Let’s talk about Ma Shiqi being stunned by Lin Chunhong’s wonderful thoughts. Out of instinct, he almost wanted to jump up and oppose it, but then he thought about it and finally made Lin Chunhong give up the right to investigate Xinggong Tower. If he objected, all his previous efforts would probably be wasted.

After Ma Shiqi bid farewell to Lin Chunhong, he immediately found Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu and expressed Lin Chunhong's opinions.

Zhang Daohan watched Lin Chunhong grow up, and no one knew Lin Chunhong better than him. As soon as Ma Shiqi finished speaking, he patted his forehead and suddenly realized: "I said why did the governor suddenly change his sex? It turned out to be for the woman!"

After saying that, he felt that he was unclear and added: "The governor took great pains to get the woman out of the house!"

Ma Shiqi said: "The women in Jingzhou have actually gone out of their homes, especially in cotton spinning workshops, where female workers account for the vast majority. For example, there are countless people who master financial plans and remotely control peddlers and pawns. The governor wanted to go further and directly let the women become officials..."

As he spoke, Ma Shiqi suddenly paused and said, "Last year, the governor proposed to set up a special women's school to allow girls to go to school. At that time, because there were too many oppositions, the governor did not mention it again. Unexpectedly, the governor endured it until now and directly proposed to let women become officials! It seems that he has made up his mind this time and must promote girls to enter school and promote women to become officials."

Zhu Zhiyu sighed and said, "The Governor did this, never thought about the pressure he faced? Yang Sichang had ulterior motives in the court, and the Donglin Party was also ready to move in Jiangnan. He just waited to seize the loopholes in Jingzhou and made a big announcement. Wouldn't the Governor do this to hand over the handle to them?"

Zhang Daohan frowned and thought for a long time, and said with a bitter face: "I think we can't object this time. Compared with the Jinyiwei, the signs of Dongchang, what is a woman who is an official and goes to school? This time the governor used the investigation power of Xinggong Tower to exchange for the woman who is an official, and his attitude was very clear, that is, the governor did not hesitate to act arbitrarily and also promoted the woman to be an official."

Zhu Zhiyu patted his forehead in annoyance: "It seems that we have to agree..."

Zhang Daohan said: "Let's take one step at a time..."

...

In April, the temperature of the Liaodong Peninsula rose rapidly, and the vast black soil had already melted. Under sufficient light, grass grew and birds were full of vitality.

After a long tug-of-war, the residents above were either plundered by the Jinwu army to Lushun or moved to the north by Huang Taiji. There was almost no population on the Liaodong Peninsula. This created an excellent living environment for wild animals. The so-called rod-beating roe deer, scooping fish and pheasants into the rice pot, and it really became a reality here.

However, all this was quickly broken by the rumbling sound of iron hooves.

In early April, Huang Taiji ordered Oboi to lead 6,000 cavalrymen, and cross the Isthmus of Jinzhou at a speed of thunder and raid the Lushun Len Castle. Oboi was so fast that he almost did not leave any time to return the scout. Fortunately, Di Wei set up a beacon tower twenty miles away from the fortress, which gave the city time to react and closed the city gate in time, otherwise Oboi would have to rush into the city.

Under the fierce artillery fire and dense rafts, Obai did not dare to approach the city wall, but vented his anger on the surrounding beacon towers and sentry posts. In one day, all the strongholds outside Lushun were removed, making Zheng Fulin and Dou Shiwen so angry that their faces were blue.

But Zheng Fulin and Dou Shiwen had no choice.

The Thunder Battle ended. Due to the difficulty of financial planning, Lin Chunhong ordered the Dragon and Tiger Army to retreat south to Shanghai to eat, leaving more than 6,000 Jinwu troops in Lushun Fort.

With these more than 6,000 troops alone, they were obviously not Oboi's opponents, so they had to let Oboi plunder outside the city.

Dou Shiwen couldn't bear to see the Tartar cavalry running around outside the city, and got angry as soon as he saw it. So he hid in the inner city and vented his resentment on Chen Huan.

"Use the Liao people to conquer Liao territory, use the Liao territory to support Liao army... what's the matter! It's obvious that you are talking nonsense!"

When Dou Shiwen saw Chen Huan at his desk, he couldn't help but sarcastically. The so-called "using the Liao people to conquer the Liao territory and supporting the Liao army with the Liao territory" was exactly the strategy Chen Huan went to the Governor's Office a month ago.

Dou Shiwen suddenly broke in, frightened Chen Huan. He didn't understand what Dou Shiwen was saying for a moment, and asked in a daze: "What nonsense?"

Dou Shiwen pointed outside the house and said, "The Tartars outside camped outside the city and showed off their power every day. Huang Taiji used facts to tell us that nothing belonged to us except a small castle!"

Chen Huan said oh, "As the saying goes, one time and another, what's so strange about this?"

Dou Shiwen said hatefully: "Didn't your letter to the Governor's Office say that you will sell the land on the Liaodong Peninsula at a low price to attract mainland merchants to invest in the Liaodong Peninsula? Look, as long as the Tartars are willing, their iron hooves can rush under the city wall at any time. Who is willing to come here? So, what you are talking about is nonsense."

Chen Huan sighed and said, "There is no way to do it now. The battle in Shandong almost hurts the vitality of Jingzhou. Even if the governor wants to drive the Tartars back to the deep mountains and forests, he will have the will but lack strength. If the Dragon and Tiger Legion are here and give Oboi ambition and courage, he will not dare to rush under the city wall..."

