    Huang Taiji pulled Mang Gurtai to the corner of the tent and shouted in a low voice: "Fifth brother, what are you thinking about? We have no way back!" Although Mang Gurtai did not argue, there was still a look of injustice on his face.  Slowly turning away to avoid Huang Taiji's gaze, it seemed that he was still considering surrender.  Huang Taiji tugged at him anxiously again to bring Mang Gurtai's attention back to him. He emphasized his tone and said: "Fifth brother, we have killed so many Han people in so many years and sold millions of Han women.  We have no way to retreat after giving the Mongols. Mao Wenlong has a deep hatred for us. If we really let him lead the Dongjiang Army back to Liaodong and wait for him to gain a foothold, the Ming Dynasty will never give us a good life. The Ming Dynasty will also definitely respond to the border conflict.  If you pretend not to be able to see it, let¡¯s just wait to die!¡± Once Hou Jin surrendered, they would only be able to keep the Jianzhou settlement area assigned to them by the Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago.  Dongjiang Town currently has the most military exploits among the Liaodong people, and there are many Dongjiang generals who will definitely take over most of the Liaodong territory. They are close to Jianzhou and will definitely become the new neighbors of the Hou Jin regime.  More than 300 of Mao Wenlong¡¯s tribesmen were killed by Nurhaci. Now apart from one son, he only has his nephew Mao Chengzuo left.  Almost all the relatives of Chen Jisheng and other senior Dongjiang officers who stayed in Liaodong were found and killed by Nurhaci.  Now that the Dongjiang Army is in North Korea and the Jin Army has occupied Liaozhong, Mao Wenlong and others naturally have nothing to do with them.  But if the Dongjiang Army is allowed to return to the Liaozhong Plain and Houjin retreats to the deep mountains and old forests of Jianzhou, then it would be strange if they don't come to fight with Houjin when the Dongjiang Army is full-fledged, let alone trade daily necessities with Houjin.  Mang Gurtai sniffed and lowered his head silently.  Huang Taiji shook his arm hard and forced Mang Gurtai to look up at him: "If we surrender, what will happen to the people under our banner? What will they eat? Who will be willing to trade with us if we return to Jianzhou? Liaodong  The Han people will never forget this hatred. As long as we take the first step to withdraw, we will have no end. Surrender is a dead end. We must establish an independent country." Mang Gurtai nodded: "Yes, but keep fighting.  I think it's a dead end and Huang Shi will have to come back sooner or later. "" Otherwise!" Huang Taiji retorted disapprovingly: "Huang Shi was transferred to the south. I thought carefully about whether he would come back within ten years or in this life.  He can't come back. First of all, Huang Shi was unfamiliar with the chaos there within a few years; secondly, even if he was very lucky, he would only be more feared.  "Bring him back." Looking at Mang Gurtai's blank eyes, Huang Taiji knew that he must encourage his courage because the strategic situation of Houjin was so dangerous now that everyone within him had to go all out.  Just fine.  Huang Taiji took a deep breath: "Fifth brother, think carefully about why the Ming Dynasty transferred Huang Shi? Isn't it because the civil servants began to be afraid of him? That's why they wanted to cause him some trouble. Give him a beating.  . I guess the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty are likely to stumble him, so they say that he will probably not be able to quell the rebellion in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty. He will definitely not be able to come back." Mang Gurtai asked quickly: "Just now.  You clearly said that it was entirely possible for him to end the chaos immediately because of his luck. Well, I think this is very possible because Huang Shi cannot be judged by common sense. "But that's what I said.  The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, such as Yuan Chonghuan, are already jealous of Huang Shi and Mao Wenlong's achievements. If Huang Shi really pacified Southwest, wouldn't they be crazy with jealousy?  Where did the civil servants who transferred Huang Shi back to the Ming Dynasty put their faces? When Huang Shi arrived, the place became peaceful. When he left, the place became chaotic. The more capable he is, the more he shows his ability.  Is it because of the incompetence of those rats? "Here Huang Taiji laughed at himself because he just realized that he had unconsciously classified the Hou Jin regime into the ranks of Huangshi who had the ability to pacify it. But Huang Taiji immediately revealed it again.  