Ming politicians

Strictly speaking, Su Tiancheng's fortune had little to do with Beiping. He became a role model in the imperial examination, so he asked to be released and left the capital. He has always been in Beiping, so he often comes back to Beiping. As the capital of Ming Dynasty, Beiping has been endowed with different meanings. This is the political and cultural center of Ming Dynasty. The game of officialdom and the struggle for power almost all take place here. Su Tiancheng also I used to experience the game of officialdom here, but he got out in time and basically did not participate in the party struggles of the court. It is precisely because of this that when Su Tiancheng founded the Jin Dynasty, the ranks of officials were relatively small. Clean.

After the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Su Tiancheng paid great attention to party disputes. In the imperial court, Zhu Shenxuan's status was extraordinary. He was not only the chief assistant of the cabinet, the order of ministers, the head of all officials, but also the empress of the Jin Dynasty. His own elder brother, the power is very astonishing, but Su Tiancheng often warns Zhu Shenxuan that it is not easy to establish a dynasty, and the decline of the Ming Dynasty in such a short period of time is one of the big reasons, so Zhu Shenxuan is also Be very careful.

Of course, Su Tiancheng is not a pedantic person, and he will not learn from the practices of hundreds of years later. What officials have lower incomes than ordinary people, he is tightly tied to officials, because he knows very well that the times have changed. The quality of officials is much higher than that of ordinary people. There are not many scholars in this era, and most of the people are illiterate. There are even sayings that scholars are the stars of the sky, so scholars are the most important force supporting the court.

The common people regard officials as the masters of the sky, and the officials regard the people as their parents. Although it is a point of view emphasized by many dynasties, it is still very far away to really do this, probably in a hundred years.It is still hard to say whether it can reach this level, what kind of song to sing on what mountain, so high will eventually suffer a big loss.

Su Tiancheng remembered very clearly that Wang Mang in the Western Han Dynasty was the biggest lesson.When Wang Mang overthrew the Western Han Dynasty and established a dynasty, the situation was somewhat similar to that faced by the Jin Dynasty. Political corruption, corrupt officials, rampant party struggles, and a large number of land acquisitions by gentry and wealthy households made the people's lives miserable and displaced.In addition, successive years of famine left the common people with no way out, and then a large-scale peasant rebellion broke out. Bandits once swept across the country and severely damaged the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Mang was hailed as a farsighted and selfless reformer, and was even called the socialist emperor, but it was such an emperor who seemed to be doing something, but after 20 years of ascending the throne.Overthrown and killed by the rebel army, the dynasty lasted just 20 years.Founded one of the shortest-lived dynasties in history.

Many of Wang Mang's ideas and practices are even in line with the trend of thought after a thousand years. Unfortunately, he was born at an untimely time. In any era, we must pay attention to the characteristics of this era, and the only way to do things is to take it slowly.Step by step, slowly seek change.

Many of the policies that Su Tiancheng implemented were even more radical than Bi Wangmang's back then. For example, the move to take the cultivated land back to the imperial court was unusual.If it is not done well, it will cause opposition from all the gentry and wealthy households. Su Tiancheng will die without a place to bury him. But before promoting this policy, Su Tiancheng made a lot of preparations, including strengthening the Jiangning camp, with the support of the army, and at the beginning At that time, Su Tiancheng did not reward Jiangning soldiers with land, but always asked their families to lease and cultivate land. Later, in Shandong and other places, large-scale development of merchants made the economy highly prosperous and the market became lively. A lot of wealth has also been generated in the market.The most crucial point that Su Tiancheng did was that all officials who entered the Jin court were not allowed to own land, and the land had to be returned to the court. The court offered a part of the silver to express the purchase of the land, but the amount was not much, just to express, On the other hand, the salaries given to officials by the Jin Dynasty were very high, enough for them to support their families and live a decent life.Even under such circumstances, the recovery of cultivated land still encountered great obstacles.

Familiarity with history can clarify gains and losses, and controlling the future can determine the direction of history. With such good conditions, Su Tiancheng certainly knows what to do.

Qu Qingze's information spread quickly.

On the [-]th day of February in the second year of the Jin Dynasty.

The Jiangning battalion soldiers who are ready to go are full of energy. They all know that they are going to enter Beiping tonight. This is the capital of the Ming court. Once they enter here, it means that the Ming court has been overthrown. It existed, and it was replaced by the Jin Dynasty.

