Once Huang Taiji falls into the strange circle of maintaining imperial power, what will happen, this is completely predictable, Huang Taiji is the founding emperor, but also an emperor with foresight, from the long-term war thinking, into the temporary peaceful construction period, what kind of ideas will be generated, the key is the strategists around him.

Huang Taiji's reuse of the Han people, that indicates that we have to accept some of the ideas of the Han people, the emperor's mind is something that many Han people are familiar with, and it is also something that many Han people are proud of, since Fan Wencheng is by the side of Huang Taiji, it is impossible not to talk about the connotation of the emperor's mind.

The emperor's mind is actually very harmful, people's nature is selfish, no matter how great he is, in the end he has to maintain his own dominance, no matter how much the ministers around him have made a contribution, once it affects his personal authority, or threatens the imperial power, it is to suffer from merciless purge, the ancient emperor, thought that the world is his family, belongs to him personally, the whole world, is not the king's land, the shore of the land, is not the king's minister, this is the education of Confucianism, which has influenced thousands of years, once Huang Taiji touches this thing, he will also raise his hands in favor.

The situation of Houjin, which is completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty, is in the stage of entrepreneurship, and what is needed is the unity of all people, at this time, using the emperor's mind to lead his subordinates, which will cause great harm, Zhu Yuanzhang of the year understands this, in the process of fighting the country, he pays great attention to attracting talents, but after the country is stable, the meritorious ministers have been ruthlessly cleaned.

From the information he had, Su Tiancheng analyzed it, and Huang Taiji began to slowly fall into the strange circle of the emperor's mental technique, although the means were relatively gentle, and there was no purge of meritorious people for the time being, but this trend of development. The impact on the Later Jin was significant, and the Later Jin advocated force and had not yet fully accepted Confucian thought, so in this case, Huang Taiji's actions were even more dangerous.

This is something that Su Tiancheng is very happy about. I can't imagine that there will be such a change in Houjin, this is an invisible internal friction, and if it continues, it will be an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Taiji made such an arrangement, and he had to make appropriate adjustments.

"Lao Qu, Huang Taiji has begun to form a water division, and judging from the current situation, we are also going to form a water division, but the consumption of this water division is huge. Building warships, recruiting sergeants, etc., are not ordinary expenses, and the imperial court must be unable to afford them, I have a few ideas, you can help me analyze them and see if there will be any trouble. ”

Qu Qingze nodded, and his heart also underwent subtle changes. I have been following Su Tiancheng for a long time, and I have been interested in those things in the court. There is also an analysis, all the actions of Su Tiancheng today have made the Jiangning camp strong, and at the same time, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty has slowly increased, this change can be clearly felt, but what will the emperor think. Once things develop to a certain extent, whether the emperor will have other ideas, it is uncertain, and when the time comes, how should he choose. Whether to choose to follow Su Tiancheng or be loyal to the emperor, after such a long time, Qu Qingze's thoughts are slowly biased towards the former.

The reason is also very simple, the Ming Dynasty left Su Tiancheng, it is estimated that it will be difficult to maintain, the guard army, without the slightest combat effectiveness, consumes the silver of the imperial court, not to mention, but also poisons the people from time to time, before Su Tiancheng arrived in Liaodong, the border army here is a turtle with a shrunken head, in the city, fortress and stronghold, they dare not show their faces at all, the border army in Datong and Ningxia is nothing, and let the Houjin Tartars enter the customs and plunder, but Su Tiancheng changed everything.

The Mongolian tribes have undergone tremendous changes, the Hetao area has become another barrier to the border pass of the Ming Dynasty, the Houjin Tatars want to enter the pass and plunder, first of all, they will encounter the resistance of the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, Dalinghe City has been recaptured, the Guanning Jin defense line is becoming more and more solid, the Houjin Tatars do not dare to harass at will, do not do well, the Jiangning battalion and the border army can directly smash the Yellow Dragon, attack Shenyang.

All of this is inseparable from Su Tiancheng's efforts, even now, he can't leave Su Tiancheng, if Su Tiancheng encounters the calculations of the imperial court, or the emperor's punishment, Jiangning Camp will not obey the command of others, even if it is Hong Chengchou, the following guard commanders are Su Tiancheng's henchmen, located in Anningbao and Jingbian, the mutual market, will also collapse, there is also Su Tiancheng's direct control, the collapse of the mutual market, means that the Hetao area will fall back into war, The Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe will not necessarily continue to obey the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the greater danger comes from Shaanxi Province and Henan Province, which are governed according to the rules set by Su Tiancheng.