Confident expression: "Fifth brother. It is better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. Only if we work hard ourselves. Only if the Ming Dynasty cannot bite us down can we have a way to survive. No matter how powerful Huangshi is, he only has these ten thousand soldiers. The Ming Dynasty will not allow a general to have too many soldiers."  As long as we can bring in all those Mongolians with 100,000 or even 200,000 armors, we won't be afraid of Huang Shi if he comes back." Mang Gurtai muttered with some dissatisfaction.  "This is too dangerous. You place all your hopes on the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, as if they are all a bunch of short-sighted villains." "Aren't they?" Huang Taiji stared at Mang Gurtai with bright eyes, his eyes raised.  He asked again in a tone of voice: "Aren't they?" "Alas -" Mang Gurtai let out a long sigh, and all the tense muscles in his body suddenly relaxed, as if he had lost the motivation to continue arguing.  "If Ming Dynasty can agree with?In the battle of Zongji Sarhu, even Father Khan could not save the day; if the Ming Dynasty could work together, we would have been starved to death in the mountains by Xiong Tingbi; if the Ming Dynasty did not undermine each other, we would not be able to capture Guangning; if the Ming Dynasty could work together, we would not be able to capture Guangning.  If there was harmony between civil and military forces, they would not only give Mao Wenlong 200,000 military pay, nor would they transfer Huang Shi away!  " Huang Taiji took a step back and opened his arms wide, as if to embrace everything in the tent. His palms were tilted upwards, and the smile on his face was filled with endless ridicule: "What's the result?  The town of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, Xiong Tingbi passed down the Nine Borders, and Mao Wenlong could only stay in North Korea. Huangshi was transferred to Fujian, and we - are still the masters of Liaoyang!  "After a few chuckles, Huang Taiji retracted his arms and took a step forward: "Fifth Brother, I guarantee you that the civil servants of the country would rather negotiate peace with us in the end than let Huang Shi come back to make military exploits.  !  I saw them all at once.  " Mang Gurtai sighed again. He touched his head and said helplessly: "Every time you say it clearly, it's okay for other people. But when you encounter Yellowstone, it's not the same thing. I'm scared.  " "Fifth brother, believe me again, we must persevere and we will definitely get out of this predicament.   November 16, Sixth Year of the Apocalypse.  The last time Liu Qingyang wrote from Changsheng Island that everything was going very smoothly.  Bao Bowen knew that he would not spend too much time on Changsheng Island.  A few days ago, the Fujian Clippers arrived at Changsheng Island in advance. The fleet responsible for the relocation had returned to Huangshi and gave Bao Bowen an order. It did not surprise him that all the workers and machines on Changsheng Island would be moved to Fujian.  The strict system of Changsheng Island for a period of time has once again exerted good effects. Every day, family members of military households are sent on the road south. All military households and soldiers are divided into grades. Changsheng Island authorities will according to the importance of these people.  Decide what they do.  A large number of combat troops will go south along the Grand Canal under the leadership of officers. Anyway, they are not of great significance to production work.  So it didn't matter if they were delayed for some time on the road and a long march would be meaningful for training the troops.  Except for 70% of the combat troops who will take the 6th route, the most common military men and their families will not use sea transportation.  Before the ship returns, Bao Bowen will complete most of the dispatch work. Only the last batch of skilled workers who insist on production will be left on the island. These workers will board the ship together with the dismantled machines from Nakajima after standing up for the last shift.  Head to Fujian.  In Huangshi¡¯s plan, the entire relocation work will be completed within three months, which means no later than the end of November.  The last group of people from Changsheng Island are about to set off and will arrive in Fujian before next year and resume production quickly.  Not to mention the production capacity problem, the four-month deadline set by Huangshi itself is enough to dwarf the entire Ming Dynasty.  If other military towns had to complete such a large-scale mobilization, it would take more than four months for 10,000 combat troops and a year for tens of thousands of military households.  