The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 210 Hidden Pile and Shocking Information

Wang Yue handed over the heavy burden of hoarding military rations to Chang Feng, and Chang Feng did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

In the morning of the next day, Chang Feng came to inspect the granary in the north of Yanchi City again.The main thing is to deploy fire protection.

A total of more than 200 officials, government servants, and folks from Yanchi County assembled in the granary to accept the inspection by Admiral Chang.

Chang Feng took a look and was a little surprised.He asked Lu Gan, "Prefect Lu County, among the 200 people under your command, half of them are not Han Chinese."

Lu Gan replied: "Admiral Chang doesn't know something. Ningxia is a place where Han and Yi live together. There are not only Han people, but also Mongols and Hui people."

"These Mongolians and Hui people have lived in our Han area for many years. They know Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and they also use Daming Tongbao."

"They are extremely loyal to Daming. Half of the officials in Xia County are Mongolians and Muslims."

Chang Feng has always had some grudges against people of other races.If among these people there is the work of the little Tatar prince, the consequences of setting a fire in the granary will be disastrous.

Time is running out, and grain and grass from all over the country will be transported to Yanchi in two days.Chang Feng didn't have the energy to screen out more than 100 officials of different races in the county government one by one.

So Chang Feng said: "Magistrate of Lu County, take your people back to the county government. The guards of the granary will be taken over by the frontier soldiers I brought."

Lu Gan said: "Admiral Chang, the subordinate officials and subordinates also want to help the army go straight to Helan Mountain."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "If you want to contribute, you can bring the officials and the common people to repair the city wall. The granary is in charge of the frontier army."

Speaking of this, Lu Gan could only take people back to the county government.

Fatty Xu asked: "Master Chang, are you worried about these alien races?"

Chang Feng nodded: "If there are one or two Tatar crafts inside, the army rations will be set on fire. You and I can only kill ourselves to thank the world."

Among the [-] frontier troops, the leader is Qiu Yue, the commander of the avant-garde in Ningxia.

This person is in his early thirties.He is a well-known young warrior in the Ningxia frontier army.

Many years later, Qiu Yue's son gave birth to a grandson for him.Because Qiu Yue dreamed of a phoenix on the night of giving birth to his grandson, he named his grandson Qiu Luan. Naturally, these are things for later.

Chang Feng instructed Qiu Yue: "As for Qiu Qian, out of the [-] frontier troops we brought, [-] are responsible for city defense. One thousand are responsible for granary guards and fire prevention."

"Remember, no one is allowed to bring fire pockets into the granary. Lanterns are lit during inspections at night, and the lanterns must be counted. After inspections, they are extinguished one by one."

"The granary is most afraid of fire. We have to cut off the fire."

Qiu Yue cupped his hands: "Obey, Admiral Chang."

Chang Feng went up to the watchtower in the granary again.

He set up an arbor with his hands and looked outside.Suddenly he frowned.

Near the granary, there are densely packed houses.

If there are people with ulterior motives, use rockets tied with rags and kerosene in the residential buildings to shoot at the granary.The granary must be on fire.

The hoarding of military rations is a major event, and it must be foolproof.

Chang Feng went down to the watchtower and ordered a soldier: "Go and call Lu county magistrate back."

Not long after, Lu Gan was called back by the soldiers.

Chang Feng told him: "The houses within half a mile around the granary are all vacated. The people are suffering for the time being. Let them find another place to live."

Lu Gan was stunned: "Dare to ask Admiral Chang, how long do you want the people to leave home?"

Chang Feng replied: "Let's set it for four months temporarily. Each household will be subsidized by ten taels of silver. This money will be paid from the military expenditure of the Tripartite General Yamen."

The admiral of military affairs and the leader of Jinyiwei gave orders, and Lu Gan did not dare to neglect them.Immediately took the servants and went door to door to persuade the people to move out.

Naturally, some elderly people are unwilling to leave their homes.The yamen servants could only forcibly drive them away.

Over there at the granary.Chang Feng patrolled back and forth, carefully looking for any mistakes.

Chang Feng even thought of preventing rats and insects.Strive to be foolproof.

A few days later, the military rations raised from various places were transported to Yanchi City one after another.

Chang Feng carefully checked the quantity and quality of the military rations.

Because the number of fifty shi grains did not match, he even beheaded a Fu Tongzhi who was in charge of escoring grain in Shaanxi.

This is killing chickens and monkeys.

On this day, Chang Feng was sitting in the granary, checking the count with an official from the Hexi Governor's Yamen.

Qiu Yue came over: "Master Chang, there is a strange thing."

Chang Feng asked, "Oh? What's the matter?"

Qiu Yue said: "A Tatar in ragged clothes entered the city. This man is sneaky, asking everywhere where you are, Lord Chang."

"The brothers patrolling the city felt suspicious, so they arrested him."

Chang Feng was puzzled: "Tartar? Inquire about me? How does he know I'm in Yanchi? Bring him to see me."

Not long after, several soldiers brought a Tatar man in his 50s to Chang Feng.

