"Hong is trying to ask whether the tiger-shaped flag can prevent the slave thieves from entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty, even for the innocent people." Hong Chengchou said in a low tone.

Although I knew in my heart that it would be beneficial for the tiger flag to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I felt a little reluctant to think that the sins committed by the slave thief in Liaodong would be staged elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty.

"I don't know." Liu Heng answered him.

"Hong believes that as long as the lord is willing, the tiger flag will definitely prevent the slave thieves from entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Even if it cannot be stopped, it can reduce the harm of slave thieves to the people of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible." Hong Chengchou looked at Liu Heng expectantly.

The strength of the Tiger Flag Army is obviously stronger than that of the Ming army. He believes that as long as the Tiger Flag is willing to dispatch a large army, it may really be able to compete with the slave thieves.

"Have Mr. Hong ever thought that once the tiger flag really sends troops, let alone whether the imperial court will misunderstand. Even if it really blocks the army of slave thieves, it will be like this to lose troops and lose generals to do this.

What's the benefit?" Liu Heng asked him back.

At the same time, he also wondered why Hong Chengchou, who should have become a traitor and an executioner, became so compassionate after joining the tiger flag.

If he hadn't known about Hong Chengchou in history, he would have almost thought that Hong Chengchou in front of him was fake.

"Yes! This is not good for the tiger-shaped flag at all." Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly, and then he realized that he was no longer a minister of the Ming Dynasty, but a thief in the court's words.

Liu Heng looked at Hong Chengchou's indifference and couldn't help but comfort him: "If a slave thief wants to bypass Shanhaiguan, he needs to deal with the Chahar tribe. It takes time in the middle, and maybe he will look the same again in the future."

"If the garrison guarding the border areas were all soldiers with the tiger flag, I think slave thieves would not have the chance to break through the barrier and enter the Ming Dynasty." Hong Chengchou said firmly.

The army of Tiger Flag won consecutive battles in front of the Ming army, and had confirmed its strength. Even if it was not as good as the army of slave thieves, it would not be much worse. With the benefit of defending the city, he believed that it would be difficult for slave thieves to break through the garrison of Tiger Flag.

pass.

If the army with the tiger flag is not even as good as the Ming army, he would not surrender to the tiger flag.

Liu Heng smiled and said, "Mr. Hong is hoping that I will take down important towns in the nine borders. Even if I have this heart, it will be difficult to swallow the tiger-shaped flag in one bite."

The tiger flag was not even taken down in the entire Shaanxi territory, and there was no strength to develop in the direction of Ji Liao.

"The lord misunderstood. Hong didn't mean this. And if the lord really wanted to do this, Hong, as an adviser, would also stop the lord from doing this." Hong Chengchou said, "Once the tiger flag takes down the nine-sided towns, it is equivalent to

If you block the three forces, you need to face the pseudo-Jin, Ming, Mongolia, these three forces will not be worth the money."

Hong Chengchou, who calmed down, regained his shrewdness.

Liu Heng nodded and said, "Mr. Hong said it is right. The strongest person at the moment is still the Ming Dynasty. The tiger flag will not do such thankless things."

"So the lord should not send a fleet to occupy Pi Island. Doing so will only provoke the Ming Dynasty and the pseudo-jin at the same time." Hong Chengchou's topic turned to Pi Island.

Liu Heng said: "The tiger flag in Pi Island must be occupied. Next, the tiger flag will expand its power in Pi Island, and slowly snatch the place that was thrown away by Dongjiang Town."

"Master, can you tell Hong why you must take down the island of Pi Island?" Hong Chengchou asked in confusion.

The Ming Dynasty relied on Pidao to establish Dongjiang Town to threaten the rear of the pseudo-jin. The Tiger Banner's sphere of influence was not in Liaodong. In his opinion, it was completely unnecessary for the Tiger Banner to consume manpower and material resources to take down Pidao.

"Mu." Liu Heng said two words lightly.

Hearing these two words, Hong Chengchou was stunned at first, and soon reacted, saying, "What is the lord who means is that you need big wood to build a ship?"

Liu Heng nodded.

Shipbuilding requires big wood, and the one that Liaodong lacks the least is Laolin, which is full of good materials for shipbuilding.

"Can't shipbuilding wood be bought through Dongjiang Town? Although it costs some money, it can be safe and you don't need to face pseudo-gold directly." Hong Chengchou said.

He had long heard that the tiger flag, which started with a business, had a sea of ​​gold and silver. When he thought, it was completely a waste of money to buy big wood.

There is no need to take risks to match pseudo-money.

"Dongjiang Town has stopped selling big wood to the tiger-shaped flag six months ago." Liu Heng said calmly.

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "Although the relationship between the tiger flag and the Ming Dynasty has long been bad, Mao Wenlong should not have left money without making any money. Liaodong does not lack big trees at all, it is enough to just send someone to cut down.

Now.”

"The tiger flag also has its own rivals at sea. In order to ensure the strength at sea, I have been insisting on building ships and have a constant demand for big wood. Therefore, the tiger flag must have its own big wood source." Liu Heng said.

Hong Chengchou hesitated and said, "What if he cooperates with the pseudo-jin?"

Without Dongjiang Town, there is also fake gold that can be used to get big wood.

In his opinion, the pseudo-gold and the tiger-like flag were both rebels of the Ming Dynasty and naturally had the conditions for cooperation.

"Cooperation with pseudo-jin is equivalent to pinching the lifeblood of the sea in the hands of the other party, and the tiger-shaped flag will sooner or later face the pseudo-jin. Cooperation with the other party is no different from investing in the enemy." Liu Heng explained, and then said, "And pseudo-jin is also a pseudo-jin."

Jin Yibeile died at the hands of the tiger flag, and the two sides had broken the possibility of cooperation."

Hong Chengchou looked at Liu Heng.

I once again felt Liu Heng’s ambition.

At present, the tiger flag is not bordering the pseudo-gold, but it has begun to guard against pseudo-gold, which shows that Liu Heng's ambition is not limited to becoming a vassal king in the same place.

"A Beile died, and there is no room for rebellion between the tiger flag and the pseudo-gold. What should I do if a pseudo-gold sends a large army to attack Pi Island in order to avenge? Pi Island is just a small island, and it is difficult to send too much

Many soldiers were stationed." Hong Chengchou was worried about the tiger-shaped flag soldiers stationed on Qipi Island.

Although he had not led his troops to fight with the slave thieves, he had learned a lot from other channels that the slave thieves were powerful. Otherwise, the Ming army would not have been defeated step by step, losing most of Liaodong, and in the end he could only rely on Shanhaiguan.

The risk limit is barely self-protection.

Liu Heng chuckled and said, "Mr. Hong, don't worry, the warship with the tiger flag is different from the warship of the Ming Navy. It is not only huge in size, but also has more cannons on the ship. With the little power of the pseudo-gold naval forces, it is far from enough.

To break through the blockade of our warships on the sea.”

As long as Zheng Tie and others did not learn from the main generals of the Ming Army Navy on Juehua Island, he believed that the pseudo-jin could not conquer Pi Island.

Zheng Tie and his team, who have the benefits of warships, are not even inferior to Mao Wenlong.

"The lord is so confident. I think the guards on Pi Island will be able to defend Pi Island." Hong Chengchou praised, and then changed his mind and said, "Pi Island is far overseas. If you want to defend Pi Island, you must solve the problem first.

It's the food and grass problem on the island."
