Ming politicians

() A smile appeared on Qin Sande's face again, and this time the smile seemed quite sincere.

"Hey, our family knows that Mr. Su is loyal and loyal. Those adults in the court are really talking nonsense with their eyes open, and they also said that Mr. Su has ulterior motives. Our family sees that they are the ones who have different intentions. "

Qin Sande's words are a bit too big. Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng is not easy to answer.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng didn't speak, Qin Sande finally reached a very important point.

"Lord Su, our family sees that the emperor is also a bit embarrassed. In the imperial court, so many adults have stood up and said some unpleasant things. Our family thinks that the emperor must be annoyed. We are also anxious after thinking about it. "

"Eunuch, the next official has already thought of these things. If you want to come to such a situation, it will disappear in a short time."

"Hehe, our family trusts Mr. Su."

Regarding this matter, Su Tiancheng didn't want to make any promises. Although he guessed that Qin Sande might be entrusted by others, he wanted to hint to himself that he should be more careful in doing things, so as not to embarrass the emperor, but this kind of thing, He will not agree, this is his bottom line, he wants the Donglin Party in the imperial court to shut up, unless you give up all policies, protect the interests of big bureaucrats and great gentry, and vent your anger with Donglin Party and Fushe In this way, it doesn't make much sense to travel to the Ming Dynasty by oneself. Thinking about changing history is just a dream, and will eventually be swallowed by the torrent.

Qin Sande's topic changed quickly, and he stopped talking about Jiangning County.

"Oh, Mr. Su doesn't know. Recently, bandits have started to rampant again."

"Oh. Did something happen again?"

"That's right, in the winter month of last year, considering that the rogue bandits still suffered many blows, the emperor thought of a thorough clean-up and suppression. All the government troops in Baoding Prefecture, Henan Province, and Shanxi Province in Beizhili encircled and suppressed the rogue bandits who were still in Shaanxi and Shanxi. , who knew that the rogue bandits had divided their forces again, some of them went to Henan, some went to Huguang, and some stayed in Shaanxi and Shanxi. So far, the government and army have not been able to make a major breakthrough. The emperor has had a bad year. .”

"Is that so, father-in-law, a few years ago, I went to Baoding Mansion to recruit soldiers."

"Master Su went to Baoding Mansion that time. When he met the Tartars, he naturally couldn't pay attention to this matter. Our family was also surprised. When the rogues harassed on a large scale, why did the Tartars join in the fun?"

Su Tiancheng blinked.

He has always been a little strange, the last time he was in Dingxing County, Baoding Prefecture.I actually met a sergeant of the Eight Banners after Jinman. Such a thing, no matter what, is somewhat unexplainable. It turned out that it was that time.The imperial court is doing all it can to wipe out the bandits.This is naturally a good opportunity, the imperial army has been drawn to Shanxi and Henan.The power in the north is naturally weaker. How could Houjin give up such a good opportunity.

According to the development of history, the situation of two-front warfare in the Ming Dynasty would last until the day when it collapsed. The situation is getting out of hand.During this period, it is not without opportunities. It is a good way to negotiate peace with Houjin. At least you can concentrate your energy, wipe out the bandits, and then fight to the death with Houjin. Unfortunately, this method will not work. The actual situation of the imperial court, blindly demanding toughness, can't negotiate a peace even if they die. According to their impassioned statement, losing their heads is just that big of a deal.

The time when there was a sign of a peace negotiation was the time when the Donglin Party took control of the government. The Donglin Party resolutely opposed the negotiation. The members of the Donglin Party transformed themselves and became loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Their lives were saved and they continued to be officials or scholars, but the Ming Dynasty really perished.

When Su Tiancheng had a conversation with Wen Tiren last time, he talked about the peace talks. The Ming Dynasty would definitely not be able to fight on two fronts. War means the consumption of silver. Without silver, it is impossible to win a battle. The Ming Dynasty was unable to maintain two-front warfare at all. If it was forced to persist like this, it would eventually make the court unsustainable, and even come to the brink of collapse.

However, what Su Tiancheng thought more practically was Jiang Ning Ying.

When Qin Sande said this, he must have thought of Jiang Ningying.

Sure enough, Qin Sande took the initiative to mention Jiangning Camp.

"Lord Su, the Jiangning Battalion is really brave. Our family thinks that it is impossible for the Jiangning Battalion to stay in Jiangning County for a long time. There are two big battalions in Nanjing, which are enough to protect them."

When it came to Jiangning Camp, Su Tiancheng had no choice but to speak up.

"Elder-in-law, you know that the Jiangning Battalion currently has [-] soldiers, [-] of whom are recruits and have not yet formed combat effectiveness. Moreover, the Jiangning Battalion still lacks armor and weapons. Thanks to the assistance from the two battalions, it is the Spring Festival. During this period, the soldiers did not relax their training, they were still persevering, and under the current circumstances, it is still difficult to go out."

