Chapter 460 The meaning of the letter
Su Tiancheng was a little helpless because he made such an arrangement.
In the Qing Dynasty in history, the status of personal soldiers was very special, very honorable, and very high treatment, but the requirements were also very harsh. For example, the personal soldiers around Ajige were treated very well, just like Ajige's family, and were definitely not comparable to ordinary soldiers. Just say that some officers in the Eight Banners dared not offend these personal soldiers easily, but their responsibilities were also heavy. If there was a problem with the head coach, they would not survive. They would either fight to protect the head coach or commit suicide to follow the head coach.
Therefore, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to capture Ajige alive.
Through the captured Tartar officer, Su Tiancheng already knew that Ajige had two thousand personal soldiers, which was a fearful number. You must know that these two thousand personal soldiers were all fearless. If Ajige had problems, they would not survive and everything would become a waste. In this case, they would still try their best to protect Ajige.
After capturing A Duoga alive, Su Tiancheng saw with his own eyes that the personal soldiers around A Duoga committed suicide.
In his heart, Su Tiancheng didn't want to make such an arrangement. The personal military camp and the scout camp were also elites of the Jiangning camp. With one to fight ten, he had the courage to defeat ten thousand men. When he wiped out the Tatars rushing to assist Fangshan County, he suffered heavy losses. The two battalions lost more than 800 soldiers. Su Tiancheng was in pain and bleeding.
But he had to make such an arrangement, all of this was because of the letter written by Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen had a lot of praise and greetings in his letter. Su Tiancheng was not interested in these contents. The key is that Wang Chengen mentioned later that the allusion of capturing the king first was Su Tiancheng understood the meaning.
Wang Chengen wrote this letter, which was definitely not his own intention. Su Tiancheng is now majestic and one of the important officials of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Chengen would not do anything behind Zhu Youjian's back. Besides, Wang Chengen's heart was all for Zhu Youjian, so this was actually what Zhu Youjian meant.
In this case, Su Tiancheng would certainly not be careless.
It is worth it to be able to capture Azige alive. At least 80,000 Tatars lost the commander, and the morale of the army would definitely be disintegrated. Not to mention continuing to plunder in the pass, it would be not easy to escape from the pass.
Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng had no choice but to arrange Liu Tiehan to complete this arduous task.
Liu Tiehan is honest. Once he accepts the task, he doesn't think about anything, and he just wants to complete the task. If he can't complete it, he can't eat well and sleep well. He can't recover for a long time.
If Liu Tiehan cannot complete the task, it would be useless to hand it over to the others.
Wang Dazhi came in with a servant who looked like a servant.
Seeing the visitor, Su Tiancheng stood up. This servant was the servant in his capital mansion, and he followed the housekeeper at all times. This time, Su Tiancheng led the Jiangning Camp soldiers to read the full text of the super causal lottery. When he arrived in the capital, he passed by his doorstep twice, but he did not go in.
Jiangning Camp won two great victories, and it was spread throughout the capital. It was impossible to say that Zhu Shenxin and others didn't know, but Su Tiancheng had no time to go home for the time being. The heavy military affairs made him breathless. Unless he defeated the 80,000 Tartars led by Ajige and drove the Tartars out of the dead, he could only go home and take a look.
"The master, the youngest, brought his wife's letter."
"Oh, madam is okay, everything is okay at home."
"Mrs. I'm very good, I'm worried that the master, the second, the third, and the fourth, are all fine. The third and the fourth, it's almost time. The lady said that if the master finishes his business, he will definitely go home to check it out."
"Ming Jie and Ming Yue are both okay."
"The young master and the young lady are both very good, just shouting to see his father, so the wife said that when the master is free, he will go home to take a look."
"Okay, I understand. You rushed to Fangshan County. Thank you for your hard work. Go and have a good meal and wash up. After you go back, tell your wife and a few wives that I will definitely go back after I finish my work."
The servant was taken to dinner. Su Tiancheng signaled Wang Dazhi to take out a ingot of gold, a total of ten taels, and rewarded it to the servant. The war was in chaos along the way, and it still took some courage to come to Fangshan County.
Of course, Wang Dazhi knew the importance of it. After going out, he arranged two personal soldiers. After the servant had dinner, he escorted the servant back to the capital. It was not far away anyway, and it would take two or three hours. The army led by Ajige was about to come to Fangshan County. This is not a place to stay for a long time.
Su Tiancheng opened the letter.
Zhu Shenxin's delicate handwriting was reflected into her eyelids. If you want to say that Zhu Shenxin's first-hand writing was written better than Su Tiancheng.
