Smuggling Daming

Ever since Huang Yongfa planned to surrender to the court, he had already anticipated today's situation, so he turned a blind eye to Wang Dengku and others who were glaring at him behind him, but answered Zhengde's question flatteringly: "General Qi, the whole world The only person who can ask Jin Yiwei to assist and call himself a general is General Jiang Binjiang, the villain has admired the general for a long time, but it is a pity that he has never had the opportunity to ask to see him, today he finally saw the general's supernatural power."

Huang Yongfa deserves to be a businessman. He only said that Jin Yiwei was assisting Zhengde, not Zhengde commanding Jinyiwei. He was worried that if he said this, he would make Qian Ning next to him unhappy. After all, when it comes to official positions, Qian Ning is no better than Jiang Bin is low, but Qian Ning has fallen out of favor, and now the most favored minister is Jiang Bin.

Hearing Huang Yongfa's analysis, Zhengde also laughed out loud. He didn't expect that Huang Yongfa would misunderstand his identity by calling himself a general. However, the other party's analysis was indeed very reasonable. The whole world can command Qian Ning, the commander of Jinyiwei. I am afraid that there is only Qian Ning in the general.

"Hahahaha, although you guessed wrong, the old man made a very reasonable analysis. I will spare the lives of you and your family today, but all your property will be confiscated." Zhengde laughed and said, At the same time, he also pointed out his identity in the words.

When Huang Yongfa heard that the lives of himself and his family were finally saved, he was also ecstatic at the moment, but soon he felt something was wrong, because he heard that the young general in front of him called himself "Zhen" again, which is a title that only His Majesty can use , others will be beheaded if they use it, and this young man can direct Qian Ning to do things.Then there is no need to doubt his identity.

Think here.Huang Yongfa's legs also went limp.Kneeling down on the ground and shouting "Long live" to Zhengde, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku and others behind him were also shocked and terrified, especially Wang Dayu who was going to scold Zhengde just now, his face was ashen at this moment, no matter what Whether it is the crime he committed before, or the crime of colliding with the holy car just now, he is dead today.

"Your Majesty, the eight major Shanxi merchants are already here. In addition, their family members have also been detained. Please tell Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Seeing that Zhengde had revealed his identity, Qian Ning also stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"Send the eight of them and their family members, as well as the evidence of the crimes they found, to the capital. The second brother will naturally deal with it. Huang Yongfa can be considered a crime and meritorious service this time, and I have promised to spare your family's life before, so you Of course nothing will happen, but this time you still have to go to the capital together. When you arrive in the capital, you can be a witness to point out the crimes of Fan Yongdou and others. Then I will write a letter to King Zhao, and the court will definitely not make things difficult for your family!" At first, Zhengde confessed to Qian Ning, but finally turned to Huang Yongfa.

Huang Yongfa also knew that although he had committed crimes and meritorious deeds, what he committed in the past was a major crime of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. Even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't get rid of this kind of crime with a single sentence. Finally, it also depends on his next performance. Only if he actively testifies and proves the charges against Fan Yongdou and others, then their family can be released faster.

The arrest of the eight major Shanxi merchants should be regarded as an event of great historical significance for the entire Ming Dynasty, because it marked that a group of organized traitorous groups were suppressed by the Ming Dynasty. Although the Tatar dynasty on the grassland can trade with the Ming court , but the commodities obtained are only daily necessities such as salt and tea. As for strategic materials such as weapons and armor, it is impossible to obtain them as easily as before.

However, Zhengde didn't take this matter to heart, because in his opinion, even if the Shanxi Merchants Group secretly provided weapons, the little Tatar prince was still not his opponent, and he even hoped that his opponent would not be too weak Otherwise, it would be too boring. For example, this time he was going to Liaodong to command the battle against the three guards of Duoyan. He very much hoped that the three guards of Duoyan could be tougher, so that he could have more opportunities to practice on the battlefield.

It was also because of the eagerness to fight, so after Zhengde finished handling the affairs of the eight major Shanxi merchants, he immediately rushed to Xifengkou with the frontier troops from Datong, Ningxia and other places that had gathered in Xuanfu, where Ningxia, Datong and other places had already gathered The mobilized army is only waiting for the arrival of the commander-in-chief Zhengde, and they can dispatch Duoyan Sanwei.

Speaking of the situation in Liaodong these years, the situation of Ming Dynasty is also a mess. When Ming Chengzu launched the Battle of Jingnan, he offered 70 cavalry to the Duoyan Sanwei. It's a pity that Da Ming didn't admit it later, and didn't allow Duoyan Sanwei to go to Daning to graze. As a result, this triggered a war between Da Ming and Duoyan Sanwei. At the beginning, Duoyan Sanwei was beaten badly, but they never gave in. , From time to time, they went south to knock on the pass. Until six or seventy years ago, the border defenses of Daming were lax.

