Serving as the governor of Jiliao, this is the supreme honor, Su Tiancheng has always been outgoing, and has not done anything in the court, unless it is a cabinet minister, even if it is a six-part book, it is generally served as the governor of Liaodong, but Su Tiancheng directly served as the governor of Jiliao, and has the authority to act cheaply, directly representing the emperor, which shows Zhu Youzhen's high trust.

Of course, there is Su Tiancheng's wisdom in this, mainly to push the prince to the front, and attribute a lot of credit to the prince, which can not only ensure that his ideas are realized, but also transfer the danger of high merit and shock.

The extermination of the Liukou consumed Su Tiancheng's great physical strength and energy, so he wanted to take a good rest at home, plus the vacation granted by the emperor, there were also two months.

The office residence of the Jiliao Governor is in Ningyuan.

Ningyuan outside the Shanhaiguan, belongs to one of the important locations of the Guanning Jin defense line, this defense line is built by Sun Chengzong, specifically to resist the Houjin, the whole defense line is backed by Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan is the backbone, Jinzhou is the vanguard, echoing each other, there are a number of forts as the stronghold of the joint defense, the Guanning Jin defense line is divided into two sections in the north and south, the south section is the Guanning defense line, the total length is 100 kilometers, from Shanhaiguan to Ningyuan, the north section is 100 kilometers, starting from Ningyuan, through Songshan, Jinzhou, focusing on the Daling River.

This line of defense is very strong and plays a very important role in resisting the invasion of Houjin.

Ningyuan is about 900 miles away from the capital, and it takes about three days to get a fast horse.

Although he has not yet gone to Ningyuan to officially take office, Su Tiancheng has already looked at the maps of Liaodong in detail, it should be said that he has been looking at these maps for many years, and after crossing over, one of his biggest goals. It is to completely annihilate the Houjin, maintain the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and carry out a series of reforms, so that the Ming Dynasty will still become the boss of the whole world.

To build the Guanning Jin defense line, Sun Chengzong's original intention was very good, but it was a pity. With the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin several battles, the Ming army has already retreated in several important towns of the Guanning Jin defense line, especially after the battle of the Daling River in Chongzhen's four years, the Ming army was defeated, lost the Daling River, and was unable to completely stick to the Guanning Jin defense line, so it could only retreat in the town, relying on the dangerous terrain and the constantly reinforced city wall to resist the attack of the Houjin.

Although it is said that it is very honorable to serve as the governor of Jiliao. But it is also full of danger, the former Ji Liao Governor Yuan Chonghuan, who was in a different place, was beheaded by Zhu Youzhen, and the fate of the successive Liaodong Jingluo was not very good, probably because the Houjin was too strong, and the Ming army fought with it. Most of them were defeated. So, this enviable position. It is also the civil and military ministers in the court who are afraid, and no one wants to be lined up in Liaodong.

The battle between the Ming and the Later Jin began in the Wanli period, and the real turning point was the Battle of Salhu, which was fought in the 46th year of Wanli and ended in a crushing defeat for the Ming Dynasty. Since then, the Ming Dynasty has a strategic offensive to defensive, and the Houjin has a strategic defense to an offensive, and the overall situation began to reverse, followed by the Battle of the Daling River. It hurt the vitality of the Ming Dynasty and made the Ming soldiers extremely afraid of the Houjin Tartars, which has lasted for many years.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion soldiers into the king of Jingqin, defeated the Houjin Tartars who entered the pass, and annihilated the Tartars to more than 30,000 people, so that the Ming Dynasty was inspired.

During this period, a lot of things happened, when Su Tiancheng served as the governor of Shaanxi, he led the army deep into the Hetao area, defeated the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe, made the two tribes bow down, and willingly sent the heir to the Ming Jingshi as a hostage, the Ming Dynasty set up a mutual market in Anningbao and Jingbian, and traded with the Mongolian tribes, and the measures of the mutual market made the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe begin to become stronger, causing chaos on the grassland, and many tribes began to attack the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe under the instructions of HoujinIt's a pity that the two tribes relied on the Ming Dynasty behind them to defeat many attacks and faintly became the leaders of the Mongolian tribes.

Houjin's interests suffered serious losses.

Fortunately, the focus of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been concentrated on the grassland, and the extermination of the Liukou has become the most important task.

Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion to exterminate the Liukou, and naturally he was going to leave Liaodong.

Therefore, this appointment, in the imperial court, seems to be very calm, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs takes it for granted, except for Su Tiancheng, no one can hold this position. No one is blushing at the emperor for giving Su Tiancheng so much power, after all, going to Liaodong is not a joke.

Everyone took it for granted, but some people were unhappy.

