Of course, among them, Emperor Chongzhen personally stared at the Royal Bank of the Ming Dynasty. Because in this process, some officials had proposed not to allow those merchants to exchange the silver, or to print more silver notes, anyway, there was already a lot of silver in the warehouse. In this way, Emperor Chongzhen did not agree.

At this time, the silver notes were actually just silver notes, not paper notes. The transformation from silver notes to paper notes was actually the cultivation of the reputation of the court. Emperor Chongzhen was not yet naive, but in just one or two years, he could cultivate the negative reputation value.

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

This time, taking advantage of the east wind of salt administration reform, Emperor Chongzhen believed that the process of the transformation of silver bills to paper currency would be greatly reduced, but there would still be a long process.

Just as Emperor Chongzhen was busy with this matter in China, a new round of war was about to begin on the Liaodong Peninsula.

Huang Taiji asked the old and persistent Dai Shan as the commander, leading the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty and the Han army to march to Jinzhou. This time, there were few Mongolians, so the cavalry was of little use in that narrow place.

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

This heavy red-clothed cannon was not very advantageous when he was dragged into the field, but if he destroyed the small city, it would be a real killer move! He didn't believe it anymore. With the help of the red-clothed cannon and the elite troops of the Qing Dynasty, he could not drive the Ming army into the sea?

If he really had to worry, he would be worried that the navy would not be able to cut off the Ming army's retreat in time and be fled by the Ming army, which would be bad. Only by annihilation of these invading Ming troops would be even more difficult to believe that the Ming country would gather troops to cross the sea next time.

Therefore, Huang Taiji specifically told the attack on the land army not to force too much, so as not to be scared by the Ming army and fled by boat without waiting for the army to attack.

On the other hand, Huang Taiji also issued a strict order to North Korea, if the North Korean navy could not arrive in Jinzhou within a limited time, he would have to the North Korean king come to Shengjing to apologize.

He had an idea for this Korean navy and was not ready to return it after being transferred. He let Shang Kexi go to train and become part of the Qing Dynasty. Only in this way can he strengthen the Qing Dynasty as quickly as possible, and cross the sea to the Ming Dynasty. Not only can he plunder the Ming Dynasty's grain, but he can also ensure the transactions between the Jiangnan salt merchants and the Qing Dynasty.

Look, Huang Taiji was in Chongzheng Hall, looking at the copy of the covenant celebrating his birthday with the Great Salt Shangle, and he was very happy.

Since Fan Yongdou and other Shanxi merchants were defeated by the Ming Dynasty, he has actually 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, rather than just eating and waiting to die, and be satisfied with the current situation in Liaodong. It is precisely because of this goal that he attaches great importance to the alliance with the salt merchants in Jiangnan, Ming Dynasty.

In order to convey the covenant back as soon as possible, Wu Zhong did not spy on the situation in the Ming country in detail. However, he also brought back some news.

For example, the news brought back by Duoduo and Haoge was confirmed again. In addition, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was innovating the government affairs and sent imperial envoys to Jiangnan to rectify the administration of officials. There was also civil unrest, but then sent troops to suppress it. In addition, water conservancy was being built to prevent and control natural disasters.

These news made Huang Taiji very alert and even a little scared.

It is undeniable that Ming Dynasty is a giant with a strong foundation. If the Ming Dynasty emperor really worked hard, he would sort out the domestic contradictions and then concentrate his efforts on dealing with the Qing Dynasty...

Thinking of this, Huang Taiji didn't dare to think about it anymore.

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

First, it is difficult to conceal these news, and second, after they are passed to Liaodong, Huang Taiji can force him to do something so that he can prepare for war without resting. After all, Liaodong has limited resources. If Huang Taiji uses materials for military purposes, it will inevitably affect people's livelihood and it will be difficult to digest the Han people who were plundered to Liaodong.

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

The emperor suddenly changed his face, which scared the eunuchs and palace maids serving the side of him so much that they did not dare to speak. They held their breath and tried to minimize their presence.

