Chapter 1230: Aftermath

The tense atmosphere quickly dissipated, and almost everyone was happy about the unexpected victory in the battle of Tianjin, and even Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others in Nanjing all sent a special report to congratulate the emperor, and of course it was worth being happy that such a situation appeared, but Su Tiancheng did not think so, he was mainly worried about the situation in Liaodong, and he was afraid that there would be a deterioration.

Yan Yingyuan rushed to Liaodong for a short time, and Su Tiancheng did not expect that the matter in Tianjin would be solved in such a short time, and the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were preparing to spend a small year in Tianjin, which was something that Su Tiancheng should undertake, and the emperor had a promise of gold and must abide by it, and many soldiers also looked forward to spending a good Chinese New Year's Eve in Tianjin. In fact, at this time, the best choice is for the army to immediately start and attack the capital, because the news of the fall of Tianjin will soon spread to the capital, and Zhu Youzhen, who is annoyed and angry, must be going to make a dying struggle, and the only one that can be chosen by Zhu Youzhen is the Liaodong border army.

Su Tiancheng didn't dare to imagine that if Zhu Youzhen had mobilized the Liaodong Border Army in a desperate manner, what would Liaodong become, maybe when the Jiangning Battalion and the Liaodong Border Army fell into a bitter battle, the Houjin Tartars had already taken advantage of the situation to occupy the entire Liaodong, and even directly captured the capital, even if the Jiangning Battalion defeated the Liaodong Border Army, the Houjin Tartars may have ransacked the capital and retreated to Shanhaiguan to defend it. On the other hand, Su Tiancheng will have to spend a lot of strength to clear the Houjin Tartars in the direction of Liaodong, after all, the Guanningjin defense line is not a decoration, and the Ming army is weak, so it can rely on the Guanningjin defense line to resist the Houjin Tartars, not to mention the Houjin Tartars with strong combat effectiveness.

Such a situation must not happen.

So the day after the occupation of Tianjin. When everyone had not completely settled down, Su Tiancheng summoned Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze, Lu Xiangsheng and others to discuss the next things that needed to be faced.

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze are also the prime ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, although they are mainly military and intelligence, but in terms of people's livelihood. Su Tiancheng can also ask for the opinions of the two, not to mention that this is a people's livelihood matter closely related to the military. Lu Xiangsheng is also a scholar, although he has been fighting in the south and the north for many years, he is no stranger to the situation in terms of people's livelihood.

Su Tiancheng did not indulge in the joy of taking Tianjin peacefully, but expressed his worries. According to the information obtained by Qu Qingze, after Dolgon left Cangzhou, he went in the direction of Datong, and was annoyed that Dolgon was actually watching in Datong. did not go directly through the grassland to return to Shenyang, on the one hand, it shows that Dolgon has a lot of ambitions, thinking about sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, and striving for more benefits, on the other hand, it also shows that Dolgon has a good ability to observe, and there may be huge fluctuations in the area of Zhili in the north of Zhili.

The situation in the eastern Liaodong direction is equally not optimistic. After receiving Dolgon's report, Huang Taiji quickly dispatched Daishan and Zilharang. Stationed in Liaodong, stuck in the Liaohe area, coveting the situation in Liaodong at any time, once the Liaodong border army withdrew, they would take advantage of the situation and occupy the entire Liaodong in one fell swoop. Or even Shanhaiguan.

After Yan Yingyuan rushed to Liaodong, whether there would be an end to persuasion, this is an uncertain thing, after all, no one dares to guarantee that the Liaodong border army. In any case, it is the army of the Ming Dynasty, if it is stationed at Shanhaiguan, or Wu Sangui, then there is no need to worry too much, Wu Sangui may not send a large army to reinforce, but Shi Kefa's temper and temperament, Su Tiancheng does not know very well, who knows if Shi Kefa will be the same as Chen Xinjia, swearing allegiance to the imperial court.

On the positive side, it is that Zu Dashou and Zu Dale, who are stationed in Liaodong, have followed Su Tiancheng for a long time, which from a certain level, do a good job, maybe the two have the heart to return.

To say that Liu Jingting persuaded Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi to return to obedience, it is not a particularly important thing, even if Chen Xinjia is determined to resist to the end, even Wang Daozhi is ready to resist, the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning battalion is far stronger than the Ming army guarding the city, and it can guarantee to take the city of Tianjin, but the situation in Liaodong is different, whoever occupies the Guanningjin defense line first, especially the Shanhaiguan Pass, will have an absolute advantage, and the troops besieging the city must pay a heavy price.

Su Tiancheng already knows that the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty must be set up in Beiping, and he also has such feelings in his heart, the capital of a few hundred years will also be Beijing, and the capital of Nanjing is just an expedient measure, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty must not be threatened, the Houjin Tartars of Liaodong must be completely exterminated, and Su Tiancheng is not allowed to leave any troubles.

Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze, Lu Xiangsheng and others were silent, the questions raised by the emperor, they need to think carefully, many of these places are involved in the people's livelihood, for so many years, they have focused on the military and intelligence matters, although recently, Qu Qingze began to pay close attention to legal matters, but before the reunification of the Central Plains, Qu Qingze could not be completely separated from intelligence work.

Hong Chengchou spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion can still be divided into two ways, Lord Lu led a part of the soldiers, bypassing the capital, rushed to Shanhaiguan, it is Zu Dashou who is stationed in Shanhaiguan, presumably there will be no fight with the Jiangning battalion for the time being, the minister feels that the army does not have to enter Shanhaiguan, and goes straight to Guangning, which can stop the attack of the Houjin Tartars, so arranged, although the Liaodong border army has been transferred, the problem is not too big."

Qu Qingze nodded in agreement.

Lu Xiangsheng has a different view.

"The minister thinks that this move is quite inappropriate, if the minister leads the army to Liaodong, first, he can not avoid the fight with the Liaodong border army, if there is a mutual fight, the Houjin Tartars will be able to take the opportunity to act, at that time, the situation in Liaodong may be even worse, secondly, the army is running long distances, and the supply is also a big problem, the Jiangning battalion has strict military regulations, and it must not be violated, if there is a shortage of food and grass, it is difficult to completely solve it."

"The minister is by no means afraid to lead the army to attack Liaodong, the minister still wants to be able to undertake such a heavy task, although there are more than 200,000 border troops stationed in Liaodong, the minister is not afraid, the minister is worried that because of the mistake in deployment, there will be huge changes in Liaodong and the capital......"

Everyone expressed their opinions, and even some disputes arose.

During this process, Su Tiancheng never spoke, and listened very carefully, even if everyone had a dispute, he did not speak.

"I see that it is still carried out according to the original plan, some things must happen, and it is difficult for me to blame completely, anyway, after the beginning of the year, we must take the capital, and it will be the spring ploughing season soon, the battle is delayed for too long, and the impact on spring ploughing is huge, and I can't miss the agricultural time, and send a large army to Liaodong's suggestion, I have thought about it, it is indeed not very mature, maybe the army has passed, and it will become the main opponent of the Liaodong border army, once the Jiangning battalion and the Liaodong border army start a fight in Liaodong, everyone can think of it, after the golden tartar will have an unusual action. ”

"Liaodong wants to do its best to stabilize, I saw Liu Jingting's hard work, and also rushed to Liaodong, with my handwritten letter, to see Shi Kefa, Zu Dashou and Zu Dale and others, I don't ask them to return to obedience immediately, but I require them to hold Liaodong, must consider the people of Beizhili, after Dolgon evacuated Cangzhou, it has caused great damage in the area of Baoding Mansion, such a situation must not continue to appear, if Shi Kefa and others insist on going their own way, I will never spare it."

This little Chinese New Year's Eve was very comfortable, and Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi both attended the banquet.

Su Tiancheng drank a lot of wine, and after Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Xinjia and Wang Daozhi were going to leave Tianjin, and they took Shandong to Nanjing, and after arriving in Nanjing, Zhu Xianxuan would make corresponding arrangements.

After a few days of time, the people in Tianjin, including the scholars, are really convinced, after the Jiangning camp occupied Tianjin, not only did not come chaotically, but also relieved the displaced people outside the city, including some residents in the city who had no livelihood, the materials in the shops began to be rich, the salt that was gradually out of stock in the past can be bought everywhere, and a large number of materials needed for the New Year have also been transported in. The first thing to consider is to let the people spend the Spring Festival with peace of mind, where can such an army be found.

And the military regulations of the Jiangning battalion are extremely strict, whether it is in the restaurant inn or on the street, there is almost no sergeant figure, the street to maintain order, are the sergeants of the inspection department, those sergeants of the inspection department, no longer dare to walk between the green building and the restaurant, dare not go sideways in front of the people, with a polite smile on their faces, it is said that the inspection department has been vigorously rectified, unqualified sergeants, suffered a fire, and even imprisoned in the prison.

Such an army, the court that governs such an army, how can the common people not support it.

Within a short period of time, the displaced people began to return to their hometowns, and it was necessary to return home for the Chinese New Year, and what Jiangning Ying did in Tianjin and Cangzhou and other places was quickly spread by the common people, so that it had a great impact on the entire Beizhili, including the capital.

Don't underestimate this impact, this will play a huge role in Su Tiancheng's next step to capture the capital and govern the capital.

All this was also seen by Chen Xinjia, Wang Daozhi and others, and in the letters they wrote to their families, they also revealed a few words, expressing their admiration for Su Tiancheng and telling their families not to worry and have a good Spring Festival. (To be continued......)
