Ming politicians

Departing in the first month, all parts of Daming are still immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. After starting from Ningyuan and entering Shanhaiguan, the situation is quite different. Except for Dengzhou, Laizhou and Shandong that are affected, the situation in other places is basically Stable, after the stabilization, the common people think that they can spend the Spring Festival well, and it is the Spring Festival when they can relax all year round.

Su Tiancheng understands this feeling. People's lives are not good, but during the Spring Festival, they are willing to be extravagant, can eat meat and drink, and relatives and friends can visit each other, and the Spring Festival is very important to the hearts of the people. More than all other festivals, this time is a time for family reunion. As for many other festivals, they have gradually become festivals celebrated by scholars or gentry and wealthy households. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Time to celebrate, in order to make a living, but also to keep working hard.

Along the way, Su Tiancheng didn't pursue speed, and just rushed to Dengzhou slowly.

The number of sergeants recruited by Song Sijun reached 1, and the recruitment of sergeants from the Xibe and Daur tribes went very smoothly. In half a month, 2000 soldiers were recruited. The rest of the sergeants are still being assessed. During the process, there were quite a few people who signed up. The Jiangning Camp is located between the two tribes, and its prestige is extraordinary. The young people of the Mongolian tribe are different from those in Guannei. Because of the harsh living conditions, they have been fighting for survival since childhood. , not only fighting with other tribes, but also fighting against the harsh environment. He has long developed a habit of fighting. Hearing that the Jiangning Battalion is going to recruit sergeants, of course everyone signed up enthusiastically.

The 1 people who had been recruited set off on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and rushed directly to Dengzhou to serve as soldiers of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou.Responsible for the admission of these new sergeants.

Although it was said to form a naval division, Su Tiancheng did not intend to use recruits to form a naval division. The naval division was part of the Jiangning Battalion, and the main sergeants were still composed of soldiers from the Jiangning Battalion. These recruited sergeants.The focus is on training to become strange soldiers and infantry, especially the sergeants recruited from the Xibe and Daur tribes, they must be trained as strange soldiers.

The role of the navy is very important. In the future, it will be able to control the attempted troops at sea, including Zheng Zhilong, who is also a potential opponent of Su Tiancheng. The navy formed by Su Tiancheng is not a navy in the ordinary sense. Equipped to go on the warship.Moreover, the power of the artillery is extraordinary. In this regard, the Jiangning Battalion has an inherent advantage. Bi Maokang has been developing artillery in the Anning Fort area, and developing artillery for the navy has become the main task.

Su Tiancheng has very high requirements for the navy. Zheng Zhilong of Fujian has a strong navy, which he formed himself.If you can't achieve a high starting point, it will be difficult to gain a foothold.Zheng Zhilong is from a pirate background, but he is not so polite. He sent sailors to harass him. You can just watch. Besides, pirates are used to life at sea.You are on land, you have nothing to do with others, besides, Su Tiancheng also knows that the navy in the west is very developed.It won't take long to run rampant in the world.

Guarding the city relies on cavalry and infantry, but expanding the territory still requires sailors. Whether Daming can truly become strong will depend on sailors in the future.

After time travel, Su Tiancheng's real wish is to let Daming dominate the world. To achieve this goal, there are too many things that need to be done. Strictly speaking, Su Tiancheng's formation of the navy is definitely not about dealing with the little Hou Jin. of.

Leaving Shanhaiguan, the brigade entered Beizhili.

Su Tiancheng first wanted to go to Gaoyang County in Baoding Prefecture. He was going to pay homage to Sun Chengzong. In addition, he had to fulfill his promise. Although Sun Chengzong's descendants still needed to guard the spirit in Gaoyang County, he could make arrangements in advance. , Sun Chengzong's children and grandchildren can go directly to Dengzhou.

Entering Gaoyang County, Su Tiancheng noticed that the atmosphere here was very bad. Although it was the 22nd of the first lunar month, it was still the first lunar month, so there should be a strong festive atmosphere.

There are only a dozen or so people who follow Su Tiancheng, Wang Dazhi and Liu Tiehan are not by his side, but these people have followed Su Tiancheng for a long time, and each of them has undue courage. There are not so many people in the team anymore. Among them, 500 people escorted Chunping and Su Mingyue to Dengzhou first, leaving 500 people by Su Tiancheng's side.

When entering Gaoyang County, Su Tiancheng didn't want to cause any trouble. He also went to pay homage to Sun Chengzong on the way to Dengzhou, so all the people in the brigade looked for a place to live outside the city.

Soon, through talking with the common people on the street, Su Tiancheng knew the reason for the bad atmosphere in Gaoyang County. It turned out that it was because of Sun Chengzong's death.

