It is very easy to clarify ambitions, sometimes I am excited, and I show it unconsciously, but if I really want to do it, it is not so simple, Su Tiancheng is very clear, since he has decided to dominate the Ming Dynasty, it means that he will face more difficulties and obstacles, and he needs more careful thinking and wise decisions. It is precisely for this reason that after Su Tiancheng crossed over, he never thought that he would be able to establish himself as a king, be able to dominate everything in the Ming Dynasty, and be able to climb to the highest peak.

Before the crossing, Su Tiancheng was a person in the system, between hearing and witnessing, he was obedient in terms of personality, and he also maintained orthodoxy, but after more than ten years of crossing, he was about to start rebelling, and he wanted to dominate everything, which fully confirmed the sentence, the times create heroes, and many things are forced to do it.

Zhu Youzhen's holy decree was transferred from Liaodong, and the content of the holy decree did not exceed Su Tiancheng's imagination, it was nothing more than to praise the Battle of Gaizhou and the Battle of Liaodong, and then asked Su Tiancheng to lead the army and continue to conquer the Houjin Tartars until they were completely wiped out, and not to give the Houjin Tartars a chance.

A day later, Su Tiancheng received another holy decree, this holy decree was issued to the world, with Su Tiancheng's recital, the emperor agreed to Su Tiancheng's request, and ordered Zhu Xianxuan to inspect Dengzhou, and again asked Su Tiancheng to rush to Liaodong to exterminate the Houjin Tartar.

Zhu Youzhen actually announced Su Tiancheng's twists and turns to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, which was somewhat unexpected by Su Tiancheng, this hand has a profound meaning, it is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, this is not Zhu Youzhen's gift to him, but the beginning of the duel.

Su Tiancheng once wrote a secret letter to Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet. Talking about the measures that the Houjin Tartars are likely to make peace and ask for submission, this secret letter makes it clear the harm of accepting peace, when writing this secret letter, Su Tiancheng still started from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty as a whole, and did not fully consider the individual, but things have developed to this point. He had to think it through.

The Governor's Chamber.

Zhu Xianxuan, Hong Chengchou, Qu Qingze and others are all here, and the matters to be discussed today are very important, so the outside of the wing room is guarded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and no unrelated personnel are close.

After Zhu Xianxuan came to Dengzhou, it was impossible to be idle, and Su Tiancheng could not show so much concern, he needed competent personnel, Zhu Xianxuan's arrival. This problem is largely solved. It is said that Zhu Xianxuan does not have any position, and the imperial court did not make it clear that Zhu Xianxuan is the inspector of the imperial history, and the meaning of the holy decree is quite vague, but Su Tiancheng does not care so much, Zhu Xianxuan is directly responsible for the daily affairs of the governor's mansion, which is equivalent to the position of the governor and the governor, and the power is very great, and it is necessary to know that Lu Dao Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou, Gaizhou, Fujian Quanzhou and Taiwan. These places were completely in accordance with the edicts of the Governor's Office, and the decrees and edicts of the imperial court had no effect in these places.

Zhu Xianxuan knew all the circumstances. directly assumed the responsibility, and since then he has officially disclosed his identity and has become one of Su Tiancheng's most powerful assistants, and one of the most important assistants.

Zhu Youzhen's two holy decrees, several people have read them several times, and the analysis of the content of the holy decrees. It is also basically clear that the next thing that needs to be discussed is what measures should be taken in response to the holy decree.

When it comes to what to do next, Su Tiancheng must be the first to come up with his opinion. The people came to take counsel.

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone and slowly spoke.

"In the past, my considerations, or to start from the overall situation, first to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, completely destroy the Houjin Tartars' regime, so that my Ming Dynasty has no external troubles, now it seems that this goal wants to be achieved, it is not a particularly difficult thing, Jiangning Battalion, Liaodong Border Army and Datong Border Army, continue to conquer the Houjin Tartars, in one go, to achieve the final victory, not a particularly distant thing, the strength of the Houjin Tartars is greatly damaged, financial resources are not good, in the most difficult time, it is our opportunity, but now it seems that such a choice, I'm afraid it's not the best choice. ”

"I have estimated that in such a situation, Huang Taiji will definitely try his best to negotiate peace and express his submission to the imperial court, and at this time, the imperial court is eager to make the Houjin Tartars surrender and free up their hands to deal with me, so I wrote a secret letter to Yang Sichang to prevent this from happening, and the emperor's clear decree made my decision shaken."

"We continue to conquer the Houjin Tartars, we need to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and we need huge financial support, I'm afraid that from now on, the imperial court will not take out a tael of silver, and the imperial court can't wait for my strength to be exhausted, so they can sit and reap the profits, and the Jiangning camp can't support it, they want to deal with me, it's too easy."

