The war has not yet started, public opinion goes first, this seems to meet the requirements of the war hundreds of years later, Su Tiancheng who crossed is very clear about the reason, what he did was actually to overthrow the dynasty controlled by Zhu Youzhen, to grasp the power himself, to carry out a thorough transformation of the country, so that the Ming Dynasty began to develop the economy on a large scale, began to expand and influence on a large scale, and made the Ming Dynasty become a giant in the world, even more than the influence of the Han and Tang dynasties in the world. But at this time in the Ming Dynasty, such an idea was a little puzzling, and even reprimanded Su Tiancheng for hypocrisy.

However, Su Tiancheng does not regret doing this, the reason why he made these efforts is that on the one hand, he wants to be able to obtain the greatest benefits in it, and on the other hand, he also thinks of the interests of the people, so that the people can live in peace and stability, and try to avoid losses.

History is written by the victors, and Su Tiancheng is very clear about this truth.

The effect of public opinion is so great that no one expected it.

Liu Tiehan ordered the scouts to take a special walk out of the news, saying that many rich people in Fujian were engaged in smuggling activities at sea, selling illicit salt, etc., and had accumulated huge wealth, and the imperial court had suffered huge losses, and at the same time, the local government also united with these rich people to fish and flesh the common people, so Jiang Ningying came to Fujian to liquidate these rich people and know the scum in the government.

The news began to go viral, and even ordinary people knew about it.

At the same time, more people began to concentrate in Changle County, these people are all young and strong, and their identities can be accurately determined, that is, the guards of many rich people, and the security of Changle County has also begun to be unprecedentedly strict.

It was at this time. Su Tiancheng made a decision to let the army retreat ten miles, showing a situation of showing weakness.

Lu Xiangsheng and others don't understand this measure very well, in their opinion, the rich man's guard is nothing. It's not a fart in front of the Jiangning battalion, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are well-trained, and the guards of many rich people are just a rabble.

But Su Tiancheng has his own plans, the army retreats ten miles, in fact, it is a harbinger of action, Su Tiancheng is just thinking about attracting more guards to arrive in Changle County, thinking about using this fight to exterminate the vitality of Fujian's rich people to the greatest extent. Lay a solid foundation for the subsequent liquidation.

Su Tiancheng and Lu Xiangsheng and others have different views, Lu Xiangsheng and others think that the imperial court still has the greatest influence, even if the businessman is rich, if he does not do things according to the requirements of the government, it is very simple to be liquidated, and Shen Wansan, who is in the Ming place, how rich he will be. If it's not the emperor's words, there is nothing. It's a pity that Su Tiancheng doesn't see it this way, because he has hundreds of years of experience.

Shen Wansan in the Ming Dynasty was in a different situation, and the Ming Dynasty at that time was very strong, and the army under his control was experienced in a hundred battles. The emperor is also the founding monarch Zhu Yuanzhang, and his ability is not comparable to ordinary kings, so Zhu Yuanzhang did it, and Shen Wansan only had to wait for death, but now the situation is different. The Ming Dynasty is full of holes, Zhu Youzhen worked very hard, thinking about changing the situation of the decline of the Ming Dynasty, but the effect was not good, the armies everywhere had the meaning of supporting the army and respecting themselves, although Su Tiancheng made great efforts, but these efforts had a certain impact in the north.

Fujian's tycoons have long formed a huge force, in the eyes of these tycoons, the government is the object of their co-optation and use, as for the army of the guard, vulnerable to a blow, as long as they are willing, they can exterminate the army of the guard at any time, and the rich people in Fujian have experienced too many things, the Jiajing period of the Japanese rebellion, and then Zheng Zhilong monopolized the sea area, etc., after these things, many tycoons believe that only by uniting can they really have a strong force, and it is possible to confront the government to a certain extent, If they strive for their own interests, even if they completely collapse with the government, it is a big deal to leave here and develop overseas, so that they will submit like ordinary people, they will not do it.

In fact, this is the germ of capitalism, and it is also the inevitable law of social development, unless the government consumes huge manpower and material resources and mobilizes the state apparatus to eliminate this force.

It is impossible for Lu Xiangsheng and others to know these understandings, so in terms of exterminating the rich in Fujian, Su Tiancheng made the decision directly by himself, including killing the rich and seizing their wealth.

The time is soon to the end of the first month, the climate in the south is different from the north, the end of the first month is already very warm, the soldiers do not need to wear cotton jackets, when the sun comes out, they can even wear single clothes, remove the bloated cotton jackets, when the soldiers kill the enemy, it is better to perform.

