Chapter 491: A high chess move

Sure enough, Chen Biexue pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between Jiang Haotian and Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye did not disappoint him: "General Jiang, we have caught a big fish this time. I walked around Jin Baiwan's horse farm, and I have gained a lot!"

Jiang Haotian immediately understood that what could make Xiao Ye so excited must be extraordinary, and that would definitely be a shocking harvest: "What? Who is there in the horse farm!"

"There is actually a Jurchen hidden in the horse farm. I didn't show up normally. This time I broke in and caught me!" Xiao Ye said without hesitation: "And there are more than one, and what's even more exaggerated is that I smell the scent of sulfur inside."

"Sulphur?" Chen Biexue interrupted and asked: "What's the reason why Jin Baiwan hides sulfur in the horse farm?"

Jiang Haotian understood the first time: "Of course, hiding sulfur is to set fire. This boss Jin Baiwan Jin really has a big problem!"

Chen Biexue also understood, and he slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, harsh things should be hidden, and I always think that Jin Baiwan is unreliable!"

No one in the Longkou system likes Jin Baiwan. He thinks that this is a standard profiteer, and he is a profiteer among the profiteer. He doesn’t know how much losses he suffered during the dealings between Longkou and Jin Baiwan. Fortunately, Mr. Liu is a truly open-minded gentleman who can tolerate villains like Jin Baiwan.

If Chen Biexue was the leader of the family, he would have dealt with Jin Baiwan long ago, and Jiang Haotian was also glad: "I didn't expect that this old thief Jin was so brave. Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise we would have big trouble this time."

Longkou was originally a wasteland, not even a small fishing village, with almost no plans, and there were random construction everywhere. Although Demons had a relatively formal plan after coming, although the planning was on track, there were still many irregular places in the actual construction, not to mention that there were shops, houses, and warehouses with grass and wood structures everywhere. As long as they were fired together, half of the street could be burned.

What's more, Jin Baiwan is prepared. Even if half of the dragon mouth is not burned, hundreds or dozens of people will be burned and countless wealth will be burned. Therefore, when Jiang Haotian thought of this, he felt that Jin Baiwan was indeed extremely vicious. He kept saying: "Mr. Xiao, it depends on you today. Don't worry, what kind of people need to be mobilized, you can let go!"

For Jiang Haotian, he can now be called full authorization, but Xiao Ye said very seriously: "I want to see Mrs. Jiang!"

Now there are not many people in Longkou who know that Jiang Qingyue returns to Longkou, but for Xiao Ye, who is in charge of intelligence investigation, he has few secrets he doesn't know. Jiang Haotian becomes nervous: "Is the situation really that serious?"

"Yes, it's even more serious than we imagined!" Xiao Ye replied: "You should know that there are more than 30 people living in Jin Baiwan's horse farm, and a large number of horses have been transported from Liaodong these days. Therefore, there are at least fifty people in his horse farm, and the Chinese New Year will be held in a few days!"

As soon as the New Year was mentioned, Jiang Haotian understood. He was about to speak, but someone there was already saying in the first place: "Tell me about the horse farm, but I don't understand. In broad daylight, Jin Baiwan used some tricks to hide so many arson things in their horse farm!"

Xiao Ye was shocked when he heard this voice. He only knew that in order to solve the problem of Jin Baiwan, Jiang Qingyue rushed back from Donglianghaikou in person, but he did not expect that Liu Peng, who should have been waiting for the office documents in Donglianghaikou, also rushed back to Longkou.

But this alone can tell how much Liu Peng attaches importance to this matter, and Liu Peng’s question makes sense.

Although Longkou is a new port and its management is relatively loose, flammable materials such as sulfur and tincture oil are definitely the key management in key management. Liu Peng does not think that the Longkou Guard is so relaxed.

However, Jiang Haotian answered this question on behalf of Xiao Ye: "This is not simple. It must be an ant moving. After all, he has been in our Longkou for so long, and it is not surprising that he occasionally carries some prohibited materials!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Haotian suddenly remembered again: "He was originally a smuggling banned materials and transported gunpowder, sulfur and armor to Liaodong a lot. It seems that he is working hard for the old slave!"

Liu Peng nodded, and told Jiang Haotian and Xiao Ye: "I have also asked Tong Guoyong and Qu Zengren, the rich merchants from Liaodong. They all said that although Jin Baiwan was launched by Jin to Denglai, the person who promoted this was Tong Yangxing from the Tong family in Liaodong."

In fact, when Tong Guoyong said Tong Yangxing's name, Liu Peng, he already understood that Tong Yangxing was a big figure in the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but at this time, the Tong family in Liaodong was actually in a split state.

Although the Tong family in Liaodong was once prominent for a lifetime and even had a great figure like the Jinshi Juren, many members of this sinicized Jurchen family, including Tong Yangxing, have completely defected to the Jianzhou Jurchens. However, many Tong clan members, including Tong Guoyong, are still hesitant between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty.

