Ming politicians

() There is no doubt that the Jiangning Battalion has been rewarded for such great achievements. The next step is to mobilize the Jiangning Battalion to the north to deal with the Tartars. It would be a pity to have such a good army in the south.

This kind of opinion began to spread. Wen Tiren, chief assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Fengyi, secretary of the Ministry of War, all supported this opinion. They also understood the importance of Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng already knew this opinion.

He started to worry, and if you want to go fast, you won't make progress. Along the way, he thought of this possibility, and he had already left behind, but if Zhu Youjian got hotheaded and asked Jiang Ningying to come to the north, it would be a big disaster.

It is useless to visit Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi. My own opinions will definitely not be taken seriously. Unless I meet the emperor directly, speak out my thoughts openly and honestly, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.

During the two days waiting for the emperor to summon him, Su Tiancheng was like an ant on a hot pot.

In the imperial court, there were more and more discussions about the Jiangning camp, and the opinions became more and more unified.

As a doctor in the Ministry of War, Xu Er was very aware of these opinions. He went to the official post every day to report the situation to Su Tiancheng. He learned a lot from Su Tiancheng, and he remembered a sentence very clearly.This is what Su Tiancheng said, big things should be principled.Small things are about style.He understood this sentence for a long time.

Through talking with Su Tiancheng, he also supported Su Tiancheng. It is true that the Jiangning Battalion can't go to the north rashly. There are not enough people and supplies. It will take a while to grow.

The so-called weak foundation.The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

The eunuch led Su Tiancheng into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Looking at the ministers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Su Tiancheng was greatly surprised.

The first assistant of the cabinet Wen Tiren, the second assistant Wu Zongda, the assistant ministers Wang Yingxiong, Qian Shisheng, etc., Li Changgeng, Minister of Rites, Hou Xun, the newly appointed Minister of Household, Li Kangxian, Minister of Rites, Zhang Fengyi, Minister of Military Affairs, Hu Yingtai, Minister of Punishment, Zhou Shipu, Minister of Industry, Zuo The imperial censor Tang Shiji and others are all here.

Xu Eryi, a military officer, stood behind and looked at Su Tiancheng with a serious look in his eyes.Express concerns.

Seeing all of this, Su Tiancheng understood that today's posture is three trials, if he can't give a sufficient reason, the Jiangning camp will be dispatched.Don't think about it yourself, and continue to work in Jiangning County.

Encountering such a situation, it would be miserable, and the Zhongxingxue society encountered problems, at least in terms of certain viewpoints.Will go the old way, it is difficult to have pioneering and innovative.The great situation in Jiangning County may not be able to be maintained.

As for the Jiangning camp, how long can it last without material support.

"Su Tiancheng, magistrate of Chen Jiangning County, pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Su Aiqing is dead."

After Su Tiancheng stood up, Zhu Youjian spoke with a smile on his face.

"Su Aiqing, today I summoned the cabinet ministers, as well as the six ministers and the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to discuss the matter of the Jiangning camp. You are the supervisor of the Jiangning camp. I really want to hear your opinion. "

"The minister must report the truth."

"Alright, Zhang Aiqing, let me tell you about your opinions."

Zhang Fengyi looked at Su Tiancheng, and quickly spoke.

"I thought that the Jiangning battalion was brave and good at fighting, and it was a waste of money to put it in Jiangning County. Now, I am in an emergency in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and Houjin often harassed it. The Jiangning battalion fought with Houjin. One hundred soldiers wiped out all 87 troops of Houjin Zhenghongqi The cavalry, with such combat power, can be dispatched to the Shanhaiguan area and become the main force of the Jinman Eight Banners after the battle."

What Zhang Fengyi said was very concise, and the meaning was clear in a few words.

After Zhang Fengyi finished speaking, Wen Tiren spoke.

"Your Majesty, I believe that what Mr. Zhang said is reasonable. The cabinet has also discussed it. The Jiangning Battalion is powerful. It is feasible to dispatch it to the north and become the main force to fight against the Eight Banners. As for the other difficulties, we can gradually solve them. Considering the solution, I know that the Jiangning camp has not been established for a long time, and there must be many difficulties, but compared with the emergency in the north, all these are nothing, and the Jiangning camp must put the family and the country as the top priority."

Su Tiancheng almost choked on his breath.

Wen Tiren's words were so well spoken that they blocked all excuses. He originally thought about refuting them, but it seemed that he had to tell the truth and be open and honest.

"Su Aiqing, what do you mean, you are the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion."

"I have a different opinion. The Jiangning camp is now going to the north, and the timing is not right. If it is forcibly transferred to the Shanhaiguan area, I am afraid it will disappoint the high expectations of the emperor, and it will not be able to play a decisive role."

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was very quiet.

Wang Chengen, who was standing next to Zhu Youjian, kept his eyes down. After Su Tiancheng said these words, he raised his eyelids and shot Su Tiancheng with his eyes.

