Ming politicians

Su Tiancheng knew about Huang Taiji's establishment of the Eight Banners of Han for a long time, and Huang Zaisheng from Shenyang had already sent information. However, since Su Tiancheng left Liaodong, Huang Zaisheng's way of sending information has undergone some changes. Jin Yiwei has a secret line, Qu Qingze has organized an intelligence route, these people are no longer Jin Yiwei's dark line, that is to say, Qu Qingze has started to build an independent intelligence system for Su Tiancheng, but this intelligence system mainly collects The information about Houjin and border gates has not involved the capital and the mainland of Ming Dynasty for the time being.

After receiving the information, Su Tiancheng carefully analyzed the matter.

Not long ago, Huang Taiji established the Houjin Water Division, followed by the establishment of the Han Eight Banners. It is enough to analyze that Huang Taiji's heart and ambitions are gradually expanding. His ultimate goal is to occupy the Central Plains. , Huang Taiji's thoughts will not change.

The news of the establishment of the Han Eight Banners did not have much impact on Su Tiancheng. No matter what Huang Taiji did, it was all due to external factors. Strengthening his own construction was what Su Tiancheng needed to pay attention to.

In the capital city, it was stable for the time being, nothing happened, and no one noticed the situation in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou. Su Tiancheng couldn't wish for such a situation. He just devoted himself to work and built Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou well.

At this time, Lu Shanji's letter arrived.

After receiving Lu Shanji's letter, Su Tiancheng stayed at home for a whole day. No matter who asked to see him, he was blocked by Wang Dazhi. Even Wang Furong, Liu Rushi, Gu Hengbo and others could not see him. Su Tiancheng.

The next day, Su Tiancheng finally walked out of the Governor's Mansion.

Liu Tiehan, Wang Dazhi and others were summoned to the wing room. Su Tiancheng took out some letters and handed them to Liu Tiehan, Wang Dazhi and others.On the letter, there is an individual's name. Su Tiancheng's request is very clear. Within three days, these letters should be handed directly to him.It is not allowed to change hands, and must be handed over to the person in person.

Liu Tiehan, Wang Dazhi and others didn't know what was going on, so they could only follow orders.

These letters were addressed to Hong Chengchou, Xu Eryi, Qu Qingze and others, as well as some of the commanders of the Jiangning camp. Liu Tiehan and Wang Dazhi were very familiar with these people, and there was no problem in sending the letters, but they were strange.Su Tiancheng has repeatedly emphasized that safety is absolutely guaranteed on the road, and if any accident occurs, he would rather destroy the letter than lose it.

Liu Tiehan, Wang Dazhi and others set off immediately without delay.

They didn't bring many people, each took 20 people.Each person is equipped with three best war horses, all of which can travel thousands of miles a day.Guaranteed to send the letter to Liaodong within three days.Such a task is nothing to Liu Tiehan, Wang Dazhi and others, but their hearts are a bit heavy, if it is not a major matter.Su Tiancheng would not arrange for them to go out in person, after all their identities are different.

The situation in Liaodong was equally calm, Xu Eryi and Hong Chengchou were each in charge, and Qin Sande was able to manage the affairs of the frontier army, which was very comfortable.Zu Dashou and others are very respectful to Qin Sande.

After the arrival of Liu Tiehan, Wang Dazhi and others, the calm situation experienced slight fluctuations. However, such fluctuations occurred at the highest level and had no effect on the sergeants below.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Chengchou went to the Governor's Mansion and found Xu Eryi. After an emergency consultation, the two issued a series of orders in the name of the Governor's Mansion.

The 5000 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Dalinghe City transferred 1 people and returned to Ningyuan to stand by. The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Jinzhou City transferred 1 people and returned to Ningyuan to stand by. The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Ningyuan were also transferred 5000 people are ready to go. In this way, there are still more than 2 soldiers stationed in the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Liaodong, including 1 in Dalinghe City, 5000 in Jinzhou, and 1 in Ningyuan. This kind of strength is somewhat weak. Yes, the Yulin camp soldiers stationed in Yulin dispatched 5000 people to Liaodong, of which [-] were stationed in Dalinghe City and [-] were stationed in Jinzhou City.

As long as Dalinghe City and Jinzhou are defended, Houjin will not dare to be rampant at will.

Such a large-scale mobilization of troops was all carried out at night, and no information was allowed to be leaked.

The Jiangning battalion and guard commanders and above who stayed in Liaodong all went to Ningyuan City to stand by, and the command of the troops was in charge of the guard commander.

In the middle and late March, all the deployment and defense matters were completed, and the [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers concentrated in Ningyuan City were going to set off in batches for Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou.

At this moment, a heated argument broke out between Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze.

