The problem of the vassal king is only one aspect, there are more problems that need to be dealt with, or arranged, Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng have made it clear that they are willing to do things, Yang Sichang is the former cabinet chief assistant, which has a great influence, and he is also very familiar with how to act in government affairs, it is said that such a person can be used with confidence, but Su Tiancheng can not be completely assured, this is not to suspect that Yang Sichang has different intentions, or that when doing things, he will be biased towards the imperial court, the key is Yang Sichang's understandingAfter all, Yang Sichang entered the imperial court through the imperial examination, and some practices in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou are not very adaptable, for example, the requirements for the four levels of Shinong industry and commerce are the previous understanding, that is, the status of businessmen is the lowest, and it must be strictly managed, which cannot be said to be Yang Sichang's mistake, the system of the Ming Dynasty is like this, in this era, no one really understands the power of capital.

Don't say that Yang Sichang and Zhu Xianxuan have a process of transformation, but Zhu Xianxuan's status is different, and his understanding is different, he is wholeheartedly doing things for Su Tiancheng, since he has been in charge of money, Zhu Xianxuan has fully realized that nothing can be done without silver, and the silver of the Governor's Mansion is spent every day, and it must be supported by a fairly high tax. There is no such thing as looking down on businessmen.

Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng could only temporarily let Yang Sichang have a on-the-spot understanding of the relevant situation in Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, and use facts to infect Yang Sichang, so that Yang Sichang could realize the importance of commerce and trade, and realize the correctness of the current policies implemented in Dengzhou and other places. Only when Yang Sichang truly changes his understanding from the heart can he play a positive role.

Lu Xiangsheng's arrangement is easy to say. Follow Su Tiancheng to Fujian.

Wu Sangui finally got his wish, and after the selection of sergeants, he entered the Jiangning battalion again, this time as the commander of the second battalion of the Jiangning battalion infantry battalion, which was equivalent to entering the upper echelons of the Jiangning battalion.

The Jiangning battalion has always been very cautious in appointing high-ranking officers. For so many years, the officers at the level of the guard commander have hardly moved, and the guard commander of the Jiangning battalion is not the same as the guard commander of the local guard station, and in some places, the guard commander and the sergeant under his jurisdiction may only be a few hundred, but thousands of people are very good. However, the commander of the Jiangning battalion was different, the army under his command was close to 10,000 people, and in addition to the frequent conquests of the Jiangning battalion, sometimes, the deployment of the campaign was determined, and the commander of the guard took on the task alone, commanded tens of thousands of troops to fight, and even commanded a single aspect of the battle.

Speaking of which. The commander of the Jiangning battalion had even more resources at his disposal than the general army.

More than a decade has passed. Except for the Jiangning Battalion when it was first established, the team continued to grow, but the officers who really entered the level of Wei Commander were only a few people, Di Huaixiang, Qin Rui, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, etc. Among them, Liu Wenxiu and three others, together with Wu Sangui, were appointed as the commander of the Jiangning battalion.

As a brave and huge army, the command level of the Jiangning battalion is very clear, and the commander of the army is Su Tiancheng, and there is no supervising army. Next is Hong Chengchou, equivalent to the deputy marshal, Qu Qingze's position is very special, equivalent to the chief of staff of the Jiangning battalion, and the next layer is Sun Chuanting and Bi Maokang, who are in charge of different aspects, and then there are many Wei commanders, who are responsible for commanding their respective armies.

But the military regulations of the Jiangning battalion are also very clear, the subordinates obey the superiors, and no disobedience is allowed, and it is impossible to have the disadvantages of mercenary self-respect, Wu Sangui is very emotional in this regard, close to 150,000 troops, it is really not easy to be able to prohibit orders and military orders, so he is also more aware of Su Tiancheng's ability, put away that careful thinking, and honestly follow Su Tiancheng to work hard, there will always be a good future.

This time, Wu Sangui received an order to prepare for the expedition and go to Fujian, and the commander of the army was Su Tiancheng.

The countdown to departure has begun, and the relevant arrangements must be fully implemented.

The 50,000 army was divided into two parts, Hong Chengchou led the 30,000 army, through Henan Province, directly into Zhejiang Province, temporarily avoiding Nanzhili, Su Tiancheng led 20,000 troops, by boat into Quanzhou, Fujian, when the time came, Wang Dazhi, who was stationed in Taiwan, would also lead part of the Jiangning battalion soldiers to Quanzhou and make peace with Su Tiancheng.

