Text Chapter 1097 Houjin in Zhao Zhenchang¡¯s Eyes

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Zhenchang said that he had been to the area of ??Houjin and had dealt with people from Houjin.  So King Charles immediately became interested. After all, his Royal Highness went to the Ming Dynasty. If he had a whim, there was a high possibility that he would take his troops to visit Liaodong.

    Although King Charles had no contact with Zhao Hongyu, King Charles made such an inference based on his own opinions and what he heard from other people about his Royal Highness¡¯s character.

    What's more, after Kyushu fell into the control of the empire, the top management of Umbrella and the Ministry of Intelligence had already issued instructions to let the Ministry of Intelligence and Umbrella's departments here in Kyushu obtain as much as possible from Houjin, Goryeo, and other Eastern countries.  some information.

    Therefore, when King Charles heard what Zhao Zhenchang said, how could he let go of such an opportunity.

    You must know that Nagasaki is still under construction and development. For a long time, people like them will not be able to go to Houjin or Goryeo.

    Therefore, obtaining information through maritime merchants has become an option.

    Of course, when Jin Yongtai and the others leave, King Charles will send some people to follow them to Goryeo. The public statement is to train the Goryeo guys, but the real role of these people is to obtain intelligence.

    In fact, to some extent, the Umbrella Company and the Intelligence Department are connected as one, and some personnel within the company also have the identity of the Intelligence Department.

    It¡¯s like King Charles himself is also a member of the intelligence.

    Using the identity of a businessman as a cover is actually like being a spy.  In fact, it was not uncommon in the Republic of China in another time and space.  In fact, this practice was also common in ancient times in another time and space.

    Just like in this era.  Some of Hou Jin's spies would often dress up as businessmen from Liaodong and lead caravans into various important towns in Liaodong to spy on intelligence.

    It can be said that such an identity and method are extremely common.

    "It's just that King Charles and the others didn't act like intelligence agents at all, so Jin Yongtai and the others didn't think about it at all.

    Because I didn¡¯t have much contact with King Charles.  But King Charles gave them a very philistine feeling, completely like a real businessman.

    "Zhao Zhenchang has been to Liaodong and has some understanding of their briskness. So should I send more people to Korea under the pretext of training his guys, and then take a trip to Liaodong?"

    King Charles thought to himself.

    The hired Japanese workers were still moving the goods. Anyway, there was nothing going on now. King Charles started chatting with Jin Yongtai and Zhao Zhenchang.

    And.  As Zhao Zhenchang started talking, King Charles began to bring the topic to Hou Jin.

    "Oh, Mr. Zhenchang, have you ever been to Houjin?" King Charles deliberately looked shocked, "I have heard people talk about this place. Those maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty said that Houjin is a very special place.  It¡¯s a barbaric country. People in this country eat human flesh alive.¡±

    Of course King Charles¡¯s words were false, and so was his shocked expression.

    What nonsense are the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants? Ever since the war started in Kyushu, the Ming Dynasty maritime merchants have long since disappeared.  These guys can run faster than rabbits, and they are always able to seek good luck and avoid bad luck very well.

    ???????????????? But.  King Charles said this just to let Zhao Zhenchang say more.

    ??????????????????? Hearing what King Charles said, Zhao Zhenchang showed a slightly proud look.

    "Of course the Hou Jin people in the Ming Dynasty are so barbaric, but you don't know it, because the Ming Dynasty was suppressed and beaten by Hou Jin in Liaodong, and they even had no way to do anything about it."

    After all, Zhao Zhenchang went to Houjin to do business, so he still knows a little about Houjin.

    Although the people he came into contact with were not high-level people, whether you stayed with Hou Jin or not, you would always hear something about the fight between Hou Jin and Ming Dynasty.

    Therefore, Zhao Zhenchang has heard a lot of information in this regard.

    "Oh, the Ming Dynasty is very powerful, at least that's what many merchants who came to Nagasaki said. Even the local Japanese are full of yearning for the Ming Dynasty when they talk about it. Why is the Ming Dynasty now being suppressed by Hou Jin?  Fighting? Isn¡¯t this a bit unreliable? "

    King Charlie said to Zhao Zhenchang pretending not to believe it.

    Jin Yongtai, who was standing next to King Charles, nodded in agreement and said: "Zhenchang Jun, the Ming Dynasty is very powerful. There is absolutely no doubt about this. The Jurchens of Hou Jin Dynasty have only just risen."Now, how could they possibly ever contend with the Ming Dynasty, which had a vast land, vast resources, abundant resources, and a large army, without even a little bit of knowledge?  So I think their temporary success is just a matter of luck.  "

    Jin Yongtai is an absolute fan of Ming Dynasty and highly respects Ming Dynasty.

    Although he was excluded from doing business in the Ming Dynasty, this did not stop him from yearning for the Ming Dynasty.