The scout reported again, Changle County has been put on guard, all personnel in and out of the county, need to have a certificate from the county government or the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they are not allowed to enter and exit the city gate, the city gate is open every day, shortened to two hours, the county has concentrated a large number of guards, these guards have begun to guard the city gate, patrol in the county and so on.

After the scout reported the situation, Su Tiancheng's face showed a comfortable expression.

Lu Xiangsheng and the others saw Su Tiancheng's expression, and knew that the time was ripe, and it was close to ten days, and a large number of guards entered the county seat of Changle County, Su Tiancheng did not stop it, and let it in, but when facing the personnel who left Changle County, it was very strict, and checkpoints were set up on the official road and several roads nearby, and ordinary people were all let go, and those who were in contact with the merchants were all detained, and the officials of the government were the same, and they were not allowed to leave Changle County at all.

"You all know the road, the second dragon in February raised its head, the meaning of this festival, you are clear, the spring ploughing season is coming, the people expect a year of wind and rain, but I know a story of the road, when Wu Zetian replaced the Tang Dynasty and established the Great Zhou Dynasty, this move angered the Jade Emperor in the sky, ordered the dragon king to not rain for three years, but the dragon king could not bear to suffer the miserable, could not bear the suffering of the people, so secretly rained, was noticed by the Jade Emperor, arrested and imprisoned, the people knew, began to pray to God, Don't punish the dragon king, after which the Jade Emperor thanked the people for their sincerity and released the dragon king. ”

"The truth of this allusion, we won't say, but there is one point, what the Dragon King did was for the dawn of the people, what we are doing now, isn't it the same as the Dragon King, but there is one thing I want to remind you, we also have the Jade Emperor above, but the Jade Emperor's decision is incorrect, or it is mediocre, we must resist, we must not bow down, since the Jade Emperor is confused, then we should not be polite to the Jade Emperor, we will make our own decisions."

Everyone was very quiet and listened very carefully, they had already understood that Su Tiancheng was probably going to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and these words were very clear.

"Before, I ordered the army to retreat ten miles, you don't understand it very well, now I will explain, our soldiers, after years of conquest, fighting with the rogues, and fighting bloody battles with the Houjin Tartars, they have the capital and emotions of pride, but I will not openly stop this pride, this is the pride they won with their strength, but I need to remind our soldiers that in the face of any battle, we cannot have the psychology of despising the opponent, these days, I have felt that our soldiers are very contemptuous of the opponent, Including many of you, think that the guards of those rich people are just a rabble, and it is very simple to take, because we took the plum blossom institute in front of us, and almost did not do it, some people think that the conquest in Fujian will be very simple, maybe the situation is indeed like this, but the accident is not nothing, if these guards are very brave, if they have the support of many people in Changle County, the situation will be different, so I want to suppress the pride of the soldiers. ”

"The time is ripe, tomorrow when the time begins to attack Changle County, take it in half a day, the rich people in Changle County, you are all clear, I still say the same sentence, no indiscriminate killing of innocents, no robbery of the people, tomorrow to take Changle County, to be in one go, He Renlong led 15,000 soldiers, responsible for the attack, Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong participated in the attack."

"Liu Tiehan, you lead the scout battalion, after breaking through the county seat, the focus is on exterminating the rich people in the county, seizing their property, remember what I said, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, the officials of the Changle County Ya seem to be in the same stream with these rich people, you are not polite, you all remember, Lord Lu and I don't want to see the magistrate, the county Cheng, the lord Bo and others."

"The tactical arrangement for tomorrow's siege is still that the artillery battalion will attack first, and according to the tactics we used when we attacked Dalinghe City, we will blow up the city wall, but we are not allowed to bomb the county seat."

"Remember, this is our first battle in Fujian, although Qu Qingze and Xiong Zijian have begun to conquer in Xinghua Mansion, but our army, the responsibility is the heaviest, the result of our expedition is directly related to whether we can lead Fujian well, I don't want to have a tragic situation of thousands of miles of uninhabited, that will bring huge trouble to our governance, but I also don't want to see Fujian's bandits rampant, my requirements are very high, please you."

Lu Xiangsheng stayed, and the rest of the people went to prepare, Su Tiancheng's arrangement just now, Lu Xiangsheng didn't take on any tasks, Lu Xiangsheng has one of the biggest benefits, once he decides to take refuge in Su Tiancheng, he will do his best to do things, what Su Tiancheng said just now, he completely understands the meaning.

"My lord, the lower officials feel that it will be difficult to avoid losses in the conquest, if every expedition, the adults are like this, I am afraid that it will tie the hands and feet of the soldiers."

"I understand what you mean, in fact, the focus is on protecting ordinary people, as for officials, scholars, etc., they don't necessarily have to protect, maybe you won't understand now, but soon, you will be clear, why do I have such a request." (To be continued......)
