After more than forty hours of sailing, the naval fleet finally returned to Tianjin.

When Lisa and the others saw the oil tankers, supply ships, and dock landing ships moored here, they were all dumbfounded, and these giants became miracles in their eyes.

The earth is still snowing, which shows that there was heavy snow a few days ago.

Wang Yue had already returned to his heart, and after arranging the work of the navy, he and Li Zixiong took the guard platoon and led three amphibious assault vehicles to Tianjin Wei. Lisa and her father were also with her, and as future business people, it was necessary to understand the situation in the starting point city.

It's still good to have this assault vehicle, you can play beach landing 40 kilometers away from the shore. Therefore, Wang Yue chose this car to go to Tianjin and then return to the starting point.

Tianjin Wei is more than 30 kilometers away from Dagukou, and although the road conditions are not as good as those of Jingshi, it will not take an hour. Especially now that the weather is cold and the road surface is already freezing hard.

There is air conditioning in the car, so it is warm as spring. Wearing the red down jacket that had been issued to her, Lisa kept looking inside the assault vehicle, occasionally looking out of it. Wang Yue's surprise to her became more and more and bigger, making her feel more and more mysterious.

Schozin was in another assault car, and he, like other European captives, had completely abandoned any illusions after seeing so many modern ships. He even secretly assessed in his heart what kind of impact this force would have on the world.

The sea-blue camouflage amphibious armored assault vehicle suddenly appeared under the city of Tianjin, but the soldiers guarding the city were frightened, thinking that some monster was coming.

Before they could react, the assault vehicle had already driven to the city gate. After Li Zixiong got out of the car, he showed the official seal to the soldiers at the gate of the city, which dispelled their concerns.

The three cars passed through the city gate, drove into the downtown area of Tianjin, and went straight to the yamen of the governor of Tianjin. Such a strange car aroused the curiosity and panic of the people in the city, and people avoided it one after another.

Tianjin urban area and Jingshi are incomparable, much smaller, far from the kind of metropolis of later generations.

However, because it is a place where grain is transferred, and there is a Changlu salt field nearby, salt merchants and grain merchants gather here. It has led to the prosperity of this place, and countless businesses have gathered here, and their business scope is very wide, so the urban area of Tianjin is also very lively.

The sound of the assault vehicle is much louder than that of the Land Rover, after all, it is a diesel engine, and the huge sound makes it a street tiger, so it almost unimpeded to the governor's yamen.

It's not that the driver and soldier know the way, but that the city gate has already asked for directions. What's more, in ancient times, urban construction had a fixed style, and the yamen station was usually in the center of the city, in a straight line with the city gate.

The Tianjin Governor's Yamen looked very old and dilapidated, and Wang Yue knew that this was due to the tradition of officials not cultivating the yamen, but in fact it was all about saving face.

The arrival of the three assault vehicles made the soldiers at the entrance of the governor's ya, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they grabbed them one by one with knives, and they didn't know how to deal with the assault vehicles.

Wang Yue and Li Zixiong got out of the car together, and in order to meet the governor of Tianjin this time, they all changed into traditional official uniforms and followed the customs.

When these soldiers saw the strange car and the two young officials got down, they calmed down a little.

"You go and inform Lord He, and say that Lord Sihua of the Shuntian Mansion is coming to visit." Li Zixiong said to the soldiers guarding the door.

He Shishou, the current governor of Tianjin, is in his fifties this year, and he is a jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli, and he is the governor of Tianjin with the title of imperial history.

He still heard about Wang Yue, and when he heard that he was coming to visit, he immediately ordered someone to welcome Wang Yue to the back hall.

After sitting down for tea, He Shishouke asked, "Lord Wang suddenly came here, is there any military business?" ”

He Shishou's thin face has white hair and white beard. However, he was wearing a third-grade official robe, and a peacock patch was embroidered on his chest, which made his emaciated body quite majestic.

Wang Yue has been engaged in the east and west of Dagukou for several days, and he really doesn't know anything, mainly because Wang Yue's movements are too fast, and he has made so many modern ships in minutes.

