Ming politicians

Su Tiancheng came to the capital suddenly, and Zhu Youjian was very surprised. Without the imperial decree, Su Tiancheng could not leave Dengzhou, but he came to the capital with such a sound, risking being impeached, regardless of his personal future, there must be someone What's the big deal? Zhu Youjian has already received Chen Xinjia's secret letter. He is excited about Chen Xinjia's deployment. He didn't expect Chen Xinjia to make such a big deployment. Think about it carefully. Speaking of the scale of the battle, it has expanded a lot. Zhu Youjian even planned to issue an order to Su Tiancheng directly when necessary, asking Su Tiancheng to lead the Jiangning battalion to Liaodong. If the deployment is successful, it is possible to deal a devastating blow to the Houjin Tartars.

When Su Tiancheng came to the capital, Zhu Youjian quickly realized that he must have come for the affairs of Liaodong. Hong Chengchou raised objections and had conflicts with Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi. Presumably Hong Chengchou must have informed Su Tiancheng. Could it be that Su Tiancheng came to intercede for Hong Chengchou.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian felt a little unhappy. Chen Xinjia was directly responsible for the affairs of Liaodong, and all arrangements should be based on Chen Xinjia's. Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng made a special trip to the capital to talk about the affairs of Liaodong. Is the hand stretched too long? Could it be that he thought he had a lot of credit for recovering Dalinghe City in Liaodong, and he had to point fingers at all the arrangements and deployments of Liaodong?

With such thoughts, Zhu Youjian's views on Su Tiancheng have changed a bit. If he said that Su Tiancheng's power was restricted before, he still felt uneasy in his heart, but this time, what Su Tiancheng did.It was too much, which made him feel that there were not many problems in the previous handling, and it was fortunate that he handled it this way.

Zhu Youjian has always believed that Su Tiancheng is very smart.Ever since the second place in the high school examination, she has performed very well. She understands a lot of things, and she is not greedy for credit. When it is critical, she knows how to give credit to others.Especially when he appointed Chen Xinjia as the governor of Liaodong, Su Tiancheng never asked about Liaodong's affairs at all. Now that the critical moment has come, Su Tiancheng finally couldn't help it. [

Zhu Youjian didn't intend to meet Su Tiancheng at first, but Wang Chengen persuaded him, saying that Master Su came to the capital on a special trip.Just to see if he can really say something, and to see what Su Tiancheng thinks.Under Wang Chengen's persuasion, including the suggestion of the chief minister of the cabinet Yang Sichang, Zhu Youjian still decided to meet Su Tiancheng.

After Su Tiancheng entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he found that there were only Zhu Youjian and Wang Chengen, and Zhu Youjian looked very bad.

He doesn't care about these things anymore, he has not received the imperial edict.Coming directly to the capital, and for the affairs of Liaodong, Zhu Youjian must be unhappy, and may even have other ideas, but at the critical moment, Su Tiancheng will not think so much, if it is completely for his own benefit, travel through After that, he won't do so many things that take the overall situation into consideration.

After the meeting, Zhu Youjian spoke quickly.

"Su Aiqing. I didn't make an order, so I don't know why you came to the capital."

"Your Majesty, I'm here for the affairs of Liaodong."

Zhu Youjian's face has darkened.

"Why did Aiqing say that? I have already issued an order for matters in Liaodong. It is all decided by Chen Aiqing. You came to the capital suddenly, are you planning to impeach Chen Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, I'm the governor of Jiliao. If you need to care about the situation in Liaodong, the emperor once issued a decree to ask Mr. Chen to assist you in doing things. After you arrive in Dengzhou, you will never forget your responsibilities and care about the affairs of Liaodong at all times. Sometimes, Hong Chengchou also informed his ministers about matters in Liaodong, this time I came to the capital because of the crisis situation, so I ignored other matters and came here to report to the emperor."

Zhu Youjian looked at Su Tiancheng, did not speak, neither asked Su Tiancheng to say anything, nor asked Su Tiancheng not to say anything. This kind of attitude of not knowing whether it is possible or not is actually the biggest negation, which means that Su Tiancheng should not care about Liaodong. Things have happened, I am afraid that after Su Tiancheng leaves the capital, it will be difficult for Hong Chengchou to continue in Liaodong.

Su Tiancheng didn't care about Zhu Youjian's attitude, even though Zhu Youjian was hungry and Wang Chengen was very anxious after death.

"Your Majesty, I have specially brought the sand table, and I implore the emperor to allow you to have a contest with the emperor on the sand table."

Zhu Youjian was very strange, and his curiosity was aroused by Su Tiancheng's idea, so he couldn't help nodding.

The eunuch quickly brought in a huge sand table and placed it in the middle. This sand table was the topographic map of the Guanning Jin line of defense, Heishan, Yizhou, Guangning, Liaohe and even Shenyang.Next to the sand table, there are many small red and blue flags, and a complete map.

Zhu Youjian was a little curious, walked quickly to the front of the sand table, and looked at the sand table carefully.

