Houjin prepared for a month, taking advantage of the late spring and early summer, to launch an attack on Liaodong.

In other words, they actually planned to bypass several key strongholds in Liaodong and directly enter Beizhili. As long as Chongzhen is in their hands, these generals and ministers loyal to Chongzhen in Liaodong will also have to surrender.

Liaodong's every move naturally can't be hidden from the soldiers in Liaodong, let alone the Jinyi guards who are stationed here.

Jin Yiwei is now under the control of Li Luo, and has played the efficient operation of national defense espionage. Even Liaodong, which is remote and desolate, is always under the surveillance of Jinyiwei. Hou Jin's every move, as long as he reaches the monitoring range, don't expect to be able to hide it from the spies.

So, in only three days, the news of Houjin's dispatch came to Chongzhen's imperial case.

"Aiqing, do you have any thoughts about this military report?" Chongzhen was really depressed at the moment.

The military and politics have just improved, and they just wanted to go to Shandong to find some trouble with those rebellious ministers and thieves, but they received this thing.

Originally, according to his meaning, Shandong was subdued, and then there was an outlet to the sea, and the sea trade could be used in exchange for more profits. He had already looked at the income records of this year's local family sea trade provided by Li Luo, and found that the income of sea trade alone was worth three times the tax before the Ming Dynasty.

With such a huge amount of money, there is no need to pay taxes to the Ming court for a penny, how ridiculous!

It's really a shame for those courtiers, who are embarrassed to say that the ancestors have rules and want to constantly ban the sea and the sea by themselves, and look at what good things they have done behind this?!

Seeing that Haimao had such a high profit, Chongzhen naturally did not intend to give up. Around Beizhili, naturally only Shandong is the best outlet to the sea, and then there is also close to Beizhili.

It's just that the army is still in the preparation stage, so I waited for this news, how can Chongzhen not be depressed?

You must know that the invasion of the Later Jin Dynasty was not a small local battle, but a major battle similar to the national war. But at present, there are only a few places where Chongzhen can control zhì, and those who are far away can't even send people to Qinwang. Relying only on a few troops to fight with each other, whether it can be done or not, Chongzhen really has no bottom.

After all, according to the previous war reports, every time a Houjin Tartar was killed, the lives of more than thirty soldiers would be paid. If it wasn't so hard to kill, why would it be necessary to offer such a generous reward? Because of this, Sun Chengzong had a big victory in Liaodong before, and he had to pay a lot of rewards for it.

Now that there are so few people under his command, can he really fight against the Houjin Tartar?

Besides, the war is a permanence, and Beizhili originally did not produce much, and its wealth was mainly maintained by the silver coins confiscated by local families. Otherwise, how could Chongzhen be so eager to conquer Shandong? Now, if you want to start a war with Houjin, not to mention whether the weapons and equipment can be built with enough money, even if you have the money and the materials, it will be a waste of toss. No matter how good the firearm is, it will be wasted without ammunition.

"Your Majesty, if you need ammunition, you only need 100,000 taels of silver, and the minister can immediately help buy the weight to support us in winning this battle. But when we go north to attack the Houjin Tartars, how to ensure that those small people in the south do not go north is a problem, and what we have to deal with when they go north is another problem. If we don't solve the latter problem, even if we send troops to win the Houjin, we will eventually be besieged to death by Xiaoxiao in the south. Li Luo reported according to the truth.

"Then Aiqing, do you have a clever plan?" Chongzhen has really relied on Li Luo a little too much lately.

"If His Majesty can take a step back and admit that Houjin is a country, then it will be fine!" Li Luo thought for a moment and replied.

At that time, the Later Jin was still a large tribe in the eyes of the Han people, and it was not yet a legitimate country. The reason is very simple, there is no administrative framework, there is no civilian rule, and the whole regime adopts a kind of militarized management, so it is still decent to say that a country is still a large tribe, or a large military aircraft.

"What qualifications can be called a country as a mere Tartar?" Chongzhen is naturally unhappy to recognize it as a country.

