Ranberry, one of the six grains.

The castle got its name from the abundance of candies.

But Yang Cheng should be more interested in another resource there, iron.

The highest quality iron in the Northeast is in Anshan.

However, the iron resources of Fort and Fort Dashi are also abundant.

However, Dashi Fort is close to Mongolia, while Fort is close to Dalinghe City.

The Daling River is rich in coal, which is a good helper for ironmaking.

Therefore, the ironworks were eventually located in Fort Ran.

When they arrived, Sun Yuanhua and Tang Ruowang were designing and planning.

When they saw Yang Chengying coming, they all stopped what they were doing and went out to welcome.

"Two gentlemen!" Yang Chengying clasped his fists and saluted, "It's still used to eating here." ”

There are not many people, and the living conditions are much worse.

Sun Yuanhua said with a smile: "Compared to Jinzhou Town, it is naturally incomparable." But compared with Liaodong and Mongolia, it is a paradise on earth. ”

"We, the followers of Christ, have long been accustomed to tempering."

With a Western accent, John Tang said optimistically.

"After this time, life will definitely improve."

Yang Chengying said a little apologetically: "When the time comes, I will definitely hold a few jars of wine to thank you." ”

Sun Yuanhua laughed.

Tang Ruowang said with a smile: "Yang Dashuai generously gave me the Huaide Medal, which makes me feel very honored. ”

"This medal is still being built, and it will be issued to you at the conference at the beginning of the year."

Yang Cheng should be vaccinated in advance, "I give you a medal, it has nothing to do with your religion, it is purely a personal gratitude." ”

"For me, that's enough."

John Tong laughed.

"How is the location of the church?"

Yang Chengying provoked another topic.

"Thanks to you, I have chosen to build a church in the southwest of Quang Ninh."

John Tang drew a cross on his chest, "It's just that there is a reluctant invitation below." ”

"You say."

"I have some parishioners in Macau, and they also want to come to Liaodong Town, but I don't know if they can."

"Will they be able to adapt to the cold climate of the north?"

"There is no problem, they can suffer anything."

"That's ......"

Yang Chengying deliberately pretended to be thoughtful.

Sun Yuanhua, who was on the side, stared at Yang Chengying and opened his mouth, but he didn't mention it in the end.

"No problem."

Yang Chengying glanced at Sun Yuanhua and replied affirmatively: "You just let them come, but there is only one thing, if you do something like a traitor, I won't spare my life." ”

"Well, I can assure you that they won't do that."

John Tang pressed his right hand on his chest and bowed.

Yang Chengying nodded.

Ninety-eight percent of Western missionaries are spies sent by the West to various parts of the world.

They sent back a letter to report back to their home countries.

Others avoid it, but Yang Chengying is happy to be close to them.

He knew that on the other side of the ocean, Britain was gearing up to challenge Dutch's maritime supremacy.

It is also necessary to seize the supremacy of the eastern seas from the Netherlands.

It is imperative to join forces, and this requires someone to carry this word.

"Mr. Tang, do you know anything about England?"

Yang Chengying suddenly asked.

"The current King of England, Charles I, is a man who is difficult to understand."

John Tong said: "Do things bstitently and go to war on two fronts, France and Spain. ”

"You have to mean that he is not a worthy king?" Yang Chengying asked.

"I am only a believer in Christ, and I have no right to criticize worldly kings."

Tang Ruowang said cautiously.

"Excuse me, are any of your parishioners from England?"

Yang Chengying suddenly asked.

Tang Ruowang was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red and white.

Rough!

Yang Chengying suddenly remembered one thing, Britain supported Protestantism and was regarded as a pagan by the Holy See.

How could John Thomp, a pure Christian believer, know a Protestant missionary?

"It doesn't matter if you don't, it's just that I didn't say it."

Yang Chengying hurriedly turned the page.

He thought to himself that he would have to wait for Alvarez to come back, or find another merchant.

John Tang was very curious and asked, "Master Hou, why are you looking for missionaries from England?" ”

"Well, I'd like to ask about England." Yang Chengying continued to talk nonsense.

Although John Tang was skeptical, he did not ask any further.

Since the castle is in its infancy, there is nothing to see.

Bidding farewell to Sun Yuanhua and Tang Ruowang, Yang Chengying immediately rode to the next stop, Gaizhou.

At the same time, the Ming court disagreed on how to deal with Yang Chengying.

Under the plaque that read "Nine Thoughts", Chongzhen looked angrily at the subordinates kneeling in front of him.

"You are all good ministers of the Ming Dynasty, so you can't come up with a decent solution?"

After receiving Ma Shilong's recital, Chongzhen hurriedly summoned several cabinet ministers, the superintendent Sun Chengzong, and Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the military department, into the palace.

But after listening to the method given by Liang Tingdong, Chongzhen was even more dizzy: "If it's like you said, do I still need to worry about it here?" ”

"The minister is guilty." Liang Tingdong bent down and kowtowed.

"Xu Aiqing, what do you think about this?" Chongzhen turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi was already a scholar of the Ministry of Rites at this time.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although this matter is big, it has not yet reached the point where it must be resolved."

Xu Guangqi said: "The emptiness of Jizhen's defense is the top priority. ”

Chongzhen didn't speak.

Liang Tingdong said: "Xu Shilang, what you said is unfair. What do you mean that it is not yet a priority? One step later, the Guan Ning Army will be absorbed by the Jinzhou Army. ”

"So what is the best way for Lord Liang? Wooing the Guan Ning Army? Or capture Yang Chengying, or rise and fall to him openly. ”

Xu Guangqi asked rhetorically one after another, and refuted Liang Tingdong speechless.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the only way is to release Yuan Chonghuan immediately."

Qian Longxi came out of the queue and said.

Chongzhen immediately changed from not speaking to being angry.

Zhou Yanru seized the opportunity and reprimanded Qian Longxi: "You are so bold, Yuan Thief is a criminal appointed by His Majesty, you actually ask Your Majesty to acquit him, what is your intention!" ”

"The minister has no other thoughts, but proposes that this is the best way."

Qian Longxi explained without humility or arrogance: "Taking advantage of the fact that Yang Chengying has not yet officially reorganized the Guanning Army, let Yuan Chonghuan continue to lead the Guanning Army, mainly stationed in Jizhen, you can get the effect of killing two birds with one stone." ”

"Your Majesty, Qian Longxi is shielding the old man!"

Zhou Yanru hurriedly played to Chongzhen: "He has a lot of relationship with Han Yi, and Han Yi is Yuan Chonghuan's teacher. ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhou, this is a forgery."

Qian Longxi blushed and argued with the other party.

"Enough!"

Chongzhen was depressed, and asked you to discuss Yang Chengying's countermeasures, which turned into a discussion of Yuan Chonghuan.

The hall was silent.

"Sun Aiqing, what good can you do?"

Things have come to this point, Chongzhen can only pin his hopes on Sun Chengzong.

But Sun Chengzong was also very embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to send someone to pack the memorabilia of impeachment in a box and send it over."

Sun Chengzong thought for a while and suggested: "It's a reminder to him, and I'm slowly trying to figure out a way." ”

"Okay, okay." Chongzhen sighed and had no choice but to agree.

Without that, there is no better way to do it.
