Chapter 748: An Ominous Premonition

In early April, Zodiac Zhou came to Dengzhou.

Huang Daozhou's request was quickly agreed by the emperor, Chen Xinjia had rushed to Liaodong to take office, what is the current situation, Zhu Youzhen is still a little worried, this time Chen Xinjia was appointed as the governor of Liaodong, with the idea of weakening Su Tiancheng's power, but more importantly, Zhu Youzhen himself has other ideas, Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng analyzed Chen Xinjia's characteristics of great joy, but they forgot Zhu Youzhen.

When he ascended the throne, Zhu Youzhen was ambitious, and he wanted to save the Ming Dynasty from fire and water, be a wise man through the ages, and be admired by future generations, but this kind of thinking was ruthlessly hit by reality, just when Zhu Youzhen was a little desperate, Su Tiancheng appeared, and in Zhu Youzhen's heart, he thought that this was an opportunity given to him by God.

After the Liukou was exterminated, Zhu Youzhen thought about going all out and destroying Houjin, but unfortunately the opportunity was indeed immature, the Liukou had rebelled for many years, and the Ming Dynasty was already riddled with holes, weak, and could not afford the huge expenses, plus Sun Chengzong served as the first assistant of the cabinet, and often analyzed the situation, pointing out that now we should recuperate, enhance national strength, let the people live a good life, and comprehensively crusade against Houjin, we still need to wait for time and opportunities.

After Su Tiancheng went to Dengzhou to form a water division, Zhu Youzhen believed that the conditions were basically met, the situation in Liaodong, the Ming army had the upper hand, controlled Dalinghe City, and forced the Houjin Tartars to Montenegro and Guangning, Datong and Yulin, guarded by border troops and Yulin battalions, and Jiangning battalions in Ningxia, and the Xibe tribes and Daouri tribes completely surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, becoming a solid barrier for the Ming border pass.

In this case. After the Ming Dynasty attacked, the timing of Jin slowly began to mature.

Chen Xinjia went to Liaodong to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, of course, the attack was slow, and it was impossible to launch a full-scale attack first. It is necessary to seize the moment, do a good job of testing, see how the situation is, and then decide whether to really let go of the attack.

Zhu Youzhen not only wanted to exterminate the Houjin, but also to make all the tribes of Mongolia submit, in this case, he would become the greatest emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It will also be greatly expanded.

Zhu Youzhen didn't tell anyone about this idea, including Yang Sichang, who didn't know that after Chen Xinjia arrived in Liaodong, he had to grasp the situation in Liaodong in a short period of time, report the situation in Liaodong in the form of a secret fold, and make an accurate analysis. In this case, the offensive can be launched.

In such cases. Huang Daozhou asked to go to Dengzhou for something, of course Zhu Youzhen knew.

Zhu Youzhen also has to rely on Su Tiancheng, in case there is an unpredictable situation in Liaodong, it is Su Tiancheng who will finally clean up the mess. Of course, Zhu Youzhen did not believe that such a situation would occur.

Zodiac Zhou came to Dengzhou, and Su Tiancheng personally greeted him.

Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou are both great Confucians, and their fame is very great, but after so many years. Su Tiancheng felt that under the current situation, the role of Confucianism is necessary, but the role of Confucianism is not decisive, the influence of these Confucianism is great, as the imperial court, we must take care of these Confucianism, use their influence to build momentum, and ask them to shout for the court, but unfortunately the situation of the Ming Dynasty is somewhat special, some so-called Confucianism, such as Qian Qianyi and others, through the identity of Confucianism, organized their own power group, Donglin Academy and Fushe, is the best proof of Confucianism

At its peak, Donglin Academy and Fushe were even able to determine the policies of the imperial court.

This is a very abnormal thing, a group formed for academic purposes, originally engaged in academic research, for the development of the Ming Dynasty, to provide good opinions and suggestions, but unfortunately the situation has changed later, the society composed of scholars, always uphold the idea of learning and excellence, after a long time, I want to enter the imperial court, thinking about directly showing my ambitions.

Su Tiancheng is clear about these situations, so after the crossing, he tried his best to suppress Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, so far, the Restoration Society basically does not exist, Zhang Pu has become Su Tiancheng's ironcore, and almost automatically disbanded the Restoration Society, but the influence of the Donglin Academy still exists, and it has a very strong foundation in the south.

After Liu Zongzhou entered the cabinet, he played a great role, especially in assisting Sun Chengzong to rectify the atmosphere of the imperial court, which played a great role, but the defects were also shown, Liu Zongzhou was a little bookish and lacked flexibility, maybe this is something that scholars are proud of, but as a politician, what is important is the result.

Su Tiancheng wants to be a politician, not a Confucian.

Huang Daozhou was very satisfied, and was very satisfied with Su Tiancheng's humble attitude.

