Ming politicians

When Su Tiancheng returned to Dengzhou, Hong Chengchou had already sent special personnel back to Dengzhou. The Ming army entered North Korea, which surprised the North Korean Lee Dynasty. After learning that Daishan’s Zhenghong Banner was completely wiped out by the Ming army, the North Korean royal family immediately put it out. With a pitiful look, he said that he obeyed the order of the Houjin Tartars and severed the relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but he was forced to do so. Now he can become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty again. Enter the Daming capital to pay tribute.

When Su Tiancheng learned about these matters, a sneer appeared on his face.

Zhang Fengyi led the army and had already set off from Dengzhou by boat to go to North Korea. After Zhang Fengyi arrived in Dengzhou, he did not set off immediately, but waited for Su Tiancheng. The country, you are welcome. After arriving in North Korea, there are three main things to do. The first is to encourage members of the Korean royal family, or elites, to take the imperial examinations of the Ming Dynasty and tell them that as long as they can win the exam, they can do it in the Ming Dynasty. Official, the second thing is to pay attention to what kind of minerals North Korea has. If you find iron ore and other materials, you must not let them go. The army can occupy this place for development and transportation. The warship formation can be responsible. The third thing is to set up a school in Pyongyang, which specializes in teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, instilling Confucianism and renting with teachers: the latest chapter of good students.

Of these three things, the third thing is the most critical and important.

Su Tiancheng's internal and external policies have always been different. The people of Daming must be treated kindly so that they can live a good life with plenty of food and clothing.As for other countries, this point is beyond discussion.But in the face of other countries, Su Tiancheng does not agree to use the method of killing to surrender, but to use the method of peaceful evolution, cultural invasion is the most powerful, just imagine.The elites in this country all believe in Confucianism. How could they not worship the originator of Confucianism, and how could they not submit to the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng has a bad impression of North Korea. It can be said that he is somewhat disgusted. This may be because the knowledge hundreds of years later is still affecting him. If we say that North Korea is a country that has been ravaged for many years.There is basically no autonomy, and it may be because of such a ravaged experience that the people in North Korea are a little arrogant and always want to regain their self-confidence. Therefore, after crossing, Su Tiancheng will not be polite to North Korea.

North Korea has always been a subsidiary state of the Ming Dynasty, but Ming Dynasty has never stationed troops in North Korea.This reflects the demeanor of a big country. After North Korea took refuge in Houjin, Huang Taiji would not be so polite.They have always stationed troops in North Korea, but the Korean royal family swallowed their anger and did not dare to express other opinions. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has done too many things for North Korea, a vassal state, especially defeating Japanese pirates.A great price has been paid, and it is time to pay off.

Su Tiancheng repeatedly told Zhang Fengyi, don't worry about face matters, if the Korean royal family dares to show any dissatisfaction, just suppress it and support new forces, the Ming Dynasty is a big country, but a big country shouldn't do anything for you, North Korea, and do it for you After making so much contribution and giving so much help, you should also know the rewards.

Although Zhang Fengyi feels that it is not very suitable, he still has to carry out the matter that Su Tiancheng said. Now Su Tiancheng is a cabinet scholar with great power, and Su Tiancheng's suggestion is of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty. The amount of tribute required from North Korea should not be too small, especially in the matter of assimilating North Korea with culture. Zhang Fengyi, who was born as a scholar, thinks it is very good, so that North Korea can truly submit. [

Zhang Fengyi left Dengzhou and rushed to North Korea with a large army. At this time, Hong Chengchou will also leave North Korea with the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp. Next, Su Tiancheng will plan to attack Gaizhou, Yaozhou and Haizhou. This time the battle He wanted to personally command the army. Hong Chengchou led the soldiers from Fuzhou to attack Gaizhou first. Su Tiancheng led the battleship formation to occupy Lianyun Island and then attacked Gaizhou. The two armies attacked at the same time. Gaizhou, fight for a battle to solve the problem.

When he came to Dengzhou, Su Tiancheng would not think about those things in the capital. The army stationed in Fuzhou was under the direct command of Sun Chuanting. Qu Qingze had already returned to Dengzhou and was still beside Su Tiancheng, taking the role of chief of staff.

At this time, Zhu Shenxuan's letter was delivered to Su Tiancheng.

After reading the letter, Su Tiancheng's face turned pale with anger. He really didn't expect that such a good opportunity would not be well utilized by Zhu Shenxuan. What's the point of doing such a thing? Even though he was playing with Huang Taiji That's it, what kind of faith are you talking about with the Houjin Tartars? Both sides are opponents and enemies. It's not a big deal for that Sony to come to the capital to negotiate. Of course Su Tiancheng knows about this Sony. If history does not change, this Sony will be one of the Gu Ming ministers of the Qing Dynasty, assisting Kangxi.

