The news of the change of the first assistant of the cabinet quickly spread throughout the Ming Dynasty through the Di Bao.

This has caused a lot of shocks, governors and political envoys in various places are very concerned about this incident, strictly speaking, they all have their own backers, some of them belong to Zhou Yanru's henchmen, since Zhou Yanru resigned, their future will inevitably be affected, not to say, Zhou Yanru resigned, they have no way out, there are also ways, hurry up to the new cabinet chief assistant Wen Tiren to show loyalty, maybe be able to keep the current position, otherwise, it will not take a long time, it may be put aside.

Jiangning County also received the Di report.

This matter has little impact on Su Tiancheng.

In his memory, the records of the Ming Dynasty, Wen Tiren was classified as a traitor, but the records of the Ming Dynasty are mostly unreliable, not enough to be fully believed, and the records of the Ming Dynasty have a great relationship with the Donglin Party, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party and the Fushe in order to shirk their responsibilities, may not be able to record impartially, intentional distortion, it is also possible.

He didn't have much contact with Wen Tiren, and he felt that Wen Tiren belonged to the category of politicians and was familiar with political operations and strategies.

Historically, most of the evaluations of Wen Tiren have been negative, such as not trying to offer advice and rejecting and attacking dissidents, but there are also different comments, such as Wen Tiren is shrewd and capable, honest and self-disciplined, even his opponents and enemies have to admit this.

Su Tiancheng is biased towards the latter view, people who play politics cannot be naïve, and it is impossible not to do things such as cracking down on and excluding dissidents, if they do not do it. That's strange, and he has a very bad opinion of the Donglin Party and the Fushe, and he has some ideas, and when he has the opportunity in the future, he will talk directly to Zhu Youzhen.

But no matter how to comment. But one thing is certain, Wen Tiren is not a talent who can help the crisis, that is to say, Wen Tiren belongs to the talent who has contributed to the small benefit of the times, it is okay to tinker, and it is also good to maintain the normal operation of the imperial court, and he can completely fool the past, but he can't change the situation. Can't turn the tide.

Including Zhou Yanru, he is not a talent who can help the crisis.

This is not their own responsibility, such talents, it is difficult to find a person in hundreds of years, the limitations of history always exist, and there are only a few people who can stand at the pinnacle of history.

Therefore, for this time the emperor's move to replace the first assistant of the cabinet. Su Tiancheng wasn't too surprised, the situation was similar anyway. Not much has changed.

The training of the Jiangning battalion is in full swing, and the focus of the training is related to two aspects: one is the training of personal physical fitness, combat coordination, and tactical quality, and the other is ideological education.

The work of ideological education. Su Tiancheng personally held it in his hand, and he took great pains to determine the learning system of the Jiangning Battalion, that is, after the daily training, he took out half an hour. Carry out a general mobilization of ideas.

It is impossible to have so many teaching materials, he meditated hard and wrote a lot of speeches, these speeches involve outlook on life, values, and so on, and the form of ideological education after hundreds of years is somewhat similar.

In Su Tiancheng's view, this kind of brainwashing is absolutely indispensable, and the reason why the rogues are wanton and the reason why Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others were able to recruit so many sergeants is not entirely because the peasants have no food to eat and are about to starve to death, and the ideological education in this plays a vital role.

Whether it is painting bread to satisfy hunger or making real promises, ideological education is for one purpose, that is, to protect the family and defend the country, that is, the allegiance of soldiers.

Topics related to the emancipation of the mind of the individual and the pursuit of personal freedom and happiness are absolutely forbidden here, and this is not a topic that can be talked about now, let alone spread such ideas among the military.

Su Tiancheng believes that only by carrying out such education can we ensure that when the army is defeated, the spirit of the army is still there, and there will not be many people who surrender, even if they are in a desperate situation, they must fight to the death.

As for the big contest in peacetime, it is often held, and the winner of the big contest can not only get material rewards, but also be recorded by the secretary of the army and archived in the Jiangning camp, and this archive is directly related to the promotion in the future.

In just one month, after Su Tiancheng's personal determination of the training plan, it produced an excellent effect.

The daily study and discussion, the vigorous and vigorous competition, once every ten days, has become the most important festival for the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion, they need to show their ability at this time, the officers hope that the battalion, flag, and team they lead will win, and the sergeants hope that they can leave their names in the files of the Jiangning battalion.

Looking at all these changes, Sun Chuanting, as a consultant, was a little numb, he didn't know how much Su Tiancheng still had, the three thousand new sergeants who entered the barracks at the beginning, he was not satisfied, lifeless, some people even had hatred in their eyes, this is just a month's time, in the barracks, there is a lot of life.

