Ming politicians

(First of all, I would like to thank Piaoxing Europe for becoming the first master of this book. Secondly, I would like to thank the many readers who supported this book. Thank you, the new January has arrived, and I implore you to get more support and understanding.)

Zi Shi has passed, Hong Chengchou is going to take a break, and the attack will start at Chen Shi. Sun Chuanting, He Renlong and others once suggested to launch the attack at Mao Shi, but Hong Chengchou did not agree. He knew what the emperor meant, and he should wait until dawn to launch the attack , so that more unnecessary casualties can be avoided. Besides, the Ming army guarding the city of Tianjin does not have a strong fighting spirit. I am afraid that this attack will not last for a long time.

Following the emperor's conquest for so long, many facts have educated Hong Chengchou, making him sincerely admire the many decisions made by the emperor. Before each attack, the emperor should try to avoid large-scale damage, especially when attacking the city. The emperor once said that conquest is a huge consumption. If the goal is to unify the world, this kind of consumption will be borne by oneself in the end, because the world needs the imperial court to build, and the displaced people also need the imperial court to resettle them. Instead of destroying and then constructing and remedial, it is better to consider this aspect more when fighting.

Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, Hong Chengchou felt it faintly. The emperor seemed to have a premonition. The time for the Great Jin Dynasty to unify the Central Plains is estimated to be within these few months. In fact, the rest is the capital area and Liaodong. , the rest of the places were basically taken down. The officials sent by Zhu Shenxuan had already rushed to Shaanxi and Shanxi and other places to start contact with the officials there. Although such contacts may not necessarily play a decisive role, the emperor also Ask Zhu Shenxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others.Some Jiangning battalion soldiers were dispatched to wipe out the banditry in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places.

Before leaving Nanjing, Hong Chengchou paid special visits to Zhu Shenxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others. All of them were prime ministers of the Jin Dynasty. Of course, the discussions were all big things, and the opinions of several people were unified.That is the capital of the Jin Dynasty. It should still be in Beiping. The south is rich and stable, and there are many wars in the north. The capital is set in Beiping, which can ensure the stability of Liaodong and the border. It is also conducive to the realization of the emperor's goal. Both Liaodong and the Mongolian grasslands are to be conquered.These places were originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the Jin Dynasty was established, these places are also the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty.

When Liu Jingting came to report the incident, Hong Chengchou had already rested.

Seeing Liu Jingting bring people into the house, Hong Chengchou was a little strange, according to the emperor's request, Liu Jingting needed to take a good rest, why did he appear in the barracks at this time.But finding yourself late at night must be a big deal.

"Marshal. There are people from Tianjin City, and I have something important to report to Marshal."

Hong Chengchou looked at the people around Liu Jingting and nodded slightly.

At this time, the people around Liu Jingting spoke up.

"My lord, I'm the son of Mr. Zheng Keyou, the magistrate of Suzhou Prefecture. After Mr. Liu entered Tianjin, all the matters are arranged by me. Because there is an emergency tonight, I'm bothering the commander-in-chief."

Hearing what the visitor said, a smile appeared on Hong Chengchou's face.

"That's how it is. Come here. Don't be cautious. If you have anything to do, just sit down and talk."

The visitor did not sit down and continued to speak.

"Master Wang Daozhi found me at night, and he talked about some things. His lord Wang meant that he wanted to surrender, but before, Lord Liu almost encountered an accident, which made him very embarrassed. He didn't know what to do. I feel that the matter is urgent. , so I came here to report to your lord."

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, this is really a big deal, the army is already ready, and the battle will start in a few hours, at this time, Wang Daozhi suddenly mentioned the matter of submission, I don't know if it is true or not, Are you thinking of delaying the attack, or do you have other ideas.

Hong Chengchou thought for a while, then spoke immediately.

"This is a very important matter. You and I will go to see the emperor together."

After Su Tiancheng listened carefully, he thought for a while, looked at the person who came, and asked two questions.

"If I agree to Wang Daozhi's submission, what will he do?"

"My lord Wang is waiting for the news at this moment. My lord Wang said that if there is any news, he can come over in person and pay his respects to the emperor."

"The army has spread out, and the attack will start at [-]:[-] tomorrow. A few hours will pass in a flash. If tomorrow's attack continues, how will Wang Daozhi plan to deal with it?"

"This, Mr. Wang didn't say it clearly, he just said all the matters, and we will discuss it after he comes."

Su Tiancheng nodded.

"Well, it's hard work for you to take a walk. Please Wang Dao come here. I'm waiting for him here. Liu Jingting, you go with me. Hong Chengchou, send a few scouts to follow along the road to avoid any accidents."

In Yinshi, the kingly way came straight.

After seeing Su Tiancheng, Wang Daozhi quickly knelt down.

