In the area that Haihan can reach, the Fushan Copper Mine is one of the few high-quality copper mines with huge reserves, unexploited, and located near the coastline. It is also the main reason why Haihan chose to go to Fushan County to establish a ruling area. one of the reasons.It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the mining of this copper mine, perhaps even the pace of Haihan’s northward expansion would have slowed down a lot, and the situation in the entire Northeast Asian region might have gone in a completely different direction because of this.
As the mine with the highest copper production in the Haihan area, the Executive Committee attaches no less importance to the Fushan Copper Mine than to large mines such as the Shilu Iron Mine and the Heitugang Coal Mine.Moreover, since the Fushan Copper Mine is located in the territory of Daming, which is far away from Haihan's mainland, it will face military pressure from Ming at any time. In order to ensure that it will not be taken back by Daming with strong means, Haihan has continuously increased its control over this area over the years. Military investment to ensure that this mine can be under the control of Haihan for a long time, and export copper, an important strategic resource, to Haihan stably.
The Haihan Army currently stationed in Fushan County, in addition to a small number of naval units in Zhifu Port, also has two infantry battalions located near the county seat and the Fushan Copper Mine.In addition, in important areas such as Majiazhuang and the Jiahe estuary, there are also militia groups with a size of [-] people.Although these militia groups formed by the Ma family have limited combat power, they are no longer a problem against civilian bandits and robbers, and they are enough to maintain local law and order.
Among them, the infantry battalion stationed at the Fushan Copper Mine has also had friction with the small Ming army troops sent by Dengzhou in various names in the past few years, and there have been sporadic casualties, but both sides adhere to the principle of not tearing the face There has been no large-scale armed conflict.
However, just in case, Haihan has never let go of his attention here, and his equipment level can even be on par with elites like the Special Forces.A large number of fortifications have been built on the hills outside the mine, and the local area has enough supplies for the garrison and miners to hold on to the mine for more than half a month.In this way, even if the Ming army launches an offensive on the mine, the garrison can delay time and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Of course, in terms of the combat effectiveness of the local garrison troops of the Haihan army, as long as they hold their positions, it is enough to deal with the enemy's attack of about [-] people, and it is unlikely that the Ming army in Dengzhou will move out to challenge the defense line of Fushan Copper Mine. The local deployment is basically a preparedness move.
However, although such a deployment can deter the Dengzhou government and prevent it from acting rashly, the Fushan Copper Mine has been mined for two or three years, and its production capacity is no longer a secret. This is a real piece of fat.As the rightful owner, the Ming officials naturally do not want to see their mines being occupied by overseas outsiders for a long time, so they will still find ways to cause trouble for Fushan Copper Mine from time to time.
The Fushan County Government has long been evacuated by the colonial authorities of Zhifu Island, and its presence in the local area is almost the same as that of the land god offered in the temple, basically reduced to a decoration.But Dengzhou Mansion has an order, and the county government dare not neglect it. Zhang Pucheng, the magistrate, was unable to visit Zhifu Island because of his status.
Although Ma Dongqiang is not afraid of the county government at all, he is somewhat afraid of the Dengzhou government, especially the news that came this time was claimed to be the order of the imperial court. Zhang Pucheng then called Jiang Sheng to work out countermeasures together.
Jiang Sheng was just a Confucian student in the countryside. Before the Haihan people came to Fushan County, he had never seen much of the world. Deep in his heart, he was still full of reverence for the imperial power. Hearing that this was an order issued by the imperial court, he was a little confused.At this time, there were no high-ranking Haihan officers on Zhifu Island, and he and Ma Dongqiang didn't quite believe those Haihan officers who were born in Ming Dynasty, so they decided to report the matter to Chen Yixin.
It just so happened that Jiang Sheng made a decision to escort a batch of goods to Jinzhou, so he took a boat to Lushun immediately, and then rushed to the front line of Jinzhou to report the situation to Chen Yixin.
Chen Yixin didn't care too much about the veracity of the news. In his opinion, even if it was the imperial court's will, or even Emperor Chongzhen's, it would not be able to shake the executive committee's will. Fushan Copper Mine has been regarded as Haihan's An important asset, a lot of resources have been invested in mining this deposit, even if a war breaks out for this, the Executive Committee will never agree to give up this place.
