Chapter 478: Taking office on a high note
Shaanxi is a place where rogue is rampant, Su Tiancheng doesn't dare to do anything to make a private visit, if he meets a rogue and dies before he gets out of school, it will not be cost-effective, not to mention things that change history, his family will be in trouble.
Before leaving the capital, Wang Furong and Liu Ru finally gave birth to children, both mother and son were safe, both gave birth to boys, Su Tiancheng was a little helpless, in fact, he preferred his daughter, and his daughter was the intimate little padded jacket of his parents.
Su Tiancheng was at home, so the children's names were quickly chosen, the son born to Wang Furong was named Su Mingxiao, and the son born to Liu Ru was named Su Mingxiong.
Su Tiancheng already has three sons and a daughter, he can't help but think of the scene of the ancients' wives and concubines and children, it seems that he is finally facing such a situation, fortunately, the family background is good, and the wife and children will not suffer.
Time passed quickly, and Su Tiancheng was finally about to set off.
This time, he could not return to Henan Mansion, and went directly to Shaanxi Province to take up his post through Shanxi.
Zhang Pu has been appointed as the prefect of Henan Prefecture, Sun Sizong has been appointed as the Tongzhi of Henan Prefecture, Lu Taibo has been appointed as the general judge of Henan Prefecture, Liu Zhongji has been appointed as the governor of Shaanzhou, Qu Qingze, Su Pingyang, Su Jun, Sun Siming, Lu Taibo, Deng Hui and others have all followed Su Tiancheng to Shaanxi Province.
Henan Mansion is already a good place, everyone wants to be an official, no matter what, in that place, the official routine is a lot of silver, and the life of the family can be very good.
Such an arrangement in Henan Mansion is also the most assured by Su Tiancheng, and this place can completely become a logistics base for him and the Jiangning battalion.
More than 50,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion all set off, and Hong Chengchou led 10,000 soldiers to Beizhili. Waiting for Su Tiancheng outside the capital, the rest of the more than 40,000 soldiers were stationed at the junction of Shanxi and Shaanxi, waiting for Su Tiancheng.
It can be said that Su Tiancheng's appointment this time has a great momentum.
Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze arrived at Su Tiancheng's mansion. Everything that happened in the capital, they all knew, Hong Chengchou's purpose in the capital was very simple, that is, to welcome Su Tiancheng to Shaanxi Province to take office, and Qu Qingze's task was not so simple.
After meeting, Su Tiancheng didn't say much, just a few words of greeting, he was ready.
Hong Chengchou told Su Tiancheng that all the family members of Henan Mansion had set off with the Jiangning Battalion army. Everything was arranged.
When he was resting in the evening, Qu Qingze entered the study.
Su Tiancheng had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Lao Qu, I've worked hard for you this time."
"My lord, this is what the lower officials should do, there is nothing hard, these are the information played in the dark line, and they are all about the situation of officials at all levels in Shaanxi Province."
"Well, how did Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui arrange it?"
"The lower official has already complied with the adult's request. After talking to them, Boss Song followed him directly to Shaanxi. Boss Wan will go to Shaanxi Province later. ”
"Okay, these things, you worry about it more, I want to hear your opinion, after I get to Shaanxi, my thoughts. I still want you to do things locally, don't enter the Jiangning camp, and prepare for you to serve as the prefect of Xi'an. ”
Qu Qingze was a little surprised, and the expression on his face was a little uncertain.
"My lord, the lower officials still want to return to the Jiangning camp."
"I know that. However, the status of Xi'an Mansion is very important, you need to have competent officials to control, this position belongs to you, you still do things locally, when you were in Shaanzhou, you did a very good job, accumulated a lot of experience, the situation in Shaanxi, than Henan Mansion is much more complicated, the more this time, the more we have to control officials at all levels. ”
Su Tiancheng paused slightly.
"Lao Qu, there are so many rogues in Shaanxi Province, there must be a reason for this, the famine is one aspect, but the man-made disaster may be even worse, the officials in that place, I really can't believe it, we don't have enough manpower, the gangsters in Shaanxi Province are still rampant, Jiangning Camp can exterminate the rogues, even if it is very good, but the eradication of the rogues is only one aspect, the key task is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, otherwise the rogues will still appear."
Qu Qingze lowered his head and stopped talking, he has always been in Jinyiwei, after following Su Tiancheng, he was also in the Jiangning camp, after arriving in Henan Mansion, he went to Shaanzhou to serve as the governor, and missed the Jiangning camp several times, and there was always some regret in his heart, but what Su Tiancheng said was also the truth, Shaanxi is a province after all, and it is a province with a very special situation, looking at the officials in the imperial court, no one wants to go to Shaanxi, Su Tiancheng took office, in fact, he was roasted on the fire, the task is very heavy, and the responsibility is different from the general, At such a time, he does have to take some responsibility for Su Tiancheng to do his best.
Su Tiancheng didn't speak, waiting for Qu Qingze to make a statement.
After a long while, Qu Qingze finally spoke.
