Although it was said that the Yamen of Fuzhou County reported that the situation of the displaced people had been properly resolved, Su Tiancheng was still a little uneasy, and asked Liu Jingting to go to Hanzhong Mansion and Yan'an to take a look, and the situation that Liu Jingting saw was good, at least the displaced people had been temporarily resettled, and the government had given relief, and there was no situation of starving to death.

It's already very good to do this, and after hearing Liu Jingting's report, Su Tiancheng was a lot more relieved.

To say that Su Tiancheng, the governor, on the surface, I am afraid that he is the most relaxed one among all the governors, he rarely asks about specific things, always grasps the general direction, specific things, and let the people below do it, and his advice to many prefects is also like this, don't be completely immersed in specific things, you should pay more attention to the big things around you, the so-called big things, that is, the living conditions of the people, whether the officials are serious about doing things, and so on.

But it's not hard, only Su Tiancheng knows the way, he feels that he is afraid that he is more difficult than all the governors, because the goal is different, other governors, as long as they follow the requirements of the imperial court, can act in government affairs, but they can't do it themselves, every place they go, they have to care about the lives of the people, if the people are too poor, they have to find a way to solve the problem, and because the times are different, he pays special attention to the affairs of the army, without a strong army, nothing can be saved.

Deep down, Su Tiancheng still has an idea, that is, to change the understanding of officials.

This is a very sensitive matter, it is easy not to dare to bring it up, for thousands of years, officials are responsible for the top, to put it bluntly, they are responsible for the emperor, everything looks at the top, if the superiors are not satisfied with you, it is useless to do anything, you will still lose your position. Even if he lost his life, Su Tiancheng's thoughts were a little different, the officials should be responsible for the above, and the order should be forbidden, which is necessary, but the officials should be more responsible for the below. It is to be responsible for the people.

This is similar to the understanding of building a family, everyone wants their family to be prosperous and rich, and for the sake of the family, he is willing to make contributions, that is because he knows that he must be responsible for his family, in fact, it is the same as being an official, you must be responsible for the people in the jurisdiction, since you are a parent official. It is the responsibility and obligation to let the people live a good life.

In the Ming Dynasty in the world, everything belongs to the royal family, this understanding, easy not to bring it up, if it is publicized, people really think that you are going to rebel.

However, Su Tiancheng knew that when the opportunity was ripe, he would promote such an understanding. This is the only way to let the common people evaluate the officials. Even to a certain extent, the career of officials has been decided, and I am afraid that officials at all levels will be able to truly realize from the depths of their minds that they must do things for the people.

The situation in Shaanxi is a little more stable, and Su Tiancheng thought of his statement.

The rogues fled to Sichuan. According to the situation obtained from the dark line, the development of the Liukou is very good, and Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, does have the ability, not only to integrate many leaders of the Liukou very well, but also to formulate strict discipline. In Sichuan's Long'an Mansion, Baoning Mansion, Kuizhou Mansion and Tongchuan Prefecture, it has developed in full swing.

Qin Liangyu, the chief military officer of Sichuan, led the army to encircle and suppress many times, but after the integration of the Liukou, the combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced, and won the support of many people, the Ming Dynasty army suffered several defeats, for which the governor of the four provinces, Lu Shanji, also encountered the reprimand of the imperial court, and also gathered the army to carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression, but there was no effect.

According to the report of the dark line, the number of rogues has exceeded 100,000 again, and most of these sergeants have experienced battles, and they are far from the combat effectiveness they had when they were in Shaanxi.

The actual situation in Sichuan is that the officers and troops are unable to completely exterminate the Liukou, and a situation of confrontation has been formed with the Liukou, and sporadic battles have occurred from time to time.

The dark line lurking inside the Liukou, the analysis of the situation is that Li Zicheng is very cautious, has been gathering strength, to a certain time, they are very likely to start a large-scale offensive in Sichuan, and even directly occupy Chongqing Mansion, and the imperial court, Sichuan has always been known as the country of abundance, the terrain here is complex, the Three Kingdoms period, Shu relied on the terrain here, continued for many years, and almost achieved hegemony, Li Bai's "Shu Road Difficulty" shows that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack here: the difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

Almost a year has passed, and if the Liukou are allowed to develop in Sichuan, once the climate is really formed, it will be the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty.

Su Tiancheng's attention slowly turned to Liukou, there was no major war in the north for the time being, Sun Chengzong served as the first assistant of the cabinet, the first thing was to strengthen the military deployment in the north, in terms of allocating military salaries, to Shanhaiguan and Datong, and after Jin learned that Sun Chengzong was appointed as the first assistant of the cabinet and strengthened the Shanning Jin defense line, he also became a lot more honest, and the Manchurian Eight Banners, which were often dispatched before, have not seen a trace for a long time.

