Chen Xinjia doesn't know Su Tiancheng very well, the two have never worked together, after Su Tiancheng became the eye of the palace test, he has always been released, he has not been an official in the capital, the two have no chance to meet and work together, Su Tiancheng has repeatedly succeeded, and has made a huge contribution to the stability of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be erased, Chen Xinjia also fully admits it, it should be said that Chen Xinjia, who served as the governor of Liaodong, has absolutely no intention of confronting Su Tiancheng, even if the emperor asks him to assist Su Tiancheng, he is also willing, People have a huge credit, and they are not qualified to call the board.

But deep down, Chen Xinjia is still looking forward to making contributions, so that he can be promoted, can grasp greater power, and can prove his own worth, from this point of view, Chen Xinjia looks forward to being able to decide the affairs of Liaodong alone.

Chen Xinjia's goal was achieved, Su Tiancheng left Liaodong, although he is still the Liao Governor of Ji, but the affairs of Liaodong are completely decided by Chen Xinjia, and in this process, Su Tiancheng, who is far away in Dengzhou, did not put forward any opinions and suggestions, let alone interfere in the affairs of Liaodong, which made Chen Xinjia very grateful and thought that Su Tiancheng was very smart.

On the one hand, he has the meaning of repaying the peach, feeling that Su Tiancheng does not interfere in the affairs of Liaodong, and on the other hand, he also feels that the main thing stationed in Liaodong is the border army, as long as he controls a large number of border troops, he will be able to control the situation in Liaodong, of course, the most important thing is that Chen Xinjia once said this matter in the secret fold, and the emperor did not give any reply, which shows that the emperor does not necessarily support his control of the Jiangning camp, the smart Chen Xinjia, It's never going to be hard.

After deciding to attack Houjin Tartar, Chen Xinjia was still very nervous. After all, Su Tiancheng's ability is there, if he has worked hard to prepare, and the emperor has decreed, asking Su Tiancheng to become the coach and assist Su Tiancheng himself, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water. All preparations are made for the wedding garments of others.

The emperor's decree came down quickly, in fact, before the decree came down, Chen Xinjia had already known that Tang Shiji, the second assistant of the cabinet, supported himself to become the commander of the Golden Tartars after the conquest, and the emperor adopted Tang Shiji's suggestion.

To be able to become the commander of the Golden Tartars after the conquest, that is an extraordinary thing, Su Tiancheng's influence is too great, it is estimated that many adults in the court think that Su Tiancheng should become the boss. At this time, Tang Shiji supported himself as the coach, which gave him the opportunity to make contributions, and such kindness was unusual.

Chen Xinjia knows better that being able to have such an opportunity has a lot to do with Tang Haitai, who often writes letters to Tang Shiji, in the process. Tang Haitai must have said a lot of good things about himself, and he fully supported himself.

Because of the appearance of this matter. Chen Xinjia valued Tang Haitai even more, and he also thought of giving Tang Haitai a chance in the process of conquering Houjin Tartar in the future, so that Tang Haitai could be promoted naturally, of course. Discussing the matter of the Golden Tartar after the attack, Chen Xinjia also intentionally or unintentionally let Tang Haitai participate, Tang Haitai's participation is actually Tang Shiji's participation, so the combat plan he submitted. After the cabinet passes, it is more likely to get the emperor's approval.

After Qian Qianyi left, Chen Xinjia found Tang Haitai, involved in this campaign, there were several core questions, he wanted to ask Tang Haitai, maybe Tang Haitai would have some opinions, maybe he wouldn't say anything, but he had to make his opinions clear, so that Tang Shiji could know the truth.

After Tang Haitai entered the wing, Chen Xinjia was not polite.

"Tang Haitai, sit down and talk."

"I don't know what Lord Lu Dao commands, Xia Guan will definitely do his best to do a good job."

"Hehe, there is nothing else to do today, there are a few questions, I have been thinking about it, I want to see what your opinion is, don't have any concerns, what do you think, although it is said."

"My lord, the lower officials must know everything and say everything."

"Very good, I'll just say it directly, the first question, do you think the Jiangning battalion should participate in this expedition, the Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting, this is known to the imperial court, and it is also a fact that cannot be avoided, I have always been very hesitant, I don't know if the Jiangning battalion should participate in the expedition, and as the main vanguard."

Tang Haitai was stunned for a moment, this question is very sensitive, but it is very familiar.

Chen Xinjia raised such a sensitive question, and it also reflected one thing, that is, Chen Xinjia regarded him as a confidant, such an opportunity is rare, of course, it also depends on Tang Haitai's own performance.

Tang Haitai must seize such an opportunity, with the support of Tang Shiji behind him, and if he can get Chen Xinjia's support, his strength will be even stronger.

After thinking for a while, Tang Haitai spoke.

