211 The plight of the Yehe
"Patriarch, in our hunting ground in the east, there is another figure of the North Korean army, what should we do?"
Sakchi and Luo Dian were chatting heartily, when suddenly a Jurchen warrior came over and whispered in Sakchi's ear in the unique language of the Jurchens.
Sakchi's originally smiling face froze, and then replied with some headache: "Let the warriors in the clan be on guard, and if the other party is numerous, then give up that hunting ground; If the number of fighters on the opposite side is not large, send someone to threaten it, and try not to cause a big dispute. ”
"Yes!"
The warrior was ordered to go.
"Hahaha, let's take a walk, Shopkeeper Luo, let's go to the other side and have a look!"
Sakqi, who had a lot of good things, turned his head and changed his smile again, and pulled Luo Dian to let him lead the way to introduce the distribution map of this industrial area.
"This way, please!"
Rodian enthusiastically took Sackchi around the busy construction site.
It's just that in Luo Dian's heart, there is a little surprise, I'm afraid Sakchi didn't expect that although Luo Dian and his people have only dealt with the Jurchens a few times, he has already learned the Jurchen language, and he just happened to hear the conversation between Fang Cai Sakqi and the clansmen.
However, he didn't show it, he just pretended not to know in front of Sackchi and others, but in his heart he felt that this news might have room for maneuvering, and he was going to report it to the rear base camp after waiting for a while.
In fact, even if there was no report from Luodian, the Hongmen Waiwei Ye had already learned of the situation and forwarded it to Li Tianyang, who had already received details of the dispute between the Yehe border in Liaodong and the Korean Kingdom five days after the incident.
"Hehe, I didn't expect this North Korean Ren to be so bold, a few years ago, he obediently served as a courtier for the Qing Dynasty, and now he is beginning to covet the territory of Liaodong."
Li Tianyang read the information in his hand at a glance, and said with a bit of ridicule.
In terms of foreign guard intelligence, it is about the Joseon Dynasty sending troops to capture Yehebu and control the territory.
The incident took place near Yongfeng Mountain, which had been under the control of Yehebu, and with the Qing Dynasty completely defeated by the Hongtang army, the Korean Kingdom, which had been bullied by the Qing Dynasty, was finally able to stretch its brow and watch the dark cloud above its head dissipate.
Even after the fall of the Jurchens, the Joseon Dynasty began to move its crooked eyes, preparing to take the opportunity to start expanding the territory of their Joseon Dynasty and sending a large army to test the frontier line.
Ye Hebu Sakchi's reaction was also helpless, on the one hand, in the previous war with Aixin Jueluo's family, the North Koreans also gave Ye Hebu a lot of support, and the food and materials were secretly funded a lot, and now the other party wants to occupy some territory, and it is really a little difficult for him to deal with.
Of course, the bigger factor is that he has a more powerful neighbor Hongmen by his side, and Sakchi doesn't want his clan's strength to be damaged again, and he has no strength to deal with Hongmen, a powerful opponent.
Therefore, judging from the intelligence collected by the foreign guards, the Jurchen tribe of Sakchi has always maintained restraint in response to the invasion of Yongfeng Mountain by the Korean Kingdom army, and has gradually reduced its strength.
"The people of Ye Hebu don't have the spirit they had at all now, and they are not ready to resist at all, this is not good!"
Li Tianyang muttered to himself, then called the guards around him, and found Hong Chengchou and Wu Chao and others to discuss.
"In the opinion of my subordinates, this matter is just a dispute between the Jurchen tribe and the Korean Kingdom, and we Hongmen can't make much action for this now."
Hong Chengchou was old and serious, and said on a case-by-case basis.
"I also don't think there's any need to make too many moves here, just after defeating the Great Qing Ai Xinjue Luo, our first task should be to operate and develop the territory of Liaodong, and there shouldn't be too many moves."
"To put it bluntly, the reason why Ye Heshi has not dared to make too many moves is not because he is afraid of our neighbor Hongmen? If we intervene in this matter again, the Yehe tribe will be even more worried! ”
Wu Chao spoke from the perspective of a soldier, which also made some sense.
On the contrary, Gan Dabiao, who attended as the director of the Finance Bureau, stood on Li Tianyang's side at this time: "I don't think so!" ”
"We spent a lot of money, and it was not easy to defeat the Qing people in Liaodong, why does this Korean barbarian want to come and get a piece of the pie?"
"When we started a war with the Qing Dynasty, didn't they still garrison tens of thousands of troops, watching our movements with the Qing people, looking for opportunities to take advantage?"
"If it weren't for the fact that our Hongmen was stronger than the other party imagined, I am afraid that when we defeated the Qing Dynasty, their Koreans would have already sent troops to deal with us and reap the benefits of the fisherman!"
"Today's Liaodong, to put it bluntly, is our Hongmen's territory, we have sacrificed so many soldiers and paid so many prices, we don't just want a little territory now, right?"
"Not to mention that now the door master is forcibly suppressing everyone's objections, so that Qixintang and Nanyang Chamber of Commerce have invested heavily in Yehe Yitong's department, how can I think that Ye Ye doesn't think he is really thinking about Ye He Jurchen!"
If you want to understand Li Tianyang, you have to count the partners who have been with him for decades, Gan Dabiao has already noticed Li Tianyang's future plans from Li Tianyang's current arrangements, although he did not directly say the specific content, but this explanation in the general direction also made a group of people present feel surprised.
"Hahaha, you guys still know me!"
Li Tianyang was not surprised that his plan was discovered, anyway, everyone present at the moment was the most trustworthy person in their Hongmen, and whoever heard these remarks and associated it would not forget to reveal it.
"Indeed, there is a mineral research report in Liaodong, which records in detail the layout of various minerals discovered by the exploration team in Liaodong in the past few years."
"The content of this report alone is enough for us to make great efforts to develop Liaodong."
"Everyone knows what is the most important industry in the future world pattern, right? The muskets and artillery used by our soldiers, the ships, trains, and bicycles that our people have gradually begun to accept, do not require huge steel resources! ”
"The biggest obstacle that hinders the development of our Hongmen today is not anything else, but the scarcity of steel resources: 70% of the source of our steel comes from the Shilu Mine in Qiongzhou, the remaining 20% comes from the supply of my brother Li Tiansheng, and the remaining less than 10% is the source of our own acquisition and mining."
"If the two major sources suddenly cut off production and do not provide us with pig iron resources, then we will fall into the point of no rice cooking, and then I Hongmen will definitely not allow it!!"
Li Tianyang always has a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and when the others in Hongmen are still secretly proud of their achievements, Li Tianyang is thinking about how to develop and expand their Hongmen faster.
