Ming politicians

At the beginning of February, the conquest of the grassland was basically completed, and after the expected goal was achieved, Su Tiancheng was about to leave. He wanted to personally participate in the conquest of Taiwan Island. Help the Xibe and Daur tribes to gather strength, otherwise, if they leave at this time, it is very likely that the grassland will fall into chaos. After all, the Houjin Tartars have not yet suffered a heavy blow.

Su Tiancheng really wanted to start another decisive battle with Daishan and Haoge, but Jierhalang was negotiating in the capital. At this time, a large-scale fight with the Houjin Tartars on the grassland would make some pedantic officials in the court, Putting forward such and such opinions, even if he defeated the Houjin Tartars on the grassland, it may have attracted more impeachments.

After receiving Zhu Shenxuan's letter, Su Tiancheng was silent for nearly a day. Many situations in the court made him feel dangerous. Although he was dedicated to the Ming Dynasty and decided his own actions from the perspective of history, But you need to have enough power to do things, and the suspicion caused by too much power is unavoidable. No matter how loyal you are to Zhu Youjian, the final outcome may not be very good.Zhu Youjian is not a generation of Mingjun, but stronger than ordinary people. It is impossible to tolerate the expansion of his own power for a long time. I am afraid that when the Later Jin Tartars decide to surrender, disputes within the Ming court may begin. The forces can't wait to jump out.

It's a dilemma with few solutions.

Based on the lessons of history and the analysis of the current situation, Su Tiancheng would definitely not be able to return to the capital. If he became an official in the capital, the Jiangning camp would likely be dismembered, and all his hard work might be in vain.Only by firmly grasping the Jiangning Camp can it be possible to make greater contributions.

From the moment of crossing, Su Tiancheng never thought about becoming emperor, the change of dynasty brought about even greater shocks, it was by no means as simple as people understood, and the strength of the Hou Jin Tartars had not been greatly weakened.If the Ming Dynasty fell into civil strife, Huang Taiji could take advantage of it, and the rogues who had subsided in the interior would start to rise again in some places. There would be power struggles, and it would be the common people who would suffer in the end.

Su Tiancheng is not considered noble, after time travel, his first thought was to live a comfortable life, but time travel to the Chongzhen era.If you can't work hard, don't think about living a real good life. You may lose your life muddle-headed in troubled times. Su Tiancheng has to think about his own future. The so-called time makes a hero. In that position, what is considered is the fate of the dynasty and the nation.This is the natural situation.

Su Tiancheng pays attention to Taiwan and must participate in the battle to recover Taiwan.I also want to gain a foothold in Taiwan. This is a helpless choice. I don’t want to encounter Zhu Youjian’s final liquidation, and I don’t want to seize the throne of the Zhu family, let alone cause civil strife in the Ming Dynasty. This is the only choice.

The prosperity of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou.It has attracted the attention of the imperial court. The inspector censor sent by the imperial court has visited Dengzhou many times and reported many situations that he inspected to Zhu Youjian.The Ministry of Accounting began to pay close attention to the Weihaiwei Wharf, and the officials sent by the Ministry of Accounting also began to infiltrate Weihaiwei’s Shipping Department. In fact, the Ministry of Accounting had already obtained a large amount of money from the Weihaiwei Wharf. Not satisfied, thinking about getting more taxes.

Looking back on the struggles of these years, especially in terms of economic construction, the former Nanjing Shipbuilding Department was completely taken over by the imperial court, and the Ministry of Finance received a lot of money. With a small amount of money, the Ministry of Household Affairs is now preparing to intervene in Weihaiwei's Shibo Department. If this continues, Su Tiancheng's efforts will eventually be picked by the court.

It was expected that such a situation would happen, and Su Tiancheng did not regret it.

Only through these struggles, Su Tiancheng discovered a very real problem, whether it is Jiangning County, Shaanxi Province, or Dengzhou, Laizhou or Qingzhou, they cannot escape the control of the imperial court. It may lead to internal strife, and even turn into cannibalism. In this way, relatives will hurt enemies faster.

Judging from the current actual situation, the best choice is to occupy Taiwan Island and seek development in Taiwan Island. Taiwan Island is still some distance away from the mainland. The Ming court, which does not pay much attention to sea power, will not care about Taiwan Island. Once Su Tiancheng went to Taiwan Island to seek development, he would be able to stay away from the court's sight. The most important thing was to reassure Zhu Youjian, avoid fighting within the Ming Dynasty, and avoid a change of dynasty.

Such a choice, from a personal point of view, seems a bit aggrieved and very uncomfortable, but from the perspective of the overall situation, this is the best choice. Su Tiancheng is a civil servant of a state agency, and he is aware of the overall situation. He has an unusual understanding that Su Tiancheng will not do those actions that show personal courage regardless of the consequences.

