After leaving the capital, Su Tiancheng rushed to Ningyuan as quickly as possible, there are a lot of things that need him to arrange, how to make proper arrangements for Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Jinzhou and Dalinghe City, stabilize Liaodong, including Datong and Ningxia and other places, this is a problem that must be faced, Huang Taiji put forward the idea of shaking hands and making peace, there is a deep conspiracy in it, Daming After so many years of fighting, he must be thinking about being stable, not to mention the emperor, I am afraid that there are many ministers in the court, is also the same view, years of fighting, the Ming Dynasty was overwhelmed, the common people have reached the limit of bearing, if it continues like this, maybe the climax of rebellion will break out again.

If there is a lax attitude in the court, let alone be able to have high morale, if there is laxity up and down, there will inevitably be loopholes in armaments, a few years ago, such a lesson is very profound, the army of the Ming Guard, is no longer considered an army, and it is vulnerable.

Su Tiancheng admired Huang Taiji more and more, and sometimes, he even thought about what kind of ending it would be if a figure like Huang Taiji served as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but this is also the assumption that in the early days of the founding of the country, the monarchs were wise and wise, but after developing later, they could not escape the fate of decay.

It's been a week since I returned to Ningyuan, and seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, the adjustments made by Su Tiancheng are also being implemented one by one, the most important thing is the deployment of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City.

No matter how it is arranged, it will eventually be involved. Or the adjustment of personnel.

The officers and men of the Jiangning battalion are relatively easy to arrange, and the key is the border army, especially the generals of the border army.

Master Sun Chengzong has passed away, whether there will be changes in the court, Su Tiancheng is not sure. Under such circumstances, he must strengthen his control over the border army, and although such a long time has passed, some of the bad habits of the border army have not been completely corrected, and the ruffians and tyrants still exist.

When Qu Qingze entered the wing, Su Tiancheng was already waiting.

"Lao Qu, how is the investigation of the border army, let's talk about it."

Qu Qingze's face was depressed.

"Your Excellency. The lower officials have done a long investigation, and the situation of the border troops in Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and Dalinghe City is different, and the best situation is the border army stationed in Dalinghe City, and the worst is the border army in Shanhaiguan. ”

"The first is confusion. The vast majority of the officers in the border army were hereditary. There are even some officers who have never been on the battlefield to fight, and always hide behind to command, and they have a variety of ideas, but there are not many who really want to protect their families and defend the country. ”

"The second is the corruption of military discipline and the bullying of the people at will. It happens from time to time, especially for the Han people who come back from Liaodong, they are not fake, they beat and scold at will, and even loot money. ”

"The third is the lack of military appearance. The border troops stationed in Dalinghe City, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, because of the drive of the Jiangning battalion, strengthened training every day, and the situation was much better, but the border troops stationed in Shanhaiguan were still the same. ”

Su Tiancheng frowned, when Qu Qingze spoke, his tone was very soft, but the problems in this must be serious, the three aspects that Qu Qingze said are very fatal, after he came to Liaodong, he focused on the problem of the reduction of the border army, and he had not had time to rectify the military appearance and discipline, and now he was leaving Liaodong and going to Dengzhou to develop, and this problem has become an urgent matter.

"Lao Qu, what should I do with your opinion."

"Xiaguan thinks that it must be thoroughly rectified, otherwise it will be difficult for Liaodong to be peaceful, after the attack on Montenegro, there is basically no war, the border army will seem to be lax, problems and problems have come out, if you connive at these problems, I am afraid it will cause big problems, Xiaguan's meaning, kill a hundred examples."

Su Tiancheng nodded in agreement.

"Okay, according to the results of your investigation, for those officers who don't obey the command and do whatever they want, kill a group of them, so that they can deter others, this matter will be implemented before the Spring Festival, no matter what the identity of these officers is, and no matter how powerful the family behind him is, if you meet an illiterate family, you will be killed by the family."

With Su Tiancheng's attitude, Qu Qingze has nothing to worry about, just carry it out.

Just as Qu Qingze was about to leave the wing, Su Tiancheng spoke again.

"Lao Qu, this matter, be a little more cautious, don't spread too much, focus on those hopeless officers, after drawing up the list, quickly take measures to control these people, as for which ones should be killed and which ones should be punished, we still need to discuss."

"Xia Guan Zhilu said."

After Qu Qingze left, Xu Eryi came over quickly.

"Lord Xu, I have worked hard for you in many matters of the Governor's Mansion."

"My lord, this is the duty of the lower officials."

