The cold land in the northern part of the desert is naturally far less fertile than the Hetao grassland. Now it is because the Ming Dynasty vigorously develops Hetao, making it a granary for planting and grazing. This land is a temptation for any Mongolian tribe.

The naturalized governor was set up in Hetao, and the heavy troops were stationed in order to prevent Hetao from being coveted by others. Originally, the focus of defense was to escape to the west. After he was destroyed and the western Mongolia surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the focus of defense shifted to the Khalkha Mongolia in the north of the desert. Although there were Daqing Mountains separated, Hong Chengchou still sent him to the night to supervise the movements in the Khalkha.

If Hetao hadn't been in trouble and everything was in trouble, he even had the plan to send troops to Mobei. After all, the best defense was to use offense instead of defense.

Of course, even though Mongolia in the western region surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible to guard against it. However, this was the main responsibility of Baotou Governor Yang Sichang. He also sent nights to Mongolia in the western region, so that he could soon learn about Gushikhan's troops leaving.

After all the explanations were completed, Hong Chengchou led nearly 20,000 cavalry to march towards the eastern Mongolian grasslands. His army was all cavalry, which was the confidence of Hetao, some war horses!

At Shanhai Pass, the Ji Liao commander and the cabinet assistant Sun Chengzong led civil officials and military generals from Guanning to stand on the top of the city and look into the direction of the capital.

The sun gradually rises, and the soldiers and the soldiers are in charge of politics and the Zuo Yingxuan reported to Sun Chengzong: "Now that if you don't accept it tonight, you will report to the future. The emperor should be far away from Shanhaiguan. You might as well go to the Arrow Tower to rest first!"

"Yes, Master Ge, go and rest for a while!" The other officials also persuaded them one after another.

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look at them, and said with a smile: "Why, I think I am old? Let me tell you, I am much stronger than Lian Po! Some of you have less appetite than me!"

After saying with a smile, he turned around and looked at the distance of the official road again. His smile slowly disappeared, revealing an extremely serious and said slowly: "The Jianlu ravaged Liaodong, but my Ming Dynasty could only retreat to the Ningjin line. The entire Liaodong was lost. Faced with this situation, I really couldn't sleep at night. But unexpectedly, it was time for the emperor to personally lead the expedition and completely recapture Liaodong!"

Hearing his feelings, Sun Chengzong's subordinates were also silent, turned to look at the distance of the official road, and were filled with emotion in his heart.

When they faced the rampage of Jianlu, they felt that the pressure was really great. Sometimes, they even wondered whether Guan Ning could still save it? After the Prime Minister of Liaodong, the method to deal with Jianlu was to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty's strengths of defending the city and build the city from Daling River, and use this fortress tactic to fight against the rampage of Jianlu.

But they also know that, firstly, whether this method of building a city can be successfully built is a question. After all, Jianlu is not a fool, so how can you calmly build a city? Secondly, the cost of building a city is very high, and no one can think that the court can really afford to build a city one after another.

However, if this method of building a city was not used, the Ming Dynasty would not be the opponent of Jianlu in the wild. Passively being beaten, it would only lose one city after another. What is more likely is that Jianlu would bypass the natural danger of Shanhaiguan again and go to rob the pass. At that time, the officials stationed in Shanhaiguan mainly to prevent Jianlu must be responsible for this.

Before, who could have expected that such an unsolvable situation was beaten by the emperor through a series of means to arrogant Jianlu, now he can only defend passively, just like the Guanning Army back then. Unlike the Jianlu, the Ming Dynasty had a sharp weapon in his hands, namely the Red Barbarian Cannon. If Jianlu wanted to defend the city like the Guanning Army before, it would only lead to the end of the city being broken and the entire army was wiped out.

In Hedong and Hexi for thirty years, it was precisely because these civil servants and generals on the top of Shanhaiguan City had felt the rampant of Jianlu that they were now very moved. It was also for this reason that Sun Chengzong was willing to stand on the top of the city and thought about the scene where the imperial guards appeared in his sight. Otherwise, with his four dynasties, the identity of the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor of Heaven, would be enough to make him come out to greet him when the emperor arrived at the city of Shanhaiguan, and no one would say anything gossip.

