"People in Hangzhou, how are you? I am Yang Feng, Ambassador of Daxia!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and shouted like an 18th-tier star under the spotlight.
Behind him were six donkey carts. The six people from Zhao Jianji were all tied up. There was a sign on the back that said "Japanese Jianji" so and so. They were twisting like insects. The cavalry following him were whipped with riding whips from time to time.
Tell them to be honest. Then their screams rang out in the noisy streets. Onlookers on both sides pointed at them, and some angrily threw all kinds of messes at them.
Want to see Zhu Yuanzhang’s excitement!
Then there will be a big fuss.
So Ambassador Yang directly brought six people from Zhao Jianji to Hangzhou to declare his betrayal.
He is a foreign envoy and has no right to interfere with the justice of the Ming Dynasty. However, as an envoy of a friendly country, if he discovers that someone in the Ming Dynasty is collaborating with the enemy and treason, it is reasonable to report it to the nearest government...
"Be brave, you are a loyal minister, remember, loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!
loyalty!"
Then Yang Feng encouraged Dai Gui.
And he even raised his fist to encourage the latter.
"Do I have a way out?"
Dai Gui said angrily.
It was obvious that he was in a very bad mood.
The person Zhao Jianji confessed was not only Jinwu vanguard Qianhu Liu Bin, but also a commanding officer of Dinghaiwei. The latter was responsible for delivering a batch of new firearms to the Japanese pirates. The specific plan was for the Japanese pirates to invade Zhoushan and then he would go out of the city to fight in Zhoushan.
After the war failed, they retreated into the city, but all the rapid-fire cannons and three-eyed muskets they brought out were lost to the Japanese pirates.
Although this was all Zhao Jianji could know, Dai Gui could already confirm that this was not simply an exchange of money.
No matter Liu Bin or the commander, there was no need to do such a thing just for some money.
These are all senior generals.
How much benefit can the Japanese pirates give them to do such things as confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans?
There are people above them.
But……
What does this have to do with him?
He is a military commander who does his duty and kills enemies honestly and makes meritorious deeds. He doesn’t want to get involved in this kind of high-level struggle! The goal of these people must be to kill Yang Feng, and Yang Feng is difficult to kill, especially with the powerful firearms in his hands.
Then there must be enough firearms, and there must be elite soldiers. Then there is a battlefield that can be launched, then the Japanese pirates are undoubtedly the best choice. If the Japanese pirates do not have firearms, give them firearms. If the Japanese pirates lack combat effectiveness, then give them combat effectiveness.
Strong.
Finally completed the murder with a borrowed knife.
But what was the purpose of killing Yang Feng? Was he simply a person who made people hate him?
no!
It was because as soon as he came, he changed His Majesty the Emperor's decision. They hated Yang Feng because they were actually dissatisfied with the Emperor but did not dare to say it clearly. They killed Yang Feng to let the Emperor know that they would resist and stop forcing them.
But now Dai Gui really has no other choice.
Just like what Yang Feng said, if loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. As a loyal minister of the emperor, you must do what you should do when encountering this kind of thing. Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was that at most he felt that he was simple-minded and reckless, and he was a useless person.
He is a simple martial artist who has a colorful intestine and does things as he should.
But, be loyal!
This is the most important!
The more such a person is, the more worthy of the emperor's liking.
Dai Gui, a simple martial artist who was anything but innocent, took a deep breath and walked proudly to the front door.
At the same time, several generals wearing red official uniforms walked out of the gate. The first one even wore a gift uniform. He looked at Dai Gui doubtfully, and Dai Gui quickly stepped forward to salute...
"The last general who left behind the right guard and commanded the Qianshi Dai Gui has met Anluhou!"
he said.
"Why did you come here if you weren't following Yang Wen?"
Cifu said.
This is Wu Jie, Marquis of Anlu.
His father Wu Fu, the founding father of Zhu Yuanzhang, later died of illness in Yunnan. However, Wu Jie was not as brave as his father. Among the second generation, he can only be said to be mediocre. Later, he also participated in the Battle of Baigou. He was ordered to guard Hangzhou. Yes, in the early Ming Dynasty, the position of Commander-in-Chief was not permanent, and important places were guarded by generals of this level. However, as the vassal kings grew up, wherever there was a vassal king, the vassal king became the de facto guarding general.
After all, my son is more trustworthy than Xun Gui.
But there is no vassal king in Zhejiang, so now that the Japanese pirates are harassing them, they can only let the generals guard them.
As for Yang Wen, he was in charge of the coast, that is, the garrison posts and naval forces along the coast were under the command of Yang Wen, but the scope was not limited to Zhejiang, but also included Zhili. The other garrison posts in Zhejiang, with Hangzhou as the core, were commanded by Wu Jie.
In the original history, he was actually the deputy, and Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was the chief.
But now Xu Huizu is still in Taiyuan.
