Ming politicians

() What Su Tiancheng said is basically a confession, and there is very little to hide. Of course, he can't say anything evil, such as thinking about the safety of the Jiangnan camp guards, thinking about cultivating them More generals will infiltrate the guards of the Ming Dynasty, establish a new type of military concept, and so on. These things involve imperial power. If it is said, not only will the Jiangning Camp not be able to guarantee its existence, but it will also be kicked out. .

Zhu Youjian was very happy, and summoned the cabinet ministers, as well as the six ministers and the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all to the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The original purpose was to let Su Tiancheng explain well, and now this purpose has finally been achieved up.

He has already listened to Wang Cheng'en's suggestions regarding the arrangement of the Jiangning battalion. It is useless to be anxious. The number of officers and soldiers lost by the imperial court in the battle with the bandits and Houjin is already a huge number, and the expenditure of silver taels is even more astronomical. , but if you want to fight, you must have the support of Yinliang. Judging from the situation of Jiangning Camp, everything is still immature.

Su Tiancheng said all of this frankly, with sufficient reasoning and sincere words. The short-term arrangements and long-term plans are all available, and it should be feasible.

He looked at the ministers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and was about to speak.

At this moment, Wen Tiren spoke first.

"What Master Su said is indeed reasonable, and I agree with it, but there is a very important problem here. I don't know how long it will take for the Jiangning camp to prepare. If this time is up, it will be indefinitely. It is impossible for the court to wait. of."

The problem, on the face of it.There is nothing to say and do after all.They all need a time limit. You can't prepare for ten or twenty years. With a clear time requirement, everyone can feel at ease.

However, those who are familiar with Yuan Chonghuan's ending know that this question contains too much content.

When Yuan Chonghuan first took office, Zhu Youjian trusted him very much, almost to the extent that Yuan Chonghuan would give him what he wanted.Yuan Chonghuan said that Liaodong could be pacified in five years, so Liaodong would be pacified in five years. Yuan Chonghuan said that he wanted to abolish the establishment of the governor of Liaodong, so he would abolish the establishment of the governor of Liaodong. The army wants silver.Then give money, if you want food, then give food.

This kind of trust has reached the point where it cannot be added.

But what was the final result? Yuan Chonghuan committed suicide without permission, so that Hou Jin no longer had to worry about the future.Four months after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the Houjin army made a long-distance expedition and entered the customs from the Jimen area, and they went straight to the north stable, and they ignored their old nest.No scruples, because there is no restraint in the rear.

The thing is.Yuan Chonghuan knew nothing about such a large military operation. As the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Deputy Chief of the Right, who supervised Liaodong, it is impossible to forgive such a big mistake.

This incident greatly stimulated Zhu Youjian. The officials he absolutely trusted, after taking office, did things that were chilling. Since then, Zhu Youjian has rarely trusted ministers so much.

Therefore, the question Wen Tiren just posed was very difficult to answer. This question made people unconsciously think of Yuan Chonghuan.

Zhu Youjian's complexion has undergone a subtle change, it is impossible for him not to think of the past.

Su Tiancheng was prepared, he had already vaccinated Zhu Youjian in advance, Zhu Youjian is the emperor, no matter what the officials below, the emperor should trust him, this must be done.

"The time I planned is three years. Of course, these three years do not mean that the Jiangning Camp is in Jiangning County. Regardless of anything else, the Jiangning Camp is the army of the imperial court, not the armed forces of the minister. The Jiangning Camp is the main force. His mission is to be loyal to the emperor and obey the orders of the imperial court. The minister explained so much before that it is for the better development of the Jiangning camp and for the Jiangning camp to play a greater role. During these three years, the main tasks of the Jiangning camp The task is to eliminate the bandits and at the same time develop and strengthen itself. The Jiangning Camp has already confronted the bandits a few times and has gained some experience..."

Before Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Wen Tiren spoke again.

"Master Su is very good. His Excellency Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, has also mentioned many times that the Jiangning Battalion will participate in the combat mission of exterminating the bandits. From this point of view, Master Su agrees with this point of view."

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it became even quieter. If the Jiangning Battalion wanted to wipe out the bandits, they would also have to be dispatched to the north.

Zhu Youjian also looked at Su Tiancheng, wanting to hear what Su Tiancheng had to say.

"I have already explained before that the Jiangning camp needs to expand its army and gather food and grass. Perhaps these reasons are not sufficient. Let me explain again."

"The rogues are used to fighting on the move, and they can change places with one shot. This sentence means that the rogues are good at speculating. If they win, they will fight desperately to make way for them. The containment of the baggage and the flexibility of movement, so when the officers and soldiers wiped out them, it was a headache."

"The rogue bandits are mainly active in Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Henan, and they settle in places with large mountains and sparsely populated areas. The Jiangning camp has confronted the rogue bandits several times, and has summed up a set of experiences, that is, to completely wipe out their vital forces, especially for all kinds of rogue bandits. The leader of the first level must never be let go, and in an emergency, even if it costs a huge price, the bandit leader must be captured and beheaded."