"Lord Xu is my teacher, I speak very directly, after the Spring Festival, I may leave Liaodong and rush to Dengzhou, I may stay in Dengzhou, pay attention to the construction of the water division, Liaodong affairs, I will get rid of Lord Xu."

Xu Eryi was a little surprised, Su Tiancheng is the governor of Jiliao, it is said that he should focus on Liaodong, if he stays in Dengzhou for a long time, will he be criticized.

"My lord, such an arrangement, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, the focus of my Daming defense, or in Liaodong, although Houjin has a warship, but the formation of a sailor, is not a matter that can be effective in a short time, send people to Dengzhou and Laizhou to supervise, adults are completely unnecessary, stationed in Dengzhou, Liaodong here, can't do without adults."

"Lord Xu, this matter, I have decided, just now I discussed with Lord Qu, the border army stationed in Liaodong, there are some problems in military discipline, before the Spring Festival, I am ready to carry out a comprehensive rectification of those officers who corrupt military discipline, my border pass of the Ming Dynasty, not only Liaodong, but also Datong, Ningxia, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Tianjin and other places, such a huge place, just by me to command, it is still a little unbearable, I am afraid it will be more troublesome Lord Xu."

"Since the adults have decided, the lower officials don't have much to say, Dengzhou and Laizhou, after the slaughter of Houjin, it really takes a lot of effort to rectify, it's good for the adults to go over there, the situation in Liaodong is stable for the time being, the lower officials have heard about it, Huang Taiji is ready to shake hands and make peace, I don't know if there is such a thing in Lu Dao."

"There is indeed this matter, I don't know what Lord Lu Dao Xu thinks."

"To tell the truth, if you don't come to Liaodong and are still in the imperial court, the lower officials may agree with the handshake in their hearts, at least don't continue to fight, but during this time in Liaodong, the lower officials have seen a lot of things and understand that the thoughts of the Later Jin Emperor Taiji are not so simple, so this handshake and peace matter, the lower officials do not agree."

"Lord Xu, can you predict what kind of attitude the court will have?"

"If the lower officials expect it to be good, this proposal will not be supported in the initial stage, and the civil and military ministers in the court will unanimously oppose hunger, but after a long time, it may be, at most half a year, the attitude in the court will change greatly."

Su Tiancheng's heart chuckled, he also had such thoughts.

"Lord Xu thinks that if the imperial court agrees to shake hands with Houjin and make peace, will Liaodong be affected?"

Xu Eryi's expression became a little solemn.

"My lord, the lower officials oppose the peace, it is to see the situation in Liaodong and the border pass, if the imperial court agrees to make peace, Liaodong and the border pass, it will definitely be affected, the next step of the peace is to mean the mutual market, if the emperor Taiji does not have so many thoughts, this peace is better to say, but since the emperor Taiji has established the Great Qing Dynasty, if he does not realize his ambitions, he will definitely not give up, the two sides will make peace, once the defense of the border pass is relaxed, it is not so easy to strengthen it again."

"Lord Xu's meaning, if you want to make peace, you can do it, but Houjin must make a promise, and the imperial court cannot relax the defense of Liaodong and the border pass."

Qu Qingze shook his head.

"Xiaguan doesn't mean this, what Xiaguan thinks of, is mainly to exterminate Houjin, this goal is currently unattainable, but this goal can not be relaxed, and it must not be relaxed because Huang Taiji asked for peace, so he relaxed his attention to Liaodong and the border pass, then he really fell into Huang Taiji's tricks, but unfortunately there are not many people who can see through the powerful relationship here, and there are not many people in the court who really know the situation in the border pass."

Speaking of this, Qu Qingze sighed.

"The death of Mr. Sun is really a huge loss for my Ming Dynasty, Mr. Sun is familiar with the situation in Liaodong, and knows the situation at the border pass of Ludao Road, if the old man is still there, he will definitely insist on strengthening the defense of Liaodong and the border pass, and the emperor can also pay attention to it all the time, but unfortunately the old man went west."

After Xu Eryi left, Su Tiancheng fell into contemplation, Huang Taiji wrote a letter asking for a handshake and peace, it will definitely be spread soon, such a thing, to earn enough face for the Ming court, must have been specially revealed, showing that the Ming Dynasty is strong, and Houjin begged for mercy, in fact, this is not the case at all, Xu Eryi said very pertinently, in the court, I am afraid that there are many people who want to make peace and enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life, they may not necessarily start from the future of the Ming Dynasty, and can live the current life in peaceand everything will be fine.