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

Even if the Qing Dynasty became stronger, if the Qing Dynasty wanted to go further, it would have to do more. This would mean that the prince-consor Wu Zhong, who was far away in Jiangnan, would be more dependent.

He was born in the Jinyiwei and was familiar with the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. No one had any advantage over him in bribing Ming Dynasty officials.

The country of Ming Dynasty must be in chaos. To make things difficult for the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Wu Zhong is indispensable.

Unfortunately, the plan did not change quickly. Wu Zhong’s primary task was to go to Jiangnan to contact merchants. Therefore, he left by boat, so it was not convenient for him to pretend to save the prince of Ming Kingdom and go back. But the road between Wu Zhong and the commander of the Jinyiwei will definitely be taken in the future.

As Huang Taiji thought about it, 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 spoke: "Transfer the order and summon several princesses to return to the palace."

He decided to hold a family dinner to be better for his third daughter. In this way, he would have something to say when Wu Zhong comes back.

Such things are really rare. When Huang Taiji's daughters heard this, they immediately cleaned up the floor and quickly returned to the palace. However, Huang Taiji's third daughter was a little special and seemed to not want to come, but the eunuch who went to the Prince Consort's Mansion to pass the imperial edict was told by the emperor that this was the main master and could not be avoided. Therefore, this Princess Gulun Jingduan had to be avoided.

Before Huang Taiji arrived, the main concubines in the harem and Huang Taiji's son and daughter 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.

While speaking, it is indispensable to compare with each other regardless of whether it is open or secret.

One said that my husband is the son of Lin Danhan, a descendant of the Golden Family, and he is a lot of land, which raises his value;

Another one said that my husband followed the Qing Dynasty to conquer the world, and was the most iron-hard ally of the Aisin Gioro family, showing his status.

Afterwards, they naturally started to sarcastically at Princess Gulun Jingduan because her husband was originally just a Han slave.

In response to this, the eldest princess Gulun Jingduan replied to them at all, just lowering her head, as if she was trying hard to suppress something.

Not long after, Huang Taiji finally arrived.

Therefore, there are naturally some dramas that should be there. These married women try their best to show them in front of Huang Taiji for their own future or for their husband's family.

There are not too many scenes in the Qing Dynasty harem, so I won’t go into details.

However, what they all did not expect was that Huang Taiji was very concerned about Princess Gulun Jingduan and even found that her face was a little wrong.

As a result, Huang Taiji was worried, not to take good care of Wu Zhong when he was away, he would be disappointed to his heart.

So, despite the opposition of Princess Gulun Jingduan, he immediately summoned the imperial doctor to show Princess Gulun Jingduan how he was in good health!

"Congratulations to Princess, Congratulations to Princess, I'm happy!" No one expected that the imperial doctor suddenly reacted with surprise, which made everyone stunned.

When Huang Taiji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhong had a child. In this way, he could tie Wu Zhong more firmly and make him work hard for the Qing Dynasty.

However, immediately afterwards, Huang Taiji discovered that all the concubines in the harem had strange expressions, looking at Princess Gulun Jingduan without saying anything.

After seeing this, he immediately realized that Wu Zhong had been away. How long has Wu Zhong been away? No matter how the child in his belly was, it was impossible for Wu Zhong to be!

After understanding this, Huang Taiji was furious on the spot and pointed at Princess Gulun Jingduan. His hands were shaking and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Then, news soon came out in the palace that it was said that some eunuchs and palace maids were rude and angered the emperor. The palace maids and eunuchs who served the emperor's family banquet that day were basically killed by sticks on the spot! In addition, an imperial physician was added.

Huang Taiji was in a very bad mood. Although he killed someone to silence him, those concubines and princesses would not be able to kill them. There were so many people, although they issued a ban order, but they could not keep the fire. They would definitely spread in the future, which made him worry. If Wu Zhong knew about this, it would definitely be unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty.

If Huang Taiji had known, Wu Zhong would not take his daughter seriously at all. The reason he wanted to marry was because his daughter did not regard the Han people as human beings and wanted to chase him and beat him, which was deliberately revenge.

