Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 107 Hou Jin's Strategy

"Everyone has finished circulating the "Jiuzhou Newspaper" of the Liao Army in Southern Liao, what do you think?" Huang Taiji ordered the first newspaper of the Liao Army to be circulated above the court hall.

This is a pain for the Jin officials in the court. They have worked hard to learn Chinese. The "Kyushu News" still uses distorted simplified characters, and it is difficult for them to understand what they are talking about.

"It is very likely that the Liao army opened a bank because they did not have enough money to support them to do so many tricks. My ministers saw that they were running newspapers and building ships, so it must be because of financial constraints." Han civil official Fan Wencheng spoke first.

"That's right, it coincides with my thoughts!" Huang Taiji's eyes were burning like a torch, "I wonder if there is a way to take this opportunity to bring down the Liao army?"

"My minister has a plan, but it's not a good time to implement it. This plan is simple and feasible. The minister has written it in this bamboo slip. Please read it through Your Majesty."

Fan Wencheng handed over a bunch of bamboo slips to the eunuch in the court hall, and the eunuch presented it to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji opened the bamboo slips, his eyebrows raised slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Fan Aiqing, you still have a way. If this plan works, you will be promoted two levels in a row."

Upgraded two levels in a row!All the Houjin officials who attended the meeting were greatly surprised. What kind of strategy made Huang Taiji so satisfied?They can't help being curious and jealous.

Fan Wencheng didn't show the slightest complacency: "Thanks to His Majesty's love, I just tried my best to help Dajin overcome the difficulties. It doesn't matter if you reward or not."

"Haha, Fan Aiqing is really our Dajin's lucky star!" Huang Taiji said, "You will stay when the meeting ends early, and I have something important to discuss with you."

As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, the eyes of all the ministers and generals fell on Fan Wencheng.Isn't it obvious that Huang Taiji left Fan Wencheng alone?

The one surnamed Fan is about to take over!Almost everyone thinks so.

Under the hot and jealous eyes, Fan Wencheng remained calm.After the officials dispersed, he stayed alone in the empty hall, and on the throne was the master of Houjin.

"Xiandou, do you know why I left you alone?"

"The humble minister is dull, and the humble minister does not know."

"Do you know what the biggest threat our Dajin Kingdom is facing?" Huang Taiji put his right hand on the armrest, rubbing the expensive mahogany armrest uneasily.

This little move was not noticed by Fan Wencheng, who was looking directly at the ground with his head down, not daring to look directly at Huang Taiji.

"Is Your Majesty talking about a long-term threat or an imminent threat?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"You might as well tell me, what is the long-term threat, and what is the imminent threat?"

"In the long run, the emerging Liao army in southern Liaoning poses the greatest threat to us, even greater than Ming's Guanning line of defense. But the imminent threat is not a man-made disaster, but a natural disaster. It is cold every year, and we There is not much food left in Dajin, if we cannot raise enough food and grass in time, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to survive the coming cold winter..." Fan Wencheng said cautiously.

Every year, cold winter is a problem that Daikin has to face.To solve this problem, for Hou Jin, it is nothing more than robbing!Go and grab Goryeo, Mongolia and Ming who are weaker than you!Because they want to survive, they will be ruthless!But this year, the Liao army appeared in southern Liaoning, which made Dajin extremely embarrassed!You said that if you go to rob Goryeo, Chu Yun, who regards Goryeo as an ally, will probably stab his own chrysanthemum in the back, and even if you go to rob Mongolia and Daming, the dynamics of the Liao army will make Huang Taiji use a mouse, which is more disgusting than Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town Hundreds of times.

"You're right. This is a huge crisis since I established the country with great gold. If it doesn't work out, this great country will collapse. What do you think we should do?" Huang Taiji asked.

"There are only two ways to choose. One is to learn from the Ming Dynasty and even the Liao army to learn their advanced planting and management techniques, but this way can bring us huge benefits in the long run, but it can't solve the urgent need right now. Instead, it is the same as before. Go grab it! As long as this winter is slowed down and reforms are made quickly, we will no longer worry about food and grass in the next cold winter!" Fan Wencheng's tone became sharp.

"Snatch? Whom? The Fu Liao army is watching in the south of Liaoning. We are afraid to throw a mouse unless we go to force the Fu Liao army. But I am afraid that even if the Fu Liao army is wiped out by then, the foundation of our Dajin Kingdom will be exhausted. .”,

"Your Majesty, the new firearms we have developed are currently only equipped with some Jianzhou Niulu from the Zhenghuang Banner. It is not good for a decisive battle with the Liao Army. However, we can go west to rob the Mongols of food, plunder their cattle and sheep, and even go around Pass through Monan, and attack Datong, Shanxi and other places that are rich and prosperous in Ming Dynasty!"

What a crazy idea!If it is said to go to plunder the Mongols, it coincides with Huang Taiji's imagination, but wouldn't it be too crazy to bypass the Guanning line of defense and raid Datong for thousands of miles!

"Shanxi is thousands of miles away. This move is too risky. The Liao army is eyeing it. If we take advantage of our main force to advance westward and attack Shengjing from behind, won't we be attacked by the enemy?"

"No. I have been studying the intentions of the Liao army these days and nights, and found that the Liao army and the Ming court are not of one mind. They even detained the envoys of the Ming court. If the Liao army can be commanded by the court, we will soon We spread rumors in the capital of the Ming Dynasty that the Liao army had detained the angels. But we didn’t do so, because we knew that even if the Ming court knew the news, the Liao army overseas would be fine.”

"Since the Fu Liao army is happy to see us fighting with the Ming court, they will definitely think twice before taking action to see if it is in their interests to attack our Shengjing. My ministers think that the establishment of a bank by the Fu Liao army must be due to the recent shortage of funds, unless Our Dajin took the initiative to provoke them, otherwise they would not be willing to fight a big battle for a while. If we eliminate Houjin, then the Ming court will be the next one to clean up the Liao army!"

"The golden family of the Mongolian tribe has declined, and we just took this opportunity to completely eliminate them, bring all the Mongolian tribes in Monan into our territory, and raid Datong by the way, shocking the Ming court, and rewriting the glory of our great gold! Decaying Ming Dynasty The imperial court will definitely not be the opponent of our Eight Banners soldiers equipped with new firearms!"

Fan Wencheng listed the benefits of going west one by one.

"You're right!" Huang Taiji slapped the armrest violently, "I've had enough of the anger of the Liao army these days, and I'm determined to get back some face from the Mongolian tribes and the Ming court. I have the Eight Banners of Jianzhou and the new The established Four Banners of Mongolia, with new firearms, will be able to regain their glory!"