"The frontal battle I mentioned earlier is to emphasize that when fighting the rogues, no matter what the situation is, the leader of the bandit cannot be let go. To capture the thief, first capture the king. As long as the leader of the rogues is completely beheaded, the rest It's impossible to pose much of a threat."

"I can also explain that the reason why I have such an idea is because the rogues are the people of my Ming Dynasty after all, and most of the soldiers at the bottom are forced to follow the rebellion. The ultimate goal is to have food. At the same time as the attack, we must also pay attention to the restoration of production, so that the common people can live and work in peace and contentment, and they are unwilling to rebel, or even reject the rogues. As for facing the Houjin army, the minister’s opinion is to shoot and kill them, regardless of whether they surrendered or not. The Houjin is a barbarian. Uneducable, coveting my Ming Dynasty, the early attack must be ruthlessly strangled, making them afraid, knowing that offending my Ming's majesty, will not get good results, the minister has always praised a word, anyone who dares to offend my Daming's majesty, although You will be punished far away."

"So, what I think is that the Jiangning battalion is necessary to wipe out the bandits, but it's not because I've been transferred around and exhausted. I haven't listed a specific plan yet, but what I really think is that the Jiangning battalion must take action to wipe out the bandits. , not subject to all forces."

"I can assure you that the Jiangning Camp will do its best to wipe out the bandits and Houjin."

Wen Tiren stopped talking.

He is very smart. In fact, Zhu Youjian's stance today, he has already understood the meaning in it. If the Jiangning battalion was deployed to the Shanhaiguan area, the emperor would not call all the ministers to discuss it in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He had already made an order. , The reason why there is today's discussion is that it means favoring the Jiangning camp.

For the sake of Su Tiancheng's words, it doesn't make much sense to criticize him again, and the emperor's expression is very excited, it seems that he deeply believes in Su Tiancheng's words.

Su Tiancheng is not simple, he did not simply pat his chest to express his opinion, this is very different from Yuan Chonghuan, he analyzed the current situation, and also analyzed the power comparison between the rogues and Hou Jin, their respective characteristics, and the more powerful Yes, Su Tiancheng mentioned the people's livelihood, emphasizing that only when the common people live and work in peace and contentment can the locality be truly stable.

Treating the rogues and Houjin differently, this is something that court officials have reached a consensus on. Show mercy to the rogues and be cruel and ruthless to Houjin, which is in line with the emperor's idea.

So, in today's debate, Su Tiancheng won.

Zhu Youjian spoke directly without seeking the opinions of the other ministers.

"Okay, what Su Aiqing said is very good, I will handle it according to what you said, and I am waiting for your good news."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you."

"I still have something to say, the Jiangning camp's salary expenses are responsible for themselves, the court will not be responsible, Su Aiqing, I know you are in a difficult situation, but the court is even more in a difficult situation. Everywhere needs to be spent and is stretched. This matter of Jiangning camp's salary will be resolved in the future. Don't mention it, I still want to sum up the experience of Jiangning County, and call on the prefectures and counties to learn from this experience and ensure the military expenditure of the guards to the maximum."

Su Tiancheng was taken aback. Whether this kind of experience can be fully promoted, other places can't do it. He thought hard to establish Zhongxing Institute, the purpose is to lay a solid foundation. The current cost of maintaining the Jiangning Camp The method is also a temporary measure, and it is impossible to persist for a long time. Once the local government is on the right track, it still needs to be changed.

However, the emperor has already spoken, this is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Su Tiancheng is not stupid enough to directly refute the emperor's words.

"I think that Su Aiqing has a good opinion on the matter of the Jiangning battalion conscription. You can recruit soldiers in the area of ​​Baoding Prefecture in Beizhili. Su Aiqing decides all matters on her own."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you."

Surrounded by various eyes, Su Tiancheng left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The father-in-law who led the way, when Su Tiancheng left the Forbidden City, whispered a word, saying that the father-in-law admired Su Tiancheng's words very much.

After walking out of the Forbidden City, Su Tiancheng looked up to the sky and sighed, finally overcoming this difficulty.

The next step is to recruit soldiers. He plans to recruit 1 soldiers in the northern Zhili area. This is actually to reduce the burden on the north, transfer the wealth of the south in a disguised form, and help the people in the north to tide over the difficulties. There is absolutely no problem in supporting a family. Ten thousand sergeants means that [-] families are guaranteed.

The Jiangning battalion soldiers who came to the stables were unable to leave for the time being. A few seriously wounded were treated in the stables, and the rest followed to recruit soldiers. As for the two adults, Sun Chengzong and Lu Shanji, including their families, the court can Send out sergeants and escort them to Jiangning County. (To be continued.