It was also the strength of the Duoyan Sanwei that made the Liaodong capital of the Ming Dynasty completely squeezed to the Liaodong Peninsula.However, the Duoyan Sanwei are different from the Tatars. Although they will often go south to plunder, they are more willing to do business with Daming. The two sides have established fixed border markets in Kaiyuan and Guangning to exchange what they have. A considerable part of the horses were obtained from the trade with Duoyan Sanwei.

Among the three guards of Duoyan, Tainingwei was originally the strongest, followed by Funingwei, and Duoyanwei was the last, but as time went by, Duoyanwei slowly came from behind, surpassing Tainingwei and Funingwei in one fell swoop The guards became the most powerful of the three guards, and it was precisely because of this that Daming called them Duoyan Sanwei. As for the original name, it gradually disappeared.

In the past, the Duoyan Sanwei were stationed in the upper reaches of the Songhua River, but with the abnormal climate, the winter on the grassland was getting colder and colder, so they slowly migrated south, which is why they did not hesitate to fight with Daming for decades the main reason.

The south of the Xilamulun River and Liaohe River, starting from Kaiyuan in the east, and outside the Great Wall near Xuanfu in the west, all belong to the sphere of influence of the three guards of Duoyan. Among them, the strongest Duoyan Guard is mainly from Daning to Xifengkou, which is relatively close Activities in the area of ​​Xuanfu, and from Jinzhou, Liaoning to Liaohe area, is the scope of activities of Taining Guard, as for Funing Guard, it is mainly active in Shenyang, Tieling to Kaiyuan area, it can be said that the later generations of northern Hebei , and the western part of Liaoning are all occupied.

However, the terrain of the three guards of Duoyan also has disadvantages, that is, their south and east are both Ming Dynasty, if Da Ming wants to attack them, he can directly attack from two sides, then the three guards of Duoyan will be difficult to look after each other, and it is very likely that they will be beaten by Daming fiasco.It's just that in the past, Daming could barely protect himself and had no energy left to attack, so Duoyan Sanwei never considered this aspect.

It's a pity that the current situation is completely different. In just a few years, Daming relied on the stimulation of maritime trade, coupled with the development of industry and commerce, which made the entire Daming country rich and strong, and the army's equipment was also replaced. The military pay made the frontier army extremely powerful. Even the Liaodong Guard, who had always been intimidated by the Duoyan Sanwei, had begun to become tough in the past two years. There were several small frictions between the two sides, and no one was able to take advantage.

Zhengde mobilized Xuanfu, Ningxia, Datong and other frontier troops to concentrate in the Xifengkou area, and took the most powerful Duoyanwei as their strategic target, while Liaodongwei gathered all the troops. The [-] servants who came here took Taining Guard as their strategic target, and prepared to attack from east to west. If the battle goes well, the two armies of Daming will meet under Daning City.

Daming increased troops in two directions, which naturally aroused the tension of Duoyan Sanwei, especially before the frontier army of Daming defeated the little Tatar prince several times, which made Duoyan Sanwei, who had always been attached to Tatar, also feel nervous. I was apprehensive, afraid that Da Ming would cause trouble for me, but in the end, I was afraid of what would happen. Da Ming is now increasing troops from two directions, and according to the information they obtained from their inquiries, this time Da Ming mobilized an astonishing 15 troops. It is to exterminate them!

Among the three guards of Duoyan, Duoyan Guard is the most powerful. The leader of Duoyan Guard this time is named Huadang. , they will depend on whichever side is stronger, and they have made a lot of money in the end, but now that Daming has beaten the Tatars so hard that they dare not go south, the first unlucky ones will be their wall-scratchers.

However, although Duoyanwei's strength is strong, the three Duoyanweis are still Mongolians in essence, and they are still gathered together in a tribal situation. For example, their Duoyanwei is actually a tribal alliance, except for the big tribes he directly belongs to. , and there are countless small and medium-sized tribes.

The situation of Tainingwei and Funingwei is also the same. Tainingwei can only be attached to Duoyanwei because of its weak strength, but Funingwei is not under the jurisdiction of Duoyanwei, and Daming is only a member of the Duoyanwei this time. He aimed at Duoyanwei and Tainingwei. As for Funingwei, which was located to the north, Da Ming had no time to take care of it.In addition, the relationship between Duoyanwei and Funingwei is not harmonious, and the two sides also have conflicts from time to time. This time when Daming sent 15 troops to attack them, I am afraid that Funingwei would not dare to send troops at all, so in the end the only thing Daming has to deal with is Duoyanwei and Tainingwei.

Hua Dang, the leader of the Duoyan Guard, also sees the above situations very clearly, and he also knows that it is impossible to block the powerful Ming army with only his Duoyan Guard and the Taining Guard next to him. So there are only two paths before him, the first is to surrender, and the second is to escape. (To be continued..)
