On November 10 of the first year of the Great Jin Dynasty, that is, in 1643 AD, the expedition began again.

Although the Great Jin Dynasty is still working hard to liquidate the land and comprehensively implement the policy of land leasing to farmers, although there is still bloodshed in some places, in order to clarify the ownership of the land, there are still people who dare to work against the imperial court, but Su Tiancheng can no longer wait, from the capture of Nanzhili to the enthronement of the emperor, to the temporary stabilization of the Great Jin Dynasty, it has been delayed for several months.

Qian Qianyi and others and settled, for the rectification of Donglin Academy, also officially began, responsible for this matter is actually the right capital of the Imperial Envoy Xu Eryi, it can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the renovation of the academy, Su Tiancheng's idea is to change Donglin Academy into a place for pure teaching and educating people, he took into account the pilot and in a point-to-point way, after running Donglin Academy, it began to widely promote the mode of government running schools in various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In addition, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou also rushed to Nanjing, and Su Tiancheng talked to them, and the two agreed with Su Tiancheng's view that there was a need for scholars who specialized in learning and teaching and educating people.

Located in Dengzhou, the school specializing in the training of officials, also all moved to Nanjing, this school can not be separated from the imperial court, Su Tiancheng personally named the school, called it the Great Jin Education and Training Institute, the court officials all understand, this training and education college, the status is more important than the Ming Dynasty Imperial Court, want to enter this academy, it is not so simple, people who can come out of this academy, all are officials at all levels of the Great Jin Dynasty. In this sense, it is quite similar to the Hanlin Temple.

However, this education and training college is very different from the Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in terms of internal personnel settings, except for the dean and vice president of the college, the rest of the people are called professors. Specializing in teaching and educating people, there is no rank, and he is not an official, and the dean of the college is concurrently served by Zhu Xianxuan, which highlights the unusual status of the college, resulting in the professors of the college. It also has an unusual status.

The issue of education is a problem that Su Tiancheng attaches great importance to, and it is also a problem that will never be ignored, the situation that the educated elites are all concentrated in the officialdom is definitely not the best model, Su Tiancheng hopes that through his own efforts, he will gradually change this deformed concept, of course, it will take time to do this. After all, it is difficult for the people's minds to be completely swayed.

Su Tiancheng decided to drive the expedition in person, his request, met with very weak opposition, the civil and military ministers of the court all knew that Su Tiancheng is the soul of the Jiangning battalion, as long as Su Tiancheng is in the army, the morale of the soldiers is particularly high, not to mention now. Su Tiancheng is already the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is in charge. The encouragement given to the soldiers is very unusual.

The internal affairs of the imperial court were all in charge of Zhu Xianxuan, assisted by Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others, and Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze and others all followed Su Tiancheng to conquer.

Before the conquest. Su Tiancheng specifically talked about the money village and the ticket number, which made Zhu Xianxuan and others a little strange, I don't know why Su Tiancheng thought of the money village and the ticket number, these are all shops opened by businessmen for the convenience of doing business. Of course, Su Tiancheng would not force Zhu Xianxuan to understand the truth in this. But as a person who travels through, he knows very well that the money bank and the ticket number are actually the prototype of the bank, and if you want to really develop the economy and develop commerce, you can't do without the bank, and the role of the bank is huge, and it will play a decisive role in promoting the development of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The Great Jin Dynasty has not yet unified the world, so the opening of a bank can only be planned, and there is a certain degree of difficulty, but the preparatory work must be carried out, the bank must be directly controlled by the imperial court, and the issuance of currency must be guaranteed by the state. Su Tiancheng's best candidate for president in his heart is Song Sijun, for this reason, Song Sijun, who is in Taiwan, has come to Nanjing, Su Tiancheng told Song Sijun in detail about his own considerations, this huge idea, Song Sijun was dumbfounded, he has been doing business for so many years, and there is a lot of contact with officialdom, he doesn't know how Su Tiancheng can think of such a wonderful business.

After arranging everything, Su Tiancheng set off from Nanjing and rushed to Shandong.

In everyone's mind, Su Tiancheng is already the emperor, and the royal expedition must have a very grand ceremony, but unfortunately when Su Tiancheng set off, he did not hold any ceremony, and all the honor guards that the emperor needed to prepare for his trip were all exempted, Su Tiancheng's reason is very simple, the army expedition is to go out to fight, not to show pomp, what is needed on the battlefield is the morale of the soldiers, what is needed is sufficient guarantee in logistics, and his expedition this time is no different from before.

The power of the example is endless, Su Tiancheng took the lead, not to mention the officers and soldiers below, the emperor doesn't talk about any pomp, what kind of privileges can they have.

The 100,000 troops of the Jiangning battalion, most of them have arrived in Dezhou, which belongs to Jinan Mansion in Shandong Province, starting from Dezhou, you can enter Jingzhou in half a day to belong to the North Zhili Hejian Mansion, the direction of the army is through Cangzhou, straight to Tianjin, at the same time, Sun Chuanting led the water division, starting from Dengzhou, but also directly arrived in Tianjin, after the two armies met in Tianjin, entered Shuntianfu, and directly captured the Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Beijing City.

