Q: What should I do if I provoke a big guy I can't mess with?

I don't know what the others will do, but Mai Duo, who can't steal chickens and eat a handful of rice, knows very well in his heart that if he doesn't run away quickly, the big guy who can't afford to mess with him will definitely send someone to kill him.

After touching the ashes under the border city, Mai Duo immediately fled north, intending to stay away from both Tatar and Warat, so as not to be captured by these two bastards who betrayed the Immortal Heaven in exchange for silver.

He ran for several days, and it was not until the small tribal leaders who followed him began to complain that Mai Duo had to stop and recuperate.

Liu Shaochong, who had also been running with Mai Duo for several days, was also a little wilted, and his body was about to be shaken apart, making him look like he didn't have much energy.

Decades of rich life have made Liu Shaochong lose the ruthlessness of entering the palace when he was clean, if it were not for the belief in avenging his younger brother, I am afraid that Liu Shaochong would have collapsed long ago.

Looking at Liu Shaochong, who was rubbing his old waist vigorously, the anger in Mai Duo's heart surged up in bursts, if he didn't know that he still had to rely on this dead eunuch, Mai Duo would have pulled out a knife, and then stabbed this bastard half to death with a knife, and then tied him behind the horse's tail and dragged him to death!

glared at Liu Shaochong hatefully, and Mai Duo spoke: "What now?" ”

Liu Shaochong said: "According to our family's understanding of the Ming Emperor, I am afraid that the army that will pursue and kill us has been assembled, and it is estimated that it will not take a few days to reach the border city." In other words, we will not only face the pursuit of the Tatars, but also the pursuit of the Ming army. ”

Mai Duo frowned and said, "Don't challenge my patience. If you want, I will try my best to give it to you, including the head you want for Yang Shaofeng, and I have helped you.

But you also have to know that the reason why I have kept you until now is that I hope you can work for me and revive the glory of Dayuan, instead of talking nonsense here that is useless. ”

After sneering, Mai Duo continued: "If you don't have any good way, I may be able to hand you over to that Ming Dynasty Yang Madman, and then retreat to Mobei." ”

Liu Shaochong also frowned and said: "Our family is just telling the truth, if the Great Khan is not willing to listen, then I have no good way." However, it is not impossible to solve the problem at hand. ”

Seeing that Mai Duo's face was still not good, Liu Shaochong no longer sold Guanzi, but directly said his plan: "Before our family came to the grassland, we heard the news that the Turpan envoy Ma Heimu and others were going to return to the country, which was an excellent opportunity for the Great Khan. ”

Mai Duo sneered and said, "The last time you besieged the border city, you said it was also an excellent opportunity, but what about later? ”

Liu Shaochong said: "Last time, I originally said that I would divide the troops into two routes, and first send a partial division to attack Xinghe Fort disguised as horse bandits, so as to lead out the defenders of the border city, but the Great Khan himself was unwilling.

Even so, if it weren't for the fact that those who entered the city later were too anxious, how could they let the Ming army find out that something was wrong, and how could it lead to the failure of the plan? Now the Great Khan is going to blame me? ”

Mai Duo, whose face was uncertain, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "These things have already passed, and it is not interesting to talk about them now." Just say this time, what does the return of the envoys of Turpan have to do with us? ”

Seeing that Mai Duo quietly pulled himself into the camp of the so-called Great Yuan Empire, Liu Shaochong sneered in his heart and then spoke directly: "With the two hunting dogs of Tatar and Warat leading the way, it is estimated that the Ming army will be able to bite us soon, even if we go all the way north, it is estimated that they will be able to chase after us."

Instead of being slowly caught up by them, it is better for us to take the initiative to go west, not only to have an explanation to the leaders of those small tribes, but also to find an opportunity to rob and kill Ma Heimu and his party, and then frame that Yang Madness, just killing two birds with one stone. ”

Mai Duo frowned and said: "Even if Ma Heimu and the others go to the grassland, there should be cavalry escorts, let's intercept and kill them in such a righteous and bright way, can we do it?" ”

Liu Shaochong smiled sadly: "As long as the people are dead, this wind and sand will cover everything, as long as we spread the news that he did it, then he did it, what else can Turpan send someone to find out?"

