After Yang Sichang returned to the capital, he quickly reported Su Tiancheng's plan.

The plan to attack Dalinghe City caused a lot of shock, and this time the report was in the Yangxin Palace, and it was not only Zhu Youzhen who heard it, but also all the cabinet ministers.

After Yang Sichang finished his report, there was silence in the Heart Cultivation Hall for a while, no one spoke, everyone was thinking, including Zhu Youzhen.

Although eight years have passed since the battle of the Daling River in Chongzhen's four years, no one will forget it, and in the hearts of Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chengzong, this matter will never be forgotten.

Because of the defeat of the Battle of Dalinghe, Sun Chengzong was forced to leave the imperial court, and since then he has stayed away from Jingshi, only to visit Su Tiancheng and participate in the affairs of the Zhongxing Society.

Zhu Youzhen's mood is even more complicated, the battle of the Daling River, originally he thought of a great opportunity to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, the original construction of the Daling River City, but also from the perspective of defending the Houjin, the Daling River is the forefront of the Guanning Jin defense line, the importance is self-evident, several times the construction, did not succeed, encountered the attack of the Houjin, and then broke out a decisive battle between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin, because of the battle of the Daling River, the situation of the Guanning Jin defense line, there have been fundamental changes, from this moment on, The Ming border army stationed in the Guanning Jin defense line, the turtle cowered in the city, did not dare to take the initiative to attack, even if the Houjin Tartars were free outside the city, they would not go out of the city and the Tartars for a decisive battle, not to mention that there was such a situation, even if the Tartars entered the pass from Datong Ningxia to loot, and the Ming army stationed in the Guanning Jin defense line still did not dare to enter the North Zhili to meet the Houjin Tartars.

This is not a strange situation. Despite this, Zhu Youzhen still had to meet the salary of the Liaodong Border Army, this huge army could not have another mutiny, and the painful lessons brought by the previous mutiny made the Ming Dynasty unbearable.

Now. Su Tiancheng, who had just arrived in Ningyuan, made a decision to take Dalinghe City.

Zhu Youzhen knows very well that Su Tiancheng will not make a decision easily, whether it is in the court or in the usual words, since he has expressed his position, he must do it, and now Su Tiancheng has expressed his position. If you want to take Dalinghe City, you must comprehensively consolidate the Guanningjin defense line, which shows that Su Tiancheng has a grasp and must do it.

Over the years, Su Tiancheng has done all the things he has said, especially the matter of exterminating the rogues.

Zhu Youzhen's intelligence system is also unusual. After Qin Liangyu shouldered the heavy task of completely exterminating the Liukou, he really completely exterminated the Liukou. It is still Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying, of course, there is also Qin Liangyu's credit in this.

It was also for this reason that Zhu Youzhen had full confidence, and he immediately arranged the military salaries needed by the household department and the Liaodong border army. No matter how difficult it is for the imperial court, it needs to be implemented, and it cannot be delinquent, and if anyone wants to deduct it, it will definitely be severely punished.

In fact, Zhu Youzhen does not need to emphasize. The matter involving Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying is clear to the officials in the imperial court, and they cannot be delayed, otherwise there will be times when they are really held accountable, and they will not be able to bear it.

Sun Chengzong's mood was even more complicated.

The battle of Daling River, is his heart disease, back then, he noticed the importance of the Daling River, proposed to build a city in the place of Daling River, to resist the invasion of the Houjin, this is a very wise decision, and the construction of the Guanning Jin defense line, can also be recorded in history, unfortunately, in the process of building the Dalinghe City, encountered many attacks by the Houjin, and finally when it was about to be completed, encountered a comprehensive attack by the Houjin, Huang Taiji personally led the army, attacked the Dalinghe City, the final result was that the Houjin won a complete victory, The Ming Dynasty was a complete failure, and what made Sun Chengzong depressed was that Houjin actually stationed troops in Dalinghe City, which was only more than forty miles away from Jinzhou City, and the sergeants who guarded Houjin and guarding Jinzhou were in a state of high pressure all the time.

Sun Chengzong dreamed of being able to recover Dalinghe City, which was not only a personal glory, but also involved the entire Guanningjin defense line of the Ming Dynasty.

After Su Tiancheng became the governor of Jiliao, the first thing he thought of was to recover Dalinghe City.

Such a choice is very correct, it has an unusual strategic vision, it is to see the importance of Dalinghe City, and it is to think of completely consolidating the Guanningjin defense line, strengthening its own strength, and preparing for a decisive battle with Houjin.

Sun Chengzong couldn't tell his feelings clearly, because of the battle of Dalinghe, he was forced to resign and leave the Beijing Division, although he said that he is now the first assistant of the cabinet, but the battle of Dalinghe is a thorn in his heart, which cannot be pulled out, and he will not be blinded.

