Chapter 326
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen personally kept an eye on the Ming Royal Bank system.Because during this process, some officials had suggested not to allow the merchants to exchange the silver, or to print more silver notes. Anyway, there was already a lot of silver in the warehouse.And so on, Emperor Chongzhen did not agree at all.

The banknotes at this time are really just banknotes, not banknotes.The transformation from banknotes to banknotes is actually the cultivation of the court's reputation.Emperor Chongzhen was not yet naive, and he was able to cultivate a negative reputation in just one or two years.

Therefore, during this training process, he would keep an eye on anything that might affect the court's credibility and would never do it.

Taking advantage of the reform of the salt policy this time, Emperor Chongzhen believed that the process of transforming banknotes into banknotes would be greatly shortened, but it would still be a long process.

While Emperor Chongzhen was busy with domestic affairs, a new round of war was about to begin on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Huang Taiji asked the mature and prudent Dai Shan to be the commander-in-chief, leading a total of 2 people from the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and the Han Army to march to Jinzhou.This time, there were few Mongols, so the cavalry was not very useful in that narrow place.

To be honest, Huang Taiji was not too worried about this expedition.In his opinion, even if the Ming army came prepared, Lushun City had been demolished before, and even if it was not demolished, it would be just a small city, and it could not be compared with a strong city like Jinzhou.What's more, this battle of Lushun didn't even need to transport cannons from Shengjing. On the Jinzhou side, there were still a few red cannons brought by Kong Youde.

This kind of cumbersome red-clothed cannon does not have much advantage in field battles, but if it destroys a small town, it will be a real killer!He didn't believe it anymore. With the help of red cannons and the elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, couldn't they drive the Ming army into the sea?

If he really wanted to talk about worry, he was worried that the navy would not be able to cut off the Ming army's retreat at sea in time, and it would be bad if the Ming army escaped.Only by annihilating these invading Ming troops, I believe that it will be even more difficult for Ming to gather troops to cross the sea next time.

Therefore, when the army attacked on land, Huang Taiji also specifically explained not to force it too much, lest the Ming army would be frightened and escape by boat before the army attacked.

On the other hand, Huang Taiji also issued a strict decree to North Korea. If the North Korean navy could not arrive at Jinzhou within the time limit, he would ask the North Korean leader to come to Shengjing to plead guilty.

Regarding this North Korean navy, he was still thinking about it. After being transferred, he was not going to return it.Let Shang Kexi go to train and become a part of the Great Qingshui Division.Only in this way can the Great Qingshui Division be strengthened at the fastest speed, and thus cross the sea to the Ming Dynasty. Not only can it plunder the grain of the Ming Dynasty, but it can also guarantee the sale of the great salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and the Qing Dynasty.

No, Huang Taiji was in the Chongzheng Hall, looking at the copy of the covenant with the Great Salt Merchant Le Qingsheng, he was very happy.

Since Fan Yongdou and other Shanxi merchants were taken away by the Ming Dynasty, he has always been worried.

To be honest, Huang Taiji is indeed a promising king. What he wants to do is to be stronger than wild boar skin and create a bigger situation, instead of just waiting to die and being satisfied with the status quo of Liaodong.It is precisely because he has this goal that he attaches great importance to the covenant with the Jiangnan salt merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to send back the covenant as soon as possible this time, Wu Zhong did not inquire in detail about the situation in the Ming Dynasty.However, I also brought back some news.

For example, the news brought back by Duduo and Haoge was confirmed again.Also, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was reforming the government and sent imperial envoys to the south of the Yangtze River to rectify the administration of officials. There was also a civil uprising, but he immediately sent troops to suppress it.In addition, water conservancy is being built to prevent natural disasters.

These news made Huang Taiji very vigilant, and even a little scared in his heart.

It is undeniable that the Ming Dynasty is a giant with a strong foundation.If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty really worked hard, he sorted out the domestic conflicts, and then concentrated his efforts on dealing with the Qing Dynasty...

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji didn't dare to think further.

Of course, he didn't know that although the information given to him was true, it was actually passed on to him with the permission of Emperor Chongzhen.

Firstly, it is not easy to conceal these news, and secondly, after these news are passed to Liaodong, they can force Huang Taiji to do something, so that he can prepare his army for war without recuperating.After all, Liaodong's resources were limited. If Huang Taiji used materials for the military, it would inevitably affect people's livelihood, and it would be difficult to digest the Han people who had been looted to Liaodong.