Ordinarily, Hong Chengchou's status is much higher than Qu Qingze's. There shouldn't be any disputes between the two, but unfortunately such disputes did happen.

"Master Qu, I know Master Su can listen to what you say. I don't need to stay in Liaodong, I can go to Dengzhou as well. I am the commander of Jiangning Battalion, so I should follow the army."

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's just that Master Su has already decided, it's really hard for me to say."

"Is there anything I can't say, sir, what is the purpose of mobilizing the army this time? Although I don't know the exact reason, there must have been some accidents. There are more than 3 Jiangning battalion soldiers left in Liaodong. People, relying on these soldiers to stick to the Guan Ningjin line of defense, there is no problem, since I am sticking to it, there is no need for me to stay here, Master Xu can also command."

"Your Excellency said so, but the lower officials disagree. Lord Su decided to stay in Liaodong. There must be a reason. The lower officials don't know the specific reasons, but I believe that Lord Su will explain clearly."

. . . . . .

The debate lasted for an hour, and Hong Chengchou finally understood that he must stay in Liaodong, but he also analyzed why this large-scale deployment occurred. Later Jin established the Han Eight Banners, which is not a big deal. The thing is, the fighting power of the Han Eight Banners is impossible to compare with the Manchu Eight Banners, so the Han Eight Banners have almost no impact on Liaodong.Hong Chengchou believed that none of the imperial court, including Su Tiancheng, would care about this matter.

But for some unknown reason, Su Tiancheng wrote a letter suddenly, brought tokens, and dispatched so many troops, which means that something big must have happened, otherwise Su Tiancheng would never have done this.

The argument with Qu Qingze was over, and Hong Chengchou didn't want to continue the argument.

"Master Qu, I know that you understand a lot of things. Master Su made a major adjustment this time. I also analyzed many reasons. My personal feeling is that Liaodong may have some changes."

"I don't know what kind of changes the adults are talking about."

Hong Chengchou stared at Qu Qingze for a long time, and after confirming that Qu Qingze might not know the reason for the deployment, he slowly spoke.

"If the prediction is good, the imperial court may have to adjust the command of Liaodong."

Qu Qingze stood up in surprise.

The whole of Liaodong knows the reason. As long as he, Qu Qingze, is alone, this is what Su Tiancheng made clear in the letter. It is also very simple.

Qu Qingze's surprise concealed his attitude very well, and also convinced Hong Chengchou that Qu Qingze really didn't know.

"My lord, I think it's unlikely. If the imperial court is going to make adjustments, how could Mr. Su know about it, and if the imperial court knows about it, how would he know about it?"

"It's not a big deal. It's an adjustment every day. Your lord can deploy defenses. Even if you adjust, as long as your lord is still the governor of Ji Liao, you can still deploy troops. According to my prediction, the court may have thought of it." , Your Excellency is in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, and needs to be busy with naval affairs, and he is a little too late in energy, so he is ready to adjust."

Qu Qingze made an expression of disbelief.

"Your Excellency said so, but the lower officials can't believe it, and it's not that the lower officials are flattering Mr. Su. No matter who is sent by the imperial court to Liaodong, I'm afraid they can't compare with Mr. Su."

"I believe in the truth you said. In the imperial court, there is indeed no one who can compare with your lord. However, Huang Taiji of Houjin established the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty and is currently forming a navy. It looks like it is about to start. Some adults in the court are a little anxious or flustered. It is not unusual to make such a judgment. The emperor heard these suggestions and adjusted the command of Liaodong. It's a matter of reason."

"Your Excellency said so, and I think it makes sense. The safety of Dengzhou and Laizhou is also very important. If it is a post-gold tartar, relying on navy to attack is also a headache."

"Okay, these are just my personal predictions. I don't know what the situation will be. Tomorrow you will set off with the brigade. When you see your lord, please take me to say hello."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely do it."

Qu Qingze hurried back to his residence, and several men in black were already waiting.

"Remember, stick to Liaodong, but your actions must be kept absolutely confidential. You cover yourself with various identities on weekdays. No matter who you are in front of, don't reveal your identities. Only Master Su and I know your identities. If you develop When you go offline, you must be very cautious and report everything. Remember, it must be a one-way connection. This principle cannot be broken. If there is any danger, rush to Dengzhou quickly."

The men in black nodded and left in the dark.

Qu Qingze sat in the room in a daze. He never imagined that the emperor would make such a decision. Wouldn't it be a decision to destroy the Great Wall? I don't know what Su Tiancheng thinks, and whether there will be huge fluctuations in the Ming Dynasty .

At this time, Qu Qingze's heart had already flown to Dengzhou. (To be continued..)