"Lord He, Xiaguan has recently received a batch of ships, so he bought a piece of land in Zhigu to build a port to anchor. This time, I am here to inform adults about this. Wang Yue said politely.

Tianjin is not far from Jingshi, so of course He Shishou has heard of Wang Yue and the wealth of the starting point city, and there are already goods from the starting point city being sold in Tianjin city.

"Lord Wang, the imperial court has always been very strict in managing maritime trade, and your actions have made it very difficult for Benxian." He Shishou said with a frown.

He also thought that Wang Yue was going to engage in maritime trade, and he had seen the goods in the starting point city, which were both novel and expensive.

Wang Yue took out a silver ticket of five thousand taels and handed it to He Shishou, and said with a smile: "This is a little respect from the lower officials, and in addition, I also brought some gifts to the adults." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Li Zixiong and said, "Take it in." ”

The soldiers of the guard platoon moved in more than a dozen packaging boxes, large and small, these are hot water kettles, mirrors, glass tea sets, these things He Shishou knows, how much can they be worth, he has a spectrum in his heart, according to the market price of at least 20,000 taels.

He Shishou made a resignation and said: "Lord Wang is too polite, how can this be made." ”

"The lower official may have to rely on the adult in the future, please do not shirk."

Wang Yue said and took out a pair of reading glasses from a box and asked He Shishou to try the prescription. There are several pairs in this box, all of which are of different degrees.

He Shishou is quite satisfied with this reading glasses, Wang Yue's port construction problem is not big, just turn a blind eye, in the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, this is really not a matter.

He is an old fritter in officialdom, Wang Yue is considered an upstart, it is said that Zhou Guozhang organized people to impeach him, but he did not participate in him.

So he didn't want to be this villain himself, his calculation was to report it truthfully and let the court watch it, after all, Jinyiwei was not blind, and such a big movement in Dagukou would spread sooner or later.

Tianjin General Ding Chengheng was there, and Wang Yue also prepared a gift to send it.

These things are not worth much, but they are worth a lot in the eyes of people in this era. Wang Yue felt that the work that should be done still had to be done, and it was not a matter if it could be settled with money, not to mention that there was not much money, and there was a lot of trouble.

On January 25, 1637, the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month of the ninth year of Chongzhen. Wang Yue, who had been away from home for more than 20 days, returned to the starting point city, and there were still ten days before the New Year.

Three days later, more than half a month later than in history, the Bingzi rebellion began.

In order to prevent the Ming Dynasty from sending a large army to support Korea, Huang Taiji sent Jilharang to garrison Shenyang. Duoduo was sent to guard the mouth of the Liao River and block the reinforcements of the Ming army. Huang Taiji personally led an army of 120,000 to conquer Korea, and Daishan, Dolgon, Hauge and others all followed.

Huang Taiji has made up his mind this time, and he will win with one blow. All the bannermen of the Eight Banners were dispatched, and the army also included the soldiers of the Mongol left and right battalions and part of the Han army, and the conquest of Korea became a victory that he had to obtain.

Huang Taiji has a long history of expeditions in his life, has absolute tactical experience, he personally formulated a battle plan, from the moment of the attack, the target is the Korean royal capital of Seoul, the city along the way simply ignored, ordered Dolgon and Hauge to lead the left and right flanks of the army, straight to Seoul.

It took only twelve days for the army of the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mongol Left and Right Battalions to arrive at Seoul, the royal city of Korea, and completely surrounded Seoul, causing the Korean royal family to fall into complete panic.

The tactical effect of this hand was very large, and the Korean Injo Li was caught off guard. The scholars and people in Seoul were in a mess at once, and everyone was not thinking about resisting the invasion of the Manchu Eight Banners and the Mongol left and right camps, but about escaping from Seoul as soon as possible.

Knowing that Seoul could not be defended, Li Liang led the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to retreat to Namhansan Fortress, and at the same time sent all his family members to Ganghwa Island and sent envoys to negotiate with Huang Taiji, hoping to delay time.

Hwang Tae-gil sent a large army to surround Namhansanseong on the one hand, and sent Dolgon on the other hand to attack Ganghwa Island, so that the two-pronged approach wanted to completely cut off Li Liang's illusions.
