Chapter 182: Secret Layout
The relative positions of Daning, Shanhaiguan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Tianjinwei, Shandong, and Beijing City quickly flashed in Xu Guangqi's mind, and his body trembled, and he asked in surprise: "Do you want to trap King Fu to death in Beijing City?" β
Guan Shanyue looked up at Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong, who were in shock, shook her head slowly, and said, "It's not me, it's the Holy One." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Sun Chengzong looked up to the sky and sighed, and said helplessly: "Since ancient times, the royal family has not talked about family affection, and King Fu is rebellious, and he can't complain that the saint will kill them all. β
Xu Guangqi's eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, and he said worriedly: "Rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, King Fu will not sit still, and his subordinates Zu Dashou and Yuan Chonghuan and others will not sit still." It's better for my brother to be cautious, but don't leak the news, lest you end up with a dead end. β
Guan Shanyue nodded, and said solemnly: "At present, except for the Holy Lord, the second elder, Liu Wenxiu and Guan, no one knows about this matter. β
The three of them discussed other issues until dusk, and then they went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.
After sending Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong away, Guan Shanyue was not idle, he raised his leg and went to the Daning General Staff Headquarters to discuss the issue of stationing in Shanxi with Liu Wenxiu.
Liu Wenxiu, who was busy, knew that Guan Shanyue had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, so he hurriedly let him into the neat war room where everything was placed.
Guan Shanyue took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, waved her hand and motioned for Liu Wenxiu to sit down, and said with a smile: "Wen Fu, I think I will avoid all those red tapes, I came to you to ask how the preparations for things in Shanxi are going?" β
After several years of infiltration, Liu Wenxiu's military style is immersed in the bone marrow, as the intelligence head of Daning, he has long been familiar with all kinds of important intelligence and data.
At this moment, listening to Guan Shanyue ask about the situation in Shanxi, he said without thinking: "Following the line of Jia Defu and Jia Degui brothers, now the General Staff has a large number of evidence in the hands of Shanxi businessmen secretly communicating with Houjin. After investigation, it was found that they were not fighting alone, but in a family mode. Moreover, the Jia clan is just a small shrimp attached to the big fish. β
Rao is Guan Shanyue had already been mentally prepared, and he was also shocked. According to previous intelligence analysis, the transaction volume between the Jia brothers and Houjin is hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year.
"Wen Fuxiu wants to sell Guanzi, and Kuaishou has those Shanxi businessmen involved in Houjin."
Liu Wenxiu dragged his chin and groaned for a moment, and said quickly: "The big fish are Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa, these eight families. Like the small shrimp attached to the eight families, there are hundreds. β
Guan Shanyue sneered in her heart, if you look at them in modern times, they can be regarded as promoting national integration in disguise, but at this stormy moment, they are out-and-out traitors.
After some inquiry, he learned that the cooperation between the two has lasted for more than ten years. Since the time of Nurhachi, some Shanxi businessmen with a keen sense of business smelled out the ambition of Houjin's unwilling to be lonely, and began to collude with it.
Hou Jin used the gold, silver and jewelry plundered and extorted from the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo, and exchanged a large amount of military supplies from the hands of the Eight Great Families, so it can be said that they were the chief quartermaster of Hou Jin, without their unremitting support after their dedication and death, the rise of Hou Jin is bound to be greatly reduced.
And through the intelligence officers dispatched, it was discovered that their trading center was not in Shanxi, but set up in Zhangjiakou. Only before the Daning Army took control of Shanhaiguan, the trade between the two sides was still carried out at a high speed.
What made Guan Shanyue feel the most was the grain trade between the two sides. In recent years, Daming has been plagued by natural disasters, and the grain harvest has been poor for several years, and the harvest of Houjin is not much better. However, the price of grain sold to Houjin by this group of merchants was only half that of Shanxi and Shaanxi and Gansu, which were under their monopoly.
These merchants are all over the Ming Dynasty, and they are the eyes of the Houjin body in the Ming Dynasty, taking advantage of the convenience of being Han Chinese, and listening around. Not only did they continuously transport all kinds of material resources they needed to Houjin in accordance with Houjin's requirements, but they also provided a steady stream of all kinds of information in the customs area free of charge in order to consolidate trade relations and obtain greater economic benefits so that they could make a large amount of war profits.
