Delicious food!
Fine wine!
It could always enhance friendship and promote a harmonious atmosphere!
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Viceroy Sun Chengzong gradually developed an appreciation for the young man beside him!
Fujian Province was located in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty. It had been harassed by pirates and pirates for generations. After Yuan Chonghuan arrived in Shaowu County, he often went to the military camp to solve the problem. He ate and lived with the veterans, talked about the art of war, and understood the problems of both sides!
The advantage of pirates and pirates was that they were mobile and ran away after looting!
The disadvantage was that their discipline was poor, and it was difficult for them to form an organized attack.
The advantage of the Great Ming Navy was their strong discipline. They could always guarantee their combat effectiveness in a large-scale chaotic battle!
The disadvantage was obvious. The target was fixed and had poor mobility. The raiders would only reach the looting location after they ran away!
As for the pursuit on the sea, the raiders were more aware of the hidden reefs and undercurrents than the Ming Navy. They used their natural advantage to effortlessly cause the Ming Navy to suffer heavy casualties!
After a few times, the admiral completely gave up on the pursuit on the sea. As a result, the raiders became even more rampant, and the people near the sea suffered!
Yuan Chonghuan, who had a thorough understanding of the situation, chose the strategy of exterminating all households, which shocked the officialdom of Fujian Province. He ordered the ramparts to be fortified and the wilderness to be cleared, so that the raiders could not rob the people!
Of course, it wasn't just the Fujian officialdom that was shaken, but also the pirates at sea. As revenge, the pirates gathered a dozen large ships and charged straight at Shaowu!
In reality, although they were moving the people, they were actually trying to lure the Japanese pirates into the trap. After the Japanese pirates had gone ashore for dozens of miles, the Ming Navy had ambushed them and beheaded thousands of Japanese pirates, causing the entire Fujian Sea to enter a short period of peace!
"False and true, Minister Yuan seems to know a lot about the art of war?”
Sun Chengzong held Yuan Chonghuan's hand, and the more he looked at him, the more he found him pleasing to the eye. As he praised him, he recalled if there were any girls in the clan who were not married yet. Although Yuan Chonghuan was not young, he was an undiscovered treasure!
In the officialdom, apart from father, son, and brother, what was the closest relationship? Of course, it was in-laws!
"I've read the art of war for a few days, but I don't understand it!”
In front of the group of virtuous officials, Yuan Chonghuan became humble and said in shame,""The strategy of eliminating the family was actually thought of by a retired soldier. I especially like to discuss the art of war with others. I was inspired by it by chance and solved the threat of Fujian's sea!”
Hearing this, the virtuous officials present were all stunned. In a big battle, the main officer listened to the advice of ordinary old soldiers and believed it to be used on the battlefield!
But in the end, the battle was miraculously won!
This seemed to open the door to a new world for the virtuous officials. So this was how it was possible to lead troops to war?
"Ahem, the cabinet knows about the Fujian campaign. What left the deepest impression on me was Minister Yuan's decisiveness and charisma. When faced with the doubts of many officials in Fujian, he was able to persist in using the strategy of eliminating all households and win the support of the Fujian Navy.”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, the chief assistant made use of his excellent control ability and smiled."Besides, listening to the advice of soldiers is something that good generals like to do. Minister Yuan, you don't have to be too modest.”
The two of them stood up and clinked their glasses. They looked at each other and smiled!
What an interesting young man!
Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao did not agree. As generals, they should first control their hearts. Even if Mount Tai collapsed on the top of the mountain, they would not change their orders. Even if the Yellow River was cut off at the mouth, they would not blink!
He had a firm will and was proficient in the art of war. He gave his lieutenants and soldiers absolute confidence. How could he believe the words of a veteran?
However, Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao were very friendly. They followed the chief assistant and toasted their future colleagues. The atmosphere was harmonious!
"May I ask if Minister Yuan has a teacher?”
After decades of being an official, Sun Chengzong once again raised his question after regaining control of his face!
You can't marry your niece!
With this guy's method of commanding troops, he might be buried in a foreign land at any time. If his niece married off and became a widow, it would be a great sin!
"No, I liked the art of war since I was young, but my parents always let me study. It was only when I was the magistrate of Shaowu County that I had the opportunity to buy books to read!”
Yuan Chonghuan shook his head. In the era of " valuing literature over martial arts ", military strategies were not only denounced as " forbidden books " or " demon books ", but their status was not much higher!
Sun Chengzong smiled and said gently,""This old man has hundreds of books on war in my family, and there are even military strategies personally written by Sun Wu. I even have an authentic copy of Wu Mu's Will.”
He couldn't find a son-in-law, but he could take in disciples!
Taking a step back, master and disciple were like father and son, and their relationship was no small matter!
It was not that he would not be sad after his disciple died, but compared to letting his niece live as a widow, at least this would not harm anyone!
Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan was talented in the art of war. If he could really understand the hundreds of volumes of the art of war in his family, he might not be able to change his bad habit of seeking death and become a famous general of his generation!
"This…"
Yuan Chonghuan was moved. Sun Wu's personal handwriting and Wu Mu's will. If he could see such a top-notch art of war, he would have no regrets in his life!
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's appropriate!"
At this moment, Ye Xianggao, who was controlling the scene, stood up again and bowed."Such a talent should open the Profound Language Pavilion for him and understand the wisdom of the military experts of the past dynasties. He might be able to add a commander to the country!”
"I agree!"
The second assistant, who was half a beat slower, glared at his old acquaintance and followed Ye Xianggao's rhythm!
This Yuan Chonghuan was the Minister of War and was in the six ministries, under the control of the cabinet!
If they saw him become Sun Chengzong's disciple, wouldn't they be handing over the Bureau of Military Personnel to the Five Armies Governor's Office?
What kind of joke is this? I can't just give you what I don't want!
This Sun Chengzong looked like he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, but what kind of shady business did he do? He was not a good person!
Sun Chengzong was speechless.