These unhappy people are mainly Su Tiancheng's family, including Zhu Xianxin, Chunping, Wang Furong, Liu Rushi and Gu Hengbo, so many years have passed, Su Tiancheng is always running outside, always on the front line of fighting, even if all this is as it should be, but after exterminating the Liukou and making such a huge contribution, no matter what, Su Tiancheng should stay in the capital, so that the family can be reunited, everyone can see Su Tiancheng sooner or later, feel the care of her husband, and I can't imagine that I have just exterminated the Liukou, Back in the capital, Su Tiancheng took over the position of Jiliao Governor before he had time to catch his breath.

This is not a joke, against the Houjin Tartars, everyone knows that the road is not a matter of a while, it may last for many years, the conflict between the Houjin and the Ming Dynasty, from the forty-fourth year of Wanli, Nurhachi established the Houjin, the beginning of the division of Liaodong, lasted for more than 20 years, the more than 20 years, the rapid development of the Houjin, the Ming army can not resist.

Su Tiancheng is indeed brave, leading the Jiangning battalion, almost invincible, but after all, the number of soldiers in the Jiangning battalion is limited, and now the number of soldiers in the Eight Banners has reached 200,000 in Houjin, plus the Mongolian Eight Banners and Han soldiers, the total strength is probably more than 300,000.

Since getting married, Zhu Xianxin and others have rarely had time to accompany Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng has always been released as an official, although he is very young, but the age is also a little long, and Zhu Xianxin's own identity is a little special, always thinking of being able to reunite with Su Tiancheng and live quietly together.

When Su Tiancheng was at home, Zhu Xianxin always emphasized, saying that although the mansion was very lively, and many people came to visit every day, it was still a fly in the ointment, and the people who were in charge were all women, and there were no men.

Zhu Xianxin believes that as long as Su Tiancheng asks for it, there will definitely be no problem in staying in the capital.

Su Tiancheng understood the thoughts of Zhu Xianxin and others, in fact, he also wanted to stay in the capital and accompany his family, and several of his wives were peerless beauties, which one was not envious, but he had a wife who was like a flower, and many times, he still had to live a single life, of course, if he wanted to continue to find a woman, according to his identity, there was no problem, he could find as much as he wanted, the family had enough money, his status was prominent, and the key was to be young.

It was impossible to stay at home, and Su Tiancheng could only comfort Zhu Xianxin and the others as much as possible.

He is not in a hurry to go to Ningyuan to take office, it is already September, it is best to be able to spend the Spring Festival at home, and now he goes to Ningyuan, and he can't do anything, the autumn harvest season has passed, and some soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have also arrived in Ningyuan and Jinzhou, in a short period of time, Houjin will not dare to attack, and Su Tiancheng also wrote a letter to Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the Yulin battalion, asking Lu Xiangsheng to pay attention to the border passes in Datong and Ningxia, and prevent any movements in Houjin, it can be said that within this year, the border passes of the Ming Dynasty are stable, Nothing will happen.

Sichuan's complete eradication of the Liukou is also a matter of great concern to Su Tiancheng, and he must not let the Liukou resurge, this is a big taboo, although Luo Rucai's meaning is to lead some of the Liukou to directly enter the Duogandusi, thinking of going to the plateau to be a slave master, but Su Tiancheng will not tolerate such a thing, if he is negligent, maybe one day, Luo Rucai will become strong again, return to Sichuan or Shaanxi, and make chaos again, which will involve a lot of energy from the imperial court.

Su Tiancheng's next strategic plan is to completely eliminate the Qing regime, which is a grand plan, which requires the greatest energy, and may not have time to take care of other things, which requires that the Ming Dynasty must be stable internally, and the things that were previously thinking about improving the army need to be put aside for the time being, and the experience of Shaanxi, promoted in the Ming Dynasty, also needs to be completely stabilized after Liaodong.

During this period, Su Tiancheng and Sun Chengzong had a lot of contact, he didn't need to go to the court, and he didn't have many specific tasks, he was in a state of idleness, in such a state, he could think about a lot of things, Sun Chengzong, as the first assistant of the cabinet, was very familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Chengzong's qualifications were extraordinary, and his insight was even more unique.

The two discussed a lot of views, from Sun Chengzong's words, Su Tiancheng realized that Sun Chengzong was very anxious, probably because of his age, a little powerless, I hope Su Tiancheng can stabilize the situation in Liaodong as soon as possible, return to the capital, serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, and carry out a thorough reform of the Ming Dynasty.

This is one of Su Tiancheng's plans, Su Tiancheng is very clear, according to the strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is still in a leading position in the world, how to consolidate this leading position, how to exploit the wealth of other countries, how to further strengthen the strength of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty is at the peak, and the status is completely more than that superpower hundreds of years later, this is the ultimate goal.