Guan Shanyue, who couldn't bear it, slapped the case angrily and shouted: "Before attacking Houjin, we must chop up this group of nurses in Houjin, otherwise our soldiers will have to fill this hole with their lives." Wen Fu, except for Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, can there be anyone available in Shanxi? β
Liu Wenxiu kowtowed with his hand, and used personnel to lock in the success or failure of the mountain, and he carefully retrieved it in his mind. After a moment of silence, he said with a serious face: "Shanxi Provincial Inspector Yu Shi Wei Jingyu, fair and honest, does not enforce the law, cane to kill Haoqiang, Ya beetle innumerable, once impeached the first assistant Zhou Yanru, can be used by me." Zhou Yuji, a guerrilla in Beijing, is loyal, brave and good at shooting, and has a fierce fighting style, which can be used by me. β
The position of Shanxi officials is still vacillating from side to side, and their political sense is far less sensitive than that of the old foxes in the former cabinet.
Guan Shanyue shook her head dissatisfiedly considering this, and said unhappily: "It's too little, we are now a radish and a pit, and the existing manpower is all wearing multiple hats, and they can't be withdrawn."
Even if Lu Xiangsheng is on the front line of Xuanda in Shanxi, if we wantonly arrest those traitor businessmen, the group of Shanxi officials who are implicated in it will also be in the fire. β
Liu Wenxiu, who was full of sadness, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, clapped his hands and said: "The last general secretly investigated, Cao Wenzhao, the chief military officer of Lintao, and his nephew Cao Bianjiao, who followed him, are all great talents, and I originally wanted them to experience it again, but now the adults are in a hurry to use people, and Wenxiu must not hide his secrets." It's just that this appointment, will our old rival Yang Sichang let him go? β
Guan Shanyue nodded with satisfaction, looked at the jumping fire candle and said: "Yang Sichang, this old fox will definitely not let him go, you draw up a suitable official position for me, and I will directly ask the saint for approval." Yang Sichang asked, it's a big deal to sacrifice the shield of military secrets. β
Liu Wenxiu snorted coldly, licked his dry lips, and said with a murderous face: "It's just that the time has not come, otherwise at this time, we will present the confessions of Wang Jiayin and Luo Rucai, as well as the human witness Chen Zirui, to the front of the saint, and then use Daming Daily to announce to the world that the Yang father and son will definitely die." β
Guan Shanyue's face was melancholy, he didn't want to get rid of Yang Sichang's stumbling block as soon as possible, and said depressedly: "I guess you also know the news that the group of old ministers are going to Daning, as long as they talk about the bargaining chips of the transaction, they will go to Duoyan City in a few days." At that time, they will inevitably form an offensive and defensive alliance with Yang Sicheng, you have to pay attention to this matter, and strive to arrange things properly before the arrival of this group of beam-jumping clowns. β
Liu Wenxiu's body was under pressure, and he couldn't breathe when he was overwhelmed by the formation of the Four Provinces Construction Corps and the Frontier Corps, so he nodded heavily, "Although the time is a little urgent, Wenxiu must give priority to this matter." I don't know if the auspicious day for the wedding of the adult and the princess can be chosen? β
As soon as she heard about her marriage to Princess Le'an, Guan Shanyue flicked her sleeves, the sadness on her face was swept away, and she said with a wicked smile on her face: "Haha, personal marriages are always behind in front of state affairs." The main thing is this big happy event, if you don't take the opportunity to extort a sum of money from the old ministers who are so rich, God will not be able to see it. It's not early, Wen Fu, you should rest early, I have to go home first. If it's too late, the female insects at home will have to roar in Guan's ears again. β
After speaking, he couldn't help but give Liu Wenxiu a big Cao's bear hug, thinking about Ye Xiaoluan in the warm tent, let out a lewd smile that made people goosebumps, and then turned into a wild donkey, and ran impatiently towards the governor's mansion.
The officers and men of the staff department laughed loudly when they heard this familiar laughter, they were very clear about Guan Shanyue's hobby, and they were good at analyzing it, and they immediately deciphered the secret he couldn't tell tonight from this lewd laughter.
Liu Wenxiu stood at the door of the war room and rolled his eyes, and said angrily to the group of staff officers who were "not doing their job": "Since everyone's interest is so high, let's stay up all night tonight!" β
The entire staff headquarters immediately wailed everywhere, but the staff headquarters under the complaints was really brightly lit all night, and no one slipped away from the post secretly. They use their wisdom to guard the peace of the Ming Dynasty.
If King Fu could see this scene of the Daning General Staff, he would definitely hold their hands with tears in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Tonight, this king will not sleep!" β
