"Dad, is it really okay for us to do this? If Li Rusong knows about it, our Liaodong Tong family may be wiped out."
Returning to his big tent, Tong Yangxing looked at a pro-soldier standing on the side, waved his hand and ordered the other pro-soldiers to leave, leaving only this pro-soldier, and then stood up and carefully checked the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one, he saluted the pro-soldier and asked respectfully.
"Hey! What are you afraid of? The soldier suddenly raised his head, revealing an old face in his fifties, only to see him glance at Tong Yang with disdain, and said casually.
This old man is the head of the contemporary Liaodong Tong family, Tong Mai. Under his management, the Tongjia family in Liaodong has rapidly expanded from a small money stack in Fushun to a giant who controls the main goods volume of the entire Liaodong and Jurchen trade, with more than 30% of the goods sold in Liaodong, and is the out-and-out largest businessman in Liaodong and the uncrowned king of the business community in Liaodong.
"Do you know the truth? Li Rusong, this kid, on the surface, wants to be friendly with my Tong family, but it seems that he wants to contact us to seek wealth and prosperity. But in reality? As early as ten years ago, he united with the Jin merchants to control the upper road from Liaodong to North Korea, as well as the shipping of Mayang Island. Even if he Li Rusong is willing, do you think Jin Shang is willing? Jin merchants, Zhang family and other big families, are they willing to let us have a piece of the pie from the Tong family in Liaodong? Stretching his muscles and sitting on the soft couch, Tong Mai said with some smugness.
"That father, the child has something unclear, since Li Rusong knows the thoughts of the Jin merchants, why do you want to show favor to our family? If he can't convince Jin Shang and give us objective profits, our Tong family will definitely turn against him, and then he will not be able to move an inch in Liaodong" With a roll of his eyes, Tong Yang respectfully held a cup of tea and said.
"Alas, that's the genius of this boy! Tong Gui was deliberately killed by him before, in order to tell our family: He is not afraid of us, let us put away those careful thoughts. After that, he took the initiative to show favor to you, that is, after slapping you, he gave you a sweet date to eat. Hmph, don't you just want to stabilize our Tong family, and then gradually encroach? The old man doesn't take vegetarian food at night! If you don't make some trouble for Li Rusong, I'm sorry for this erection's vicious means" Tong Mai said with a gloomy face, and even Tong Yang on the side was a little annoyed.
"Jue Chang'an, this old thing is dead, even with Takshi, that guy is ambitious, but he has no ability, Li Rusong will definitely not let him master the Jianzhou Jurchen Left Guard. If you want to temporarily keep the trade between our Tong family and the Jurchens and confront the Jin merchants, there must be someone close to us to take charge of the Jianzhou Jurchen Left Guard, and then with the support of you and your brother in the official face, wait for a few years for the Jianzhou Jurchen Left Guard to recover its vitality, and it will definitely be grateful to our family, so that the Liaodong Tong family can barely keep some strength" Speaking of this, Tong Mai also sighed, his face full of unwillingness.
The Tong family in Liaodong is actually not as it seems on the surface, they are all Han people who migrated from Guannei, and a few of them were in Liaodong before and intermarried with the local Jurchens, and they are of mixed race. And because he has lived in Liaodong for a long time, he is emotionally closer to the Jurchens than the Han people!
This time, Li Rusong suddenly summoned Tong Yangxing and others to gather an army to crusade against Atai, as the head of the family, Tong Mai felt that it was a good opportunity to find out Li Rusong's thoughts and determine where the Tong family in Liaodong should go, so he pretended to be Tong Yangxing's personal soldiers, and mixed in the team to secretly observe Li Rusong's every move.
Originally, Li Rusong's plan can be described as seamless, and he easily deceived Tong Yangxing, as long as the Tong family in Liaodong is stabilized for more than ten years, the influence of Jin Shang and the Li family's father and son will definitely extend to the entire Liaodong, and at that time, the Tong family is a piece of meat on the chopping board, and Li Rusong can chop it as much as he wants.
Originally, Li Rusong had discussed with He Xinyin and Xu Wei, and had his own set of prepared rhetoric to deal with Tong Mai, but he never thought that this old fox would hide in the shadows and watch, and see his plan clearly.
The old fox Tong Mai naturally knows that Li Rusong has the backing of Jin merchants behind him, and the foundation of the DPRK and China is deep and difficult to provoke, if the Tong family's relationship in Liaodong is used, it will definitely be thankless, and even cause Li Rusong to completely suppress the Tong family. So the old thing decided to show obedience on the surface, and secretly prepared to secretly make some trouble for Li Rusong.
They found this trouble, called wild boar skin!
Jue Chang'an and Takshi are dead, if they insist on rescuing, they will definitely provoke Li Rusong, and Jue Chang'an's group of sons and grandsons, according to Tong Mai's many years of experience in seeing people, only wild boar skin can be of great use.
Although this kid is only fifteen years old this year, he has already followed his grandfather Jue Chang'an, and fought everywhere in the north and south, not only made great achievements, but also this person is good at using strategy to know people and be good at their duties, and they are very liked by Jue Chang'an.
