(Thank you for the game menu 5 for voting for the valuable monthly vote, thank GGGMMMM for voting for the valuable evaluation vote, thank you for not choosing the right and the middle route, thank you, thank you, it's the Lantern Festival soon, I wish readers a happy Lantern Festival.) ）

Needless to say, there were only seven people attending this meeting, which was the smallest meeting, but it was the most important meeting, and everyone knew that the matters discussed today belonged to the category of top secret, and they could never be leaked, and if the overall deployment of this operation was leaked, the Jiangning Battalion, the Liaodong Border Army, and the Datong Border Army would suffer heavy losses, and even suffer a devastating blow.

According to the previous rules, the overall operational deployment must be played in the imperial court, and after the emperor personally decides, the following will be implemented, but Su Tiancheng did not do this, he knows very well that in the imperial court, it is impossible to keep it completely secret, if the operational deployment is leaked, such a long time of preparation will be in vain, and the terrible thing is that Su Tiancheng does not know whether the operational deployment of the Dao is leaked, only when the real battle is in the air, can he know the Dao, by that time, the losses have been formed, everything is too late, Therefore, this time, Su Tiancheng will not play the imperial court, and even discuss the operational deployment of Haolu, nor will he play.

Su Tiancheng is taking a big risk in doing this, and there must be people in the court to blame, including the cabinet, who may have opinions, but Su Tiancheng has already decided to take this risk, after all, this involves the safety of more than 200,000 troops and the success or failure of the entire campaign.

The intelligence work before the decisive battle is very important, and at this time, all parties want to be able to get the relevant information and make corresponding preparations, and the mutual market between Anning Fort and Jingbian is very important. Since the beginning of the year, it has been particularly lively, more than ever, especially after the Jiangning camp conquered the grassland tribes, it was extremely popular, and the merchants of the transaction were endless. Su Tiancheng had known about this situation for a long time.

Jiang Ningying all withdrew from the mutual market and handed over to the imperial court for direct management, such a hot transaction, the household department was happy to close his mouth, which indicated that a steady stream of silver taels had entered the treasury, but Su Tiancheng didn't see it that way, he was sure that behind the hot transaction. With the tentacles of intelligence, Huang Taiji is a smart person, and he will definitely try his best to get information from the mutual market.

What made Su Tiancheng vigilant was that he got the news from the channel of the mutual market, and the emperor issued a holy decree for the conquest of Houjin, and the content of this holy decree was leaked out of the city through the mutual market. I can't find the root cause, this time the leakage of the holy decree. As a result, Houjin further strengthened the defense of Quang Ninh, Haizhou and Shenyang, and purchased a large amount of grain in the mutual market, making sufficient preparations before the war.

In addition, the busyness of Weihaiwei Wharf, compared with the past, is also different, and it is very popular. There are all kinds of people who come to Weihaiwei Wharf to trade, and there are even black slaves, that is, black people, these black people. was used as a slave, sold at a marked price, when the black slave landed on Weihaiwei Wharf, it once caused surprise, everyone had not seen the black slave, they all thought it was a monster, fortunately, Su Tiancheng knew this, and also knew the advantages of the black man, and even recruited some strong black slaves, entered the Jiangning camp, Su Tiancheng's such a move, so that everyone is no longer curious about the black slaves, because Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou are safe, the people are very kind, these black slaves came here, and they did not suffer any bullying.

Su Tiancheng was highly concerned about the Japanese, because of the rebellion of the Japanese people, the imperial court had a very bad impression of the Japanese, and called the Japanese the Japanese the Japanese as the Japanese people, because Japan is located in a barren place, mainly relying on a large number of transactions to maintain the luxury life of the upper class, so many Japanese merchant ships also entered the Weihaiwei wharf to trade. Ordinary transactions, Su Tiancheng will not interfere, no matter who it is, even if it is the Houjin Tartar who comes to trade, it is not a big deal, business is business, and money still has to be earned.

However, after May, the number of Japanese merchant ships that came to Weihaiwei Wharf suddenly increased, and it increased exponentially, such a situation is not very normal, judging from the information sent by Huang Zaisheng, there were also Japanese in Shenyang, could it be said that there was anything involved in this, could it be that Houjin was ready to win over the Japanese and deal with the Ming army.

Su Tiancheng has not yet completely grasped this situation, if such a situation really occurs, Su Tiancheng will not be polite, not only to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, but also to attack Japan on a large scale, so that the Japanese will completely surrender.

The channels for intelligence leakage are multifaceted, in this regard, the Ming Dynasty has no advantage, the Houjin territory is not large, mainly Manchurian, because it is barren, and it is impossible for many people to trade with them, which leads to not many businessmen entering Shenyang, let alone others, but the Ming Dynasty is different, for example, Dengzhou, Weihaiwei was established as a dock for the opening of the sea, a large number of people poured in, all kinds of people, blue-eyed foreigners, there are short Japanese, there are Nanyang, Luzon, and even Houjin businessmen, In order to do business, these people not only went to Qingzhou, but also went to the south to purchase more goods, so the situation did not only appear in Dengzhou, but also in Anningbao and Jingbian, but there were more Mongolian tribesmen and Houjin merchants, these people were all over Shaanxi, Ningxia, Shanxi and other places, and some even bought houses and land locally, and settled down in the local area, Su Tiancheng also supported this immigration policy.