At this time, Sun Chengzong had white hair and beards. The wind on the top of the city was a little strong, which made his white beard flutter. Now he is in his seventies. If in his original history, he had already been relieved of the defeat of Daling River and returned to the field, soon after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and attacked Gaoyang. He led his family and the people in the city to resist. After the city was broken, the whole family died for the country. Of course, on this plane, his fate had been completely changed.

Suddenly, Zuo Yingxuan pointed at the official road and said loudly: "Hey, it seems that the imperial guard is here!"

After all, Sun Chengzong was old. After looking at it for a while, he saw a fast horse galloping towards the official road. It was so fast that the imperial guards must have rushed back to report it.

Sure enough, the fast horse rushed over. Before he could reach the city of Shanhaiguan, he stood upright on the horse's back and shouted loudly: "The vanguard led by the emperor is less than five miles away from Shanhaiguan! The vanguard led by the emperor..."

Hearing this, the civil servants and generals on the city were so excited. The emperor was finally going to Shanhaiguan! Many of them, if they were normal, would not have the chance to meet the emperor, and now they are finally going to meet. Thinking of this, they are even more eager to see the emperor as soon as possible.

This is not to say that they will be promoted and rich when they see the emperor. But the current emperor has impressed them too deeply. They really want to see what this young emperor who reversed the situation in Liaodong with one hand and suppressed the Jianlu without the power to resist.

Even Sun Chengzong, who had already met the emperor, had the same thoughts. He had different positions and learned more than his subordinates. This is true. Even though he had experienced four dynasties and was well-read, he still admired the young Emperor Ming Dynasty very much.

The most critical move in the situation in Liaodong is actually to cut off the military supplies and information sources of the Jianlu of Liaodong. This matter is easy to say, but if you really do it, only the emperor with great courage and wisdom can do it. Even with Sun Chengzong's own qualifications, he cannot do this.

When the emperor didn't move, he was already moved, from the court to Shanxi, he was as noble as the chief minister and the left censor, and was as humble as the Shanxi merchants and the border guards. He secretly mobilized the Baigang army thousands of miles away and uprooted them all together. This method was so high that it had never been seen in all dynasties.

You should know that if such a big thing is not handled well, the counterattack of these people will be very powerful. Even the emperor may not be able to withstand these people's desperate counterattack.

However, the emperor finally did it. Not only did he get a lot of money, but he temporarily solved the problems of the border army's owed wages. Jianlu also became blind, deaf, and lacked food. The emperor's eyes were like a torch, so he grasped this point. Over the past few years, he has continuously attacked Jianlu's weaknesses, and achieved twice the result with half the effort, which has led to the great situation in Liaodong today!

While Sun Chengzong was recalling the past, he heard the people around him saying in surprise: "Here, come, have you seen it?"

Hearing the sound, he came back to his senses and looked closely. Sure enough, he saw an army coming here in the distance of the official road. Although the flag was far away, he could see clearly that it was the Ming national flag appointed by the emperor. Behind the national flag, it was the emperor's imperial canopy. The bright yellow color could be seen even though it was far away.

"Let's go, follow me to welcome me!" Sun Chengzong said without hesitation, and then took big steps. The speed of walking even made some young civil servants behind him have to take a few steps to keep up. At this time, Sun Chengzong was no worse than any young man!

Since leaving the capital, Emperor Chongzhen's imperial guards have been at the forefront of the army. Of course, there are naturally no warnings in front of him. However, from this, everyone along the way knew about the emperor's command in person.

The capital was once a disaster by Jianlu. Therefore, the people in the capital were deeply hated by Jianlu. I heard that the emperor personally conquered Liaodong. For a moment, there were thousands of people everywhere. Almost all the people ran to both sides of the official road to wait. They wanted to see the army that the imperial commanded in person, and even their emperor!

Originally, local officials were afraid that there would be uncontrollable scenes if there were too many people. However, how could Emperor Chongzhen allow them to prohibit the people from watching, and eventually the local army and yamen runners maintained order.

Although Emperor Chongzhen did not take out the emperor's ceremonial guard, a canopy could already explain his identity. And he was even wearing a golden helmet and armor, and he looked as majestic as a god. Compared with the others around him, he seemed particularly eye-catching. As long as the common people were not blind, they should know who their emperor was!

