Chapter 182: Family Letter

Seeing the report sent by the imperial court, Su Tiancheng's heart hung in the air.

Liukou Gao Yingxiang, Luo Rucai, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., entered Shanxi from Shaanxi, and like last time, they also directly entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture, and in just a few days, they attacked in four ways, captured Daning, Xizhou, Zezhou, Shouyang and other places, and broke into Li Zicheng to capture Xiuwu County and killed Liu Fengxiang, the county governor.

This time, the formation is even more fierce than the four years of Chongzhen, when the 36th battalion of Liukou and more than 200,000 people gathered in Shanxi.

After all, his father Su Huawen returned to Pingyang Mansion City, and his second brother Su Tianran was also there, they were always their own family, although they were very indifferent to themselves, but their flesh and blood family relationship still couldn't be given up.

The imperial court has sent Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, to garrison the city of Pingyang, and Xu Dingchen, the governor of Shanxi, to garrison the city of Fenzhou, and divided them into two places to defend against the Liukou.

This has little effect, the imperial army, accustomed to positional warfare, in the face of the erratic rogue, or the peasant rebel army, is very rigid in tactics, does not know how to change, always guards in the city, in this case, the rogue just give full play to its own strengths, long-distance raid operations, shoot a shot to change a place, mainly to loot property, focusing on getting supplies and property.

The Liukou have not yet formed the idea of having a base area, and the focus is still on obtaining money, but this situation will soon change.

Su Tiancheng knew very well that Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen's encirclement and suppression of the rogues this time had little effect, and there were almost no results, and the two were not particularly capable generals, but their shortcomings were obvious.

According to the course of history, it began at this time. The invasion of the rogues formed a wave of small climaxes, until the tenth year of Chongzhen, during which there was the harassment of Houjin, coupled with years of famine, the Ming Dynasty became weak. The national strength is even more unbearable, and it can be said that the past five years have laid the final tone for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The development of history has its inevitability, but it is also full of too many accidental factors, before the crossing, Su Tiancheng always sighed when he read this history, and now. He crossed, grasped the power in a small way, and began to develop slowly, and with it, history has begun to quietly undergo inconspicuous changes, and he threw himself into such a torrent, if he went with the flow, he could not play his due role. That's a shame too.

Of course, today's Su Tiancheng. He also needs to continue to gather his own strength, relying on the help of all aspects, and overcoming many difficulties, once he wants to show his sword, it will inevitably be a sensational effect.

Lived in Binh Duong for a while, right there. Su Tiancheng still had some feelings, thinking that the Liukou was invading all around, maybe when, he secretly went to the outside of Pingyang Mansion City, those tenants of his own house. Isn't it going to be a disaster?

The imperial court's newspaper is very simple, there is not too much content, and after reading it carefully several times, I can't get much information.

Wang Dazhi stood aside, his face was serious, after all, he was born and raised in Shanxi, and his home was on the outskirts of Pingyang Fucheng, although his mother followed him to Jiangning County, but there were still relatives in the village. Besides, among the nursing homes of the mansion, there are also many people from Pingyang Mansion, and they can't bring their families here.

"Dazhi, go back to the mansion with me tomorrow to see, the news of the invasion of Pingyang Mansion by the Liukou, don't say anything for the time being, so as not to affect everyone's mood, ask Furong to pay attention to everyone's reaction, by the way, your mother was a few days ago, she was a little out of harmony with the water and soil, and she recuperated for a while, how is her body."

"Young master, my mother has nothing to do, I just can't see my little sister and my sister, I miss it a little, my sister has passed, and my mother's body is fine."

"In this way, I see, some of the nursing homes in the mansion should also go home to see, when the moon is over, you remind me, let them all go home and see, if there are those who want to stay in their hometown, don't be reluctant, ask Furong to ask them what they think, and if they are willing to go home, give them some silver."

"Young master, the little one thinks it's inappropriate, the nursing home of the mansion has followed me to Jiangning County, it's the young master's person, where can I just leave, eat in the mansion, and use the young master's silver, just leave, there is no such reason anywhere."

"Hehe, Dazhi, don't have such thoughts, these nursing homes are not very old, they miss their families, it is understandable, besides, Jiangning County is far away from Pingyang Prefecture, they don't know the situation of the Ludao family, there is not much communication, they can't rest assured, they can't stay here, it doesn't have much effect, it's better to let them go back and reunite with their families."

Wang Dazhi lowered his head and did not speak, obviously not accepting such an opinion.

Su Tiancheng shook his head, there is some truth, Wang Dazhi will not understand it for the time being, and he will not even be able to change it for the rest of his life, after all, what kind of era he lives in, what kind of thoughts he has.

