"What destiny timing?"

Although Yang Zhen roughly knew what Fang Guangchen meant by destiny timing, he couldn't help but ask. He needed to judge whether what Fang Guangchen thought was consistent with his own.

"If the Tatars don't move, I won't move either. The imperial court will only acquiesce or even support the governor to continue to grow in strength in order to contain the Tatars. If the Tatars continue to send troops to western Liaoning in large numbers, this will be one of the governor's destiny opportunities."

At this point, Fang Guangchen gave up, smiled slightly mysteriously and obscenely, and said to Yang Zhen: "Brother Han Qing, does he know that one of Yuan Chonghuan's crimes of killing Mao Wenlong was closely related to North Korea?"

"oh?"

Of course Yang Zhen also knew this allusion, but looking at it from the perspective of hundreds of years later, he didn't know whether it was true or not. He calmly listened to Fang Guangchen's narration.

"One of them is that Mao Wenlong is unruly and has the plan to destroy North Korea and replace it! It is said that Yuan Chonghuan asked Mao Wenlong to disarm and return to his fields. Wenlong said to him, I am the only one in the world who knows things. Once things are done, North Korea is weak and can be done in one fell swoop.

It comes as a surprise!"

After saying this, Fang Guangchen smiled, looked at Yang Zhen, paused for a while, and seeing Yang Zhen's expressionless face, as if indifferent, he put away his smile and continued:

"Nowadays, Mao Wenlong is dead, but his ambitions are worthy of being succeeded by the governor! When Mao Wenlong was still there, Korea was still a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and it was a country that Emperor Hongwu Gao decreed would not be conquered. Wenlong wanted to invade, which implies

The meaning of striving for the throne does have hints of being unruly and rebellious.

"But today, the situation is very different. North Korea has already changed its affairs to the Manchu Tatars. It not only paid tribute to the Manchu Tatars as vassals, but also sent a large amount of grain, grass, wages and weapons to the Manchu Tatars. It was already an enemy country with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Mao Wenlong wanted to attack.

His ambitions are enough for today’s governors to imitate without risk!”

"You mean we can send troops to occupy North Korea in the future?"

Yang Zhen originally thought that Fang Guangchen was trying to persuade him to accumulate strength and then fight for the world, but he didn't expect that he was going to send troops to North Korea to attack.

Yang Zhen couldn't imagine that Fang Guangchen, a playboy from the late Ming Dynasty, could have such a big brain.

But when Yang Zhen's "surprise" fell into Fang Guangchen's eyes, Fang Guangchen felt very proud for a moment.

"That's right."

Fang Guangchen unfolded the folding fan he had been holding in his hand. In the cold weather, he actually fanned himself happily. He first answered Yang Zhen's question clearly, then closed the folding fan, looked at Yang Zhen with a smile and said:

"Since Korea has surrendered to the Manchu Tatars, today's so-called Eastern Affairs should naturally include this small country on the east coast. With the strength of the governor, it may be insufficient to attack the Manchu Tatars, but it is more than enough to attack Korea."

"Although North Korea is a small country, it has been established for more than two hundred years. Although its leader, the Lee family, is weak, it is said that there are still people in the country. How can it be said that it can be destroyed by destroying it?"

It is of course impossible to say that Yang Zhen, who came from a later generation, did not have the intention to destroy North Korea.

If I don't seize such an opportunity in this life, I will be sorry for heaven and earth, and I will be sorry for the various tricks that will be used to steal the country in future generations.

But Yang Zhen also knows that this matter is not that easy and needs to be planned slowly and long-term.

"Haha, attacking North Korea does not necessarily mean destroying it in one fell swoop. Since North Korea is already a vassal of Manta, Manta cannot remain indifferent when we attack North Korea. This will lead the battlefield against Manta to the east.

"When the time comes, if the Manchu and Tatar armies come to rescue Korea, our army will fight if it wants to, and if it doesn't, it can withdraw. In short, the effect of containment will be obvious, and the imperial court will have its own rewards for the governor.

"But if the Manchu and Tatar armies do not come to rescue us, if our army can destroy North Korea, we will destroy it. If we cannot destroy it at once, then the woman will return with a large amount of gold, silver and wealth. This will not only shake the hearts of North Korea's vassals, the Manchu Tatars, but also impoverish North Korea and gradually destroy it."

With the aid of food and salary from the Tartars! In this way, isn’t it the best of both worlds?!”

When Fang Guangchen said this, he opened the folding fan again with a swipe sound, shook it, and looked at the surprised Yang Zhen with a smile.

It's no wonder that Yang Zhen was surprised. Fang Guangchen's ideas indeed went beyond some of Yang Zhen's previous plans.

And compared to some of Yang Zhen's previous plans, this style of play is also a bit more advanced.

Yang Zhen nodded, let out a long hum, touched his chin, and kept thinking about whether this approach was feasible or not.

