Volume III] Chapter 66 Countermeasures

Chapter 66 Countermeasures

Liu Zhenyou was ordered to take Wu An and a hundred guards of the governor to the north to suppress it. Along the way, the son was thinking about what he should do.

As a guerrilla general, it is impossible for Liu Zhenyou to fully understand how deep the water is in Zhangjiakou. In his heart, these Jin merchants must be bought and bought, Tian Xiu is Tian Lan's nephew, and he is bound to be on the side of the Jin merchants, and the officials of the Xuanfu should also be fed, and it is estimated that even the governor of Xuanda has a share. Zhangjiakou disappeared one day, and the court did not ask Tian Xiu about his crimes, but only changed the original governor of Xuanfu, and someone in the court came to talk to Tian Xiu. But what kind of officials they are, Liu Zhenyou naturally doesn't know, but these things he knows are powerful enough.

The former deputy general Chang Zhentan lost his life because he detained Fan Dou's goods, this matter is not a secret, and now the governor sent himself to get people, what will happen to the result?

Of course, Lord Wu is not a deputy general, and it is far more difficult to move him than to move a vice general. But now it's not a measure of whether these Jin merchants can move Lord Wu, but to figure out what Lord Wu is thinking. This kind of reversing the transportation of military supplies seems to be serious, but if you want to make a big deal happen, it is also very easy, and the key lies in the meaning of Lord Wu.

After the people were arrested, did Lord Wu want to take the real thing, check the matter, and play it to the court, or did he plan to use this to blackmail the Jin merchants and make a windfall? If it is serious, the Jin merchants will definitely not be able to sit back, and there will inevitably be a game to the death, although it will not be a public confrontation with the officers and soldiers now, but it will be in the past two days. If Lord Wu wins, he will return it, and he will be ordered to take people, and he will belong to a meritorious minister, but if he loses, don't be a tuǐ runner, it is estimated that he will also be involved.

But if Lord Wu doesn't want to be serious, after arresting people, he will ask for more money. This kind of thing, I act according to my orders, Lord Wu will definitely have a reward, and the errand of the North Mén was given by Lord Wu, and after this incident, he can be regarded as a backer of Lord Wu. And after Zhangjiakou, the weight of Lord Wu's words will definitely overshadow General Tian, and no one dares to embarrass himself anymore, after all, it takes the owner to beat a dog. If you take revenge on me after this incident, what is the difference between it and revenge on Lord Wu, no one will be stupid enough to do such a thing.

After weighing it, Liu Zhenyou determined the direction. No matter what Lord Wu thinks, if he doesn't do it now, he will definitely die if he lets people go to Beimén. After all, by his side, it is all Lord Wu's own doing, and it is clear to others that it is impossible to pass the test if you want to ménghún. Since you can only do it, you have to think about it locally, Lord Wu doesn't really want Jin Shang to do it, just to ask for money, at least in these days, it can be concluded that Lord Wu is still greedy for money.

Thousands of miles for officials are only for money, since they have the same thoughts, they have to take people. After making up their minds, Liu Zhenyou, Wu An and others also came to Beimén, where the officers and soldiers arrived and had the backbone of the main general, and they all stepped forward to ask what to do. Liu Zhenyou was unceremonious, and immediately ordered to take the people first, and take ten carts of goods, together with the prisoners, to the governor's line.

With a clear designation, the soldier is no longer ambiguous, and the people who have been caught, rope tied up. Liu Zhenyou and Wu An led the troops out of the city again, and the confrontation was going on outside the city, as soon as Liu Zhenyou's soldiers and horses arrived, they went all out to take people, and the soldiers outside the city also had the backbone.

The men of the goods store saw that there were many officers and soldiers, and their own master did not let go, so they had to be arrested.

Wu Ping and the young man escorted Wang Dayu and Jin Liang out of the car, joined Wu An and Liu Zhenyou, and went to the governor's journey. North Mén is also temporarily closed, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.

