Chapter 988: Make a Decision Immediately

(Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish readers a happy Chinese New Year's Eve, family reunion, happy reunion, happy New Year's dinner, thank readers for their great support, thank you Navy Bell, ruling * garbage for voting valuable monthly tickets, thank you for not choosing the left or right to take the middle route, thank you.) )

As soon as Su Tiancheng returned to Dengzhou, he saw Zhu Xianxuan's secret letter.

He never imagined that the emperor was so anxious, and the overall situation had not yet been decided, so he thought about letting himself return to the capital, gave up the Jiangning camp, and lost the support of the army, Su Tiancheng knew very well that his ending was not much better, Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli period, so strong, it can be said that he educated the Wanli Emperor since he was a child, and it seems that the relationship with the Queen Mother is not ordinary, but after a life, the ending is also very tragic, and the whole family is implicated.

There are too many such things in the Ming Dynasty, including Yu Qian, who turned the tide, in the battle of Tumubao, Yingzong was captured by Wara first, and he first thought about holding Yingzong hostage and capturing the capital of the Ming Dynasty, but Yu Qian led the old, weak, sick and disabled to defend the capital and avoid the fall of the Ming Dynasty, but because of the restoration of Yingzong, he was liquidated.

These lessons are very practical and relevant.

Su Tiancheng was very angry, he really felt that Huang Taiji was much wiser than Zhu Youzhen, it is no wonder that in history, the Qing Dynasty was able to defeat the Ming Dynasty and replace the Ming Dynasty. Eliminate all hidden dangers.

After more than ten years, Su Tiancheng has done a lot of things, he has a kind of foolish and loyal thinking, and maintains the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, because he was a civil servant in his previous life, and obeying the leader has become a habit in his bones. Therefore, after crossing over, he never thought of becoming an emperor or taking over the Zhu family, but the development of reality seemed to push him on a road to become a self-reliant king, and he was pushed onto a road that had to be conquered.

Continue to be loyal to the emperor, and the final outcome can be analyzed now, once you return to the capital. will be cut off from military power soon, and it will be impossible to continue to command the Jiangning battalion, and if it is in the capital, even if it is supported by the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, it will not have much effect, and the commander and the soldiers will be separated, and they can think of many ways to dismember the Jiangning battalion and do this kind of thing. I don't know how many masters there are in the court.

Under the current circumstances, it is also untenable to directly rebel. Not to mention whether it will be supported, at least in line with Huang Taiji's wishes, so that Huang Taiji has achieved his goal, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably weaken, maybe his hard work has passed, decades have passed. It's just that the Ming Dynasty survived for decades, and was finally overthrown by the Houjin Tartars.

Next, there is only one truth, yang and yin are violated, and the emperor's will and the imperial court's edict are selectively implemented. From now on, Su Tiancheng will not go to the capital, and will Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and other places as the base camp, in the next time, defeat the Houjin Tartars, completely exterminate the Houjin regime, and let the Ming Dynasty completely calm down, as for the contradiction between himself and Zhu Youzhen, that is the next thing to deal with.

Thinking of such a result, Su Tiancheng was very uncomfortable, the so-called people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, in today's situation, if he can't think of a good way to deal with it, he will fall down at that time, and there will be more than one person who will suffer.

When Qu Qingze entered the wing, he saw Su Tiancheng's face unusually serious.

Su Tiancheng directly handed Zhu Xianxuan's secret letter to Qu Qingze, and Qu Qingze quickly read it, without a surprised look on his face, and took out a stack of letters from his arms.

"My lord, this is the information collected by the lower officials in the capital, and part of the imperial history has been played to the emperor, asking the lord to return to the capital, their reason is that the cabinet ministers should not lead the army in person, and the lord should return to the capital, and the Houjin Tartar has already bowed down to the ministers, and the imperial court should also reduce the expenditure on military salaries."

"There is nothing strange, if those adults in the court are wise, my Ming Dynasty will not encounter so many twists and turns, I have considered, the big ship of the Ming Dynasty, full of holes, is about to sink, at this time, someone needs to guide the correct course, someone needs to repair the loopholes in time, even if it is a temporary maintenance, but unfortunately some people in the court, not only did not repair, but also continued to disassemble the planks, because these planks are very valuable, they can get temporary satisfaction, the ship is sinking, it doesn't matter, there is the next ship to ride, unfortunately, the emperor does not see this, but encourages some people to do such things. ”

"My lord, the lower officials think that it is not a great thing to rebuild a wooden ship."

When Qu Qingze said this, Su Tiancheng's body trembled and looked at Qu Qingze.

Qu Qingze was very serious, but he didn't have the slightest look of fear.

