On the north side of the Miaodao archipelago, several large fortune ships bypassed the eastern part of the island and entered the harbor of Nanchenghuang Island.

Chen Xin and Liu Minyou landed from the springboard, and everywhere they saw were warehouses and barracks.

Since Chen Xin entered Dengzhou, he colluded with Wang Tingqian and Lu Zhi to monopolize the Liaohai trade, and the place of centralized trading was on Nanchenghuang Island, which became a large-scale market in a few years, and also became a transit point for the Dengzhou fleet.

After the mobilization began from the town of Dengzhou, all trade to Liaodong was stopped, and Nanchenghuangdao became a military staging place, and most of the people who came and went were military ships.

Liu Min looked at the east side of the port, where ten unflagged ships were moored.

"It should be a boat from the Dongjiang River, and those people have arrived."

When Mao Wenlong occupied Phi Island, he went to a general of Dongjiang Town, and he could threaten the magistrate of North Korea, and in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Emperor Taiji raided Dongjiang and North Korea, so that North Korea signed a brotherly alliance, and the Houjin at that time was not able to maintain military deterrence in Korea, so he withdrew after signing the contract, and soon the battle of Mi Island broke out, Dengzhou Town completely annihilated the Jin army after landing on the island, and captured Niu Lu Ezhen alone, relying on this big victory, Dengzhou Town began to affect the situation of Dongjiang and North Korea.

Although there were no troops stationed near the Yalu River, merchant ships from Dengju were constantly coming and going, buying Korean ginseng, mink, and tobacco, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent people to Seoul and Xuanchon every year, establishing a channel of communication with the North Korea.

The Ming Dynasty had the grace to reinvent Korea, and the emperor and ministers were closer to the people. Chen Xin nodded, and took the lead leisurely, there are very few households on the island, and the local business is basically a comprehensive store in Dengzhou, similar to the state of military management.

Yang Yunnong, who accompanied him, twisted his fat figure, and followed behind the two without lagging behind, and he chased after Chen Xin, "My lord." The subordinates had already asked the foreign affairs director stationed on the island, and the people from Dongjiang came, Shen Shikui himself came, and the person sent by Huanglong was Shang Keyi. ”

"Shang Keyi." Chen Xin said coldly, "Shang Keyi is appreciative, but he is not a Huanglong yet. ”

Huang Long is still the titular commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and his territory is on Zhangzi Island at the mouth of the Yalu River. The sea and land communication with the imperial court was completely cut off, and the surrounding Phidao, Shicheng, and Zhenjiang were all under the control of other forces on the Dongjiang River.

Among the forces within the Dongjiang River, Mao Chenglu and Shang Kexi completely fell to Dengzhou Town. With the assistance of Dengzhou, the strength has long surpassed other Dongjiang forces, Shen Shikui occupied Phi Dao, Tieshan, Yizhou, and occupied the area of Tuntian, Huanglong had to develop along the west bank of the Yalu River, and Shen Shikui's forces were intertwined with each other in Kuandian and other six forts, and the two sides still had conflicts from time to time. Huanglong's population and soldiers and horses were not replenished, and there were only about 1,000 soldiers in his hands, and he was often at a disadvantage.

North Korea in the east still pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year, and their tribute road is to go ashore from Liaohai to Ningyuan, crossing the entire Denglai sphere of influence, and the Korean national strength in this era is weak. After the Battle of Lushun, the Jiannu line shrank across the board. North Korea immediately threw that brotherly alliance aside. However, Shen Shikui was still the practice of Mao Wenlong's period, and threatened local North Korean officials at every turn, and Dengzhou Town was backed by military strength, and the trade of trading companies was quite fair, North Korea not only exported ginseng, mink, tobacco, but also imported southern goods, cigarettes, cotton cloth, shochu and other products from Dengzhou, and every year when Dengzhou foreign affairs officials went to North Korea. It will also offer ceremonial money according to the practice of officialdom, so between Dongjiang Town and Dengzhou Town, North Korea is obviously biased towards Dengzhou Town, and a group of pro-Dengzhou officials have appeared in the Li Dynasty.

However, North Korea is lagging behind in information. It is not very clear about the changes in the relationship between Dengzhou Town and the imperial court, at least after the end of this year's tribute, they will not know the details, and how to choose at that time, there will be another tangled battle in the court of the Li Dynasty.

