Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

After sending Grimou away, Chang Binggong called his butler.

The housekeeper bowed respectfully to Chang Binggong, and then asked.

"Master called me here, but what are your orders?"

Chang Binggong heard the words, stretched out two fingers and said.

"First, send someone to keep an eye on Grimou and don't let him leave the sight of our people."

"If he does anything strange, come and report it to the master immediately. I will know."

When the steward heard this, he immediately bowed down.

"The villain understands."

Seeing this, Chang Binggong continued.

"Second, immediately prepare carriages and horses for me. I will go to the county government office in person to pay a visit to the magistrate..."

When the housekeeper heard this, he spoke with an obviously surprised expression.

"Has the master made a decision?"

When Chang Binggong and Grimou met just now, the housekeeper was guarding outside the study, so he naturally knew what the two talked about.

That's why he was surprised.

The price offered by the coalition forces is not low. Yongxuan, the head of the country, can give him a title, and the trade of the Chechen Khan tribe can be monopolized by his Chang family...

However, Chang Binggong sent Grimou off before going to report to the official. This was too decisive.

There was really no hesitation at all!

Chang Binggong glanced sideways at his butler, and then spoke.

"In today's world, the Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and the general trend has been achieved."

"No matter how hard Yongxuan works, he can only survive. Just like duckweed on the water, a small storm might wipe him out."

"No matter how many benefits they have promised me, they may not be able to fulfill them. That's another matter."

"There's no need for me to gamble with the lives of hundreds of members of my Chang family for such a few benefits that may not be realized, right?"

"The roots of my Chang family are in Shanxi, in Guan Nei, so I can't afford to gamble."

As a businessman, Chang Binggong may not have much else, but his vision and determination are certainly good.

No matter how brainless he is, he still understands the principle of standing on the side of the winner.

The butler on the side heard this and bowed.

"The master is wise!"

Chang Binggong took a deep breath and then spoke.

"I hope the imperial court can regain the grassland as soon as possible and then resume trade outside the customs..."

After saying that, Chang Binggong simply packed up and walked out the door, heading towards the county government office.

Soon, he arrived at the county government office and handed in a greeting card to his disciples.

The doorman responded and went to deliver the invitation. Soon, he came out again and welcomed Chang Binggong in.

"Mr. Chang, come with me. Your Excellency is waiting for you in the county government hall."

Chang Binggong nodded, followed Menzi into the county government office, and was taken all the way to the lobby.

In the lobby of the county government office, a middle-aged man wearing civil official robes sat behind a major case with a serious look on his face.

It was Huo Chunhai, the county magistrate.

And in the lower position of the county magistrate, sitting impressively was a hundred-household official with a royal guard.

Chang Binggong also knew this person. He was Wang Qing, the chief officer of the Jinyi Guard stationed in Yuci. He was a veteran and was very loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

This Wang Baihu official was wearing a uniform and an embroidered spring knife on his waist. Even though he was just sitting there, he made people feel the majesty coming towards him.

Of course, this so-called uniform is not a flying fish uniform.

In fact, the Feiyu uniform is not exclusive to Jin Yiwei at all, but is a uniform given by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to his generals.

There are probably only high-level officials like commanders, commanders, and commanders among the Jinyi Guards.

Don't even think about it.

However, after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jingyan designed a set of uniforms specifically for the Jinyiwei.

The overall style is based on the flying fish suit, but the color tone is mainly pure black, but there is no flying fish tattoo.

Only a sacred flying eagle is embroidered on the chest and back, indicating that they are royal eagle dogs, responsible for monitoring the world on behalf of the court.

Well, a good-looking uniform can usually greatly unite the hearts of the team.

Seeing Chang Binggong walking into the lobby of the county government office, this member of the Jin Yiwei family turned around and said meaningfully to him.

"Fortunately, shopkeeper Chang came in time."

"If the shopkeeper comes a little later, I, the Jin Yiwei, will come to invite the shopkeeper to the imperial prison as a guest."

When Chang Binggong heard this, a clear layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

My heart was filled with fear and fear.

Now he was extremely grateful that he had just made the right choice, otherwise, his whole family might really be in danger.

Judging from the meaning of Wang Baihu's words, the court may have already known about Grimou's arrival in Yuci.

Jinyiwei is really scary!
Taking a deep breath, Chang Binggong said with a righteous face.

"Wang Baihu was joking. Although Chang is a merchant, he is also loyal to the court and has no rebellious intentions."

"No, Chang just finished talking to the magistrate and came to report to the magistrate."

Wang Qing just nodded and said after hearing this.

"That's good!"

Huo Chunhai, the county magistrate on the side, laughed when he saw this.

"I am very pleased that this county can have such a sensible and sensible businessman like Shopkeeper Chang." "This time Shopkeeper Chang's report has been meritorious, and then the county will report it to the government and the court. I think the court will not hesitate to praise the Chang family." reward."

