After a while, Sun Chengzong came to his senses. He was originally energetic and seemed a little depressed. From this we can see that this incident had a big blow to him.

In fact, as an old minister who has led his troops for many years, the strategy he thought about was naturally carefully considered. There are still a few points in his strategy that were not written. If the emperor agrees with this strategy, he will add it.

Originally, when he was considering reinforcements, he thought about fighting Jianlu. His strategy was to build chariots, and reinforcements organized by the chariot battalion could fight Jianlu in field.

Also, every time a city is built, it will advance to Liaodong, and the land obtained from the Ming Dynasty will be increased by one point. Then, the Liao people will be recruited to reclaim military farms, which will solve or partially solve the grain problem.

If this strategy looks like this, it would be perfect. At least Sun Chengzong was very satisfied before meeting the saint.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's words of siege but not attacked, rejected this strategy. It is undeniable that the Ming army is unable to hedge against Jianlu in the field. However, if it is based on the chechang camp, it is a bit like defending the city, allowing Jianlu to attack.

But Jianlu is stupid! As the emperor said, if you dig the road and don’t attack the car camp you have set up, you will be eyeing it on the side, just waiting for your car camp to attack when it marchs again. At that time, the car camp’s defense was the weakest and could hardly be used as a support.

If the ches camp advance in a camp, the speed would be slower than the snail and could only move forward little by little. Before it could reach the ground, the food and grass brought by the army would probably have been exhausted, not to mention that Jianlu would not be so stupid that he would not be able to watch it. At least he would be able to harass and dig pits on the road at night, etc., to exhaust the reinforcements and be defeated if they were not defeated.

In the final analysis, without the ability to fight Jianlu, any other strategy is just empty talk.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is useless. Please choose another talent!" Sun Chengzong bowed deeply and his voice became much smaller.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he knew that his words had hit him a little harder. He smiled and comforted him: "Sun Qing, is there anyone more familiarity with the Liao affairs in the Ming Dynasty? We were just discussing it just now. If you have any problems, you can just solve the problem. How can you retreat because of the difficulty?"

Sun Chengzong was taught this lesson by the young man at this time, and his stubbornness suddenly emerged again. He couldn't help but blushed at what he said just now, and quickly lowered his head to cover up his disobedience. At the same time, he replied: "Your Majesty, the key now is to have a strong army that can truly fight against Jianlu! If so, I will use the city as a defense strategy! The construction of fortresses on the front line will naturally reserve military funds for the purpose of strengthening the army's attack. The purpose of the strategy is completely inconsistent!"

With a "bang", Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands suddenly and said excitedly: "Look, Sun Qing, this is not very good! You immediately explained the key point, it is worthy of being the pillar of my Ming Dynasty! Now, there is only one strong army, so just train a strong army!"

Sun Chengzong also thought of training another strong army. But he was the commander of the Ji Liao army and commanded the Guanning army. He had to always guard against Jianlu, so he had no energy to train a strong army. If the strong army was trained, it would be the year of the Monkey and Horse Month? After all, it would be impossible to form a strong army that could truly fight against Jianlu in a field.

Anything that involves fundamental changes, whether it is to train a strong army or not, is not easy. Even if it is the Qi family army during the Jiajing period, if someone thinks that Qi Jiguang can be trained alone, it is just the idea of ​​an unfamiliar young man!

At this time, when Sun Chengzong heard Emperor Chongzhen say this, his heart moved and remembered his previous order. He immediately understood a lot. He bowed and bowed and said, "What Your Majesty just said is that the acquisition of Shanxi merchants is used to train the new army into a strong army?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Not all, that money is mainly used to improve the national economy and people's livelihood, and can only be used to train new troops. In order to save time and money, I have issued an order to form the source of the new troops, and must be the elite of each army!"

Thinking of the previous decree, only the court could do this, which was considered as gathering the national strength of the Ming Dynasty to build a new army. However, Sun Chengzong's face was serious and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you must strengthen the army to draw elite troops from all armies. I hope your Majesty will be careful to consider this!"

"Of course, I am not that naive!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and replied seriously: "The reason I did this is because of the military common sense and combat skills of military soldiers, which can save time and energy, and spend more time on military discipline and the cultivation of generals. To this end, I decided to set up a martial arts lecture hall to train generals, and innovate the military system to inspire military soldiers..."

Listening to the young emperor talking about the new army's ideas, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be surprised. There were many of the statements that refreshed him and surprised him.

At this moment, Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen on the imperial throne, his age and experience were automatically ignored in his eyes. He was shocked. Is this a genius?

"...It's just a pity that the court has no money, so I would just form a firearm unit. However, the construction of excellent firearms, the training of military soldiers' firearms, the consumption of elixirs and the consumption of firearms is too great. Moreover, the firearms are not advanced enough to crush cold weapons, and they cannot carry more materials during marching and fighting. Even if there is a flintlock rifle, they cannot be immune to the influence of the weather. In this way, there is only a slow picture!"

Sun Chengzong had a great say in this regard. For large-scale operations, the logistics brought by the firearm army is a very serious problem. At present, the firearm army is actually conducive to defending but not good at attacking.

He also knew about the flintlock rifle. However, he did not think that the flintlock rifle could be equipped with an army because the firing component was difficult to build, and it would almost have a high fire silence rate, which was fatal on the battlefield. Therefore, although there is a flintlock rifle now, it is still just a toy for rich people. If Sun Chengzong had to choose it himself, he would rather choose a medlin gun.

However, he did not deny that it would be inevitable that firearms would replace cold weapons in the future, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not have been engaged in firearms. After all, there are countless benefits there.

Sun Chengzong was amazed by Emperor Chongzhen's clear understanding of firearms. To deal with Jianlu, he had to combine hot and cold, and gradually transform into firearms as His Majesty said.

When making military speeches, Sun Chengzong was still very qualified to put his age and experience. He immediately put forward a few suggestions. The king and his minister discussed the matter of the new army until dark.
