(Thank you for the valuable monthly votes cast by Ming Volcano, Before Dawn, Strange Friends, and Jesonshers, and thank you for the valuable evaluation votes cast by everyone who crossed the bar together, thank you.) ）

The atmosphere of the court began to become delicate.

There is no doubt that the Jiangning battalion has achieved such a great record and has been commended, and the next step is to mobilize the Jiangning battalion to deal with the Tartars in the north.

This kind of opinion began to spread, and Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, all supported this opinion, and they also understood the importance of Su Tiancheng, and Su Tiancheng could continue to be the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion and follow the actions of the Jiangning battalion.

Su Tiancheng already knew this opinion.

He began to be anxious, and if he wanted to hurry, he couldn't reach it, and along the way, he thought of this possibility, and he had already left a back hand, but if Zhu Youzhen was hot-headed and asked Jiang Ningying to come to the north, it would be a big deal.

Visiting Wen Tiren and Zhang Fengyi is useless, and their own opinions will definitely not be taken seriously, unless they meet the emperor directly, speak openly and honestly, and say their thoughts, otherwise all efforts will be in vain.

During the two days of waiting for the emperor to summon him, Su Tiancheng was like an ant on a hot pot.

In the imperial court, there are more and more discussions about the Jiangning camp, and the opinions are becoming more and more unified.

Xu Er is a soldier in the army, he is very clear about these opinions, he goes to the official post every day to report the situation to Su Tiancheng, from Su Tiancheng's body, he has learned a lot of things, there is a sentence he remembers very clearly, this is Su Tiancheng said, big things about principles, small things about style. He understood this sentence for a long time.

By talking to Su Tiancheng. He also supported Su Tiancheng, the Jiangning battalion really couldn't rush to the north, the number of people was not enough, the supplies were not enough, and it would take some time to develop and grow.

The so-called foundation is not strong. The earth shakes and the mountains shake.

The eunuch took Su Tiancheng and entered the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Looking at the ministers in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Su Tiancheng was greatly surprised.

Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, Wu Zongda, the second assistant, Wang Yingxiong, Qian Shisheng, etc., Li Changgeng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Hou Xun, the newly appointed secretary of the household department, Li Kangxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Hu Yingtai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zhou Shipu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Tang Shiji, the imperial history of Zuodu, are all here.

Xu Eryi stood behind and looked at Su Tiancheng, his eyes revealing worry.

Seeing all this, Su Tiancheng understood. If I can't say enough reasons, the Jiangning battalion will definitely be dispatched, and I don't want to think about it, and I will continue to work in Jiangning County.

If you encounter such a situation, it will be miserable, and the Zhongxing society will encounter problems. At least in some respects, it will follow the old ways. It is difficult to pioneer and innovate, and the good situation of Jiangning County may not be able to be maintained.

As for the Jiangning camp, how long can it last without material support?

"Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, greets the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live. ”

"Su Aiqing is flat."

After Su Tiancheng stood up, Zhu Youzhen spoke with a smile.

"Su Aiqing, today I have summoned the cabinet ministers, as well as the six Shangshu and the Zuodu Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to discuss the affairs of the Jiangning camp. You're the overseer of the Jiangning battalion, and I'd love to hear your opinion. ”

"The minister must report according to the truth."

"Okay, Zhang Aiqing, let's talk about your opinions."

Zhang Fengyi looked at Su Tiancheng and quickly spoke.

"The minister thinks that the Jiangning battalion is brave and good at fighting, placed in Jiangning County, is a violent thing, now, I am in the north of the Ming Dynasty in an emergency, Houjin often harassed, Jiangning battalion and Houjin fight, one hundred sergeants, after the total annihilation of Jinzheng Red Banner eighty-seven cavalry, such combat effectiveness, can be dispatched to the Shanhaiguan area, become the main force to meet the Jinman Eight Banners."

Zhang Fengyi said very concisely, and the meaning was clear in a few words.

After Zhang Fengyi finished speaking, Wen Tiren spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Zhang said is reasonable, and the cabinet has also discussed that the Jiangning battalion is strong, and it is feasible to be dispatched to the north to become the main force to meet the Manchurian Eight Banners, as for the rest of the many difficulties, they can be gradually considered to be solved, the minister knows that the Jiangning battalion has not been established for a long time, and there must be many difficulties, but compared with the emergency in the north, all this is nothing, and the Jiangning battalion must focus on the major affairs of the family and the country."

Su Tiancheng almost choked on one breath.

Wen Tiren's words were too level, blocking all kinds of excuses, and he was still thinking about it, but it seems that he can only tell the truth and be open and honest.

"Su Aiqing, what do you mean, you are the supervisor of the Jiangning battalion."

"The ministers have different opinions, the Jiangning camp is now in the north, the timing is not right, if it is forcibly transferred to the Shanhaiguan area, I am afraid that it will live up to the emperor's high expectations, and it will not be able to play a decisive role."

Inside the Heart Cultivation Palace, it is very quiet.

Wang Chengen, who was standing next to Zhu Youzhen, had always been staring down, and after Su Tiancheng said this, he raised his eyelids and shot at Su Tiancheng with a look.