Although Huang Long has always been at odds with Chen Xin, but now the soldiers' salaries, grain routes, smuggling and other channels are all subject to Dengzhou Town, and the surrounding areas are all Dengzhou forces, he has taken the initiative to ease up since the end of last year, and the matchmaker is Shang Kexi's brother Shang Keyi.

This Shang Keyi is also regarded as Huanglong's henchman, Liu Xingzhi suppressed the rebellion in Phi Dao, and later Huang Long was arrested by Geng Zhongyu and others, and he was gouged out and cut off his ears and lost face, unable to continue to gain a foothold on Phi Dao, Shang Keyi also continued to follow him. After Shang Kexi took refuge in Dengzhou Town, Shang Keyi also sent his family to the safety of Dengzhou, which could not only ensure the safety of his family, but also give Chen Xin a letter of resignation, so he had a very good relationship with both sides.

Although Dengzhou controlled the maritime grain route, it did not deliberately deduct Huanglong's grain and grass, but Huanglong has always suppressed a lot in trafficking smuggling and other goods, so that the conditions of Zhangzi Island controlled by Huanglong are worse than those of other islands in the Dongjiang River, and there are many people who have fled, and Huanglong gradually can't hold on, and since the end of last year, he has begun to take the initiative to ease relations with Dengzhou Town, and Shang Keyi has played the role of a middleman.

Yang Yunnong said in a low voice: "My lord, Huang Long brought a letter, saying that it was inconvenient to travel far from the old injury, and sent Shang Keyi to meet the lord, but he must obey the military order issued by the lord. ”

Chen Xin stopped and looked at Yang Yunnong, Wu Jianzhong, who served as the liaison officer of the Intelligence Bureau with the army, followed behind Chen Xin, and listened attentively after hearing it, to see if Chen Xin would deal with Huang Long, after years of infiltration, Huang Long's subordinates have been bribed and installed many people.

Yang Yunnong lowered his head and waited for Chen Xin's order, he estimated that Huang Long might not be able to fall well this time. For this autumn offensive, Chen Xin summoned the generals of the Dongjiang islands to meet at Nanchenghuang Island, on the one hand, to deploy operations, and secondly, to let them stand in line, because this offensive was different from the past, and there was no order from the governor of Denglai. In the past, when the Dongjiang River needed to cooperate in various offensives, Chen Xin would ask the royal court to try to issue a formal order, but this time he deliberately did not do so, that is, Dengzhou Town mobilized troops and horses without authorization. Although Huang Long did not come in person, he was obviously still a little wary, and sent Shang Keyi, a henchman, to express his position of obeying the dispatch, but in such an important battle, it was necessary to eliminate possible risks as much as possible.

Chen Xin suddenly smiled, and continued to leave without saying anything, Yang Yunnong and Wu Jianzhong glanced at each other, and the two knew that the matter would not stop there.

Chen Xin and Liu Min walked in front, and Liu Minyou asked in a low voice: "This Huanglong is also enough to hold on, is it that after so many years, he still remembers the things about Sun Yuanhua back then?" ”

"Will he remember Sun Yuanhua's grace? Huang Long was born in Liaozhen, when Sun Yuanhua was preparing for Ningyuan, he followed the practice of Hongyi artillery, and the Hongyi artillery team of the Guanning Army in the Battle of the Four Cities was led by him, if he could really remember his kindness so much, how could he run out of Liaozhen. followed Sun Yuanhua to Dongjiang Town. He knew that the emperor asked him to be a nail in the Dongjiang River, and after he was cut off by Geng Zhongyu last time, he simply didn't deal with anyone. After Chen Xin finished speaking, he recalled that this Huanglong was actually fighting in a decent manner, but he was too greedy, and the level of leading troops was really low, but he was not confused in the big festival. In history, he died in the battle of Lushun in the sixth year of Chongzhen, which was much stronger than the king of Sanshun.

"What about you...... What are you going to do with him? He's attacking Hetuala, and he doesn't seem to be in the way of the big picture......"

Chen Xin interrupted: "Every direction is important, Huang Long's words are good at the moment, but it is always a hidden danger. ”

Liu Minyou was silent for a moment, he knew that this was a key battle. Chen Xin's consideration is reasonable, but there may also be accidents when dealing with Huanglong before the war, and he has also heard Chen Xin say that this Huanglong is an anti-gold hero in history.

