Ming politicians

As soon as Su Tiancheng returned to Dengzhou, he saw Zhu Shenxuan's secret letter.

He never imagined that the emperor was so anxious, and the overall situation had not yet been settled, so he wanted to return to the capital, abandoned the Jiangning camp, and lost the support of the army. Su Tiancheng knew very well that his ending would not be much better Zhang Juzheng during the Wanli period was so powerful, it can be said that he had educated the Wanli emperor since he was a child, and his relationship with the queen mother seemed to be unusual, but after his death, the ending was also very tragic, and the entire family was implicated.

There were too many things like this in the Ming Dynasty, including Yu Qian who turned the tide. In the battle of Tumubao, Yingzong was captured by Oala first, and he first thought of holding Yingzong to capture the capital of Daming. As a result, Yu Qian led the old, weak, sick and disabled, He defended the capital and avoided the downfall of the Ming Dynasty, but was liquidated because of the restoration of Yingzong.

These lessons are very practical and vivid.

Su Tiancheng was very angry. He really felt that Huang Taiji was much wiser than Zhu Youjian. It is no wonder that in history, the Qing Dynasty was able to defeat the Ming Dynasty and replace the Ming Dynasty. How could Huang Taiji really bow down , sending Jierhalang to negotiate, but it was just a delay. After more than half a year of negotiations, a consensus agreement was signed, but there was no actual action. up.Thinking of stabilizing one's own rule and eliminating all hidden dangers.

After traveling for more than ten years, Su Tiancheng has done a lot of things. He has a kind of foolish and loyal thinking to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.Because he was a civil servant in the previous life, obeying the leader has become a habit in his bones, so after time travel, he never thought about becoming an emperor, never thought about taking over the Zhu family's power, but the development is realistic.It seems that he is embarking on a road to become a king by himself, a road that must take over the country.

Continuing to be loyal to the emperor, the final outcome can be analyzed now. Once he returns to the capital, he will be stripped of his military power immediately.It is impossible to continue to command the Jiangning battalion. If people are in the capital, even if the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion support them, it will not have much effect.I don't know how many masters there are in the imperial court.

Under the current circumstances, it is untenable to rebel directly, not to mention whether it will be supported, at least it is in line with Huang Taiji's wishes, and if Huang Taiji achieves his goal, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably weaken, maybe his hard work , Decades have passed, but it only allowed the Ming Dynasty to linger for decades, and was eventually overthrown by the Houjin Tartars. [

Then there is only one reason.Obedience to obedience and violation to the yin, the emperor's will and the imperial court's decree are selectively carried out. From now on, Su Tiancheng will not go to the capital.Using Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places as the base camp, in the next time, we will defeat the Houjin Tartars, completely wipe out the Houjin regime, and let the Ming Dynasty completely calm down. The contradiction between inspections is the next step to deal with.

Thinking of such a result, Su Tiancheng felt very uncomfortable. The so-called people are in the arena and cannot help themselves. In the current situation, if he can't think of a way to deal with it, he will fall down at that time, and more than one person will suffer.

When Qu Qingze entered the wing room, he saw Su Tiancheng's face was extremely serious.

Su Tiancheng directly handed Zhu Shenxuan's confidential letter to Qu Qingze, and Qu Qingze quickly read it without any surprise on his face, and took out a stack of letters from his bosom.

"My lord, this is the information collected by the lower officials in the capital. Part of the information given to Shizhong and Yushi has already been reported to the emperor. They asked your lord to return to the capital. Their reason is that the cabinet ministers should not lead the army in person. Your lord should Going back to the capital, the Hou Jin Tartars have bowed their heads and proclaimed themselves ministers, and the imperial court should also reduce military pay."

"It's nothing strange. If the adults in the court were all wise, our Ming Dynasty would not have encountered so many twists and turns. I have thought about it. The big ship of the Ming Dynasty is riddled with holes and is about to sink. Now, at this time, someone needs to guide the correct course, someone needs to repair the loopholes in time, even if it is temporarily maintained, it is a pity that some people in the court not only did not repair, but continued to dismantle the wooden boards, because these wooden boards It's very valuable, they can get temporary satisfaction, the ship is sinking, it doesn't matter, there is another ship to take, unfortunately, the emperor can't see this, instead he is encouraging some people to do such a thing .”

"My lord, I don't think it's a big deal to rebuild a wooden boat."

When Qu Qingze said these words, Su Tiancheng trembled and looked at Qu Qingze.

