Ming politicians

It is very easy to clarify one's ambition. Sometimes when one is excited, one will show it unconsciously, but it is not that simple to really achieve it. Su Tiancheng is very clear, since he has decided to dominate the Ming Dynasty, then It means that he will face more difficulties and obstacles, and need more careful thinking and wise decisions. Whatever he does, he must strive towards this goal. The difficulties he faces will not be able to think clearly in a short time of.It was also for this reason that after Su Tiancheng crossed over, he never thought that he would be able to stand on his own as a king, be able to dominate everything in the Ming Dynasty, and be able to climb to the highest peak.

Before the time travel, Su Tiancheng was a member of the system. From what he heard and saw, he had a submissive personality and maintained the orthodoxy. But after traveling for more than ten years, he would start to rebel and wanted to rule everything by himself. It fully confirms the saying that times make heroes, and many things are forced to do by him.

Zhu Youjian's imperial decree was transferred from Liaodong. The content of the imperial decree did not exceed Su Tiancheng's imagination. Don't let the Houjin Tartars take advantage of it until the Houjin Tartars are completely wiped out.

One day later, Su Tiancheng received another imperial decree, which was clearly announced to the world, and there was Su Tiancheng's memorial on it. The emperor agreed to Su Tiancheng's request and ordered Zhu Shenxuan to inspect Dengzhou, and once again He asked Su Tiancheng to go to Liaodong to destroy the Houjin Tartars.

Zhu Youjian actually announced Su Tiancheng's memorial to all parts of Daming, which was somewhat beyond Su Tiancheng's expectations. This action has a profound meaning, and it is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. This is not a gift from Zhu Youjian to him, but a gift from Zhu Youjian. The start of the duel.

Su Tiancheng once wrote a secret letter to Yang Sichang, the chief assistant of the cabinet.Talking about the possible actions of the Later Jin Tartars to seek peace and demand surrender, this secret letter clearly stated the harm of accepting the peace. When writing this secret letter, Su Tiancheng still proceeded from the perspective of the whole Ming Dynasty. Fully consider the individual, but things have developed to this point.He had to think about it all.

The wing room of the governor's mansion.

Zhu Shenxuan, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others are all here. The matter to be discussed today is very important, so the three floors outside the wing room are guarded, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to approach.

After Zhu Shenxuan came to Dengzhou, it was impossible for him to be idle, and it was impossible for Su Tiancheng to show so much concern. He needed capable personnel, Zhu Shenxuan's arrival.This problem is largely solved.It is said that Zhu Shenxuan does not have any position, the imperial court did not specify Zhu Shenxuan as the supervisor of the imperial censor, the meaning of the imperial decree is quite vague, but Su Tiancheng doesn't care so much, Zhu Shenxuan is directly responsible for the daily affairs of the governor's office, which is quite In the position of governor and prefect, the power is very great. You must know Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou, Fujian Quanzhou and Taiwan.These places act completely in accordance with the edict of the Governor's Office, and the imperial edicts and edicts of the imperial court have no effect in these places.

Zhu Shenxuan knew everything about it.He directly assumed the responsibility, and since then he has officially revealed his identity, and has become one of Su Tiancheng's most capable assistants, and also one of the most important assistants.

Zhu Youjian's two imperial decrees have been read several times by several people, and they are about the analysis of the content of the imperial decree.It is also basically clear that the next thing that needs to be discussed is what measures should be taken to deal with the imperial decree.

When it comes to what to do next, Su Tiancheng must be the first to give his opinion.Everyone came to discuss.

Su Tiancheng looked at the crowd and spoke slowly.

"In the past, my consideration was still based on the overall situation. First, we should eliminate the post-Gold Tartars and completely destroy the regime of the Post-Gold Tartars, so that my Ming Dynasty would have no foreign aggression. Now it seems that it is not particularly difficult to achieve this goal. The thing is, the Jiangning Camp, the Liaodong Frontier Army and the Datong Frontier Army continued to conquer the Houjin Tartars and won the final victory in one go. It is not a particularly distant thing. The strength of the Houjin Tartars has been greatly damaged, financial resources are not good, and they are in the most difficult time , is our opportunity, but now it seems that such a choice may not be the best choice."

"I have already estimated that under such circumstances, Huang Taiji will definitely find ways to negotiate a peace and express his submission to the court, and at this time, the court is eager to make the Houjin Tartars surrender and free their hands to deal with me, so I give Yang Sichang I wrote a secret letter to prevent this from happening, and the emperor's decree has shaken my decision."

