"Lord, Director Yang of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau has arrived." Zeng Yuanxun came in to report.
After Zhao Wu left, he took over Zhao Wu's position and became the guard captain beside Liu Heng.
"Let him in!"
At this moment, Liu Heng was facing the wall behind the desk, with a huge map hanging on it.
"Yes." Zeng Yuanxun responded and stepped back.
Soon, Yang Yuan was brought into the room by him.
"I see you, my lord." Yang Yuan saluted Liu Heng's back.
After hearing the words, Liu Heng slowly turned around, looked at Yang Yuan in front of him, and said, "But there is news on the grassland?"
"There is no news from the grassland yet. This subordinate came here because of the incident in Jinzhou." Yang Yuan said, "Xing Chaoxi, who is stationed in Lushun, took advantage of the lack of troops in the pseudo-jin and started to send troops to Jinzhou."
Liu Heng nodded and said with approval: "Very good, Xing Chaoxiting will seize the right opportunity. Once he captures Jinzhou, it will be a step forward for Lushun. By then, Jinzhou and Lushun can serve as anchors to accommodate more people." , more like a nail firmly hammered into the Lushun Peninsula.”
"Do you want my subordinates to arrange secret spies inside the fake gold to cooperate with them?" Yang Yuan asked.
There are also secret spies planted by the Foreign Intelligence Agency inside the counterfeit gold.
There are so many Han people in the area ruled by the slave thieves. Not everyone loves the slave thieves. More Han people just cannot escape. Even when Huang Taiji became the Great Khan, he only treated the Han people as if they were no longer openly slaves. Massacres were carried out in order to save food, but the slave owners' behavior remained unchanged.
The reduction of Dingkou of the Han people was just an apparent massacre order from the highest level, to a reduction of Dingkou by the slave owners below in order to save food.
This Dingkou is naturally a Han slave.
Even the Han officials who worked for the slave thieves generally had a low status, let alone the lower-level Han slaves.
Huang Taiji raised the status of Han officials in order to fight against the banner leaders and Baylor so that he could smoothly grasp the power. It did not mean that he really wanted to improve the status of Han people.
Liu Heng thought for a while and said: "No need, it's not time to solve Liaodong yet. Let Lushun take their time and expand their strength bit by bit. The battle on the grassland is the key now."
Liaodong is a good place. In his opinion, it would be a pity to fall into the hands of slave thieves. If the Tiger Flag was entrenched in Liaodong, he would definitely find a way to develop Liaodong, instead of being like the slave thieves who could only survive by looting the Ming Dynasty for so many years. Maintain the situation.
Hearing this, Yang Yuan glanced at the map on the back wall.
"Tiger Character Banner and Pseudo-Jin have fought several times, but it was always a small fight. This time Huang Taiji arrived with an army in person and took this opportunity to rush him back to Liaodong, leaving him and Pseudo-Jin to huddle together. Liaodong." Liu Heng clicked on the map.
After the rise of the Tiger Character Banner, no Shanxi merchants gave blood to the fake gold. The things that the fake gold could get suddenly decreased a lot. Even if some grain and iron were obtained through various grassland ministries, the quantity was limited.
In order to maintain the situation of fake gold, all Huang Taiji and fake gold can do is to rob everywhere.
Yang Yuan said: "Huang Taiji really went to great lengths to avenge a dead Baylor, traveling thousands of miles away to cause trouble for us."
The news that Huang Taiji sent troops to deal with the Tiger Character Banner had already spread, and even the Ming Dynasty had heard about it.
At the Ming Dynasty court, after hearing the news, Chongzhen and many officials wanted to have a drink in celebration.
The fake gold and the tiger-character flag are both enemies of the Ming Dynasty. No matter who fights against the two forces, it is a matter worth celebrating for the Ming Dynasty.
"Do you really believe that Huang Taiji traveled thousands of miles across the grassland to deal with us?" Liu Heng looked at Yang Yuan and asked.
Yang Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "My lord, do you mean that Huang Taiji has another purpose?"
"I don't blame you for the fact that the Foreign Intelligence Agency didn't find out. I'm afraid Huang Taiji even hid it from the princes and beile of fake gold." Liu Heng said softly.
If he hadn't known that in history, Huang Taiji bypassed Shanhaiguan and plundered the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty within one or two years, he might have thought that Huang Taiji came for the Tiger Flag.
Yang Yuan was puzzled: "Huang Taiji didn't come for our Tiger Flag, so why did he bring so many soldiers and horses over the mountains and across the grassland for the purpose?"
"Of course it's Tu Daming." Liu Heng chuckled, pointed on the map, and continued, "Shanhaiguan is a hurdle that Huang Taiji cannot jump over. If the fake gold wants to continue to rely on robbery to maintain internal stability, then We can only continue to find the target of robbery."
As he spoke, he pointed his finger at the location marked as grassland on the map.
"The grassland is poor, and what can be grabbed is limited. However, only the Ming Dynasty has no shortage of grain, iron and other items that are really useful for counterfeit gold. If they want to rob, they will naturally rob rich people like the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing these words, Yang Yuan suddenly realized: "What my lord means is that Huang Taiji came towards the Ming Dynasty and has nothing to do with our Tiger Flag."
"No." Liu Heng waved his hand slightly and said, "I think Huang Taiji also has the attitude of giving us a try. If the Tiger Flag is easy to deal with, he can easily avenge Azig, and he can also neutralize Lushun. If the threat is difficult to deal with, Huang Taiji can concentrate on plundering the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty."
Bypassing Shanhaiguan, trekking across the grassland, and entering the territory of Ming Dynasty to plunder, it must be said that Huang Taiji's step was extremely bold. Once successful, it would not only be able to continuously draw blood from Ming Dynasty to meet the internal demand for fake gold, but also effectively weaken Ming Dynasty. War potential.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, or even three birds with one stone.
As for the last step, Huang Taiji's prestige among the fake gold will be unparalleled, the Khan position will be completely secure, and the situation in which the four Baylors jointly discuss politics will change in a direction that is beneficial to Huang Taiji.
Yang Yuan said: "It is a good thing for us that Huang Taiji plundered the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is also the enemy of our Tiger Flag, and even ranks in front of the counterfeit gold."
Although the Ming Dynasty cannot defeat this or that, the Ming Dynasty is still the strongest among several forces. As for why no one can defeat it, only God knows.
"You are wrong, counterfeit gold is our biggest enemy." Liu Heng said, "We who occupy the land of three provinces are no longer something that the Ming Dynasty can easily deal with. Even if the Ming Dynasty produces another Zhang Juzheng, it will be useless. "
Yang Yuan said in confusion: "Fake gold is entrenched in Liaodong. Now Pi Dao and Lushun are in the hands of our Tiger Flag. As long as we win the Ming Dynasty, we can deal with the fake gold in Liaodong at any time."
"You underestimate Huang Taiji." Liu Heng said, "Huang Taiji dared to lead troops to march long distances to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that he is interested in the world, so we cannot give him this opportunity to let him have the opportunity to grow stronger. The fake gold wants to start from If Daming sucks blood, it depends on whether I agree or not."
Snapped!
Liu Heng slapped the place marked Ji Town on the map.