Huang Taiji didn't know that the scheming he planned was actually useless. As soon as Wu Zhong returned to Ming Dynasty, he immediately confessed everything and continued to fulfill his duties as a secret spy in the Jinyiwei.

Just when he was in a bad mood, he reported to him again, saying that the troops of Tashanzu Dashou were in danger of attacking Haizhou, and the night he sent was very active.

At this moment, Huang Taiji was angry. If he didn't beat him, he would dare to provoke him?

But even though he was angry, the war had begun in the direction of Jinzhou, and all the materials and supplies were allocated there. With the strength of the Qing Dynasty, he could not start a war on both sides. So he had to write a letter and send it to Tashan.

Not long after, at the Tashan General's Mansion, Zu Dashou looked at the ten lines at once and read the letter sent by Huang Taiji. He was surprised at first, and then laughed.

"Brother, what is the letter written?" Zu Dacheng asked curiously, "If we sent the night, we went to the outside of Haizhou City and wandered around, so he wouldn't be angry?"

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

"Why did the elder brother laugh when he read this letter?" Zu Dacheng said curiously, "If you might as well send troops to attack us. This is not a joke!"

Zu Dashou stood up, walked to his brother, handed over the letter directly, and said with a smile: "He did not send troops, he just threatened me. In this way, what Governor Hong said is indeed true. Governor Lu has rebuilt Dongjiang Town and restrained Jianlu's troops. Therefore, he can only intimidate and did not send troops."

To be honest, when Hong Chengchou's military order came, Zu Dashou did not believe it. Because it was very difficult for him to rebuild Dongjiang Town. Even if Lu Xiangsheng sent troops across the sea to Jinzhou in Liaodong, whether he could conquer, how much loss, whether he could gain a foothold, and whether he had enough strength to threaten Jianlu, these are all unknowns.

However, Zu Dashou and Huang Taiji had been in contact for many years. When he saw this intimidation letter, he knew that the Ming army landed in Jinzhou had troubled Huang Taiji.

Now, Dongjiang Town is no longer under the jurisdiction of Guanning, so there is no problem of distributing military pay and food from Guanning.

If Dongjiang Town, which is under the command of the governor of Baoding, can gain a foothold in Jinzhou and make Jianlu feel threatened, it will undoubtedly relieve the pressure on Guan Ning. Only when Zu Dashou realized this would be so happy.

Seeing the letter from Huang Taiji passed in his brothers, Zu Dashou walked back to his seat and sat down, and suddenly said with emotion: "It's a blessing that we didn't choose the wrong choice at the beginning. If this continues, Jianlu will have trouble in the future. The situation in Liaodong will change!"

"Yes, brother, I'm worried about Huang Taiji!" After reading it, Zu Dacheng said with a little gloating, "If Governor Lu sent elite troops like our Guanning Army to Jinzhou, Huang Taiji would probably not be able to sleep well in the future!"

"This should be impossible!" Zu Dashou heard this and shook his head immediately, "How could the Ming Dynasty have so many elite soldiers? The emperor cannot send the three camps under the Imperial Horse Supervision to Jinzhou! So, I hope Jinzhou can hold on!"

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

Upon hearing this, Zu Dashou nodded and recognized his brother's words.

He thought for a while and said to his brother: "This letter will be passed on to Governor Hong. In addition, if you don't accept it, you will send more money, but you should pay attention to it. If there is any movement, you will withdraw it immediately."

Of course, his brothers would not have any objections.

Afterwards, they turned their eyes to the sharp edge of the Liaodong Peninsula. As expected, a fierce war was about to take place there.

If the Ming army wins, they can gain a foothold there, and the Jianlu life will be sad in the future.

If Jianlu wins, everything will be restored to the past, and Liaodong will still be the Liaodong of Jianlu.

In fact, it was not only Zu Dashou and others who were paying attention, including the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, who were paying attention to the upcoming war.