Now that the conquest is about to begin, the problem arises, Dengzhou, Anningbao, Jingbian, and even Nanjing's city Bosi have all become the intelligence sources of the Later Jin, and the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin can master all aspects of intelligence through many means, but Su Tiancheng can only rely on Huang Zaisheng in Shenyang, and the Later Jin has an advantage in obtaining information.

Regarding this matter, Qu Qingze once put forward a suggestion, thinking that it is necessary to restrict or check these places to see if there is a problem with those outsiders who have settled in Dengzhou and other places, Su Tiancheng did not hesitate to veto this proposal, and he can't waste food because of choking, which will cause a very bad impact and directly affect the development of commerce and trade.

Su Tiancheng believes that intelligence work is of course important, but what is more important is one's own strength, and he has always believed that winning the entire campaign depends on strength and fighting spirit.

Of course, Su Tiancheng also has something that can be used, that is, Tang Haitai in Liaodong.

When investigating Tang Haitai and Kang Tai, Lu Xiangsheng took a lot of effort, because with the support of Qu Qingze, the investigation work, and finally made significant progress, after nearly half a year of investigation, Lu Xiangsheng finally knew that Kang Tai was the spy of Houjin, and he was able to contact Fan Wencheng directly, what kind of person is Fan Wencheng, the biggest traitor, the role of Houjin, even more than Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi and others.

When this information was fed back to Su Tiancheng here, Su Tiancheng gave an order, don't move Tang Haitai and Kang Tai for the time being, keep this line, and at a critical time, it can play a major role, although Fan Wencheng obtained a false intelligence from Tang Haitai, which led to the failure of the grassland expedition, but Fan Wencheng will not give up, and at such a critical moment, he will definitely think about it and continue to obtain valuable information from Tang Haitai.

In the wing, there are still Qu Qingze and Lu Xiangsheng left.

Regarding the situation of Tang Haitai and Kang Tai, there are very few people who know the Tao, and this matter must be kept absolutely confidential.

"My lord, Xia Guan thinks that Kang Tai and Tang Haitai must be arrested, after Xia Guan returns to Liaodong, he must have to make a lot of deployments, the army is about to start the expedition, and many transfers will also be carried out, and the governor Yamen needs to give orders, this news cannot be kept secret in the governor Yamen, and it can't be hidden from Tang Haitai, as for the involvement of Tang Shiji, Xia Guan thinks that this is also helpless, after all, this battle is too important to leak the slightest news."

Su Tiancheng looked at Qu Qingze and did not speak immediately.

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng and then spoke.

"My lord, the lower officials also think that it is time to do it, if the relevant information leaks out, Fan Wencheng analyzes the action deployment of our army through this information, which is very unfavorable to the conquest of our army."

Qu Qingze did not expand and say, in fact, the focus of intelligence work is to analyze the truth according to many small things, and then you can analyze all the actions of the other party, after Lu Xiangsheng returns to Liaodong, there will definitely be a big action, fragmentary orders, all leaked out, Fan Wencheng can indeed analyze the actions of the Ming army through these intelligence.

Su Tiancheng looked at the two of them and spoke slowly.

"Can you guarantee that the battle of the Golden Tartars after our attack will be completely confidential?"

Lu Xiangsheng and Qu Qingze both shook their heads, thinking that it was not possible to keep such a major matter secret, and the emperor had decreed that it would be a matter of time before the Golden Tartars were conquered.

"Since we can't keep it completely secret, we don't need to be so nervous, the news of the Golden Tartars after the conquest of the army, even if it doesn't pass through Tang Haitai, it will leak out from other channels, this is not a big deal, as long as our combat deployment is not leaked, there is not much of a problem, Huang Taiji is very shrewd, and he has already made all the preparations, so we can't move Tang Haitai and Kangtai, on the contrary, we have to pass some false information through their hands. Let Huang Taiji and Fan Wencheng be fooled again, at least let them have doubts. ”

Qu Qingze and Lu Xiangsheng looked at Su Tiancheng, a little incomprehensible, judging from the current situation, there is not much false information worth leaking.

A smile appeared on Su Tiancheng's face.

"According to my prediction, what Huang Taiji is most concerned about now is where we will attack from, that is, where is our main direction of attack, in this regard, we can make a big fuss, of course, this requires the cooperation of Tang Haitai and Kang Tai, as long as we can confuse Huang Taiji on this issue, our first battle will be half successful, this matter, Lord Qu and Lord Lu, must do a good job, let Huang Taiji be fooled."
