Although the Manchurian nobles are still ready to move, dreaming of conquering the Central Plains, but Huang Taiji and Haoge know very well that their dreams are impossible to come true, a few years have passed, and the situation that makes them more and more worried has appeared one after another, and the talents of the Great Qing Kingdom began to lose a large number of talents. It is also a day of being a monk and hitting the clock for a day, losing enthusiasm, many people say goodbye without saying goodbye, and these people who do not say goodbye first of all transfer their families directly, and eventually disappear themselves.

In terms of economic development, a few years have passed, the Qing Dynasty has not improved in the slightest, the mutual market in the direction of Liaodong has been closed, the start of the mutual market is far away, the powerful Jiangning battalion is stationed in Liaodong, the Manchu Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners do not dare to move at all, thinking of entering the customs to plunder, that is, looking for death, can only rely on the curve to trade with the Central Plains, but such a transaction, increased the cost, but also made many merchants in the Great Qing Kingdom began to be dissatisfied.

However, the merchants did not have much status in the Qing Dynasty, and they did not dare to cause trouble casually, otherwise they would not be able to save their lives, but what Huang Taiji and Haoge did not expect was that a few years later, a large number of merchants disappeared collectively, and disappeared from Ningxia's Anning Fort and Jingbian, in fact, it was not to disappear, but these merchants simply entered the Guannei, they had money and assets, as long as they explained the situation to the government, they could obtain the identity of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, which indicated that a large amount of wealth in the Great Qing Dynasty disappeared.

The Qing Dynasty began to circulate the currency of the Great Jin Dynasty, although the imperial court repeatedly ordered to prohibit the popularity of the Great Jin currency, it was still necessary to trade with gold, silver and copper coins, but the copper coins disappeared in the Great Jin Dynasty, and all of them went into the banks. The vast majority of the gold, silver and jewelry also entered the bank, even a lot of Manchu nobles, also tried their best to deposit the gold, silver and jewelry in the bank, with such an atmosphere, the imperial court banned the circulation of money, but it was a cover-up.

Huang Taiji and Hauge also used to think about issuing banknotes. The paper money used to fight against the Great Jin Dynasty, but when they really thought about implementing it, they found that the imperial court did not have such a ability at all, and even the Manchurian nobles did not support such a practice, and the merchants would not use such paper money, and the common people would not accept it, if it was forcibly pushed away, I am afraid it would cause devastating consequences.

The situation in the Mongolian steppes is even more worrying.

Hetao and Urumqi have exerted great strength. A large number of tribes in the grassland began to submit and accept the jurisdiction of the government, a large number of Han people entered the grassland, mostly merchants, and the Mongolian tribes became more and more dependent on the government and the Han people, and their clothing, food, housing and transportation were basically inseparable from the government and the Han people. These large tribes need to be maintained, and even more so, commodities need to be traded. The Hetao and Urumqi provinces are the largest trading markets.

The government opened a school here, and although the school was a novelty, many tribal nobles sent their children to study in the school, and the curriculum taught in the school was the Four Books and the Five Classics and Confucianism. It is conceivable that once these thoughts penetrate into the heart, what kind of changes will occur in the steppe tribes in the future.

The Xibe and Daurian tribes became the powerhouses of the steppe, the chiefs of the tribes and officers. Every year, they have to enter the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty regularly and go to the school to receive training, in fact, not only the leaders of these two tribes, but also the leaders of some small tribes, also enter the school training in the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The control of the Great Qing Kingdom on the grassland has declined sharply, but there is no good way to do it.

Dolgon, the most courageous in the Great Qing Kingdom, was also silent a lot, and did not take the initiative to mention the conquest, probably understanding that launching a conquest against the Great Jin at this moment was tantamount to suicide.

The most calm Dai Shan and Ji Erharang suggested several times to negotiate with the Great Jin Imperial Court, so that the Great Jin Imperial Court would recognize the existence of the Great Qing Dynasty, open up the mutual market in Liaodong, and the two sides would live in peace.

Huang Taiji and Hao Ge knew very well that the Great Qing Kingdom would face a fight sooner or later, and the intention of the Great Jin Imperial Court was very clear, that is, to first stabilize its own situation, and when the opportunity was ripe, to carry out a devastating blow to the Great Qing Kingdom.

Sooner or later, this day is coming, so the thinking of Huang Taiji and Haoge has slowly changed, and they began to emphasize the importance of army construction, and a large amount of financial resources have been invested in the army, looking forward to the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Han Eight Banners to be more courageous and able to resist the attack of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future.

Su Tiancheng paid attention to Liaodong as well.

