(Thanks for the happy sword swing, moonchenli casts precious monthly tickets, thanks for the rewards that choose to take the middle route without leaving or right, thank you.)

There is actually Su Tiancheng's shadow on matters that Datong border army and Liaodong border army cannot be mobilized.

The connection between Su Tiancheng and Zhou Yanru was not completely eliminated. Especially after the Jinyiwei and Dongchang began to clean up civil and military ministers on a large scale in the court, Zhou Yanru had already realized that if the court continued to develop like this, it would be a matter of time before. He had to think of a way out for himself. Moreover, his hometown was in the south, where Su Tiancheng had occupied it. However, his family had not suffered any abuse or suffered any crime. His life was similar to before, and his family wrote to him specifically that the local security situation was much better than before. The officials in the government were very careful in doing things and did not dare to bully the people casually because the above requirements were very strict. The most important problem reflected in the letter was that Su Tiancheng became the emperor and seemed to have been recognized by the people. People did not think that Su Tiancheng was rebelling.

These news had a great influence on Zhou Yanru. Yang Sichang, Fan Jingwen and others, after surrendering to Su Tiancheng, they still had high officials and generous salaries. Moreover, Yang Sichang was the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, and Fan Jingwen was the Left Censor of the Censorate, and they were all top officials. When Su Tiancheng set up officials, he restored the system of three provinces and six ministries, which also indicates that the Jin Dynasty restored the establishment of the prime minister and the power of the ministers became greater.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yanru would not cut off his connection with Su Tiancheng, but this connection is very secret and there will be no direct connection. Most of them are connected through family or other channels.

Su Tiancheng's attitude was very clear. There was no accident in Liaodong. The cruelty of the Later Jin Tartars was well known, and they suffered a great loss in the previous contest with the court. It can be said that their inner resentment reached the critical point. Once Liaodong neglects defense and finds an opportunity to attack by the Later Jin Tartars, or even enters the pass, the people in many places in the north will encounter the most tragic fate. Moreover, if the Later Jin Tartars win in Liaodong, they will inevitably stimulate the Mongolian tribes, leading to dangers in Datong and Ningxia areas, and then there will be a situation of complete collapse.

Su Tiancheng agreed to use a more peaceful approach to change the status quo, which was fully reflected in Shandong and other places, including Nanzhili.

Taking a step back, Zhou Yanru, Ningyuan, Su Tiancheng became the emperor and was unwilling to the Later Jin Tartars occupy the capital.

This indirect connection between Su Tiancheng and Zhou Yanru directly affected Zhou Yanru's attitude.

Shi Kefa's attitude is the same.

Shi Kefa quickly adapted from Southern Zhili to Liaodong. When he went to Liaodong, the situation was still very optimistic. It was also relatively calm. The Later Jin Tartars did not dare to act rashly. Unfortunately, with Su Tiancheng's rebellion, the situation changed greatly, and the Later Jin Tartars began to be ready to move.

Of course, Shi Kefa made all preparations and even prepared to close the mutual market in Guangning.

Shi Kefa also received a letter from Su Tiancheng. The meaning of the letter was very clear. He had to do his best to defend Liaodong and Guanning Jin defense line. He could not give the Later Jin Tartars any chance. Otherwise, he would be the eternal sinner of the Han people.

Shi Kefa certainly understood the meaning of this, so when he was summoned to the capital by the emperor, he firmly opposed the mobilization of the Liaodong border army. Although the Liaodong border army had been expanded, the total number was close to 300,000. However, it was not so abundant in Guangning, Xiping Fort, Yizhou, Heishan, Dalinghe City, Jinzhou, Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. In addition, it occupied most of the Liaodong area, not only needed garrisons in the city, but also needed garrisons in many fortresses.

According to the emperor's wishes, mobilizing 200,000 troops and leaving tens of thousands of people to defend Liaodong is equivalent to saying that Liaodong handed over to the Later Jin Tartars. The quality of the Liaodong border army was uneven. Later, the soldiers recruited, including many military households, could only be said to be generalized, and they would not even be much better than the ordinary people. Fortunately, they had the old foundation to support them, and the overall quality of the Liaodong border army was still good.

It was precisely because of such strong opposition that the emperor hesitated.

Shi Kefa has been in Southern Zhili for many years and is familiar with the situation in Southern Zhili and Zhejiang. Su Tiancheng's conquest in Southern Zhili and many other situations were learned from letters from officials and friends. Shi Kefa never expected that Su Tiancheng could easily wipe out more than 300,000 Ming army and captured most of the land. If this trend continues, even if the Liaodong border army and the Datong border army unite, they may not be able to compete with Su Tiancheng.