As a result, Emperor Chongzhen gained countless achievement values ​​along the way, and he even doubted whether the display of achievement values ​​would overflow due to insufficient digits. Looking at the massive achievement values ​​in the lower left corner of the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen was relieved that in this battle, the achievement values ​​can be used at will.

Seeing the world's No. 1 pass from afar, Emperor Chongzhen rode on his horse and couldn't help but sigh: So what if it is the world's No. 1 pass? Defending on enemy invasions and defending the country is never something that can be solved by defense alone. In the original history, the Qing Dynasty finally entered the Central Plains from then on, and eventually poisoned the world. As a result, China fell for nearly three hundred years, and whether it was technology, military or otherwise, it was abandoned by the whole world. In the end, even a small island country like Japan could ride on China as a blessing and power. It's really a pity and tragic!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the civil servants and generals standing on the side of the official road. The leader had white hair and beards, but was energetic, wearing a big red robe, which was the most eye-catching. He naturally recognized that this old man was Sun Chengzong.

At the same time, Sun Chengzong also led the civil servants and generals of Liaodong, all looking at Emperor Chongzhen. Their first impression was one word: wise and magical! Especially the emperor was young, wearing a golden helmet and a golden armor, and riding on a tall horse, which was really a dragon among people!

"Old minister Sun Chengzong, long live, long live, long live!" Sun Chengzong took the lead and welcomed the emperor.

"I am the one who is a soldier in Liaodong, and I am the one who is in charge of the political affairs. I welcome you..."

"The last general, General Ning Yuan, He Kegang, welcome..."

“…”

Sun Chengzong did not need to report his official title, but others reported their official positions and saluted the emperor together.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he smiled and jumped off his horse agilely, walked quickly to Sun Chengzong, stretched out his hands and said, "Sun Qing, please get up!"

After helping Sun Chengzong up, he ordered the others: "Everyone is calm!"

Sun Chengzong did not expect that the emperor would come to help him personally, so he naturally did not dare to be pretentious. He quickly stood up with the emperor's gesture and replied again: "Your Majesty's army is exhausted. The old minister has arranged the camp. Please rest for your life and take care of the dragon's body!"

"I am in good health, it's okay!" Emperor Chongzhen heard this and looked at Sun Chengzong with a smile and said, "It's Sun Qing, I want to know that Lian Po is old, can he still eat?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Chengzong laughed and immediately raised his head and replied: "Your Majesty has a mission. The old minister can carry a sword and get on the horse, kill into Shenyang City, and ask for the head of the slave chief!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen laughed, and the other ministers laughed. Unconsciously, a few conversations between the monarch and his ministers melted away the strangeness of these ministers when they first met the king.

Emperor Chongzhen then looked at Zuo Yingxuan and said with a smile: "Although Zuo Qing is a juren, I often hear about Zuo Qing's talent. I feel very relieved! The imperial examination is just a means of selecting talents, but it cannot determine the pillars of the country. Zuo Qing is an example. When this war is over, I will not care about my background and will definitely reward merits."

To be honest, the origin of a Juren made Zuo Yingxuan feel that he was inferior to others when he met his colleagues who were from Jinshi. At the same time, those who were from Jinshi may have lower official positions than him, but they also had their pride and circle.

Although he was promoted to military officials for the contribution of the Changli War to defend Changli, and was grateful to the holy grace and worked diligently and fulfilled his duties, the identity of a Juren was ultimately a pain in his heart. But what he did not expect was that the emperor came to him to speak after his elder Sun Ge Lao in full view of the public. In addition, he did not care about whether the Juren was not involved in the juren's words or not, and even encouraged him like this. Suddenly, he felt that his efforts were worth it. Whatever the Juren was born, and the emperor was grateful to him, this life would be enough!

Thinking of this, he wanted to be grateful for the ceremony, but was stopped by Emperor Chongzhen, so he smiled and asked, "I sent a group of scholars to come here to learn local governance in Liaodong with you. Now, I want to ask you, may you use it?"

This sentence is filled with confidence. This battle will definitely regain Liaodong. This group of officials will use it.
