Su Tiancheng noticed the Houjin Tartars, but the source of intelligence is still limited, although Qu Qingze is all over the intelligence network, but after Su Tiancheng and the imperial court turned their faces, the operation of the intelligence network encountered some difficulties, which is also reasonable, about the information of the Houjin Tartars, mainly Su Jun is in charge of collecting and sorting, Su Jun is in direct contact with Huang Zaisheng in Shenyang, the source of intelligence is mainly through Liaodong and Anning Fort, Jingbian mutual market, but the governor of Liaodong and the governor of Datong have been replaced, The official contact is gone, relying on the following to obtain information and invest more.

Although he has been paying attention to the Houjin Tartars, Su Tiancheng has not received valuable information, that is to say, the Houjin Tartars have not made any moves for the time being, from this point of view, Su Tiancheng can only believe that the Houjin Tartars are either still waiting, or there will be no action, but Su Tiancheng did not notice that the Japanese on the other side of the sea also made moves, and Sakamoto Ichiro in Shenyang also paid attention to this information. The timely delivery of intelligence prevented the invasion of North Korea, but now the opportunity has come.

The contest of intelligence systems has always been complicated.

Su Tiancheng was more concerned about the war situation in Fujian Province and Zhejiang Province, and he would not have thought that after exterminating Liu Zeqing's 100,000 army, the subsequent expedition would be unusually smooth.

Hong Chengchou, who was in Fujian, led Xiong Zijian and others to occupy the whole province of Fujian in less than a month, and most of the rich people in Fujian were almost wiped out, and in the process of purging and suppressing, there were also some excessive measures. Especially when the wealth of those rich people was confiscated, the families of the rich were crying and crying, and there was almost nothing to settle in their lives, which seemed to be very pitiful, for this matter, Hong Chengchou wrote a letter to Su Tiancheng. But in Su Tiancheng's reply, there was only one sentence, crying all the way is not as good as crying as a family, Hong Chengchou quickly understood the reason, and insisted on the previous practice as always.

The situation in Zhejiang, after Liu Zeqing's 100,000 army was wiped out, the situation has also completely changed, especially Li Juesi, the governor of Zhejiang, has been paying attention to Liu Zeqing's 100,000 army. It's a pity that in just a few days, the 100,000-strong army was wiped out, and it didn't exist at all, and there could be no other army in Zhejiang that could resist the Jiangning battalion, and Li Juesi, who had been in the officialdom for a long time, knew better. I'm afraid that in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is no army that can compete with the Jiangning battalion.

The choice is inevitable. Fleeing from Zhejiang, I'm afraid there will be no good end, even if he returns to the capital, but he loses Zhejiang's guilt, he Li Juesi can't afford it, originally this responsibility. Liu Zeqing can be blamed, but Liu Zeqing is dead, and it is impossible for the dead to take responsibility.

Just when the panic was unbearable, the Jiangning camp led by Su Tiancheng was not idle. After exterminating the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing and occupying Jiaxing, the army quickly advanced in the direction of Huzhou and Hangzhou.

The Jiangning battalion did not encounter any decent resistance, because the speed of the advance was too fast, even the emperor and the imperial court would not have thought of it, but in a few days, the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing was completely wiped out, they always thought that in Jiaxing and other places, there were still a lot of fierce battles, if Liu Zeqing could not resist and was at a disadvantage, the imperial court could transfer troops from Huguang and Nanzhili to support Liu Zeqing.

When the Jiangning camp occupied Hangzhou Mansion, Li Juesi did not commit suicide and did not flee to the capital, but chose to stay in Hangzhou.

Li Juesi in history, big and small, is also a character, but judging from the performance in history, there seems to be some problems with this Li Juesi's character, not only took refuge in the Houjin Tartars, but also took revenge privately, framed the righteous people who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, and it is said that he is more greedy and loves money.

Su Tiancheng did not have a particularly deep impression of Li Juesi, although Li Juesi was sent to Zhejiang from the imperial court to serve as the governor, but Su Tiancheng has always been exiled and has never stayed in the imperial court, and later he was doing things in the north, so he was not familiar with the situation in the south, and the officials were naturally not familiar with it.

When he met Li Juesi, Su Tiancheng, as a high-ranking official at the level of governor, Li Juesi would definitely be righteous and awe-inspiring, and he would at least show his own political tendencies, just like Fan Jingwen's performance.

Su Tiancheng will not kill Li Juesi, there are too many things involved, no matter what, Li Juesi is a second-grade official of the imperial court, if he kills Li Juesi, it will make those officials in the imperial court silent, and they will be more united and jointly oppose him Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng doesn't want to ask for trouble.

