When Zhao Zhenchang heard that he had been to the place in Houjin and had dealt with people from Houjin. So King Charlie became interested immediately. After all, his highness went to the Ming Dynasty. If it was a whim, there was a high possibility that he would take his men to Liaodong for a walk.

Although King Charlie and Zhao Hongyu have never had any contact, he has pointed out that he is a person of his own, and he has heard from others about his character about his highness. Therefore, King Charlie has such an inference.

What's more, after Jiuzhou fell into the control of the empire, the top management of the Umbrella and the Intelligence Department had issued orders to allow the Intelligence Department and the Umbrella department stationed in Jiuzhou to obtain some information from the Later Jin and Goryeo, as well as other Eastern countries as possible.

Therefore, when King Charlie heard Zhao Zhenchang say this, how could he miss such an opportunity?

You should know that Nagasaki is still under construction and development, and for a long time, they have no way to go to Houjin or Goryeo.

Therefore, obtaining information through maritime merchants has become an option.

Of course, when Kim Yongtai and the others left, King Charlie would send some people to follow them to Goryeo. The external saying was to train Goryeo guys, but the real function of these people was to obtain intelligence.

In fact, to some extent, the umbrella company and the intelligence department are connected, and some personnel within the company also have the identities of the intelligence department.

It was as if King Charlie himself was also a member of the intelligence.

Using the identity of a merchant as a cover is actually a thing of spy. In fact, it is not uncommon in another time and space Republic of China. Even this approach is common in another time and space ancient times.

It’s like in this era. Some spies from the Later Jin Dynasty often dressed up as merchants from Liaodong and took caravans to various important towns in Liaodong to spy on intelligence.

It can be said that such an identity and method is an extremely common thing.

However, what King Charlie and the others showed was not like intelligence personnel at all, so Kim Yong-tae and the others did not think about this at all.

Because although they didn't have much contact with King Charlie, King Charlie gave them a very philanthropic feeling, completely like a real businessman.

"This guy Zhao Zhenchang has been to Liaodong and has some knowledge of their ease. So should I send more personnel to follow him to Goryeo under the pretext of training his guy, and then go to Liaodong?"

King Charlie thought to himself.

The Japanese laborers hired were still transporting goods. There was nothing wrong now. King Charlie started chatting with Kim Yongtai and Zhao Zhenchang.

And, as Zhao Zhenchang opened up, King Charlie began to direct the topic to the Later Jin side.

"Oh, Zhenchangjun, have you been to Houjin?" King Charlie deliberately showed a very shocked look. "I have heard people talk about this place. Those maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty said that Houjin is a very barbaric country. People in this country eat raw human flesh."

Of course, King Charlie's words were false, and his shocked expression was also false.

What a shitty Daming Maritime Merchant? Since the war broke out in Jiuzhou, the Daming Maritime Merchants have long disappeared. These guys run faster than rabbits, and are always able to avoid bad luck.

However, King Charlie said this just to make Zhao Zhenchang say more.

Sure enough, when Zhao Zhenchang heard what King Charlie said, he showed a slight smug look.

"The Later Jin in the mouths of those Ming people are of course so barbaric. You don't know, because the Ming Dynasty was suppressed and beaten by the Later Jin in Liaodong, and they even had no way of doing this."

After all, Zhao Zhenchang has been to Houjin to do business, so he still knows a little about Houjin.

Although the people he came into contact with were not high-level people, no matter whether you want to or not, you will always hear some things about the battle between the Later Jin and the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Zhenchang heard a lot of information about this.

"Oh, the Ming Dynasty is very powerful. At least many maritime merchants who came to Nagasaki said so. Even the local Japanese people were full of yearning when talking about the Ming Dynasty. Why is the Ming Dynasty being beaten by the Later Jin Dynasty now? Isn't this a bit unreliable?"

King Charlie said to Zhao Zhenchang as if he didn't believe it.

Jin Yongtai, who stood beside King Charlie, nodded and said, "Zhenchangjun, the Ming Dynasty is very powerful, there is absolutely no doubt about this. The Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty just rose up just now. They didn't even have a little background. How could they always compete with the Ming Dynasty, which had a large army of vast land and vast land and vast resources. So I think their gains for the moment were just a little luck."

Kim Yongtai is an absolute fan of the Ming Dynasty and highly praised the Ming Dynasty.

Although he was excluded from doing business in the Ming Dynasty, this did not stop him from yearning for the Ming Dynasty.

Because in this era, the Ming Empire, for the people of its surrounding countries, was like a modern American existence.