For the Tong family, there is an ambitious and excellent leader among the Liaodong Jurchens who will definitely be able to constantly cause trouble to the Ming Dynasty and even subvert the Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong. In this way, Li Rusong must be busy, where will he have time to deal with the Tong family?
As for the Jurchens, if they sit big, will the Tong family be implicated? Hehe, in Tong Mai's opinion, that is simply impossible:
Let's not talk about the Jurchen lineage of the Tong family, relying on the huge financial resources of the Tong family, they spare no effort to support the Jurchens, and the latter must be very close to the Tong family. After all, in the eyes of many Ming and Han people, the Jurchens are just a group of barbarians living in the ravines, and they are usually willing to deal with the Jurchens because of huge profits, otherwise they don't even bother to deal with the Jurchens.
"Jie Ji, if the wild boar skin is really capable, if he takes Zhu Ming's country in the future, isn't my Tong family the founder of the country? Isn't it a hundred times better than cooperating with Li Rusong, a person at both ends of Uncle Snake? You immediately arrange manpower, set off tonight, secretly rush back to the Jianzhou Jurchen Left Guard, take the wild boar skin away, and at the same time find Liu Gonggong, let him come forward to help at all costs, and support the wild boar skin to become the commander of the new generation of Jianzhou Jurchen Left Guard! Speaking of this, Tong Mai couldn't help but have a cold light in his eyes, stood up excitedly, rubbed his hands and said.
"Father rest assured, the child has arranged fifty personal soldiers, tonight under the pretext of going out to inspect, rushed back to Jianzhou Jurchen Left Guard overnight. It's just that if Li Rusong finds out, what can be done? Tong Yang was a little more sober than Tong Mai, and said with concern.
Tong Mai stayed in Fushun all day long, did not go out of the door, devoted himself to running the family business, rarely knew about Liaodong, and knew very little about Li Rusong. But Tong Yangxing, as a general, knows Li Rusong quite well, this person is a murderous master without blinking, Fushun general Li Yongfang, just provoked Li Rusong in front of him and said a few words, and the latter did not hesitate to kill him on the spot.
It's not enough to kill, but also to kill all the soldiers and generals under Li Yongfang's command in one go, or disrupt and annex them, Tong Yangxing understands that the other party is a powerful person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes.
And now that the relationship between his family and Li Rusong has eased slightly, he has done such a thing behind his back, which is Chiguo's behavior of stabbing Li Rusong in the back. According to Tong Yangxing's understanding of Li Rusong, Li Rusong must hate the Tong family to the core, and before the wild boar skin grows up, the Tong family will face Li Rusong's monstrous anger alone!
"Hey! Temperament, the eldest husband is the most jealous of indecision, Li Rusong wants to dominate Liaodong alone, and is embarrassed to be a female cadre with Jin Shang, our Tong family is already meat on the chopping block, and if you don't resist, you have to wait for death. Wealth is in danger, this time it is an arrow on the bow and has to be sent! Don't worry, your father will have his own way to deal with him when the time comes, as long as you are an official of the imperial court, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble like Li Yongfang's stupid person, Li Rusong can't easily take you, although you can do it with confidence" waved his hand impatiently, Tong Mai whispered.
Here, the father and son of the Tong family were busy digging a pit for Li Rusong, and Li Rusong was not idle, he secretly arranged for Liu Changchun and asked him to send someone to rush back to Jianzhou Jurchen Zuowei overnight, and kill all the heirs of Jue Chang'an to prevent future troubles.
"Especially the sons of Takshi, Wild Boar Skin and Little Wild Boar Skin, these two have been a little capable since they were children, and we killed his father and his grandfather this time, which can be regarded as a complete tear with them. These businessmen of the Tong family are unreliable, maybe they are now planning to put all the blame on us and the stupid guy Nikan Wailan after Jue Chang'an's death, and support the wild boar skin to ascend. We must remove all possible hidden dangers and prepare for our dangerous mountain army to expand its power to the entire Liaodong! Li Rusong sat down and said to Liu Changchun with a serious face.
"Brother, don't worry. I arranged for Liu Shangwu to do this, this kid is a newcomer in recent years, and his skills and strategies are the best choice. I personally formulated a plan, and I will definitely kill all of Jue Chang'an's family" After respectfully holding his fists and receiving his orders, Liu Changchun did not waste time, turned his head and went out of the army, and ordered Liu Shangwu to take people to set off overnight.
"Huh, I've done my best, can I kill the wild boar skin and keep me safe in Liaodong for decades, I can only obey the destiny of heaven" After Liu Changchun left, Li Rusong lay on the bed tiredly, looking at the top of the big tent and muttered to himself.
Li Rusong and Tong Yangxing did not expect that it was the actions of the two families that caused Liaodong to fall into a terrible war again a few years later, and also caused heavy losses to the dangerous mountain army, and Li Rusong was almost beheaded.
