Just as Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui were preparing to send people to the capital to see if they could sneak in and run for him, Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou had led a large army to Datong Prefecture.

When the army was ten miles away from Datong, the army stopped.

After Sun Chuanting said to Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou, he led dozens of personal guards to Datong Mansion.

According to Sun Chuanting, the army does not need to enter Datong Prefecture. Yang Fengyi, Wu Sangui and the soldiers who are waiting to be punished can only be summoned and brought back.

Of course, he was also worried that unnecessary trouble would arise when the army arrived in Datong.

After all, the army of the Song Empire is an "outsider". Once there are any misunderstandings and frictions with the defenders of Datong, it will be unfair to cause any unpleasant conflicts.

Sun Chuanting is not sure what kind of virtue the Ming Dynasty army was.

Although the clothes of the soldiers of the Song Empire were a little weird, the material was really good.

At the same time, the soldiers in the army of the Song Empire were paid in full and never owed the monthly payment. So, the soldiers of the Song Empire were all very rich.

The Ming army in Datong Prefecture has not paid any money for half a year.

If you meet the rich soldiers of the Song Empire, those soldiers and gangsters will have to play tricks to make money.

Therefore, in order to avoid such problems, Sun Chuanting felt that it would be better not to allow the army of the Song Empire to enter Datong Prefecture.

Anyway, when the army came to Datong, it mainly accepted Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui, as well as hundreds of generals and officials in Liaodong to be punished.

The court did not say that they would garrison troops in Datong Prefecture.

Sun Chuanting did not hide these worries and directly raised them to Zhao Hongyu.

Zhao Hongyu also accepted Sun Chuanting's proposal very generously.

It’s not that Zhao Hongyu was afraid of the soldiers in Datong Mansion, but that he thought it would be better to have less trouble and worry less now.

Sun Chuanting was very grateful for Zhao Hongyu's reasonableness.

After all, if Zhao Hongyu insists, Sun Chuanting will be very busy, right?

If Zhao Hongyu insists, then after the army enters Datong Prefecture, what he is worried about will definitely happen.

At that time, there will be many troubles.

Seeing the backs of Sun Chuanting and others who were leaving gradually disappeared into the distance, Jay Chou said to Zhao Hongyu: "Your Highness, how do you think we will develop there after we arrive in Jincheng?"

Zhao Hongyu smiled and responded: "I have seen the map. If nothing is wrong, I think Jincheng should be another area where modern Jinzhou is located in time and space. Therefore, I have some ideas in my mind, which is nothing more than to base myself on Jincheng, use trade to connect Mongolia and Goryeo, and use economic means to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty. For us, war is not the main theme. If we can achieve the goal without bloodshed, then why don't we use it?"

Jay Chou agrees with Zhao Hongyu's idea at that time, but he thinks that many times, many things will not be developed as planned.

Therefore, Jay Chou reminded: "Your Highness, after listening to your plan, my subordinates also think it is very feasible. However, Jincheng is too close to Shengjing, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty. As long as we settle in Jincheng, we will definitely become a thorn in the Later Jin Dynasty. Troubles will definitely be indispensable at that time."

Yes, if Jincheng is Jinzhou, then it will be very close to Shengjing.

And such an army appeared so close to the capital. I think the Later Jin side would definitely be unhappy until what time was it.

Therefore, for such a threatening thing, the Later Jin will definitely need to be solved.

So in order to solve such a threat, what else can be done besides war?

Therefore, at that time, the military conflicts at the beginning of Jincheng will definitely be indispensable.

"I know what you are worried about, but I don't think you have to worry too much. Just with the 25,000 Imperial Army, I think it's still possible to withstand the early attacks of the Later Jin Dynasty. As long as I can withstand the early military operations and when I transfer the Japanese soldiers from Jiuzhou, Jincheng will rest assured."

Jay Chou thought about it after hearing this, and nodded silently.

Yes, I still have 25,000 Imperial Army as a supporter. I think there will be no problem with the military attacks of the Later Jin dynasties in a short period of time.

Therefore, it is really as His Highness said, and there is nothing to worry about.

During the conversation between the two, they did not mention Sun Chuanting and the others at all.

Obviously, in Zhao Hongyu and Jay Chou's consciousness, Sun Chuanting and others were not regarded as a reliable combat force.

"Your Highness, how will Sun Chuanting and others arrange it?" Jay Chou asked.

In response to Jay Chou’s inquiry, Zhao Hongyu thought for a while before speaking: “Set up a public security department, you can’t let them eat freely. And as we enter Jincheng, some local people will also need to manage them. At that time, someone will always be responsible for the matter of family matters. I want Sun Chuanting and others to do this, it would be great.”