Just returned to the backyard, Su Pingyang came in a hurry.

"Uncle, what's the matter, he looks like he's in a hurry."

"Young master, someone from my hometown has delivered a letter, and I am waiting in the mansion."

"Oh, call Su Jun and Su Ertong, let's go back and have a look."

When she returned to the mansion, Wang Furong was waiting in the lobby, and it was Su Can, a subordinate of the Su Mansion, who was obviously full, sitting on the side, answering the questions raised by Wang Furong.

Seeing Su Tiancheng come in, Wang Furong hurriedly stood up, the letter was placed on the table, and no one touched it.

"Young master, the little one has sent you a letter on the orders of the master."

"It's you, Su Can."

"The young master still remembers the little one."

"By the way, why didn't you pass through the post station, my father asked you to deliver the letter in person, is there something going on at home?"

"Everything is fine at home, but during this time, the rogues are harassing everywhere, some people are panicking, and the master is a little worried, so he specially ordered the young master to send a letter."

"Zhilu Dao, you can rest here for a few days."

Su Tiancheng took the letter and went directly to the study, Wang Furong followed into the study, and the rest of the people were waiting in the lobby, they also had a lot of questions, thinking of asking Su Can.

Su Tiancheng opened the letter.

After Wang Furong made tea for Su Tiancheng, she stood behind Su Tiancheng and slowly pinched Su Tiancheng's shoulder.

Although the young master works in the county office, every few days, she will return to the mansion, and at this time, she is the happiest time, serving the young master inside and out.

Wang Furong wondered why she was not pregnant, if she couldn't give birth to a son to the young master, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself, such a thing, she couldn't tell the young master, she could only be worried about herself. Where did she know that the young master had calculated the time, she was young, she was pregnant prematurely, and her body was a little unbearable.

Su Tiancheng's expression gradually became serious.

Everything is fine at home, but the invasion of the rogues, Zhang Zongheng is stationed in Pingyang Fucheng, half of the grain and grass expenses, all need to be supplied by Pingyang Fu, where does Pingyang Fu have such ability, it can only be evenly distributed to some rich and large households in the Fucheng, nominally to borrow some grain, until the tax is collected, or the court has allocated the silver taels, and then return it.

Binh Duong's taxes were also increased, nominally to resist the bandits.

The Su family was no exception, and took out some grain, but fortunately, Su Tiancheng had an unusual identity, so the government was very polite, and the amount of grain borrowed was not much.

In the letter, Su Huawen still mentioned one thing, thinking that Su Tianran would follow him to Jiangning County, after all, the south should be more stable, Su Tianran is here, and there is no need to be afraid.

Su Huawen mentioned an incident that once again aroused Su Tiancheng's dissatisfaction.

It turned out that Su Huawen knew that he had bought a mansion in Jiangning County, and the meaning in the letter was that Su Tianran had come to Jiangning County and could help take care of the mansion, and his own brother was also a lot more relieved.

After reading the letter, Su Tiancheng smiled coldly.

This expression was discovered by Wang Furong.

"Young master, is there something unhappy?"

"There's nothing to do, my father thought, let the second brother come to Jiangning County, isn't there a mansion here, I came to manage it, and it can be regarded as sharing my worries."

After being by Su Tiancheng's side for a long time, Wang Furong has already understood some of the young master's temper.

"Young Master, is the Second Young Master really ready to come?"

"There is no need for this, I live well in Pingyang Fucheng, what are you doing in Jiangning County, I have so many things every day, do I still have to take care of my second brother, he is not young, it is time to worry about his own affairs, he got married last year, and his father always worries about things that he shouldn't worry about."

Wang Furong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Su Tianran came, what should she do, managing this mansion is not shallow, the second young master and the second young grandmother, no matter what, are the masters, and when the time comes, there will be some contradictions in vain.

"Young master, the master said so, I'm afraid I want to send the second young master."

Su Tiancheng looked at Wang Furong and smiled, this girl really has some ideas, it seems that she has grown up slowly.

"Furong, don't think so much, after all, my father wants to ask for my opinion, I don't agree, the second brother will not come, in case he feels that Pingyang Mansion is not safe, then go to Taiyuan Mansion, if it doesn't work, just go directly to the capital, there are many places to go, there is no need to come to Jiangning County."

"Young master, the slave didn't say, don't want the second young master to come to Jiangning County."

"You little girl, don't mean that, or what, if the second brother really comes, you're the master, but it's hard, I don't know what to do, maybe you have to cry in front of me, I don't want to see this happen."

Wang Furong blushed, her chest rested on Su Tiancheng's back, and she stopped talking, her heart was very warm. (To be continued.) )
