Chapter 948: Arrangements for the Expedition

The moment he walked on the dock, Su Tiancheng was a little dizzy, and he was still uncomfortable after calling the combat ship for a long time, after all, Su Tiancheng's identity was different, and the key duty was not to follow the army to conquer, but to make a series of decisions.

All matters in Dengzhou came to Su Tiancheng's mind.

Wang Dazhi is resolutely unwilling to leave, for so many years, he has been following Su Tiancheng's side, protecting Su Tiancheng's safety, has become Wang Dazhi's most important task, it can be said that in addition to this task and responsibility, Wang Dazhi almost did not consider other things, in Wang Dazhi's understanding, Su Tiancheng's safety is the most important matter, all things, must make concessions for Su Tiancheng's safety, and ask Wang Dazhi to focus on the task of conquering Taiwan, Su Tiancheng is also painstaking.

Establish a base in Taiwan, it should be said, is the best choice, Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, not far from the capital, if there are many changes in the future, here will also be greatly affected, and even because of the importance of geographical location, there will be internal strife and fighting, this is Su Tiancheng does not want to see the situation, the internal strife, the consumption of their own strength, weakened is the strength of the Ming Dynasty. However, the situation is completely different when the base is built in Taiwan, which is still a certain distance from the inland, and many things that happen here do not have much impact on the imperial court.

This is Su Tiancheng's selfishness, transferring the base to Taiwan can be said to be the wisest choice, it can avoid the situation of high merit and shocking the master, can avoid many discussions in the imperial court, and build Taiwan well, feed a strong army, there will be no big problem, Su Tiancheng will not take the initiative to provoke trouble, Taiwan must also be the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that how to govern Taiwan needs to be made wisely according to the actual situation.

Hundreds of years later, Su Tiancheng remembers the situation very clearly, of course, that situation. In the Ming Dynasty, it could not appear, Su Tiancheng controlled Taiwan, he could directly affect Fujian and other places, such a connection is close, and in this era, Zhu Youzhen's understanding of sea power will not change for the time being, and it is impossible to rise to the height soon, not only Zhu Youzhen. Even those civil and military officials in the imperial court will not realize the importance of sea power.

Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou will be built well, this is also Su Tiancheng willingly, only when the Ming Dynasty is really strong, it is possible to avoid foreign invasion, it is possible to truly dominate the world, so that the whole world worships and admires Han culture, weak and poor country. It's impossible to look up to, even if it's a change of dynasty in the future. But there is one thing that needs to be fixed, that is, riots can only occur at the top, and cannot affect the development of the economy.

This is Su Tiancheng's wishful thinking, and it is also a wish that is difficult to realize, but Su Tiancheng can't think of so much, and uses the system to completely fix everything. There is almost no possibility, and don't make any efforts in this regard, things that don't have much effect, and it's better not to waste energy in vain.

Wang Dazhi finally obeyed the arrangement, which was also because Su Tiancheng finally told the truth. With Wang Dazhi went to Taiwan to conquer, as well as Yan Yingyuan, after a long period of observation, Su Tiancheng's view of Yan Yingyuan has changed a lot, Yan Yingyuan in history has not been reused, but when he fought against the Qing Dynasty, he showed his ability, which is a kind of backbone that does not yield and does not surrender. After a long period of contact, Su Tiancheng felt that Yan Yingyuan's ability was not only in terms of conquest, but also in the ability to govern the local area.

Yan Yingyuan's time in Xuanzhou was not long, but in a short period of time, Xuanzhou was governed in an orderly manner, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and could truly submit to the rule of the Ming court, which was not a simple achievement.

Once Taiwan is captured, Su Tiancheng's idea is to send Xu Jili and Gu Xingsong over, Xu Jili and Gu Xingsong are considered to be their own family, and they can rest assured that they can assist Wang Dazhi in building Taiwan, plus Xu Jili and Gu Xingsong have been tempered over the years, and they have a very good understanding of how to act government affairs.

Su Tiancheng also thought of Zhu Xianxin in the capital, in his planning, the family will eventually reunite on the island of Taiwan, and when it comes to that time, there is not much pressure on him, and the Ming Kingdom is really strong, and he can really enjoy the joy of the family.

According to the previous arrangement, the details of the warship formation arrived in Jinzhou, and because of the leakage of intelligence, the entire operational plan was adjusted.

It's already the middle of December, what kind of changes have happened to the Xibe tribe and the Daur tribe in the Hetao grassland, and whether there is still some restlessness, these situations, Su Tiancheng is not very clear, but one thing is certain, that is, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who conquered the grassland cannot spend the Spring Festival in peace.

