Chapter 82: Checks and Balances

In addition, Zhou Xian strictly inspected Wucheng and Jiaozhou Bay, and closed Tianjin Wei.

It is because Wucheng, Jiaozhou Bay and Tianjin Wei have all found ironclad evidence to transport resources to the territory of Jiannu.

Now the three places have been consolidated by Zhou Xian.

Huang Taiji's resource hoarding route was also broken.

If Huang Taiji wants to prepare military salaries, grain and grass, he must be the first to squeeze his relatively weak North Korean neighbor!

After all, during the whole process of the rise of Jiannu, once they had no resources and could not survive the winter, they would free up their hands to beat people in North Korea.

Every time North Korea resisted, the result was that it collapsed without exception.

Then donate the grain cultivated by the Korean people.

So now Zhou Xian sent Chen Xinjia as an envoy to North Korea, proposing to occupy the three military towns of Mao Wenlong's garrison before.

North Korea will not be particularly embarrassed.

In that case, Zhou Xian could cultivate another Mao Wenlong behind Jiannu.

Sometimes history is so twisty.

But there is no shortage of history, and there is also a positive side.

At least, Mao Wenlong's interference tactics behind enemy lines have been verified and effective by many great military strategists in later generations.

Zhou Xian naturally picked up an effective plan and acted on it.

Hou Lianhui brought Chen Xinjia to the Chongde Palace.

Now the situation is urgent, and Zhou Xian has no time to greet politely.

After Chen Xinjia saluted, Zhou Xian directly appointed him.

"Chen Aiqing, I asked you to send an envoy to North Korea, and in three months, you need to obtain the right to garrison the Phi Island with North Korea."

"You can do it?"

"Master Horse, Weichen can't live up to the trust of Chitose Lord!"

"Okay, I know your talent, and I am waiting for your good news with Daming's Jiangshan Sheji."

"You must know that the Korean side has now become a strategic area for my Ming Dynasty to restrain Jiannu, and now we have cut off the channels for Huang Taiji to steal grain and salt and iron strategic military supplies from the Central Plains. So he will make up his mind on the North Korean side. ”

"Chitose Lord Shengming! Weichen also wanted to take the initiative to ask Ying to envoy to North Korea, and was planning to come here to write to Chitose Ye. ”

"He is worthy of being a loyal minister of the humerus of the Ming Dynasty."

"As I thought, this time I will give you Shang Fang's sword, you have the right to cut first and then play, without further ado, let's start immediately!"

"Your Highness, Wechen will set off!"

Chen Xinjia bowed and bowed, turned around and exited the main hall.

He hurriedly went home and told his wife and children about the situation.

took two of them and gradually rushed to Jiaozhou Bay.

Jiaozhou Bay is the sea passage to Jiannu Haiphong.

Through Jiaozhou Bay, you can enter the Bohai Sea and then reach North Korea.

North Korea is also separated from Phi Dao by a small strait.

The sea distance is only more than 90 nautical miles.

The strategic nature of that location speaks for itself.

Enter the large rear that can attack Jiannu.

Retreat can hold the strait and use the Ming firearms to block the attacking Jiannu army.

And there is North Korea as a buffer in the middle.

It can be said that it will form a horn with North Korea and curb the expansion of Jiannu at any time.

In this way, Huang Taiji's army had to take into account the military threats from the three directions of Phi Dao, Korea, and the north of the Ming Dynasty.

This move determines whether the Ming Dynasty can get rid of the situation of being semi-surrounded by Jiannu in the future.

After Zhou Xian arranged the candidates.

Also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, in Beijing, officials and people were discussing the conflict on the border between the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu Chen Bing.

Some people who are afraid that there will be no chaos in the world have said that now the two sides are fighting on the border.

It is even said that the border army of the Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses.

Now the occupation has taken on a one-sided stance.

Most of the people who said these words were traitors and lackeys who secretly financed Huang Taiji.

Of course, there are also many conspiracy theories, and officials who are proficient in thick black science believe that the fight has not yet begun.

Among the teahouses and inns in the capital, the most authoritative messengers belonged to the imperial merchants who transported supplies to the border army.

Their messages are extremely accurate.

said that the old marshal Hong Chengchou had already confronted the elite of General Lu Delin and the Jiannu army.

Those were rumors before.

Chen Xinjia went all the way out of the city, listening to these rumors.

I can't help but be bored.

He knows the situation of the Ming Dynasty best, and it seems that there is a great contradiction between the Donglin Party and the military generals in the court.

But now the whole situation is in the curtain of the master of the country.

Even, even North Korea will face the heavy pressure of Huang Taiji next, and the horse master has already predicted it.

All, when the horse is in the court, is already close to the demon.

After Chen Xinjia left, Zhou Xian immediately found Yan Taiqing.

He was ordered to oversee the transportation of grain and grass across the border.

Make sure that both lanes are unimpeded.

At the same time, all the existing military food in Beijing was hoarded in one place.

Always ready to support the war at the border passes.

In addition, a ban was issued in the territory of Daming.

Strictly control the price of food in the world.

Prevent those guys who have children and no assholes from making a fortune.

At the same time, Zhou Xian asked the central cabinet to issue a decree.

But all those who have enemies in the critical period will be connected to the nine clans.

This series of powerful operations are laying the groundwork for the start of the war.

At this moment, Liaodong, Shenyang City.

Huang Taiji was eating inside the palace.

Han Luo Yuyang walked in with a full expression and said anxiously: "Great Khan." ”

"Doctor Luo is here, come here, prepare dishes and chopsticks for Dr. Luo."

"Great Khan! The minion has eaten, and the minion is here to report a major event. ”

"Oh? What's up? Huang Taiji put down the knife that cut meat, and seeing Luo Yuyang's extremely panicked expression, he also became urgent: "Say it quickly." ”

"News from the south, our biggest partner in the south, Zhao Huaiqing, has beheaded the dog horse of Daming, and also passed his head to several ferries along the coast to set an example."

When Huang Taiji heard this, he looked stunned.

The news was beyond his expectations and took him by surprise.

His expression was obviously not very convinced.

Because although Huang Taiji is in the north, he has close ties with the clans in the south.

Speaking of which, he is a Zhongyuan Tong.

That Zhao Huaiqing is the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Zhou Xian is just Chongzhen's concubine, and his butcher's knife was actually handed to the royal family? That son-in-law is not simple. ”

Huang Taiji said such a sentence for a long time.

But the look on his face turned to indifference after being shocked.

Huang Taiji is a sinister person who guesses.

Once he shows this demeanor, it means that he has taken it very seriously.

Luo Yuyang, as the most loyal servant of Huang Taiji, naturally knew the state of mind of the Jiannu Han at the moment.

Huang Taiji has now completely and seriously put the concubine of the Ming Dynasty at the level of a strategic rival.

You know, that kid is just a colt.

When it comes to the royal bloodline, he can't even touch the edge.

But the murderous emperor's relatives and relatives are said to be beheaded.

originally thought that if Zhao Huaiqing was caught, he would give up his power, or even give up his title, and retreat with his whole body.

No matter how bad it is, it will have to wait a long time before the final verdict is made.