Li Juesi's performance made Su Tiancheng very strange, he actually hugged his fists and saluted, calling Su Tiancheng an adult, according to Li Juesi's explanation, Su Tiancheng used to be the prince and the prince, the Jiliao supervisor, and the cabinet scholar, of course, an adult.

Su Tiancheng's impression is very bad, he feels that Li Juesi has no backbone, but Li Juesi's attitude can be used, as the governor of Zhejiang, he can take the initiative to take refuge in it, for other provinces, the impact is not small, Su Tiancheng did not think of confiscating Li Juesi's property for the time being, he can be sure that Li Juesi must have a lot of wealth, I believe that Liu Zeqing will not be so stupid, since he has sent property to the magistrates below, don't you scold Li Juesi.

Su Tiancheng told Li Juesi that he asked Fuzhou County, to which Zhejiang belongs, to give up resistance, maintain local order, and wait for the Jiangning camp to receive it.

Li Juesi readily agreed, but just made a request, imploring Su Tiancheng to consider his family in the capital, if the imperial court knew about this matter, his family would definitely be in danger.

Su Tiancheng also agreed.

In fact, this is already one of the most important tasks of the Jiangning battalion, which is to protect the family members of officials, this matter is directly responsible for Su Jun, Su Jun has a large amount of silver in his hands, including a lot of capable soldiers, once an official has the intention of taking refuge, this official can be used by Su Tiancheng, the next step is to protect the family of this official, in the hometown of the better to say, directly send troops over, or to receive Shandong and other places, or to protect on the spot, in the capital is more complicated, for example, Yang Sichang and others' families, Su Jun spent a lot of silver.

I have to mention here that as early as when Su Tiancheng and the imperial court had opinions, Su Pingyang made a suggestion that the family members of the hometown of Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province must be brought to Dengzhou, so as not to be targeted by the imperial court, this matter is directly handled by Su Pingyang, and Su Huawen and Mrs. Wang and others are all received to Qingzhou.

Li Juesi's letter played a great role, the officials in Yanzhou, Quzhou, Jinhua, Chuzhou and Wenzhou and other places, all gave up resistance, since the governors have all surrendered, there is no need to talk about them, so the Jiangning camp in Zhejiang, did not encounter any resistance, at the same time, Su Tiancheng also issued an order, the officials of Fuzhou County, stand by, all the officials who do not want to belong, can leave the local area on their own, rush to the capital, Jiangning camp will not be embarrassed, willing to stay, wait for the order.

After the army occupied Hangzhou, Su Tiancheng stayed in Hangzhou, he deliberately took time out to go to the West Lake to see, before crossing, he had been to the West Lake several times, here is a world-famous scenic spot. The difference is that in today's West Lake, literati and artists can come and go as they please, and no one charges a fee.

When standing on the Su Causeway, Su Tiancheng had a lot of emotion, at the beginning of the crossing, he would not have thought that he would come to this point, the idea at that time was to make meritorious contributions and support the Ming Dynasty well, even if he met any problems, it was a big deal to pat his ass and leave, Luzon, Nanyang and Taiwan and other places, they could go, and the court could not help it, but unfortunately the development of the facts made him soberly realize that a dynasty that was extremely rotten and an emperor who did not have the ability to govern the country and level the world, Even if the officials below do things desperately, they can't change the overall situation, and the big deal is Zhang Juzheng's end, which can make the Zhu family's country last for decades longer.

The battle of conquest of Fujian and Zhejiang, so that Su Tiancheng realized that the Ming Dynasty was hopeless, and he led the Jiangning battalion, as long as he did it according to the correct deployment, maybe in more than a year, he could unify the entire Central Plains, and he could completely overthrow the rule of the Zhu family. After all, to govern the world, you still have to rely on officials.

History has opened a new page, Su Tiancheng has left too much brush and ink in this picture, and the next task is to persevere, make this picture as perfect as possible, and don't leave too many regrets.

March 20, 16th year of Chongzhen.

The battles between Fujian and Zhejiang are all over, so far, Su Tiancheng has controlled Shandong Province, Zhejiang Province, Fujian Province, including Xuanzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou and Taiwan and other places, according to the practice of the imperial court, Su Tiancheng also adjusted some officials, Zhang Pu served as the governor of Fujian, Lu Shanji served as the governor of Shandong, and Yang Sichang served as the governor of Zhejiang.

Lu Xiangsheng was appointed commander of the Jiangning Battalion, and Zhu Xianxuan was appointed chief assistant to the cabinet.

This is only a temporary arrangement, and Su Tiancheng is still brewing bigger moves. (To be continued......)
