Half a month later, the letter sent by the princess from the capital was sent to Fengyang again.

The content of the letter is that the imperial court of Beijing promised Fang Yuan to send troops from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong to attack the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, Wu Sangui, the commander of the Guanning Army stationed at Shanhaiguan, rejected the suggestion of borrowing the road and strictly forbade the Xuanjia Army from passing through Shanhaiguan.

Fang Yuan laughed when he saw the letter, and immediately found Jing Jie and handed him the letter to read.

Jing Jie was overjoyed and said, "Boss, we were about to go down to the room, so Wu Sangui sent a ladder, great!" We can then declare that Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan colluded with the Manchu Qing Dolgon to try to lure the Manchu Qing into the customs, and we are rebelling for the imperial court and conquering Wu Sangui. ”

Fang Yuan and he thought of one place, the cancer of the Guanning warlord group would have to be cleaned up sooner or later, and the crusade against the capital court was in the name of rebellion. The crusade against Wu Sangui, who colluded with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was justified.

But now, if the banner of crusading against Wu Sangui is raised, in case Wu Sangui really has a heart and surrenders to the Manchu Qing with the Guanning army, how should the aftermath be dealt with? If the Manchu hals take the opportunity to enter the customs and invade Gyeonggi, what should they do?

For the sake of today's plan, it is better to be quiet than to move.

Fang Yuan threw the letter sent by the princess in the furnace, burned it to ashes, and said lightly, "When our army officially goes north to Gyeonggi, we will play the banner of conquering Wu Sangui." Before, don't reveal the slightest rumor! ”

After burning the princess's letter, Fang Yuan asked again, "Third brother, how is the Dongjiang Military Town built?" ”

Jing Jie knew the stakes of rebuilding the Dongjiang Military Town, as long as the Dongjiang Military Town, which invaded the hinterland of the Manchu Dynasty, was completed, and he would not dare to enter the customs rashly by borrowing ten courage from the Manchu Dynasty. At that time, if Wu Sangui's Guanning army surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it would be possible to fight a war, and it would have nothing to do with the overall situation.

Jing Jie said, "Boss, Zhang Ying, who went to Dongjiang Town to investigate, reported that the Phi Island in Dongjiang Town had already been destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty again, and the defensive forts on the island had all been demolished, leaving two or three hundred Manchu Tartars to guard the Phi Island. As soon as our troops landed, they were all slaughtered, and not a single one was left. ”

Fang Yuan sighed lightly, it seemed that Dolgon had learned the lessons of Mao Wenlong and Fang Yuan's battle in Liaodong before, and arranged for hundreds of Tartar soldiers to be on duty on the island. Of course, these two hundred Tartars were not for the defense of Phi Dao, but for reconnaissance sentinels. Now that all the Tartar soldiers have been slaughtered, it is estimated that Dorgon has received the military information of the Xuanjia Army landing on Phi Island at this moment.

It is now approaching late autumn, and in three months, the Bohai Sea should be frozen again. The sea is frozen, and the fleet of the Xuanjia Army, which has absolute superiority, must be withdrawn, and the Tartar soldiers can also follow the method of capturing Juehua Island and attack Phi Dao along the frozen sea, which is extremely unfavorable to the defense of Phi Dao.

Fang Yuan muttered, "Third brother, our army must build a large military fort on Phi Island for cold protection and defense before the winter comes, before the sea freezes. ”

Jing Jie also knew the joints, but his face was embarrassed, "Boss, there are still three months before the Bohai Sea freezes. If a large number of resources are transported from Shandong to Phi Island, it will take time for Shandong to prepare, and the second is a long way, I am afraid it will be too late! Otherwise, our army will withdraw first, and then go to the island to garrison in the spring of next year, anyway, the advantage of the naval division is on our side. Whether to land on the island or not, and when to land on the island, is up to us. ”

Fang Yuan shook his head solemnly and said, "Third brother, no!" Our army has approached Gyeonggi, and now it is fighting grass and snakes on Phi Dao, how can Dolgon sit back and watch our army rebuild Donggang Town on Phi Dao? If I were Dolgon, since our army would not land on the island this year, I would be able to divide my troops into two routes, capture the capital all the way, and snipe our army with Gyeonggi as the battlefield and Shanhaiguan as the backing. All the way to control the Korean state, make the Korean state submit to the obscenity of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and send a sailor to snipe our army on the island. ”

The two stood in front of the map of the Liaodong Prefecture, and Fang Yuan pointed to the map and said, "In the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town on Phi Island, the attitude of the Korean State is the top priority!" If the Korean state yielded to the Manchu Qing and continued to attack Phi Dao from the land, our army would have to transport supplies by sea for thousands of miles to support, and the long-term stalemate would be extremely unfavorable to our military! ”