"Your Majesty, this sand table is the entire terrain of Liaodong, but the key points are highlighted. I want to play a sand table game with the emperor. There are two kinds of flags here, red and blue. The red flag represents our Ming army, and the blue flag represents the empress. For the Golden Tatars, each flag represents 1 people, and I know a little about the deployment of Liaodong, representing the blue side."

Zhu Youjian looked at it carefully for a while, with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll play a sandbox game with you."

The curious Wang Chengen also followed Zhu Youjian and watched the sand table for a while. [

The first confrontation began, and various flags were planted on the sand table and began to move gradually.

Slowly, Zhu Youjian's face began to change. After half an hour, most of the red flags on the sand table were surrounded by blue flags, leaving only Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

Zhu Youjian quickly reacted.

"Su Aiqing, this can't be counted. I know the deployment of the battle, and you know it too. If the Houjin Tatars understand the deployment, this battle will be impossible to win no matter what."

"Your Majesty, for the steps that I just laid out, the Houjin Tartars did not know the relevant deployment, but they made timely adjustments during the fight. This needs to be done as long as the commander-in-chief of the Houjin Tartars is smart enough. Wisdom, I think that for such a large-scale battle, Huang Taiji will definitely personally command, if Huang Taiji can do this, if the situation on the sand table really happens, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger."

While speaking, Su Tiancheng took out the memorial from his arms.

"Your Majesty, this is my analysis. I implore you to read it. I intend to interfere in the affairs of Liaodong, but I absolutely don't want our Ming army to be destroyed in Liaodong. After the conquest of the Liaodong frontier army, the Golden Tartar is my Ming Dynasty. After taking the initiative to attack the Golden Tartars, the battle is very important."

What Su Tiancheng said was very serious.

Zhu Youjian's expression also became serious. He took the memorial and looked carefully.

Soon, Zhu Youjian's face began to turn pale. This memorial was carefully prepared by Su Tiancheng. He made a detailed analysis of the deployment in Liaodong, and listed all the pros and cons. In the deployment of the campaign, Liaodong may suffer the greatest loss, even surpassing Wang Huazhen's fiasco in the second year of Tianqi.

Zhu Youjian kept standing and reading the memorial, forgetting to return to his seat.

After half an hour, Zhu Youjian finally spoke.

"Aiqing believes that Chen Xinjia's deployment is in great danger, but Huang Taiji of Hou Jin may not be aware of such deployment. Isn't the strategy of surprise attack not feasible?"

"Your Majesty, I have not denied that the surprise attack strategy is not feasible, but it depends on the environment. Guan Ningjin's defense line is very important to our Ming Dynasty. No matter what kind of surprise attack method is used, it cannot shake Guan Ningjin's defense. Master Chen led an army of 20 to go out, and there were still [-] soldiers waiting on the Guan Ning Jin defense line. On the other hand, if Huang Taiji made up his mind, he could reach [-] troops. In terms of comparison of troops, we Daming didn't have much advantage, so I thought that the strategy set by the emperor to win Heishan, Yizhou and Guangning within a year was very accurate, step by step, it would be difficult for Huang Taiji to make such a big determination, after all he To protect Shenyang, but if it is going to attack Shenyang directly, it will inevitably lead to an uncontrollable battle. Huang Taiji is desperate and thinks differently. If Huang Taiji abandons Shenyang and goes all out to capture Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, the minister thinks , as long as Huang Taiji takes down Dalinghe City and Jinzhou, the army led by Master Chen will be in great danger, not only will it be impossible to occupy Shenyang, but the retreat route will also be completely blocked."

Zhu Youjian nodded frequently.

"Aiqing is right. There is indeed a huge danger in this kind of deployment. I have seen Aiqing's deployment, and it is steady and steady. It seems to be reasonable."

"I also considered this issue, so I went to Beijing to report to the emperor. I still said that I intend to interfere in the expedition of Liaodong. Everything is up to the emperor to decide."

Zhu Youjian looked at Su Tiancheng, and suddenly spoke.

"Su Aiqing, I see how you will be the commander-in-chief of the Golden Tatars after this conquest."

"You must not, Your Majesty, I have been away from Liaodong for more than a year. I am not very clear about the many changes in Liaodong. Lord Chen has been preparing for the attack on the Golden Tartars in Liaodong. He is also full of confidence. This coach It must be Mr. Chen. I just feel that the emperor can make a clear request and strictly order Mr. Chen to follow the deployment of the campaign. This will ensure that there is more than enough to advance and retreat. Regardless of whether he has achieved a major victory or not, being able to take the initiative to attack the Houjin Tartars shows that the emperor has wiped out The determination of the later Jin Tartars."

A smile finally appeared on Zhu Youjian's face.

In less than two hours, Su Tiancheng changed Zhu Youjian's opinion. It was indeed not easy, but in it, Su Tiancheng spent a lot of effort. He studied repeatedly in Dengzhou, and on the way to the capital, he kept They are all trying to figure out that it is possible to achieve such an effect because of sufficient preparation.