But if Daming really takes tough measures to regain control of the copper mine, it will definitely affect the normal production of the mine, which is definitely something Chen Yixin does not want to see.
Chen Yixin murmured: "When Zhang Pucheng came to see Majiazhuang, did he reveal anything?"
Jiang Sheng said: "Zhang Pucheng said he didn't see the written will, but judging from the way Dengzhou prefect Chen Zhongsheng used to do things, he probably wouldn't make up such a reason to bluff people."
"That means it might be true?" Chen Yixin shook his head and said, "It's really not the time to use force now, but if they really plan to use military means to resolve the issue of the ownership of the Fushan Copper Mine, then they can only fight for a while. It's time!"
Jiang Sheng's face suddenly became a little stiff: "If this really fights with the imperial court, wouldn't Fushan County be destroyed?"
Chen Yixin said: "Even if there is a real war, Majiazhuang will not have to worry about their lives, just evacuate to Zhifu Port. If even Zhifu Port is in short supply, then withdraw to Jinzhou, or arrange for you to settle down south. Letting the Ma family's children go to Taiwan Island in the south to run a plantation in [-] is one of the escape routes left for the family. When it is necessary to leave Dengzhou, there is no need to worry about not having a place to stay."
Chen Yixin originally wanted to go back to the south to develop but failed, but he still arranged a way out for the Ma family in the south, lest one day the Ma family would suffer retaliation from the government after he was transferred from the north.Chen Yixin encircled more than 2000 mu of land on Taiwan Island in his own name, and handed it over to the Ma family's children to run the plantation. Although there is no profit there for the time being, but there is such a large piece of land, it is necessary to resettle Majiazhuang. A few hundred people will definitely be fine.
Jiang Shenglong said: "Then is there any way to discuss it with the court? This war is not good after all, and many people will die..."
Chen Yixin said: "There is no room for discussion regarding the ownership of the Fushan Copper Mine. Uncle Jiang, after you go back, you can tell Zhang Zhi County my answer and ask him to convey it to Dengzhou Prefecture. If the Ming army attacks the Fushan Copper Mine, then Our country will take reciprocal measures and send troops to attack Terengganu."
Chen Yixin's answer can be described as extremely tough, leaving no room for negotiation at all. Not only is he not prepared to hand over the control of the Fushan Copper Mine, but he will also retaliate against Daming for the military measures taken to seize the copper mine.Whether Fushan Copper Mine is more important or Dengzhou City is more important, he believes that Chen Zhongsheng and his like should have a clearer judgment.
But if the Dengzhou government still wants to take the risk, then they can only dispatch the navy fleet to show their force near the coast outside Dengzhou city.
Chen Yixin thought for a while and added: "Let my father-in-law send more eyes and ears to Dengzhou City to watch. If the government wants to get rough, there will definitely be many signs to follow beforehand."
This kind of errand was originally the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but most of the soldiers stationed in Fushan came from the south, and going to Dengzhou City for activities would easily attract attention.So later, he handed over the job of inquiring about information to the Ma family, and sent local people to live in Dengzhou City for a long time, and the information collected was more valuable for reference.
After sending Jiang Sheng away, Chen Yixin got up and walked to the map hanging on the wall to look at it for a long time.If it hadn't been for the imminent start of this winter's "Operation Snow Treading", his attitude might have been tougher, and he would have sent troops to deter him before he even waited for the Dengzhou officials to take a clear offensive.
But for this "snow treading operation", nearly half of Haihan's troops deployed in Fushan County were also transferred to Jinzhou to participate in the battle. The situation in Fukuyama prefecture has changed.
Although Chen Yixin believed that it was unlikely that the Dengzhou officials would take risks, he did not dare to completely rule out that someone would use the name of the so-called court order to make trouble.After much deliberation, he can only transfer a naval fleet stationed in Lushun Port back to Fushan County. Although the warships cannot directly reinforce the Fushan Copper Mine, which is more than 20 miles away from the coastline, they can directly attack Dengzhou City Defense from the sea. When necessary, it can play the role of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.
Compared to going to war with Daming, Chen Yixin of course still hopes to maintain the status quo and keep Fushan County in peace.In addition to the Fushan Copper Mine, the local area has gradually become a sea trade channel for the entire Shandong Peninsula.Almost [-]% of the transactions between the various prefectures in Shandong and Haihan are completed in Fushan County, and Majiazhuang has become a well-known trade center and goods distribution center. It is no longer just a village where the Ma family lives. Gradually it became a town larger in scale than Fukuyama County.