Zhu Shenxin mainly reminded Su Tiancheng to pay attention to his health. The reputation of Jiangning Camp has spread in the capital. Su Tiancheng has been regarded as a great hero. The people even believed that if the Tartars met Su Tiancheng, they would be defeated without a fight.
Zhu Shenxin didn't talk much about the family affairs, mainly about Su Mingjie and Su Mingyue. The two children's personalities were a little reversed. Su Mingjie was quiet and Su Mingyue was lively. The roles of boys and girls seemed to be in the same way.
Looking at Zhu Shenxin's letter, Su Tiancheng smiled on his face.
For such a long time, he has almost become unfamiliar with such a couple. After hundreds of years, there is no letter writing. Mobile phones and computers fill the world, and they can greet each other at any time. Even if they are far away, they can be contacted immediately. But this era cannot do so. You must rely on letters to transmit information.
What Su Tiancheng thought the most was to change history and make the country stronger. He really did not care much about the affairs at home. This was a matter of no choice and could not achieve both ways. Therefore, he felt guilty about his family.
After reading the letter, Su Tiancheng quickly replied.
The servant has already had dinner and is still waiting for a reply.
Half an hour later, the servant took Su Tiancheng's reply and a ingot of gold. Under the escort of two personal soldiers, he left Fangshan County and returned to the capital.
After Wang Dazhi came in, Su Tiancheng suddenly thought of something.
"Daji, sit down, I have something to say."
Wang Dazhi stood opposite Su Tiancheng and did not sit down.
"Dazhi, you have been with me for so long. We have been together for more than anyone. Over the years, I have been persuading you to get married, but you always refuse. I know you are afraid that after getting married, there will be no time by my side. Today I want to make it clear that you must get married. After this battle, I will personally host the wedding for you. In my reply to my wife, I have already mentioned this. Let the wife carefully choose a girl for you among the maids. Unfilial and unlucky are the best. Your mother is in the capital and is very lonely. She has always thought about you getting married. You can't not get married for me. If this is the case, I feel embarrassed to see your mother, and the invincible upgrade king."
Seeing that Wang Dazhi was still trying to speak, Su Tiancheng waved his hand to stop him.
"This is an order, you must start a family, otherwise you won't stay by my side."
As soon as Su Tiancheng's words fell, Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Bi Maokang, Qu Qingze, Xiong Zijian and others hurried in.
Su Tiancheng knew that Ajige's army was not far from Fangshan County.
Sure enough, Qu Qingze spoke.
"Sir, the Tartars led by Ajige are still thirty miles away from Fangshan County. The scout reported that Ajige had no intention of setting up camp and seemed to be thinking of attacking directly."
Su Tiancheng's face showed a sneer.
"Jianjun Hong, are everything ready?"
"Everything is ready, just wait for the adults to give orders."
"Okay, let all brothers be prepared. Lord Bi, I would like to emphasize again that the role of the artillery battalion is crucial. Don't worry about the shells, and don't be afraid of the artillery being scrapped. Blast hard, so that the Tartars cannot find the east, south, west and north."
Everyone went out and left Su Tiancheng alone in the house. This was also the rule of Jiangning Camp. Before each battle, Su Tiancheng always had to stay alone for a while.
As soon as Xu Er came in.
Su Tiancheng, who was thinking, was about to get angry, turned around and saw that it was Xu Eryi and quickly spoke.
"Mr., the war is imminent, and here we are dangerous. I will send sergeants to protect your safety."
"Kun Yuan, what are you saying? I am here to supervise the battle on behalf of the court. There is no reason to stay behind to hide. I am here to tell you that I will follow out of the city and watch the soldiers kill the enemy with my own eyes."
"Mr., this is not good, it's very dangerous."
"Are you not dangerous? Kun Yuan, to be honest, your current status is much more important than me. The Ming Dynasty cannot do without you, Jiangning Camp. All the civil and military ministers in the court know that you are the soul of Jiangning Camp. Jiangning Camp cannot do without you. Even you are in battle and commanding yourself. I, an old guy, hide behind, where do you let my face go?"
Su Tiancheng blinked, not knowing what to say.
Su Tiancheng and Xu Er walked out of the house.
"Commander Sun, I'll give you a mission."
Sun Yuankun hurried forward.
"Mr. Xu is the one who comes to supervise the war on behalf of the emperor and the court. He has to follow to the front line and watch his brothers kill the Tartars with his own eyes. This is the glory of the brothers. Lord Xu's safety is left to you. No problem can arise. You have to follow Lord Xu, do you understand?"
Sun Yuankun bowed with fists, said nothing, and stood beside Xu Eryi.
Looking at the many waiting officers, Su Tiancheng spoke slowly.