Not to mention that Changsheng Island still has a large number of machines that need to be relocated.  So far, Bao Bowen is very satisfied with the progress of the work and has also designed plans for the disassembly and shipment of various machine tools.  After the fleet returned from Fujian yesterday, Bao Bowen immediately started loading as planned.  Everything was carried out strictly according to the pre-planned plan, and the brand-new engineering equipment - the pulley block also played a big role.  The combination of rigorous planning and smart tools can save a few days to work around your current schedule.  Bao Bowen believes that five days later will be November 21, the sixth year of Tianqi.  The last group of people on Changsheng Island can set off nearly ten days before the deadline set by Huangshi.  This month, Nakajima produced another 800 breastplates. Bao Bowen shipped these armors to Japan.  In addition to these breastplates, he also produced fifteen six-pound cannons in these days. Because there was no need to produce field artillery carriages, the production rate of these artillery was faster than normal. According to Huangshi's order, it will be left to the Dongjiang Town Zuo Association for use.  In the defense of Fuzhou and other castles.  Mao Wenlong recommended Zhang Pan, a veteran Dongjiang general, as Huangshi's successor for the sake of stability in Zuoxie.  Now Zhang Pan is already the temporary deputy commander-in-chief. Zhang Pan can officially take up the post after the Ministry of War approves this appointment.  Before Huang Shi left, he gave instructions to Bao Bowen that if Liu Qingyang could borrow enough money, the remaining balance in the warehouse would be handed over to Zhang Pan.  So after receiving the good news from Liu Qingyang not long ago, Bao Bowen ordered the warehouse to be opened and sent people to send the remaining 60,000 taels of silver to Lushun. This is almost equivalent to one and a half years of Zuo Xie's military pay.  Zhang Pan was pleasantly surprised.  After all these years, Huang Shi still has feelings for Dongjiang Town.  Although Changsheng Island is also very difficult, after all, he is a time traveler. Huangshi can do maritime trade, exhibition technology, and is familiar with history, so he can deal with party struggles.  However, his old boss Mao Wenlong did not have these abilities but wanted to rescue more refugees from Liaodong. Huang Shi admired this and was willing to try his best to make Mao Shuai live a comfortable life.Some.  Mao Wenlong had no idea about Huangshi taking away the military households. Tens of thousands of military households were missing. For him, although he lost some manpower, in turn, he also lost tens of thousands of mouths to eat.  Moreover, Mao Wenlong is also from the south of the Yangtze River. Fujian has abundant rainfall and is close to the sea. It is better than Liaodong, which has two droughts in three years. So some of his subordinates go to the south to enjoy the blessings. Mao Wenlong can only be happy for them.  ¡­ ¡­ On November 17, the sixth year of Tianqi, the Chief of Ceremony in the Capital yesterday sent a report on Liaodong, which made Tianqi frown. Today, he specially summoned the cabinet to inquire about this matter.  The meeting has just begun.  Tianqi asked angrily: "My dear friends, who allowed the Governor of Liaodong to send people to mourn the slave chief? I don't remember giving such permission to the Governor of Liaodong." Wei Zhongxian had privately given the approval to three cabinet members.  Therefore, Gu Bingqian's anger towards the emperor was already clear in his mind.  He said calmly: "Returning to the emperor, the governor of Liaodong did not report it in advance, but the old minister thought that maybe, as the governor of Liaodong said, this was an extraordinary time, and things happened in a hurry and the opportunity could not be missed, and it would never come back. Perhaps it was excusable for the governor of Liaodong to make a decisive decision first.  . The veteran thought that the rights and wrongs of this matter could be discussed again, but the governor of Liaodong did have a fair heart." Gu Bingqian talked about a lot of substantive responsibilities and did not bear this kind of responsibility towards Gu Bingqian at all.  I have a thorough understanding of his character and have long been accustomed to it.  The young emperor knew that his assistant was a person who always had sloppy shoulders. The meaning of what he said just now was basically to excuse Yuan Chonghuan.  Seeing that the other two cabinet ministers were silent, Tianqi knew that they agreed with Gu Bingqian's view.  