The various auxiliary industries developed around trade in Fushan County, such as accommodation, catering, intermediary, warehousing, transportation, etc., are almost all under the control of the Ma family. The franchise rights of commodities, the revenue in one year is quite considerable, and it is easy to get several 10 taels of silver into the account.
Of course, Ma Dongqiang was not so confused that he monopolized the proceeds, and he sold three of them to his daughter Ma Yuling as a benefit for Chen Yixin.
Although Chen Yixin is not short of money, he will not be so high-minded that he thinks there is too much money in his pocket. Besides, the money was given to his wife by the old man, so it seems inappropriate to refuse, so he acquiesced in Ma Dongqiang's approach. Provide various conveniences for the Ma family within the scope of its ability.If Daming and Haihan go to war in Fushan County, the industries controlled by the Ma family will be directly impacted, and the business achievements of the past few years may even be wiped out.This will inevitably cause huge economic losses to the Ma family and to Chen Yixin.
Chen Yixin comforted Jiang Sheng before that even if the situation in Fushan County deteriorated, there is still a way out, but if he really moved to the south, it would be like letting the Ma family start over from scratch. Not everyone can accept such a gap.Even Chen Yixin himself would not be reconciled to the destruction of all the painstaking efforts he had put in here in the flames of war.
Recalling that it has been more than four years since he entered Fushan County in 1634, but the Dengzhou government has been causing trouble intermittently in the past few years, and Chen Yixin can't help being a little angry.If it weren't for the fact that the current diplomatic relationship with Daming is at the stage of establishing mutual trust, he really wants to send troops to take down Dengzhou City, and then execute all those restless officials, so as to give the people [-] miles away A serious warning for Jinan Prefecture.
But at the moment, it is natural to give priority to the "snow stepping action". Chen Yixin secretly pondered, after the action is over, should he try to find a reason to completely solve this adult disease in Dengzhou.
Putting aside the issue of Fushan County for the time being, Chen Yixin turned his attention back to the Jinzhou Isthmus.In the past two years, there have been fewer and fewer large-scale battles between the two sides, and they have gradually fallen into a long-term confrontation.
After more than two years of continuous renovation and reinforcement, the defense line of the Jinzhou Isthmus controlled by Haihan has changed from an earthen city wall to a defense line with a depth of two miles around three large fortresses and many fortifications. .Even the cavalry of the Qing army, who believed themselves to be invincible in the world, did not dare to easily attack this line of defense full of various traps and heavy firepower fortifications.
The troops deployed by Haihan on this line of defense are probably only one-tenth of the opponent's, which has already played an excellent containment effect.However, this containment is relative, because the opponent has been accumulating heavy troops in the north all year round, Haihan naturally does not dare to relax his vigilance easily, and must always maintain a state of deployment, so as not to leave an opportunity for the opponent to counterattack Golden State.
After seeing Haihan's defensive methods, the Qing army also built a large number of fortresses north of the isthmus line of defense, relying on the Great Black Mountain, to block the route of the Haihan army's northward advance.After the Haihan army tried several offensives, they realized that to break through such a dense fortress, they needed to mobilize a large amount of artillery fire, and such an attack intensity would consume a lot of combat materials, and it was difficult for Haihan to rely on one-time continuous attack. The offensive completely broke through the opponent's defense line, so they simply gave up and continued to advance the front line north.
The longer this confrontation is, the more fortifications on both sides will be repaired, and the more difficult it will be to break through the opponent's defense.Therefore, winter military training operations in previous years generally bypassed the Jinzhou Isthmus and sent troops to the coastline of the enemy-occupied area of the Liaodong Peninsula, rather than launching a frontal offensive against the enemy's fortresses here.
But this year's actions are different. Wang Tom and Qian Tiandun hope to take this opportunity to form an effective attack on the Qing army stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula to see if they can force the Qing army to send elite troops into battle.Therefore, in addition to the harassment war on the Liaodong coastline, Jinzhou must also launch an offensive at the same time as a countermeasure.
This means that it is not enough to just put on a show, and it is necessary to put pressure on the enemy with real swords and guns.
