Although Wang Tong's home is now in Beijing, and his family members are also in Beijing, for him, Tianjin Weicai feels more at home, and the news of Wang Tong's assassination in Nanzhili "has naturally spread to Tianjin Wei." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
By the middle of October, the water in the canal between Jingshi and Tianjinwei was already insufficient, and even the official ships that specially carried people were quite inconvenient.
The car and boat transfer, naturally there are the following people to cook, Wang Tong was welcomed into the former house, in Tianjin Wei's cadres, from the prison Cai Nan, Qianhu Zhang Shiqiang, the inspection department Sun Dahai to the current Huwei Army's chief general Li Hutou, are all related to Wang Tong like family.
After the living room of Wang Tong's mansion was cold and warm, they were all speechless, first the Beijing division experienced a turmoil, and then was sent out of the Beijing division "and then assassinated in the south of the Yangtze River, almost lost his life" and then think about April and May, Wang Tong returned triumphantly from the Guihua City, and in just a few months, there have been such big changes.
"Master Hou, speaking of which, the concubine has been happy for nine months, and the day of childbirth is approaching." , Cai Nan broke this Ai Jing, and everyone in the room looked at each other, there were many concubines of Emperor Wanli, but there was only one concubine, and that was Concubine Zheng.
Concubine Wang Gong is still an ordinary concubine after leaving the emperor's eldest son Zhu Changluo, and when Zheng Guifei did not give birth to a son, she was already the imperial concubine under the queen "If there is no heir, Zheng Guifei has a son this time, then the court situation will inevitably change greatly, and after the birth of the eldest son Zhu Changluo, "The court has already had officials who have been sparse and mentioned the matter of the prince, but they have been left by the Wanli Emperor" There have been rumors that the emperor has such an attitude is to wait for Zheng Guifei's birth, and if Zheng Guifei gives birth to a child, then Zheng Guifei's son is the prince.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, every time there has been a storm in the DPRK, "there are always officials who want to fight in it" If Zheng Guifei gave birth to a daughter, it would naturally be peaceful, and if she gave birth to a son, it would be conceivable.
In such a matter, Wang Tong, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, must first determine his position, otherwise, a person of his status, even if he is ambiguous, will cause great disaster.
"Whatever the Son of Heaven thinks, the courtiers will do."
Wang Tong's words seemed to be answered, but it didn't seem to be, but everyone understood what he meant, everyone nodded, Li Hutou interjected on the side and said: "Big brother is fine, go back to Beijing to raise well, and wait for the future to be comfortable, I have heard about the land of fish and rice since I was a child, a rich land or something, but I didn't expect it to be such a place" Someone actually assassinated the court officials in broad daylight, or a character like the eldest brother, there is really no royal law. ”
Li Hutou said indignantly, "The people in the house are also in the same mood, Wang Tong smiled, and said in a deep voice: "Killing this official" There will be an uproar, but there will also be great benefits" Send a few dead soldiers to fight, such a thing is worth doing" Naturally, someone will take this risk. ”
However, this topic can't be talked about deeply, Cai Nan coughed and glanced at Zhang Shiqiang, but Zhang Shiqiang understood what he meant, and changed the topic and said: "My lord, the Goryeo businessman arranged for someone to follow him to investigate, but except for a few seaports on the Goryeo side, people from our side, and even people from other places on the sea, can't get in, and the news can't find anything." ”
Some time ago, Goryeo businessmen came to Tianjin Wei to buy armor weapons, Wang Tong attached great importance to this news, "Tianjin Wei's various systems have begun to visit, Zhang Shiqiang said this, it seems that nothing can be found, Wang Tong was a little disappointed, Zhang Shiqiang over there continued: "The day before yesterday, a steward of Sanjiang Commercial Bank said that those Goryeo merchants came to sell ginseng raccoon dog skins and other mountain goods, and the goods were not from Goryeo's side, but from the Jurchen side.
This kind of goods are available to the Jurchens in the northeast of Liaozhen, and there are also goods in Goryeo, but the specialties of such a northern region are all about the better, and the goods of Goryeo are naturally not as good as the goods of the Jurchens.
In the past, they went to Jingshi by land, and there were several areas on the route that were very close to the Jurchens, and it was normal to sell some high-profit items, in fact, before the rise of Li Chengliang, most of these goods in Jingshi were obtained from the hands of Goryeo merchants.
But Goryeo merchants never buy weapons and armor in Daming, weapons and armor, these armaments, Goryeo itself can also manufacture, regardless of the quality, it is enough to meet their own needs, why bother to let Daming be wary and cause trouble.
When Zhang Shiqiang said this clue, everyone could easily think of something, Wang Tong nodded and said in a deep voice: "You mean to say that it was the Jurchen merchants who asked the Goryeo merchants to come over to buy weapons?" ”
"Master Hou, my subordinates have not verified it, so I don't dare to say anything, but there is a possibility."