Since the cabinet's opinions were so unified, Tian Qi immediately felt guilty. He felt that his anger might be unreasonable, so his tone suddenly relaxed: "It's a major national event. It's a matter of military service and sacrifice. Such a big thing, the Governor of Liaodong also  You should ask me first what I mean. But what you said makes sense. Perhaps the situation at that time was so urgent that the governor of Liaodong could not ask for instructions in advance." Since I finished speaking.  Gu Bingqian kept his eyes and noses concerned. He had already contributed once in today's court meeting. Although he had a high status as Cabinet Assistant, he was the first to fire. Now it was the turn of others to take the stage. We all share the same palace as ministers.  The risk is shared equally.  When Feng Quan saw this, he coughed and cleared his throat and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yuan did things a little too carefully this time, but Mr. Yuan has always been like this. He is a bit arrogant, but he still has the courage to do whatever he wants. The Art of War has  Yun: If you don't want to be punished by your order, didn't Huang Shuai make his own decision last time? " Tianqi frowned again, recalled for a while and shook his head: "That's not right, didn't you all do it last time when Huang Shuai went to Liaoyang without permission?  Do you want me to punish him? Why did you all agree that the governor of Liaodong sent someone to Liaoyang without permission? "My lord, Huang Shuaiyong was brave last time, but he was still a warrior after all." This time it was Ding Shaoshi's turn to take action.  He raised his thumb and said forcefully: "The governor of Liaodong has read tens of thousands of books and has the courage and insight to devise strategies! The memorial of the governor of Liaodong made it very clear that this time he called it "filial piety" to explore the true and false status of the captives."  "Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing the roulette wheel turning in front of him again, Gu Fu suddenly raised his head and his eyes shot out two rays of light: "The envoy sent by the governor of Liaodong this time is also a courageous and knowledgeable person. According to the memorial of the governor of Liaodong:  He concluded that "Eight dogs thrown into the same prison will be devoured". The governor of Liaodong's careful arrangements have successfully made the old slaves suspicious of each other and they will start killing each other soon. "Your Majesty!" Feng Quan shouted.  Then he attracted Tianqi's eyes and said seriously: "The memorial of the governor of Liaodong said: He also justly ordered Jiannu to immediately put down his arms, surrender, and let the court punish him. This made Jiannu's sons very frightened!" "Yes!"  Your Majesty." Without giving Tianqi time to think, Ding Shaoshi followed closely behind Feng Quan and shouted: "The governor of Liaodong also said that he had decided to accept the recruitment and was even willing to offer his two younger brothers to show his sincerity. This part of Ding Shaoshi's history is original.  No. In this time and space, under the threat of Huangshi's force, Yuan Chonghuan boasted in the memorial after the mourning trip that Yuan Chonghuan was able to detect the enemy's situation, used counterintuitive tactics to cause civil strife in the Eight Banners, and ordered Huang Taiji to surrender immediately and let him be dealt with.  It would be nice to come up with something real But Ding Shaoshi went on to say: "The governor of Liaodong has written a letter to express his trust and comfort by politely rejecting Hong Taixian's brother's suggestion as a pledge.  According to the governor of Liaodong, after hearing the news, Mrs. Hong was so grateful that she burst into tears and praised my great virtues in the Ming Dynasty.  " "The Holy Governor of Liaodong is a man who has the power to convince people from afar, the virtue to dispel doubts, the kindness to form vassals, and the ability to understand the sincerity of foreigners and possess both virtue and talent.  If it weren't for our emperor's sage to go to heaven to cut off¡ª¡ª" Gu Bingqian shook his head hard to emphasize the tone, making the muscles on his face tremble. At the same time, he shouted: "I can't let down such a good minister"?I would like to congratulate my emperor!  " After saying that, Gu Bingqian stood up shakily and planned to kneel down to salute. Feng Quan on the other side saw this and quickly stood up. He knelt down with Gu Fu and praised: "The country has spent tens of millions of dollars since the Holy Emperor established the rebellion.  Today, the governor of Liaodong calmed down the situation with tens of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers, which could not be calmed down for six years.  