Qu Qingze was very serious, but did not show any fear.

"Xiaguan has followed Your Excellency for so many years, and I have indeed gained a lot of insights. I have seen too many things in Jinyiwei before. There are some things in the court that cannot be changed. Your Excellency has worked hard and wholeheartedly for the court and the emperor. , But what did you get in exchange? My lord has never taken credit for his pride. I have known before that the court has never been able to mobilize the many generals entrenched in the south. When it comes to matters of war and conquest, hide as much as you can, and never think about the court, think about Ming Dynasty, why such a situation happened, some people in the court will not reflect on it, and they can't reflect on it, and some situations are caused by them."

"The prestige of the Jiangning Camp is extraordinary, and it is precisely because of the bravery of the Jiangning Camp that they obeyed the imperial court's arrangements. The troops of the guards of various places in the Ming Dynasty, and the commanders-in-chief of the various places did not dare to act rashly so that the imperial court can dispatch them. On this point, the emperor should It is clear, judging from the current situation, the emperor is probably thinking that if he is transferred to the capital, he will not be able to continue commanding the Jiangning camp, and then he will dismember the Jiangning camp and send many people to lead the Jiangning camp separately."

"If such a situation occurs, Da Ming will soon fall into the wind and rain. At that time, if someone really rebels, I am afraid that Da Ming will be finished in the shortest time."

"After analyzing so much information, including the situation of the Hou Jin Tartars, I have already felt that Huang Taiji will not submit to our Ming Dynasty. The so-called negotiations are just delaying time, hoping that our Ming Dynasty will appear. However, now it seems that Huang Taiji’s goal has been achieved, while the Empress Dowagers are still eyeing him covetously, but the emperor wants to clean up the internal affairs, so the way of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is not self-destruction.”

Qu Qingze's words were so intense, somewhat beyond Su Tiancheng's expectation.

After Qu Qingze finished speaking, Su Tiancheng was silent for a long time before speaking slowly. [

"Old Qu, I am very grateful to you for being able to say this. For some things, we have to prepare for the worst. Huang Taiji will not submit to Daming. You and I have a clear judgment on this point. I believe that there are also people in the imperial court. People realize that this kind of thinking cannot take the initiative. Since this is the case, then we have to make two-handed preparations. I have thought about it. There are two things that you must arrange quickly and must be done well.”

"The first thing, from now on, whether it is the imperial decree of the emperor or the edict of the imperial court, it may not be fully implemented. Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Xuanzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou in Fujian, Taiwan and other places , subject to the imperial edict of the Governor's Office, and it is not necessary to fully abide by the imperial edict and the imperial edict."

"The second thing is to start planning an attack on the Houjin Tartars. It is now April. After the autumn harvest, the Jiangning Battalion will start to attack the Houjin Tartars. No matter what decision Huang Taiji makes or what Huang Taiji Are you going to make superficial articles and submit to my Ming court? The soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion, including the frontier troops in Liaodong, aim to wipe out the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners. Once the Houjin army is completely wiped out, Huang Taiji will have nothing chance."

"These two things are the key points, and the rest will be left behind for now."

Qu Qingze didn't express his opinion right away, Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze a little strangely.

Qu Qingze pondered for a while before speaking.

"My lord, I think that there is one more thing that must be done well."

"Oh, is there anything else?"

"The next official immediately started planning to bring the wife, the young master, the young lady, and the adults' family members to Dengzhou. The wife can no longer stay in the capital. If the adults' family members can't move out of the capital, they will be afraid. No defense."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, with a smile on his face. Under the current circumstances, it is not too difficult to make Zhu Shenxin, Su Mingjie, Su Mingxin, Chen Yuanyuan and others stand out in the capital, but it has not reached that step yet.

"Old Qu, you can also arrange this matter, but it is not necessary now, we have to see what kind of changes will occur in the court. After you mentioned this, I think of the most important thing, that is In Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Quanzhou and other places, which officials cannot be trusted, including the officers at all levels of the Jiangning camp, if someone thinks, continue to rely on the court, and hope to be appreciated by the emperor, such people, we cannot To continue to reuse, of course, this matter is just a good investigation at present, and there must be no action."

"My lord, don't worry, the lower official understands, I will arrange it immediately, and try to investigate clearly within half a year."

"Okay, we still have a fierce fight. This time, no matter what the court thinks or what the emperor thinks, we must implement it, otherwise we will encounter too much trouble. , we cannot give Huang Taiji the opportunity to continue to attack." (To be continued...)