Su Tiancheng's twists and turns are very detailed, including the time to prepare for the attack, and the estimated time to recover Dalinghe City, all of which are clear, and there is another layer of meaning for such twists and turns, that is, reaching out for money and silver.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after Sun Aiqing took office in Liaodong, the first thing, even if you recover Dalinghe City, I really didn't expect it, think about the last battle of Dalinghe, my Ming suffered heavy losses, at that time, internal and external difficulties, the invasion of Houjin, the harassment of the Liukou, I was almost all lost, all these years have passed, the Liukou has been completely exterminated, the biggest enemy of my Ming Dynasty is Houjin, if Su Aiqing can recover Dalinghe City, the significance is extraordinary."

Sun Chengzong stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Su's thinking is mature, Dalinghe City, less than fifty miles away from Jinzhou City, Houjin Tartars are accustomed to raids and long-distance raids, in this case, Houjin Tartars have been stationed in Dalinghe City for a long time, which poses a great threat to my Guanning Jin defense line, Houjin can garrison a small number of soldiers in Dalinghe City, but it has restrained most of my Ming Dynasty's border army, and in the long run, the problem will definitely break out."

"What Sun Aiqing said is very reasonable, Su Aiqing's decision is appropriate, and I fully agree with it, but I also know that making such a decision requires a lot of silver, and the life of the court is not easy, and my life is not easy, but the military salary of the border army still has to be implemented, and Sun Aiqing is directly responsible for the implementation of this matter."

"If you obey the order, you must supervise the implementation."

After returning to the mansion, Sun Chengzong was very excited.

When Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou came to the mansion, Sun Chengzong did not greet them, they still sat in the living room, bowed their heads and pondered.

The three entered the study.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that Kun Yuan's decision to take Da Ling River City is a very wise decision, but it is also a decision full of adventures, these days, Xia Guan also understands the situation of Da Ling River City, if Hou Jin strengthens the garrison, it is almost impossible to attack Da Ling River City, and it is not necessarily possible to achieve the goal after paying a heavy price."

Liu Zongzhou's words represent the thoughts of many people.

Sun Chengzong smiled and spoke.

"This matter, I have also thought about it, I think that Kun Yuan chose to take Dalinghe City, it is a little unbelievable, Dalinghe City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you pay a heavy price, you still can't recover Dalinghe City, the impact must be very great, but I have also thought about it, over the years, all the promises made by Kun Yuan have been fulfilled, which makes us not be able to doubt ah, if we can recover Dalinghe City, the impact will definitely be extraordinary."

Liu Zongzhou was originally a great Confucian and would not give in easily.

"My lord, the lower officials think, or don't be ambitious, hold Jinzhou, relying on the protection of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, it is impossible for Houjin Tartar to break through this line of defense, my Ming Dynasty has completely exterminated the Liukou, the minister's meaning, or to develop agriculture, so that the people have enough food and clothing, so that my Ming Dynasty is unprecedentedly strong, in this case, the capture of Dalinghe City, including the capture of Shenyang, can be done."

Sun Chengzong looked at Liu Zongzhou, obviously dissatisfied.

"Lord Liu, this point of view, the official does not dare to agree, this is like encountering robbers, I don't know whether Lu Dao should resist, or should improvise, resist, may encounter accidents, do not resist, the money has been robbed of all the money and there is no way to live in the future, in a dilemma, I have to do nothing, this is the most tragic ending."

"Abundant food and clothing, not so simple can be done, not a year or two years, I am afraid it will take a long time, in this case, if we blindly emphasize to strengthen the internal construction, we may lose a lot of fighters, we are working hard, Houjin is also working hard."

Liu Zongzhou nodded, indicating that he was convinced.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that Kun Yuan decided to attack Da Linghe City, this should be a secret matter, I don't know what Lu Dao is for Lu Kun Yuan has all leaked out, what is the purpose of this, is it possible that after Xiang Ze Houjin is fully guarded, my Daming sergeant has paid more casualties."

"The official doesn't know the reason for this, no matter what, the official believes in Kun Yuan, and taking Dalinghe City is just around the corner, Lord Liu, Lord Huang, Kun Yuan is in Liaodong to resist the Houjin Tartars, we are in the capital, we still have to find a way to help Kun Yuan."

"This is certain, Lord Huang and Xia Guan will definitely do their best."

Sun Chengzong was alone in the study, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou had been away for a while, at least for more than an hour, he had thoughts in his heart, although he didn't know how long Lu Dao could live when he was old, but as long as he had the opportunity, he would participate in the fight desperately, as for being able to recover Dalinghe City, for him Sun Chengzong, it had a special significance.

Sun Chengzong made up his mind, no matter how great the difficulties were, on the day he launched the attack, he would rush to Jinzhou no matter what, and watch my Jiangning regain Dalinghe City with his own eyes. (To be continued......)
