Chapter 285 Ambition is built up step by step(1/2)

Chen Chong didn't think He Jinchao's words were in vain.

What He Jinchao said was worth the goods he sent to him, even far exceeding the value of these goods.

If the Hammer Bandits continue to grow bigger, they will come to deliver things and take their boats in the future.

The meaning is different!

In fact, He Jinchao is also exaggerating!

Huang Taiji, at least now, has no intention of replacing the Ming Dynasty. He has always wanted to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty could fail several times, but as long as Huang Taiji failed once when entering the barrier, the Later Jin Dynasty would have to be slowed down for a long time.

After all, the geopolitical environment of the Later Jin Dynasty led by Huang Taiji was very harsh.

His southwest is the number one mortal enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy the Later Jin and recover lost territory, he simply disagreed with peace talks.

To the east is the Joseon Dynasty, a loyal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Korean army surrendered in the Battle of Sarhu.

The strategy of attacking the East-West Jin was gone, and Mao Wenlong was dead, so no one would stab him in the chrysanthemum.

Although Mao Wenlong is just a messing stick, this stick is still useful.

In the north of the Later Jin Dynasty, from north of the Songhua River to the Heilongjiang River Basin, were the tribes of the savage Jurchens.

Although they belong to the Jurchen tribe and their language customs are very similar, they were not conquered by the Later Jin Dynasty. Wild Jurchens and the Later Jin Dynasty had friction from time to time.

To the west is the most powerful tribe in Mongolia, and Lin Dankhan is also a descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family, and he looks down on the Later Jin Dynasty, which only has 30,000 Jurchens.

The Mongolians and Jurchens have always lived in the northeast, with Mongolia to the west of the wall and Jurchens to the east. The two sides have been dating and intermarried for a long time and have a very close relationship.

Mongolia has been divided into three parts: the desert Gobi is bounded by the border, the north is the northern Mongolian Khalkha, the south is the southern Mongolian (where Lin Dankhan is located), and the west is the western Mongolian.

Although Lin Dankhan claimed to be the Great Khan of all Mongolia, the northern Mongolian and western Mongolia did not obey their orders at all.

Mongolia in the south of the desert is not a monolithic part, and Lin Danhan can only control the Chahar tribe.

The Mongolian tribes near the east were all divided by the Later Jin Dynasty and attracted them.

Mongolia has been united in the princes for many years and is unwilling to unify them and weaken their power.

Lin Danhan was just a verbal king. He had almost never won a single battle in the battle with the Later Jin Dynasty. Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity to annex the Mongolian tribes that were broken by the Later Jin Dynasty.

This move was naturally even more unpopular, and they all left him and threw themselves into the arms of the Later Jin Dynasty.

So over the years, Huang Taiji has been fighting and found that the forces around him are all waste.

Then he was born to enter the Central Plains and replace the Ming Dynasty's thoughts.

Chen Chong was obviously scared about He Jinchao's alarmist statements.

Because Huang Taiji detoured through Mongolia and entered the capital and raging for several months, he really scared these nobles in the capital.

This is their property, and ordinary people can't afford to buy land near Gyeonggi, etc.

He Jinchao put away the booklet and thought about it:

"Since Brother Chen insists on sponsoring me, I can't refuse."

Hearing this, Chen Chong finally breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that He Jinchao would not agree.

He laughed twice:

"Thank you, brother He, for understanding. In fact, I expected that when I returned this time, I would inevitably be blocked by Hong Chengchou.

Instead of being robbed by him, it would be better to sponsor my good brother."

"Have Hong Chengchou been so bold and reckless?"

He Jinchao said that the banner of Ningyang Hou was not good, and he was considered a famous noble in the northwest.

And if he can be stable for such a long time, the interests of the tea and horse market will definitely be more than him.

"This person does not follow the rules, and he is really reading the books of sages." Chen Chong cursed:

"And he has been practicing Hong Bing under his command. It was heard from the capital that this person is Jian Zai Di Xin again, which is difficult to deal with, and it is very likely that he will replace Yang He.

Let us make good friends with him and do not go against him, so as not to be targeted in the future.”

In the future, Hong Chengchou will become the governor of the three sides. If he is in the capital, he will be restrained, but if he is far away from the sky, wouldn’t he let him perform?