Although merchants and envoys from various countries will be despised and rejected when they come to the Ming Dynasty and have various unfairness, they still cannot give up their yearning for the Ming Dynasty.

This concept is similar to those of modern public intellectuals. Although they complain about the United States very much, they will definitely go to the United States if they have the opportunity, and even get a US passport.

If you like someone, send him (her) to the Ming Dynasty because it is heaven!

I hate that I also send him (her) to the Ming Dynasty because it is hell!

If this modern poem is changed, it is actually quite appropriate to use it in the people of the people around the Ming Dynasty in this era.

Because Kim Yongtai, a Korean man standing beside King Charlie, had this kind of thought.

"Yongtai Jun, although I often agree with your views. However, in the situation of the Later Jin and Ming dynasties, I have different views from yours."

It's rare that Zhao Zhenchang actually refuted Kim Yongtai.

You know, Zhao Zhenchang has been working with Kim Yongtai for a long time. Just as Zhao Zhenchang himself said, many times, Kim Yongtai is making ideas and giving orders, while Zhao Zhenchang just needs to listen to Kim Yongtai.

Even Zhao Zhenchang didn't even have his own point of view.

Therefore, after Zhao Zhenchang's statement, Jin Yongtai was stunned.

He never thought that the guy who is usually timid and always agrees with his words has the courage to say different opinions today.

"Oh, what the hell is going on?"

King Charlie was not in the mood to pay attention to Kim Yongtai’s thoughts. He was now thinking about finding out some information about the Later Jin from Zhao Zhenchang.

King Charlie agrees with what Zhao Zhenchang said just now.

Because according to normal history, the Ming Dynasty would indeed be defeated by the Jurchens between Rising and the Black Mountains and White Waters, and it would also ruin a huge empire.

Of course, the reasons here are very complicated. First, the internal struggles and internal frictions within the Ming Empire, and Li Zicheng's uprising army was also the culprit for consuming the last breath of vitality of the Ming Empire, and then it was the Jurchens who took advantage of it.

There are some very coincidental things here, that is, Li Zicheng's subordinate Liu Zongmin seized Chen Yuanyuan, which made Wu Sangui angry and surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty for Hongyan. He directly opened Shanhaiguan and let the whipped cavalry go south.

In fact, Wu Sangui intended to surrender to Li Zicheng at that time.

Who knows why Liu Zongmin did such a thing?

As King Charlie, who has modern knowledge, of course he knows this history.

Therefore, he felt that although Zhao Zhenchang was not very good, his vision was still very sharp.

Because this is the case, the Jurchens eventually defeated the Ming Dynasty and became the master of the beautiful country.

Jin Yongtai's vision was much worse because he did not see the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and always thought that the eldest Ming Empire could still support it.

In fact, the Ming Empire is now full of holes and decay.

The building is about to collapse, but no one is willing to expose it.

"The Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty were brave and good at fighting, and were brave and fearless in death. This is far from comparable to the Ming soldiers of Liaodong. At the same time, because the Jurchens lived among poor mountains and rivers, they wanted to change their lives, so they could only go through war and plunder. Therefore, whenever a man of the Later Jin Dynasty was thirteen years old, he could fight with a knife. On the other hand, what were the thirteen-year-old children in the Ming Dynasty doing?"

Ignoring Kim Yongtai and without waiting for Kim Yongtai to continue speaking, Zhao Zhenchang began to talk about what he saw in the Later Jin Dynasty.

"Now the Later Jin has annexed some tribes in western Mongolia. They have organized all the Mongolian cavalry into their own combat troops. At the same time, because of the small Mongolian tribes, the strength of the Later Jin has suddenly increased a lot because they have a large source of war horses..."

Zhao Zhenchang was talking about the strategy of the Later Jin Dynasty against Mongolia. King Charlie secretly remembered it in his heart, and thought to himself: It seems that the Later Jin Dynasty has begun to fight against Mongolia now. Fortunately, the Later Jin has not completely conquered the tribes in western Mongolia, so they are still weak now.

After the Later Jin conquered all the tribes in western Mongolia, this would be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty.

In normal history, the development of the Later Jin Dynasty was indeed like this.

Because Nurhaci of the Later Jin Dynasty felt that he was not a match for the Ming Dynasty. In order to have a military source and a horse-producing land, he focused his attention on the tribes in eastern Mongolia connected to the Later Jin Dynasty.

You should know that the Mongolians are a horse-backed nation. Any teenage man can fight with a bow and a horse. This is an excellent source of troops.

It is precisely because of such a strategy that the Later Jin Dynasty gradually increased its strength and became able to challenge the Ming Empire.