Shi Kefa is more clear about the fact that the cruelty of the Later Jin Tartars was famous. As early as the Tianqi period, when Nurhaci led the Later Jin Tartars to conquer the Liaodong expedition, he plundered all the young and strong, killing all the remaining old, weak, women and children, and not being able to leave a living. Huang Taiji was the same at the beginning, but after the Battle of Daling River, he might feel that such a problem was inappropriate, so he restrained a little.

Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning Camp to defeat the Later Jin Tartars, and even killed Duoduo, the prince of the Later Jin, and destroyed several banners in the Eight Banners Army. This was a great humiliation for the Later Jin Tartars and an unstoppable pain. Once there was a chance, the Later Jin Tartars would counterattack wildly and vent their resentment.

It is precisely because of this situation that Shi Kefa paid special attention to the actions of the Later Jin Tartars. Shi Kefa noticed many of Dorgon's actions. He once submitted memorials to the court and reported the abnormal movements of the Later Jin Tartars. Unfortunately, the court did not care about the matter in Liaodong at all. Su Tiancheng's rebellion had already involved all the energy of the court.

Shi Kefa also wrote a letter to Dorgon directly, clearly reprimanding Dorgon. The Later Jin Dynasty had already bowed to the Ming Dynasty and was still hostages in the capital. Why did he still have many unfriendly measures in Liaodong? Unfortunately, the letter written by Shi Kefa did not receive any response.

In anger, Shi Kefa prepared to close the Guangning trade, but his staff and officers advised him that the court was not very stable. At this time, the Later Jin Tartars happened to find excuses and opportunities for fighting. If the Later Jin Tartars launched a large-scale fight in Liaodong because of the closing of the trade, the imperial court would really be unable to support it.

In fact, the dilemma in Liaodong has begun to emerge. Because of Su Tiancheng's rebellion, the imperial court's silver was seriously insufficient. Liaodong and Datong recruited soldiers on a large scale, and military pay was needed. The imperial court could not take out so much military pay. It could be maintained at the beginning, but after the autumn harvest season, the Ministry of Revenue began to complain. It is no wonder that the prosperous south did not pay taxes, so how could the imperial court maintain it? The biggest reliance at present is the mutual transactions in Liaodong, as well as the mutual transactions in Jingbian and Anning Fort, and secondly, Shaanxi can still pay taxes in full.

After coming to the capital, Shi Kefa and Wang Daozhi met. When they talked about the situation in the south, they were both frowning. Both of them had done things in Nanzhili. Shi Kefa was once the Minister of War in Nanzhili, and Wang Daozhi was once the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. They were very familiar with the situation in the south. However, the two had completely consistent understanding of Liaodong. Liaodong must never relax, otherwise the capital would suffer a catastrophe.

Both of them had pessimistic views on the future. Judging from the actual situation, it was too difficult for the court to continue to maintain it. The newly established Dajin Dynasty had an overwhelming advantage in many aspects. Su Tiancheng, who had become the emperor of Dajin, had made a decision to advance north, and the capital was in danger. When it was forced to do so, what was the point of defending the Guanning Jin defense line?

At that time, the emperor would dispatch the Liaodong border army, and I am afraid no one could object.

After Shi Kefa and Wang Daozhi returned to the capital, they also visited Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, and said it was a visit, but in fact it was Zhou Yanru's key to Zhou Kang's notification, saying that there was something to discuss.

The three of them also talked about the problems of Liaodong and Datong. After repeated comparisons, the three of them unanimously agreed that the Liaodong border army could not be moved. As a last resort, they mobilized all the Datong border army and handed over the defense of Datong to the Xibe tribe and the Dawu tribe. The Datong border army was dispatched and the governor rushed to the Baoding area of ​​northern Zhili to make comprehensive arrangements to prevent the Jiangning Camp from directly attacking northern Zhili from Shandong.

As for Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, there is currently not enough troops to defend. If Su Tiancheng does not attack Beizhili for the time being and finds a way to capture Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places, the court can only stare at him.

The opinions discussed by the three of them are basically the final opinions.

Shi Kefa is about to return to Liaodong. Although the situation in the capital is still very bad, Zhou Yanru still gave him off to Shi Kefa. As for Wang Daozhi, he stayed in the capital. The imperial edict to dispatch Datong border troops has been issued, and Wang Daozhi can just wait in the capital.

This time I had a long time to eat and drink. What's strange is that Zhou Yanru, Shi Kefa, Wang Daozhi and others didn't say anything. The occasional conversation was full of suspense. Everyone seemed to have thought of what to do in the future, and they didn't seem to think about what path to go in the future.

It was not until the end of the banquet that Zhou Yanru said something, which was also a bold statement. It probably meant that the Ming Dynasty might encounter a huge disaster. The problem now is not in Liaodong, but in the south. The gradually stronger Great Jin Dynasty will be unstoppable, like a torrent of waves, sweeping away all the blocking forces and letting these obstacles be wiped out.
