Ming politicians

On the first day of February in the 11th year of Chongzhen, Su Tiancheng left the stables and went to Sichuan.

The military affairs of the five provinces of the governor are of extraordinary status and are of great importance. If you enter, you will be a dignitary of the court, and if you leave, you will be the head of the military administration of one side. The governor and the general soldier must obey the governor. The governor can interfere in the province's military and civil affairs. In extreme cases, the governor can directly appoint and dismiss officials below the fourth rank. When the military situation is urgent, the governor can even temporarily suspend the governor.

According to the usual practice, the offices of the governors of the five provinces are generally set up in Kaifeng, Henan or Taiyuan, Shanxi. This is also because bandits often plunder these two places. People don't put themselves in particularly dangerous places.

Governor of the five provinces, although this position is enviable, it can be called the most important task of Wen Shuai, but the governors in the past have not ended very well, which is also normal. The governor has great power and heavy responsibilities. With a direct mission, most of the governors established by the Ming Dynasty had specific responsibilities, either to wipe out the bandits, or to fight against the post-Golden Tartars. However, these two tasks are not so easy to complete. If one is not careful, one cannot do it. Well, the ending couldn't be better.

Lu Shanji's luck is pretty good. Although he failed to achieve good results in exterminating the bandits, he entered the imperial court and became Minister of the Ministry of Industry. As for Sun Chengzong, it goes without saying that he is now the head of the cabinet. auxiliary. [

Su Tiancheng understood that all of this was because he had traveled through time, according to the previous history.It is impossible for an official in this position to have such a good ending.

Su Tiancheng's office location.There are basically no rogues in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Huguang. If it comes to these places, it is completely unnecessary. Besides, with the Jiangning Camp, he is not going to mobilize the rest of the guards.These sergeants don't have much combat effectiveness, and if they really encircle and suppress the bandits, it may be counterproductive.

Therefore, Su Tiancheng, the governor of the five provinces, is actually not worthy of his name.

After the emperor's decree came down, Su Tiancheng immediately made arrangements and directly gave orders to Hong Chengchou.Assemble the Jiangning battalion soldiers, except for the 6 Jiangning battalion soldiers who stayed at Anning Fort and Jingbian Hushi, the remaining 3000 soldiers all set out, detoured Huguang, and stood by in the Shizhou Wei area.Next, he ordered the [-] soldiers from the pro-barracks to march to the stables.

Hong Chengchou served as the commander of the Jiangning battalion, but he did not come to the stables. The emperor's order went directly to Shaanxi. This is also because the Jiangning battalion is about to be launched soon.Hong Chengchou came to the stable to waste time.Nor is it necessary.

Troubles arose during the assembly of the soldiers. The main reason was that Sun Yuankun put forward his opinion that he was unwilling to stay in Shaanxi and wanted to follow the Jiangning battalion to wipe out the bandits. Fortunately, before Su Tiancheng set off to the stables, he left a letter saying, It is said that before the Jiangning battalion assembled and set off, this letter was handed over to Sun Yuankun.After Sun Yuankun read the letter, although he was still a little unhappy, he finally agreed to stay.

When Su Tiancheng gave orders to Hong Chengchou, he wrote a special letter, mainly to tell Hong Chengchou that the Huguang Shizhou Wei area has large mountains and sparsely populated terrain, and the terrain is complex, so special care must be taken along the way. It is said that there are many bandits in these places , During the march of the army, it can assist the local government to wipe out some bandits and restore the peace of the place.

When the three thousand soldiers arrived at the stable, it was when Su Tiancheng set off.

The safety of him, the governor of the five provinces, is of the utmost importance. It is related to the imperial court's plan to wipe out the bandits, but what is more important is the safety of the prince Zhu Cixuan. There must be no accidents.

When leaving, Su Tiancheng wrote a letter to the Governor of Huguang, telling them that His Royal Highness and himself passed through Huguang, and they did not want to interfere with the local government. relevant officials.This kind of greeting must be said in advance, otherwise many ministers will definitely welcome His Highness the Crown Prince grandly. Who wouldn't want to please the future emperor.

On the tenth day of February, after ten days of traveling, Su Tiancheng and his party finally arrived at Shizhouwei.

The reason why he walked for so many days was mainly because he brought Prince Zhu Cifeng with him.

Prime Minister Zhu Ciquan's matter of exterminating the bandits is not that simple. The crown prince still has the necessary style when he travels. There are five hundred Jinyiwei personal guards. The commander is Yao Yong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and Fang Fengnian, Zhan Shi, the minister of rites Accompanied by Yao Minggong, the main task of the two is to prevent the prince from neglecting his studies.

Of course, the main security guards were still in charge of the Jiangning Battalion soldiers.

The background of the Jinyiwei is not small, especially the Jinyiwei who follows the prince, but these Jinyiwei, in front of Su Tiancheng and Jiang Ningying's soldiers, appear to be very well-behaved, and they dare not show off at all. At the age of 25, he is the governor of the five provinces, and he was able to persuade the emperor and empress to fight with the prince. This is not easy. Second, Jin Yiwei is very aware of the reputation of Jiangning Camp. It can be said that although Jin Yiwei thinks he is good at kung fu They have the courage to be undeserved, but in front of Jiang Ningying, they dare not say such words.