"Xiaguan has followed the adult for so many years, and indeed has a lot of feelings, I have seen too many things in Jinyiwei before, there are some things in the court, which cannot be changed, the adults work hard, wholeheartedly for the court, for the emperor, what can be exchanged for, the adult has never been proud of his achievements, the lower officials have known the Tao before, many general soldiers entrenched in the south, the court has not been able to mobilize, everyone is a soldier first, reach out to the court to ask for money and food, as for the war and conquest, you can hide, I didn't think of the imperial court at all, thinking of the Ming Dynasty, why did such a situation occur, some people in the court would not reflect, and they could not reflect, and some situations were caused by them. ”

"The prestige of the Jiangning battalion is not ordinary, and it is precisely because of the courage of the Jiangning battalion, obeying the arrangements of the imperial court, the troops of the guards in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the general soldiers of all places, so that the imperial court can be dispatched, this point, the emperor should be clear, judging from the current situation, the emperor is probably thinking that he will transfer the adults to the capital, and he will not be able to continue to command the Jiangning battalion, and then dismember the Jiangning battalion and send many people to lead the Jiangning battalion respectively."

"If such a situation occurs, Daming will soon fall into the wind and rain, and when the time comes, someone will really rebel, I am afraid that Daming will be finished in the shortest possible time."

"Xia Guan has analyzed so much information, including many situations of the Houjin Tartars, and has already felt that the Emperor Taiji will not surrender to my Ming Dynasty, the so-called negotiations, but to delay time, looking forward to a huge change in my Ming Dynasty, now it seems that the purpose of the Emperor Taiji has been achieved, and the Houjin Tartars are still eyeing the enemy, but the emperor is thinking about cleaning up the internal matters, and this practice of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is not self-destructive."

Qu Qingze said so fiercely, which was somewhat unexpected by Su Tiancheng.

After Qu Qingze finished speaking, Su Tiancheng was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.

"Lao Qu, you can say this, I thank you very much, there are some things, we have to do the worst, Huang Taiji will not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, you and I have a clear judgment on this point, I believe that in the imperial court, there are also people who have realized it, but this kind of thinking can not take the initiative, since this is the case, then we have to be prepared with both hands, I have considered, there are two things, you quickly arrange, you must do a good job."

"The first thing, from now on, whether it is the emperor's decree or the imperial court's edict, it may not be completely complied with, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, as well as Xuanzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou in Fujian, Taiwan and other places, subject to the imperial decree of the governor's office, do not have to fully comply with the holy decree and the imperial edict."

"The second thing, began to plan the attack on the Houjin Tartars, now it is April, after the autumn harvest, the Jiangning battalion began to attack the Houjin Tartars, no matter what kind of decision Huang Taiji makes, and no matter whether Huang Taiji is ready to do enough superficial articles, surrender to my Ming court, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, including the border army in Liaodong, the purpose is to exterminate the Manchu Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners, once the Houjin army is completely wiped out, the Huang Taiji will not have any chance."

"These two things are the focus, and the rest of the things will be put on the back for the time being."

Qu Qingze didn't say anything right away, Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze, a little strange.

Qu Qingze pondered for a moment and spoke.

"My lord, the lower officials think that there is one more thing that must be done well."

"Oh, is there anything else?"

"Xiaguan immediately began to plan, and the lady and the young master, the young lady and the family members of the adults were all taken to Dengzhou, and the lady could not continue to be in the capital, if the family members of the adults could not move out of the capital, they would be bogeyed, and this aspect of the matter had to be prevented."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze with a smile on his face, in the current situation, it is not too difficult to make Zhu Xianxin, Su Mingjie, Su Mingxin, Chen Yuanyuan and others outstanding in the capital, but it has not reached that point for the time being.

"Lao Qu, you can also arrange this matter, but there is no need now, we also have to see what kind of changes will occur in the imperial court, you said this, I think of one of the most important things, that is, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Quanzhou and other places, which officials can not be trusted, including the officers at all levels of the Jiangning battalion, if someone thinks, continue to rely on the imperial court, hoping to get the emperor's appreciation, such people, we can't continue to reuse, of course, this aspect of things, At present, it is just a good investigation, and no action must be taken. ”

"My lord, don't worry, the lower officials understand, and they will arrange it immediately, and strive to investigate it clearly within half a year."

"Okay, we still have a fierce fight, this time the decisive battle with the Houjin Tartars, no matter what the opinion of the imperial court is, and no matter what the emperor thinks, we must implement it, otherwise we will encounter too much trouble, and we can't give Huang Taiji a chance to continue to shoot."