This side is clean and neat, and it is completely in Wu Sinan's control, and his plan to kill two birds with one stone can be said to have all worked. What kills two birds with one stone is to set up camp and dig a trench outside this city. First of all, through the change of generals, the guards of Zhangjiakou were divided and disintegrated. If it was Qin Nansong's people who were guarding the city, things would never have gone so smoothly. And digging trenches, defending against tartars is fake, tripping over trucks is real. In this way, it can be uncertain whether Wu Sinan is deliberately targeted, after the car overturns, it is not a military quartermaster, and it should be nothing, and after the car overturns, lù is out of the military quartermaster, then we are welcome. The huge camp is full of trenches, all marked with stones, and it is too easy to do something with your hands and feet, Wu Ping only needs to pull the original obvious stones to the side to change the route. Roads are limited, and if you get close, you may have an accident. Even if you don't turn it here, you still have to turn it a few steps further.

Fan Dou's mansion is now in full swing, making such a big noise, it is impossible for Tian Lan, Wang Dengku and others not to hear it, one by one like ants on a hot pot, running to Fan Dou.

"Brother Fan, Wang Dayu and Jin Liang have been taken, and our goods have all been detained, what can we do?"

No matter who it is, as soon as I saw Fan Dou, the first thing I said was this.

Fan Dou is also having a headache at the moment. The news was reported to him first, but the specific situation was only known, and the officers and soldiers outside the city were not embarrassed, so they led the way out of the city. It was only halfway through the march that the carriage overturned and weapons spilled out that this caused a disturbance. Whether it was a coincidence or not, it is really difficult to determine, but the military supplies on the car were leaked, and the Ming army guarding the camp started to capture it, which seems to be reasonable, and no one dares to let you go as if it was nothing, after all, there are so many eyes watching. It is difficult to determine whether Wu Sinan intended to target it, so it is difficult to determine what kind of measures to take.

Yes, if this is an officer and soldier forcibly searching for the military supplies and then seizing them, Fan Dou will take extreme measures after all and make a desperate bet. But this is not like Wu Sinan did it deliberately, everything seems to be negotiable, take the people, detain the goods, you can't just come to the real thing, it's not impossible to turn a big event into a thing.

Fan Dou asked Tian Lan and the five people not to panic, thought for a while, and said: "It's not like I'm not without a turnaround in this matter, let's make two plans." First, please ask the superintendent Zhao Yan to take a trip to the governor and communicate with Wu Sinan, hoping that it will be over, let him bring 50,000 taels of silver first, what does Wu Sinan mean? If Wu Sinan is willing, the silver is not a problem, and he can give it again. Second, immediately send people to Xuanfu and Yanghe, and inform the Xuanfu commander-in-chief Mi Zhihuan, the superintendent Xiao Fengzhong, and the Xuanda governor Cui Jingrong, respectively, asking them to come over immediately, and if Wu Sinan doesn't know how to lift, let them come forward. Anyway, they and we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and if we have something, they don't have to think about it. In addition, don't we have a killer weapon in our hands, Tian Lan, tell your son, give me that son, you can't let him go out now, and at the critical moment, you can still let him come forward. There are so many people, I don't believe it, he Wu Sinan can handle it! ”

Here is an introduction to Yanghe, Yanghe in the Ming Dynasty was just a county under Datong Prefecture, because there was a guard, also known as Yanghewei. This place is inconspicuous, and it is indeed the seat of the governor of Xuanda.

Some people want to ask why the governor of Xuanda is not located in Taiyuan, Xuanfu, and Datong, but it is located in such a place. The main thing is that the geographical location is more important, sandwiched between Xuanfu and Datong, so the seat of the governor of Xuanda was set here. Of course, the governor of Xuanda would not want to work here, but there was no way, in the fourth year of Longqing, the emperor set the governor of Xuanda here. It has jurisdiction over Xuanfu, Datong and Shanxi Sanfu and three towns.

"Brother Fan, your idea is not no, but it is not lagging behind. My brother thought that doing so would give Wu Sinan an the upper hand, once he sent the excerpt to the capital first, what should he do? "Tian Landao.

"If he does, he wants our lives. In this way, you will send someone to the governor to keep an eye on me now, if he directly sends someone to send a letter to Beijing, then we will not do anything, order all the people, kill the Yuan, cut Wu Sinan first, and then lead the crowd out of the customs. Here's the matter, just Jiāo to Mi Zhihuan and Cui Jingrong to clean up the aftermath of themselves! "Tian Landao.

