Ming politicians

How to control the order in the city, Jiangning Battalion has sufficient experience in this regard. In a short period of time, they completely controlled the situation. The common people did not show panic. In fact, the demands of the common people are very low. , they only need to pray that they can survive, and it is considered very good. After the Jiangning camp entered Tianjin, there was no large-scale suppression, and no sergeant even entered the homes of ordinary people without authorization. This made them very satisfied, and the Spring Festival will be celebrated soon. Yes, in fact, the common people have long lost hope, thinking that this Spring Festival will not be able to pass well, and they did not expect that the war will not really start. According to the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, they can have a good Spring Festival.

Just after noon, some shops opened. They were also some shops that had been to Shandong to do business. They knew the rules of Jiangningying, so they opened their doors to do business. The common people did not dare to go to the streets. They went shopping and observed the situation on the street, but they soon discovered that there were hardly many sergeants on the street, except for some major intersections and large shops, which was to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

An hour later, the city of Tianjin quickly became lively. Hotels and inns opened, and brothels also opened. The common people did not feel the slightest change. The only difference was that the soldiers who used to patrol and arrest people on the streets were gone. , is this small change, it seems that the whole city has lost that layer of solemnity.

Chen Xinjia had no chance to commit suicide. He was prepared to commit suicide to serve the emperor when the city was broken. Unfortunately, Wang Daozhi surrendered ahead of time, and the soldiers of the Jiangning camp directly entered the city. Because of drinking some wine at night, Chen Xinjia slept soundly .When he woke up, there were soldiers from the Jiangning camp standing in the room. At this time, he naturally had no chance of committing suicide.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion didn't touch him, they just stood by and didn't even touch anything in the house.The courtyard was also very quiet, as if nothing had happened, but Chen Xinjia knew that Tianjin had been completely controlled by the Jiangning camp.

At this time, Chen Xinjia felt relieved. He didn't know why he had such an idea. The brutal killings in the Battle of Cangzhou were lingering, and the casualties of tens of thousands of soldiers were lingering.There are tragic families behind them. It is entirely possible that all of this will appear again when the Jiangning Camp attacked Tianjin. Now that there has been no fighting, the Jiangning Camp has controlled Tianjin, and the killing will not happen. As for the Jiangning Camp's army Chen Xinjia still knows the rules.

The waiting time is a bit long.At noon, the sergeant brought the food.Chen Xinjia was not polite either, he ate with big mouthfuls and tried his best to stabilize his emotions, as if nothing had happened.

Finally, around the end of time, the guard sergeant spoke up.Ask Chen Xinjia to follow.

When entering the official post, Chen Xinjia had no expression on his face, and the sergeant escorted by the Jiangning battalion was polite. Chen Xinjia asked to go to the official post, but the sergeant did not object.Walking with them, Chen Xinjia actually wanted to see if there were any changes on the street. He saw the people coming and going from a distance. When everything was normal on the street, Chen Xinjia looked up to the sky and sighed. He knew that everything was irreversible. Well, judging from the situation on the street, the common people must support the Jiangning camp, which means they support Su Tiancheng and the Jin court.

Entering the room, Chen Xinjia looked at Su Tiancheng who was sitting on the chair at a glance. There were many people around Su Tiancheng. He knew all of these people, including Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, and even Wang Daozhi.

I haven't seen Su Tiancheng for a long time, and Chen Xinjia could faintly feel that Su Tiancheng's aura has changed a lot. Although he is approachable, you can feel dignity, at least in front of Su Tiancheng, you can't be presumptuous .

Chen Xinjia didn't kneel down, but clasped his fists and shook his head.

"Lord Su, long time no see. Back when Master Su was the governor of Ji Liao, his subordinates were the governor of Liaodong, and he had to obey his command. So many years have passed, and the situation now is the difference between heaven and earth."

The faces of Hong Chengchou and others changed, even Wang Daozhi showed a worried expression on his face, but he didn't know that the consequences of Longyan's anger would be very serious. Isn't Chen Xinjia's words like this mocking Su Tiancheng for rebellion?

There was no expression of anger on Su Tiancheng's face.

"Chen Xinjia, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you are determined and only want to die to serve the Ming court. I didn't want to stop you, but after thinking about it, I don't want to bear such a stigma, so Asking the soldiers to protect your safety, I still want to see you, after all, I still have some contact with you."

Chen Xinjia looked at Su Tiancheng, but didn't speak. His purpose was to anger Su Tiancheng, and then let Su Tiancheng kill himself, so that he could serve the emperor.