"Governor Wang Dao of Datong pays homage to the emperor."

"My lord, please, I am very pleased with the wise choice made by my lord. I don't know what arrangements my lord has."

Su Tiancheng got straight to the point, the attack will start soon, within two short hours, everything needs to be finalized, otherwise once the fighting starts, losses will be inevitable, since Wang Daozhi has decided to surrender, then We need to take actual actions, not just words.

"Your Majesty, the guards at the south gate have all been replaced. They are all Datong frontier troops. The minister's idea is that the south gate will open at Maoshi."

A smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face, as long as the city gate was opened and the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp entered the city, everything would be easy to talk about. Liu Jingting once said that the Ming army basically had no fighting spirit, and the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp entered the city , Presumably the Ming army would not make a desperate resistance. In fact, the main Datong frontier army guarding the city of Tianjin was terrified by the Jiangning battalion during the Battle of Cangzhou, and was unwilling to fight the Jiangning battalion at all.

Sun Chuanting quickly came over.

Seeing Wang Daozhi, Sun Chuanting was stunned for a moment, he knew Wang Daozhi.

The situation in front of him also made him understand everything.

Before Sun Chuanting could speak, Hong Chengchou spoke.

"Sun Chuanting, order the soldiers to get ready. Enter the city of Tianjin from the south gate at Maoshi. Remember to ask all the soldiers not to harass the people after entering the city. If the Ming army resists, they can be suppressed on the spot. If there are soldiers who violate the military order, the military law will be followed."

Sun Chuanting understood that the war could not be won, and the king's way went straight to the emperor.

At Mao time, the sky was not yet bright.

Sun Chuanting, who was fully armed, saw the suspension bridge lowered slowly, and then the south gate opened.

Looking at the opened city gate, Sun Chuanting did not move for a while.

Soon, teams of Ming soldiers came out from the south gate, walked across the suspension bridge, and stood neatly in front of the army. These sergeants put down their swords and guns one after another, and lined up again, which meant that they had completely given up resistance. In an hour, there were more than [-] Ming soldiers coming out of the south gate.

At this time, Sun Chuanting began to lead the army into the city of Tianjin from the south gate. Ainengqi was in charge of guarding the surrendered Ming troops. Li Dongguo followed Sun Chuanting into the city of Tianjin. Sun Chuanting can always talk and comfort himself.

The map of Tianjin city defense has long been recorded in Sun Chuanting's mind. After entering the city, the army quickly started to move, divided into five parts, and headed for the north gate, west gate, east gate and the place where Chen Xinjia was stationed. After controlling these places, it can be regarded as the real city of Tianjin.

Sun Chuanting personally guarded the south gate. If the city of Tianjin is captured, the emperor will enter the city of Tianjin from here. Safety must be absolutely guaranteed, and the slightest mistake cannot occur.

Soon, the soldiers sent to control the North Gate, East Gate, and West Gate came to report, and everything went well. The main guards of the four gates were the Datong Frontier Army, and they all received orders not to resist.The soldiers who went to Chen Xinjia's mansion also came to report, and everything was under control without any problems.

The time has come to Chenshi. If there is no change in the night, this time is the time for the Jiangning battalion to start attacking.

Seeing that everything was going well, Sun Chuanting ordered the messengers to report to Hong Chengchou quickly. The army led by Hong Chengchou was waiting. Although he said that Tianjin City had been captured, in order to ensure safety, more soldiers were needed to enter the city and control various key points. , At least the more than [-] Ming troops stationed in the city need to be cleared.

Starting from the hour of Chen, groups of Ming troops began to line up and walk out of the city, and they all went outside the city to meet again. Most of the Ming troops saw ease on their faces. Whether they can go out standing up is uncertain. Anyway, they also know the policy of Jiangning Battalion towards surrendering sergeants. Anyway, they will not be beheaded and can guarantee the safety of their lives.

Outside the city, there were densely packed Ming army sergeants who put down their weapons.

The common people in the city knew all this a long time ago. When they woke up early in the morning, they found that the sergeants on duty on the street had changed. The sergeants were not wearing red military uniforms, but dark green uniforms. I heard that the uniforms of Jiangning Battalion soldiers are dark green.

The common people were very panicked. They didn't expect that the Jiangning Camp would take down the city of Tianjin so quickly, and they didn't even hear the sound of fighting. Some merchants were very relieved. They had gone to Shandong to do business, and they knew the military regulations of the Jiangning camp, that is, they would never harass the people for no reason.

The news that reassured the common people in the city came quickly. There were soldiers from the Jiangning Camp riding around shouting that all the martial law would be lifted after noon, and the common people could go in and out freely. According to the rules, people will never be looted. If a soldier dares to break into the house of the people, he will be punished according to the military law. (to be continued..)
