Chapter 1254: A Different Taste

Su Tiancheng's development, strictly speaking, has little to do with Beiping, became a model for the palace test, he asked to be released and left the capital, and then has been running around the Ming Dynasty, to Beiping time is very little, but because Mrs. Zhu Xianxin has always been in Beiping, so he often returns to Beiping, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Beiping is endowed with different meanings, here is the political and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty, the game of officialdom, the struggle for power, almost all of them are carried out here, Su Tiancheng has also experienced the taste of officialdom game here, It's just that he withdrew in a timely manner, and basically did not participate in the party struggle of the imperial court, and it was precisely because of this that when Su Tiancheng founded the Great Jin Dynasty, the official team was relatively clean.

After the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, Su Tiancheng paid great attention to the party struggle, to say that in the imperial court, Zhu Xianxuan's status is extraordinary, not only the first assistant of the cabinet, Shang Shuling, the head of the hundred officials, but also the elder brother of the queen of the Great Jin Dynasty, the power is very amazing, but Su Tiancheng often warned Zhu Xianxuan that it is not easy to create a dynasty, the Ming Dynasty declined in such a short period of time, and the party struggle is one of the great reasons, so Zhu Xianxuan is also very concerned.

Of course, Su Tiancheng is not a pedantic person, and he will not learn the practice after hundreds of years, what officials' income is lower than that of ordinary people, and he is tied to officials, because he knows very well that the times are different, the quality of officials is much higher than that of ordinary people, there are not many scholars in this era, and most of the people are illiterate, and there is even a saying that scholars are the stars of the heavens, so scholars are the most important force to support the imperial court.

The common people regard the officials as the great masters of the blue sky, and the officials regard the people as the parents of food and clothing, although it is a point of view emphasized by many dynasties, but it is still a very distant thing to really do so, I am afraid that a hundred years later. Whether you can reach this realm or not, it's still hard to say, what song to sing in what mountain, so ambitious will eventually suffer a big loss.

Su Tiancheng remembers very well that Wang Mang in the Western Han Dynasty was the biggest lesson. When Wang Mang overthrew the Western Han Dynasty and established a dynasty, the situation faced by the Great Jin Dynasty was somewhat similar, with political corruption, officials being greedy for ink, party strife running rampant, and a large number of land annexed by the gentry and wealthy households, which made the common people live in hardship and displaced. There were also years of famine, so that the common people basically had no way to live, and then a large-scale peasant rebellion broke out, and the rogues once swept all over the country, hitting the Ming Dynasty hard.

Wang Mang was hailed as a far-sighted and selfless reformer, and was even called the socialist emperor, but such a seemingly accomplished emperor was twenty years after he ascended the throne. Overthrown and killed by the rebel army, the dynasty of just twenty years. Founded one of the shortest-lived dynasties in history.

Many of Wang Mang's ideas and practices are even in line with the trend of thought after a thousand years, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, in what era, we must pay attention to the characteristics of this era, and do things only slowly. Take it one step at a time, and slowly seek change.

Many of the policies implemented by Su Tiancheng were even more radical than Bi Wangmang back then, such as the initiative to return farmland to the imperial court, which was unusual. It didn't do well and aroused the opposition of all the gentry and wealthy households, and Su Tiancheng would die without a place to be buried, but before promoting this policy, Su Tiancheng made a lot of preparations, including strengthening the Jiangning battalion, with the support of the army, and at the beginning, Su Tiancheng did not give the Jiangning battalion soldiers a reward for land, and always asked the soldiers' families to lease and cultivate the land, and then in Shandong and other places, large-scale development of businessmen, so that the economy began to be highly prosperous, the market began to be lively, and a lot of wealth was also generated in the market. The most critical point that Su Tiancheng did was that the officials who entered the Great Jin Dynasty were not allowed to own land, and the land must be returned to the imperial court, and the imperial court took out a part of the silver to indicate the purchase of land, but the amount was not much, just to show that on the other hand, the Great Jin Dynasty gave the officials a very high salary, which was enough for them to feed their families and live a decent life. Even in this case, there are still major obstacles to the recovery of farmland.

Knowing history can clarify the gains and losses, and controlling the future can determine the direction of history, with such good conditions, Su Tiancheng certainly knows what to do.

Qu Qingze's information soon came out.

On the 11th day of February in the second year of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Jiangning battalion who are ready to go, they are in good spirits, they all know that they are going to enter Beiping tonight, this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, once they enter here, it means that the Ming Dynasty has been overthrown, subverted, and the Ming Dynasty will cease to exist from now on, and will be replaced by the Jin Dynasty.