    Because in this era, the Ming Empire was like the modern United States to the people of its surrounding countries.

    Although businessmen and envoys from various countries came to the Ming Dynasty, they would encounter all kinds of contempt, rejection and all kinds of unfairness, but they still could not let them give up their yearning for the Ming Dynasty.

    This concept is similar to that of modern public intellectuals. Although they complain and slander the United States, they will definitely go to the United States and even get an American passport if they have the opportunity.

    If you like someone, send him/her to Daming, because that is heaven!

    I hate sending someone to Ming Dynasty, because that is hell!

    If this modern poem is modified, it would actually be quite appropriate for the people of the countries surrounding the Ming Dynasty in this era.

    Because Kim Yong-tae, a Korean man standing next to King Charles, had this in mind.

    "Yongtai Jun, although I agree with your views many times. But on the situation of the Later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, my views are different from yours."

    "It's rare that Zhao Zhenchang actually refuted Jin Yongtai.

    You know, Zhao Zhenchang has been working with Jin Yongtai for a long time. As Zhao Zhenchang himself said, Jin Yongtai is the one who makes the decisions and gives orders most of the time, while Zhao Zhenchang only needs to listen to Jin Yongtai.  That's it.

    ¡°Even more so, Zhao Zhenchang doesn¡¯t even have his own point of view.

    Therefore, after Zhao Zhenchang¡¯s remarks, Jin Yongtai was stunned.

    He never imagined that the guy who usually always agreed with his words would have the courage to express a different point of view today.

    "Oh, what on earth is going on?"

    King Charles was not in the mood to pay attention to Jin Yongtai's thoughts. He was now obsessed with getting some information about Hou Jin from Zhao Zhenchang.

    ¡°And what Zhao Zhenchang just said, King Charles fully agreed with it.

    Because according to the normal development of history, the Ming Dynasty will indeed be defeated by the Jurchens who have risen up against the Black Mountains and White Waters, and will also ruin such a huge empire.

    Of course, the reasons for this are very complicated. First of all, there were internal conflicts within the Ming Empire, and Li Zicheng¡¯s rebel army was also the culprit who consumed the last breath of vitality of the Ming Empire, and then it was the Jurchens¡¯ turn to take advantage.

    There are some very coincidental things here, that is, Li Zicheng's subordinate Liu Zongmin seized Chen Yuanyuan, which made Wu Sangui angry and defected to Houjin for the beauty, and directly opened Shanhaiguan to let the whip's cavalry go south directly.

    In fact, Wu Sangui intended to surrender to Li Zicheng at that time.

    Who knows why Liu Zongmin did such a thing.

    As a man with modern knowledge, King Charles certainly knew this period of history.

    Therefore, he felt that although Zhao Zhenchang was not very good, he still had a keen eye.

    Because in fact, this is the case. The Jurchens finally defeated the Ming Dynasty and became the masters of the beautiful country.

    " Jin Yongtai's vision was much worse, because he did not see the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and always thought that the boss's Ming Empire could still sustain it.

    ¡°Actually, the Ming Empire is already riddled with decay.

    The crumbling building is about to collapse, but no one wants to expose it.

    "The Jurchens of the Hou Jin Dynasty were brave and good at fighting, and they were not afraid of death in battles. This was far beyond the comparison of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. At the same time, because the Jurchens lived in poor mountains and rivers, they wanted to change their lives, so  Only through war and plunder, so in the Later Jin Jurchen, any man who reached the age of thirteen could go into battle with a sword, but what were the thirteen-year-old children in the Ming Dynasty doing?"

    Ignoring Jin Yongtai and not waiting for Jin Yongtai to continue speaking, Zhao Zhenchang began to talk about the things he saw in Houjin.

    "Now Hou Jin has annexed some tribes in western Mongolia. They have incorporated the Mongolian cavalry into their own combat troops. At the same time, because of those small Mongolian tribes, Hou Jin's strength has suddenly increased a lot, because  They have a large source of war horses"

    Zhao ZhenchangIt was about Hou Jin's war against Mongolia. King Charles secretly remembered it in his heart. At the same time, he thought: It seems that Hou Jin has now begun to wage war against Mongolia. Fortunately, Hou Jin has not completely conquered Mongolia.  The tribes in the west were conquered, so they are still weak today.

    After the Hou Jin Dynasty conquered all the tribes in western Mongolia, it would be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

    In normal history, the development of Houjin is indeed like this.

    Because Nurhachi of the Later Jin Dynasty felt that he was not a match for the Ming Dynasty, and in order to have a source of troops and horses, he set his sights on the tribes in eastern Mongolia that were connected to the Later Jin Dynasty.

    You must know that the Mongols are a horseback nation, but any teenage man can hold a bow and mount a horse to fight. This is an excellent source of troops.

    It is precisely because of such a strategy that Hou Jin gradually increased his strength and became able to challenge the Ming Empire.
