(Thank you xiaoyuanmcu, CTS Xiaozhu for voting for the valuable monthly ticket, thank you for not choosing the middle route or the right way, the reward of the demon thief group, thank you.) ）

Yan Zizhang was originally the best candidate for the prefect of Jinan Mansion in Su Tiancheng's mind, so he did not hesitate to let Su Tianhao serve as the co-governor of Jinan Mansion, temporarily responsible for the affairs of Jinan Mansion, and did not let Su Tianhao become the prefect, which made everyone very strange, after all, the two are brothers, you must know that politics and family affection cannot be completely separated, it has been said for thousands of years, but Su Tiancheng has a very clear understanding, he knows Su Tianhao's ability, under the current situation, it is okay to assist capable officials to do things, But it is difficult to take charge alone, and the main matters of today's Jinan Mansion are the responsibility of Governor Zhang Pu.

There is no nepotism, this Su Tiancheng can definitely do, in the Jiangning battalion, there are many generals with outstanding military achievements, it is not impossible to serve as officials in the local area, but Su Tiancheng will not do it, for example, generals like He Renlong are suitable for doing things in the army, not for the locality.

This time he came into contact with Yan Zizhang, which made Su Tiancheng completely change his mind, and he noticed that Yan Zizhang's eyes were looking at him, which was a look of distrust and regret, which made Su Tiancheng feel cold.

It is not a simple matter to understand a person, Su Tiancheng thought he understood Yan Zizhang, but he found that he was wrong, Yan Zizhang used to be the supervisor of the imperial history in the imperial court, and he didn't dare to say whether he had learned some bad habits, but there is a concept, I am afraid that it has been formed, many imperial histories and things in the imperial court are very noble, and they think that what they do is very noble. These people have the enthusiasm of moths to fight fires, and the greatest ideal in their minds is to dedicate themselves to their own goals, even if it is at the cost of their lives, but unfortunately they do not have a clear political goal, and they oppose it for the sake of opposition. As long as they can challenge authority, they can oppose their superiors, even if their views are wrong, they think that it is the greatest honor to be able to achieve their goals, because they believe that dedicating themselves to their ideals will definitely go down in history.

This kind of person is the most terrifying person, and it is also the type of person that Su Tiancheng is determined to fight.

Of course, such a class of people is formed. Can't blame them themselves, they have a lot to do with the imperial court, for many years, the struggle between the imperial power and the vassal power is in full swing, and in this process, some of them must be used, and some of the so-called history books. The evaluation of them is also very high, but I don't know such connivance. In the struggle for power, it is the common people who suffer in the end.

These people also have a characteristic, they are particularly loyal to the imperial court, even if this imperial court is a decaying and declining imperial court. Their understanding is like that of parents to their children, the court is corrupt and declined, they can criticize, they can scold, and they can show their greatness. But not allowing outsiders to overthrow it is a great rebellion.

Su Tiancheng doesn't have the heart to change this kind of person, he still has a lot of things to do, talent is important, but it must also be able to be used for himself, so he can be regarded as a real talent.

The Jiangning battalion was about to set off by warship and go to Jiaxing Mansion, the first target of the army was the Hainingwei garrison, and after occupying the Hainingwei garrison, it was necessary to attack Liu Zeqing's army. In fact, Su Tiancheng can not choose this way at all, he can occupy Hangzhou Mansion by land, after controlling Hangzhou Mansion, he can take Huzhou Mansion to the north, Yanzhou Mansion and Jinhua Mansion to the south, so that he can control the entire Zhejiang in the shortest possible time, as for the battle with Liu Zeqing, it can be put at the back, although Su Tiancheng has full confidence, knowing that Liu Zeqing will not take the initiative to attack, even if there is the emperor's holy decree.

The reason why he did this, Su Tiancheng's purpose was to win Fan Jingwen, he wanted Fan Jingwen to see what the imperial army was like, what the government in Zhejiang had done, how the people should survive in such an environment, in addition to rebellion and waiting for death, is there any other way out, Su Tiancheng knew that after Fan Jingwen saw these situations, his heart would definitely be greatly shocked, and then Su Tiancheng would send Fan Jingwen to Shandong to see the situation in Shandong, Get in touch with Yang Sichang and others, and at that time, what choice Fan Jingwen should make is a matter of course.

After all, talent is rare.

The Jiangning battalion's movements were very fast, starting from Sanjiang Institute in Shaoxing Prefecture, but in two days, they arrived at Hainingwei, which is located in Jiaxing Prefecture.

Attacking Haining, can not be regarded as a battle, stationed in Haining for the guard sergeants, was frightened by the artillery fire on the warship, there was no resistance at all, Zhejiang and other places of the guard, can be said to be the worst combat effectiveness, this is also because of the proximity to the sea, the defense of the sea has long been the responsibility of the naval division, and Zhejiang is stationed in the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing, the guard army is useless, the officers of the guard have long wanted to make a fortune, they falsely reported the number of people, risked the army's salary, and even in the army of the guard, but also because of the matter of deducting military salaries, As a result, some young and strong military families could not survive and chose to leave, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the officers were happy to see such a situation, so that they could withhold more military salaries, as for the battle in their eyes, it did not exist, anyway, everyone was like this.

