Yang Sichang and Xu Eryi did not express their opinions for the time being, but were not furious, but chose to remain silent.

Su Tiancheng seized the opportunity and had a private conversation with Yang Sichang, mainly talking about one thing, that is, Zhang Pu continued to serve as the governor of Shandong. Su Tiancheng was ready to take action in Jinan Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture, which belonged to Shandong, to carry out large-scale transformation of these three places, adopting the same management model as Dengzhou and other places, and to make large-scale adjustments to the officials of prefectures and counties appointed by the court, and select officials from Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou to these places, so that the entire Shandong province would belong to his own command.

To do this, Zhang Pu must serve as the governor of Shandong, so as to ensure that many things go smoothly, and to ensure that Su Tiancheng and the court do not have conflicts for the time being and maintain a peaceful coexistence.

The reason why Su Tiancheng asked Yang Sichang for help was because he felt that Yang Sichang could do this well. There was no special relationship between Yang Sichang and Zhou Yanru. It was unlikely that he would accept Yang Sichang's suggestions. However, the time when Zhou Yanru became the chief minister of the cabinet again was also very critical. The court faced more problems. I believe that after Zhou Yanru excluded Yang Sichang, he achieved his expected purpose and was unwilling to have a conflict with Su Tiancheng immediately. It must be that the emperor and the court should slowly plan and maintain superficial stability. No chief minister of the cabinet was willing to sit on the oil pan.

It is precisely because of this reason that Su Tiancheng was sure that Yang Sichang persuaded Zhou Yanru that Shandong would maintain the current status quo. As for Henan Prefecture and Shaanxi Province, there was no way to guarantee it. Large-scale adjustments were certain.

Yang Sichang definitely has such ability and has also served as the chief assistant of the cabinet. Yang Sichang must know something about what Zhou Yanru thinks. Thinking from the perspective of others, Yang Sichang knows how to persuade Zhou Yanru. Besides, from Yang Sichang's performance, Su Tiancheng is also sure that Yang Sichang and Xu Eryishang were thinking, and they both thought that the Ming Dynasty could temporarily stabilize.

To Su Tiancheng's happiness, Yang Sichang agreed to Su Tiancheng's request and immediately began to write letters to Zhou Yanru. The Later Jin Tartars rushed to the capital. The negotiation matter was imminent. Once the negotiation began, the emperor would start to adjust the officials, and this matter could not be delayed.

After just dealing with the matter of Yang Sichang, Xu Eryi and others, Lu Shanji was arranged to enter Jiangning Camp and assist Hong Chengchou in doing things. Qu Qingze returned to Dengzhou, and there were 30,000 troops who came to Dengzhou with Qu Qingze.

Su Tiancheng has carefully considered how to place these 30,000 troops. The total number of soldiers stationed in Jiangning Camp in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou, Fuzhou and Gaizhou has reached 110,000. In addition, the total number of soldiers stationed on Taiwan Island has reached 120,000. This is an army that scares everyone and is Su Tiancheng's main force. If the 30,000 troops led by Zhang Fengyi enters Jiangning Camp, then the total number of soldiers in Jiangning Camp will reach 150,000, which is also the upper limit that Su Tiancheng considers. The number of troops cannot be greater.

It is very stressful to support such a huge army. The military pay expenses used for soldiers every year are nearly 8 million taels of silver, and military pay is absolutely guaranteed. Especially in today's situation, Su Tiancheng also understands that the number of troops is not decisive, and the personal quality of soldiers is the first priority. Sometimes, Su Tiancheng even ridiculed himself that the kingdom he temporarily commanded was completely a predecessor political.

However, Su Tiancheng was not prepared to ask all 30,000 people to join the Jiangning Camp. Although the overall quality of the 30,000 troops led by Zhang Fengyi was still good, there was still a big gap compared with the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp. It would take some time to integrate all 30,000 people into the Jiangning Camp. His specific consideration was to carry out a certain elimination of 30,000 people to ensure that 20,000 of them entered the Jiangning Camp, and the remaining 10,000 people were considered to be sent to the prefecture, prefecture and county government offices. As a candidate for the soldiers in the inspection department, local security is also very important. In the future, Jiangning Camp will not be able to maintain public security in all places in the Ming Dynasty.

Henan Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture will soon undergo large-scale changes. In the past, all the officials in the government could be retained with limited numbers. Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou needed to send out certain officials. As for the sergeants in the Inspection Department, there were more people needed. The eliminated sergeants could be fully trained and entered the Inspection Department.

Once Henan Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture are all included in the army, Su Tiancheng is also preparing to reform the finance and taxation aspects. The current mechanism is not conducive to mobilizing the enthusiasm of government officials at all levels. Everyone's income is similar, and there is not much difference, because the jurisdiction is not large, so it is OK to maintain this for the time being, but it will definitely not work over time.