Chen Xin looked at Liu Minyou and said with a smile: "You don't have to kill him to deal with him, let me think about this matter again." ”

Liu Minyou persuaded: "He did a good job in fighting Hetuara last time, and before the big war, he still had to put stability first." ”

Chen Xin nodded. Under the leadership of the foreign affairs officer stationed on the island, the two climbed the hill in the north of the island along the mountain road, there are several courtyards, which are used by officials and business managers who pass by on weekdays, Shang Kexi, Mao Chenglu and others are already waiting at the gate, and Chen Xin immediately recognized Shen Shikui, who had met once.

This cheap old man of Mao Wenlong saw Chen Xin during the battle of Shenmi Island, and he did not look old after many years, but he improved very well. Liu Minyou remembered the report of the Intelligence Bureau, which said that Shen Shikui was building a lot of construction on Phi Island and living in extreme luxury, and he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Shen Shikui is also a bit similar to Huanglong in history, and his background is the same as Wu Xiang, he used to be a businessman, and he has a problem. Corruption is not inferior to other officials, and he also likes to engage in some internal struggles, but in the end, he also stood on the big festival, and refused to surrender after Phi Dao was breached. In the face of Azig, he did not visit or worship, and was finally killed by Jiannu.

"Xiaguan has seen adults!"

Several people knelt down to see Chen Xin, Chen Xin's eyes swept over a few people, in order was Shang Kexi, Mao Chenglu, Shang Keyi, Shen Shikui, Shen Zhixiang, now it is Chongzhen eight years, the original history, Shang Kexi has surrendered Houjin, Mao Chenglu died in Dengzhou, Shang Keyi followed Huanglong to die in Lushun, Shen Shikui will die in Chongzhen ten years in Phi Dao, Shen Zhixiang surrendered to Jiannu, Dongjiang Town completely disappeared.

Now several people are still here, and another Sanshun king, Geng Zhongming, is stationed at the border of Qingzhou Mansion, Chen Xin has some emotion in his heart, his arrival has changed the fate of these people, changed the fate of countless people in Denglai and Dongjiang, and also changed the situation in Liaodong, and he is about to change this era.

"Everyone, please." Chen Xinyi helped a few people up one by one, and did not enter the house, just stood at the door and said to a few people, "This battle is for my Dengzhou Town, and it is also for the generals, this official never summons people in vain, this time is the same, the specific terms will be discussed by Director Yang Yunnong with you in detail, how to fight, and Director Liu Pojun will distribute the brochure to you." The official is here to talk to you about the heart, you are the same as the official, are Liaodong people, people say that the homeland is difficult to leave, but we were forced to leave the homeland for more than ten years, the official dreamed back in the middle of the night, can always imagine the appearance of the homeland, but when you open your eyes, you know that the homeland has long become a barren grave, and the relatives are all wild ghosts. ”

Before Chen Xin finished speaking, Shang Kexi and Mao Chenglu's eyes were already red, and the rest of the people were also solemn, even Shen Shikui, a corrupt official, the Liao people suffered so much that they could no longer express it in words.

Chen Xin raised his voice and continued: "Today we are going to recover Liaodong and recover our land, this is a battle of revenge for millions of Liao people, and it is also the expectation of the people of the world for more than ten years. This battle is attracting the attention of the world, and I hope that you will sincerely unite and recover Liaodong together with this official. ”

Shang Kexi took the lead in kneeling down again, and several people said in unison: "Obey the orders of the adults!" Recover Liaodong! ……”

Liu Minyou stood behind Chen Xin, only he knew that Chen Xin was not a Liao at all, but at the beginning of this era, they were considered to be the fugitives from Liaodong, and there were countless escaped Liao people in Dengzhou Town, and the bitter hatred and homesickness were all empathetic, and many times Liu Minyou also regarded himself as a Liao person, which made him firmly believe that in the war with Houjin, he would always be the righteous party.

"Recover Liaodong." Liu Minyou also whispered, he turned his head to look at the sea, among the thousands of waves between the north and south Chenghuang Island, the sail shadow covered the sea, the mast was like a forest, and countless ships broke through the sea and rode the wind in the direction of Liaodong.