It is impossible for the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp not to be excited. For so many years, they have fought in the north and south. They used to serve the Ming Dynasty court, wipe out the bandits, and severely hit the post-Gold Tartars. Later, they wanted to create a new dynasty and overthrow the Ming Dynasty. Not long after the dynasty, their wishes came true, the Great Jin Dynasty was established, and Su Tiancheng, the army soul of the Jiangning Camp, became the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.But no matter what, the Jin Dynasty did not have a fixed capital. This is the regret of everyone. Now that Beiping has been captured, the Jin Dynasty will be established here. At that time, the Jin Dynasty will truly stand up .

To be able to fight for the establishment of the dynasty in person, and to be able to witness the prosperity of the dynasty in person, this is the voice of every Jiangning battalion soldier.

Following Hong Chengchou's order, the large troops began to march.

The night in February was still very cold, but none of the soldiers felt the cold. Their whole bodies were warm. This emotion spread among the troops, and the horseshoes were still wrapped. This became a habit. The soldiers rode on Immediately, although he didn't speak, he could vaguely see everyone's excited expressions. The sky was beautiful, and a moon that was about to be full was hanging high in the sky. All of this seemed so harmonious.

The south gate of the outer city of the capital has long been opened.

The sergeants of the Ming Dynasty Jingying stood neatly inside and outside the city gate, waiting for the Jiangning Battalion to enter. When they received the news that the city gate was opened to welcome the Jiangning Battalion into the capital, almost none of the sergeants objected. Most of the officers also agreed, and a few disagreed. Officers or sergeants had no chance to inform, and were tied up or killed directly. The sergeants had no fighting spirit, and no one wanted to lose their lives in a meaningless battle that was doomed to failure.

When the army arrived at the south gate of the capital, all the soldiers stopped. They knew very well that the emperor must be the first to enter the capital at this time, so they were all waiting for the emperor to enter the capital first.

3000 personal guards surrounded Su Tiancheng and headed towards the south gate of the capital.

The capital has been under martial law for a long time. After dark, people are not allowed to go to the streets. There are soldiers patrolling the streets. It is precisely because of such favorable conditions that the entry of the Jiangning Camp into the capital is hardly known to outsiders.

In fact, there are many things to be prepared for. On the one hand, the Black Death is still spreading in the capital. On the other hand, who knows if there are Ming officials with ulterior motives who want to murder the emperor when the army enters the capital. The risk factor, but Su Tiancheng still insisted on entering the capital first.

Su Tiancheng's clothes are unusual, the dark yellow silk padded robe and the shiny golden armor, in this day and age, unless he is the emperor, other people would not dare to wear it like this.

The torch illuminated very brightly within a range of several hundred meters. The soldiers and scouts were all highly nervous, observing all the movements around them. to any harm.

The sergeants of the Daming Jingying camp guarding the south gate, including some sergeants of the Wucheng Army and Masi, knelt down unconsciously when they saw the crowd surrounding Su Tiancheng, and everyone knelt down. This person who entered the capital, It is their future emperor, the emperor who decides their life and death.

Su Tiancheng didn't stop, and surrounded by everyone, he slowly entered the south gate. The south gate had been taken over by the Jiangning camp soldiers. In the direction of the city, there were no soldiers from the Jiangning camp. The soldiers near the inner edge of the city gate held flaming torches in their hands, illuminating all the surrounding roads.

When the war horse was about to enter the city, Su Tiancheng lightly reined in the reins.

He looked back at the dark city gate, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After fifteen years, he has finally entered the center of power. He would never have such a feeling when he came to the capital before. At that time, he came to the capital either to reunite with his family or to get an official position. adjustments and other matters, but this time the situation is different. He is here to lead. From then on, he will give orders here and start to build a more prosperous and prosperous Jin Dynasty. Son, he will do his utmost to completely change the course of history.

After staying for a while, Su Tiancheng turned around.

He looked at the soldiers around him and spoke loudly.

"Soldiers, brothers, I have brought you to Beijing..."

The shouting broke out at this time.

"Long live the emperor..."

"Long live the emperor..."

More than 5 Jiangning battalion soldiers all dismounted and knelt down. This is a historic moment. A dying dynasty has fallen, been subverted and overthrown, and a brand new dynasty has stood up. The emperor of this brand new dynasty is leading Leading everyone into the capital, leading everyone into a new era.

Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, and all the people around him knelt down, including Wu Rong and others. These personal guards had never knelt down before, but the situation is different today. on horseback.

Su Tiancheng clenched his fist and waved it in the air a few times, without saying anything, he leaped towards the city. . . (To be continued..)
