Chapter 450: Huang Taiji's Worries

Of course, Wei Zheng will only snicker in his heart about these things, and will not say it.

After a short period of contemplation, Wei Zheng, who had already obtained the result he wanted, continued to ask: "The benefits that the imperial court gave to Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai is next...... In a good sentence, there is no such thing as a free lunch at any time. Let's talk about it, what is there in the court that you want Ben Shuai to help with? As long as Ben Shuai can do it, Ben Shuai will do it......"

Wang Zhongying did not let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly replied: "Wei Dashuai, according to the last negotiation between us, after three months, the Shanxi Governor's Mansion should pay a year's tax to the imperial court...... The imperial court hoped that the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi would pay these taxes in advance. Of course, if there is no silver in the Governor's Mansion of Shanxi, it is okay to replace it with grain......"

"As far as this official knows, because the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi have vigorously promoted water conservancy, both Mintian and Tuntian have obtained an unprecedented bumper harvest. This official believes that Wei Dashuai will definitely understand the difficulties of the imperial court and help the imperial court overcome this difficult situation in front of him......"

Three million taels of silver, according to the current grain price in the capital, is 600,000 quintals of grain......

For Wei Zheng, who had obtained an unprecedented harvest and held millions of loads of grain in his hands, these soldiers were indeed nothing. However, Wei Zheng did not intend to be so cheap to the imperial court.

After thinking about it, he replied to Wang Zhongying: "Three million taels of silver, according to the market price, all converted into grain, is 600,000 quintals...... These grains can be easily taken out, or they can be given to the imperial court immediately......"

When Wei Zheng said this, a heartfelt smile had already appeared on Wang Zhongying's face.

However, Wei Zheng's next sentence. Directly made him smile that had just appeared on his face. Instantly solidified.

"But. The imperial court must make up for the loss caused by the marshal paying taxes three months in advance......"

"Loss ......" Wang Zhongying, whose face instantly froze, asked rhetorically with a puzzled face.

Wei Zheng's face was not red, and his heart did not beat and affirmed: "Yes, it is a loss......"

"Three million taels, but that's a lot of money...... If Ben Shuai was a businessman, he could turn three million taels into four million taels within three months. But. For the sake of the imperial court helping Ben Shuai sell refined salt and glass, Ben Shuai doesn't want so much compensation. However, not at all, it is not the character of this handsome. ”

"Therefore, as long as the court is willing, Ben Shuai can hand over these grains. However, these grains are not 600,000 quintals, but 500,000 quintals...... Lord Wang, please think about this mention of this handsome ......"

Wang Zhongying, who knew the predicament of the imperial court, was very sad about the loss of 100,000 quintals of grain in vain. However, he was still ruthless. Answer loudly: "Yes, but." This official hopes to return to Beijing with this batch of grain......"

When Wei Zheng, the governor of Shanxi, the orthodox Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, began to carry out the second cooperation.

The secret agreement between the imperial court and the Shanxi Governor's Mansion was also passed through the ubiquitous intelligence agents of the Houjin and reached the ears of the Houjin Taiji.

When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Later Jin Dynasty learned that in the next few months, the Liaodong Peninsula, which had been regarded as a bag by the Later Jin, was going to be handed over to the Tiger and Leopard Army by the Ming Dynasty, the entire Later Jin Dynasty bombed the camp.

Although most of these civil and military ministers have not really seen the Haw Par Army and the strong combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army. However, can the army that can drive the Golden Tiger to the brink again and again, and kill him on the battlefield, can it be an army with low combat effectiveness? The answer is obvious......

Therefore, since the news of Houjindorgon's defeat at the hands of the Haw Par Army and his death on the battlefield reached Houjin. Every civil and military minister of the Later Jin court had a deep fear of the powerful Tiger and Leopard Army......

The only thing that made Houjin Wenwu feel fortunate was that the Haw Par Army did not really border with Houjin land. No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army is, it is impossible to threaten the safety of Houjin in a short period of time.

Then Jin can use this time to train a firearms unit with a combat effectiveness no less than that of the Haw Par Army. In addition, the Houjin Iron Cavalry can also take advantage of this time to continue to invade the Ming Dynasty in the south, and loot all kinds of strategic materials and food urgently needed by the Houjin in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so as to enhance the strength of the Houjin.

However, the Liaodong Peninsula, which borders the Houjin and is flanked by the Houjin, will change dramatically once it is controlled by the powerful Houjin......

First of all, as long as the Liaodong Peninsula, which has been regarded as a bag by the Houjin, is occupied by the Haw Par Army, the Houjin Army has no way to obtain the control of the Liaodong Peninsula from the hands of the Haw Par Army so easily.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

Once the Liaodong Peninsula was controlled by the Haw Par Army, the Haw Par Army, which was strong in combat, could send troops from the flank to attack the hinterland of the Houjin and threaten the Houjin's rule over the entire Guanwai......

Under such circumstances, in order to ensure the safety of Houjin itself, Houjin had to draw a main force from the limited force to guard against the Haw Par Army.

More importantly, there is a strong fighting force of the Haw Par Army that threatens the security of the Houjin flank at any time. In the future, Houjin will have no way to concentrate the entire national strength of Houjin and launch a large-scale attack on Daming wholeheartedly......

Therefore, after figuring out this qiē, it is rare for the ministers of civil and military affairs of Houjin to form a unified opinion on one matter.

Before the Tiger and Leopard Army took over the Liaodong Peninsula from the Ming Dynasty. Houjin immediately gathered heavy troops and took the Liaodong Peninsula with lightning speed. In this way, the Tiger and Leopard Army was prevented from entering Liaodong and threatening the Houjin mainland.

As a result, Guanwai, which had just been calm for less than a year, became tense again with the transfer of a large number of troops.

With countless war horses, all the combat supplies relied on the Houjin Iron Cavalry captured on the battlefield, and it only took two days to assemble two flags, a total of 20,000 Houjin Iron Cavalry, 20,000 infantry troops, and pressed towards the Liaodong Peninsula.

Of course, if it was just these foot cavalry, the 50,000 officers and soldiers defending Liaodong, with the help of the city walls and firearms, would hold on for a few months, and there would be absolutely no problem

However, after seeing the sharpness of the tiger and leopard weapons on the battlefield of Zunhua, and looting thousands of craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty, today's Houjin army, although there is no change on the surface. However, each of the eight flags of the Houjin was armed with fifty guns of different calibers......

If used for engineering, these artillery pieces have far surpassed the Ming border army even on local battlefields. (To be continued......)
