Partial peace and the south, not only Su Tiancheng will not agree, but even Zhu Xianxuan and others will not give up, the Great Jin Dynasty is so powerful, the Jiangning battalion is extremely brave, and the soldiers are full of food, under such a favorable situation, if you just want to dominate the south, it is unreasonable.

After discussing how to promote land reform, the next step was to think about the march of troops from the north.

There are two opinions on this, that is, two directions of attack.

The first opinion is that starting from Huguang and Jiangsu Province, the attack on Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places, after taking the northern provinces, the most Lu will attack the northern Zhili, the reason for this opinion is that the use of a gradual approach, this move can well stabilize the situation in Liaodong, so that the Ming court always has a trace of illusions, and when the capital is finally left, the Jiangning camp will be able to control the situation in Liaodong.

The second opinion is that from the direction of Shandong, directly towards the north of Zhili, the target is the capital of the Ming court, and to take the capital as quickly as possible, as long as the capital can be taken, there is a possibility of taking the situation when the south Zhili is taken, the rest of the southern provinces, it is impossible to resist, and there is no strength to resist, can only be surrendered. As for the situation in Liaodong, the problem is not very big, as long as you enter Beizhili as soon as possible, you can also control the situation in Liaodong.

At the beginning, Su Tiancheng also supported the second opinion, and made certain preparations.

The people who can put forward the first opinion are actually Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others.

This made Su Tiancheng attach great importance to it, he knew very well that many civil and military ministers in the court still had a trace of complex in their hearts, that is, they felt guilty about the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to make the Ming Dynasty exist as long as possible. After all, these people were once the civil and military ministers of the Ming court.

This belongs to the category of ideological work, which cannot be ignored, and at least needs to be raised on an appropriate occasion to resolve the knots in the hearts of the ministers of the imperial court.

The problem of the direction of attack is easy to solve, in fact, the Minister of Chinese Wu also understands that directly attacking Beizhili is the best choice, and there are many dreams at night, in case the situation in Liaodong and the grassland becomes uncontrollable, it will be too late to regret it. Therefore, this is Su Tiancheng to explain and appease everyone's hearts, and there will be no big problem.

The key issue is also the latest information that Su Tiancheng has received.

This information came out through Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the Ming Cabinet.

The Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty actually sent Zierharang to arrive in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and proposed to unite with the Ming court. Jointly dealt with the affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the two sides began substantive contacts and negotiations. It is estimated that an agreement will be reached soon.

This was beyond Su Tiancheng's expectations.

Such a crucial piece of news. It was also analyzed by intelligence agencies.

Speaking of intelligence agencies, when he ascended the throne and became emperor, Su Tiancheng once thought of setting up a special intelligence agency, which was subordinate to his direct leadership, but he thought about it. It still doesn't work, this is also because the intelligence agency of the Ming Dynasty is too notorious, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Xichang, leaving only nightmares for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Under such circumstances, it is not easy for Su Tiancheng to openly establish an intelligence agency, and as for institutions such as Jinyiwei, he will definitely abolish them.

Qu Qingze and Su Jun are still directly responsible for intelligence matters, and Qu Qingze has become a cabinet scholar and is in the position of prime minister.

The latest news of Zhilu Dao is only a few people, of course, the people who came to the Qianqing Palace to negotiate are basically Zhilu Dao, and their attitudes are also different.

Among the prime ministers, in addition to Zhang Pu and Qu Qingze, Zhu Xianxuan, Yang Sichang and Fan Jingwen couldn't help but be emotional, and even wanted to scold, Su Tiancheng understood their thoughts, Houjin Tartar has always been a barbarian, what qualifications do they have to put forward the matter of cooperating with the Ming court, as for Zhang Pu and Qu Qingze, they are very rational, thinking that such a thing is not a big deal, in the final analysis, it is all to be able to deal with the Great Jin Dynasty.

The discussion soon began, and the relevant situation was introduced by Qu Qingze himself.

The enthusiasm of the discussion even exceeded Su Tiancheng's expectations.

The first to speak was Xu Eryi.

Xu Eryi is known for his uprightness, and he once refused to yield to Su Tiancheng, which everyone knows, and it is precisely because of this temper that Xu Eryi is desperate, he spoke first, he blushed, first scolded Houjin Tartar, and then launched a personal attack on Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the Ming cabinet, and Chen Xinjia, the second assistant of the cabinet, but unfortunately people can't hear such words at all, but everyone in the Qianqing Palace is listening here, maybe they feel that their words are a little off-topic, Xu Eryi turned to the matter of the Golden Tartar after the union of the Ming Dynasty.

“…… The minister thought that such a union would never work, and the ambition of the Houjin Tartar wolf son, what was the purpose, was very clear, and the minister suggested that the emperor should inform the world of this matter, so that all the people in the world would know, so that the Ming court could not seek skin with the tiger......"