As for the Tong clans who firmly stood on the Ming Dynasty, there were still some, but they could only be said to be very few. In another time and space, when the trade between Liaomi and Denglai was completely failed, the entire Liaodong Tong family turned completely to the Jianzhou Jurchens, playing a key role in the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In fact, even Tong Yangxing, who promoted this rice transport operation, did not expect that he would achieve such amazing results. It turned out that he used this rice transport action to help Jianzhou Jurchens get a combat fund, but it almost played a role in winning a fortune of 400 yuan.

Liao Shang transported rice to Denglai to rescue disasters, but in the end it was difficult for itself to protect itself and suffered unprecedented economic losses, which made Liaodong merchants completely disappointed with the Ming Dynasty and turned to the Later Jin Dynasty.

Tao Lang first wrote a presentation in another time and space vividly describing the embarrassing situation of the Liao Shang: "The Liao Shang stored grain and climbed the city, and it took a long time to redeem the red and rotten land. He wanted to return to his hometown, but the sea ban was then led to his back. The first thing he wanted to do was to save the desert was to save himself. So there were like Tong Guoyong, Sha Lu, Kuang Ting Zu, who were willing to abandon grain and return, such as Ding Houjia, Fang Mao, and Li Dawu, who were unable to leave, and were unable to leave, and he cried and controlled his duties every day. There were dozens of people who were a day..."

However, in this time and space, although the Liao Shangshu also suffered significant economic losses, Liu Peng's emergence made them find that there was still a last glimmer of hope. Therefore, they couldn't wait to cooperate with Liu Peng and even sold all the details of Jin Baiwan.

This Jin Baiwan and the Tong family in Liaodong were both sinicized Jurchens. However, after the rise of Jianzhou, they defected to Nurhaci and became Nurhaci's lackey. He had previously run between Denglai and Liaodong, just to plan the world for Nurhaci.

He is simply a great businessman in the Jianzhou Jurchens. Although he is not very reliable and rough on the surface, he is actually a real smart person. This time he went south to transport rice in Lai to transport rice in a south, Liu Peng said: "No matter how successful or failure of transport rice this time, I have already beaten me with one move!"

Although Xiao Ye was born in the Jinyiwei, he did not have a deep understanding of the overall situation of the world: "As long as we take down Jin Million now, we can get at least more than 100 horses and several thousand stones of rice. How can we say that the old slave defeated Mr. Liu!"

But Liu Peng told Xiao Ye: "It's true that I'm a better move from my old slave. I have little capital. I can't handle this move at all."

Since Chen Biexue is the chief agricultural and forestry manager, he is naturally very proficient in his own business. He immediately showed off in front of Liu Peng: "Liaodong is short of rice, and a bowl of rice is only one ounce in normal years, and the rice beans transported to Denglai now are more than one million stones."

The most critical issue in Liaodong is not just a military issue, but an agricultural issue, or the financial issue behind the agricultural issue. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the food and wages in the border town were a major problem that the Ming Dynasty always solved. Or the astonishing expenditure of food and wages in the border town made all efforts of the Ming Dynasty useless.

Liaodong was originally an extremely short of rice. The rice price in normal years reached the level of one stone of rice and one tael of silver. This year, Liaodong merchants including Tong Guoyong transported millions of stones of rice and beans from Liaodong, which greatly exacerbated the grain shortage in Liaodong.

Now the rice price in Liaodong is soaring like a rope that has broken away, and has even risen to a sky-high price of one, two, five or six cents. And it depends on the situation that it will continue to soar after the New Year.

Such an amazing food shortage made all large-scale combat operations extremely difficult. Liu Peng said: "It seems that there is only one possibility for me to take this move!"

Xiao Ye expressed his humility in front of Liu Peng: "What is possible?"

Liu Peng immediately replied: "Create a country and call him Khan!"

Although Nurhaci has almost unified the entire Jurchen tribes, with hundreds of thousands of people, he has long been "like an enemy country", and his name has changed from "Congrui Beile" to "the lord of Jianzhou Wei, the Jianzhou Wei, and other places", and even the Khalkha Mongol gave him the title of "Kundulun Khan", he was still the second-rank commander of the Jianzhou Wei commander of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty still regards Nurhaci as a member of the Ming Dynasty's irresponsible rule, and even appointed Nurhaci as the general of Dragon and Tiger. The Governor of Ji Liao also said this year that Nurhaci "followed the orders" to the court.

At this time, Nurhaci's establishment of the country and proclaimed Khan would definitely catch the Ming Dynasty off guard, and would not let the entire Liaodong be in a comprehensive food shortage. Even if he was willing to fight Nurhaci, he would be powerless.

Xiao Ye immediately understood: "The country was established and called Khan. For these Tartars, it was almost the same as calling Khan. We are the Central Plains and the emperor. I am afraid that the Northern Yi will go to join the old slaves one after another, and there will be more trouble in the north!"