Jing Jie nodded and said, "Yes, Mao Wenlong operated on Phi Island back then, and he also relied on the secret help of the Korean state. If the Korean state was on the side of the Manchus, neither Mao Wenlong nor our army would be able to stay on Phi Dao. ”

Fang Yuan patted the map of Liaodong and said loudly, "That's right, I have a way, I don't need to transport a large number of materials thousands of miles away to rebuild Phi Dao, I only need to send an envoy to North Korea, and ask North Korea to support our army to rebuild Phi Dao, and the materials will be transported directly from North Korea to Phi Dao, and a large number of people can also be recruited from North Korea to go to Phi Dao, wouldn't it save a lot of time and effort." In a month or two at most, a large military fort can be built for defense. ”

Fang Yuan's method can be said to be a stroke of genius, and Jing Jie also applauded loudly, "Okay, the boss is really a clever plan, it's just that who is the right person to send to Korea as an envoy?!" ”

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically, "Does the DPRK have any dealings with the military?" ”

Jing Jie thought for a while and said, "There is no exchange, because of the geographical separation, the interaction between the Korean state and us is limited to buying a large amount of raw silk, silk, and porcelain from Jiangnan every year. The cold climate in North Korea makes it unsuitable for mulberry planting, and all clothes are imported from Jiangnan. One of the applications of the Joseon royal family is also completely modeled after the wealthy merchants in the capital or Jiangnan. ”

Fang Yuan nodded, in this way, the export of materials from Jiangnan curbs the food and clothing of the Korean State, and sending people from the military as envoys has no deterrent effect on the Korean State. If an official in charge of the economy in Jiangnan was sent to serve as an envoy, the Korean state would not be able to shirk it.

As soon as the identity of the envoy is demarcated, the candidate is also about to be announced, except for Xi Benzhen, the governor of the Yangtze River Delta Special Economic Zone, who else can there be?

Fang Yuan immediately ordered the Jinyi guard to invite Xi Benzhen from the starry night in the south of the Yangtze River to Fengyang.

Xi Benzhen was summoned by Fang Yuan's 100,000 hurriedly, still confused, and asked in amazement, "Regent, this, this is?" ”

The situation was urgent, and Fang Yuan didn't have time to be polite anymore, so he laughed and stepped forward and pulled Xi Benzhen to the map of Liaodong, "Governor Xi, I have an important commission, this matter is related to the battle situation in Gyeonggi and Liaodong, don't shirk it!" ”

When Xi Benzhen heard that the situation was so serious, he said solemnly, "The regent said that it doesn't matter, if you want to raise armaments and materials, I can also think of ideas." ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "No, the armaments and materials can come slowly, but Governor Xi must go to the Korean Kingdom to be an envoy to the palace." ”

When Xi Benzhen heard this, he was really surprised that he wanted him to travel thousands of miles to Korea as an envoy, and asked, "This, regent, you tell me carefully!" ”

Xi Benzhen was one of Fang Yuan's most trusted officials, and he had nothing to hide from him, so he told him that the reconstruction of Donggang Town needed the full assistance of the Korean state.

Xi Benzhen suddenly realized that Fang Yuan wanted him to go to the Korean State to exert pressure, so that the Korean State would stand on the side of the Jiangnan Regime between the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Jiangnan regime.

This kind of choice related to the national fortunes of the DPRK, Xi Benzhen is actually not too sure that he can persuade the DPRK to choose a side, and he is embarrassed, "The regent said it!" If the DPRK is willing to support us, what conditions can it offer? If the DPRK does not support us, what punishment will there be! ”

Xi Benzhen's words are indeed to the point, in business, the Jiangnan regime and the Korean state are a kind of commercial relations, and it is wishful thinking to use the diplomatic relations between the two countries to force the Korean state to submit.

In order to force North Korea to take sides, it is necessary to explain to North Korea the business power of the relationship, and then the North Korean state will weigh the pros and cons. Therefore, what preferential conditions Xi Benzhen can bring and what punishment conditions are the most important things.

Fang Yuan whispered a few words to Xi Benzhen, and explained the conditions for going to the Korean country to negotiate. Xi Benzhen thought about it for a while, and the hope of success was indeed not small, so he nodded and agreed.

Fang Yuan grabbed Xi Benzhen's arm tightly and said solemnly, "Governor Xi, the situation in Liaodong is really up to you!" ”

Xi Benzhen shook his hand and said, "Regent, you and I have been friends for all these years, and I have witnessed the regent go from governor to governor to regent, step by step to sweep away the external troubles in Jiangnan. Without the regent, there would be no prosperity and prosperity in Jiangnan today. You and I don't need to say much polite words, I will do my best! ”
