At the end of November of the twelfth year of Chongzhen.

The climate in the north is already very cold, and Ningyuan City is no exception, there are not many pedestrians on the street in the daytime, and when there is nothing to do, most of them hide at home to bake the fire, and it is even more deserted at night.

Su Tiancheng has always remembered the affairs of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and he is very clear about the construction situation over there, and there is information coming almost every day, and according to Su Tiancheng's requirements, Qu Qingze has strengthened his grasp of the intelligence of Dengzhou and Laizhou. The Governor's Mansion located in the capital city of Dengzhou has been built, and Song Sijun is also ready to start transporting silver taels, of course, all these things will only start after Su Tiancheng arrives in Dengzhou.

Although the weather is cold, the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion and the border army have not relaxed at all, and the daily training has become a regular class, and they must not relax, and through such a long period of training, the combat effectiveness of the border army has been significantly enhanced, but compared with the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion, there is still a certain gap.

Su Tiancheng's requirements are very simple, no matter what, the border army must overcome its own fears, dare to start a field battle with the Eight Banners Army of Houjin, war horses are not worried, through the mutual market, a steady stream of war horses into Liaodong, supplemented to the middle of the border army, the imperial court allocated to the border army's military salary, Su Tiancheng will not deduct a penny of silver, all of them are sent down, the border army has cut most of it, these military salaries, enough to maintain, as for the military salary of the Jiangning battalion, it still relies on the mutual market to maintain, but it is already a little difficult.

Su Tiancheng's current task is to set up a dock in Weihaiwei immediately, use this dock, break the imperial court's sea ban, and earn a large amount of silver taels to maintain the huge expenses that are about to come.

The recruitment of sergeants in the Jiangning battalion has been prepared, and it will be rolled out in December. The requirements for recruiting sergeants this time are very strict, and the number of recruits is 15,000 people, and these people are the sailors that Su Tiancheng is preparing to build.

Information about the post-gold is also being received one after another. But it is not very detailed, through this information, Su Tiancheng also analyzed that Huang Taiji seems to have the meaning of temporarily stabilizing Houjin.

When Qu Qingze entered the wing, he kept stomping his feet.

"My lord, Ningyuan's climate is too cold, Xia Guan really didn't expect it."

"Lao Qu, I'm strange, when you were in the capital before. Isn't it the same climate, at that time, why didn't you feel cold? ”

"It's not that I don't feel that I have been following adults for so many years, and I have been away from the capital for a long time, and now that I have come to Liaodong, all of a sudden, I am a little uncomfortable."

Qu Qingze said as he took out the letter from his arms.

Su Tiancheng lowered his head and began to look at the letter. Qu Qingze sat on a chair to roast the fire, and the temperature in the wing room was much higher.

After the onset of winter. Su Tiancheng rarely works in the lobby, he is cold, he is looking for guilt, he moved to the wing, and generally if there is anything, he goes directly to the wing.

This time I came with information. It's all about the dynamics of Houjin, and the situation has been better recently, Huang Zaisheng's business has gradually become bigger, and he has a small status in Shenyang, and he has secretly developed some personnel. specializes in collecting intelligence, of course, Huang Zaisheng can earn money, mainly relying on the benefits obtained in the mutual market, these situations, Huang Zaisheng himself knows well, and he is also dedicated to collecting intelligence.

Looking at it, Su Tiancheng's face changed, and Qu Qingze also found out that the information this time had just been received, and Qu Qingze hadn't had time to see it, as long as Su Tiancheng was in Ningyuan, he usually sent it directly, if Su Tiancheng was not in the Governor's Mansion, he needed to take a look first, there was more urgent information, and find a way to send it to Su Tiancheng's hands.

Half an hour later, Su Tiancheng finally spoke.

"Lao Qu, this time the intelligence is very rich, a few things happened in Houjin, you listen, Dai Shan led 20,000 soldiers with the red flag, went to North Korea to garrison, the sergeant with the red flag, because the flag owner Yue Tuo was captured and killed by my Ming Dynasty, directly under the command of Dai Shan, but after Dai Shan went to North Korea, Niu Lu with the red flag, temporarily returned to the emperor Taiji moderation, stationed in North Korea Duoduo, returned to Shenyang, Duoduo is the flag owner with a white flag, naturally returned to Shenyang with many sergeants, Dolgon led the white flag sergeant, stationed in Montenegro, But the place where it is stationed, there are still more than 40 miles away from Montenegro, and the current garrison in Montenegro is still dominated by the Han army, but these Han troops are also directly under the control of Dolgon, Azig went to Haizhou, commanded the Han army under Shang Kexi, and also left Shenyang, interestingly, Huang Taiji formed the water division of the Great Qing Dynasty, do you know who formed and trained the water division of Lu Dao, it is Ye Bushu, the son of Huang Taiji, Ye Bushu is only thirteen years old, how can it be possible to form and train the water division, of course, there is Shang Kexi to assist in training, The situation may be better. ”

"Fun, fun, so funny......"