The Tatars knew at a glance that they had traveled a long distance, and there were still wounds from swords and arrows on their bodies, and the blood scars were still fresh.

Chang Feng asked, "Who are you?"

The Tatars directly took out a wooden sign.

There is no lettering or graphics on this wooden sign.The wooden sign is made of willow wood, black and black.

He handed the wooden sign to Chang Feng with both hands.

Chang Feng weighed it in his hand, his expression changed.He said something that didn't make sense: "The tea leaves of Beijing Deyuan are getting worse and worse."

When he said this, Chang Feng looked directly into the Tatar's eyes.

Fatty Xu was at a loss: "Master Chang, what nonsense are you talking about? Deyuan has closed down more than ten years ago."

Chang Feng ignored Fatty Xu.He waited with bated breath for the Tatar's answer.

The Tatar said: "Yes, the tea before the rain has attracted tea bugs."

Chang Feng said again: "The old man has already ridden the yellow crane."

The Tatar answered: "Fireworks will go down to Yangzhou in March."

These two poems are all about the Yellow Crane Tower.But not from the same poem.

The last sentence comes from Cui Hao's "Yellow Crane Tower", and the next sentence comes from Li Bai's "Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling".

Chang Feng was talking to the Tatar about the hidden stake.

Chang Feng grabbed the Tatar's hand: "You are Hei Liu?"

The Tatar cried out: "In Xiajinyiwei South Town Fusi Baihu, Balemengyi, Nansi secretly named Heiliu, meet the Shangguan!"

"Woooooooooo, it's been 36 years! I finally saw the Shangguan of Jinyiwei again!"

Jin Yiwei dispatched a large number of hidden piles on the grassland.

Among them, there are two people with the highest status in the Tatar Ministry.

A secret name (ie code name) "Black Willow".

A dark name "rock".

The identities of these two people are Jin Yiwei's top secret.

Only Chang Feng, Wang Miaoxin, and the late Sun Guishou knew about it.

"Black Willow" Balmengyi has been lurking in the Tatar tribe for 36 years.He has served three Tatar Khans successively.All the way up to Daluhuachi in the Chahar Grassland.

This official position is equivalent to the governor of Zhejiang in the Ming Dynasty.

"Panshi" Hada has been lurking in the Tatar tribe for 31 years.When it came to the little prince's account, there were thousands of households.

These two hidden piles were both sent by Sun Guishou to the grassland more than 30 years ago.Only Sun Guishou had seen them.

Over the years, they have sent important information to Nanzhen Fusi.

Chang Feng respects these hidden stakes who go deep into the tiger's lair regardless of life and death.

He helped Ba Lemeng on the chair: "Why did you come to Yanchi to look for me?"

Ba Lemeng replied: "The little prince has concocted a terrifying conspiracy. He deliberately put on a posture of occupying Helan Mountain."

"Actually, it was a feint. His real target is Datong!"

"The main force of the Tatars near Helan Mountain has already withdrawn after bluffing. Only a few thousand suspects are left behind."

"Near Datong, the little prince has assembled 12 horses. He will invade from Datong, drive straight in, and attack the capital!"

There is a distance of [-] li from Helan Mountain to Datong.

According to what Bale Mengyi said, the little prince played a trick on the Ming army this time.The Ming army's mobilization was completely different!
Now the attention of the entire Ming court is on Helan Mountain in Ningxia.Datong did not notice the enemy at all.Not to mention the whole army is on alert, ready to fight.

Ba Lemeng continued: "I was appointed by the little prince, the commander of the suspected army in Helan Mountain!"

"I saw that our Ming army moved frequently in Ningxia, and knew that the court had been fooled by the little prince. That's why I escaped from the enemy's camp and came here to report to Tong Tong to know you!"

Chang Feng asked, "How did you know I was in Yanchi?"

Balmeng said: "Nanzhen Fusi sent hidden stakes to the Tatar tribe. Similarly, the Tatar tribe also sent hidden stakes to the Ming army."

"It was Tatar who told me that you were in Yanchi!"

Chang Feng patted Ba Lemeng on the shoulder: "For the past 36 years, you have suffered in the den of wolves and tigers."

"This time you brought back such important information. Without saying anything, I will recommend you to the emperor and promote you to be the hereditary commander of the frontier army."

Ba Lemeng said: "I don't care about being an official or not. Under the little prince, I have become Dalu Huachi of the Chahar Grassland."

"If I am obsessed with official positions, I can stay in the Tatar Ministry and be my high-ranking official."

"I fled back to Daming this time for two reasons. One is that I am afraid that the little prince will drive straight in, and Daming will stage an orthodox story."

"The second reason is that I'm homesick! It's been 36 years! My father, mother, and brother are all in the capital. They may not be there anymore."

Speaking of this, Balmeng burst into tears again.

Chang Feng said: "You have traveled a long distance, go down and rest first."

But Balmeng said: "Chang Tongzhi and listen to me! There are more sensational things!"

