Chapter 842: Different Requirements (2)
Dengzhou, Penglai City.
Here's a different picture.
The 53,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were ready to go, waiting for Su Tiancheng's order, and the warships formed and quietly parked in the harbor. The warship will take two full days to arrive at the twin islands, the first task is to destroy the warship of the Houjin Naval Division, and then land, go straight to Lushun, the station of the Houjin Naval Division, and completely annihilate the Rear Naval Division, many soldiers, almost a day and a night did not close their eyes, after the time of departure was determined, Penglai City was extremely busy, countless grains and grass, artillery shells began to be transported to the warships, patrol ships, and now all the preparations have been completed.
At three o'clock, Su Tiancheng came to the Penglai City Military Port.
There are not many officers and men in the military port, mainly officers at all levels, and the officers and men have already boarded the ship.
The scheduled time of departure was the hour, and there was only a quarter of an hour before the army was about to leave.
Looking at the mighty warship formation on the sea, looking at the dense soldiers on the warship, Su Tiancheng was excited, in the past few years, the Jiangning battalion has also stopped the expedition, mainly in the construction of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, the rapid development of Dengzhou and other places, let Su Tiancheng believe that as long as he is given two more years, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou will become the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, surpassing the North Zhili and the South Zhili, and surpassing the Beijing Division, but the special situation faced by the Ming Dynasty makes him not have so much time to build.
Su Tiancheng walked to the officer's wharf, and thousands of officers at all levels knelt on one knee in unison.
"The handsome and mighty ......"
The soldiers on the warship also followed and shouted out the handsome and mighty, and for a while, the rumbling shouts resounded in the sky.
Su Tiancheng waved his hand and thought about all the soldiers. After so many years of hard work, his goal has basically been achieved, and the Jiangning Battalion has basically become his team, even if the emperor comes to the Jiangning Battalion, I am afraid that there is no such high treatment, looking at the entire Daming. It is impossible for an army that can compete with the Jiangning battalion to appear, even if it is a strong Houjin Tartar, it will tremble under the prestige of the Jiangning battalion.
Su Tiancheng didn't want to rebel, after crossing over, he didn't have such an idea, as long as his ideas, his ideals, could be realized in the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Ming Dynasty can issue the kind of words of the Han Dynasty: Those who offend my Han Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away, his goal will be achieved, whether to be an emperor or not is not the most important thing, in this era, if you want to reform the emperor's etiquette, don't even think about it. The emperor is actually very hard, especially to be a good emperor.
Su Tiancheng is not a good man and a woman. Once the Ming Dynasty is strong enough, it will definitely expand outward, loot a lot of wealth, and make the Ming Dynasty more powerful, Su Tiancheng knows that life expectancy is limited. In his lifetime, he laid the most solid foundation for the Ming Dynasty, a foundation that others could not shake, so that his purpose was fully achieved.
There is a good saying, use the system to manage people. Use the system to manage things, use the system to manage the society, this sentence is easy to say, but to really do it, I'm afraid it's not so simple, the Ming Dynasty still belongs to the agriculture-based society, thinking about the establishment of a more advanced system, is not very realistic, I am afraid it will be counterproductive.
What can be done, Su Tiancheng spares no effort, things that cannot be done for the time being, such as industrialization, Su Tiancheng will not spend energy, he has too many things to do.
Su Tiancheng does not approve of ruthless killing, the regime established through killing, with too much blood, after the border army captured Yizhou, the act of slaughtering the city, Su Tiancheng was very angry, as the saying goes, fight the world on horseback, but you can't govern the world on horseback, in Su Tiancheng's heart, the Mongolian tribe and the Houjin must be completely conquered, even if it is to kill, these places originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, as for Korea, Japan and other places, you don't necessarily need to rely on killing to conquer, These places need to be conquered with culture, and these places need to be completely conquered with Confucian culture, which is the royal way.
After all the officers on the dock got up, Su Tiancheng spoke with a stern face.
"The Jiangning battalion went out today, the purpose is very clear, the commander does not say much, for so many years, the Jiangning battalion has fought everywhere, although the prestige is far and wide, but speaking of which, it is to exterminate the Liukou, and the others are not particularly great merits, today's expedition, our opponent is the Houjin Tartar, this is the moment of the real meritorious service of the Jiangning battalion, the commander hopes that all the soldiers will share the same hatred and give the Houjin Tartar a devastating blow."
"From today on, the fight between my Ming Dynasty and Houjin has been fully rolled out, the fight on the battlefield, either you die or I die, you keep in mind one sentence, the brave wins when you meet on a narrow road, Houjin Tartar once boasted to himself, the Jurchen is not ten thousand, and it is invincible over ten thousand, now let them see it, Jiangning Camp is their killing star."