As he was talking, Chen Huan suddenly stopped and pondered: "It's not difficult to drive the Tartars away, just..."

Chen Huan deliberately kept it a secret and stopped talking.

Sure enough, Dou Shiwen asked eagerly: "What's the solution?"

Chen Huan laughed and said, "Just ask Zhou Linlao's northbound fleet to go to Jinzhou Isthmus to make a landing example, Oboi must be frightened!"

"This..." Dou Shiwen's eyes were contemptuous and said disdainfully: "Why should I say you are stupid or smart? The Dragon and Tiger Legion evacuated from Lushun, and the Tatars' eyeliner could not be seen?"

Chen Huan said: "The Tartars cannot see on the other side of Jeju Island? Although the Tartars knew that the Dragon and Tiger Legion had withdrawn, they didn't know if they had retreated to Shanghai? You must know that for the Tartars, if they were a little negligent, it would be the end of the annihilation of the entire army. Huang Taiji was willing to use 6,000 cavalry to take risks?"

Dou Shiwen thought for a while, felt it was reasonable, and hurriedly said, "Since we have a good plan, let's go and find Zheng Shuai immediately!"

Chen Huan smiled and said, "No, don't worry, you just said that using Liao territory to support the Liao army was nonsense, and I was not convinced. Let's make a bet. If I say one, two, and three, you sincerely say the word "convinced", I will give me the golden wrist guards that the governor rewarded you!"

Dou Shiwen subconsciously took two steps back, feeling extremely reluctant. The gold wristband was made of pure gold. When he was fighting against Zuo Liangyu, Dou Shiwen made great contributions before he was rewarded. The word "Zhong" was engraved on it. Dou Shiwen was reluctant to wear it, and he always worshipped it in his residence and often took it out to boast.

Finally, Dou Shiwen gritted his teeth and said, "If I can't convince me, I'll send you your 'Han Soul' short sword to me!"

Chen Huan did not expect that Dou Shiwen would treat him with his own way, and he was extremely reluctant to let him go. However, Chen Huan was obviously full of confidence in himself. After he hesitating for a moment, he slapped Dou Shiwen with his high-high and sworn.

Chen Huan took out a map and pointed to Gaizhou on the Liaodong Peninsula and said to Dou Shiwen: "If a city in Gaizhou is built like Lushun, how could the Tartars dare to step into the Liaodong Peninsula again? At that time, wouldn't mainland merchants flock here?"

Dou Shiwen looked carefully and discovered that the Changbai Mountains stretched for thousands of miles and stretched into the Liaodong Peninsula. The Liaodong Peninsula was like a ridge, with high in the middle and low on both sides. Among them, Gaizhou guarded the flat road from Chenyang, Liaoyang to Fuzhou, Lushun, and Donggou guarded the flat road from Korea to Fuzhou and Lushun.

If the city was really built in Gaizhou, the Jingzhou army's military attack would be pushed to a distance of more than 300 miles from Chenyang, which would definitely become an ever-renowned nightmare for the Tatars! Moreover, the Tatars would never dare to enter the Liaodong Peninsula on a large scale when there was a strong city behind them, otherwise they would be attacked by the Jingzhou army and suffered heavy losses.

Dou Shiwen instinctively felt that building a city in Gaizhou was enough to become a turning point in the strategic situation in Liaodong. However, Dou Shiwen could not admit this so happily, and couldn't help but curl up and said, "It's just a matter of talking about war on paper? Isn't it true that North Korea obeys the Tatars' orders. If the Tatars attack the Liaodong Peninsula through North Korea and from Donggou, Gaizhou will still be useless!"

Chen Huan laughed and said, "The road along the way is two or three hundred miles long between North Korea and Liaodong. The supply line is long and the road is difficult to walk. If the Tartars really choose this road, we will have a headache. You won't be scared by the Tartars, you don't even have this courage, right?"

It was even more uncomfortable to say that Dou Shiwen was not brave enough than killing him. Therefore, Dou Shiwen no longer entangled in the Donggou line, but pointed to Gaizhou and said: "This place is only more than 300 miles away from Chenyang. Once we build a city here, the Tartars will definitely attack with all their might. I am afraid that the Tartars will be attacked before the city has been built!"

Chen Huan laughed: "Brother Dou...Brother Dou! You are talking lies with your eyes open! You know more about our army's advantages than me! We control the sea route and want to land in Gaizhou, it is naturally easy to get back to Gaizhou, and the supply can be sent to Gaizhou continuously, with no security in the rear. More importantly, our army's advantage lies in arrays and then fighting, and we hope that the Tartars will attack a little hard. The Tartars' advantage lies in large-scale maneuvering wars. If we really want to attack our positions, wouldn't it be depressed?"

Dou Shiwen argued: "If there is no 50,000 army, it is okay to do this! Moreover, this may turn into a decisive battle between Jingzhou and the Tartars. Fifty thousand army is probably far from enough! Where can Jingzhou have money and food to fight this war now?"

Chen Huan smiled and said, "That's what the governor is worried about, so I don't have to think about it. As long as the city of Gaizhou is built, you can get thousands of hectares of fertile land for nothing. The most important thing is to get the place where the governor dreams of horse raising! The governor raises horses in Fangcheng, Henan, on Jeju Island. The place is small, and even tens of thousands of cavalry can't be supplied. If there is the Liaodong Peninsula, hehe... at that time, it is very likely that the Jinwu Army will have thousands of cavalry!"

After saying that, Chen Huan asked with the winner's smile: "What I said, are you convinced or not?"