"Oh, why did Su Aiqing say that?"

Zhu Youjian's tone was very gentle, and he showed no impatience at all. Su Tiancheng also saw Wang Chengen's eyes, and he understood that the emperor might have thought about it. He asked himself to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to give himself a chance, as long as he said It came out with a clear reason that the Jiangning battalion could continue to stay in the south.

"I have three reasons."

"The first reason is to know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

"Houjin's military strength is relatively strong. There are [-] elite soldiers in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. These are the basic troops that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji rely on, and they are also their elite troops. Their combat effectiveness is strong. In addition, there are There are two Mongolian banners, namely Mongolian Right Camp and Mongolian Left Camp, and one banner of the Han Army, so there are eleven banners in total.”

"Among the eleven banners, the situation of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is very clear. I won't say much. The two banners of Mongolia should not be underestimated. The Mongols are good at fighting on horseback. Disregarding life and death, blindly acting recklessly, such cavalry is not easy to deal with."

"Finally, I will talk about the Han Army One Banner. Among them is Kong Youde, a scum that you all know. Kong Youde is familiar with the combat capabilities and tactical qualities of our Ming soldiers. After surrendering, after the Jin Dynasty, it is already a serious problem. Moreover, the Han Army One Banner focuses on using cannons. Such heavy weapons can even threaten my Ming army."

"Based on this calculation, Houjin's military strength already exceeds one hundred thousand."

"Let's see Jiangning Camp again."

"Jiangning Battalion was established less than a year ago. At present, there are 87 soldiers. They have experienced seven battles. Among them, the beheading is not stained with mud. Wait, it was all a fierce battle, and this time beheading [-] Tartars was even more thrilling, and the number of soldiers killed in the Jiangning battalion has exceeded a thousand."

"At first glance, the Jiangning Battalion has gone through so many battles and already has a lot of actual combat experience, but I understand a truth, two fists are hard to beat with four legs, and the nine thousand soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion are all brave Even if it is, it cannot resist the post-Gold One Hundred Thousand Sergeant.”

"I said this, not to increase the prestige of others and destroy one's own ambition, but to seek truth from facts. I participated in every fight in the Jiangning camp. The sword is ruthless. It is not easy for the Jiangning camp to grow. Every step is full of blood and tears. Jiangning camp It is still growing and needs to gather strength, if it is pulled out prematurely, there will be no harm but no benefit."

"The second reason is insufficient accumulation."

"Jiangning Battalion has such a strong combat effectiveness, it needs a lot of gold, silver, food and grass to support it. The soldiers of Jiangning Battalion are all sergeants galloping on the battlefield. They don't have troops and don't need to farm. They are professional soldiers. Their mission is to Going to battle to kill the enemy is to protect the country of our Ming Dynasty, farming is not their task, they have to train every day, and the Spring Festival is no exception."

"The expenditure required to maintain such an army, I don't say anything, your lords are also clear. Here, I dare not hide it. Most of the income of Jiangning County will be used to maintain the expenditure of the Jiangning camp. It must be absolutely guaranteed. It doesn't matter how much the Jiangning camp spends, even if the county government is poorer."

"The purpose of doing this is to maximize the morale of the Jiangning battalion."

"I need to gather enough money and food, at least to guarantee the expenses of the Jiangning camp for more than three years. With food in hand, I don't panic. With this kind of confidence, can all the soldiers of the Jiangning camp throw their heads and blood, go forward and protect We will destroy the country, wipe out the bandits, wipe out the eight banners of Manchuria, two banners of Mongolia, and one banner of the Han army."

"The third reason is military expansion."

"The Jiangning camp in my eyes must be invincible. No matter what kind of environment it is in, it must be outstanding in attacking the city, facing the enemy head-on, and defending the city. , you can face to face, fight with real swords and guns, and you can completely overwhelm your opponent in terms of momentum."

"In every battle, the minister's request to the Jiangning battalion is to make dumplings, not to drive away ducks. The popular explanation is to gather and annihilate the opponents, and eliminate the opponent's vital forces to the greatest extent. It is not to drive the opponent away. All along, The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion all did this."

"In this way, the existing [-] soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion seem a little thin. If the opponent is too large, the Jiangning Battalion will not be able to bear it. Every battle cannot wipe out the effective forces to deal with it to the maximum. This is for the Jiangning Battalion. Said to be the biggest consumption."

"So, what I mean is that the Jiangning Battalion should immediately expand its army to more than 3 soldiers. With more than [-] soldiers, even if it faces a crowd of [-], I can guarantee that the Jiangning Battalion will definitely win the final victory. .”

"Your Majesty, my lords, this is my true opinion. I sincerely ask for your emperor's permission and your lord's understanding and support."

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was very quiet.

Not only Wen Tiren and others, but Zhu Youjian was also shocked by Su Tiancheng's arrogance.

They didn't expect that Su Tiancheng's plan was so far-reaching and his requirements were so high. (To be continued. Welcome to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets,
