The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 26 The Second Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty was defeated, and Wang Baobao swelled!
"Why don't you have long eyes when you walk?"

on the street,

A big man with a thick face and a beard was almost knocked to the ground.

After stabilizing his figure, he began to roar and reprimand the middle-aged man who bumped into his shoulder but didn't stop.

But when the middle-aged man looked back at him, he just met his eyes for a moment, and he was immediately scared.

Facts once again proved that even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not wear a dragon robe or armor, but only wore a rich businessman's clothes that symbolized wealth and lowliness, the temperament in his bones was not something ordinary people could bear.

Even a big man with good looks to be an executioner couldn't bear Zhu Yuanzhang's glaring gaze.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang would not care too much about this kind of ordinary people, but after telling him to shut up with his eyes, he continued to walk with wind.

Behind Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang hurriedly followed.

"Master, what's the matter?"

While following, Mao Xiang asked Queen Ma beside him.

Empress Ma didn't answer directly, she just told him to follow him.

In fact, Empress Ma didn't know how to answer Mao Xiang's question for a while.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang came down from the third floor of the gambling house, he started to walk forward without saying a word, and they just followed.

Empress Ma, who had memorized the "Yanmen Business Travel Guide", only knew that her family Chongba was going out of the city, as if they were deliberately taking the two of them out of the city.

In fact, it really is such a thing!

Zhu Yuanzhang is now a powder keg that will explode at one point, but his remaining rationality tells him that there are too many people in the city, and it is not convenient for him to say some cruel words that may expose his identity.

He had to lure Empress Ma and Mao Xiang outside the city, so that he could unscrupulously vent his dissatisfaction with Ye Qing.

Only then can he tell them as the emperor what to do next.

And behind them, the special agent team leader who followed closely, as well as other agents who were responsible for monitoring and rounding up Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, were also shuttling through the crowd while watching them intently.

These agents are all elites in the military, and they are all smart masters!

Coupled with their familiarity with the local area, they knew from the route analysis that the number one suspect, who was highly suspected to be Beiyuan's spy, was heading out of the city.

It was precisely because they knew that he was going straight out of the city that they were a little uncertain about the purpose of the suspect in front of them.

"What's the matter with this man?"

"Judging from his inquiries in [Sai Guifei Clubhouse] and [Yanmen Gambling Square], the purpose can be said to be quite clear. All the things he inquired about were to understand what Lord Ye did."

The captain of the special agent team just narrowed his eyes, and said with deep eyes: "It must be the command of Beiyuan Commander Wang Baobao. He needs to understand Mr. Ye as much as possible. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle!"

"This Wang Baobao really doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. He won a battle by luck and dared to set his sights on my Yanmen Army Town!"

When the agent captain said this, he immediately remembered what happened in recent years.

In the first month of the third year of Hongwu, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered Xu Da, the right prime minister, to be the general who conquered the captives, Li Wenzhong to be the left deputy general, Feng Sheng to be the right deputy general, Deng Yu to be Li Wenzhong's deputy, Tang He to be Feng Sheng's deputy, and sent troops to attack Beiyuan.

In the first Northern Expedition, the Ming army won a complete victory. They drove the Yuan emperor Aiyu Shili Dala who was entrenched in the northeast, and the Yuan general Kuo Kuo Timur who was entrenched in the Shaanxi-Gansu area to the north of Helin. The pressure on the north side of the Ming Dynasty.

But at the beginning of the fifth year of Hongwu, the Beiyuan forces in various places outside the Great Wall became active again after recuperating.

From Kaiyuan in the east to Gansu, northern Ningxia in the west, and various fortresses, they were all under the control of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and they continued to commit provocations in the South.

Only Yanmenguan Junzhen, they dare not invade!

It was mainly the news that Yanmen Guanjun Town gave them, it was too secretive!
Every time the spies are sent, they are like sheep entering the tiger's mouth. There is no return at all, and they can't get any news!
People are like this, because of ignorance, so fear!
Because of fear, they dare not easily offend Yanmen Guanjun Town, which also makes Yanmen County under Ye Qing's jurisdiction a rare and peaceful place in the northern border!
But at the beginning of last year, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty ordered Wei Guogong Xu Da to be the general who conquered captives, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong to be the left deputy general, and Song Guogong Feng Sheng to be the right deputy general. Second Northern Expedition!

It's a pity that this battle was not like a Northern Expedition, where all of them won a complete victory.

Xu Da's main central army was defeated, and Li Wenzhong's east army was evenly matched. Only Feng Sheng's west army won.

In general, the second Northern Expedition ended in failure!
For the Ming army, it was a failure, but for Wang Baobao, who was beaten by Xu Da and fled for so many years, it was a great encouragement.

Perhaps it was because he was lucky enough to defeat Xu Da, which made him a little swollen, and he actually set his mind on Yanmenguan Army Town.

That is, in the past six months, Wang Baobao can be said to have sent no less than a hundred teams of spies into the city.

Don't you, Ye Qing, know how to catch spies?

Then he, Wang Baobao, will give you personal sea tactics!

As long as there is a team of people who successfully find out the news and go back, it will be Wang Baobao's victory!
Based on such a situation, the agents of Yanmen County really would rather catch the wrong one than let it go!

They would rather make a mistake and pay compensation afterwards than let a team of real Beiyuan spies go.

These agents are all from the military elite, they understand the importance of Yanmen Pass!
Once Yanmen Pass is breached, it will not only be the border town that has become rich, that will suffer.

At this very moment,
They followed Zhu Yuanzhang all the way out of the city.

"This person is also strange. It stands to reason that after he gets to know Mr. Ye, he should go back to the hotel to meet his companions!"

"What do you mean by going straight out of the city?"

The secret service leader didn't answer right away, but looked at the rampaging figure, and began to think seriously while following.

Finally, he thought of the purpose of the spy leader.

Obviously, he just wanted to give the next order to his right-hand man outside the city where there were few people, and it was also an order that was not suitable for other followers to know.

I have to say that the captain of the secret service was more than half right.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang left the city at the fastest speed was that besides venting without scruples, he wanted to whisper something to Empress Ma and Mao Xiang that was not suitable for other guards to know.

Once they were outside the city, the agents grew even further away from them.

They just kept a distance where they could only see, but couldn't hear or speak.

There is no way, there are few people outside the city, if you get close, sooner or later you will startle the snake!
Of course, whether they can hear them clearly is not so important now.

After all, they are all people who are going to be arrested!

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped.

Empress Ma followed his gaze and immediately smiled with relief! .