"The military discipline of the Jiangning battalion is strict, and it is precisely by relying on this that my Jiangning battalion has been famous, the commander said, you live and die on the battlefield, without the slightest hesitation, but in the face of ordinary people, in the face of the old and weak women and children, stretched out the butcher's knife, it is not a soldier of the Jiangning battalion, it is a murderous demon."
"There are those who kill innocents indiscriminately, those who commit murder of civilians, those who commit military justice, those who commit adultery with women, those who engage in military law, those who plunder property, and those who engage in military law......"
Su Tiancheng's voice was not loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, the dock was unusually quiet, and many officers stood up straight and listened to Su Tiancheng's admonition.
Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, after entering the Jiangning battalion, once participated in a naval battle, which was to deal with the Zheng family sailor led by Zheng Hongkui, that time Su Tiancheng did not speak, they did not have any feelings, but felt that the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning battalion was extraordinary, between the soldiers, although there may be opinions on weekdays, but after going to the battlefield, they are brothers, pay attention to each other, and have been in the Jiangning battalion for a long time, they are also familiar with the military discipline and military regulations of the Jiangning battalion, and the management of the Jiangning battalion is extremely strict, and even a little harsh.
This time, they heard Su Tiancheng's reprimand, and did not boast about the Jiangning battalion, although the Jiangning battalion was prestigious, and there were no detailed operational requirements, this was because officers at all levels had long been familiar with the operational deployment, and would strictly follow the operational deployment, give full play to their personal abilities, and lead the soldiers to fight, but Su Tiancheng strictly emphasized discipline, which was a tight spell on the heads of the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion.
When I was in the Liukou, the reason for the rebellion was because of the exploitation of the officials, the brutal killing of the officials and the army, the people couldn't survive, and it was better to starve to death than to rebel, so there were so many rebels surging, but for a long time in the ranks of the rebels, the three of them were also a little confused, some of the situations they saw were not the original intention of the rebels, many of the rebels, after capturing the city, burned, killed and looted, and the behavior was no less than that of the officers and the soldiers, and even how many times, the officers in the rebels fought because of the snatching of women. As for Zhang Xianzhong's brutality, they have a profound experience.
The time to Dengzhou and Jiangning camp is not too long, the three of them also have some doubts, can it be said that Jiangning camp is really so brave, but nearly a year, their views have changed completely, the people of Dengzhou are rich, they can't see hunger, as long as they don't have the strength, they can always find something to do, the gap between the rich and the poor also exists, but the people's mentality is peaceful, they have food to eat, they will not starve to death, the government cares about the people, under such conditions, who would think of rebellion, I am afraid that the gods are coming, and they cannot encourage people here to rebel.
More importantly, in the past year, the three of them have never seen the Jiangning battalion soldiers oppress the people, of course, the three also know that most of the families of the Jiangning battalion soldiers have come to Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou, and this arrangement will definitely be conducive to the stability of the Jiangning battalion and enhance its cohesion.
Jiangning Camp Water Division, defeated the Zheng Family Water Division, this matter, Dengzhou did not publicize, and even many people did not know about this matter, Su Tiancheng once said a sentence, the three of them were very impressed, this is their own business, solve it by themselves, there is no need to publicize it, family ugliness can not be publicized, so although it won a complete victory, but the Jiangning camp is very calm.
This time the situation is different, the Jiangning battalion went out to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, since the Wanli years, the people in the north, including the people in Shandong and other places, have suffered countless killings and looting from the Houjin Tartars, it can be said that they have a blood feud with the Houjin Tartars, and the Houjin Tartars established the Great Qing Dynasty, the intention is very obvious, that is, to enter the Central Plains, this danger of losing the country, no one wants to see.
Therefore, before setting out on the expedition, Su Tiancheng uttered these impassioned words and put forward clear requirements.
Su Tiancheng finally boarded the Penglai No. 1 warship, and in an instant, the huge Chinese army flag was raised, the rumbling drums sounded, and the Chinese army flag was raised, which means that the campaign has begun.
The huge warship formation set off on time.
Su Tiancheng stood on the foredeck, looking at the endless sea, the churning in his heart, others can't understand it, after so many years, he almost forgot that he was once a traverser, he has integrated into this era, and his gestures are no different from others, at the beginning of the crossing, he set himself a lot of goals, exterminate the Liukou, stabilize Shaanxi, and establish the base of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, these are all basic preparations, belong to internal things, from now on, He is about to fight for the extermination of the Houjin Tartar, he doesn't know how long it will take for the Dao to really defeat the opponent of Huang Taiji, and he doesn't know if the Emperor Taiji will suddenly get sick and die suddenly, but he knows that he must destroy the Houjin Tartar.
In fact, the extermination of the Golden Tartar is also a family matter, but in the eyes of everyone, it is a little different. (To be continued......)
