After a while, Sun Chengzong came back to his senses.
He, who was originally full of energy, actually looked a little sluggish.
It can be seen from this that this incident really hit him hard.
In fact, speaking of it, as a veteran who has led troops for many years, the strategy he came up with was naturally well thought out.
There are still a few points that are not included in his strategy.
If the emperor agrees with this strategy, he will add to it.
Originally, when he was considering reinforcements, he had not thought about fighting Jianlu.
His strategy was to build chariots, and the reinforcements organized in chariot camps could fight the captives in the field.
Also, every time a city is built, it will advance one point to Liaodong, and the Ming Dynasty will gain one point more land.
Then Liao people were recruited to cultivate and farm fields, which could solve or partially solve the food problem.
If this strategy looks like this, it is perfect.
At least Sun Chengzong was very satisfied before meeting the saint.
However, Emperor Chongzhen rejected this strategy by simply encircling and not attacking.
It is undeniable that the Ming army is currently unable to compete with Jianlu in the field.
And if you rely on the chariot camp, it's a bit like defending a city and letting the Jianlu come to attack.
But Jianlu is stupid, as the emperor said, if you dig out the road, people will not attack the camp you have set up.
They will watch from the side and wait for you to attack when the camp resumes its march.
At that time, the defense of the camp is the weakest, almost It cannot be relied upon.
If the carriage camp were to move forward in the form of a camp, the speed would be slower than a snail.
It could only move forward bit by bit.
Before it reaches the end of the field, it is estimated that the food and fodder brought by the army will have been exhausted, not to mention that the Jianlu will not be able to move forward.
If you are stupid enough to stand still, at least harass them at night, dig holes in the roads, etc.
You can exhaust the reinforcements, and they will be defeated without fighting.
In the final analysis, without the ability to truly fight Jianlu, any other strategy is empty talk.
"Your Majesty, this old minister is of no use.
Your Majesty, please choose someone more capable."
Sun Chengzong bowed deeply and said in a much lower voice.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he knew that what he just said had hit him hard.
He smiled and comforted: "Sun Qing, is there anyone who is more familiar with Ming Dynasty than Qing when it comes to Liao affairs?
We were just discussing just now.
If there are problems, we can just solve them.
How can we shrink back because of difficulties?"
Sun Chengzong was taught such a lesson by the young man at this time, and the stubbornness in his bones suddenly emerged again.
He couldn't help but blush at what he had just said.
He quickly lowered his head to cover up his gaffe, and at the same time echoed: "Your Majesty, if The key now is that if there is a strong army that can truly fight against the invaders, I will use the city as a defense strategy and build forts on the front line to reserve military supplies for the purpose of a strong army offensive strategy. , completely opposite."
There was a "pop" sound, and Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly: "Look, Sun Qing, isn't this great?
Qing immediately told the key point.
It is worthy of being my great pillar of the Ming Dynasty.
Now, there is only one missing If you want to build a strong army, then you can build a strong army."
Sun Chengzong also thought about building a strong army.
But as the governor of Jiliao, he commanded the Guan Ning army.
He had to guard against the rebels at all times, so how could he have the energy to train a strong army.
If we wait for a strong army to be trained, it will take until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse to form a strong army that can truly fight the Jianlu in the field.
It will not be done just by talking on paper.
Anything that involves fundamental change, whether it's building a strong military or not, is never easy.

Even in the Qi Jiajun during the Jiajing period, if anyone thinks that Qi Jiguang can master it alone, that is just the idea of an inexperienced young man.
At this time, Sun Chengzong, when he heard what Emperor Chongzhen said, his heart moved.
He remembered the previous decree and understood a lot.
He immediately bowed and said: "What your Majesty just said, that the income obtained by the Shanxi merchants was to be used for the new The military is organized and trained into a strong army."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded first after hearing this, and then shook his head and said: "Not entirely, I mainly use that money to improve the national economy and people's livelihood, and can only use part of it to train the new army.
In order to save time and money, I have already spent some money on training the new army."
It is decreed that the sources of troops to form a new army must be the elite of each army."
Thinking of the previous decree, it is true that only the imperial court can do this.
It can be regarded as gathering the strength of the entire Ming Dynasty to build a new army.
However, Sun Chengzong's face was serious and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, a strong army is not just about recruiting the best from each army.
I hope your Majesty will consider this carefully."
"Of course, I'm not that naive."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and replied equally seriously: "The reason why I did this is because of the military common sense of the soldiers.
Combat skills can save time and energy, and spend more time on military discipline and Regarding the training of generals, I decided to establish a military lecture hall to train generals and innovate the military system to motivate soldiers."
Listening to the young emperor talking endlessly about the new army's ideas, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but be surprised.
There were many ideas in it that were new and surprising to him.
At this moment, Sun Chengzong looked at Emperor Chongzhen on the throne.
His eyes had automatically ignored his age and experience.
He was only shocked.
He was probably a genius.
"It's just a pity that the court has no money, otherwise I would just form a firearms unit.
But the production of sophisticated firearms, the firearms training of soldiers, the consumption of elixirs and firearms are too great, and the current firearms are not advanced enough.
It is impossible to crush cold weapons, it is impossible to carry more supplies during marching operations, and even if it has a flintlock, it cannot be affected by the weather.
In this way, we can only try to figure it out slowly."
Regarding this point, Sun Chengzong has a strong say.
For large-scale operations, the logistics caused by the firearms army is a very serious problem.
For now, the firearms army is actually good at defending but not good at attacking.
He also knew about the flintlock gun.
However, he did not think that the flintlock gun could be deployed in the army, because the firing part was very difficult to make, and the misfire rate would be very high, which would be fatal on the battlefield.
Therefore, although there are flintlock guns today, they are only playthings for the rich.
If Sun Chengzong had to choose, he would rather choose the matchlock gun.
However, he does not deny that it is an inevitable trend for firearms to replace cold weapons in the future, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not have been developing firearms.
After all, there are countless benefits.
Sun Chengzong was filled with admiration for Emperor Chongzhen's clear understanding of firearms.
To deal with Jianlu, we have to, as His Majesty said, combine hot and cold, and gradually and slowly transform into firearms.
When it came to military speeches, Sun Chengzong was quite qualified given his age and experience.
He immediately put forward some suggestions.
The monarch and his ministers discussed the matter of the new army until dark