It turns out that Zhao Hongyu wants to use Sun Chuanting and the others as policemen and urban management.

But Jay Chou did not object.

"Well, Your Highness's arrangement is very reasonable. With Sun Chuanting and others responsible for public security and some trivial matters, we can concentrate all our efforts on the early defense of the Later Jin Dynasty."

"But Your Highness, I wonder how many people there are in Jincheng?"

Yes, Jay Chou hasn't asked until now how many people are there in Jincheng?

In Jay Chou's view, Jincheng is so close to Shengjing of the Later Jin Dynasty, it will definitely be often invaded by the Later Jin Dynasty. Therefore, there are definitely not many people in this place.

After all, the local area is not safe, right?

"That was a three-no-door zone. Due to some special reasons, Jincheng has not been incorporated into the territory of the Later Jin Dynasty. If we had not come to this era, I would not have wanted long, Jincheng would have become the territory of the Later Jin Dynasty."

"After I chose Jincheng, I inquire about some information about Jincheng. According to the information provided by officials from the Ministry of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty, there were less than 300 households in Jincheng. If calculated based on one household and five people, it would be less than 1,500 people."

After hearing some news about Jincheng, Jay Chou couldn't help but lose his voice: "Damn it, it's only 1,500 people, isn't this deal a loss?"

Yes, according to normal people's thinking, this transaction is indeed a loss.

As a mortgage, Jincheng must at least be a bigger city.

Otherwise, it would be of no value to use as collateral.

However, Zhao Hongyu doesn't think so.

With Jincheng as the center, the range of 100 miles is mortgaged to Zhao Hongyu.

According to the agreement between Zhao Hongyu and Zhu Shangwu, Zhao Hongyu has absolute control over this mortgage area within the period when Zhu Shangwu pays off the debt.

He can build a city in Jincheng to attract people to settle down, or he can mine some underground minerals.

Of course, the premise is that there are minerals for you to mine, and the people are willing to come to this dangerous place to settle down.

You know, Zhu Shangwu has owed Zhao Hongyu more than 16 million taels of silver so far.

The interest rate is quite high every month.

How much tax can each person provide for this thousand,500 people in Jincheng provide each month?

Zhu Shangwu said that the taxes and minerals in Jincheng territory are all used to repay interest. If there are too many, it will be even if the debt is owed.

But Zhao Hongyu doesn't think so.

Because he felt that Jincheng was just the beginning.

How could it be so easy to pay off the money Zhu Shangwu owed?

Even Zhao Hongyu could predict that Zhu Shangwu would definitely ask himself who borrowed money in the future, so that he would owed more and more money.

As the loans increase, Zhu Shangwu must have to take out some land again as collateral.

hey-hey!

At that time, starting with Jincheng, he can slowly extend to the surroundings.

Speaking of which, this is also a very obscure way to plunder the land.

Compared to what Zhao Hongyu did in Europe and Japan, he was very gentle.

After all, who made everyone have the blood of Yanhuang?

Therefore, Zhao Hongyu doesn't think there is anything to lose money or not.

Moreover, at some point, land cannot be measured by money, right?

"No, I'm not losing money on this deal..." Anyway, there are no outsiders now, and Zhao Hongyu is not worried about being listened to, so he told Jay Chou all his plans.

After hearing Zhao Hongyu's plan, Jay Chou breathed a long sigh.

"Your Highness, you are smart. You actually thought of using this method to get land and territory from the Ming Dynasty to serve as our eastern stronghold."

Jay Chou was truly convinced.

Such a method is really not something that ordinary people can use.

More than ten million taels of silver.

In this era, no country can be as easy as Zhao Hongyu.

He is rich and generous.

"But your Highness, don't we have a stronghold in Japan? I heard that Kyushu is already ours, so is it necessary to build a stronghold here?"

Jay Chou was a little puzzled about this.

Zhao Hongyu looked at him with a smile, and then said, "The strongholds in Japan are mainly used to radiate along the coast and as a springboard to land in the east. We start from the Americas and always need an outpost to rest."

"And don't you think the Japanese are very capable. Is it a good place for us to recruit soldiers in the future for certain things?" When talking about this, the expression on Zhao Hongyu's face became very sinister.

Jay Chou almost understood what Zhao Hongyu meant, so he also smirked.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had already brought his troops into Datong Prefecture City. After telling the local prefect and the governors what they wanted, he read out the imperial decree and soon arrived at the residence of Yang Fengyi and Wu Sangui.