"Your Excellency trusts, the lower officials are grateful, the adults talked about whether the Jiangning battalion participated in the war, the lower officers were courageous, the lower officials thought that the Jiangning battalion should not participate in the war, there are three reasons, the first is to take into account the feelings of the border army, stationed in Liaodong, or mainly to the border army, the Jiangning battalion only has 30,000 people, relying on these 30,000 people, it is impossible to decide the direction of the battle, and it may also make the border officers and sergeants feel discouraged, the lower officers and sergeants have visited the border army sergeants, their fighting spirit is high, and they are completely competent."

"The second is to take into account the bravery of the Jiangning battalion, when the lord talks about the bravery of the Jiangning battalion, the lower officials will not deny it, it is precisely because of the bravery of the Jiangning battalion that the lower officials are worried that if the Jiangning battalion participates in the battle, I am afraid that it will also regard itself as the boss, and always think about the situation of leading the battle.

"The third is to take into account the needs of the operation, the Jiangning battalion participated in the battle, I am afraid it is difficult to deal with the border army, the Yulin battalion to deal with the relationship, the time when the subordinate came to Liaodong, although not long, but also felt, the border army and the Yulin battalion sergeants, there is a certain fear of the Jiangning battalion soldiers, this is probably because the Jiangning battalion took Dalinghe City, showing bravery, if the Jiangning battalion participates in the battle, the border army and the Yulin battalion are looking forward to the Jiangning battalion, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on the battle."

Chen Xinjia nodded frequently, and after Tang Haitai finished speaking, he quickly spoke.

"Tang Haitai, you are thinking very carefully, it seems that during this time, you are also constantly figuring it out, I also think the same, from the overall consideration of the battle, the Jiangning battalion should not participate in the battle, hearing you say this, I am even more determined, or act according to the previous deployment."

The expression on Tang Haitai's face was very calm, and in his heart, happiness blossomed.

He didn't want the Jiangning battalion to participate in this expedition, his fundamental idea was that he didn't want the Jiangning battalion to establish a meritorious service, and this meritorious service naturally fell on Su Tiancheng's head, how could the Jiangning battalion get such a benefit.

"Tang Haitai, the Guanning Jin defense line is very important, after the conquest of the Jin Tartars, we must guard the Guanning Jin defense line, Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, can not have the slightest mistake, if the Houjin Tartars take advantage of our attack, suddenly attack, the sergeants stationed in the Guanning Jin defense line, must resist, once the Houjin Tartar's attack fails, they must consider retreating quickly, if they stay here, I am afraid that they will encounter a front and rear attack, and the whole army will be annihilated, so to say, garrison the Guanning Jin defense line, It's also a very important responsibility, and in your opinion, who is up to the task. ”

Chen Xinjia meant that he wanted to ask Tang Haitai to recommend the person in charge of the overall defense line of Guanningjin, in fact, the entire Liaodong can be responsible for this matter, that is, there are so many people, Chen Xinjia has always been a little hesitant, and in the end, he has not been able to decide on the candidate.

This time, Tang Haitai spoke without hesitation.

"Xia Guan thinks that Lord Qian is the most suitable."

"Oh, why do you think so, Lord Qian is a civil official and has never experienced a battle, Lord Hong is the commander of the Jiangning battalion, has been on expedition for many years, and has rich experience."

"Xiaguan is still those ideas just now, Lord Hong is indeed familiar with the battle, but the status of the Jiangning battalion is special, if Lord Hong is responsible for sticking to the Guanningjin defense line, first, there may be problems with the deployment of sergeants, and secondly, it is not easy to coordinate comprehensively, Lord Qian has been in Liaodong for so long, he is familiar with the situation in Liaodong, and he is completely competent, Lord Qian is in charge of overall command, and the biggest advantage is to be able to be fair."

Chen Xinjia nodded slightly, he found that the words Tang Haitai said were actually in line with his own thoughts, could it be that these questions were also Tang Shiji's opinion, Chen Xinjia knew that Tang Haitai probably did not have such a profound opinion.

"Yes, you've thought it through."

After asking a few questions, Chen Xinjia said the last question.

"Tang Haitai, after this expedition, Jin Tartar, are you willing to stay in Ningyuan, or follow me out to fight, you will always be by my side."

There is no need to remind such a question, Tang Haitai also knows how to answer it.

"The lower officials obey the arrangement of the adults, if they want the lower officials to choose, the lower officials must follow the adults, and the golden tartars will be conquered after the battle."

After coming out of the side room, Tang Haitai had a smile on his face, fortunately he had been prepared, Tang Shiji had already mentioned these problems in the letter, he had no preparations, and he didn't think that there was such an opportunity, and he didn't expect Chen Xinjia to find him so quickly.

Back in the office, Tang Haitai closed the door, he needed to write a letter immediately, and today's events must be reported to Tang Shiji immediately.

Tang Haitai is very comfortable, Tang Shiji has thought of many things, as long as he does what Tang Shiji asks, he will have a great future in the future, and Chen Xinjia also regards him as a confidant. The only thing that I am not satisfied with is that it is always dangerous to follow Chen Xinjia to fight, although it is by Chen Xinjia's side, such an adventure is very necessary, and I can't retreat.