Now the Shaanxi main suppression faction is led by him and has begun to undermine Yang He.

"Can the Marquis of Ningyang find a way to transfer Hong Chengchou away? Now the court is employed."

"I used it, so I made the money go high, but my mother spent money in vain.

In the view of the emperor, Hong Chengchou still needs to be trained in the local area for a few years before he can be transferred back to the capital for appointment.

For someone like this who is simple in the heart of the emperor, the more you spend money, the more he will have a status in the emperor's heart. He thinks that this kind of non-group formation is a useful person."

Chen Chong's meaning is very simple, he wants to spend money to transfer Hong Chengchou from Shaanxi.

That was simply a foolish dream. I tried my best, but the decision was in the hands of Chongzhen.

He Jinchao thought for a while: "When it comes to Hong Chengchou, does Brother Chen need my help?"

Although I have controlled the mutual trading points, it will be a problem once Shanxi merchants want to unite.

With the support of Ningyang Hou's caravan, walking on both legs is finally more secure.

Besides, the cargo that I need is all placed here.

"Brother He, please help me write a letter to Yang He, the governor of the Three-Border."

Hearing Chen Chong's words, He Jinchao looked puzzled: "What am I writing to Yang He?"

"Tell him that you miss him. Now that you control the Yellow River Ferry, Hequ, and want to go back to your hometown to have a look. I hope you can allow it."

"Not?"

"No need to say anything else, I'll go to deliver the letter in person." Chen Chong smiled indifferently.

When he was in Ganquan County, He Huchen thought Chen Chong was using the tiger skin of Ningyang Hou.

Chen Chong thought He Jinchao was using He Huchen's tiger skin.

As a result, both sides were He Jinchao, pulling the tiger skins of both sides and doing business with them separately.

The situation in Shaanxi is taking a sharp turn, and He Jinchao has gained a foothold in Shanxi, and Chen Chong, a clan of the Ningyang Marquis, now has to use He Jinchao's tiger skin to do things.

Chen Chong no longer felt that He Jinchao would become the second Liaodong warlord, but a team that could conquer the world.

Especially the group of hammer bandits in He Jinchao is very different from the other rebels.

The rebels only knew how to plunder and flew around like locusts, and wherever there was food.

Unlike He Jinchao, he also needs to manage the local area and maintain his foundation.

Such aliens in the rebel army have combat power, so they must lend a helping hand early, and the rare goods are accustomed to living.

He Jinchao couldn't help laughing out loud: "Can my letter work?"

"Anyway, Yang He is still the governor of the three sides." Chen Chong stood up, walked to the roasted lamb, and turned one or two:

"Only civil servants deal with civil servants and they fight each other, we have room for operation."

"Since that's the case, I'll write a letter for Brother Chen."

He Jinchao took the knife and began to divide the meat.

The two of them started to eat roast lamb with a smile.

Chen Chong ate the meat in his mouth and remembered the saying, "If the country is about to die, disaster will happen."

In addition, in recent years, the temperature in the entire Ming Dynasty has dropped sharply.

It snows heavily in the Pearl River in the south, and the Yangtze River Taihu Lake is frozen and thick, so cars and horses can walk on it.

There is rainy in the south and drought in the north.

Since the first year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi has been drought year after year, with thousands of miles of naked land and gradually spread to the entire Yellow River Basin.

In order to escape the heavy taxes and service that were added to the layers, the victims abandoned the land and became refugees. They had to take risks when they could not make a living.

Chen Chong was stubbornly biting the mutton. During the Tianqi period, when Wei Zhongxian controlled the government, the Shaanxi border troops owed very serious wages.

By the first year of Chongzhen, he still owed 1.38 million taels.

But the court had no money, and in the second year of Chongzhen, the redundant soldiers from the post station began to be abolished.

The postmen who were laid off, deserters who were owed pay, and refugees, and hungry people merged.

Chen Chong glanced at He Jinchao who was feasting next to him, and this is how he started his business.

Now that we are getting bigger and bigger, we will kill the deputy general of Shanxi Town directly!

In order to help He Jinchao stabilize the trading point and trade with more Mongolians in order to make a comeback.

After the two of them finished roasted lamb, Chen Chong said goodbye and said he wanted to go around.

He Jinchao sent two local officials to follow him as his guide.