At this time, Huang Taiji suddenly lost his smile, sighed and said: "Oh, the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is still too weak!"

The emperor's face suddenly changed, and the maids serving in the palace were too frightened to make a sound, and held their breath, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible.

Naturally, Huang Taiji would not pay attention to these slaves, but continued to think about his own affairs.

Even if Master Daqing becomes stronger, if Daqing wants to go further, he must do more.And for this, he will rely even more heavily on Wu Zhong, the son-in-law who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River.

He was born in Jinyiwei, and he is familiar with the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. No one has more advantages than him in buying Ming officials.

There must be chaos in the Ming country, and Wu Zhong is indispensable to add trouble to the Ming emperor.

It's a pity that the plan did not change quickly. Wu Zhong's first task was to contact merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, it was not convenient for him to leave by boat and pretend to save the Ming Dynasty prince.But the path taken by Commander Wu Zhong and Jin Yiwei will definitely be taken in the future.

As Huang Taiji thought about this, he felt the importance of Wu Zhong more and more.Looking at the covenant in his hand, if Wu Zhong was not dedicated, he would not have been able to get it so quickly.

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji suddenly had an idea, and immediately said: "Decree to summon the princesses back to the palace."

He decided to hold a family banquet to treat his third daughter better, so that when Wu Zhong came back in the future, he would have something to say.

Such things are really rare.When Huang Taiji's daughters heard this, they immediately tidied up and returned to the palace.On the contrary, Huang Taiji's third daughter is a bit special, and she seems not to want to come, but the servant who went to the son-in-law's mansion to pass the decree has been explained by the emperor.Therefore, Princess Gu Lun Jingduan had to come.

Before Huang Taiji arrived, the main concubines in the harem, as well as Huang Taiji's sons and daughters, were already in place, waiting for Huang Taiji to arrive.

Of course, before the emperor came, they would definitely not sit quietly and do nothing.

Comparing each other, whether overtly or secretly, is indispensable during the conversation.

One said, my son-in-law is the son of Lin Dan Khan, a descendant of the gold family, a bunch of blah blah blah blah, raising his status;

Another one said, my son-in-law followed the Qing Dynasty to conquer the world, and was the most staunch ally of the Aixinjueluo family, blah blah blah, to show his status.

Afterwards, naturally, they all started to sneer at Princess Gu Lunjingduan.Because her consort was originally just a Han slave.

Regarding this, Princess Gu Lun Jingduan replied to them at all, just lowered her head, as if she was trying to suppress something.

Not long after, Huang Taiji finally arrived.

Therefore, there are natural dramas. These married women, whether for their own future or for the sake of their husband's family, do their best to behave in front of Huang Taiji.

There are not too many dramas in the harem of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so I won't go into detail one by one.

However, what all of them didn't expect was that Huang Taiji was very concerned about Princess Gu Lun Jingduan, and even noticed something was wrong with her face.

In this way, Huang Taiji became worried, not to mention that when Wu Zhong was not around, his heart would be chilled if he didn't take good care of it.

So, regardless of Princess Gu Lun Jingduan's objection, she immediately summoned the imperial doctor to show Princess Gu Lun Jingduan how she was doing!
"Congratulations to the princess, congratulations to the princess, you are very happy!" No one expected that the royal doctor suddenly reacted with surprise, which made everyone stunned.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect Wu Zhong to have a child. In this way, Wu Zhong could be tied more firmly and let him work for the Qing Dynasty.

However, immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji discovered that all the concubines in the harem had strange expressions on their faces and looked at Princess Gu Lun Jingduan without saying anything.

At this sight, he immediately woke up. How long had Wu Zhong been away?No matter what happens, the child in this belly cannot be Wu Zhong's!
After thinking about this, Huang Taiji was furious on the spot, pointing at Princess Gu Lun Jingduan, his hands were shaking, and he was speechless for a long time.

Afterwards, news quickly spread in the palace that some eunuchs and maids were rude and angered the emperor. The maids who served the emperor's family banquet that day, a total of more than 30 people, were basically all killed on the spot!In addition, add an imperial doctor.

Huang Taiji was in a very bad mood. Although he killed people to silence them, those concubines and princesses could not be killed, and there were so many people. If it got out, he had to worry. If Wu Zhong knew about it, it would definitely be detrimental to Qing Dynasty.

If Huang Taiji knew, Wu Zhong didn't take his daughter seriously at all, and the reason why he wanted to marry was because his daughter didn't treat the Han people as a human being, and she chased him and beat him, out of deliberate revenge.