Qu Qingze listened a little mysteriously, and he didn't expect Huang Taiji to make such a big adjustment.

"Lao Qu, what do you think?"

"My lord, this change is too big, and the lower officials can't react, they really don't have any ideas."

Su Tiancheng smiled slightly, stood up, and paced in the wing.

"Lao Qu, let me analyze it first, and see if it makes sense."

"Dolgon, Daishan, Azig, including Duoduo, are the most courageous generals around Huang Taiji, except for Azig, the other three are all heavily armed, except for Duoduo, the remaining three were all in Shenyang before, and now, all three of them have left Shenyang, Daishan went to Korea, Dolgon went to Montenegro, Azig went to Haizhou, but Duoduo returned to Shenyang, such a change is not too big."

"Dolgon is the owner of the white flag, Dai Shan is the owner of the red flag and the red flag, and Duoduo is the owner of the white flag, the three of them can't be together, which shows that Huang Taiji may have noticed that the flag master who controls the army can't be together all the time, lest they have any connection with each other."

"Azig commanded the Han army under Shang Kexi, this is a situation that has never occurred, the Eight Banners Army looks down on the Han army, Azig looks down on the Han army even more, let Azig lead the Han army, what kind of situation do you say, if it were me, I would not make such an arrangement."

"Ye Bushu is responsible for forming and training the sailor, it is even more ridiculous, the thirteen-year-old doll, no matter how big the ability is, it also needs to be sharpened, the formation and training of the sailor, the task is extraordinary, not just anyone can do it, ask Shang Kexi to assist, hand over the army in Shang Kexi's hands to Azig jurisdiction, and it is also thanks to Huang Taiji that he can come up with such a method, and both sides are under control."

"Look at the key people left in Shenyang, first of all, Jierharang, Zierharang is the owner of the blue flag, he and Huang Taiji are cousins, but Jierharang's identity is very special, his father died in the hands of Nurhachi, his brother Amin was imprisoned by Huang Taiji, only Jierharang, loyal to Huang Taiji, got the trust of Huang Taiji, followed by Haoge, Haoge is the banner owner of the blue flag, is the son of Huang Taiji, guarding in Shenyang, this is very normal, the most reluctant is Duoduo, Duoduo returned to Shenyang, It doesn't seem like everyone is happy. ”

After saying this, Su Tiancheng asked with a smile.

"Lao Qu, I've said so much, have you found anything strange?"

Qu Qingze shook his head.

"The adult has already made an analysis, and the lower official thinks it makes sense, and the rest can't think of anything."

Su Tiancheng's expression became serious.

"If my prediction is good, Huang Taiji will start to lay out, why is it so laid out, because he is beginning to be afraid of those princes and county kings below, the power can't be too big, and it can't be so big as to threaten the imperial power."

"Huang Taiji established the Great Qing Dynasty and became the emperor himself, his ideas may not necessarily change fundamentally, but by his side, there are Han people like Fan Wencheng as ministers and strategists, and he can't help but change his ideas, over time, Huang Taiji needs to maintain imperial power, and he is easy to have some major problems from the small things in his daily life, in this case, he must start to lay out and maintain his prestige."

"Today's border pass, has entered a relatively quiet stage, it is estimated that two to three years or so, there will be no large-scale battles and fights, at this time, Huang Taiji will free his hands, began to rectify the interior, so there will be these dazzling changes, the most important thing is that Huang Taiji temporarily commanded the red flag, which is equivalent to depriving the position of the owner of the Daishan flag, the prince of Houjin, can only lead one flag, and the bias of Daishan to lead two flags, is it possible for Huang Taiji to rest assured, Moreover, Dai Shan used to be one of the four major Baylors, and he was in charge of the government together with Huang Taiji. ”

"In this way, Huang Taiji is in charge of the positive yellow flag, the inlaid yellow flag, and the inlaid red flag, including the positive blue flag led by Haoge, a total of four flags, plus the newly formed sailor, it can be said that no one can shake the status of Huang Taiji in Houjin."

"This reflects Huang Taiji's wisdom, to stabilize his position and rule, but Huang Taiji ignored the most important thing, that is, people's hearts, he should take into account that Dai Shan and Dolgon are very uncomfortable, and even have a huge resentment, unless Huang Taiji asks Dai Shan and Dolgon and others to commit suicide before he dies, otherwise this is a huge hidden danger left by him."

"The situation of Houjin is different from the situation of my Ming Dynasty, they are military generals who lead the government, these military generals, mainly use force to distinguish their respective status, unless Huang Taiji in the remaining time, Confucianism, improve the status of Wenchen, otherwise his approach, will eventually be exposed to big trouble."

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng's methodical analysis made him extremely impressed, through intelligence, he was able to make such an analysis, just ask who in the Ming Dynasty can do it, it seems that Su Tiancheng may make adjustments to the future deployment of the border pass.