"Our family is also aware of the situation Mr. Su mentioned. We just talk about it. Thinking about the emperor's bad year, our family feels uncomfortable."

Su Tiancheng felt a bit chilly, Qin Sande said such words, it was nothing at all, he could say such nasty words in the palace for a long time, but such words, at this moment, he said Listen, it's not a taste, it seems to be a kind of persecution to myself.

"Elder-in-law, the lower officials also know that the harassment of bandits is a serious problem for my Ming Dynasty. It is because of the anxiety that the lower officials stepped up to train the soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion. After the new year, the Jiangning Battalion will continue to recruit [-] soldiers. , within one year, all [-] soldiers will be able to form combat effectiveness."

"Our family is a little worried, but we don't know if the time will be enough."

Su Tiancheng didn't speak anymore.

The actions of the bandits are almost the same as those of Hou Jin, which also shows that Hou Jin has done a good job in intelligence work. Of course, this intelligence work is not so complicated.

Su Tiancheng thought of Huang Zaisheng, the eyeliner he had placed in Houjin. After such a long time, Huang Zaisheng had not sent any information, so there should be news. <Jie, our family has said so many frustrating words, Mr. Su, don't think too much, well, the banquet is almost ready. "

"The things my father-in-law said are all for the benefit of the lower officials. The lower officials will keep them in mind. Please rest assured, the Jiangning battalion will definitely strengthen the training and will never stay in Jiangning County for a long time."

"Our family knows, we know."

Eunuchs seldom drink alcohol. They are physically disabled and afraid of heat and cold. Generally speaking, scholar-officials seldom eat at the same table with eunuchs, and they all think it is a shame.

Qin Sande can drink.

When drinking with Su Tiancheng, Qin Sande was in high spirits. After toasting Zhu Shenxin in the back room, he asked the eunuch to remove the wine glass and bring up the blue and white bowl.

But Qin Sande couldn't drink Su Tiancheng.

Qin Sande soon got a little drunk.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Qin Sande, who was a little drunk, once again uttered an important news.

The adjustment of officials in Jiangning County will be carried out soon, that is, in the next few days, the imperial edict from the Ministry of Officials will arrive. It is estimated that the officials who will take office in Jiangning County are already on their way. This time the adjustment of officials in Jiangning County, the emperor is Those who personally intervened and denied several plans.It is almost unheard of for the emperor to be so concerned about the adjustment of officials in a county, and it is the adjustment of the county magistrate and Zhu Bo. It can be seen that the status of Jiangning County is very important.

Qin Sande never said who came to Jiangning County, nor did Su Tiancheng ask. The news he got from Qu Qingze may not be completely accurate, and there may be changes in the middle, but through the adjustment of the officials this time, Su Tiancheng Tian Cheng was able to smell a direction.

Qin Sande insisted on sending Su Tiancheng and Zhu Shenxin outside the imperial city. He could not stand still and was supported by the eunuch.

When Su Tiancheng was about to leave, the mumbled Qin Sande suddenly said something.

"Master Su, time is running out, at most one year, one year..."

Not long after returning to the mansion, Su Pingyang invited Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting went straight to the study and saw Su Tiancheng's serious expression. He was startled. Everyone was happy for the New Year's Eve, so Su Tiancheng didn't have much to worry about.

"General Sun, the Jiangning Battalion can't take a rest. All the soldiers will start training on the fifth day of the first lunar month, especially the [-] new recruits. They must adapt to everything as quickly as possible. I mean, half a year at most. All the soldiers must be able to go to the battlefield, I know it is difficult, especially for recruits, but the time cannot be postponed."

Before Sun Chuanting could speak, Su Tiancheng made another request.

"After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Jiangning Battalion recruited sergeants again. This time, the goal was to face Nanzhili and Zhejiang. The number of sergeants recruited was still 1. All the money will be allocated to the Jiangning camp, and three-quarters of the stored food will be allocated to the Jiangning camp.”

"General Sun, my request is that all the sergeants can be pulled out within half a year without fear of any opponent, including the [-] sergeants who have not yet been recruited. This is a rigid requirement and cannot be shirked."

"As for the expenses needed by the Jiangning Battalion, I will find a way, especially in terms of ordnance. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will go find Master Fan. Master Fan is the commander of the Jiangning Battalion. Seeing that the soldiers have no weapons in their hands and no armor on their bodies. , That’s unreasonable, save as much as you can, the imperial court didn’t allocate a tael of silver, everything depends on ourselves, so we must save where we can, because there is really not enough time.” (To be continued. , You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation,