Manipulating a prisoner is like controlling a child, which is a marvelous skill through the ages!  Wei Chen congratulates the Holy Spirit.  " Ding Shaoshi couldn't think of any good words for a while. He just knelt down and pulled his neck and shouted: "Wei ministers congratulate the Holy One.  " "Okay, okay, everyone, get up.  Tianqi smiled and waved his hand to calm down the cabinet. When these three people yelled, the emperor immediately threw away his unhappiness. The more the young emperor thought about it, the more he felt that his anger just now was indeed unreasonable. So he smiled and said to  The cabinet said: "Then draw up the votes and everything will be done according to the wishes of the governor of Liaodong. As long as Jiannu sincerely surrenders and withdraws from the border wall honestly.  I can spare them from death.  "" Wei Zhongxian didn't say a word at the meeting. When the cabinet drafted the vote, he didn't interrupt. Instead, he walked back to his room alone and called out the confidant eunuch who had written to him: "Immediately write the draft to the governor of Liaodong."  .  " "Follow your orders, godfather.  " The little eunuch quickly laid out the letter paper. He sharpened the ink with his hands and feet. Then he picked up the pen and dipped it in thick ink. He raised his head and asked: "What does the godfather want his son to write?  " Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said calmly to the young eunuch: "Tell the Liaodong governor that this time he took the initiative without permission and our family took over it for him. We still trust him.  But always be careful.  Don't trust the barbarians completely, be sure nothing goes wrong Yeah.  Tell the governor of Liaodong to get things done in Liao as soon as possible to avoid long nights and long dreams. When the time comes, our family will personally ask for credit from Lord Long Live for him.  ¡±?¡­??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? On November 28, the sixth year of Tianqi, Liu Qingyang of Dengzhou sent off the first batch of sea trade fleet at the dock today. As a large amount of funds began to be received, merchants began to pay off the remaining balances for chartering ships and buying goods.  Currently, in the accounts of the Dark Council, they will open dozens of new businesses and countless shops. These merchants have already received a unified price list. According to the agreement, they must all buy goods at a unified price. In the future, they will wait for the specialties of the south.  After the goods are shipped back, the Dark Council will naturally give them a unified price list. Since these merchants have unified supply and marketing channels, their operating costs will naturally be lower than those of ordinary merchants. However, Liu Qingyang does not intend to maliciously lower prices yet.  Arousing the hostility of other time-honored brands. Secondly, with the Dark Council as a unified supply backend, its supporters have unparalleled advantages in business information and Ming's communication methods. Other individual companies want to surpass the Dark Council in terms of responsiveness.  It was absolutely impossible. At this time, Huangshi also received a report from Liu Qingyang in Fujian. The figure of 2.7 million taels of silver was far more than Huangshi expected. Although most of the funds would be used to rent ships and open shops, the amount of the money was for sea trade.  The profit is too high and it seems that it will not be too difficult to recover the capital. Liu Qingyang plans to invest 800,000 taels of silver for the first time to buy local products. He suggests that he should go to the old trade route of Japan first, after all, they are familiar with it.  Sugar and silk from Zhejiang can more than double the profit after being shipped to Japan. At the same time, Japan is in urgent need of ironware and cloth. This time, Funing Town will be able to produce it itself. The red copper, gold and silver produced in Japan can also be brought back to the Ming Dynasty.  There will be huge profits. Kazuo Kuroshima can help solve part of the problem of sailors and routes in Fujian, and he can also recruit some more sailors, which will not be a big problem. After shipping to Japan, he can also use the warehouses and sales channels of the Choshu clan.  There won¡¯t be much trouble. If there is no cargo loss at sea, the 800,000 yuan of goods can be converted into more than 1.5 million taels of silver after being shipped to Japan, and then purchased into Japanese copper and gold and silver, and the value will be shipped back.  Don¡¯t be too surprised if it exceeds three million taels. In addition, Huangshi will definitely be able to turn around the funds within half a year through the sales network in Shandong and other places. So apart from pirates and typhoon Liu Qingyang, I don¡¯t see anything that can prevent Huangshi from getting rich. Of course, Japan.  