When he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Su Tiancheng's heart regained his calm, he repeatedly warned himself, don't feel excited because of such an appointment, don't lose your temper, and don't show great ambition, there are many lessons in history, boasting about Haikou, and in the end it can't be realized, and he will bring humiliation on himself.

Twenty-five-year-old young man, high in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, this is probably the Ming Dynasty groundbreaking, it is precisely because of this situation, so Su Tiancheng needs to be more careful, such an age, in the eyes of everyone, is a manifestation of immaturity, although he said that he is a cross, the actual age is hundreds of years old, not to say that he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, that is, to be the emperor, he can also show extraordinary ability, through nine years, he has indeed done a lot of things, vividly, think about the past eight years, has been fighting, Moving towards the set goals, there are more things that can be done as you move up the ranks.

Zhu Youzhen had a smile on his face, and Sun Chengzong and the cabinet assistants were also in the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The eyes of everyone looking at Su Tiancheng are different, so young, hanging the title of imperial envoy of the Ministry of War, the right capital, and the military affairs of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, and Huguang, which are rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty, it can be seen that the emperor trusts Su Tiancheng very much. This kind of trust even surpasses the previous Yuan Chonghuan.

Su Tiancheng's achievements and achievements are also convincing, looking at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, no one dares to pat his chest and say that he can do it.

"The ministers meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Aiqing is flat."

Zhu Youzhen had a kind smile on his face, Su Tiancheng has only been in Shaanxi for a year, and Shaanxi has undergone tremendous changes over the years. Shaanxi has not been able to pay taxes, and the imperial court has to come up with a lot of silver to assist Shaanxi, this year the situation is different, Shaanxi has paid all the taxes, and there is no need for the imperial court to allocate extra silver. Yang Sichang went to Shaanxi to see it, and the situation was very good, and when he reported it, even Zhu Youzhen couldn't believe it.

The news from Jinyiwei is consistent with what Yang Sichang saw, in this case, Zhu Youzhen's thoughts have changed slightly, and he used to say that Su Tiancheng was in Shaanxi. It will last at least two to three years, but the rogues have fled to Sichuan, and if they can't be encircled and suppressed in time, once the climate forms again, it will be more difficult to exterminate.

Lu Shanji and Qin Liangyu both led the army to encircle and suppress, the effect was very bad, if it was in the past, Zhu Youzhen must have been furious. But this time it was different, he wasn't in a hurry. Because he decided that the Jiangning camp would definitely be able to exterminate the Liukou. However, Zhu Youzhen still has some opinions about Lu Shanji, Liukou suffered heavy blows from the Jiangning camp many times, and was forced to leave Shaanxi and enter Sichuan. In such a situation, it is impossible to win it in one fell swoop.

Sun Chengzong also supported the Jiangning camp to immediately exterminate the Liukou.

Sun Chengzong's view is very practical, the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty is not the rogue who has suffered many heavy blows. Liukou can't have too much climate, the biggest trouble is still Houjin, the strength of the Manchurian Eight Banners is extraordinary, the situation in the north is not optimistic, the Ming army still does not dare to fight head-on with the Manchurian Eight Banners, can only take defensive measures, defend in the city, for more than a year, although the Manchurian Eight Banners did not launch an attack, but in Ningyuan, Jinzhou outside the city, frequent activities, slowly infiltrated the force into these areas, since the Apocalypse, Ningyuan and Jinzhou periphery, basically a wilderness, no one in sight, A lot of the land was barren and now it's actually being planted.

It is a pity that the Ming army was unable to attack the Manchurian Eight Banners, and could only watch.

The change in the strategic deployment of the Later Jin Dynasty also aroused Sun Chengzong's great attention, the establishment of the Manchurian Eight Banners Army, he knew the Tao, was a soldier in wartime, and was a little similar to the Ming Dynasty's Tun Army, but now, the Manchurian Eight Banners slowly fixed down and began to form a regular army, and instead of staying near Shenyang, he began to be stationed in Ningyuan and Jinzhou.

All this suggests that Houjin may act in a short period of time.

In view of this situation, the Jiangning battalion could not always stay in Shaanxi, and had to be pulled out, first of all, it was necessary to exterminate the Liukou, and then go to the Liaodong area and start to deal with the Manchurian Eight Banners. This action must be advanced,

The emperor's thoughts are consistent with his thoughts, so this change seems logical.

"Su Aiqing, I originally promised you two to three years, but in just one year, I will let you leave Shaanxi and exterminate the Liukou, but what are the complaints."

"The minister did not complain, the minister heard that the liukou is very rampant in Sichuan, and he is also very anxious, last year there were a lot of homeless people in Sichuan, pouring into Shaanxi, the pressure on Shaanxi suddenly increased, the minister thought that if Sichuan was in chaos, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan and other places would be greatly affected, so the eradication of the liukou became a top priority."