"Brother Fan is right, I will arrange someone to keep an eye on it, once Wu Sinan dares to send someone to Beijing to report the news, we will fight with him without doing anything!" Tian Lan said loudly.

"Brother Fan, Brother Tian, what you mean, brother understands. But my brother thought that Wu Sinan had played so many huā since he arrived in Zhangjiakou on the second day, and he had the intention of dealing with us. Just like Brother Tian just now, let's not move, let Zhao Yan go out first, and then invite Mi Zhihuan and Cui Jingrong to come, it seems that we are really lagging behind. If Mi Zhihuan and Cui Jingrong come, once the discussion is not proper, if we want to attack the governor again, there will be no chance, and they will definitely not allow us to do this. Wu Sinan is no better than Chang Zhentan, he can be punished by pressing the last crime, he is the governor, and if he wants to convict him, he will be sent to Beijing, and the three law divisions will be tried. According to me, it's better to order all the people now, kill them, and get rid of Wu Sinan first, and then let's escape from the pass and go to the Great Khan, Cui Jingrong, how can they deal with the aftermath, if they can calm down, let's come back. Wang Dengku gave his own opinion.

"No way!" Tian Lan hurriedly said: "This is not good, whether Wu Sinan is deliberately targeted, or a coincidence, it is really difficult to determine." If we take a risk as soon as we come up, things will be too big, you think, now Tian Xiu and other generals are still discussing matters in Wu Sinan's mansion, if we go here, it will be really difficult for these people to save their lives. If they are all dead, how can they be explained by the imperial court? The pass has not been broken, and there are still so many pairs of eyes in the pass, as long as you check it, you can find our body. I'm afraid that from now on, we will never be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. ”

If Wu Sinan dies, if Tian Xiu and other generals are alive, at least the soldiers and horses in Zhangjiakou can be commanded, and it will not be húnluàn, and then the imperial court will track it down, and it can find a hundred reasons. Other people will not be too implicated, but if all the generals in Zhangjiakou are dead, there will inevitably be a big problem in the city, and things will be so troubled that they will not be able to suppress it, just like Tian Lan, they will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

"Brother Tian, you are all here, Tian Xiu and they are all discussing in Wu Sinan's line, why is it so coincidental, they want to discuss today. Wu Sinan did this, obviously expecting that we were going to ship today, set up a mechanism in the camp, and led the carriage overturned. Otherwise, if there is no accident in the car every day, why would we have overturned. Wu Sinan recruited Tian Xiu and them into the house, and it was also a clear frame, so that we would throw a mouse trap, dare not kill him, and fight him to the death. Everything can prove that Wu Sinan is going to be right with us. When Wang Dengku said this, his voice was very loud. Everyone in the hall couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this.

"That's it, Brother Wang......" Fan Dou leaned back in his chair, took a deep breath, and said after a while: "What you said is indeed very reasonable, but now, we can only underestimate that Wu Sinan." As Brother Fan said, if we really want to die now, the price is too great, but if there is a glimmer of opportunity, we can't do it. Let's act according to the plan we made just now, just a little bit, and we must not let Wu Sinan send the news to Beijing. If the governor comes out of the city, he will be killed! ”

"Yes!"

The Governor of the Governor's Journey.

In the back hall, Wu Sinan seemed relatively calm, but compared with him, Tian Xiu and other generals were trembling one by one, especially Tian Xiu, whose brain was already full of cold sweat.

Finally, there was the sound of footsteps outside the hall, and a soldier walked in and knelt on the ground to report, "Lord Qiyu, General Liu has taken the prisoner back and is waiting outside for your summons." ”

"Let them in." Wu Sinan said plainly.

"Yes, sir."

The soldiers retreated, and within a moment, Liu Zhenyou, Wu Ping, Wu An, and several guards brought Wang Dayu and Jin Liang into the hall.

"The last general, Liu Zhenyou, has brought the prisoners here, and he has come to pay the order." As soon as Liu Zhenyou entered the mén, he bowed down and said loudly.

"What the hell is going on?" Wu Sinan asked.

"Jin Liang yù and Wang Dayu sī transported more than 400 truckloads of military supplies, including weapons and armor, and the last general brought back ten boxes, and then brought back Jin Liang yù, Wang Dayu and their henchmen."

