Ming politicians

Chen Xinjia didn't know Su Tiancheng very well. The two had never worked together. After Su Tiancheng became the second place in the palace examination, he was always released. If he was not an official in the capital, the two had no chance to meet and work together. Su Tiancheng had repeatedly achieved success. Daming's stability has made a huge contribution, which cannot be denied, and Chen Xinjia fully admits it. It should be said that Chen Xinjia, who went to Liaodong to serve as the governor, has absolutely no intention of competing with Su Tiancheng. Even if the emperor asks him to assist Su Tiancheng, He is also willing. He has made great contributions, and he is not qualified to challenge him.

But deep down in his heart, Chen Xinjia is still looking forward to making contributions, so that he can get promoted, gain more power, and prove his own worth. From this perspective, Chen Xinjia hopes that he can decide the affairs of Liaodong alone.

Chen Xinjia's goal was achieved, and Su Tiancheng left Liaodong. Although he was still the governor of Ji Liao, the affairs of Liaodong were completely decided by Chen Xinjia, and during this process, Su Tiancheng, who was far away in Dengzhou, did not raise any issues. Chen Xinjia was very grateful for his suggestions, and he did not interfere with Liaodong's affairs, and thought Su Tiancheng was very smart.

The reason why Jiangning Camp was not moved was because Chen Xinjia had a special thought. On the one hand, he thought that Su Tiancheng would not interfere in the affairs of Liaodong. The huge frontier army can completely control the situation in Liaodong. Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Xinjia once mentioned this matter in the secret book, but the emperor did not give any answer, which shows that the emperor does not necessarily support him to control Jiangning Ying, the clever Chen Xinjia, will never come hard.

After deciding to launch an attack on the Houjin Tartars.Chen Xinjia was still very worried. After all, Su Tiancheng's ability was there. If he worked hard to prepare, the emperor ordered Su Tiancheng to be the coach.If I assist Su Tiancheng by myself, wouldn't it be a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket, and all the preparations are to make wedding clothes for others. [

The emperor's imperial decree came down very soon. In fact, before the imperial decree came down, Chen Xinjia already knew that Tang Shiji, the second assistant of the cabinet, supported him to become the coach of the Golden Tartars after the conquest.The emperor adopted Tang Shiji's suggestion.

Being able to become the coach of the Golden Tartars after the conquest is an extraordinary thing. Su Tiancheng's influence is too great. It is estimated that many adults in the imperial court think that Su Tiancheng should be the coach. At this time.Tang Shiji supported himself as the coach, which gave him a chance to make contributions. Such kindness is unusual.

Chen Xinjia knew better that having such an opportunity had a lot to do with Tang Haitai. Tang Haitai often wrote letters to Tang Shiji during the process.Tang Haitai must have said a lot of good things about himself, and he fully supported him.

Because of this incident, Chen Xinjia paid more attention to Tang Haitai. He also thought of giving Tang Haitai a chance to be promoted in the process of conquest of the post-Gold Tartars in the future, so that Tang Haitai could be promoted naturally. , Chen Xinjia also intentionally let Tang Haitai participate.Tang Haitai's participation is actually Tang Shiji's participation, so that the battle plan he submitted will be approved by the cabinet and the possibility of being approved by the emperor is even greater.

After Qian Qianyi left.Chen Xinjia approached Tang Haitai. There were a few core questions related to this battle. He wanted to ask Tang Haitai. Perhaps Tang Haitai would have some opinions, or he might not say anything, but he had to clarify his opinions, so that Can let Tang Shiji know.

After Tang Haitai entered the wing, Chen Xinjia was not polite.

"Tang Haitai, sit down and talk."

"I don't know what your lord has ordered, but I will do my best to do it well."

"Hehe, I have nothing else to do today. I have a few questions. I've been thinking about them to see what your opinion is. Don't worry about it. Just say what you think."

"My lord, I must know if I can't say enough."

"Very well, I'll just say it directly. The first question, do you think the Jiangning Camp should participate in this conquest? The Jiangning Camp is brave and good at fighting. This is a fact that the court knows and cannot be avoided. I have always I am very hesitant, wondering if we should let the Jiangning battalion participate in the conquest, and serve as the main vanguard team."

Tang Haitai froze for a moment, this question is very sensitive, but it is very familiar.

Chen Xinjia raised such a sensitive question, and it also reflected one thing, that is, Chen Xinjia regarded him as a confidant. Such an opportunity is rare. Of course, it also depends on Tang Haitai's own performance.

Tang Haitai definitely wanted to seize this opportunity. Tang Shiji's support was already behind him, and if he could get Chen Xinjia's support, his strength would be even stronger.

After thinking for a while, Tang Haitai spoke.