Su Tiancheng was a little dumbfounded, it seems that Xu Eryi still retains the temper of the reader, it is really easy to change the nature of the country, it is time to come, what people value is interests, what do you do so much, besides, if you really tell the world, you will not directly confess Zhou Yanru, such a thing is absolutely impossible to do.

As soon as Xu Eryi finished speaking, Zhu Xianxuan immediately spoke.

"Tell the world that things can not be done, the emperor finally got the information, if it is directly leaked out, wouldn't it be cut off the source of information, this matter must not be, the minister also thinks that the Houjin Tartars are not good-hearted, but the Houjin Tartars and the Ming Dynasty are united, there are indeed some problems, my Jiangning battalion will face a two-front combat situation, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and Gaizhou will be under great pressure, intelligence shows that the Datong border army of 150,000 troops, all mobilized, ready to rush to Baoding and Tianjin, The Ming court also recruited nearly 100,000 soldiers from the Weisuo army, and there were more than 200,000. ”

"The minister has carefully considered it, the biggest purpose of the Houjin Tartars' move is probably to think that the Ming Dynasty can dispatch the Liaodong border army, in this case, the pressure of the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong will be greatly reduced, no matter who wins this battle, the Houjin Tartars will be able to get benefits."

"In the direction of Gaizhou, Houjin Tartar can completely defend as an attack, not to carry out a real attack, and gather heavy troops to threaten my Jiangning battalion, in Beizhili, my Jiangning battalion and the Ming army launched a fierce fight, Houjin Tartar must think that the two tigers will fight, there must be an injury, and then they can sit and reap the profits......"

Zhu Xianxuan said that Su Tiancheng nodded, and the rest of the people listened very carefully, and they also nodded frequently.

You must know that Zhu Xianxuan is the Shangshu Order of Shangshu Province, the head of the hundred officials, or the head of the cabinet, if you don't have real ability, it is not possible to sit in this position.

The discussion continued, Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng also expressed their position, for the union of the Houjin Tartars and the Ming court, they have their own views, they don't care too much, they think that the Houjin Tartars will not really attack, the degree of wait-and-see is the majority, once the Ming army loses in Beizhili, the Houjin Tartars will quickly occupy Liaodong and expand their own strength, if the Ming army has achieved a certain advantage, the Houjin Tartars will launch an attack in the direction of Gaizhou.

Su Tiancheng has been listening very carefully, and finally it is time for him to make a decision.

"Your analysis is very accurate, I have been thinking, before Lord Xu vented his grievances, it is estimated that you all have such grievances, but I think it is not a big deal, in the face of life-and-death interests, the solar terms need to be compromised, the Ming Dynasty must have thought of it, if it loses the capital, loses the country, it is useless to say anything, so I think that the union of the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin will definitely succeed."

"It's a pity that the foundation of this union is not solid, the so-called foundation is not solid, the earth is shaking, the Houjin Tartars from the very beginning are with the intention of seeking profits, my Jiangning battalion occupies Zhejiang, Fujian and other places, when attacking Nanzhili, Houjin's Dolgon is entrenched in Liaodong, and even crossed the Liao River, ready to attack, this is only a long time, the attitude has completely changed, interesting."

"I have long said that Huang Taiji is not a simple person, and everything he does is far-reaching, if the Houjin Tartars attack from Liaodong, they will definitely be able to obtain the greatest benefits, and even be able to occupy Liaodong and threaten the capital of the Ming Dynasty, at least they will be able to loot countless wealth, but Huang Taiji gave up decisively and ordered Dolgon to withdraw from Liaodong and go to Yaozhou and Haizhou to assemble again, ordinary people can't make such a decision."

"Huang Taiji looks far away, and what he seeks is also the greatest benefit, just now Master Zhu said, Huang Taiji sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, thinking that the Liaodong border army could fight with my Jiangning camp, in fact, Huang Taiji also thought that once I unified the Central Plains in the Great Jin, how could I let go of his Houjin Tartars, including the Mongolian steppe, so he did this, which is also a way to protect himself."

"Everyone has analyzed the pros and cons here, so don't be too nervous, I mean, the direction of Gaizhou, still maintain the original pattern, no matter how bluff Dolgon is, don't pay attention to it, concentrate the army to take Beizhili, and then take the Daming capital, once the Daming capital is taken, the Jiangning battalion will control the Guanning Jin defense line in Liaodong as quickly as possible, and at that time, no matter what kind of plan Huang Taiji makes, the Jiangning battalion will completely exterminate the Houjin Tartar ......"

Su Tiancheng began to talk about the specific deployment, in fact, there was no change, or according to the previous idea, concentrate 100,000 troops to attack Beizhili, in addition, Lu Xiangsheng led 40,000 troops, entered Henan Mansion, and took advantage of the situation to take Henan, Shaanxi and Shanxi and other places, there is no strong army in these places, and the troops of the local guard station are vulnerable to one attack, so they can attack from both sides, and they can also unify the north as soon as possible.