"General Liu, you did a great job, retreat to the side and rest."

Wu Sinan waved his hand to Liu Zhenyou, and Liu Zhenyou said "Thank you, thank you", and then retreated to his previous position and sat down.

Wu Ping and Wu An saluted Wu Sinan, and then walked straight to Wu Sinan's side, and the guards below planned to push Wang Dayu and Jin Liang to kneel on the ground, but Wu Sinan said with a smile: "Don't be so rude, don't hurry up and give the two bosses a seat." ”

The guards didn't know where they were, but when they saw that the adults were like this, they hurriedly moved chairs and asked Wang Dayu and Jin Liang to sit down. Seeing Wu Sinan being so polite, the two of them calmed down their nervousness, and hurriedly said with a smile on their faces: "Thank you, sir." ”

"You're welcome. It's just that what the two of them did, it really embarrassed the ministry. Wu Sinan shook his head and said. After that, he paused for a moment, and then pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "You two can be regarded as rich and armory, why are you so confused and want to traffic weapons out of the customs, you can know that this is the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan." ”

"My lord, people are really confused...... Wang Dayu and Jin Liang stopped sitting down, and knelt directly on the ground, snotting and crying with tears. People also let Qian mí know his heart for a while, so he did such a foolish thing, and asked the adults to raise their noble hands and let them fall lightly, people must feel inexhaustible, and they don't dare anymore......" The two of them looked embarrassed by Wu Sinan, and immediately expected that Wu Sinan was planning to care about them asking for silver, as long as it could be a big deal, the matter of money.

"The ministry has the intention of making a big deal, and it is considered that there is no incident, but this matter has been spread, and the army has already known about it, and the people in the city probably know about it. Also, these people here are all generals who are loyal to the imperial court, and even if the ministry has the heart to protect them, they are afraid that they will not agree. Wu Sinan is still embarrassed.

"People and Brother Wang are doing business in Zhangjiakou, and several generals can be regarded as bowing their heads and not looking up to see each other, and several generals also know us better, knowing that we are law-abiding and never commit crimes. This time I was really carried away by the money, and I hope that the adults will give me two a chance, and the two of us promise that there will never be a next time. Jin Liang finished and began to kowtow, and Wang Dayu also followed, kowtowing to Wu Sinan together.

"Dashuai, Boss Jin and Boss Wang are indeed law-abiding on weekdays, and they have never had anything like this. There are not many people who know about this matter, I hope that the marshal can be benevolent outside the law, and read it in their ......past" Tian Xiu hurriedly helped to intercede, he wanted to "remember their past merits", but he couldn't think of any credit for the two for a while, so he could only vaguely say in the end, and then said: "Spare them once, and the last general is willing to guarantee with his net worth, and there will never be a next time." ”

Seeing that Tian Xiu was willing to protect, Qin Nansong also hurriedly echoed, "Dashuai, the last general is also willing to guarantee." ”

Compared with the two of them, the generals Liao Fei, Xu Guangda, and Liu Zhenyou did not immediately express their position. Usually I don't confiscate any filial piety from you, how can I easily speak for you at this time, now the adult who wants to sit on it means, if the governor intends to release people, we will follow the help, if the governor doesn't want to release people, let's take a stand now, wouldn't we throw ourselves in. Besides, now you must take a stand, and now it is obvious that the governor has taken the initiative, and he stupidly went to Tian Xiu's side, can the governor be happy.

So these three are now not a word.

Wu Sinan was secretly happy in his eyes, if the five generals were of one mind, this matter would still be a little troublesome, since they had their own thoughts, they would be able to do it easily. Wu Sinan continued to have a bitter face, shook his head and said, "Don't do it, don't do it...... Everyone is watching, once the matter is publicized, not only will the ministry not be able to report to the imperial court, but I am afraid that they will also have to take their own lives. Boss Wang, Boss Jin, the ministry is really a little helpless. I'm like this, you two might as well truthfully confess, where did so many military supplies come from, and who are you going to sell them to, the ministry will know the court at that time, and will definitely try to exonerate the two, hoping that the court can be light. ”

What the? Let's confess! If you tell the truth, the Ming court, how can you exonerate it, it will work? Jin Liang yù and Wang Dayu couldn't wait to scold on the spot, but they still endured it and continued to cry, "My lord, if this matter is played by the imperial court, our lives will definitely be difficult to protect." Please also ask your Excellency not to play the Ming court, as much as possible to make things happen. If we can survive, we will definitely change our past mistakes, and we will feel inexhaustible to adults. ”

Simply, these two opened their faces and directly bribed publicly.