The conditions were completely ripe, and the Chinese military minister of the DPRK had repeatedly raised the matter of conquest, especially Lu Xiangsheng, who was also the governor of Liaodong, and even proposed the matter of conquest several times, and even said that within ten days he could take Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou, and arrive at Liaohe, and if the imperial court allowed it, he could lead his troops to Shenyang in one breath and completely occupy Shenyang.

Hong Chengchou has also put forward suggestions many times.

Judging from the current situation, the only direct threat to the Great Jin Dynasty is the Houjin Tartars.

The wealth of the imperial court was enough to support this campaign.

Su Tiancheng also made a decision, but this decision was unexpected by the Minister of Chinese Martial Arts of the DPRK, he wanted to drive the imperial expedition himself, and completely defeat the Houjin Tatar, not only to occupy Shenyang, Tieling and Salhu, but also to completely recover the place occupied by the Houjin Tatar, even if the Houjin Tatar fled to the black water of Beishan, he could not let go.

Su Tiancheng's decision was unanimously opposed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out to practice, and the emperor must sit in the capital.

But Su Tiancheng has made up his mind, and Ji Lu plans to start the personal conquest in June, and use two months to completely exterminate the Houjin Tartars, and the next thing is to recover the entire Mongolian steppe, according to the strength of the Great Jin, it should be able to completely end the battle within the year.

Su Tiancheng said very directly in the court, no matter how the outside evaluates the strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, and no matter how much people worship, but the Great Jin Dynasty has not yet been completely unified, and the Later Jin and Mongolian grasslands have not yet been completely surrendered, which does not mean that the imperial court is strong, such a problem must be solved, no matter how much the price is paid, the land left by the ancestors cannot be less, as the emperor, if he cannot personally recover the land, it is unqualified.

It was Su Tiancheng's words that shocked the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and there was gradually no opposition in the court to the emperor's personal expedition.

The preparation is very simple, the main task of the 100,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Liaodong is to exterminate the Houjin Tartars, their daily training is very hard, and among the 100,000 soldiers, most of them are professional sergeants, and they know their duties.

For the already powerful Great Jin Dynasty, it is a matter of time before the Golden Tartars are conquered, and there is no need to keep them secret, and there is enough confidence from top to bottom, believing that it will not take long to completely exterminate the Later Golden Tartars.

In the restaurants and teahouses in the capital, it also began to be rumored that the imperial court was about to conquer the golden tartars, and even there were special storytellers who thought about the final result, and the imperial court won a complete victory, escorting Huang Taiji and Haoge and others to the capital, and finally was beheaded at the noon gate, and Liaodong will be completely recovered.

This mentality of the people, basically universal, no one thinks that this expedition will encounter the slightest problem, in fact, the imperial court has long been able to conquer the Houjin Tartars, but the emperor avoids more casualties, hoping to defeat the Houjin Tartars in the shortest possible time, completely recover the land of Liaodong, as for Mongolia, since the establishment of Hetao and Urumqi, many people think that the grassland is already the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty, has been completely recovered, the fact is basically the case, in addition to several large tribes in the grassland, The rest of the tribes have long since surrendered. As long as the imperial court completely defeated the Houjin Tatars, the Mongol tribes were not qualified to contend with each other, and they were no match for the Jiangning camp at all.

The news that the imperial court decided to conquer Houjin Tartar and that the emperor was going to drive the expedition quickly spread to Liaodong.

Lu Xiangsheng was very excited, more than three years of preparation, waiting for this day.

The situation in Liaodong has long been stabilized, many of the spies who served the Houjin Tartars in the past have disappeared, and some chose to leave Liaodong and return to Shenyang, or simply entered the mainland, thinking about killing the previous disgraceful history, fortunately, the Great Jin Dynasty did not hold them accountable, these people were able to live in peace, and more spies chose to surrender to the government and confessed everything in the past, and they couldn't imagine that the court would not pursue these things at all.

This has led to the rapid shrinkage of the Houjin intelligence network, and the attitude of the imperial court and the government is a ruthless blow to the Houjin intelligence network, everyone understands it, and these secret agents know that there is no hope for the Houjin, and continuing to rely on the Houjin is not only irresponsible to themselves, but also irresponsible to their families and descendants.

On the contrary, the intelligence network of the Great Jin Dynasty has spread all over the places under the jurisdiction of the Later Jin, and Huang Zaisheng has become the actual person in charge of the intelligence network in the Later Jin, so many years have passed, Huang Zaisheng has provided a lot of information for the imperial court, and from the perspective of security, in the fourth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, Huang Zaisheng left Shenyang and came to the capital, becoming a member of Su Jun's subordinates, and was actually responsible for facing the intelligence network of the Later Jin.

It was not only the common people who provided the Houjin information to the imperial court, but even many officials of the Houjin Dynasty became one of them, especially some Han officials, who thought that they could have a way out in the future, and spared no effort to provide intelligence.