This country is still too small. If the amount of goods is too large, Huangshi is worried that the Japanese market will soon be saturated. So what really attracts Huangshi's attention is the Spanish silver. Of course, Huangshi has no intention of going to war with the Spanish.  On this issue, Huangshi's thinking is similar to that of Emperor Wanli, and he knows more than Wanli. Most of the silver in Luzon comes from South America and Africa. As long as China cannot get involved in these places, attacking Manila may not be of much benefit.  It¡¯s just that it¡¯s a little late to develop good-neighborly relations with Spain because the powerful Dutch East India Company is also involved in this sea area. These Dutch are trying to monopolize the trade between China and the Spanish. In addition to the Dutch, the pirates on the Fujian Sea are also involved.  Coveting this maritime Silk Road.  They looted the merchants coming and going.??Forcing passing merchants to pay tolls.  Of course, these actions were greatly harmful to the Ming Dynasty's financial revenue. However, although the Fujian Navy tried its best to exterminate pirates, pirates still appeared repeatedly.  This is because the profits from sea trade are so attractive. As long as you can successfully rob pirates a few times, you can build a team of thousands of people with the proceeds from robbery.  "With the scale of the Lu merchants at the beginning, they probably won't attract the attention of the Fujian merchants. But sooner or later, they will become the rivals of the Fujian merchants. Hum, many large merchants went to sea, and even the Japanese pirates at least fought with them.  The pirates are inextricably linked, informing the pirates, providing them with intelligence, and helping them recruit sailors. " Huang Shi spoke to Jin Qiude in a very unkind tone, and his chief of staff also listened with a serious expression.  "The Fujian Sea, with its gentle winds and high waves, is nothing more than a bathtub compared to our Liaohai Sea. I don't know if Kuroshima Kazuo's sailors are qualified for naval battles, but their numbers certainly cannot withstand the attrition, so we must vigorously develop our navy to recruit Fujian from the local area."  Sailors. They have been used to big winds and waves in their lives." "It's the commander-in-chief." Jin Qiude agreed with Huang Shidi's judgment, but all this requires money: "Sir, when do you plan to start recruiting sailors?  It seems that it is not absolutely necessary. "This year Yu Zigao just drove the Dutch away from Penghu, and the Ming Navy still has some power in the sea area.  Huang Shi had already been to Xiamen once. The visit of a military general as famous as him gave Yu Zigao a lot of face.  Huang Shi and Yu Zigao also talked happily, at least on the surface they were harmonious.  "However, General Yu's Fujian Navy is constantly being weakened. After repelling the Dutch, the imperial court has ordered the reduction of about 10,000 sailors in Penghu. These 10,000 sailors seem to be the most elite group of soldiers under General Yu. As far as I know  . Seventy or eighty percent of them have become pirates, so the strength of the pirates in the Fujian Sea is probably very impressive." Huang Shi's voice became lower and lower, and the worry on his eyebrows became more and more serious.  "Your Majesty, your subordinates are bold." Jin Qiude has been opposed to Huangshi's plan to advance southwest from the beginning. He has always advocated sending a small symbolic force to fight in Yunnan first and focusing on consolidating the new base area in Fujian.  Then consider the issue of large-scale invasion of Yunnan: "Since ancient times, the way of military strategists is to first consolidate the roots and then expand further. Nowadays, when you have not settled on a stable footing, you are eager to enter Yunnan to quell the rebellion. Your subordinates are afraid that your desires will lead to failure." "Yes."  Huang Shi responded dullly.  Training funds will definitely not be sufficient. If it leans towards the Sixth Army, the Navy will definitely be severely lacking.  Jin Qiude reiterated his previous suggestion: "My lord, let us first form our own navy to get rid of our dependence on Yu Zigao. Then we will exterminate the pirates and expand our strength until the navy can ensure the safety of our sea trade, and then we can conduct large-scale training."  "Sending troops to the southwest to quell the rebellion is the best solution." "I understand your suggestion. But even if we build a navy, we still have to send thousands of soldiers to the southwest to show off."  