Ming politicians

Su Tiancheng received a lot of mansion newspapers, and some mansion newspapers could not be received in other places. This is also because Su Tiancheng entered the cabinet. Therefore, after discussing with the cabinet chief assistant Yang Sichang and his second assistant Zhu Shenxun, they thought that the cabinet had some matters to discuss , Su Tiancheng had to be informed of the situation, and Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning camp to conquer Fuzhou and Xuanzhou, so he had to obtain a lot of information from the imperial court and make judgments.Su Tiancheng handed over all these residence reports to Qu Qingze, and asked Qu Qingze to make a corresponding analysis.

These mansion reports, to a large extent, made up for Qu Qingze's lack of intelligence network in the capital. No matter what, Qu Qingze did not dare to develop intelligence forces in the capital too much. If such a thing was noticed by the emperor, it would be It's a matter of losing his head, and the spearhead will be directed at Su Tiancheng.However, if one cannot clearly grasp the movements in the capital, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment just by having other information. Su Tiancheng entered the cabinet and obtained many residence reports, which covered almost all matters in the imperial court. , which is of great help to Qu Qingze's intelligence analysis.

Recently, Su Tiancheng specifically entrusted Qu Qingze to pay attention to Houjin's movements, especially whether Huang Taiji will make any moves. This is the focus of attention. , It is necessary to report quickly, whether it is certain or not.

The situation of Fort Anning and Jingbian, as well as the affairs of the Dutch fleet, are also the focus of Su Tiancheng's attention, and after Huang Zaisheng's information came, Su Tiancheng seemed to pay more attention to the affairs of the Mongolian and Dutch fleets. Such a trend made Hong Chengchou a little bit Discouraged, all Hong Chengchou could think of was the Golden Tartars after the conquest. If Su Tiancheng's attention was diverted, there is no doubt about it.Just to pay attention to other things.

Huang Taiji's strategy is undergoing a major change. He has carefully considered Daishan's suggestions. It should be said that only Daishan can express these suggestions clearly, even if it is Fan Wencheng.It would not be so straightforward, because the reputation of the Qing Dynasty has already been involved.

With such a big change in Daishan's understanding, Huang Taiji is mixed with joy and sorrow. He is happy that finally some nobles in Manchuria realize that they must make decisions based on the actual situation. They must face up to the changes in Daming. Daming is beginning to become stronger. The Qing Dynasty is very unfavorable, but many Manchu nobles do not realize this.They are still looking at the Ming Dynasty according to the previous point of view, including Azig who once swayed in the pass, they are all arrogant.

What is worrying is that I don't know how long this situation will last. Su Tiancheng is indeed capable, but judging from the changes in Daming, it means that several things Su Tiancheng has done have succeeded.Including the mutual market, including the establishment of docks.Including strengthening the management of the Municipal Shipping Department. As for the entire Ming Dynasty, it has not yet come to life. The vast majority of ordinary people still have a difficult life, lacking food and clothing.The contradiction between the government and the common people is also prominent.

Fan Wencheng was not able to deal with Su Tiancheng directly, but from the perspective of collecting intelligence, he spared no effort, especially the information about Su Tiancheng.What Su Tiancheng did, what kind of influence it caused, etc., Fan Wencheng collected very detailed information, and it was through this information that Huang Taiji began to truly feel Su Tiancheng's fearfulness.

Huang Taiji looked at a person's ability, not only in the military, but also in governance. This is very critical. A general who can only fight may not be able to play a big role. The battle involves too many aspects. Logistics Supply is the most important thing, and internal stability is even more necessary. It is also the foundation of supporting the army. Su Tiancheng was able to maintain the Jiangning camp with huge expenses under the difficult situation of the Ming court, so that the people under his rule had ample food and clothing. This is not ordinary ability.

The effect of the exchange market, the wharf, and the shipping department made Huang Taiji truly feel that everything Su Tiancheng did had a long-term plan, including the contest with the Qing Dynasty. Tiancheng will not stop easily. Now that Su Tiancheng has become a cabinet scholar of the Ming Dynasty, his status is even more prominent. Therefore, it is quite difficult to shake hands with the Ming Dynasty to make peace.

Shaking hands with the Ming Dynasty is the crucial first step.

Dai Shan was able to make such a suggestion because he saw clearly the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. Once there was no external pressure, there would be problems within the Ming Dynasty. The power of the ministers was too great, threatening Chongzhen, and Chongzhen would find a way To be fair, Su Tiancheng belongs to this type of minister. Once the Ming Dynasty stabilizes, there will be no external threats, and the internal power struggle is likely to heat up in a short period of time.