In Su Tiancheng's memory, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have been unable to spend the festival in peace several times, and the Spring Festival is the festival that everyone attaches the most importance to, but born in such an era, there are some things that cannot be decided by themselves.

After getting off the ship, the team of people and horses quickly assembled, the time is very tight, it is necessary to rush directly from Tianjin to Datong, and so many people, can not alarm the imperial court, this seems a little impossible, but the way can always be thought of, the army will not move forward from the official road, the march route has long been determined, day and night, to minimize the impact.

Tianjin is also under the jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng, there are special officials here, responsible for all the logistics matters, the time when the warship formation arrives at the mouth of Dagu is noon, and when it is time to unitary, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who are ready to go will be ready to leave.

There are also a lot of difficulties in the march, fighting on the grassland, the Jiangning battalion will rely on the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion to the greatest extent, and use the power of artillery to conquer the grassland, so this time, Su Tiancheng attaches great importance to the artillery battalion and the Shenji battalion, and the requirements are also different.

The speed of the brigade is not slow, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion have long adapted to all this, the quality cultivated by long-term combat is there, and the soldiers who participated in the grassland expedition this time are all elites drawn from various departments, and most of the newly recruited 20,000 soldiers have stayed in Dengzhou and Fuzhou and other places, although Hong Chengchou wants to train 20,000 soldiers, but the importance of the grassland expedition is still very clear, and he will not ask recruits to participate in the expedition.

Except for the scouts who reconnoitred along the road, the 50,000-strong army was a whole, and there was no so-called front army and middle army.

The commander-in-chief makes Su Tiancheng, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze's identity, which is equivalent to the chief of the general staff.

When the child was born, Qu Qingze came to report the matter.

This time, it was the intelligence sent by the dark line in Tianjin, and it was the intelligence of Liaodong.

The group continued to advance, and Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou were in the makeshift tent.

After reading the information sent by Liaodong, Su Tiancheng's face was not much surprised, but there were a lot of feelings in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng went through detailed reconnaissance and determined that Tang Haitai was the person who leaked the information, which was somewhat unexpected by Su Tiancheng, the scenes in Nanjing, Su Tiancheng would not forget, but with the improvement of his status, Tang Haitai was no longer qualified to be his opponent, according to the standards of hundreds of years later, Tang Haitai is a typical second generation of gentlemen, has not encountered setbacks, does not know the hardships of life in Ludao, has no ambitions and pursuits, and enjoys life all his life, and if he encounters a little trouble, he does not know how to deal with itSuch people are actually very pathetic.

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze both read the information from Liaodong.

The first to speak was Hong Chengchou.

"My lord, Xia Guan really can't think of it, this spy is actually Tang Haitai, if you want to come to the court, I'm afraid something will happen, although Tang Shiji is a minister, but Tang Haitai's actions, I'm afraid it will affect Tang Shiji, this Tang Haitai, there is more than enough success, when Xia Guan was in Liaodong, his impression of Tang Haitai was not very good, but I didn't expect that Tang Haitai would actually sell his master to seek glory."

Hong Chengchou had just finished speaking, and Qu Qingze followed and spoke.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that the Houjin Tartars value Tang Haitai very much, after all, Tang Haitai's identity is different, and the Houjin Tartars want to get more information, especially this time the grassland expedition, the lower officials think that Lord Lu's plan is feasible, through Tang Haitai, pass on false information, confuse the Houjin Tartars, and wait until the grassland expedition begins, the Houjin Tartars know that they have been deceived, and there is no way to recover it."

Su Tiancheng nodded, he thought more far-reaching.

"What you say is feasible, but I think that even after the end of the grassland expedition, don't move Tang Haitai for the time being, don't the Houjin Tartars value Tang Haitai, and they also got valuable information from Tang Haitai, even after the grassland expedition is over, we can still use Tang Haitai to continue to pass false information to the Houjin Tartars, the war in Liaodong is unavoidable, and the Houjin Tartars are also doing everything possible to get information, you might as well let Tang Haitai safely transmit false information and confuse the Houjin Tartars, Otherwise, after capturing Tang Haitai, the Houjin Tartars would have to find another way to develop their intelligence network. ”

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze didn't expect that Su Tiancheng would actually think about using Tang Haitai all the time to pass on false information, but after the grassland expedition was over, could it be that the Houjin Tartars would still believe Tang Haitai.

Qu Qingze raised questions.

"My lord, the grassland expedition is over, and Houjin Tartar must feel deceived, will he still believe Tang Haitai?"

"Hehe, Lord Qu, you need to worry about this matter, intelligence, there are always true and false." (To be continued......)