"We need to consume a lot of manpower and material resources as we continue to conquer the Golden Tartars, and we need huge financial support. I am afraid that from now on, the imperial court will not give out a tael of silver. The imperial court hopes that my strength will be exhausted so that they can sit back It is too easy for them to deal with me if they want to take advantage of the profit, and the Jiangning camp can no longer support it."

"So I seriously thought about it. Since it is possible for the Later Jin Tartars to surrender, let the imperial court get close to the Later Jin Tartars, and let the imperial court turn around to deal with me. To be able to unite and stabilize, even if the Golden Tatars are wiped out, it is impossible to completely stabilize the results. In my opinion, from now on, we will suspend the deployment of the Golden Tartars."

"The next step is what we should do. It is impossible to wait in Dengzhou. We need to expand our strength, we need to grow ourselves, we need to deal with all attacks from the court, and we need to expand our territory. I have considered two aspects. When it’s time, you have to do it well.”

"The first aspect is to lead Shandong."

"This is the most important step. The location of Shandong is very important, and it is also of decisive significance to us. As long as we can occupy the entire Shandong, our strength will be able to grow in an orderly manner. You see, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou and other places have been firmly controlled by us. The officials in these places are also dispatched by the Governor's Office. The imperial court does not care about such things. At the same time, we control the Bohai Bay. By controlling all the sea areas of Ming Dynasty, we will consolidate our position in Shandong, and we will be able to gradually drive all the sea areas and obtain the greatest financial resources for our strength.”

"The second aspect is to rely on Taiwan Island to control Fujian."

"Xiong Zijian and Wang Dazhi have done very well in Taiwan and Fujian. From Wang Dazhi's letter, the situation in Taiwan is very good, and the relationship between Taiwan and Quanzhou, Fujian is also doing very well. Currently, Xiong Zijian and Wang Dazhi need What we have done is to use Taiwan and Quanzhou as bases to control the whole of Fujian. If we can control Fujian, you can see from the map that this and Nanzhili in the middle are what we can try to control in the next step. We can completely adopt a front-to-back approach, it can be said that Xiong Zijian and Wang Dazhi can control Fujian, and the next step we can plan to control the entire south."

"This matter is something we need to focus on. Everyone knows that the imperial court has a lot of troops stationed in the south. Liu Zeqing who is stationed in Zhejiang controls 20 troops, and Huang Degong who is stationed in Luzhou controls 43 troops. Zuo Liangyu stationed in Wuchang controls an army of [-], Shi Kefa stationed in Nanzhili controls an army of [-], and Ma Shiying stationed in Fengyang controls an army of [-]. Calculated, the total force reaches [-], even if it is their combat effectiveness No, this is also a force that must be paid close attention to.”

"Our control of Shandong, Fujian and other places is just the beginning. We chose to start from the south because of the needs of the actual situation. The south is a land of wealth and talent. It is the fundamental strength of the imperial court. Once we can Taking control of the entire south also indicates that our decision is completely correct and can be completely successful, so this step is the most important."

"The third aspect is Zhang Fengyi and his [-] army stationed in Xuanzhou. This is a problem we have to solve within this year."

"Everyone, don't underestimate these 3 troops. This is a large army stationed in our heartland. There cannot be any threat in the heartland we occupy. Absolute security must be guaranteed. Therefore, to solve the problem of these [-] troops, we must There are three ways to start immediately. The first is to recruit the [-] troops for our use. This is the best ending. The second is to let the [-] troops leave Xuanzhou, leave Shandong, and return to Beizhili , This is a bad ending. The third is to disband or wipe out the [-] troops. They cannot be used by the court. This is the worst ending. Under the current situation, we cannot kill each other, we must Keep the surface stable."

"The fourth aspect, the influence of public opinion, we must pay attention to."

"To put it bluntly, many government officials in various places in Ming Dynasty, including the places we can control, are still loyal to the court and the emperor. You can't blame them. I was also loyal to the court and the emperor not long ago, but now we need To create public opinion, the emperor and the imperial court are already doing it. Announcing my memorial to the world is the best explanation. Doesn’t this mean that I want to rebel, so we need to fight back, and what method should we take to fight back? I don’t think there is any need On the contrary, what we need to do is to let us control the local people, and their lives are getting better and better. If this step is achieved, it is the best counterattack. Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Taiwan, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and In Gaizhou and other places, the lives of ordinary people are getting better and better, which is in stark contrast with other places. I believe the ordinary people will understand, and many officials will also understand."

"Everyone, don't underestimate this aspect. It is related to our foundation. Although it is a choice to conquer the world blindly with force, it is not the best choice. Subduing the enemy without fighting is what we pursue. Goal.” (To be continued..)