It is impossible for everyone in a county to sing blackface, since Wang Qing, a guard in uniform, sang blackface to intimidate Chang Binggong.

As a county magistrate, he naturally played a sweet role and appeased Chang Binggong.

Seeing this, Chang Binggong clasped his fists in gratitude and said.

"The common people would like to thank the Lord County Lord!"

He may not be unaware of the big stick and sweet jujube method played between the magistrate and Jinyiwei Baihu, but even if he knows, he is quite happy with it.

After saying this, Chang Binggong turned to Wang Qing and said.

"Master Baihu, do you want to arrange a detailed arrest?"

"The detailed work is now at Cao Min's home, and Cao Min is willing to fully cooperate with the imperial court."

Chang Binggong couldn't wait to take advantage of this achievement.

When Wang Qing heard this, he did not agree immediately, but spoke.

"Shopkeeper Chang, don't be anxious."

"It's your fault, you can't run away."

"It's just that I don't have the idea of ​​arresting Na Xizuo yet. Shopkeeper Lao Chang will go back and continue to work with Na Xizuo..."

In fact, before the coalition forces had time to send agents to enter the customs, Ming Dynasty received the corresponding news.

Well, the news was revealed to Daming by someone within the coalition forces.

Obviously, after the stalemate in the Battle of Suiyuan City, some people within the coalition lost confidence in victory and began to plot their own way out.

I was thinking about turning myself in and committing adultery!
Then, Ming Dynasty began to send people to keep a close eye on the Great Wall, and in the process, a large number of traces of detailed work were discovered.

However, Ming Dynasty did not directly arrest those craftsmen. Instead, he chose to indulge the craftsmen's activities and then lured the coalition forces into the pass.

Prepare to play hard to get and beat the dog behind closed doors.

What Zhu Jing'an wants to do now is not to simply defeat or defeat the coalition forces of Tsarist Russia and Mongolia. That is not difficult for Ming Dynasty.

Instead, I want to severely damage it, or even completely annihilate it.

This is the really tricky thing.

Because only after the Ming Dynasty severely damaged the main forces of the various Mongolian tribes, could they calmly expedition north to the grassland and then control the entire grassland.

Otherwise, even if the Ming Dynasty launches the Northern Expedition in the future, there is a high probability that he will go to the grasslands to hide and seek with the Mongolian tribes like Zhu Di.

It is difficult to achieve actual results, let alone actual control of the grassland.

Compared with annihilating the Mongolian cavalry on the vast prairie, it is obviously easier to put the Mongolian cavalry into the mountains of Shanxi and annihilate it.

Because, on the grassland, the Mongols can't be beaten but they can run away.

The Ming army really had no good way to deal with them.

But in Shanxi, that's not something the Mongolians can just run away if they want.

Based on the topography of mountains and rivers inside and outside Shanxi, as long as the Ming Dynasty sends troops to block several important passes, the Mongols will be shut down and beaten.

Hearing this, Chang Binggong seemed to realize something and asked cautiously.

"Then what exactly should the grassroots do?"

Wang Qing said with a cold face.

"Then if Xizuo wants you to do something, you might as well agree first, and then report the news to me."

"When the time comes, I will tell you what to do next."

The magistrate on the side said with a smile.

"If Shopkeeper Chang can do this well and make great contributions, I won't mind going to the court to recommend you Chang family members as officials..."

The Chinese people of this era are obsessed with official positions, but their attachment to the land does not lie at all.

Because in today's official-based society, it's useless just to have money. You have to have power to keep your money.

The Chang family had natural backers in the court before. The Chang family's nephews and many of the officials they supported were in high positions.

Even the head of the family, Chang Binggong, had the honor of being honored by the Qing Dynasty.

However, after a major change between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all this came to nothing.

This makes the magistrate's promise even more valuable!

Because Chang Binggong knew that the magistrate's promise not only represented the magistrate, but also represented an attitude of the Ming Dynasty court.

An attitude that is willing to accept their Chang family as members of the ruling class.

Chang Binggong took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and spoke.

"Two adults, please rest assured. The grassroots people promise to arrange this matter properly and not disappoint the court."

"..."

……

Outside the Pass, Suiyuan City!

Huang Wei was originally inspecting military affairs in the city when he suddenly received an urgent report from an observer on a hot-air balloon that the enemy troops seemed to be preparing to evacuate.

At that moment, without any hesitation, he immediately ended the work at hand and led people to the top of Suiyuan City to start looking out.

Through the telescope, he saw strange movements in the enemy camp.

Groups of Mongolian cavalry and Tsarist Russian troops left the camp and headed north, seemingly preparing to withdraw.

"Master, it seems that the Tatar is trying to escape. Give me the order. Let's catch up and kill him."

"Yes, Master, Suiyuan City has been besieged for such a long time, and the brothers are all feeling angry. Please give the order."

"Yes, I have been surrounding Suiyuan for such a long time, but now I can leave whenever I want. Do you really think that I, Daming, are easy to bully?" (End of Chapter)