"So I seriously considered it, since the Houjin Tartars may bow down to the vassals, then let the imperial court and the Houjin Tartars be intimate, and let the imperial court turn around against me, I once said that the outside must first be at ease, and the internal cannot be united and stable, even if the Houjin Tartars are exterminated, it is impossible to completely stabilize the results, I think, from now on, we suspend the deployment of the extermination of the Houjin Tartars."

"The next thing is what we should do, it is impossible to wait in Dengzhou, we need to expand our strength, we need to strengthen ourselves, we need to deal with all the attacks from the imperial court, and we need to expand our territory, I have taken into account two aspects, and we must do a good job during the year."

"The first aspect is to dominate Shandong."

"This is the most important step, the location of Shandong is very important, for us, it is also of decisive significance, as long as we can occupy the whole of Shandong, our strength will be able to be orderly growth, you see, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and Gaizhou and other places, has been firmly controlled by us, the officials in these places, but also sent by the governor's office, the imperial court did not care about such things, at the same time we control the Bohai Bay, we control the sailors, can control all the sea areas of the Ming Dynasty, we have consolidated our position in Shandong, we will be able to gradually drive all the sea areas, and we will be able to get the maximum financial resources for the growth of our strength. ”

"The second aspect is to rely on the island of Taiwan to control Fujian."

"Xiong Zijian and Wang Dazhi in Taiwan and Fujian are doing very well, from Wang Dazhi's letter, Taiwan's situation is very good, Taiwan and Fujian Quanzhou contact is also very good, at present Xiong Zijian and Wang Dazhi need to do, is to Taiwan and Quanzhou as a base, control the whole of Fujian, if we can control Fujian, you can see from the map, sandwiched in the middle of this and Nanzhili, is what we can find a way to control in the next step, we can take the way of front and back, so to speak, Xiong Zijian and Wang Dazhi can control Fujian, and we will be able to plot to control the entire south in the next step. ”

"Things about this aspect are things that we need to focus on, you all know that there are a lot of garrisons in the south of the imperial court, Liu Zeqing stationed in Zhejiang, controlling 100,000 troops, Huang Degong stationed in Luzhou, controlling 50,000 troops, Zuo Liangyu stationed in Wuchang, controlling 200,000 troops, Shi Kefa stationed in Nanzhili, controlling 50,000 troops, Ma Shiying stationed in Fengyang, controlling 30,000 troops, counting, the total strength has reached 430,000, even if their combat effectiveness is not good, This is also a force that must be highly valued. ”

"We control Shandong, Fujian and other places, just the beginning, we choose to start from the south, this is also because of the needs of the actual situation, the south is a rich land, but also a place of talent, is the fundamental strength of the imperial court, once we can control the entire south, it also indicates that our decision is completely correct, completely successful, so this step is the most important."

"The third aspect, Zhang Fengyi and his 30,000 troops stationed in Xuanzhou, this is a problem that we will solve within the year."

"Don't underestimate these 30,000 people, this is the army stationed in our hinterland, we occupy the hinterland can not appear any threat, we must absolutely guarantee security, therefore, to solve the problem of the 30,000 army, we must immediately start to carry out, there are three ways, the first is to recruit these 30,000 troops, for our use, this is the best ending, the second is to let the 30,000 troops leave Xuanzhou, leave Shandong, and return to Beizhili, this is a bad ending, the third is to dismiss or exterminate the 30,000 army, Not being able to make them available to the imperial court is the worst possible outcome, and in the current situation, we cannot kill each other, and we must also ensure superficial stability. ”

"The fourth aspect, the influence of public opinion, we must pay attention to."

"To put it mildly, the officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, including the places we can control, many officials are still loyal to the court and the emperor, which can't be blamed on them, to say that I was also loyal to the court and the emperor not long ago, but now we need to create public opinion, the emperor and the court are already working, and I will tell the world my twists and turns, which is the best explanation, doesn't this mean that I want to rebel, so we need to fight back, what methods to take to fight back, I don't think we need to do it, we need to do something, It is to let us control the local people, life is getting better and better, and if we have done this step, it is the best way to fight back, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Taiwan, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Xuanzhou and Gaizhou and other places, the people's lives are getting better and better, and it is in stark contrast with other places, I believe that the people will understand, and many officials will also understand. ”

"Don't underestimate this aspect, this is related to our foundation, blindly using force to conquer the world, although it is a choice, but it is not the best choice, without a fight to surrender the army, is the goal we pursue." (To be continued......)