The most fatal thing is the Houjin Tartar who is eyeing the tiger, once Huang Taiji learns that Su Tiancheng has encountered three long and two short, he will be ecstatic, I am afraid that he can't wait to lead the army and launch a large-scale attack on the Guanning Jin defense line.

"Lao Qu, I consider Dengzhou and Laizhou to be stationed, on the one hand, to form a water division, on the other hand, to build Weihaiwei into a commercial wharf, to carry out shipping, my Ming Dynasty sailors, mainly concentrated in the south, the Zheng family with the water division, rich and rival the country, always maintain such a state, it is definitely not possible, the impact of the sea ban on my Ming Dynasty is very far-reaching, so I want to try it in Weihaiwei."

"The formation and training of sailors requires a large amount of silver taels, these silver taels, the imperial court is impossible to guarantee, we can only rely on ourselves to find a way, can not increase the burden of the people, can not kill chickens and eggs, scare away many merchants, the interests of the gentry and wealthy families are also difficult to shake, in this case, can only be the ban on the sea."

"The situation of Dengzhou and Laizhou is special, I consider folding it to the imperial court, and imploring Weihaiwei to open the sea ban, and hand over a part of the silver earned to the imperial court, and more for the construction of the water division, as well as the construction of Dengzhou and Laizhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou, which were completely destroyed by Dolgon, and need to be rebuilt, and it is absolutely impossible to do without silver."

When Su Tiancheng slowly said his thoughts, Qu Qingze was very surprised.

Unexpectedly, Su Tiancheng is really ready to build a water division, Daming actually has a water division, the main representatives are Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Hongkui brothers, the water division is stationed in Fujian, nominally the water division of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, the imperial court is a little uncontrollable, the Zheng family's water division is very strong, completely obeying Zheng Zhilong's dispatch.

In 1628, that is, the first year of Chongzhen, Zheng Zhilong accepted the recruitment of the Ming Dynasty and became a military general of the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Zhilong's prestige in Fujian is very high, and his personal prestige even exceeds that of the government, the Zheng family is rich and rivals the country, and is very good to the local people, and the people are very supportive, as for the sailors controlled by Zheng Zhilong, it is said that there are more than 3,000 ships, and they completely control the sea areas of Fujian, Guangdong, etc., and the power is extremely powerful.

At this time, Su Tiancheng decided to set up a sailor, what would Zheng Zhilong think, could it be said that in a short period of time, it can develop to such a large scale, and even be able to influence Zheng Zhilong's sailor, Zheng Zhilong has been a pirate, and he is very familiar with sea operations.

"Lao Qu, if you have any ideas, just say it."

"My lord, Xia Guan has two concerns, the first is the matter of opening the sea ban, the adults in the court are resolutely opposed, Xia Guan remembers that the emperor mentioned this matter many years ago, but encountered strong opposition from the court and government, thinking that this is the rule set by the emperor, which cannot be easily changed, and the second is the formation of a water division, Zheng Zhilong's water division has a strong force, and the Lord formed a water division in Dengzhou, I don't know what Zheng Zhilong's opinion is, will it be a hindrance."

Su Tiancheng smiled.

"Lao Qu, we have been together for so many years, when have you seen me make a decision at will, since the formation of the water division, then I thought of Zheng Zhilong in the south, if Zheng Zhilong dares to oppose it, then good, I will beat him away, let him go to the sea to gain a foothold, don't think about gaining a foothold on the land in Fujian and Guangdong, I will also vigorously develop the water division and destroy his fleet, of course, if Zheng Zhilong can vigorously support and obey the command of the imperial court, I will not do this, as for the adults in the imperial court who oppose the ban on opening the sea, That's good to say, the construction of Dengzhou and Laizhou, so that they donate silver, more than at least 10,000 taels of silver per person, this is not all the donated silver, there will be in the future, Dengzhou and Laizhou need to be maintained, if they can't take out the silver, then don't oppose the ban on the sea. ”

Qu Qingze was dumbfounded, he felt it, when Su Tiancheng spoke, he showed domineering, after returning from Dengzhou, Su Tiancheng's attitude has undergone some changes, he has become more decisive in doing things, and he has a lot less scruples, such a change is what Qu Qingze is willing to see.

"My lord has arranged it like this, and the lower official thinks that there must be no problem."

"So very good, after I write a recital to the imperial court, I will rush to Dengzhou and Laizhou, you stay in Ningyuan, always pay attention to the situation here, the most important thing is to maintain stability here, I plan to take some of the officers to Dengzhou, according to the analysis of intelligence, Huang Taiji will not have any big moves in a short period of time, in general, Hong Chengchou can completely deal with it, you have to remember that the border must operate in accordance with the policy we have formulated, and there can be no recurrence, if there is such a situation, inform me as soon as possible."