This is what Huang Taiji thought of, and this is what Dai Shan thought of.

Thinking of shaking hands with the Ming Dynasty, it is not easy to say, at least you need to bow your head and surrender. This kind of shame and humiliation is probably unbearable to the nobles of the Manchus. Even Huang Taiji himself feels uncomfortable, and it is difficult to do it in a short time Decision, but how the current situation will develop, if Huang Taiji can't make a decision as soon as possible, once the situation changes significantly, at that time, it will be too late to regret.

Looking forward to the internal strife in the Ming Dynasty, under the current situation, it is definitely not possible, and it is difficult to succeed. The only and best way is to let Chongzhen have no pressure, so that there is a real chance.

After thinking for two days, Huang Taiji came to Daishan's mansion again, this time he didn't bring anyone with him, he came alone.

Daishan had been in the mansion all the time, seeing Huang Taiji coming again, there was no surprise on Daishan's face, as if it was expected.

Entering the study, Daishan spoke first.

"I have been waiting for the emperor for the past two days. If the emperor does not come, I will go directly to the emperor."

"I've been thinking about my second brother's suggestion for the past two days. After thinking about it, I think it's still feasible. I came here today just to listen to my second brother's analysis."

"I didn't analyze it the day before yesterday, and I also had concerns. Zhenghongqi was wiped out by the Jiangning camp, and my face was dull. I was guilty. Thanks to the emperor for letting me return to Shenyang at all costs, I should have kept silent. "

"Second brother, don't say that. I have already said that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. This is not a big deal. If you can only win and can't tolerate failure, then there will be no brave generals by my side."

There was no smile on Daishan's face, and he spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, there are some things I have to say. I have suffered a disastrous defeat this time. I have thought of a lot. I have seen the bravery of the Jiangning Camp. I have seen it with my own eyes. The Red Banner warriors led by me have already displayed their greatest ability. People surrendered, and they all fought to the end. This level of courage, now that I think about it, I am still proud, but even after displaying such fighting power and courage, I was completely wiped out by the Jiangning battalion. The Jiangning battalion launched a decisive battle, and the losses must be heavy. Our Qing Dynasty has limited troops. Once we start a full-scale decisive battle with the Jiangning battalion, we must do our best. At that time, the frontier army in Liaodong, the Yulin battalion, and even the Ming Dynasty The army of the guards will become the force that crushes our Qing Dynasty."

"I thought of the Mongolian Eight Banners, but today's Mongolian grassland is not stable. The Horqin tribe is still the overlord of the grassland, and they are also obedient to my Qing Dynasty. However, the Xibo tribe and the Daur tribe are eyeing each other, and their power is becoming stronger and stronger. I always want to become the new overlord of the grassland, and in this dangerous situation, there will always be a war."

"Now the Qing Dynasty can rely on the Eight Banners of Meng, but at the critical moment, whether the Eight Banners of Meng can play a role, whether it can really relieve the worries of the Qing Dynasty, this is something that is not clear, maybe Xibo The Daur tribe and the Daur tribe took advantage of the situation to launch a war, intending to rule the entire grassland, and the Mongolian Eight Banners, which our Qing Dynasty relies on, probably have no time to spare, and it is impossible to help our Qing Dynasty."

"After thinking about it, I think that we still have to use bitter tactics. The Ming Dynasty is a big country with its own majesty. As long as the Qing Dynasty bows its head and submits to the rule of the Ming Dynasty, all the problems in front of it can be easily solved."

"What I mean by this is not to say that the Qing Dynasty has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, our Qing Dynasty has lost North Korea, and it is very likely that we will lose Mongolia next. Under such circumstances, our Qing Dynasty must find a way to stabilize the interior, slowly accumulate strength, and eliminate all unstable factors. When the time is right, we will be able to make a comeback.”

"I didn't have much experience of the story of suffering from hardship before, but this time I really understand it. King Goujian of Yue is a great man. Although Goujian almost perished his country, he finally destroyed the country of Wu."

"These things I said are all from the bottom of my heart. I also know that it is very difficult for the emperor to do this. Just say that Dorgon, Duoduo and others may not be able to understand. If the emperor has such intentions , I can be responsible for their work, of course, this is all my suggestion, the choice is still up to the emperor's decision."

Huang Taiji nodded frequently. What Daishan said is true, but it is too difficult to implement it. It seems that after this ordeal, Daishan has truly realized the situation of the Qing Dynasty. . (To be continued..)