Zhang Shiqiang replied very safely, Sun Dahai on the side cleared his throat and said: Since it is the Jurchens who want to buy it, it is better for us to sell it to them directly, why bother to let the Goryeo people make a profit, now the mountain goods in the north are sold from Liaozhen, and they have also made a lot of money, let them earn this money, it is better for us to earn it ourselves. ”
"Ridiculous!!"
I didn't expect to talk about this, Wang Tong suddenly lost such a big temper, everyone in the room subconsciously trembled, Sun Dahai hurriedly stood up from his seat and was about to kneel down to make amends, Wang Tong took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "Your family doesn't have to toss so much, sit down and sit down!" Sun Dahai still knelt down respectfully to make amends, then got up and sat back, Wang Tong said solemnly: "The armor and weapons produced by the Sanjiang Craftsman's Workshop, and even the weapons produced by the various official workshops of Tianjin Wei, are all high-quality weapons workshops in the Ming Dynasty, and the combat power of the soldiers and soldiers has been greatly improved. ”
Listening to Wang Tong say so cautiously, everyone was also solemn, Li Hutou pondered, but said with some disdain: "Isn't the eldest brother too filtered, we can also see the report from Liaozhen, what Jianzhou, what Nikan, what Yehenara" The soldiers on both sides of the war have never exceeded 10,000 people, and the old people in their forties and fifties have to go into battle, this is just a few villages fighting around, don't worry so much, besides, let's not sell, Liaozhen came to buy it, it is inevitable not to sell, this is the real enemy. ”
"Needless to say, the weapons of the Ming Dynasty are not sold to people outside the Ming Dynasty" This is the principle and bottom line, Zhang Shiqiang and Sun Dahai strictly investigated, "If anyone takes advantage of this loophole, they will be strictly punished for the crime of complicit and captivity." ”
This sentence is an order, Zhang Shiqiang and Sun Dahai over there hurriedly got up to receive the order, and the others didn't dare to say more" The word "Jurchen" Wang Tong has always been very sensitive, but Wang Tong has never been able to judge what stage he is in now, and what level of development the Jurchen side has reached.
The use of troops against the Tartars, it can be said that it is an effort to eliminate the scourge of the north, and it can be used against the Jurchens, and the Jurchen tribes are still accepting the canonization of the Ming court, and they are the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.
That is Li Chengliang's defense area, if Wang Tong wants to stretch out his hand, it will inevitably cause strong resistance, the Li family has regarded Liaozhen as their own territory, and will never allow outsiders to touch it, the most important thing is that Wang Tong can't find a reason to use troops "The Jurchens in the bitter cold land outside the pass are even inferior to Miao Yao of Yungui in the eyes of Da Ming, and they are worth beware" The Jurchens are too few, and they are scattered among too many tribes, and they can't even be called strength.
As the commander of the Marquis of Dingbei and the Jinyi Guard, Wang Tong would have all kinds of speculations and discussions about why he would use troops against such an inconspicuous force, attacking the Khan and the army, spending the country's food and salary, and ignoring the deaths and injuries of the soldiers for his own merits" Wang Tong can think of most of the reasons.
Moreover, in the current situation and situation, Emperor Wanli would not allow him to do it, and Wang Tong did not have the strength to persuade others to go on the expedition.
Could it be said that the Ming Dynasty died at the hands of the Jurchens, even if Wang Tong has such historical knowledge, he knows that this will not happen until fifty years later or even longer.
But the attitude of the Li family has always been to conquer to a certain extent, and their family's strength was enough to sweep away all the Mongolian tribes and Jurchens and the northeastern tribes outside the pass fifteen years ago, but after a big victory, the Li family could not maintain the status of such a Liaodong king, and it was impossible to guarantee such glory and wealth.
The cunning rabbit is exhausted, the lackeys cook, this truth has existed since ancient times, and raising thieves is also a great truth, this Li Chengliang also understands, as for what the example is, Wang Tong Naturalized City has established such a meritorious career "What treatment do you encounter when you come back, isn't this a lesson from the past?"
Seeing that Wang Tong was silent, everyone in the room was silent, Wang Tong pondered for a long time, knocked on the handle, and asked again: "You have to send more eyes and ears to Liaozhen, and you have to keep an eye on every move over there." "Master Hou, my subordinates take the liberty to say, it's not easy to be in Liaozhen at present, and now the people who go to Tianjin Wei are very wary, and now their subordinates are arranging in other places, and in another year or two, wait for the business in other places to do it" At that time, the news will be heard. ”
Wang Tong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is not in a hurry, but if you want to do it, Sun Shoulian should make a breakthrough with some effort." In addition, in the future, the weapons produced by Tianjin Wei will not be sold to Liaozhen, and "as long as they are related to Liaozhen" will not be sold, lest they will be sold again