It is impossible for the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion not to be excited, for so many years, they fought in the south and the north, they used to serve the Ming court, exterminate the Liukou, and hit the Houjin Tartars, and then they were in order to create a new dynasty, in order to overthrow the Ming Dynasty, not for a long time, their wish was realized, the Great Jin Dynasty was established, and Su Tiancheng, the military soul of the Jiangning Battalion, became the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. But in any case, the Great Jin Dynasty has not yet fixed the capital, this is the regret of everyone's hearts, now that Beiping has been taken, the Great Jin Dynasty will be set to be the capital here, and at that time, the Great Jin Dynasty will really stand up.

Being able to fight for the establishment of the dynasty and witness the prosperity of the dynasty in person is the voice of every Jiangning battalion soldier.

With Hong Chengchou's order, the large army began to march.

The night of February, it was still very cold, but no soldiers felt the cold, their whole body was hot, this mood spread among the people and horses, the horses' hooves were still wrapped, this became a habit, the soldiers rode on the horses, although they did not speak, but they could vaguely see everyone's excited expressions, the sky was beautiful, a round of the moon was about to be full and hung high in the sky, all this seemed so harmonious.

The south gate of the outer city of the capital has long been opened.

The sergeants of the Daming Beijing Battalion, standing neatly inside and outside the city gate, waiting for the Jiangning battalion to enter, received the news of opening the city gate to welcome the Jiangning battalion into the capital, almost no sergeants objected, and the vast majority of the officers also agreed, and a small number of officers or sergeants who did not agree had no chance to inform, they were tied up or directly killed, and the sergeants had no fighting spirit, and no one wanted to lose their lives in a meaningless and doomed battle.

When the army came to the south gate of the capital, all the soldiers stopped, and they knew very well that at this time, the first to enter the capital must be the emperor, so they were all waiting for the emperor to enter the capital first.

Guarded by 3,000 personal soldiers, Su Tiancheng was surrounded in the middle and headed towards the south gate of the capital.

The capital has long been under martial law, after dark, the people are not allowed to go to the streets, there are sergeants patrolling the streets, and it is precisely because of such favorable conditions that the Jiangning battalion entered the capital almost unknown to outsiders.

In fact, there are many things that need to be guarded against, on the one hand, the Black Death is still spreading in the capital, and on the other hand, who knows if there are Ming officials with ill intentions in the Dao, thinking that when the army enters the capital, they will murder the emperor, although there are these dangerous factors, Su Tiancheng still insists on entering the capital first.

Su Tiancheng's dress is unusual, a dark yellow silk cotton robe, plus a shining golden armor, in this era, unless it is the emperor, the rest of the people dare not wear it like this.

The torches were lit up very brightly within a radius of a few hundred meters, and the soldiers and scouts were highly nervous, observing all the movements around them, even if there was any wind and grass, they would not hesitate to pounce on them, so as to avoid any damage to the emperor.

The sergeants of the Daming Beijing camp guarding the south gate, including some of the sergeants of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, saw everyone surrounding Su Tiancheng coming, and knelt down unconsciously, everyone knelt down, this person who entered the capital was their future emperor, and it was the emperor who decided their life and death.

Su Tiancheng did not stay, surrounded by everyone, slowly entered the south gate, the south gate has been taken over by the Jiangning battalion soldiers, the city gate is guarded by the Jiangning battalion soldiers, and there are also soldiers guarding the city gate, but in the direction of entering the city, there is no Jiangning battalion soldiers, close to the inner edge of the city gate, holding a blazing torch in their hands, illuminating all the roads around.

When the war horse was about to enter the city, Su Tiancheng gently grabbed the reins.

He looked back at the gate of the black hole, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

After fifteen years, he finally walked into the center of power, before coming to the capital, there would never be such a feeling, at that time to the capital, or to reunite with his family, or for the adjustment of official positions and other matters, but this time the situation is different, he is here to lead here, from then on, he will be here to give orders, began to build a more prosperous and prosperous Jin Dynasty, he will strategize, destroy the Houjin Tartars of Liaodong, he will be exhausted, completely change the course of history.

After a short pause, Su Tiancheng turned around.

He looked at the soldiers around him and spoke loudly.

"Soldiers, brothers, I have brought you into Beijing......

That's when the shouts erupted.

"Long live the emperor......"

"Long live the emperor......"

More than 50,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion all got off their horses and knelt down, this is a historic moment, a dying dynasty has declined, has been subverted and overthrown, a new dynasty has risen, the emperor of this new dynasty is taking everyone into the capital, with everyone into a new era.

Su Tiancheng's body trembled slightly, and all the people around him knelt down, including Wu Rong and others, these personal guards, had never knelt down, but today's situation was different, inside and outside the city, he was riding on horseback alone.

Su Tiancheng clenched his fists, waved it a few times into the air, and without saying anything, the prancing horse headed towards the city...... (To be continued......)