"Zhang Jian, the commander-in-chief of Datong, has been bribed by the little prince. When the little prince leads an army of 12 troops south to invade the bandits, Zhang Jian will order the frontier troops under his command to let the Datong Pass pass. To lure the captives into the bandits!"

"If the little prince succeeds in rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and restoring the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Jian will be made King of Jin!"

Hearing this, Chang Feng gasped.

Zhang Jian was a famous general in Bianzhen, who had been guarding Datong during the Tianshun, Chenghua, and Hongzhi dynasties.From the official to the governor Tongzhi, the commander-in-chief of Datong, and the general seal of Zhenxi.

Datong's [-] frontier troops are all in Zhang Jian's hands.

If he is a traitor, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!
Fatty Xu was dumbfounded: "Master Chang, this matter is too big! It is related to the survival of Ming Dynasty!"

"You have to inform Wang Zhishuai of the information immediately. Let Wang Zhishuai lead the Northwest Frontier Army to reinforce Datong. Then send someone to Datong to arrest Zhang Jian."

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "It's natural. Hei Liu, you go down and rest first. I'll throw a banquet for you to wash away the dust in the evening."

Balmeng was carried down by several soldiers.

Qiu Yue asked: "Admiral Chang, shall I send someone to report this information to Commander Wang Zhi? Or should you go back to Lingwu and tell him face to face?"

"According to what that hidden post from Jinyiwei said, there is no need to stockpile food in Yanchi."

Fatty Xu said: "Yes, Master Chang. Let's go back to Lingwu immediately?"

Chang Feng remained rational.

He said: "A Tatar came to us and told us two pieces of information. Let's report to the commander-in-chief rashly, and let the commander-in-chief take [-] troops to Datong?"

"Isn't it too hasty to arrest a town commander who has been in Datong for decades?"

Fatty Xu said: "The joint code said, didn't you match up with Hei Liu?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Have you seen him before, or have I seen him before?"

"The only person who saw him, Sun Guishou, has passed away."

"Just based on this set of code words, do we trust him?"

Fatty Xu thought for a while, and asked, "Only An Zhuang himself, you, and Xiao Guoshou know the code word for the connection. Can't it be wrong?"

Chang Feng said: "If, I mean if."

"If Heiliu has done too much in the Tatar side, he can't see the status of Nanzhen Fusi's hundred households. He betrayed Nanzhen Fusi"

"He only needs to send one of his subordinates to pretend to be himself to find us, teach them the secret code, and then bring us false information"

"If so, our [-] frontier army will be led by the Tatars for [-] miles."

"Datong will also lose a famous player."

Fatty Xu stared with a pair of bull's eyes: "Yes. This matter is too big. We can't draw conclusions arbitrarily."

Chang Feng said: "Let's do it this way. Let's set up a game for Hei Liu at night to find out his true identity."

Chang Feng explained to the two of them so and so.

that night.

Chang Feng set up a banquet in the lobby of the county government office where he lived temporarily.

Chang Feng is the host, and "Black Willow" Ba Lemeng is the guest of honor.Fatty Xu, Qiu Yue and Lu Gan accompanied him.

Chang Feng poured the wine for Bal Mengman: "Come on, old man, this glass of wine is your cleansing wine."

"Congratulations on restoring your status as Nanzhen Fusi."

Balmeng said: "Thank you, Chang Tongzhi." Then he drank it all in one gulp.

Chang Feng asked: "You are blind to people's appearance. I don't know when."

Balmeng seemed to know what Chang Feng wanted to ask.He said: "My grandfather was a member of Duoyan Sanwei's Hundred Households. Back then, he had a hard time going south with Grandpa Taizong."

"After the capital was moved, my grandfather took the whole family to settle in the capital. Don't look at me as a Mongolian, I am a native of the old capital."

"Later, because I was the son of a military veteran, I was selected into Jinyiwei. Sun Guishou, a thousand households, took a fancy to my Mongolian appearance and sent me to hide in the Tatar tribe."

Balmeng's answer was impeccable.

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "Oh, that's how it is."

"This time you brought us such important information. You almost saved the court! You have another 36 years of lurking in the enemy camp."

"I think the emperor will reward you a lot."

At this moment, a group of men in black rushed into the Hou Ya with grassland scimitars.

When Chang Feng and the others first entered the table, he told Lu Gan that the guarding of the granary is very important.Let him send all the county government servants to the granary.

At the moment, there is not a single guard in the Houya dining room!
There are seven to eighty people in this group of men in black.Surrounded Chang Feng and others.

They didn't have black veils to cover their faces, they were all cloaked.

The leader, the short and fat man in black, said to his companions in Mongolian: "We caught a few big fish this time!"

Fatty Xu pulled out his waist knife to resist.Immediately there were three or four scimitars across his neck.

Chang Feng said to Fatty Xu: "A good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses. Don't act rashly!"

Fatty Xu lamented: "Ah! I have been a hero for my whole life. I have beaten wolves in Nanshan, tigers in Beishan, and caught hedgehogs in pumpkin fields."

"I didn't expect that today the gutter capsized and fell into the hands of Beilu!"