After leaving the stable, Su Tiancheng didn't pay so much attention.

The prince Zhu Cifu was originally riding in a carriage, but after leaving the stable, Su Tiancheng suggested that the prince ride a horse. The ten-year-old Zhu Cifu was very happy and rode with Su Tiancheng every day. Fang Fengnian and Yao Minggong would never object. Before leaving the stable, They also accepted special instructions, and all matters were subject to Su Tiancheng's arrangements.

Su Tiancheng was not in a hurry to educate Zhu Cifeng, and explained to Zhu Cifeng what he saw along the way.

A ten-year-old child's "nature" is naturally revealed. When he saw some low houses beside the official road, including high mountains, Zhu Cifeng was very curious. He saw some ordinary people in tattered clothes kneeling on both sides of the official road. , There was also sympathy in his eyes. [

Su Tiancheng felt satisfied with Zhu Cizhen's overall performance, but fortunately Zhu Cizhen did not learn the cunning and eccentricity in the harem, and his nature was good.

The order and prohibition of the Jiangning camp shocked Zhu Cixuan a lot. Su Tiancheng ordered that the people along the road should not be harassed. It was the spring plowing season, and many crop fields could be seen along the road. Sometimes, the army would rather detour than "Harassing" the people who were busy in the fields, when Zhu Cizhen asked, Su Tiancheng told him that the people are the most important, the second son is involved, and the king is the least.

This kind of education is a hundred times better than Zhu Ci's knowledge gained from studying in the deep palace.

Shizhou Wei.

The Jiangning camp is here and set up camp.

The surrounding security was very strict, and Hong Chengchou and the supervisor Qin Sande knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed.

After entering the tent of the Chinese Army, after everyone saluted, Prince Zhu Ci and Su Tiancheng sat down on the left and right.

"His Royal Highness, the minister has begun to deploy military affairs."

"Master Su, please go ahead, I'm here to study, please let Master Su decide everything."

Zhu Ci's composure exceeded everyone's expectations. It's pretty good for a ten-year-old child to have such a performance.

"Commander Hong, report the situation of the Jiangning camp."

"Yes, His Royal Highness, Your Excellency, the Jiangning Camp set out from Shaanxi and arrived at Shizhouwei after seven days. The soldiers who arrived this time totaled 2000 people. Now they are waiting for the enemy, following the arrangements of His Royal Highness and Your Excellency."

"Eunuch Qin, do you have anything to add?"

"His Royal Highness, my lord, the servant has nothing to add. The servant feels that the Jiangning camp is extremely brave and will definitely be able to wipe out the bandits..."

Qin Sande's habitual flattery was probably due to Zhu Ci's presence. Su Tiancheng had no expression on his face. According to the previous rules, he would have interrupted such speeches long ago. Speak in the army is concise and clear, flattering Words, not necessary.

After Qin Sande finished speaking, Su Tiancheng felt that he had to remind him that even if he offended Qin Sande, after all Zhu Ci had to receive a positive education.

"Eunuch Qin, the battle is imminent. Eunuch and Commander Hong lead the Jiangning Battalion and shoulder heavy responsibilities. In the future, when I discuss matters in the account of the Chinese Army, I will try to be as concise as possible. Eunuch has just arrived in Jiangning Battalion. Regarding some things about Jiangning Battalion, I don't know. It's very clear, I'm here to remind you, and I hope the father-in-law doesn't mind."

Qin Sande nodded again and again, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

"Everyone, His Royal Highness, the prime minister, is the greatest encouragement to us. I have decided that the Jiangning battalion will be the main force for the extermination of the rogues. If it is not a last resort, I will not dispatch troops from various guards. So, everyone. You must be mentally prepared. The task of exterminating the bandits this time is arduous. I still want to remind you that the Jiangning Battalion has fought against the bandits many times and has won major victories. I will be able to wipe out the rogues completely and capture Li Zicheng alive, but I want to be highly respected to everyone. From time to time, the soldiers will treat each other with admiration for three days. The rogues have undergone great changes. If you look at it with old eyes, you may encounter to failure."

"Sichuan has a complex terrain, large mountains and few people. Most of the rogues are concentrated in Kuizhou Prefecture, Baoning Prefecture, Longan Prefecture, and Tongchuan Prefecture, and some have entered Chongqing Prefecture. The terrain of these places is similar to that of the south, Shaanxi, and even Shanxi in Henan. They are all different, which increases the difficulty for us to exterminate them. At the same time, the rogue bandits have strict discipline and never harass the people, so they are supported by some people. In times of crisis, there are many places to hide."

"Jiangning camp arrived in Sichuan, and they are not familiar with the place of life. Special attention should be paid to it. There are many pacification divisions and town divisions in Sichuan. Some local people, many of whom are ethnic minorities, have different living customs from ours. After entering Sichuan, we waited The customs of the local people must be respected, and local customs must not be violated, and those who violate them will be punished as violating military orders.”

"This is what I need to order. After you go back, be prepared, the army will set off and enter Sichuan in the future."

"Commander Hong and Eunuch Qin please stay here, and prepare for the rest."
