In the heavily guarded Beiwang Palace in Beijing, facing the transaction and mortgage documents that Zhou Changjun had just signed with North Korea, Prince Wei Zheng's face directly showed a smile from the bottom of his heart. If you have read this chapter, please move to the latest chapter in Chinese reading

Because, as long as these documents are in hand, the Lee Dynasty will continue to control the North Korean regime, and North Korea will undoubtedly be equivalent to a province under the Tiger and Leopard Army.

As long as this situation lasts for ten years, North Korea will be completely controlled by the Tiger and Leopard Army and become a province under the Tiger and Leopard Army, rather than continuing to exist as a vassal state...

At that time, the Tiger and Leopard Army will not only have one more province, but will also have millions of taels of silver every year and increase the mineral deposits in the entire North Korea...

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng was in a good mood and couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Zhou, this time, the Foreign Trade Department has done a good job. He controlled the entire North Korea in disguise through just one transaction. It's very good... I must reward all the foreign trade department officials who participated in the transaction negotiation..."

"I passed on the order of this king, and the royal palace allocated 100,000 taels of silver to everyone... In addition, in the future promotion of officials, these officials have priority..."

The words of Prince Wei Zheng mean that these officials are not far away from being improved.

In addition, the Foreign Trade Department has always been its own private land, and the officials inside are all their confidants... If they can go further in the officialdom and gain greater power, it means that their faction's strength and status in the Tiger and Leopard Army will be further expanded..."

Thinking of this, Zhou Changjun quickly looked around with envious and jealous eyes and replied loudly: "Prince Xie... I represent those officials. Prince Xie rewards and cultivates them... I believe that after these officials know that Prince Xie will definitely be more loyal to the prince and do their best to do their best..."

Wei Zheng waved his hand and replied: "Okay, don't say much about these nonsense... Although it is a very happy thing to take down North Korea... But in the whole thing, there are also things that make me unhappy..."

Due to Wei Zheng's repeated attacks, Zhou Shuyuan, who was silent for a long time, seemed to have thought of something?

His eyes lit up and he replied to Wei Zheng: "Prince, you are the Tartars in the north..."

After being affirmed by Wei Zheng, Zhou Shuyuan's thoughts immediately became active...

Wei Zheng was dissatisfied with the Later Jin Tartars in the north. With Wei Zheng's character, it directly meant that Wei Zheng planned to send troops to the Later Jin Dynasty.

In this way, various battles will erupt on the land of Later Jin outside the pass.

Having combat means military achievements... And in the Tiger and Leopard Army, having military achievements means promotion and reward.

Although I have been silent a lot during this period, I no longer take the initiative to extend my tentacles to the army.

However, there are many officers of the Tiger and Leopard Army who find themselves directly and want to use themselves as their backing. They are promoted and made a fortune in the Tiger and Leopard Army...

And these officers from the Tiger and Leopard Army, without exception, were all the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army just formed by Wei Zheng.

As an army that has been completely reorganized by the imperial border army, those who can enter the Tiger and Leopard Army and continue to serve as officers are all people with real skills.

However, the experience of being an official and a general in the court army for a long time also led them to bring some bad habits into the Tiger and Leopard Army.

In the imperial army, if you have no backer, not to mention that your military achievements cannot be recognized by the superiors, you cannot be promoted because of your military achievements. Even if you don’t get the full amount of money for your soldiers every month…

If you cannot pay enough money to your soldiers, how can your soldiers be willing to work for you...

Therefore, among the border troops of the imperial court, except for so few officers, others, more or less, all have backers...

Now, joining the Tiger and Leopard Army, who are already accustomed to the court army's style, although they are full of shock at the various military rules of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

However, in the eyes of these officers, no matter how strict the military rules are, they are not as good as a capable backstage...

Therefore, the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army had just been formed, and the officers in the army were moving in Beijing, looking for a backstage that could support themselves...

Although there are several factions in the Northern Palace, the faction where Zhou Shuyuan is located is the faction where he can really get along with the army and has power.

In addition, Zhou Shuyuan has the strength in the Tiger and Leopard Army, and is still the well-deserved boss among several major factions.

Therefore, these officers, basically no exception, found Zhou Shuyuan.

Zhou Shuyuan is at the trough of life, so of course he will not let go of the benefits of delivering to his door.

Without thinking, I accepted the surrender of these people.

Of course, if these people really want to truly belong to themselves, it is impossible to do so with just one word or one's own status.

If these officers who surrender to themselves fail to gain any benefits from themselves, they will at most nominally surrender to themselves.

As a soldier and as an officer, there is only one thing that is the biggest and most touching of them, that is promotion.

However, in the Tiger and Leopard Army, even if Zhou Shuyuan has a high status, even surpassing Sun Chengzong, it is impossible to be promoted to the rank of an officer without military merit.

And in front of me, an opportunity happened to be in front of me...

He sent troops to the Later Jin Dynasty and made some military achievements on the battlefield of the Later Jin Dynasty.

At that time, as long as you have real military achievements and your own activities, you will definitely have no problem in promoting the ranks of these soldiers...

Thinking of this, Zhou Shuyuan had already made a secret decision in his heart that he would let the Fifth Army send troops to the Later Jin Dynasty no matter what...

So, after a brief contemplation, Zhou Shuyuan said without thinking: "Prince, the Tartars in the north are indeed hateful... If General Chen, who was left behind in North Korea, had he made a decision to destroy thousands of Later Jin Tartars who invaded North Korea, North Korea would never have fallen into our Tiger and Leopard Army so quickly... "In addition, the Tartars have always been the mortal enemy of our Tiger and Leopard Army, we should also teach them a lesson to them in the north to taste..."

At this time, Luo Yangxing, who rarely speaks in this situation, suddenly spoke and said...

"Prince, I'm talking about the Tartars in the north, I have some things to report here..."

"According to the report of the secret spies who infiltrated the Later Jin Dynasty... Since the Later Jin Dynasty was blocked by our Tiger and Leopard Army, and the smuggling group that supplemented the Later Jin Dynasty was destroyed, many of the Later Jin Dynasty's supplies have lost their sources and become in short supply!"

"The most scarce among them is sea salt. The reason why Huang Taiji of the Later Jin sent troops to North Korea was for sea salt... So far, a salt waste has broken out in the Later Jin territory. If nothing unexpected happens, within the next month, the Later Jin, which has no way to solve the problem of sea salt, will also have a larger salt waste..."