The letter sent from the capital was already written a few days ago. Zhu Shenxun made it very clear in the letter, and the emperor also agreed to this method of disposal. Su Tiancheng couldn't help sighing, he asked Zhang Fengyi in Dengzhou , Don't take face into account, be more ruthless to the Joseon royal family, but unfortunately, there are still some people in the capital who take face into account on big things.

When Qu Qingze entered the room, he saw Su Tiancheng's expression was not very good.

Qu Qingze did not speak. He has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, and his temper has changed a lot. Su Tiancheng's complexion is not good. He must have encountered something. If Su Tiancheng is willing to speak, he will naturally speak. He does not want to speak. Don't ask yourself, lest you make fun of yourself.

"Old Qu, you came just in time. Please read this letter."

Qu Qingze took the letter from Zhu Shenxuan, and carefully read the latest chapter of Ichigo's "sister"'s comprehensive journey.

After reading the letter, Qu Qingze's complexion was not very good-looking either. The so-called one who is close to ink is black, and one who is close to vermilion is red. After following Su Tiancheng for so many years, Qu Qingze has the same understanding. He thinks most about vested interests when doing things.

"My lord, the lower officials have already estimated that the imperial court will make such a decision."

Su Tiancheng glared at Qu Qingze.

"You already knew it. It seems that when I go to the capital, I should take you to the capital and let you handle this matter."

"My lord, what I'm telling you is the truth. Unless my lord handles such a matter personally, it's hard for me to achieve my goal even if I stay in the capital. The whole court cares about face and doesn't want to be called what it is. The lower officials are very familiar with the unfaithful imperial court, those adults in the imperial court, all of them regard face as more important than fate."

When Qu Qingze said these words, Su Tiancheng sighed. What Qu Qingze said was the actual situation, which is also the influence of Confucianism. Propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and trust are the foundation of human beings, and scholars must follow this principle In principle, the imperial court was originally a place where scholars gathered, and even in the face of enemies, they were benevolent and righteous. [

Zhu Youjian's attitude towards the rogues at the beginning can explain everything. In fact, once the rogues rebel, those leaders cannot be lightly forgiven, but must be severely punished. Their minds have changed a long time ago. It's useless to ask for it.

"Old Qu, what you said is right, this concept of face really kills people."

"The lower official thought that my lord could write a letter to His Royal Highness King Jin, or directly send a secret letter to the emperor."

Su Tiancheng shook his head.

"It's too late. It will take many days to go back and forth. Besides, the negotiation has started and the court's strategy has been determined. It won't be too long. Huang Taiji must have asked Sony to make a quick decision. According to my estimation, the emperor Taiji will give up Montenegro, Montenegro is not a particularly critical place, the most important thing is Guangning, if the court proposes to get Guangning, this time the negotiation will not be successful."

Qu Qingze's eyes widened. He originally thought that Huang Taiji would definitely be unwilling to give up Montenegro, but he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to say such a thing. Wouldn't this make Huang Taiji lose face.

"My lord, I think that Huang Taiji might not agree."

"Huh, Huang Taiji will definitely agree. A good agent is worth more than Montenegro. Huang Taiji will not care about face so much. As long as it is beneficial, he will definitely agree. I, Da Ming, have occupied Dalinghe City. Montenegro was not of much use. On the contrary, Huang Taiji had to arrange heavy troops to guard Montenegro. This way, the troops were dispersed and concentrated in Guangning and Xiping Fort. The effect was the same. As long as Guangning was guarded, Shenyang would be safe. .”

"However, Huang Taiji still wants to hand over Monk Geng Zhongming. The two of them are the so-called princes appointed by Huang Taiji."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, and it took him a long time to speak.

"Old Qu, you and I have underestimated Huang Taiji. You should understand what a cat cries for a mouse. According to my prediction, this time Geng Zhongming is happy to exchange Daishan, and there will be no fluctuations in the future gold. Geng Zhongming is happy to dare Don't you agree to such a request? In Huang Taiji's eyes, the real strong generals are those Manchus. What are the Han people? Huang Taiji did this because he wanted to use the Han people. , so we must make the most of the Han people. As for Geng Zhongming’s gratification, he sent out the so-called, he can continue to be king in the future, and he can even cry for Geng Zhongming’s gratification. to any loss."

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng without saying a word. Su Tiancheng's analysis has always been accurate, so there is no need to doubt it.

Su Tiancheng secretly sighed, capturing Daishan alive this time was originally a very good opportunity to disrupt Houjin, Jiang Ningying took advantage of this opportunity to attack, now it seems that his own thinking is a bit simple, because Huang Taiji's wisdom, even more Because the emperor and the court are concerned about face, I am afraid that things will not be that simple. We still have to calm down and take one step at a time to slowly wipe out the Empress Jin Tartars.
