Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 392 The mantis stalks the cicada

Tongzhou, as an important place for northern water transportation, and its special geographical location, close to the capital, the first city of the Ming Dynasty, is destined to be prosperous.

Even if something happens and a group of old forces are captured and killed, after a short period of silence in Tongzhou, new groups will be added. This is the unique siphon effect of the capital.

As long as there are people and order remains stable for a long time, class will be everywhere. This cannot be killed by individual will.

The solidification of classes in the Ming Dynasty, which has been inherited for more than two hundred years by Guo Zuo, is difficult to break in a sense. If you want to reopen the controlled promotion channels, you need to support emerging fields with a certain size and prospects, but this It also takes a long time to settle.

"Fan Yongdou, this old fox, obviously knows what happened under Shandong."

In a secret courtyard, Tong Yangxing leaned on the official hat chair and snorted coldly with evil eyes: "I'm afraid that this thief has secretly left for Shandong at this time. Who does he think he is? Wants me to go to Shandong as soon as possible? It’s just a lost dog, it’s really abominable!”

As one of the leaders of Jianlu Hidden Stake, Tong Yangxing has been doing business in Liao for a long time, and his sense of smell for danger signals is extremely sensitive.

Especially in the past few days, a large number of Jinyiwei Banner School secretly left Beijing. Although many of them were well disguised, there were still many traces of the secret agents under Tong Yangxing's command.

The struggle and game on the hidden front are very much like hunting in a dangerous area. Until the last moment, you don't know who is the hunter and who is the prey.

If you dare to make any omissions, the consequences will be extremely tragic!

"What do you mean, do you mean that I will ignore you?"

Tong Yangzhen, who was sitting next to him, picked up the tea cup with a calm expression, opened the lid, and blew the floating tea leaves. The corresponding situation has not been communicated to outside the customs, and even the things that the master asked me to do, there has been no improvement so far. "

Tong Yangxing's face turned ugly.

What he said just now was completely different from what he was thinking. The reason why he said that was simply because he was embarrassed and annoyed by Fan Yongdou leading the way.

In Tong Yangxing's eyes, perhaps the Fan family is still in its heyday and can be regarded as a servant useful to Dai Jin. Moreover, this servant is not ordinary greedy, but for Dai Jin's plan, be greedy. After all, his master is also greedy. Not much else was said.

But now?

The Shanxi merchants headed by the Fan family were all taken away by the factory guards of the Ming court, and he, Fan Yongdou, was nothing more than a lost dog. Why could he do whatever he wanted?

"Although before this, a large number of Jinyiwei banner schools secretly left Beijing, even disguised themselves under various identities, but based on the information we have learned, the place where Jinyiwei will gather may also be Shandong."

Seeing what Tong Yangxing was thinking, Tong Yangzhen did not expose it, but said to himself, "Now Fan Yongdou is also going to Shandong. Do you think there are few secrets hidden in Shandong? It's just some places. Is it as simple as suffering from a disaster?”

"You mean... maybe there are other things going on in Shandong?"

Tong Yangxing raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Tong Yangzhen who was drinking tea, "But what could happen that would make Jin Yiwei in Beijing and even Fan Yongdou want to go to Shandong?"

"I don't know about this either."

Tong Yangzhen shook his head and said: "But I know one thing better. If something attracts much attention and is deliberately ignored on the surface, there must be something big hidden."

For things like the remnants of the White Lotus, the Jin Yiwei spied on the corresponding information and Fan Yongdou noticed something, but it does not mean that other groups will definitely know about it.

This is the information gap. In the final analysis, Jianlu's hidden stakes of lurking into the Ming Dynasty may have taken root in some places, but more often they are exerting force in areas where they want to obtain intelligence.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is so vast, and there are so many problems hidden within it that even most people in the central court may not be aware of them all, let alone the hidden dangers condemned by some rebel forces?

During the reign of Nurhaci, the Jianlu above were more interested in seizing part of the territory of Liaodong and intimidating and conquering the surrounding tribes. As for swallowing up the entire Liaodong, or even breaking into Shanhaiguan, perhaps Nurhaci thought deep in his heart Yes, but the deterrence inherited from the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years will definitely scare Nurhachi.

Ambition must be supported by strength.

The victory or defeat of the Liaozuo War not only brought a lot to the Ming Dynasty, but also caused a lot of losses to the Jianlu side. For example, the previous victory in the Battle of Saarhu had a big impact on the arrogance that had developed in their hearts.

The vast Ming Dynasty could withstand defeats in battles, even if it lost many elite men and even lost a large amount of territory, but could the Eight Banners, which was vast and sparsely populated, be able to withstand it?

The answer is obvious.

No!

"According to your wishes, we are going to Shandong secretly?" Tong Yangxing, who had been pondering for a long time, frowned and looked up at Tong Yangzhen and said.

"But if we really want to rush to Shandong, if we run into the Jinyiwei who are secretly going there, we won't even have a chance to mediate. Even if there are many of our people hiding in Denglai, once we are targeted by the Jinyiwei , even if you want to escape by boat across the sea, I'm afraid..."

Tong Yangzhen put down the tea cup and interrupted what Tong Yangxing was saying, "Someone just wants to stay here and wants to disrupt the capital and the capital, and then overwhelm the Ming court. With the few manpower we have, the chance is slim. "

"But if we go to Shandong, the situation will be different. If we can really disrupt Shandong, it may cause chaos to the water transportation that the Ming court attaches great importance to. If we can really do this, I'm afraid the Ming court will suffer a lot of losses!"

Tong Yangxing is somewhat moved.

"Besides, if we really go to Shandong, even if we get in touch with Fan Yongdou, there is no need to come forward in person." Tong Yangzhen said with a slight smile.

"We can do what Fan Yongdou can do. Even if something goes wrong during the process, we will still have the opportunity to make other plans."

Yes!

Tong Yangxing's eyes lit up. They were in the dark right now. Even if there were a large number of Jin Yiwei under Shandong's rule, it didn't mean they would be discovered.

Even if the luck is really bad and the Jin Yiwei notice something, then they can take advantage of the chaos. Maybe Denglai can't leave, so go south! !

You must know that under the rule of the southeastern provinces, there are many forces that secretly smuggle and sell to Liaodong by sea!

"In that case, we will go to Shandong."

Tong Yangxing, who had thought these things through, said with determination in his eyes: "No matter what happens this time, Shandong must be disrupted. Once this success is achieved, my status in Daikin will definitely be improved!!"