Explaining the importance of Taiwan Island is also quite labor-intensive. Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others may not be able to understand the importance of Taiwan Island, or it is impossible for them to fully understand Su Tiancheng's thoughts.

The stubborn role of imperial power in one's thinking cannot be denied, especially in a peaceful environment, Su Tiancheng faced very practical problems, not to mention the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp, but many of the soldiers he recommended Officials, I'm afraid most of them still think about being able to be officials in the Ming court, or even one day be able to enter the cabinet, to honor their ancestors, you can't say that people's ideas are vulgar, it has been like this for thousands of years, and the actual benefits they get Right now, the family can follow Zhanguang, and the family can enjoy extraordinary respect, but once they leave the imperial court and enter Taiwan, all these will disappear.

After traveling for so many years, Su Tiancheng knew a very practical problem. Most of the people who followed him in the South and North Wars, especially the officials and military officers at all levels, were not alone. There were many people involved, and even some The entanglement of the family can be said to be a way for one person to ascend to heaven. Under such a premise, it is impossible for you to ask everyone to think the same as you.

Su Tiancheng, who traveled through time, has seen through too many things, and it is impossible to ask everyone to think the same as him.

For so many years, the Jiangning Battalion has rarely promoted officers, and the officers at the level of guard commanders have hardly been updated. This is also the result of Su Tiancheng's careful consideration. There are too many people who have been promoted. I really think that if I leave in the future, I will go to Taiwan to develop, or if Taiwan is a monopoly, others will not necessarily follow.

After traveling through so many years, Su Tiancheng has always been compromised. The so-called great ambitions are also very limited. After traveling to the Chongzhen era, it is impossible for Su Tiancheng to achieve success without relying on the power of the system. It was an impossible choice. Since he had chosen to attach himself to the imperial court and maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, he had to bear the grievances that should be endured.

It's time to leave the grassland. Hong Chengchou, Qin Liangyu and others don't quite understand why Su Tiancheng left the grassland to participate in the battle to recover Taiwan Island. In their view, recovering Taiwan Island is not a big problem. The bravery of the commanding navy is sure to succeed, and the total strength of the Dutch soldiers stationed on Taiwan Island does not exceed 3000. Such a small force is not a cause for concern in the eyes of Jiangning Battalion.

Not only Hong Chengchou and others, but also Mo Chuo and Tong Cha felt that they couldn't understand.After all, there are still many things on the grassland. The Chahar tribe was wiped out, but the Horqin tribe, the most powerful supporter of the Houjin Tartars, has not yet suffered a devastating blow. There may be huge changes on the grassland, but there are also It may be stabilized. After all, under such circumstances, Huang Taiji needs to spend a lot of thought.

Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng's stay in the grassland had a huge impact on strengthening the power of the Xibe and Daur tribes, weakening the influence of the later Golden Tatars on the grassland, and having a huge impact on the surrender of the grassland tribes.

When Su Tiancheng left the grassland this time, the number of people he took away was limited. Qu Qingze, Liu Tiehan and others followed Su Tiancheng to leave. Hong Chengchou led the conquest of the grassland. Grassland.

The new resident of the Xibe tribe.

It used to be the seat of the Left Middle Banner of the Chahar Tribe.

Hong Chengchou, Qin Liangyu, Qu Qingze, and officers above Jiangning Yingwei Commander are all concentrated here, including Qin Liangyu, the governor of Datong, Mo Chuo, the leader of the Xibe tribe, and Tongcha, the leader of the Daur tribe.

Su Tiancheng's expression was very serious.

"Hong Chengchou, I will entrust you with the matter of the grassland. I believe that you will be able to make the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe stronger. The negotiations between our Ming court and the Houjin Tartars can last up to six months. In March, we conquered the grassland and completed the scheduled tasks. Huang Taiji thought about negotiating and getting a chance to ease it. We didn't let Huang Taiji succeed. Gather all your strength."

"I don't want to say more about the importance of Taiwan. You once had a lot of doubts, thinking that the matter of the grassland is very important. In comparison, Taiwan is insignificant. As long as the grassland can be pacified and the post-Golden Tatars can be completely defeated My son, my Ming Dynasty was able to stabilize, but you have overlooked a problem. The Dutch who are thousands of miles away can go to Taiwan Island and occupy Taiwan Island. I believe you remember that in the Han Dynasty, there was a saying that violated Although my great Han will be punished far away, so is my Ming Dynasty. No matter what kind of problems we have internally, foreign races must never invade. Such a thing cannot start. We must let foreign invaders know, thinking about coveting I have to pay a heavy price for the interests of the Ming Dynasty." (To be continued...)