Think about the swords we picked up under the border city at the beginning, as long as you throw a few pieces casually, the things with the number of the Ming craftsmen on them can nail this thing to death, and when the time comes, he Yang Yang will not be able to wash even if he has hundreds of mouths! ”

After being silent for a long time, Mai Duo spoke: "I will believe you again, if it is not successful this time, I will let you know what life is better than death!" ”

Liu Shaochong sneered: "As long as the Great Khan can act according to the plan, our family can guarantee that there will be no problems." But if the same situation happens again like the last time we won the door, then there is nothing we can do. ”

……

Zhu Gaoxu had a headache, Mai Duo's dog ran away without a trace, even the best knight in the Tatar Department was led astray by the messy traces, and it took more than ten days to find the trace of Mai Duo's department - not to the north, but all the way to the west.

was sent by Arutai to follow as a guide, and by the way, he found Zhu Gaoxu in charge of the detachment platform of the three thousand enlisted troops, and considered: "Looking at the signs now, Mai Duo's department is all the way to the west, but there is no way to judge where their purpose is. ”

Zhu Gaochu took the map drawn out by the defirement platform, and compared the direction of Mai Duo's department on the map for a long time, and then Zhu Gaochu frowned and said, "Are they going to Juyanhai?" ”

The detorching table nodded and said, "Look at the way it looks now, it should be." After Juyanhai and then Jinshan, they can directly reach Yili Li, and then they can directly enter the Western Regions, and then we really can't pursue anymore. ”

Fuck it!

After scolding in his heart, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly wrote a letter, instructing his soldiers to go to the border city before turning over and saying to the defirement platform: "You lead the way in front, this time you have to catch up with Mai Duo no matter what, otherwise it will be really troublesome." ”

Seeing that what Zhu Gaoxu said was serious, the defirement platform also turned pale, turned over and arched his hand towards Zhu Gaoxu, and directly chased after the traces left by Mai Duo.

Zhu Gaochu didn't know why a dead eunuch who defected could know the route of the Turpan envoy's return to China, let alone what was involved, but Zhu Gaochu knew very well in his heart that if he really let the dead eunuch lead someone to kill the Turpan envoy, then the fun would be great.

Da Ming is not worried about what will happen to Turpan, but he can't afford to lose this person!

Yang Shaofeng, who also got the news, was also a little confused.

Yang Shaofeng didn't know about the return of the envoys from Turpan at all, and it was even more impossible to know their route, but a dead eunuch who defected to the Maiduo Ministry could know?

Ji Gang said with a gloomy face: "Obviously, there is a line that we don't know about connecting that traitor." Oh, that's interestingly tight. ”

Feeling that he was provoked, Ji Gang's fingers were a little white - daring to do these things under the nose of Jin Yiwei, it was clear that he didn't take Jin Yiwei in his eyes, or in other words, he didn't take Da Ming in his eyes at all!

Taking a deep breath, Ji Gang arched his hand towards Yang Shaofeng and said: "Now that this matter has been involved so much, I can't stay in the border city anymore, Ji Mou will go back to Beijing and check who is involved!" ”

Yang Shaofeng sighed helplessly and said, "Do you still have to think about it?" Since this dead eunuch can slip from Datong to the grassland, the border guard post on Datong needs to be checked. When it comes to the time and route of the envoy's return, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple also need to check.

In my opinion, the other party has no intention of concealing it at all, but is betting that you will not dare to continue to investigate - from Bian here to the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, if you really investigate all the way, I don't know how many people and things will be involved. ”

Ji Gang sneered and said: "Whether to continue to investigate, I Ji Gang said it doesn't count, you don't count what you said, Your Majesty said it, as long as Your Majesty doesn't tell me to stop, then Jinyiwei will definitely follow this line to investigate, no matter who is involved."

Don't forget, in the last Linqing corruption case, the number of people implicated in the end was not ten or eight, but more than 20,000 people. ”

Facing the confident Ji Gang, Yang Shaofeng no longer persuaded him, but prepared some good wine for Ji Gang to bring.

Yang Shaofeng also wanted to know, although he said that he had offended a lot of people, but what kind of person had such a great ability to send people to the grassland and keep delivering news to the grassland.

It's just that this matter has now been taken over by Ji Gang, and Yang Shaofeng has no way to interfere anymore, so he can only put his mind on the border city.

It is now February of the fourteenth year of Yongle, and it has been a full year since he crossed over to Daming, and the border city that has been there for almost half a year is growing up little by little, just like his own children.

It's time to thoroughly calculate the autumn tax of Yongle in the thirteenth year, and then estimate the spring tax in the fourteenth year of Yongle with Qi Mutang and Liang Jinglun.

According to Yang Shaofeng's estimates, in the past few months, the commercial tax brought by the trade of cattle and sheep, salt and iron, tea, wine, etc., has reached more than 100,000 taels.

You must know that the commercial tax of the entire Yongle Twelve may be less than 20 million taels, which is still the addition of all the commercial taxes of the entire Ming Dynasty, and a small border city has reached the scale of more than 100,000 taels in less than two months.

What if it is the fourteenth year of Yongle and a whole year? After the expansion of the border city is completed, the scale of the transaction will be expanded a little more?

White silver, this thing is a good thing!
