can you please get straight to the point?" Emperor Tianqi naturally understood Sun Chengzong's thoughts, but he was not a 16-year-old child.There is no need to set up this idol, his goal is very ambitious.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Sun Chengzong knew that he was wrong. This His Majesty is not just a 16-year-old child.Now it seems that he has the demeanor of a wise gentleman, and has lofty ideals and ambitions.

"It's Your Majesty." He glanced at Emperor Tianqi apologetically, and Sun Chengzong continued: "What I want to talk about is about military strength. In the Han Dynasty, the strength of the Han army and the Xiongnu's army was very different. The army of the Han Dynasty Although the number is high, they have no advantage when fighting the Huns. Although they rely on the city gates to defend, they are always attacked by the Huns and kill the population."

Pointing to the map, Sun Chengzong continued: "This is somewhat similar to the situation in my Ming Dynasty. There are Mongols in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and Houjin people in the east. These are equivalent to the Huns. My Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the Han Dynasty, so We have a lot to learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's strategy against the Xiongnu."

"Although Daming and the Mongols are safe and sound for the time being, this is not a long-term matter. It is just to deal with Houjin. There are three forces on the entire battlefield. The first is my Daming, the second is Houjin, and the third is Houjin. They are Mongols." After glancing at Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong continued: "I would like to tell you for your Majesty that the composition of the military forces of the three parties is different. Mongolia and Houjin are mainly cavalry, which can quickly intersperse outside the Great Wall. Attack my Ming's border at will. My Ming's border is very long, and it is impossible to guard everything."

"The Ming army is mainly infantry, but infantry is not conducive to fighting outside the Great Wall. The vast grassland outside the Great Wall is very suitable for cavalry to gallop. Therefore, my Ming army can only guard in the city, so we are inherently weak. After every war, even if It was able to drive back Houjin, even with heavy casualties, but with the slaves and livestock he plundered, Houjin could quickly recover, while Daming was struggling to cope." Sighing softly, Sun Chengzong felt a little helpless, How many years have I had this idea, but who is willing to listen to me!

"It's almost the same as in the Han Dynasty. The Han army guarded the city, and every time the Huns came, they plundered. This way, the war became a war of attrition, endless. The grasslands and deserts were their home, and they regarded Ming Dynasty as their home." Where they can come to plunder at any time, my Ming Dynasty will become their granary. As time goes by, the situation will get worse and worse, and these vassal states around will do the same, and it will be a war of war." Put your own worries Having said it, Sun Chengzong felt a little relieved, since Emperor Tianqi likes to listen to himself, then he must seize the opportunity this time.

Glancing at the map and then at Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi said solemnly: "If Daming has no internal troubles, such consumption is nothing. After all, Daming has a vast territory and a large population. But it is not possible at this time. What is the world like?" There are people from all over the world, and they will sell Ming's things to the enemy. They are always poaching the corners of Daming, just like the Song Dynasty back then, sooner or later they will raise people outside the Great Wall. It's even a mess!"

"Your Majesty is wise, so we must adopt a strategy to solve this problem once and for all." Seeing that Emperor Tianqi knew so well, Sun Chengzong nodded slightly and agreed.

"Sir, continue to talk! Now that we have come to this point, what do you think, sir?" Naturally, Emperor Tianqi would not think that Sun Chengzong was just talking, this is a real man of action.

Nodding heavily, Sun Chengzong continued: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had this idea at the beginning, so he took many measures to deal with the Huns. One of the most important ones is to establish an expeditionary cavalry, to build a cavalry that can fight the Huns in the field. Cavalry, cavalry who dare to face the Huns."

"Ai Qing thinks we should do the same?" Emperor Tianqi seemed to understand a little bit, but this seemed to be a little different from his idea. What he wanted to build was a firearms unit for future generations.Thinking about it, it seems that there were cavalry during World War II, and this does not seem to be a conflict.Since Sun Chengzong has an idea, he might as well listen to it.