The scholar's anger was revealed at this time, Huang Daozhou had a smile on his face, and when he watched the situation of Dengzhou City, his mouth let out exclamations again and again, he didn't expect that Dengzhou City, which was completely destroyed by the Houjin Tartar, was so prosperous and built so fast in less than a year, and Huang Daozhou was convinced.

Entering the Governor's Mansion, the banquet was already ready.

Su Tiancheng used the form of a family banquet to entertain Zodiac Zhou, which made Zodiac Zhou even more happy.

After a full meal, the two came to the wing.

"Lord Huang came to Dengzhou to inspect on behalf of the imperial court, and the official is grateful."

After Sun Chengzong's death, Su Tiancheng's views have changed, after a long time, in his heart, the recognition of the elders, only Sun Chengzong was left, Su Tiancheng will never forget Sun Chengzong's conduct and care, with the improvement of his own status, Su Tiancheng also knows that between the elders and the younger generations and teachers and students, most of the time, is a relationship of interest.

When facing Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou, Su Tiancheng will not consider himself a junior.

I don't know if Lu Dao Zodiac Zhou took this change for granted, but he didn't show any discomfort anyway.

"Lord Su, this time I came to Dengzhou, mainly to come and see, Dengzhou has undergone such a huge change, I am very emotional, Lord Su's ability is really extraordinary, I think when I was in Jiangning County, it seems to be yesterday."

Huang Daozhou recalled the past in Jiangning County, but Su Tiancheng didn't think of the affairs of Jiangning County, he was concerned about the purpose of Huang Daozhou's visit to Dengzhou, since it was appointed by the imperial court to inspect, it must have a purpose, it will not be so simple.

After chatting about Jiangning County for a while, Huang Daozhou quickly changed the topic and mentioned the purpose of coming to Dengzhou this time.

"Master Su, this time I came to Dengzhou, I still want to talk about Liaodong."

Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face, Huang Daozhou came to Dengzhou, and he had already guessed the purpose of doing work, and from the character of Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou, I am afraid that Huang Daozhou took the initiative to apply for coming to Dengzhou this time.

"Lord Su is currently busy in Dengzhou, and the emperor thought that I am afraid that the affairs of Liaodong will not be taken care of for a while, so he sent Lord Chen Xinjia to Liaodong, but the holy decree is also very clear, Lord Chen Xinjia is also assisting Lord Su and governing Liaodong."

Huang Daozhou said this, which made Su Tiancheng a little funny, this kind of officialdom is completely unnecessary to say, after all, the relationship between the two is different, and there is no need to say these clichés.

"Lord Huang, the imperial court asked Lord Chen to go to Liaodong, I completely agree, now my main energy is also in Dengzhou, I have no time to take care of the affairs of Liaodong, Lord Chen to Liaodong, I can just be busy with the affairs of Dengzhou, I can't ask for it." Besides, Lord Huang specifically talked about this matter, even if I had an opinion, what thoughts I had in my heart would disappear. ”

Huang Daozhou was a little stunned, full of enthusiasm, came to Dengzhou to do work, he didn't expect Su Tiancheng's attitude to be so resolute, and he didn't have any opinions at all.

Huang Daozhou and Liu Zongzhou are both great Confucians, although their knowledge is not ordinary, but their ideas are still relatively simple, and they didn't think that Su Tiancheng's words were there, and they thought that Su Tiancheng completely agreed with the decision of the imperial court.

Seeing that Su Tiancheng's attitude was so refreshing, and he attached great importance to his arrival, Huang Daozhou quickly thought of the next topic, that is, about the situation in Liaodong.

"Lord Su, I am not very familiar with the situation in Liaodong, but I have some feelings, before coming to Dengzhou, Lord Liu and I discussed it, and I wanted to talk to Lord Su to see what Lord Su thinks."

Su Tiancheng nodded and did not speak.

"The situation in Liaodong is stable, and our Ming army has already taken the advantage, in this case, can we launch an attack and test the reaction of the Houjin Tartars......"

Huang Daozhou was still talking about it, Su Tiancheng's heart had already appeared huge waves, this kind of thought, he was faintly aware of it, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou would have such thoughts, he often wrote to the two of them, informing them of the situation in Liaodong, explaining the reasons why the situation in Liaodong must be stabilized.

From Huang Daozhou's words, Su Tiancheng felt that Chen Xinjia went to Liaodong, I am afraid it is not so simple, not only because his power is too great, but also because his determination to stabilize Liaodong cannot be shaken.

If such a situation occurs, the situation in Liaodong will change dramatically, Huang Taiji's courage and wisdom, Su Tiancheng has a personal experience, he can't believe that Chen Xinjia has the ability to defeat Huang Taiji, and it is good to be able to defeat without being defeated.

This must be the emperor's idea, Su Tiancheng felt a little sad, Sun Chengzong has not been dead for a long time, the emperor's mind has changed so quickly, everyone thinks about it once and for all, but it is by no means as simple as imagined, to do it once and for all, without enough confidence and strength, it is impossible.