At this moment, Fang Guangchen laughed and continued: "In the past few years, North Korea will only become weaker and weaker, but the strength of the governor will become stronger, and then he can attack in one fell swoop.

"At that time, the governor will either supervise the country or serve as regent for him. In the long run, the land of Korea will be owned by the governor. Then sit back and watch the evolution of the situation in the world. If the destiny of the Ming Dynasty is still there, the governor will contain the retreat of the Eastern captives for the Ming Dynasty.

Lost the title of King of Korea.

"If so, if it is difficult to revive the Ming Dynasty and the destiny of the Central Plains is transferred, then the commander-in-chief will strengthen his troops in the east of the sea and choose an opportunity to send the boat division southward. Maybe we can take a step further from this!"

Speaking of this, Fang Guangchen smiled and said nothing, and did not say it clearly, but the meaning of his words could not be clearer.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty was not optimistic. Many people could see this, and people like Fang Guangchen were no exception.

Such troubled times are an out-and-out tragedy for many people, but for people like Fang Guangchen, they are like a fish in water. He gave up the imperial examination and devoted himself to it, looking for that kind of unworldly person everywhere.

For example, this time, Fang Guangchen had the opportunity to gain an official position in the court based on Yang Zhen's performance for him and the connections between his father and son in the court.

However, he gave up and didn't care at all.

The reason for this is because he believed that Yang Zhen, who dared to imitate Mao Wenlong and attack the enemy behind the Eastern Han Dynasty, was the kind of person who could be followed and who was unique.

This is also the reason why he gave up the opportunity to be appointed as an official of the imperial court, and traveled across the sea to find Yang Zhen, and continued to work as a private staff member.

What he focused on was not Yang Zhen's present, but Yang Zhen's more ambitious and limitless future.

"Haha, it's easier said than done. Everything you said is based on our ability to stay here for a long time and continue to grow in strength. If we can't continue to grow in strength, wouldn't everything you just said come true?

Is it a mirage?"

Although Yang Zhen was impressed by Fang Guangchen's vision for the future, Yang Zhen was also very clear about his current shortcomings.

Therefore, facing Fang Guangchen's piercing eyes, Yang Zhen nodded and expressed his worries with a wry smile.

"Haha, the Commander-in-Chief does not need to worry. Without the Commander-in-Chief's strategy of setting up five camps in Nanguanling today and allocating land and dividing fields to accommodate Liu Wanzhong's troops, I would not dare to persuade the Commander-in-Chief to make this idea."

Having said this, Fang Guangchen looked solemn and continued: "The country is in chaos today, the Central Plains is devastated, wars are raging, the people are displaced, and the government cannot resettle them. If the governor implements this method in Jinhai Town, recruit

The refugees were given farmland and divided into three hundred households. Each household sent out one soldier. The length of a village was the length of a sentry post. In this way, not to mention tens of thousands of troops could be obtained in an instant, that is, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

What’s wrong with the army?!”

Millions of people are easy to get, but millions of people are difficult to raise!

Hearing Fang Guangchen's excited words, Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly as he thought of the food and wages these people needed.

However, Fang Guangchen seemed to know what Yang Zhen was worried about, and immediately said to him: "The Governor is worried about food and wages? With people and horses, what food are you worried about? Governor, look at the bandits from Shanxi, they only think that there are not many people and horses, but they don't have enough people."

Never worry about food and salary, where does their food and salary come from?"

"It's just a word grab."

"That's right! The thieves are like locusts crossing the border, eating one place and replacing it with another. However, the imperial court is trapped by food and salary. There is nothing to do. If this continues, the government will fall apart sooner or later!"

"Thieves can rob people, but we can't. Therefore, the issue of food and wages must be taken into consideration!"

Although Yang Zhen had already robbed a lot of things, he was mainly targeting the traitors and profiteers in Zhangjiakou. If he were asked to imitate thieves and rob ordinary people in Guanli or along the coast, he would definitely not do it.

He is not a moral gentleman. In order to achieve his ultimate goal, he will do whatever it takes.

However, it is absolutely impossible for him to rob innocent Ming people like the thieves, or like the warlords Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing and others.

He still has this moral bottom line, and he must stick to it.

"Captain, of course we can't rob the people of the Ming Dynasty, but North Korea, which has changed its situation to the Eastern Han Dynasty, is very close at hand! We are robbing it just to weaken the Eastern Han Dynasty, so why not?!"

What Yang Zhen didn't expect was that Fang Guangchen's eyes were always fixed on North Korea, and he wanted to rob North Korea. He didn't finish mentioning North Korea, and he continued to say to Yang Zhen:

"There is also the country of the Japanese slaves in the east of the sea, which is very close to the navy of the governor. Such barbarian beasts have even crossed the sea to rob the Ming Dynasty. Now that the world is reincarnated, even if they are ordered to kill them all, it is not enough.

It’s unkind. When the time comes, the governor will send his troops to seize it, so why not?!”

"I didn't expect this. Brother Ting Xianxian, your words really enlightened me! Hahahaha..."