How to manage the island of Taiwan, Su Tiancheng's idea has changed, he used to prepare to take the island of Taiwan as the final foothold, once he has a conflict with the imperial court, he will control the island of Taiwan and develop in the direction of Luzon and Southeast Asia, but now it is different, Su Tiancheng's determination is to control the big tomorrow. But the island of Taiwan is very important, especially in the current situation, Su Tiancheng focuses on relying on maritime trade, the goods shipped out of Daming, and the goods shipped in from overseas, almost all of them are under Su Tiancheng's control, the huge price difference here is the source of Su Tiancheng's profits, which is similar to the tariffs hundreds of years later, since Xiong Zijian was stationed in Quanzhou, Fujian, echoing Dengzhou, the sailors to which the Jiangning battalion belongs, completely control the sea area, foreign businessmen, unless they are honest business, Thinking about evading taxes, or thinking about smuggling, once it is discovered, it is a situation of both people and money, and in front of the powerful sailors, everyone is honest, and the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese warships dare not show their teeth in front of the Jiangning Camp sailors, let alone the possible pirates.

If you control Taiwan, you will completely control the Taiwan Strait, and Taiwan, as a key trading and transit location, will play an increasingly important role in the future, and once Su Tiancheng begins to expand abroad, Taiwan's huge role will be fully displayed.

For a long time, the task of the Jiangning battalion has been mainly carried out by He Renlong, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo's commanders, and some of the previous commanders of the guards have gradually begun to focus on stationing and guarding, which is also what Su Tiancheng meant, he is good at discovering talents.

After Lu Xiangsheng followed Su Tiancheng, he once mentioned Zu Dashou and Zu Dale, saying that when he left Liaodong, these two people insisted on coming to Dengzhou with him, but the court did not allow it, and the two could not leave. In fact, thinking about the officers who came to Dengzhou, there are still many people, Zuo Liangyu, who is stationed in Wuchang, has been thinking about entering the Jiangning camp for many years, but if these people want to enter the Jiangning camp, it depends on Su Tiancheng's attitude.

This time, the Jiangning battalion was divided into two armies, Qu Qingze, He Renlong, Liu Tiehan and Wu Sangui followed Su Tiancheng into Fujian by boat, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo followed Hong Chengchou into Zhejiang, and the rest stayed in Dengzhou and other places.

The division of labor in the Governor's Mansion is also very clear, Zhu Xianxuan is fully responsible, including the entire Shandong, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou, Taiwan and even Quanzhou and other places, Yang Sichang is mainly responsible for people's livelihood matters, Zhang Pu is mainly responsible for business and trade matters, Su Jun and Su Ertong stay in the Governor's Mansion, one of the most important changes is that Su Jun became Qu Qingze's deputy and began to be in charge of intelligence matters, for a long time Qu Qingze was responsible for intelligence matters alone, but with the change of the situation, The intelligence system continues to grow and develop, and it is impossible for Qu Qingze to be busy alone, Qu Qingze took a fancy to Su Jun, thinking that Su Jun is flexible and can do a good job in intelligence work, of course, Su Jun's identity is more reassuring, and he was originally a subordinate of Su Mansion.

As for Fuzhou County, the focus is also different, Jinan, Yanzhou, and Dongchangfu, the main task is to solve the matter of land annexation, clarify the taxation of land, on the occasion of the Spring Festival, do a good job in the spring plowing and preparation for the coming year, and solve the many difficulties encountered by the common people, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou, the focus is to adjust the layout of commerce and trade, and appropriately start to tilt towards Jinan Prefecture and other places, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou and other places, the key task is to do a good job in defense.

In addition, the matter of relief to the victims of the disaster cannot be relaxed.

The officials of Fuzhou County have figured out their responsibilities and done things according to the requirements, and the officials of the entire Shandong have greatly improved their salaries, and they have more money in their hands, and the requirements for doing things are different, and they must be much stricter.

Before Su Tiancheng left Dengzhou, two things were done, which made him very pleased, which was a very good start.

The first thing is the question of the establishment of the school, after the suggestion of Zhu Xianxuan and Qu Qingze and others, temporarily establish a comprehensive school, the location of the school is in Dengzhou, less than ten miles away from the capital city, in the future, most of the officials in Shandong and other places will be produced from this school, and the gentleman of the school is also very complicated, there are old stubborn Xu Eryi, there are many foreigners from overseas, and even the so-called Japanese from Japan, the person in charge of the school is temporarily concurrently served by Deng Hui, the prefect of Dengzhou.

Su Tiancheng put Xu Eryi in the school, just to let Xu Eryi feel it well, or to be sharpened, he believed that after a period of time, Xu Eryi could completely change his concept.

There are many kinds of education in the school, but the most important thing is the education on the concept, the idea of obedience and service, which runs through the whole teaching.

The second thing, Zhu Xianxuan properly solved the problem of the vassal king, King Lu and King De are honest, maybe the situation in Shandong is no longer the same, the two naturally understand the direction of the wind, what surprised Su Tiancheng the most is that both of them sold the annexed land at a very low price in accordance with the requirements of the government, which surprised the scholars in Shandong, the royal family and clan relatives have sold the annexed land, if they continue to insist, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

Su Tianhao and Xu Jili also sent letters to inform Jinan and Yanzhou that many matters were progressing much faster.

Development is inevitable, and things can never be done, but Su Tiancheng has been able to leave Dengzhou with peace of mind and expand his territory. (To be continued......)