"My lord, the lower officials obey the arrangement, but after the elimination of the Liukou, the Jiangning camp will definitely go to Jizhou and Liaodong, and at that time, the lower officials must return to the Jiangning camp."
"There's no problem with this, hehe, if you don't say it, I thought of it, anyway, it's that kind of fate, according to my expectations, it will be very good to be able to stay in Shaanxi Province for three years."
After Qu Qingze left, Su Tiancheng began to carefully look at the materials provided by the dark line, and it was already midnight when he rested.
September 26.
Under the instructions of Zhu Xianxin and others, Su Tiancheng left the capital, and his four children were still asleep, but Su Tiancheng did not alarm them.
The 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were waiting outside the capital.
Walking out of the city gate and seeing the familiar soldiers, Su Tiancheng's mood was particularly heroic.
He has always been constantly meeting the challenge, after the palace test, he took the initiative to ask for release, to the Jiangning County under the jurisdiction of the Tianfu, which greatly changed the appearance of Jiangning County, established the Jiangning Battalion, activated the city division under the jurisdiction of Jiangning County, completely changed the way of operation of the merchants, and then went to Henan Mansion, the set of practices in Jiangning County, all moved over, the effect is also very good, and the situation in Henan Mansion has also changed fundamentally.
Now, I am going to Shaanxi Province.
In reality, Shaanxi belongs to one of the poorest provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and the people here generally do not believe in the government, generally hate officials, many people's families, have joined the ranks of the Liukou, and the government is directly opposed, so many years have passed, the imperial court has been exterminating the Liukou, and many ordinary people in Shaanxi are also suffering from the pain of losing their families to varying degrees.
The Jiangning battalion stationed in Shaanxi Province will definitely bring a sensation, the fear of the Liukou for the Jiangning camp is obvious, several confrontations with the Liukou, especially this time to exterminate 30,000 Tartars, the prestige of the Jiangning battalion has spread all over the Ming Dynasty, from Su Tiancheng's understanding, the Jiangning battalion uses force to exterminate the Liukou, it does not take too much time, whether the Liukou is 300,000 or 500,000, in front of the Jiangning battalion, it is nothing.
But Su Tiancheng went to Shaanxi Province to serve as a governor, not only to have the task of exterminating the rogues militarily, but more importantly, in terms of people's livelihood, so that the people can eat and live and work in peace and contentment.
To a certain extent, the issue of people's livelihood is even more important than the military matter of exterminating the rogue bandits.
The common people of Shaanxi, if they are not forced to have no way, who is willing to rebel, through these years, Su Tiancheng has come into contact with a lot of ordinary people, speaking of the people's understanding is very simple, and can even be described as loyal and honest, they do not have too much luxury, they can endure the poverty, the officials are rich and they are accustomed to it, they worship the government, believe in the government from the heart, believe in the officials.
But after several years of disasters, they had no food to eat, struggling on the verge of starvation, but the local government was indifferent, and some officials had water in their heads, and they even rejected the displaced people, and they were not allowed to enter the city, nor were they allowed to stay around the city, and they did not take out food relief, and when they could not bear it, they rebelled.
After so many years, Shaanxi Province has become even poorer because of continuous conquests.
From this situation, after Su Tiancheng arrived in Shaanxi, people's livelihood came first.
In the shortest possible time, the people of Shaanxi can have food to eat and basically settle down, and the Liukou will lose their support, and some people will leave the Liukou team and go home to live a stable life.
Using such methods, first strike at the Liukou, let the Liukou slowly lose the soil for survival, and when the time is ripe, launch a fatal blow to the Liukou to fundamentally exterminate the Liukou, this is the best way, and it can also avoid the casualties of the Jiangning Battalion to the greatest extent.
After so many years, Su Tiancheng still has some feelings, look at Houjin, work hard to develop himself, and then look at the Ming Dynasty, internal and external difficulties, tortured and exhausted, compared with the two, in fact, you don't have to fight, you know who wins and who loses.
The most important opponent of the Jiangning battalion is still the Tartars.
The ranks were somewhat large, but they were moving fast.
After walking out of the Ten Miles, Su Tiancheng saw Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou.
"Master Su, the old man and Lord Liu and Lord Huang are here to see you off, practice for you, the old man is waiting for your good news in the capital, the old man believes that when you arrive in Shaanxi Province, you will be able to exterminate the Liukou and let the people of Shaanxi Province live a good life."
"The juniors will definitely do their best."
"Hehe, the old man knows that you never like to talk big, you have always been low-key, this time you went to Shaanxi Province to take office, seeing this formation, it seems very high-profile, some adults in the court, all feel incredible, the old man is happy for you, it seems that you already know the way, when should you be high-profile, you can rest assured, the old man and Lord Liu, Lord Huang are your backing, we are in the capital, always pay attention to the situation in Shaanxi."
"Lord Lu, the old man also sent a letter, he will do his best to help you with the matter of exterminating the Liukou, the old man knows that if you want to exterminate the Liukou, you still have to rely on the Jiangning camp."
Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou did not speak, but the eyes of the two said everything. (To be continued......)