This surprised Su Tiancheng a little. Unexpectedly, Sun Chengzong had such a great influence in Gaoyang County. Ordinary people felt sad for his death. The glory of the family, but the chief assistant of the cabinet is not necessarily loved by the common people.

During the next conversation, Su Tiancheng found out that when Sun Chengzong was dismissed from office, he did a lot of good things for the people in the county, including appealing for the interests of the people. Officials respect Sun Chengzong very much, and they also take the initiative to discuss any major issues.

The common people remembered the benefits of Sun Chengzong. When the news of Sun Chengzong's death spread to Gaoyang County, many people cried bitterly. When the coffin returned to Gaoyang County, countless people went out of the city to greet him.

Sun Chengzong's hometown is not far from the county seat, and Sun Chengzong's cemetery is not far from his hometown's mansion.

When Su Tiancheng arrived, Sun Quan and everyone knelt down to greet Su Tiancheng.

The teachings of Sun Chengzong before his death are clear to everyone in the Sun family. Although Su Tiancheng is young, he and Sun Chengzong are close friends. Su Tiancheng is the court official whom Sun Chengzong admires the most. Except for Sun, and the youngest son, Sun Pei, the rest all follow Su Tiancheng to do things.

Su Tiancheng helped Sun Quan who was kneeling on the ground, and motioned for the rest to stand up. Sun Quan was close to 60 years old, older than Su Tiancheng's father. Kneeling in front of him, Su Tiancheng was I'm sorry, but it's a necessary etiquette.

Su Tiancheng could go directly to worship Sun Chengzong, but he insisted on following the etiquette of the younger generation. After wearing hemp and filial piety, he followed Sun Quan and others to the cemetery.

Su Tiancheng knelt down and kowtowed to offer incense, while Sun Quan, on behalf of his family, knelt beside him.

The worship ended soon, and Su Tiancheng then went to pay a special visit to Sun Chengzong's widow.

After returning to the house, Su Tiancheng thought, there are some things that he needs to explain carefully, otherwise after leaving Gaoyang County, Sun Yue and others will have to search for it for a long time.

According to the rules of the imperial court, after the parents died of illness, the son needs Ding You. During this time, he cannot be an official, nor can he do things in the court. He didn't agree very much, but he also felt that this was a kind of admiration for filial piety, something that a state of etiquette must pay attention to.

Sun Siming and Sun Sizong are also in Gaoyang County. They are not by Su Tiancheng's side for the time being. They have been granted a period of vacation to go home for the funeral. They don't need Ding You. After all, they are separated by one floor. Soon we will go back to Shaanxi and Henan respectively.

After all, it was Sun Siming and Sun Sizong who had seen the world. After sitting down, Sun Siming spoke first.

"The younger generation heard that your lord is going to Dengzhou. I don't know if that's the case."

Su Tiancheng nodded, did not speak, he was also thinking, how to say all the things that should be said, if it takes three years, the daylily will be cold, but before three years, the descendants of the Sun family will violate Filial piety.

"My lord is going to Dengzhou, what request does this junior have, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"If you think of something, just say it."

"The younger generation and younger brother Sun Siming both want to go to Dengzhou and follow the adults."

Su Tiancheng shook his head. Before Sun Chengzong died, he did not make such an arrangement. It was actually a painstaking effort. Sun Chengzong's descendants could not completely follow him. The future development is uncertain. Follow his own There must be danger around me, and in a few years, I will start a large-scale fight with Hou Jin. It will be a life-and-death fight, and the degree of tragedy is unpredictable. Struggle, kill without blood.

"You should still do things in Shanxi and Henan with peace of mind. For the time being, don't have other thoughts. The grand master has gone. Before the old man died, he asked you to do things. You must do your best."

After saying these words, Su Tiancheng spoke to Sun Quan.

"Brother Sun Quan, I have always remembered the entrustment of the boss before his death, but the matter of guarding the spirit is the biggest thing, and we must not neglect it. This is how I think about it. Brother Sun Quan and Sun Er Brother can guard the spirit in Gaoyang County, and third brother Sun Qian can go to Qingzhou to do things. As for the fourth brother Sun Yu and the fifth brother Sun Yue, they can go to Jiangning camp to hone their skills, and Sun Zhihang also follows him to Jiangning camp Go, you first need to adapt to the environment, wait for a while, I will consider other arrangements, Sun Pei went to the capital to study, if you have any difficulties, just find me, as long as I can do my best, I will definitely help. "

That night, Su Tiancheng lived in Sun Chengzong's old house, he did not go to the inn in the county seat.

He is about to face a new future. After ten years, Su Tiancheng's mind slowly began to change. This is also forced by the actual situation. There must be a change. He doesn't know if he can still grasp it well. On the premise of the minimum loss, let Daming develop on the road of prosperity and strength. (To be continued..)