"This ...... How can this work...... Wu was favored by the imperial court, and he was still afraid of the grass title, so how could he deceive the king. Such a big event, even if I don't go, I'm afraid that some people will go, Zhangjiakou has a prison army and a royal history, and now I am afraid that this matter has already reached their ears. ”

Wu Sinan's words had just ended, and after this effort, a soldier came in outside the hall to report, "Lord Qiyu, Gonggong Zhao of Zhangjiakou Supervisor has come to ask for a meeting." ”

"You, this Cao cào, Cao cào is not coming. It's not too soon, please. Wu Sinan looked a little nervous and said.

"Yes, sir."

The soldier turned around and went down, and after a little effort, a middle-aged eunuch in his forties followed the soldier to the second hall, and beside this eunuch, there were also two eunuchs.

Supervisor Zhao Yan, when he walked into the second hall, his old face was no different from a shoehorn, and he asked to see him, you Wu Sinan dared not to greet him in person, who are you, aren't you just a broken governor, if it weren't for our family looking for you, I would have turned around and left now. Hum!

Seeing Zhao Yanjin mén, Tian Xiu and other generals got up one after another and saluted the supervising army, Wu Sinan also got up, but just arched and said: "Father-in-law Zhao is here, Wu is entangled in official business, and he can't meet him from afar, so please don't care about it." ”

"That's it, the governor is busy with official business, our family is clear." Zhao Yan walked to the vacant chair with a grin, and then sat down, that attitude was really arrogant, as if he didn't take Wu Sinan in his eyes.

Zhao Yan is arrogant and arrogant, his godfather is Xiao Fengzhong, the supervisor of the Xuanfu, and Xiao Fengzhong's godfather is Zhang Yurui, the eunuch of the palm print of the internal official supervisor. The internal official supervisor is in charge of the construction of the inner court, royal celebrations and other affairs, as mentioned above, it is also a féi poor. Among the twelve eunuchs, second only to the celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor, sitting in this position is equivalent to the fourth person in Ouchi, second only to Zou Yi, Liu Mingguo, and Cao Huachun. After Yue Su Ding returned to his hometown, Liu Mingguo was very unwilling, and he was good at disguise, so he became extremely low-key. As a result, the fourth person, Zhang Yirui, has risen to the top of his head, worshipping countless people under Mén, and is even touted as the successor of Zou Gonggong. ignored Liu Mingguo and Cao Huachun at all.

With such a No. 1 person to support him, of course Zhao Yan will not look at Wu Sinan in his eyes. After sitting down, he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wu, I heard that Boss Jin and Boss Wang's goods were detained by you this morning. ”

"My father-in-law also listened, right...... I'm here just now, the two of them are transporting military supplies, and the imperial court has a clear order, but anyone who transports military supplies out of the customs will be punished according to the theory of collaborating with the enemy and rebelling, and they will be raided and destroyed. Wu Sinan also sat down, still embarrassed.

"I heard that when I was out of the city, the carriage fell and scattered some, and it was intercepted by the officers and soldiers outside the city. Lord Wu, is this the case? Zhao Yan said.

"That's true, my father-in-law is really well-informed." Wu Sinan Road.

"It's okay, it's not too well-informed, thank you Lord Wu for the compliment. In fact, when you go out to do business, you can often encounter Tartar bandits and robbers, and it is understandable that the caravan brings some weapons to defend itself, isn't it just a cart of weapons, and you can use it yourself, what can you do, Lord Wu don't make a big fuss. Zhao Yan said lightly.

Obviously, he is reminding Wu Sinan that he will be sentenced like this, it should be a self-defense weapon, and he has to go anywhere.

"But...... After I was arrested in the past, I searched other vehicles, and those cars were full of weapons, like I brought back ten cars, didn't I? Wu Sinan said, to Liu Zhenyou.

"Yes......" Seeing Wu Sinan himself, Liu Zhenyou only replied heartily.

……