"Chen Xinjia, don't worry, I will not kill you, and I will not restrict your freedom. If you want to go back to the capital, please feel free. Of course, if you only want to die and serve the Ming court, there will be many opportunities in the future." , don’t rush this moment.”

"You and Mr. Wang had a lot of conversations last night. I know the content of these conversations. Don't blame Mr. Wang. I also have a lot of emotions, but some emotions. I can only suppress them in my heart and cannot express them. You once After leading the army to attack in Liaodong, the Golden Tatars suffered a defeat. That was your dream. After that, you led an army to confront me, and you also suffered a failure. This kind of blow is unbearable for ordinary people. The court of the Ming Dynasty And the emperor treats you well, you are grateful and swear to serve you to the death, there is no problem with this, I can understand all these."

"Life is unsatisfactory one out of ten times. There is no smooth sailing road. I didn't think about establishing the Great Jin Dynasty at the beginning, but now, I will do everything possible to protect the interests of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Chen Xinjia looked at Su Tiancheng in surprise, he never expected that Su Tiancheng would say such words.

"I didn't intend to ask you to surrender. You can do whatever you like. I just want to persuade you not to continue to be loyal to the Ming court and the emperor. There is no way out. If you feel ashamed of the emperor, you can Adopt other methods, such as promoting the benevolence of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, etc., or have the opportunity to accompany the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to die in the future, these are all methods that can be adopted."

When Su Tiancheng said these words, not only Chen Xinjia was astonished, but even Hong Chengchou and others did not expect that any emperor would not want to eradicate the threat. If the capital is breached, the first thing to do is to clear the palace. Zhu Youjian survived, and Zhu Youjian's life was the biggest threat. Unexpectedly, the emperor never thought of Zhu Youjian's life.

"You don't have to be surprised. I have already made a decision and I will not kill Zhu Youjian. I have thought about it carefully. Zhu Youjian is not a licentious emperor, or even a very hardworking emperor. But the problem is that Daming The imperial court is already riddled with holes. Zhu Youjian does not have the ability to revitalize the dynasty and reverse the situation. If the situation continues according to the original situation, even if I do not do anything, the Ming court will probably be destroyed by the rogues and the later Jin Tartars son's hand."

"If you don't have the ability to govern the world, but you have to sit in that position, the final outcome will be tragic. If it was a peaceful time, Zhu Youjian might be able to get through it safely, but unfortunately he doesn't have that luck. This is fate, even if you are an emperor, You can’t get rid of this kind of fate.”

"Okay, I've said enough, Chen Xinjia, I hope you can understand the reason behind this, Tianjin has been occupied, you are not an official of the court, it is not appropriate to continue to live in the original place, I think you should still Living in the official post, let’s talk about the place where you live, it is the house of the common people, and it should be returned to the original owner, but there is one thing I want to emphasize, the Spring Festival is coming soon, I hope that the common people in the city can spend it safely This Spring Festival, I don't want any mistakes in the city. I followed the army all the way to Tianjin. The situation along the way made me very sad. The imperial court cabinet minister has an unshirkable responsibility."

"I have already ordered the rescue of the people, and we must overcome the difficulties no matter what. Wang Daozhi made a great contribution, that is, to prevent Tianjin from being hit by war. The Jiangning Camp has absolute confidence to take Tianjin. Even if it launches an attack, it will take a few days at most. Time, you can attack, but within the attack time of these few days, the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in the city have fallen into a desperate situation, and you all know what they will do, and you are welcome. It is said that an army that has lost its fighting spirit and a sergeant who has lost control is a devil, and it is the common people who suffer.”

Chen Xinjia left the house and was placed in the front yard. For some reason, he suddenly lost the determination to commit suicide. It is not possible to say that he will surrender to Su Tiancheng for the time being, but he really wants to see what Su Tiancheng will do after he takes over the capital. Will the Great Jin Dynasty prosper in the shortest possible time, will it be like Shandong? Another point is the most important, that is how Su Tiancheng will treat the emperor and those in the court. Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

Of course, Chen Xinjia would think about Su Tiancheng's words, but he would not show gratitude just because of Su Tiancheng's few words. As for Wang Daozhi, Chen Xinjia didn't have the slightest opinion. Those words that Su Tiancheng said in front of him were actually thinking about saving his life.

After dark, Chen Xinjia tried to get out of the house, but no one stopped him. There were sergeants from the Jiangning Camp at the gate of the official post, but no one restricted his freedom of movement.

After walking out of the official post, Chen Xinjia talked to himself.

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best, but I also know that the fall of the court is inevitable. This is the first time I have seen an emperor with such a broad mind as Lord Su." (To be continued...)
