"It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery, and not to be known as the overlord."

Before the Jiangning camp entered Tianjin, Su Tiancheng said such words, which surprised Hong Chengchou and others. Although Su Tiancheng once wrote some poems that have been sung to this day, he has not continued since he entered the court. Su Tiancheng disdained the behavior of reciting poems and making right, thinking that it was a matter of peaceful times, and in troubled times, a strong army and enough wisdom were still needed to survive and live.

Of course, the understanding of Hong Chengchou and others also believed that this was because the emperor was in a good mood. Although the bloody battle in Cangzhou, although the Jiangning camp also suffered a lot, this battle completely broke down the momentum of the Ming army and made the Houjin Tartars Fleeing away, this has exceeded the expected result. From the perspective of the entire campaign, this opening is very exciting.

Lu Xiangsheng led the army and rushed to Cangzhou. Needless to say, he had to eat and sleep in the open air along the way. After arriving in Cangzhou, Lu Xiangsheng still regretted that he could not catch up with the war. When the [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers he led entered Henan, almost none Encountered any decent resistance, even the Kaifeng Mansion was taken down with ease. The guard army in Henan had already fled upon hearing the news, and some directly surrendered.

Lu Xiangsheng was able to leave Henan smoothly, regardless of local stability. This was also due to Su Tiancheng's arrangement. It was Yang Sichang who followed Lu Xiangsheng into Henan Province as the prime minister.Yang Sichang, the former chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, naturally knew what kind of arrangements to make. In fact, after Yang Sichang entered Henan Province, some officials in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces had already secretly contacted Yang Sichang. Some of them .He was originally a disciple of Yang Sichang, thinking that he could directly join the Jin Dynasty and find a way out for the future.

The army rested in Cangzhou for two days.

The two days are very tense, but it cannot be delayed any longer, and the pace of the battle must be accelerated.

During the discussion about the next move, someone suggested to bypass Tianjin and attack the capital directly. As long as the capital can be captured, the Ming army in Tianjin will be leaderless.The meaning of resistance is lost.

But Su Tiancheng denied this opinion. Although it is said that this conquest of Daming has been smooth and has not encountered too many twists and turns, no one can tell how it will develop in the future. There are always some People, the desire for power is very strong.It is even possible to take advantage of this opportunity to become a king on his own.The establishment of so-called dynasties is because these people have armies in their hands. Once these short-lived dynasties are established, it will be the common people who will suffer.It's nothing unusual.

The Jiangning camp must completely wipe out the Ming army. The Jin Dynasty founded by Su Tiancheng does not allow other troops to exist.

After Su Tiancheng uttered this point of view, everyone's understanding quickly unified, and it was precisely because of Su Tiancheng's statement.Let many officers of the Jiangning Camp understand that even if the capital is captured and the Ming army is wiped out, the Jiangning Camp still has a heavy task to do. At least until the Houjin Tartars are completely wiped out, don't expect to live in peace and stability .

On December [-], the army of the Jiangning Battalion set off from Cangzhou.

The information detected by the scouts, as well as Sun Chuanting's many reports, have clarified the location of the distribution of the Ming army, mainly concentrated around the city of Tianjin, where a large number of Ming troops were stationed.

This situation was within Su Tiancheng's expectation. Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi, who were still in shock, could only choose to stay in the city. If they continued to fight in the field, the Datong frontier army would not be able to resist the Jiangning battalion's attack.

In fact, after the Battle of Cangzhou, the situation has changed a long time ago. The Daming Mansion, Guangping Mansion, Shunde Mansion, and parts of Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion belonged to Beizhili have been controlled by the Jin Dynasty. There are not many places that the imperial court can control, and there are still places in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Ningxia in name, but the order of the Ming court can be conveyed to Shuntian Mansion, Baoding Mansion, Yongping Mansion, Xuanfu Town and the Liaodong area. Now, Zhu Shenxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others are definitely able to seize every opportunity. In many prefectures and counties belonging to Shaanxi and Shanxi, many officials have clearly stated that they will take refuge in the Jin Dynasty. In their view, it is not an ugly thing. Anyway, Su Tiancheng, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, was also a Han Chinese, and he was once the second place in the imperial examination. Besides, Su Tiancheng had a huge influence in Shaanxi and Shanxi. The people in Shaanxi will never forget Su Tiancheng. Tiancheng, it was the time when Su Tiancheng was the governor of Shaanxi, they could have enough to eat, and they would not be displaced. Shanxi is Su Tiancheng's hometown, and the people in his hometown felt proud when the emperor came out.

