Chapter 265 Seven kills and one does not kill

Chongzhen was generous when he assigned official positions, but he was very stingy when he gave soldiers, horses, food and grass. There was no way, and a clever wife could not cook without rice. Chongzhen himself had no money, so where did he get the money for Sun Chuanting?

"The order was passed, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three borders of Shaanxi, was appointed as the Minister of War, and was given the Sword of Shangfang..."

"Wait." Zhu Cilang suddenly interrupted Emperor Chongzhen's words.

Chongzhen was stunned. Before he understood what his son meant, Zhu Cilang then said, "Father, my son has a few more words to ask General Sun."

At this moment, I was about to issue an order, but my son interrupted him. Emperor Chongzhen glared at his son in anger, but it was not easy to get angry.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Sun Chuanting: "General Sun, I ask you, what strategy do you have to defend against the enemy?"

Sun Chuanting did not, but he looked at Chongzhen and replied, "Five thousand elite soldiers are enough to defeat the thief."

The cycle of history is staged here again. Back then, Yuan Chonghuan's words of five years to pacify Liao, which made Emperor Chongzhen very happy. He gave Yuan Chonghuan the greatest power and supported the Ming Dynasty to pacify Liao. As a result, the last spring water of the river, Huangtai suddenly hit the city of Beijing.

Today, Sun Chuanting still follows Yuan Chonghuan's old path, and five thousand elite soldiers can defeat the thief.

Why did Sun Chuanting say this? He clearly knew that even if it was five thousand, even if it was five thousand or five hundred thousand elite soldiers, he might not be able to destroy the bandits of the Liaoyuan force.

Because Sun Chuanting also knew Chongzhen's temper, he was stubborn, suspicious and mean. If he didn't say that, he would not have won the trust of Chongzhen. He knew that five thousand elite soldiers were just dead, but it was not enough to put Li Zicheng's teeth in the middle of his life. But there was no way. Sun Chuanting didn't want to watch the Ming Dynasty gradually destruction in prison. He would rather die in the battlefield than be heartbroken anymore.

At first, when Chuanting was released, he would die if he died. Gu said to his successor wife, Mrs. Zhang, "What's the matter?" The wife said, "Why do you think of me?" When Xi'an was broken, Zhang led two daughters and three concubines to sink into the well. His eight-year-old son Shining quickly avoided the thief. His son went over the wall and fell into the house. An old man adopted him. The eldest son Shirui heard about it and went back to Qin. He found his wife's body in the well. His face seemed to be alive. The old man returned to his younger brother Shining and helped him back. Those who saw the road knew and knew and did not know were crying. Chuanting was fifty-one in the year when Chuanting died. Chuanting was defeated by rain. Some people said that the emperor had not died, so he did not give him a gift.

In other words, Sun Chuanting knew that he would die when he went to the army this time, but he was still determined. Historical records show that Sun Chuanting said that he would lead 5,000 elite soldiers to defeat the thief immediately, and Chongzhen was very satisfied with this. Sun Chuanting said this was a helpless move. Because he knew Chongzhen too well, if he didn't say that, Chongzhen would not let him go to war.

Fortunately, Zhu Cilang is standing in front of him now. Zhu Cilang said coldly: "Your 5,000 elite soldiers are inlaid with diamonds. Yang Sichang's 100,000 army is difficult to shake the bandits. The thieves have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under your command. What are you going to fight with just 5,000 elite soldiers?"

Zhu Cixuan's words changed Chongzhen's face. Sun Chuanting was even more helpless. He could only say: "How can a real man treat the prisoner again?"

Zhu Cilang understood Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting also understood Zhu Cilang. He understood the prince's kindness, but he also knew that Emperor Chongzhen had experienced the suspicion, so he would rather die in battle than be imprisoned for the second time.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang cursed angrily: "The courage of an ordinary man! You have only one skill and want to die for your own selfishness. Are you worthy of the court and the Ming Dynasty? Father, if this person fails, he cannot suppress the bandits, and the sons have misjudged the person."

Emperor Chongzhen was stunned when he heard this. Sun Chuanting said that his five thousand elite soldiers could defeat the thieves, and Chongzhen was very happy to hear it. But who knew that his son said that Sun Chuanting was the courage of an ordinary man and he could not destroy the bandits.

Sun Chuanting also lowered his head in shame, and he knelt down at Emperor Chongzhen: "My ministers, if they have the heart to repay the king and father, they will not be difficult to take on; if they have the matter of helping the country, they will have a long-term goal. I am mediocre and have been given a favor. Long live, I am determined to die, but I can trust me to call me?"

Zhu Cilang did not have the same sigh as he sighed, but he also knelt down at Emperor Chongzhen: "Father, General Sun can do it. However, the matter of eliminating bandits is not a day and night. My son asked his father and General Sun to support the military affairs of seven provinces, and was given the title of Minister of War, and the sword of Shangfang. Moreover, General Sun took office, no matter how he governed locally, he could not question and stop him. Whether he was fighting or defending, he would make decisions on his own, and the court would never interfere. Father, can you agree to this matter?"

Chongzhen hesitated, and Sun Chuanting said that he had the intention of loyalty to the emperor and the intention to die. However, can you really believe in the ministers?

Zhu Cixuan said that the full power of military affairs of the seven provinces was handed over to Sun Chuanting. No matter how Sun Chuanting acted in the local area, even if he killed someone and set fire, even if he couldn't hide, you could not stop him, even if he did anything. Can you do it?

This is very difficult, and for an emperor, it is very difficult. This is equivalent to giving all the military and political powers of the seven provinces of the Ming Dynasty to Sun Chuanting alone. Even Sun Chuanting is the local emperor of these seven provinces. No matter what Sun Chuanting does, even if he turns around and runs away when he sees Li Zicheng, you cannot interfere. Zhu Cilang wanted Chongzhen to trust Sun Chuanting unconditionally, which was that simple.

It was not that Emperor Chongzhen did not know his own personality shortcomings, but his nature could not be changed in a short while. But in the face of the current dilemma of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen thought about it and said, "Okay, I promise you. Sun Chuanting, no matter what you do, I will not interfere with you. I will hand over the Ming Dynasty to you and the world to you. I hope you don't let me down and not let the world down."

Sun Chuanting was so grateful that he wanted this sentence from Emperor Chongzhen. Only by gaining the unconditional trust of the emperor could he show his ambitions. As long as Chongzhen trusted himself, Sun Chuanting would be fully confident and smashed Li Zicheng.

"Sinner, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Qiansui, the prince!" Sun Chuanting knelt down and kowtowed to Chongzhen and Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cilang stood up and helped Sun Chuanting up: "I will give you a few more words: When you go, everyone in the world can kill you! Generals can be killed, officials can be killed, merchants can be killed, gentlemen can be killed, soldiers can be killed, vassal kings can be killed, scholars can be killed, but people can not be killed, you can remember it."

Zhu Cilang gave Sun Chuanting seven kills and one kill, but he wanted to save the crumbling Ming Dynasty. Except for the people, you can kill the rest. Generals who led the troops, officials of the Ming Dynasty, landlords and merchants, and even soldiers under his command. Even the descendants of the Zhu family, the scholars who regard themselves as noble, can kill them. You don’t need to ask the court for instructions.

But there is one thing, you cannot kill innocent poor people.

Chongzhen was shocked. He didn't expect his son to say this to Sun Chuanting and hand over the Ming Dynasty to Sun Chuanting. Is it really right?