The cost of soldiers outside will be very high and it will hinder us." Although Jin Qiude's suggestion is relatively safe, Huangshi will have to fight on two fronts and can only spare part of his energy to deal with the pirates while maintaining his strength.  An army thousands of miles away.  In this way, the war against bandits in the Fujian Sea is likely to drag on for a long time, and the war in the southwest will also be far away.  And before the war here ends, the troops in the southwest will continue to bleed Funing Town and constrain Huangshi's financial resources.  "Even if the Fujian navy is unable to suppress the pirates in the Fujian Sea, the worst we can do is to go an extra mile in Zhejiang, which means the profits will be slightly less. Judging from Liu Qingyang's account, maintaining a military expeditionary force of tens of thousands is still enough.  "Navy" Huang Shi shook his head and sighed.  The way of a pirate is to take the time to rob.  The purpose of the government and military is to ensure the safety of a sea area. These different purposes lead to a large cost gap between the two parties: "The Navy is really expensive and time-consuming. Let's put it aside for now. For the time being, we can only count on Yu Zigao."  "General." Most of the pirates in the Fujian Sea are locals in Fujian and are very dependent on the sea trade in the Fujian Sea. Neither the leaders nor the pirates' subordinates are very determined to fight the imperial court to the end.  Besides, the pirate soldiers mainly come from the Fujian continent.  Huang Shi believes that if there are no worries, he can only block the coastline with all his strength and strictly cut off the pirates' supplies and replenishment of soldiers. After all, the pirates in the Fujian Sea will still have no roots.  "After all, the Minhai is still an easy place to deal with. If I can successfully quell the She'an Rebellion, the civil servants in the court will no longer be able to find a reason to prevent me from returning to Liaodong, right?" "Your Excellency, are you still worried about Liaodong?" "I  How can we not be worried? Well, the reason why the old people in the court can dispatch me to the southwest is simply because they want to use good steel on the blade to destroy the slaves without any effort, so they want to send me to deal with the traitors.?The land is luxurious, Chongming, Anbangyan.  If the chaos in the southwest is settled.  And if there are changes in Liao affairs, the emperor will naturally think of me again.  "  December 15th, the sixth year of Tianqi, Liaoyang "In order to show his big heart, the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty no longer wants us to send hostages.  Last month, I sent an envoy to Ningyuan to plead with the Ming Dynasty governor of Liaodong to be kind enough to let our people live.  To show the benevolence of the heaven and earth and prove that the superior country is indeed willing to appease us The governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty agreed that he would no longer buy our people's class from the Mongolian bounty!  " This month Yuan Chonghuan sent two groups of envoys to Liaoyang in succession. Since October of the sixth year of Tianqi, there has been an endless flow of envoys between Liaoyang and Ningyuan. Since there are always envoys galloping on the official roads between Liaoyang and Ningyuan, then  The private trade between the various Mongolian tribes and the Houjin Dynasty resumed. Many leaders of the Mongolian tribes pretended not to see this again. Huang Taiji triumphantly swept around the brothers in the room and loudly introduced this group of people.  The results of Yue Lai and Daming¡¯s diplomacy: ¡°The governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty agreed to our request and then sent someone to read out the credentials of the Ming Dynasty.  We are asked to turn back as soon as possible to avoid offending the wrath of Ming Dynasty Thunder again.  Then he resorted to the combination of kindness and power.  He warned us that when we turn around, An Mingguo will definitely clear up the past grudges and never settle the scores later, letting us put aside all our worries and not have to worry about any future troubles.  " "Hahahahaha" Huang Taiji burst into ecstatic laughter when he said this. When the letter of credence was delivered, Huang Taiji personally went out ten miles from Liaoyang to welcome Yuan Chonghuan's envoy into the city and arranged an extremely grand ceremony: "Fifth brother, you were then  It's such a pity that we're not here. You should have seen the expressions of the Bayan Mongolian herdsmen. Haha, they had just received the announcement from the governor of Liaodong that they would no longer pay the silver reward, and then they heard the Ming Dynasty's announcement that they would forget about us. Haha.  " Mang Gurtai also sneered. He happened to go hunting when Yuan Chonghuan's letter arrived the day before yesterday. Recently, Liaoyang has gradually become more lively. At the end of November, after Yuan Chonghuan expressed his condolences to Nurhachi, the Horqin Mongolian leader suddenly recovered from his illness.  He personally came to Liaoyang to express his condolences to this old relative, and deeply felt sorry for coming to express his condolences to Nurhachi after he fell into the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the poor herders of Mongolia began to defect to the central Liaoning plain. Huang Taiji had ordered the reconstruction of the Mongolian left wing.  He said: "At the end of last month, we just got the oath from the twelve Karaqin Mongolian tribes. They agreed not to go against me, Dajin, as long as we were willing to sell them salt at a low price; at the beginning of the month, we got the oath from the Karaqin Mongolian tribes.  The oath of non-aggression; after receiving the credentials from the governor of Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty the day before yesterday, I have sent people to see Lin Dan Khan, hoping that he can temporarily truce with us.  " Daishan gently touched the rat whiskers under his chin with his hand and squinted his eyes and said: "North Korea and Mongolia have no enmity with us, Dajin. The reason why they are struggling to embarrass us, Dajin, is just to respond to the call of the Ming Dynasty.  It's like the friend who was invited to help in the boxing was bleeding and sweating, but the master kept shrinking back What on earth did the governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty think?  " Huang Taiji stopped his smile and said with a serious face: "The governor of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty was too eager to make meritorious deeds. You can see his urgency in sending envoys here and there. It is obvious that he wanted to get this thing done so much that he did not know how to do it.  chaos.  " "Alas, he is also a pitiful man. It makes me feel sad to hear that.  Amin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up with a pitiful expression: "This Yuan Chonghuan doesn't know how to fight and wants to make meritorious deeds. He's crazy, so he had to take a gamble and met our Sibeile. Alas, I  I really feel for him.  " "If what I expected is correct, Lin Danhan will be worried even if he is not heartbroken after hearing the news. After all, people will die in a war. If there is no reward, then why should Lin Dan Khan fight so hard?  "    "good.  " "So" "So Mao Wenlong is already isolated and helpless.  " "It is we who want to mobilize every soldier we can mobilize to attack Dongjiang Town.  " Huang Taiji stated his plan without hesitation: "Now we have nearly 30,000 Manchurian Eight Banners, plus the Mongolian left and right wings, and we are going to send all 30,000 people to attack North Korea.  At the same time, I also plan to order that all Han people who can achieve military merit can be granted land immediately, and those with outstanding military achievements can directly join the flag.  " Mao Wenlong probably has less than 10,000 fully armored soldiers. Even his cavalry, only 30% of them have armor and food. The weapons are pitiful and the weapons are very crude. Everyone does not believe that he can resist the 30,000 Houjin armor for a long time.   The other three Belles all looked at Huang Taiji quietly. Among them, Mang Gurtai was the most frustrated and the first to jump out and said: "If we don't leave any soldiers, what will we do if others come to raid our hometown?  " "Lin Danhan will definitely hesitate and wait until the situation becomes clear before sending troops.  After he thought about it clearly, he planned to send troops. On that road, Horqin Mongolia could support him for a while; Gaizhou didn't have many soldiers to begin with, and the Zuo Association in Dongjiang Town was in chaos just after Huangshi left.I guess they may not have enough food and grass to attack Liaoyang.  " "What about Liaoxi?  The Guan Ning Army of the Ming Dynasty had thirty-five field battalions, seventy thousand soldiers, and mountains of food and grass.  " Huang Taiji couldn't stop laughing: "Haha, Yuan Chonghuan is nothing more than a rat. Let alone 70,000 soldiers, it is 700,000. What can seven million do in the hands of such a rat?  "After laughing, Huang Taiji raised his head and proudly tapped his hand on his chest: "I alone can defeat a hundred thousand soldiers in Liaoyang, so Yuan Chonghuan will not dare to look directly at the Liaohe River!  "