"If it is called a country, then confrontation with it is a national war, not a conquest or a subordinate. In addition, the Later Jin invaded our vassal state of Goryeo many times, and we also had enough slogans to launch a national war. By the way, the puppet Qin Zhang Hongbin often talked about national wars, and he often said that the Song Dynasty failed against Liao, Jin and Mongolia because the people did not understand the difference between national wars and civil wars.

Civil wars, the hegemony between the people of China. No matter who the final result is, it is still our Chinese people who rule China; But national wars are different, and the battles between countries are the difference between destroying countries and destroying species. Therefore, Mengyuan cannot be called a change of dynasty, but the death of China, and my Ming Dynasty is the hero of the restoration of the country! Now, Houjin has invaded China as a foreign force, no matter what the result is, its purpose is to destroy our China, so that my Chinese people will be destroyed and the country will be wiped out.

Therefore, for such a battle, it is national, and no one can escape. Otherwise, he will be punished as a traitor. In the pseudo-Qin, the traitor is a felony who wants to wipe out the nine clans! Li Luo expressed his opinion.

Yes, with the slogan of the national war, call on the world to unite with the outside world. Even if it's not external, it can't be internal. Dare to take advantage of Chongzhen's confrontation with Houjin and attack Chongzhen in private, what is that? Naturally, it is not a rhetoric that the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, but acting as a traitor for Houjin!

Is a traitor qualified to be the lord of China? Naturally not, with this excuse, anyone can crusade against him, and even if he sits on the country temporarily, it will not last long, and he will inevitably be extinct in the attack of other forces.

Therefore, as long as the national war is the call, then Chongzhen will go north to fight against Houjin, and no one in the rear will dare to act rashly.

"I really didn't expect Aiqing to be able to get along so well!" Chongzhen had to admire.

"Weichen is also learning other people's tricks, which is not subtle." Li Luo was modest.

"Applying what you have learned is the real talent!" Chongzhen exclaimed.

Not long after, an edict called "The War Edict of the Chinese Kingdom" was posted by Jinyiwei in major cities across the country. The compiler of the edict is naturally Emperor Chongzhen, and the content of the edict is to unanimously resist the Houjin, and now it is the moment of the national war of the Chinese nation!

When the edict was posted, it was first torn up by local forces, and who knew that it would not be long before a large number of copies appeared.

In the end, even if they wanted to, it was too late, and the people of the whole country saw it and knew the content of this edict.

Maybe they don't know what a national war is, and similarly, they don't know what it means to destroy a country and destroy a species. How was the Ming Dynasty established, maybe many people have forgotten it, but the storytellers will not forget it, they worked overtime to sort out the plot of Ming Taizu's destruction of the Yuan, and said it again and again in the restaurant teahouse, and everyone in the world knew about it.

Yes, with a rhetoric, they have also counted a lot of money in the past few months. Many people learned how the Ming Dynasty was established and how the Mongol Tatars, who oppressed the people, were driven out of the land of China.

So someone put forward the "War Edict of the Chinese Kingdom", which said that Chongzhen was a tyrant, but in the case of resisting foreign invasions, he was also heroic.

Public opinion began to guide Chongzhen's side, and finally there began to be a voice from the people.

It's okay to crusade against Chongzhen, but you have to wait for the national war to be over. Everyone knows that you are the ones who dare not go north to fight with Houjin, but don't stop others from becoming heroes!

The people worship heroes, so naturally they can't allow villains to do things behind their backs.

When ** is mobilized, those who dare to oppress ** will inevitably be destroyed by **.

The king of Xiangyang in Hunan suppressed the protesters, and as a result, Li Zicheng took the opportunity to incite the people to revolt, not only taking Hunan for himself, but also roasting the king of Xiangyang for food. The original rogues in several other places were not stupid, and they also rebelled one after another without saying a word, and as a result, they were on one side and rose again.

They may also want to go north to attack Chongzhen, but they are coerced to start, so they don't dare to make a mistake for the national war.

They must compromise, and the bottom line of compromise is that they will not go north to Beizhili until Chongzhen returns with a big victory or defeat. In fact, in the final analysis, they also have to encroach on the surrounding forces and expand their territory. Going directly north to the north or something, it was not in their plan at this stage.

Seeing that the surroundings are not able to go north for various reasons. Chongzhen still smiled with relief, at least his purpose had been achieved.