"Oh, why did Su Aiqing say that?"

Zhu Youzhen's tone was very soft, there was no impatience at all, Wang Chengen's eyes, Su Tiancheng also saw it, he understood, the emperor may have thought about it, calling himself to the Heart Cultivation Palace is to give himself a chance, as long as he says a clear reason, Jiang Ningying can continue to stay in the south.

"There are three reasons for this."

"The first reason is to know oneself and know one's opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles."

"The military strength of Houjin, relatively speaking, is very strong, there are a total of 60,000 elite soldiers in the Eight Banners of Manchuria, these are the basic teams that Nurhachi and Huang Taiji rely on, and they are also their elite teams, and their combat effectiveness is strong, in addition, there are two Mongolian banners, which are the Mongolian right battalion, the Mongolian left battalion, and the Han army one banner, so that it is a total of eleven banners."

"In the middle of the eleven banners, the situation of the Manchurian Eight Banners is very clear, the minister does not say much, the Mongolian two banners, the same should not be underestimated, the Mongolians are good at riding horses, the cavalry is very strong, and the Mongolians are savage, regardless of life and death, blindly brute, such cavalry, is not very easy to deal with."

"The last thing to say is that the Han army is a banner, among which there is the scum Kong Youde who all adults know the way of the Han Dynasty, Kong Youde is familiar with the combat ability of my Ming sergeant, as well as the tactical literacy, after the surrender of Jin, it is already a big trouble, and the Han army is a banner, focusing on the use of artillery and other heavy weapons, which can threaten our Ming army."

"In this way, Houjin's strength has already exceeded 100,000."

"Let's look at the Jiangning camp again."

"The Jiangning battalion was established less than a year ago, there are currently 9,000 soldiers, and they have experienced seven battles of all sizes, among which the killing is not muddy, it belongs to outwitting, and later exterminated the bandit Du Laosan, Liukou Fangming, Zijin Liang, Lao Huihui, etc., are all vicious battles, this time the killing of 87 Tartars, it is even more thrilling, before and after, the Jiangning battalion has fallen more than 1,000 people."

"At first glance, the Jiangning battalion has experienced so many battles and has a lot of actual combat experience, but the minister understands a truth, two fists are difficult to defeat four legs, and the nine thousand soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are all brave, and they can't resist the 100,000 soldiers of Houjin."

"The minister said this, not to grow the prestige of others, to destroy their own ambition, but to seek truth from facts, the minister participated in every fight of the Jiangning battalion, the sword is ruthless, the Jiangning battalion grows up, it is not easy, every step is with blood and tears, the Jiangning battalion is still growing, and it also needs to gather strength, and pull out the gang too early, there is no harm and no benefit."

"The second reason is that the accumulation is insufficient."

"The Jiangning battalion has such a strong combat effectiveness, it needs a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass support, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, all of them are sergeants galloping on the battlefield, there is no tun army, no need for tuntian, they are professional soldiers, their task is to go into battle to kill the enemy, is to protect the rivers and mountains of my Ming Dynasty, farming is not their task, they have to train every day, and the Spring Festival is no exception."

"To maintain such an army, the expenses required, not to mention the minister, you are also clear, here, the minister does not dare to conceal, most of the income of Jiangning County must be used to maintain the expenses of the Jiangning battalion, and the expenses of the Jiangning battalion must be absolutely guaranteed, even if the county government is poor, it doesn't matter."

"The purpose of this is to ensure the morale of the Jiangning battalion to the greatest extent."

"The minister needs to gather enough money and food, at least to ensure the expenses of the Jiangning battalion for more than three years, with food in hand, and not panic, with such confidence, all the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion can throw their heads, spill their blood, go forward and follow, protect my Daming country, exterminate the Liukou, annihilate the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Two Banners, and the Han Army One Banner."

"The third reason is to expand the army."

"The Jiangning battalion in the eyes of the minister must be invincible and invincible, no matter what kind of environment it is, it must be outstanding in attacking the city, facing the enemy head-on, and defending the city.

"Every time I go on a campaign, the minister's request to the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion is to make dumplings, not to chase ducks, and the popular explanation is to gather and encircle and annihilate the opponent, and eliminate the opponent's vitality to the greatest extent, not to drive the opponent away, all along, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have done this."

"In this way, the existing 9,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion seem a little thin, if the opponent is too large, the Jiangning battalion will not be able to bear it, and every time it fights, it will not be able to wipe out the vitality of the confrontation to the greatest extent, which is the biggest consumption for the Jiangning battalion."

"Therefore, the minister's meaning, the Jiangning battalion should be immediately expanded, increasing to more than 30,000 people, with more than 30,000 soldiers, even in the face of 100,000 people, the minister dares to guarantee that the Jiangning battalion will be able to achieve the most victorious victory."

"Your Majesty, my lords, this is the true thoughts of the minister, and I beg for the emperor's permission and your understanding and support."

Inside the Heart Cultivation Palace, it is very quiet.

Not only Wen Tiren and others, but also Zhu Youzhen were also shocked by Su Tiancheng's arrogance.

They didn't expect that Su Tiancheng's plan was so far-reaching and demanding. (To be continued.) )