As for the area of Yulin and Ningxia, the Eight Banners of Manchuria dare not set foot in it, there are Jiangning battalions and the new army of the Ming Dynasty, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

Sun Chengzong wrote three letters, euphemistically mentioning two things, the first thing is about the extermination of the Liukou, Yan Lu Shanji and Qin Liangyu and others, feel very difficult, the situation in Sichuan, slowly becoming unstable, is likely to become the second Shaanxi, the second thing said to the north of the Houjin, although the Houjin did not attack for a while, but they stepped up the construction in the area of Jinzhou Ningyuan, the Ming Dynasty in the Shanning Jin area, that is, controlled several isolated cities, most of the rest of the land, were actually controlled by the Houjin, Especially after the loss of the port of Arthur, the Ming Dynasty was greatly restricted and had no ability to expand, and it was very good to be able to hold a few strongholds in Shanningjin.

The border army in the Shanhaiguan area, the actual combat effectiveness, is indeed not as good as the Manchurian Eight Banners, this is the actual situation, in the north area, there is a saying: Jurchen is not more than 10,000, Manchurian invincible, Jurchen is also referring to the Later Jin Manchurian Eight Banners. If the border army and the Manchurian Eight Banners launched a field battle, the probability of defeat is more than ninety percent, for many years, the Ming Dynasty relied on the advantage of numbers, and defended the city to be able to resist the attack of the Manchurian Eight Banners.

Su Tiancheng knew that Sun Chengzong was starting to get anxious.

He also knew that he wanted to completely build Shaanxi and take his time to exterminate the Liukou, this possibility is not there, Sun Chengzong can't wait, the emperor can't wait, Shaanxi has assembled a new army, showing combat effectiveness, Ningxia, Yulin and other border areas, there is not much worry, at this time, the Jiangning battalion continues to guard in Shaanxi, it seems to be a little redundant.

Besides, after exterminating the Liukou, the Jiangning Battalion has a more important task, that is, to directly face the Manchurian Eight Banners and start to fight hard, if it can't exterminate the Manchurian Eight Banners and defeat the Houjin regime, the Jiangning Battalion won't be able to live in peace.

In his letter, Sun Chengzong revealed a very important information.

The emperor is ready to look for a candidate for the Jiliao Governor, and this candidate is likely to be Su Tiancheng.

This is actually the emperor's attitude, thinking that the Jiangning battalion can exterminate the rogues entrenched in Sichuan this morning, and then go to Liaodong.

Jiliao Governor is not just anyone who can be the governor, the person in charge of Liaodong affairs is generally Liaodong Jingluo, and the emperor will not easily appoint Jiliao Governor. The Shangshu of the six departments, or the imperial envoys of the left and right, accepted the dispatch of the imperial court to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation, and was appointed as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, and the cabinet assistants, and sent to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation, can be appointed as the Jiliao Governor.

The authority of the two is also different, although they are both to fight against the Houjin and defend the city of Beijing.

The Liaodong Economic Strategy is mainly for the war in Liaodong, and the troops in Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou can be mobilized, and the troops of some guards in the north can be mobilized at critical moments. The full name of the Jiliao Governor is the military defense of the Jizhou, Liaodong, Tianjin, Dengzhou, and Laizhou regions, and its tentacles extend to Beizhili and Shandong, and its power is much greater.

When the Jiliao Governor took office, he held the Shang Fang sword, which was an ironclad rule, and the Liaodong strategy was not necessarily, and under special circumstances, the emperor would give Shang Fang the sword.

Sun Chengzong's revelation of such news in his letter is by no means ordinary.

According to Su Tiancheng's qualifications, no one believes that he can be the governor of Jiliao, but in terms of employing people, the emperor is still willing to give official positions to people he trusts, whether you are very old or young.

The emperor has such a thought, which shows that his inner thoughts are already very eager.

The Ming Dynasty is finally slowly getting rid of the embarrassing situation of the previous years, and there has been some improvement, at this time, the ambition in the emperor's heart must have begun to swell at a high level, and it has become a top priority to exterminate the Liukou, and then destroy the Houjin.

Su Tiancheng could not stand up to it and continue to ignore the suggestions of the emperor and Sun Chengzong on the grounds that Shaanxi needed several years of construction.

To know that Zhu Youzhen in this regard, really suffered a loss, when he particularly trusted Yuan Chonghuan, directly appointed Yuan Chonghuan as the Jiliao Governor, as a result, Mao Wenlong was killed, Manchuria Eight Banners drove straight in, attacked the city of Beijing, the Ming Dynasty almost collapsed, Yuan Chonghuan at that time, patted his chest and thought Zhu Youzhen assured, how many years to destroy the Houjin, the result is the opposite, the Houjin is getting stronger and stronger, and the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more vulnerable.

Su Tiancheng also patted his chest in the imperial court, although he did not mention the matter of exterminating Houjin, but the matter of exterminating the Liukou was guaranteed, although there is still a year to go, but now that Shaanxi has stabilized, he can't find a reason to delay.

Su Tiancheng was a little distressed, and continued to give him some time, he could guarantee that Shaanxi would be built better, and the Jiangning battalion would be more brave and good at fighting, and for such a long time, he secretly ordered the Jiangning battalion to enter the Hetao area from the area of Anning Fort and Jingbian, train troops in the vast grassland and desert, and train the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, and achieved remarkable results.

It's a pity that he probably doesn't have much time left. (To be continued......)