What's more, Huang Taiji didn't know that the scheming he planned was actually useless at all. As soon as Wu Zhong returned to the Ming Dynasty, he immediately confessed everything and continued to perform his duties as a secret agent of the Jinyiwei.

Just when he was in a bad mood, another urgent report came in, saying that Tashan Zu Dashou's troops showed signs of attacking Haizhou, and the Ye Bu Shuang sent out was very active.

This time, Huang Taiji was furious, if he didn't beat him, how dare he come to provoke him?
However, if you are angry, you are angry. Now the war has begun in the direction of Jinzhou, and all the supplies, food, and grass have been allocated there.With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, there is no way to fight on two fronts.So, he had no choice but to write a letter and send it to Tashan.

Not long after, at Tashan General Military Mansion, Zu Dashou read the letter sent by Huang Taiji with a glance at ten lines. His face was first surprised and then he smiled.

"Brother, what is written in this letter?" Zu Dacheng asked a little curiously, "The ones we sent were not accepted at night, and they all wandered outside Haizhou City, so he won't be angry?"

Zu Dashou heard this, and said with a smile: "We are despising Jianlu, how could he not be angry!"

"Then why did the elder brother still laugh when he read this letter?" Zu Dacheng said curiously, "Maybe he sent troops to attack us, this is not a joke!"

Zu Dashou stood up, walked in front of his brother, passed the letter directly, and said with a smile: "He didn't send troops, he just threatened me. From this point of view, what Governor Hong said is true. Governor Lu has rebuilt the Dongjiang River The town restrained Jianlu's troops. Therefore, he could only intimidate and did not send troops."

To be honest, when Hong Chengchou's military order first came, Zu Dashou didn't believe it.Because the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town is very difficult in his mind.Even if Lu Xiangsheng sent troops across the sea to Jinzhou in Liaodong, whether he would be able to fight it down, how much he would lose, whether he would be able to stand firm, and whether he would have enough strength to threaten Jianlu, these are all unknowns.

However, Zu Dashou and Huang Taiji have been dealing with each other for many years. After reading this threatening letter, he knew that the Ming army that landed in Jinzhou made Huang Taiji bother.

Now on Daming's side, Dongjiang Town is no longer under Guan Ning's management, so there is no problem of distributing military pay and food from Guan Ning.

If Dongjiang Town, which belongs to the governor of Baoding, can gain a foothold in Jinzhou and make Jianlu feel threatened, it will undoubtedly reduce the pressure on Guan Ning.Knowing this, Zu Dashou will be so happy.

Seeing the letter from Huang Taiji being passed on to his brother, Zu Dashou walked back to his seat and sat down, and suddenly said with emotion: "Fortunately, we didn't make a wrong choice at the beginning. Worry, the situation in Liaodong will change!"

"Yeah, big brother, I'm worried about Huang Taiji!" Zu Dacheng said gloatingly after reading it, "If Governor Lu sends elites like our Guan Ning Army to Jinzhou, the emperor will Tai Chi probably won't be able to sleep well!"

"This should be impossible!" Zu Dashou shook his head immediately after hearing this, "How could it be possible for Daming to have so many elites? It is impossible for the emperor to send the three major battalions under the Yumajian to the Jinzhou side! So , I hope that Jinzhou can hold on!"

"I think it's a bit difficult. Huang Taiji will definitely pull out this nail." Zu Dabi also finished reading at this time, and immediately shook his head and said, "There is no strong city to defend there, so difficult!"

Hearing this, Zu Dashou also nodded, agreeing with his brother's words.

He thought for a while, then said to his brother: "Forward this letter to Governor Hong. In addition, Yebu will send more, but be careful, if there is any movement, it will be withdrawn immediately."

Naturally, his brothers would have no objections.

After that, they turned their attention to the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.As expected, a fierce battle is about to take place there.

If the Ming army wins, it will be able to gain a foothold there, and the days of Jianlu will be sad in the future.

If Jianlu wins, everything will return to the way it was before, Liaodong is still Liaodong where Jianlu was built.

In fact, not only Zu Dashou and others are paying attention, but also the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, as well as the Ming Dynasty, are paying attention to the war that is about to begin.

 Thank you for the ten thousand rewards from Dao Dharma, and thank you for your reward!There will definitely be three shifts tomorrow, and there will be only two shifts due to overtime work the day after tomorrow.