"Your Excellency trusts me, and I am very grateful. When my lord mentioned whether the Jiangning Battalion will participate in the war, I am bold. I think that the Jiangning Battalion should not participate in the war. There are three reasons. The first is to consider the feelings of the frontier troops. The frontier troops stationed in Liaodong are still dominated by the frontier army. The Jiangning battalion has only 3 people. Relying on these 3 people, it is impossible to decide the direction of the battle. Sergeants, they have high morale and are fully up to the task."

"The second is to consider the bravery of the Jiangning Battalion. Your Excellency will not deny the bravery of the Jiangning Battalion. It is precisely because of the bravery of the Jiangning Battalion that the lower officials are worried. If the Jiangning Battalion participates in the battle, it may be the same. As the boss, he always thinks about leading the battle situation, and there are some things that are not easy to command when an adult commands the battle."

"The third is to take into account the needs of the battle. The Jiangning battalion participated in the battle. I am afraid it will be difficult to handle the relationship with the frontier army and the Yulin battalion. Although the time since I came to Liaodong was not long, I also felt that the frontier army He and the Yulin camp sergeants have a certain fear of the Jiangning camp soldiers. This is probably because the Jiangning camp took down Dalinghe City and showed bravery. If the Jiangning camp participates in the battle, both the frontier army and the Yulin camp will If the Jiangning battalion leads the way, it may have a bad impact on the battle."

Chen Xinjia nodded frequently, and after Tang Haitai finished speaking, he quickly spoke. [

"Tang Haitai, you have thought carefully. It seems that you have been thinking about it during this period of time. I also think the same way. From the overall consideration of the battle, the Jiangning Battalion should not participate in the battle. Listen to what you said. Now, I have strengthened my determination and acted according to the previous deployment."

The expression on Tang Haitai's face was very calm, and his heart was filled with joy.

He didn't want Jiangning Ying to participate in this conquest. His basic idea was that he didn't want Jiangning Ying to make meritorious deeds. This merit naturally fell to Su Tiancheng. How could Jiangning Ying obtain such benefits.

"Tang Haitai, the Guan Ning Jin line of defense is very important. After the conquest, the Golden Tatars must guard the Guan Ning Jin line of defense. Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan cannot have the slightest mistake. If the Jin Tartars take advantage of the When we were attacking, there was a sudden attack. The sergeants stationed at the Guanning Jin line of defense had to resist. Once the Houjin Tartars' attack failed, they would definitely consider retreating quickly. If they stayed here, they might encounter flanking attacks. The entire army has been wiped out, so it is also a very important duty to guard the Guan Ning Jin line of defense, according to your opinion, who is capable of this important task."

What Chen Xinjia meant was to ask Tang Haitai to be fully responsible for the person in charge of guarding the Guanning Jin defense line. In fact, there are only a few people in Liaodong who can take charge of this matter. Chen Xinjia has always been hesitant. Couldn't decide.

This time, Tang Haitai spoke without hesitation.

"The lower official believes that Mr. Qian is the most suitable."

"Oh, why do you think so? Mr. Qian is a civil servant and has never experienced a war. Mr. Hong is the commander of the Jiangning Battalion. He has many years of expeditions and has rich experience."

"I'm still thinking just now. Master Hong is indeed familiar with wars, but Jiangning Battalion has a special status. If Master Hong is in charge of guarding the Guan Ningjin line of defense, there may be problems with the deployment of sergeants, and it will be difficult to coordinate comprehensively. Mr. Qian has been in Liaodong for so long, and he is familiar with the situation in Liaodong, so he is fully competent. The biggest advantage of Mr. Qian in coordinating and directing is that he can be fair."

Chen Xinjia nodded slightly, and he realized that what Tang Haitai said was actually in line with his own thoughts. Could it be that these issues were also Tang Shiji's thoughts? Chen Xinjia knew that Tang Haitai might not have such profound views.

"Yes, you are very thoughtful about the problem."

After asking several questions, Chen Xinjia came to the last question.

"Tang Haitai, after this conquest, the Golden Tatars, would you rather stay in Ningyuan, or follow me to go out to fight, and you will always be by my side."

Such a question does not need to be reminded, Tang Haitai also knows how to answer it.

"The lower official obeys the arrangement of the lord. If the lower official chooses, the lower official must follow the lord. After the battle, the golden tartar."

After coming out of the wing room, Tang Haitai had a smile on his face. Fortunately, he was prepared. Tang Shiji had already mentioned these problems in the letter. He was not prepared at all, and he thought that there was no such opportunity. He did not expect Chen Xinjia to be so Find him soon.

Back in the office, Tang Haitai closed the door. He needed to write a letter immediately. Today's matter must be reported to Tang Shiji immediately.

Tang Haitai was very satisfied. Tang Shiji had thought of many things. As long as he followed Tang Shiji's requirements, he would have a bright future. Chen Xinjia also regarded him as his confidant.The only dissatisfaction is that it is always dangerous to go out to fight with Chen Xinjia. Although he is by Chen Xinjia's side, such an adventure is very necessary, and he cannot back down. (to be continued...)