Therefore, many people understand that if the battle of Tianjin is won, the entire battle will basically be over. After taking the capital, the Ming Dynasty will be completely destroyed. As for the Liaodong frontier army, they are facing a dilemma. After the Jin Tartars took over, and even directly attacked the capital, the Liaodong frontier army will be reviled by thousands of people, and they will stick to Liaodong. The imperial court is destroyed. What kind of army do they belong to, and where is their future way out.

Su Tiancheng thought about it enough.

Chongzhen traveled through three years, and in the 16th year of Chongzhen, he founded the Great Jin Dynasty and became the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. The time of 14 years does not seem to be long, but Su Tiancheng himself is very clear about the ups and downs in it. His time travel, It can be said that the biggest secret of the Jin Dynasty cannot be revealed in a lifetime.

Knowing the difference above, Su Tiancheng can grasp it and correct himself in time. In fact, he has read many history books and has some understanding of ancient things, but the overall backwardness of the dynasty can be said to be the backwardness of the whole world , but it is not something that Su Tiancheng can change. Even his personal understanding may not be able to reach the peak.

In any case, from the perspective of the education he received, or from his own growth experience, including the work he did before time travel, Su Tiancheng has a deep-rooted understanding that the common people must be able to eat enough, and they must be able to feed themselves. Dress warmly, this is the minimum requirement. Officials can let themselves live a good life, but they can't harm the interests of the common people because of seeking personal interests. As for whether it harms the interests of the country, Su Tiancheng dare not Guaranteed, in fact, no dynasty can completely eliminate corruption.

Su Tiancheng has also analyzed why a brand new dynasty was able to be established in just 14 years. This is probably because his advanced concepts played a decisive role. Don't think that the ancients are stupid. Not much worse than you, but limited in understanding.

As far as the construction of the Jiangning Camp is concerned, Su Tiancheng starts from two aspects. The first is sufficient military pay, which is the most basic guarantee and the foundation for the soldiers to have a sense of honor. They are all military households, they all wear tattered clothes, and they cannot support their wives and children. How can you expect such an army to have a strong fighting spirit.

The second is the supreme sense of honor. The way to stimulate the greatest ability of an individual is not to give him a lot of gold and silver treasures, but to let him show his own value and make him feel that the goal he is fighting for is lofty. It is worth sacrificing one's life to do, and only by doing this can the army become infinitely stronger.

Of course, in the process of army building, Su Tiancheng was very aware of the important role of silver. This point was emphatically reflected in the construction of the artillery battalion. It can be said that the silver used in the construction of the artillery battalion over the years was already astronomical, but In this regard, Su Tiancheng has never been stingy with money, and resolutely invested when it was time to invest.Artillery is called the god of war, and it has been like this for hundreds of years. Its importance is self-evident. Although after so many battles, the Ming army and the later Jin Tartars also understand the importance of artillery, it is a pity They have no foundation and cannot build a strong artillery battalion.

This advanced concept benefits from the accumulated understanding before crossing.

No one is perfect, and gold has no bare feet. Su Tiancheng knows that he also has shortcomings, and he will be content with pleasure. People are lazy. There are so many emperors in ancient times. It is impossible to say that they have no level, but why? There are only a few kings, why the dynasty always turns from prosperity to decline, and has become an unavoidable curse. There are many reasons for this, and I can’t finish it in a few days and nights, but the basic reason, I’m afraid It lies in the rule of man concluded hundreds of years later. The emperor has too much power. He decides everything. He can violate the law and do whatever he wants. The officials below are like this. If the emperor and officials can control themselves, the dynasty will start to prosper. If the emperor is licentious If officials are greedy for ink, then the dynasty's downfall is inevitable.

What Su Tiancheng is trying to do is to change this situation. Otherwise, the Great Jin Dynasty will have the same fate. After reaching its peak, it will fall into a bottomless abyss. In order to avoid such a situation, what he needs to do, speaking of it Simple, two things, one is to establish a strict system, everything is done with the system, some basic systems, the emperor can not violate, for example, if someone has a capital crime, Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice has confirmed it, even the emperor This decision cannot be overturned. The second is to vigorously establish schools to improve the quality of the people, and in the education of the schools, instill these views, what things can be done, and what things cannot be done, even though you are a nobleman, you cannot What you do is still untouchable.

As for advocating the concept of equality for all, including the concept of human rights, Su Tiancheng will not do it for the time being. Su Tiancheng himself does not believe in demanding complete equality between people. Even after hundreds of years, such a purpose It has not been achieved either. The amount and size of money, wealth, power, etc. you have can completely determine the inequality between people. (To be continued..)
