    Sun Chengzong naturally understood his thoughts very well, and he spoke eloquently. Since Emperor Tianqi showed such interest, he naturally spoke in more detail.  "Your Majesty, there is only one short-term goal, and that is to stabilize the situation in Liaodong. Firstly, to stabilize the morale of the military, and secondly, to stabilize the morale of the people in Liaodong. Liaodong is the gateway to the capital, with the Liaohe Plain with rich water and grass. If the imperial court wants  To build a combat-effective cavalry, horses are naturally indispensable. Liaodong is an indispensable place for raising horses, and the Ming Dynasty is indispensable." Sun Chengzong pointed at the large map, looking quite excited about building such a cavalry.  The cavalry was his dream.  Nodding slightly, Emperor Tianqi kept thinking in his mind that historically it was when Sun Chengzong was in Liaodong that the situation in Liaodong improved.  It was Sun Chengzong in front of him who established a cavalry team in Liaodong, which was the famous Guan Ning cavalry in history, the last cavalry worthy of the Ming Dynasty.  "Stabilizing the situation in Liaodong, consolidating border defenses, and establishing strong cavalry are all military measures. Liaodong is a remote place. With such a foundation in place, administrative reform can be implemented in Liaodong. It is remote and has strong resistance.  It will be relatively small, I believe there should be no problem. Even if there is some disclosure, the army will be at hand and the problem can be solved as soon as possible. I believe that once the situation stabilizes, the court will allocate money to build a horse farm and resume production in Liaodong.  It shouldn't be a big problem. In a year or two, when the situation in Liaodong is stable, there will be enough money and food, and supplying Liaodong's army should not be a problem." Emperor Tianqi lowered his head and murmured to himself.  Sun Chengzong on the side stopped talking when he saw Emperor Tianqi meditating. He just listened to Emperor Tianqi's words, and his heart suddenly became quite excited.  Emperor Tianqi not only agreed with his own opinions, but also seemed to be planning to reform Liaodong's system so that the original constraints and ties would no longer exist.  If he gets the full support of Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong is confident that he will transform Liaodong within three years.  Slowly kneeling on the ground, Sun Chengzong's face was quite serious and he said loudly: "Your Majesty is a wise master. Ministers in charge of Liaodong are invited to go, and your Majesty's wishes will be fulfilled." Sun Chengzong also gave all his opinions to  Giving it to Emperor Tianqi can save a lot of trouble, and the criticism of those people will not fall on him.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi walked to Sun Chengzong and helped him up. He said with some embarrassment: "Aiqing, as the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet, I can't bear to go to Liaodong at this time. Besides, sir, I am  Teacher, I can¡¯t bear to put my husband in danger. "Emperor Tianqi is acting, as the saying goes, Liu Bei beats the child to win people's hearts.  "Your Majesty, I thank you for not giving up and being able to serve by your majesty's side. This is my dream. Even if I die fighting for your majesty, I am willing to do so." Sun Chengzong did not get up, but still knelt on the ground and said with a serious expression.  .  "Sir, get up first, let me think about it!" Emperor Tianqi is very confused now. He has many ideas but doesn't know how to implement them. He really wants to calm down.  "Your Majesty, if I am not allowed to go to Liaodong, I will resign myself!" Although Sun Chengzong stood up, his words were very powerful. He would not miss such an opportunity.  At this time, he was also hot-headed, and he blurted out such words.  Shaking his head with a wry smile, Emperor Tianqi looked helplessly at Sun Chengzong in front of him, and had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll let Ai Qing go!" "Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm rude!" Sun Chengzong also noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly said  Emperor Tianqi saluted and said in a deep voice.  After waving to Sun Chengzong, Emperor Tianqi's eyes still fell on the map. He turned back to Sun Chengzong behind him and said, "Sir, look here." Following the place pointed by Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong looked over, and then  He was slightly stunned, because he was very familiar with that place. Where are Shanxi and Shaanxi?  I don¡¯t know what the young emperor thought of.  "Sir, I think it is not enough to have an iron cavalry in Liaodong. This is the land of Qin. The people of Qin have been brave and martial since ancient times, and it is a good source of soldiers. The most important thing is that it is backed by the vast Yellow River Plain.  The Hetao Plain is a famous place for horse breeding in ancient times. If a powerful cavalry is established here, the situation will be different. It can not only guard against the sneak attack of Hou Jin in Liaodong, but also attack at any time, which is strategically important.  Very proactive." Emperor Tianqi's eyes were fixed there at this time, not only to deal with Hou Jin and the Mongols, but also for Shaanxi and Shanxi.  A severe drought a few years later caused the people to live in disharmony and the peasant uprising broke out.  But the real reason is traceable. The officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces were corrupt, and the frontier army had even been forgotten in name only at that time.  The most important thing is that there is a major smuggler in the Ming Dynasty here, that is, Shanxi merchants.  In thisAt that time, due to the interruption of the Silk Road, most of the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces became big landowners.  In good times, these people may be able to become rich and enter the officialdom in a stable manner.  But there was a severe drought there, and many merchants had no choice but to start business.  Because of geographical restrictions, there is no advantage here in Jiangnan, and many industries cannot be engaged in.  In order to survive, these people started some illegal businesses.  That is smuggling, and the targets of smuggling are the Mongolian tribes and Houjin.  These people may not have thought that they did not die in the hands of the court, but in the hands of farmers and military households, which has to be said to be an irony.  Naturally, if you want to avoid such a thing, it is not possible. Of course, the Emperor of the Drought Drought is not expected to have never thought of it, because he can't do it.  The solution is to provide disaster relief, which requires solving several problems. The first is the food problem.  Emperor Tianqi thought about this problem and needed to promote several high-yielding crops and work hard to increase food production.  Although there is an impression in his memory, Emperor Tianqi does not understand the current agricultural situation. This can only be discussed later.  As for the second issue, it is the issue of officialdom in Shaanxi.  In history, Emperor Chongzhen mainly focused on appeasing the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, but it did not achieve any results.  Firstly, it was because the suppression was not in place, and secondly, it was because the relief was not in place.  All the grain distributed by the imperial court was stolen by unscrupulous businessmen and corrupt officials. These people naturally rebelled desperately if they could not survive.  Coupled with the instigation of people who were determined to rebel, the peasant uprising was naturally out of control.  There is another chapter in the evening, this is the second chapter.  Thank you book friends for the information, thank you for your support, I am very grateful!  Then please vote and collect!  Please please!