The time for recruits to go from indifference and atrophy at the beginning, to slow understanding, to complete integration, is too fast.

Of course, there is one thing that Jiangning Camp does very well, that is, it does not discriminate against any brother who has just entered Jiangning Camp, as long as you can come in, everyone is a brother.

The most interesting thing is that the five hundred guards of the palace were all organized into the Jianrui battalion.

The battalions under the jurisdiction of the Jiangning battalion have subtle differences in combat effectiveness, ranking first, of course, the scout battalion, followed by the cavalry battalion, the forward battalion, the Jianrui battalion, the Shenji battalion is about the same, and the infantry battalion is ranked low because of its own specialness, it is impossible to compare with the cavalry.

The guards of the palace were not convinced, they did not think that they could enter the Xiao cavalry camp, the battle of Michi, the bravery of the Xiao cavalry camp, shocked them, they knew that they were still a little unqualified, but they could always enter the forward camp, no matter what, the battle of Michi, they also went through the grinding, and won a big victory.

It's a pity that in the next big competition, whether they were individuals or team games, they lost to the brothers of the forward battalion, if they really competed on the battlefield, in front of the forward battalion, they were already wiped out, let alone facing the strongest cavalry battalion.

The main component of the forward battalion, formerly known as Yanding, the royal guards learned the news, no one complained, all the people are training hard every day, soldiers need to speak with strength, all boasting is to be laughed at.

Even those brocade guards and factory guards have to train desperately, in the Jiangning battalion, they have no privileges, if they are not capable, they may be eliminated step by step, or even incorporated into the infantry battalion.

The most significant change is the newly recruited 3,000 sergeants, among them, there are even about 30 people, through their own efforts, directly entered the scout camp.

The scout camp is the treasure in the Jiangning camp, there are less than 300 people so far, and if you want to become a scout, the conditions are extremely harsh.

Even in the Jiangning battalion, which emphasizes the equality of everyone, the scouts are also the highest status, all the sergeants admire them and respect them, and they really have the ability to become a member of the scout camp with their own ability.

Soldiers have always admired the strong, and the scouts are special, and officers at all levels also see it in their eyes and acquiesce.

The supply of the Jiangning camp also surprised Sun Chuanting, which was not something that ordinary places could do.

He has been to many places in Jiangning County to see, and also to Shangyuan County, it is said that Shangyuan County is a prosperous place in Nanjing, and it should be stronger than Jiangning County, but the actual situation is not like this, the market in Jiangning County is prosperous, and in the countryside, the farmers are busy with things in the fields, and there are few sad faces on everyone's faces. Although the situation in Shangyuan County is not bad, they are very envious of Jiangning County, whether it is a businessman or a farmer, they all hope to be able to go to Jiangning County, such a situation is too peculiar.

The salary of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion is very high, Sun Chuanting calculated a little, to maintain the expenses of nearly 10,000 people, it needs a million taels of silver every year, and it is a miracle that Jiangning County can come up with so much silver.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, Sun Chuanting feels that Su Tiancheng is by no means an ordinary talent, it is indeed a pity to put it in a place like Jiangning County, it has only been more than a year, Jiangning County has undergone such a huge change, if Su Tiancheng is allowed to serve as the prefect, or even the governor, I don't know how much success Lu Dao has made.

Of course, the larger the place, the more contradictions it will face, and the more problems it will need to solve.

Su Tiancheng has been exercising in Jiangning County for a period of time, and with rich experience, it is time to take on a more important position.

Sun Chuanting knew that Su Tiancheng had already recommended him to the imperial court.

Su Tiancheng once asked for his opinion, whether he was willing to work in the Jiangning camp, that is, to lead the Jiangning camp, at the beginning of hearing Su Tiancheng say this, he almost thought that he had heard it wrong, after confirming that it was true, he agreed without hesitation, even if it was to do the inspection of the nine products, as long as he could be in the Jiangning camp, he was willing.

How pleasant it would be to be able to lead such an army into battle.

Besides, Sun Chuanting has also analyzed, since the emperor has given the title of Jiangning Battalion, it will not take long, as the Jiangning Battalion becomes more and more famous, everything will change, and the time for the Jiangning Battalion to become the official army of the imperial court will not be too long.

It is indeed a pity that such an army that can fight well is placed in Jiangning County, of course, the Jiangning battalion is still in the process of construction, and if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, so don't pull it out too early. (To be continued.) )
