Niuzhuang is Yingkou in later generations.

"Niuzhuang is the only salt production base in the Qing Dynasty. It is an important base for the Qing Dynasty to provide salt to Mongolia under his jurisdiction. It is also the main source of income for the Qing government's Ministry of Revenue. At this point, I think that if we smash Niuzhuang and cut off the salt supply of the Qing Dynasty, the attack on the Qing Dynasty will be more deadly than Anshan."

When he said this, Qian Qiancheng, the Jinyiwei who had always been leisurely, stood up and walked in front of him. He faced Zhao Liangju and other groups of Jinhua officials, and explained patiently.

In fact, no one can compare to Qian Qiancheng and other people in terms of direct lineage.

So outside, when Zhao Xing was not around, their opinions became very important.

"The General Mao was right. Since the purpose of our attack this time is not to conquer the entire Liaodong, but to give Huang Taiji a blow. Then the blow is a blow. What our adults demand is to weaken the national strength of the Qing Dynasty. Then I think that cutting off his only salt supply base is better than directly attacking Anshan."

Qian Qiancheng is right.

Since the Qing Dynasty occupied Guangning since the Nurhaci generation, it has actually compressed the entire western Liaoning into a small western Liaoning Corridor area.

Outside the western Liaoning Corridor, such as the Fuxin, Zhangwu, Tongliao and Aohan areas in later generations, all became the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

In Fuxin and Aohan, there were enough coal and iron ore farms, and now the Qing Dynasty has developed them. However, Anshan was developed early and seemed to be the most important source base for the Qing Dynasty.

But if this place is lost, it cannot be really cut off. The production of iron materials in the Qing Dynasty. In this way, it will be a little irrelevant to the blow to the Qing Dynasty economy.

But Niuzhuang's salt farm is different.

This is the only salt production base in the entire Liaodong.

Of course, there are also several salt lakes in Mongolia. However, in this era, the salt extraction process was insufficient. In the later generations of Mongolia, the huge salt lakes produced all bitter salt, which are poisonous and will kill people if eaten.

Therefore, the entire Qing Dynasty and the salt in the Mongolian region he included all depended on part of the smuggling from the Ming Dynasty. The only one was produced and supplied by this Niuzhuang area.

Since Sun Chuanting and Yang Sichang rectified the border army and the rise of Dongjiang Town again, the Ming Dynasty's smuggling of Mongolia and Liaodong has been completely cut off. Then the entire Liaodong and Mongolia can only rely on one Niuzhuang.

Huang Taiji's government and the main income of the treasury was to rely on the state-owned salt to the Mongolian region, which stabilized the hearts of the Mongolian people and even slammed their throats. At the same time, it also brought a steady stream of huge fiscal revenue to the Qing government.

Because Huang Taiji established the Qing Empire, he further moved closer to the Central Plains culture. For the Eight Banners of Manchus and Mongols, officials still rely on their fiefs to support themselves. However, a large number of Han officials and the reorganization of the Eight Banners of Han, Huang Taiji had to pay salaries to these officials and soldiers. Therefore, the financial pressure was quite great.

People cannot ignore salt. If they do not eat salt, everyone can see the consequences.

Horses, livestock, cattle and sheep must also eat salt, otherwise the livestock and horses will get sick and eventually die.

From this point of view, taking Niuzhuang is really a more effective blow to the Qing Dynasty than taking Anshan.

Mao Zhongming pointed to the section of his journey from Xiuyan to Yingkou: "From us, along the coast, this road is just some low hills and no steep places. This can ensure the continuous transportation safety of our logistics.

And the most important thing is that our navy can also cooperate with us in combat along the coast."

After obtaining Zhao Xing's robbery certificate, the Navy Zhang Dake, who was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Denglai, crossed the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea and the South China Sea. Every year, they robbed a lot of money.

In addition, the supply of the arms factory in Pidao, Dongjiang Town, Zhaoxing. Now Zhang Dake's navy is like a blow, with an extremely large scale. He has completely mastered the entire sea area around the Ming Empire.

What are the red-haired and white-haired navy, what are the pirates of Zheng Zilong, in front of him, they can only obediently pay tribute and pay tribute.

So now Zhang Dake divides its army into three parts, one is patrolling the ocean to find the unlucky people, and the other is to stay in the Denglai Port as a warning, and replace the tired brothers who have been fighting for a long time in front at any time.

Another part is those brothers who have been tired after a long battle, retreated to Lushun, and obtained supplies from Dongjiang Town here to repair and rectify.

This arrangement was also proposed by Zhao Xing, which is the method of the aircraft carrier battle group in later generations.

One is fighting, one is preparing for battle, and the other is trimming. Ensure that there is always a fleet with abundant combat effectiveness on the ocean surface.

The deputy general who was left by Zhang Dake in Dongjiang Town also stood up: "If this arrangement is made, my navy will have a place to use it."

Then he took the baton from Qian Qiancheng's hand: "I can attack first and capture Bayuquan at the mouth of Liaohe River. In this way, the team attacking Niuzhuang can get my cooperation at sea without any worries. And your transportation line can be transported directly to the front line by sea without taking the coastal roads. This will ensure that there is no accident."

Faced with a well-founded plan, Zhao Liangju couldn't say anything anymore.

This is that no matter which force it is, their roots are ultimately in the hands of Zhao Xing. In recent years, Zhao Xing has been strictly suppressing the fights in the nest. Therefore, there is no such phenomenon as the Donglin Party members, where there is a need to fight outside and internally.

Zhao Liangju still reminded him responsibly: "Your opinions are your opinions, but all our opinions here are just opinions. We must report them to Lord Zhao and the emperor. We must do our business according to the emperor's will. This must not be overwhelmed."

This is the role Zhao Liang gave to those who spent money in Dongjiang Town.

This is the instruction that Zhao Xing, a teacher, quietly sent to them not long ago - to subtly transform the thoughts of Dongjiang Town. Slowly let the civil and military soldiers and officials of Dongjiang Town know about it.

Dongjiang Town is Dongjiang Town of the Ming Dynasty, Dongjiang Town under my control of Zhao Xing, and not Dongjiang Town of his Mao family father and son.

This is very critical.

So a few people carefully considered the reasons and results, and finally wrote a report cautiously.

In this report, Zhao Liangju signed the letter.

Then it was rushed to Beijing.

When Zhao Xing and Chongzhen received such a report, they were quite pleased. So Emperor Chongzhen wrote a few big words without hesitation: "When you are overseas, the situation of the war is urgent, and it is not a matter of principle, so there is no need to ask for instructions."

Such an instruction shows that Chongzhen has begun to feel at ease with Dongjiang Town.