"Okay, Aiqing can have such an understanding, I am very pleased, Aiqing is in charge of the eradication of the rogue, can you make any requests."

"The minister has three requirements, and I hope the emperor will approve it."

"Although."

"The first requirement, the minister exterminates the Liukou, do not be interfered with by the outside world, will be outside, the monarch's order is not subject to the second requirement, all the officers who do not obey the dispatch, including officials at all levels, the minister can deal with it according to the situation, if the military situation is urgent, the minister can make a decision on the spot, the third requirement, during the period of the minister's extermination of the Liukou, all the officials in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang adjustment, must inform the minister in advance, the minister is prepared."

"That's right, I gave you the Shang Fang Sword, which is to let Aiqing make a decision on the spot, if these can't be done, I can't ask Aiqing to exterminate the Liukou."

"The minister has something to say."

"What else does Aiqing want?"

"The minister has a different view of the Liukou, when the Liukou left Shaanxi, there were many leaders, different orders, difficult to coordinate and cooperate, and easy to break, but after Li Zicheng was promoted as the king of Chuang, this situation changed, many leaders before the Liukou, all obeyed Li Zicheng, after the unification of command, the strength of the Liukou has grown unprecedentedly, so it is difficult to exterminate Lord Lu Shanji and the old general Qin Liangyu for a while, which is also normal, the terrain of Sichuan is complex, the mountains are sparse, and it increases the difficulty of encirclement and suppression, The minister is responsible for exterminating the Liukou, and will never cheer for the victory of one or two, what the minister needs is to completely exterminate the Liukou and prevent them from continuing to make trouble, so it may take a certain amount of time, not a battle or two, the minister conservatively estimates, at least half a year to a year, and at most two years. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak for the time being, and Sun Chengzong looked at Su Tiancheng, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, and the rest of the people wouldn't speak.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Youzhen finally spoke.

"Su Aiqing, I understand what you mean, how to deploy, how to exterminate the rogue, since I entrust it to you, let you do it, I will not intervene, just two years, I can also relax the time, if within two years, if you can't completely exterminate the rogue, the sky can't fall."

"Thank you for the emperor's mercy, and you must do your best."

"Okay, what I want is Aiqing's words, every time Aiqing does something, she has never disappointed me, I am optimistic about Aiqing, it is because you don't boast about Haikou, there is room for it, although you have made so many contributions, it is still low-key, I believe in you, even if you let it go, I am your backing."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen was a little excited.

"There are always some people, who have nothing to do, slander behind their backs, my soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the front, but some people in the rear say that they have bad intentions, etc., I don't understand, is it all arguing in the court, so that Houjin will not dare to attack, and will be able to quarrel and exterminate the Liukou, I know that Aiqing is also worried about these things, I swear in the Heart Cultivation Palace today, Aiqing will exterminate the Liukou in the front, no matter what the twists and turns, I will ignore it. Sun Aiqing, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, you remember what I said today, remind me all the time, don't forget. ”

The surroundings were very quiet, no one spoke, and no one thought that the emperor would say such a thing.

"The minister is grateful, the minister doesn't have such thoughts, the minister just wants to do his best to exterminate the rogue."

Sun Chengzong on the side had no expression on his face, but when he occasionally looked at Su Tiancheng, a glimmer of light shot out of his eyes, as if he was trying to remind him of something.

Seeing all directions, Su Tiancheng certainly noticed it, and he also knew that Zhu Youzhen's promise to enter just showed that he was worried, and in such a situation, he would take the initiative to eliminate the emperor's worries, and there must be a way.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a proposal, I beg the emperor to grant permission."

"Aiqing said it and listened."

"The minister hangs the title of military department secretary and right capital imperial envoy, the governor of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang five provinces of military affairs, and continues to serve as the commander of the Jiangning battalion, a little inappropriate, the minister resigns from the post of commander of the Jiangning battalion, and recommends Hong Chengchou to serve as the commander of the Jiangning battalion, and in addition, please ask the emperor to send a lieutenant to serve as the commander of the Jiangning battalion."

Zhu Youzhen's eyes also shot out of the essence, Su Tiancheng took the initiative to resign from the post of commander of the Jiangning battalion, which was beyond his expectations, such an army, everyone wants to master it.

"Is Aiqing really thinking so?"

"This is what the minister really thinks."

Su Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, his prediction was finally accurate, it seems that Zhu Youzhen's heart has always been worried.

"Okay, I'm right, Hong Chengchou is the commander of the Jiangning battalion, as for the post of supervising the army, I will let Qin Sande take the position, Qin Sande has done a good job in Nanzhili, and he has been back in the capital for some time, such a heavy task belongs to him."