The battle ended before it even began, but fortunately, Su Tiancheng was used to such a battle.

But in the eyes of Fan Jingwen and others, this scene was tantamount to a slap in the face, they didn't expect that the imperial court's self-proclaimed huge guard army turned out to be such a situation, how such an army could resist the incoming enemy and protect the peace of the people.

After taking Hainingwei, the army did not stop and rushed directly towards Haiyan County.

Liu Zeqing never dreamed that Su Tiancheng would lead the Jiangning battalion and take the initiative to attack his army.

To say that Liu Zeqing used to be a fierce general, in the early years once did the garrison of Liaodong, and then in the suppression of Dengzhou, Laizhou rebellion, its reputation almost reached the peak, if it were not for the sudden rise of the Jiangning battalion, maybe it would be able to continue to show glory and enter the imperial court, it is precisely because of this situation that Liu Zeqing is a little arrogant, after being stationed in Zhejiang, he regarded Jiaxing Mansion as his own small territory, and regarded the 100,000 army as a personal army, and no one was allowed to interfere casually.

The world-famous Jiangning Camp, in Liu Zeqing's view, is nothing more than that, it's just a little luckier, if he has such an opportunity, he can also make a miracle achievement.

It is precisely because he has not had formal contact with Jiang Ningying that Liu Zeqing's arrogance can be said to have arrived at home.

In his heart, he has an idea, when the sergeant has searched enough in Hangzhou, Huzhou and Jiaqing and other places, he will send a secret envoy to talk to Su Tiancheng, and the two sides will reach an agreement in private not to interfere with each other, and he will ask to regard Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion as his own territory, Jiangning Camp should not occupy here, and ask to get Hangzhou Mansion, which is somewhat unrealistic, but it can also be fought for, as for the imperial edict in the imperial court, the emperor's holy decree, in Liu Zeqing's view, it is nothing, as long as he has the army in his hand, he is doing what he says, and the Jiangning battalion did not occupy Jiaxing and Huzhou and other places, he also gave a good account to the imperial court, at least the army worked hard to keep a place.

Liu Zeqing's dream is too big, a little boundless.

The 100,000 troops were distributed in three places, mainly in Jiaxing Prefecture, some in Hangzhou Prefecture, and some in Huzhou Prefecture, all of which were collecting food and wages.

Liu Zeqing seems to be very busy every day, a few days ago, he heard that Fan Jingwen, a cabinet scholar, came to Zhejiang, this is not a joke, such an important minister came to Zhejiang, he must be shouldering an important mission, if he finds that his sergeants are collecting military salaries everywhere, they must lose their temper, so during that time, he specially ordered the sergeants who went to Hangzhou to collect military salaries, don't act for the time being, and later learned that Fan Jingwen went directly to Su Tiancheng, Liu Zeqing was relieved, and also felt that Fan Jingwen was too pedantic, As a cabinet scholar, it's not good to stay in the capital, what are you doing with hardships.

For a period of time, the sergeants under his command have collected a large number of military salaries, such a harvest is even a little beyond Liu Zeqing's expectations, he is very aware of the hard work of his officers and sergeants, and the military salaries collected are divided into three parts, one part is in the treasury, which is used for possible expenses in the future, after all, just in case, if it really fights with the Jiangning battalion, it still has to use silver, and the other part is distributed by the officers and sergeants themselves, and the remaining part of the last part belongs to Liu Zeqing. In this way, he did not have to come forward, and he received a large amount of silver.

Because of the proper policy, the sergeants under his command are also very enthusiastic, and they can be said to rush to various prefectures and counties non-stop, and they can't dig three feet into the ground, and in this process, there are also dead people. , but Liu Zeqing had a tacit understanding with the officials at all levels early in the morning, and now it is wartime, in order to be able to fight against the rebellious Su Tiancheng, in order to be able to collect food and wages, and in order to be able to protect the peace of the court, what are these things.

Of course, Liu Zeqing also took out a small amount of silver and gave it to the officials of Fuzhou County, after all, it is not okay to ask people not to speak, and not to express it.

Jiaxing, Huzhou, Hangzhou and other places, is already a miasma, a large number of people fled, some businessmen who did not have time to escape, or rich families with money, were increased the burden of levy, must come up with a certain amount of silver, otherwise it will be the end of the family, as for the officers and sergeants under their hands, take the opportunity to insult women, this is not a thing, no wonder, there are many beauties in Zhejiang, and the sergeants finally have such an opportunity, they can't help it at all.

Liu Zeqing would never have thought that what these officers and sergeants under him did was digging a grave for him, the so-called public anger was difficult to criminalize, and the plundering sergeants saw silver in their eyes, and they didn't think about the conquest at all, and they didn't make the slightest preparation, what combat effectiveness such an army could have.
