Chapter 1195: Internal Division

(Thank you for the happy sword swinging, moonchenli voted for the precious monthly ticket, and thank you for the reward who chose to take the middle route without left or right, thank you.) )

Regarding the fact that the Datong Border Army and the Liaodong Border Army could not be mobilized, there was actually Su Tiancheng's shadow in it.

The connection between Su Tiancheng and Zhou Yanru has not been completely eliminated, especially after Jinyiwei and Dongchang began to clean up the ministers of civil and military affairs on a large scale in the imperial court, Zhou Yanru has been sensitively aware that if the imperial court continues to develop like this, it will perish sooner or later, and he must think of a way back for himself, and his hometown is in the south, which has been occupied by Su Tiancheng, but his family has not suffered any abuse, nor has he suffered any crimes, and his life is similar to before, and his family has written to him, The local public security situation is much better than before, and the officials of the government are very careful in doing things, and they dare not bully the people casually, because the above requirements are very strict, and the most important problem reflected in the letter is that Su Tiancheng is the emperor, which seems to have been recognized by the people, and people do not think that Su Tiancheng is a rebellion.

The impact of these news on Zhou Yanru is very great, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others, after taking refuge in Su Tiancheng, are still high-ranking officials Houlu, and Yang Sichang is the Zhongshu Order of Zhongshu Province, Fan Jingwen is the left capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are all top-level officials, Su Tiancheng restored the system of three provinces and six ministries when setting up officials, which also indicates that the Great Jin Dynasty has restored the setting of the prime minister, and the power of the minister is greater.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yanru will not sever contact with Su Tiancheng, but this connection is very secret, and there will be no direct contact, most of them are through family or other channels.

Su Tiancheng's attitude is very clear, Liaodong cannot have any accidents. The ferocity of the Houjin Tartars is well known, and in the previous contest with the imperial court, they suffered a great loss, and it can be said that the inner resentment reached a critical point. Even if they enter the Guannei, then the common people in many places in the north will encounter the most tragic fate, and if the Houjin Tartars win in Liaodong, it will inevitably stimulate the Mongolian tribes, resulting in danger in Datong and Ningxia, and then it will be a situation of complete collapse.

Su Tiancheng is in favor of adopting a more peaceful way to change the status quo, which is common in Shandong and other places. Including Nan Zhili, it was fully expressed.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that Zhou Yanru Ning Yuan Su Tiancheng was the emperor, and he didn't want the Houjin Tartars to occupy the capital.

This indirect connection between Su Tiancheng and Zhou Yanru directly affected Zhou Yanru's attitude.

Shi Kefa's attitude is the same.

From Nanzhili directly to Liaodong, Shi Kefa quickly adapted, and when he went to Liaodong, the situation was still very optimistic. It was also relatively calm, and the Houjin Tartar did not dare to make any rash moves. It's a pity that with Su Tiancheng's rebellion, the situation has changed dramatically, and Houjin Tartar began to move.

Of course, Shi Kefa was ready for everything, and at one point was even ready to close the mutual market in Quang Ninh.

Shi Kefa also received a letter from Su Tiancheng, the meaning of the letter was very clear, and he must do his best to defend Liaodong. Defend the Guanningjin defense line, and you can't give the Houjin Tartars any chance, otherwise they will be the sinners of the Han nation through the ages.

Of course, Shi Kefa understood the meaning of this, so when he was summoned to the capital by the emperor, he resolutely opposed the mobilization of the Liaodong border army. Although the Liaodong border army has been expanded, the total number is close to 300,000, but it is distributed in Guangning, Xipingbao, Yizhou, Montenegro, Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan and other places, which is not so abundant.

According to the emperor's intentions, mobilizing 200,000 troops and leaving tens of thousands of people to stick to Liaodong is tantamount to saying that Liaodong will be handed over to the Houjin Tartars, and the quality of the Liaodong border army is uneven, and the quality of the sergeants recruited later, including many military households, can only be said to be generalized, and it will not even be much stronger than the common people.

It was precisely because of such strong opposition that the emperor hesitated.

Shi Kefa has been in Nanzhili for several years, and is familiar with the situation in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Su Tiancheng's expedition in Nanzhili, and many situations, he also knows from the letters from officials and friends, Shi Kefa never thought that Su Tiancheng could so easily exterminate more than 300,000 Ming troops and take most of the place.

Shi Kefa is more aware of the fact that the cruelty of the Houjin Tartars is famous, as early as the Apocalypse, when Nurhachi led the Houjin Tartars to conquer Liaodong, after capturing the city, the young and strong were plundered, and the remaining old and weak women and children were all killed, and there was no one left alive.

Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning battalion to beat the Houjin Tartars to the ground, and even killed the prince Duoduo of the Houjin, and destroyed several banners in the Eight Banners Army, which is a great shame for the Houjin Tartars, and it is an unbearable pain.

It is precisely because of this situation that Shi Kefa paid special attention to the every move of the Houjin Tartars, and many of Dolgon's moves, Shi Kefa noticed that he had reported to the imperial court and reported the changes of the Houjin Tartars, but unfortunately the imperial court did not care about the affairs of Liaodong at all, and Su Tiancheng's rebellion had involved all the energy of the imperial court.

Shi Kefa also wrote a letter directly to Dolgon, clearly reprimanding Dolgon, Houjin has bowed to the Ming Dynasty, and there are hostages in the capital, and there are still many unfriendly measures in Liaodong for what to do, but unfortunately the letter written by Shi Kefa did not get the slightest response.

Shi Kefa was furious and prepared to close the mutual market in Guangning, but his staff and officers all advised that the imperial court was not very stable, and at such a time, the Houjin Tartars just wanted to find an excuse and opportunity to fight.

In fact, the dilemma of Liaodong has begun to appear, because of Su Tiancheng's rebellion, the imperial court's silver began to be seriously insufficient, Liaodong and Datong recruited sergeants on a large scale, and needed military salaries, and it was impossible for the imperial court to come up with so much military salaries, and it was able to maintain it at the beginning, but after the autumn harvest season, the household began to complain, and it is no wonder that the rich south did not pay taxes, how could the imperial court maintain, and the biggest reliance at present was the mutual market in Liaodong, as well as the mutual market of Jingbian and Anningbao, The second is that Shaanxi can still pay taxes in full.

After coming to the capital, Shi Kefa and Wang Daozhi met, when the two talked about the situation in the south, they were sad, both of them had done things in Nanzhili, Shi Kefa used to be the secretary of the military department of Nanzhili, Wang Daozhi used to be the Yin of Yingtianfu Mansion, and they were very familiar with the situation in the south, but the understanding of the two about Liaodong was completely consistent, and Liaodong must not relax, otherwise the capital will suffer a catastrophe.

The two of them are very pessimistic about the future prospects, from the actual situation, the imperial court wants to continue to maintain, it is too difficult, the newly established Great Jin Dynasty, in many aspects occupy an overwhelming advantage, has become the Great Jin Emperor Su Tiancheng, as long as the decision to come to the north, the imperial court is in danger, the capital is also dangerous, to the point of necessity, the eastern Liaodong border army held the Guanningjin defense line, what is the point.

At that time, the emperor wants to dispatch the Liaodong border army, and I am afraid that no one can oppose it.

After Shi Kefa and Wang Daozhi returned to the capital, they also went to visit Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, saying that they were visiting, but in fact, Zhou Yanru's key Zhou Kang informed the two people, saying that they had something to discuss.

After repeated comparisons, the three of them unanimously agreed that the Liaodong border army could not move, and as a last resort, they should mobilize all the Datong border troops, hand over the defense of Datong to the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe, and the Datong border army should be dispatched, and the governor rushed to the Baoding area of Beizhili, so as to make comprehensive arrangements to prevent the Jiangning battalion from directly attacking Beizhili from Shandong.

As for Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, there are not enough troops to defend at present, and if Su Tiancheng does not attack Beizhili for the time being, and finds a way to take Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, the imperial court can only stare dryly.

The opinions discussed by the three of them are basically the last opinions.

Shi Kefa is about to return to Liaodong, although the situation in the capital is still very bad, but Zhou Yanru still does it for Shi Kefa, as for Wang Daozhi, he will stay in the capital, and the holy decree of dispatching the Datong border army has been issued, and Wang Daozhi can wait in the capital.

This time the time to eat and drink was very long, and the strange thing was that Zhou Yanru, Shi Kefa, Wang Daozhi and others did not say anything, and the occasional few words of dialogue were also full of suspense, and everyone seemed to have thought about what to do in the future, and they didn't seem to have thought about what road to go in the future.

It wasn't until the end of the banquet that Zhou Yanru said something, and it was also a very bold remark, which probably meant that the Ming Dynasty was afraid that it would encounter a huge disaster, and now the problem was not in Liaodong, but in the south, and the gradually stronger Jin Dynasty would be unstoppable, like a torrent of waves, sweeping away all the forces that blocked it, and letting these obstacles disappear.

Shi Kefa and Wang Daozhi didn't say much, the terrifying situation in the capital made the two of them not talk much, and they have always been very cautious when they came to the capital, but the two of them understood very well that the civil and military ministers of the imperial court had already had ideas, or that there was a split, I am afraid that someone would be ready to defect to the Great Jin Dynasty and be loyal to Su Tiancheng.