More than 200,000 troops mobilized by the Ming Dynasty have been stationed in Baoding Mansion, stationed in Xincheng and Gaoyang, to which Baoding Mansion belongs, and the army stationed in Xincheng is also focused on defending Tianjin and other places, as for the army stationed in Gaoyang, the focus is to defend Zhending Mansion and Hejian Mansion, as for Shunde Mansion and Daming Mansion, which are somewhat far away from the capital, because of the border with Shandong, the imperial army has no time to take care of it, which also reveals the fear and helplessness of the Ming Dynasty to the Jiangning camp.

The deployment of the Ming army made Su Tiancheng feel funny, the garrison of the army was either stationed at the border pass, ready to fight at any time, or stationed near the Beijing Division, focusing on defending the capital, but the 200,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty were stationed in Baoding's Xincheng and Gaoyang, which really made people unable to understand the meaning, to find an explanation, that is, the more than 200,000 Ming troops, if they found any trouble, they were ready to withdraw to Shuntianfu at any time to protect the Beijing Division.

Su Tiancheng led some of the officers and sergeants. It took only four days to arrive in Texas.

Sleeping in the open along the way, Su Tiancheng was the same as before, he did not become the emperor because of his accession to the throne, and there was no difference, it was Hong Chengchou who directly commanded the army to fight. At the beginning of the departure, Hong Chengchou was still more worried, firstly, the emperor was able to command the army to fight, and he was able to achieve victory every time, and secondly, the majesty of the emperor was unusual, in case there was anything careless, which made the emperor feel bored, and the impact on the later battles was great.

Hong Chengchou thought too much, and Su Tiancheng didn't have any changes. As before, in the process of marching, the horses galloped, and Wu Rong and some of the internal guards were still around him, and in the process of marching, Su Tiancheng still discussed with Hong Chengchou about the specific combat deployment to see if there was anything that was not taken into account, and Su Tiancheng also said it specifically. In the future, they will not be directly involved in the fighting, so as not to disrupt the deployment. It also confuses officers at all levels, and spends most of their energy to protect his safety, and whether the battle is won or not is not the most important issue.

After several discussions, Hong Chengchou was completely relieved and began to command boldly with confidence. Several times he was ready to take care of the emperor, but the emperor refused, especially in terms of diet and daily life, Su Tiancheng asked the same as the soldiers, there should be no difference. Not to mention what palace kitchen to prepare meals, the palace kitchen, originally the queen mother was worried about the emperor's body, specifically asked to follow the army, now it's good, there is nothing to do, every day riding a horse to follow the rush, but the body is well exercised.

The governor of Texas has long been prepared, he didn't know that the emperor would come to Texas and would drive the expedition in person, so he didn't make so many preparations, but Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze both had to come to Texas, the two of them were prime ministers, and they could never be lazy in terms of hospitality, otherwise he would not be happy with this little Zhizhou.

Entering the state city of Texas, Su Tiancheng's face was not very good-looking.

There are no passers-by on the street, empty, obviously made special preparations, followed by Zhizhou, wiping sweat while walking, secretly glad that the city of Zhoucheng is under martial law, otherwise the emperor is coming, it is still so noisy, it is not easy to explain, and Dezhou is close to Hejian Mansion, which belongs to Beizhili, and the personnel here are also more complicated.

The situation in Shandong is very different from that in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Yingtianfu and other places, and the officials here have long been familiar with what should be done, and the money they get in their hands is also different, and they absolutely dare not do anything to oppress the people for no reason.

Entering the official post, Hong Chengchou saw that Su Tiancheng's face was not very good, and understood what it was for, so he didn't wait for Zhizhou to come to report, so he spoke directly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the governor of Texas is doing a good job, the emperor drove the expedition in person and came to Texas, if something happens, the governor can't take responsibility, and the necessary vigilance must be done."

Qu Qingze on the side also thinks that Zhizhou is doing the right thing, and he will do the same.

Hong Chengchou and Qu Qingze both said that Su Tiancheng is not good at losing his temper.

When eating, the banquet was okay, but it was definitely not luxurious, seeing the wine banquet that was ready, Su Tiancheng finally smiled, he called Zhizhou, and told Zhizhou that in the future, officials at all levels will come to Dezhou, and the reception is not allowed to exceed the standard, and if possible, try not to do anything under martial law, so as not to disturb the people.

Zhizhou nodded again and again, this is equivalent to getting the emperor's praise, and it is impossible to imagine it for the Ming court.

Su Tiancheng listened very carefully, and from time to time expressed praise for Zhizhou's diligent administration for the people.

Soon after, this governor was directly promoted to Jiangsu and served as the prefect.

Su Tiancheng will not know the way, his seemingly inadvertent move has had a huge impact, officials at all levels of the Great Jin Dynasty know the way, the emperor is most willing to hear is to report on government affairs, as long as the government affairs are good, you can get the emperor's praise, can be promoted, the emperor is the last thing to see, is to disturb the people and waste, if you commit such a taboo, don't think about getting promoted.

Of course, Su Tiancheng must have thoroughly understood the situation in Texas, and he affirmed the ability of this Zhizhou, so he promoted this Zhizhou. (To be continued......)