The method of fiscal and tax reform is actually not complicated. The tax sharing system is implemented. The prefecture, prefecture, county and government offices have income. After the commission is taken, the government will distribute it again. This will inevitably lead to different incomes in different places, prompting the prefecture, prefecture, county and county officials to try their best to do things and develop the local economy, because this involves their own income.

Qu Qingze took Wu Sangui into the wing room.

When he was about to see Su Tiancheng, Wu Sangui was still extremely nervous. The relationship between him and Su Tiancheng was a long time ago, but no sparks appeared between the two. Although he successfully encouraged 30,000 troops to join the Jiangning Camp, what would Su Tiancheng look at this matter and what would he say? Wu Sangui was in a deep heart.

After Su Tiancheng entered the wing room, Wu Sangui immediately stood up and saluted Su Tiancheng.

"Sir, please see the Lord."

Su Tiancheng nodded to Wu Sangui and said nothing.

Wu Sangui was even more at ease and didn't know what would happen next. Fortunately, Qu Qingze began to report on everything that happened in Xuanzhou and told all the situation in truth.

Su Tiancheng listened very carefully. After Qu Qingze finished speaking, a smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"Wu Sangui, you did a good job this time. You left Dengzhou and went to Xuanzhou before. It turned out that you had such an idea. It seems that I was thinking too much."

A smile appeared on Wu Sangui's face. Of course he knew that Su Tiancheng was talking slander. How could Su Tiancheng not know about such a thing? It was just to take advantage of this time to remind himself that he must pay attention in the future.

"Mr. Zhang went to the capital to report the situation. It seems that he will not return to Xuanzhou for a while. Many soldiers unanimously requested to join the Jiangning Camp. I think this is OK. I will give the court more explanations in the future. Anyway, it is all my Ming army, so it doesn't matter."

Su Tiancheng's words determined the fate of most of the 30,000 soldiers.

"I have all the officers above the garrison and above went to the military camps in Penglai City for a concentrated training period. As for the hundreds of households, you can just pay attention to their words and deeds at any time. The soldiers below need to be eliminated. Those who are over 50 or under 14 years old will not enter the Jiangning camp and place them in other places. At the same time, the sergeant's body must also be moderately tested. This matter should be directly responsible for Master Qu, and Wu Sangui will assist in handling it. There are restrictions on time and must be done within one month."

Wu Sangui finally showed a smile on his face. He would not underestimate this task. This is Su Tiancheng's test for him. Whether many soldiers can truly belong to Jiangning Camp, he still needs to make efforts. Once this matter is done well, the subsequent arrangements will definitely be good. As for which level of commander of Jiangning Camp, that is the next thing.

After Wu Sangui left the wing room, Su Tiancheng spoke quickly.

"Laoqu, you have come into contact with these 30,000 soldiers, how do you feel?"

"Please pay attention. These soldiers have good basic qualities and are all thinking about joining Jiangning Camp. However, they generally have demands, that is, they hope to let their families come to their side, at least to Shandong."

Su Tiancheng nodded. It seemed that Wu Sangui had promoted this matter. The entire Ming army, only the Jiangning Camp, could basically accompany the family members, at least not far apart. Now the families of the soldiers of the Jiangning Camp are basically placed in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and Taiwan Island. In the past, families in Jiangning County, Henan Prefecture, Shaanxi, and other places, all of them came to Dengzhou and other places. It is understandable that these soldiers could enter Jiangning Camp and let their families come over. Su Tiancheng was about to start a large-scale transformation of Jinan Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture and Dongchang Prefecture. In so many places, there was no big problem with resettling family members.

"This requirement can be considered. However, it is obviously inappropriate for all 30,000 soldiers to enter Jiangning Camp. Those unqualified soldiers are determined to do the same. The elderly, weak, sick and disabled are arranged to go to the inspection department of the prefectures and counties to do things. I consider that it would be great if more than 20,000 people could enter Jiangning Camp."

"Sir, the lower officials also consider this."

"The problem of sergeants in the school exam is not very big. It doesn't take long to do it. Dengzhou, Laizhou, Qingzhou and other places, including the entire Shandong in the future, I think the garrison should not exceed 30,000 troops. The more garrisons, the greater the impact on the local area, and they cannot be separated from the local area. Fuzhou and Gaizhou should have appropriately stationed large troops. I think Gaizhou is stationed in 30,000 troops, Fuzhou and Lushun are stationed in 40,000 troops, and Taiwan Island is stationed in 10,000 troops. The battle with the Later Jin Tartars will not be able to fight for a while, but we still need to strengthen our vigilance. If the number of soldiers recruited this time exceeds 20,000, the total number of soldiers in Jiangning camp will reach 140,000. What should we do if the remaining 30,000 troops are to go to Quanzhou."