"Reporting to the Marquis of Anlu, I have been ordered to protect the Ambassador of Great Xia and followed Ambassador Yang to travel along the coast to this point!"
Dai Gui said.
Wu Jie and the generals behind him looked at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng raised his hand to say hello in a friendly manner.
“It’s hard work for the ambassador to come from afar!”
Wu Jie said perfunctorily, holding up his hands.
"Marquis Anlu, I have the permission of the emperor of your country to travel around the country. Recently, I traveled along the coast of Zhejiang, and unintentionally solved a major Japanese case for your country. The six people behind me are from Zhoushan, and they are related to Ningbo maritime merchants. In the Qing Dynasty, fifty-two men were lured from the Seventh Regiment of Xucun Salt Field to surrender to Japanese pirates in Sizhou Pond. Commander Dai recognized one of them as Xiaoqi Hafu of Dongsheng Guard. I think this matter is related to the Ming Dynasty. The safety of the people of Zhejiang was in danger, so they and Commander Dai captured these six people. According to their confession, Xu Gui, the commander of Dinghaiwei, conspired with them to take advantage of the Japanese pirates' attack on Zhoushan and send a large number of new firearms to the Japanese pirates.
The matter is of great importance, and I dare not delay.
Therefore, I sent it to Hangzhou nearby and asked Marquis Anlu to inform the emperor of your country immediately to avoid causing greater disaster."
Yang Feng said.
"Reporting to Marquis Anlu, that's exactly what happened."
Dai Gui said quickly.
"Marquis Anlu, Marquis Anlu, they framed me. I never said this. They thought I was a slutty person and wanted to extort money. If I refused, they framed me!"
Zhao Jianji suddenly struggled and shouted.
"Well?"
Yang Feng turned to look at him in astonishment, then turned back and looked at Wu Jie with interest.
"Hmph, could it be that Ambassador Yang and Commander Dai are going to falsely accuse you of a lowly person? Take them into custody. Don't worry, Ambassador. Wu will expedite five hundred miles to inform His Majesty!"
Wu Jie said with a smile.
Yang Feng also laughed.
Then he raised the hand with the watch on it...
Zhao Jianji's voice immediately sounded.
"Luckily I have a recording!"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Zhao Jianji felt as if he had seen a ghost, looking at the sound coming from his wrist. Wu Jie's eyes immediately became profound, and the onlookers were in a state of excitement. Everyone was talking about Yang Feng and the sound coming from his wrist. Yang Feng looked at Wu Jie. Wu Jie frowned, and finally looked helplessly at a man in red robe behind him.
"Immediately order Haiwei to arrest Xu Gui!"
he said.
Then he looked at Zhao Jianji again.
"Ambassador, if the ambassador is free, please ask the ambassador to send them to Beijing in person!
I am busy with military affairs and it is not convenient to receive you."
he said.
After saying that, he walked directly back to the Yamen.
"Then I'll reluctantly go there, but Hafu still has a few of his accomplices at Pingwangyi."
Yang Feng said from behind.
"That place is not under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang. Just take it when the ambassador passes by!"
Wu Jie said without looking back.
Then the other red robes followed and walked in, leaving only Yang Feng and Dai Gui outside. Yang Feng turned around and looked at Zhao Jianji. The latter was dumbfounded and stood there as if he had lost his soul. Yang Feng stretched out his hand and
His eyes were shaking, and Zhao Jianji suddenly woke up and gave him a smile that looked like he was crying...
"I'm very curious about you. You don't seem to be an ordinary bitch."
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, he was a wealthy businessman with lustful eyes during the Hu Yuan Dynasty. He was relegated to a lowly status by Your Majesty. However, there are still many members of his clan overseas. Smugglers from the coast to Ryukyu and Nanyang still need to use him to introduce them. Therefore, although he is a lowly status, the actual situation is as follows.
Just like his teeth. Local officials are making money from the maritime smuggling trade, and they are often on good terms with him. Except that their lowly status cannot be exchanged, in fact they are no different from local gentry. Even in the city of Hangzhou, there are many good friends with him. "
One of the onlookers shouted angrily.
It can be seen that Zhao Jianji is also a celebrity in this area.
"It seems that the three Yi tribes of yours are not enough. You have to kill the nine tribes!"
Yang Feng said with emotion.
Wu Jie must know him.
Smuggling along the coast must have existed at this time. After all, who wouldn’t do it if they had money?
Moreover, behind these smugglers must be the imperial court, especially the vassal king, and there are people in the honor system. How can this kind of thing be done without a backend? Wu Jie should not be deeply involved, but Wu Jie knows who is behind him, and he also knows that Wu Jie knows
Who is the person behind him? That's why he retracted his confession to give Wu Jie an excuse. Then Wu Jie only needs to put him in jail, and then during the memorial, he can focus on embellishment of what he said, as if he might really have been raped.
Framed, if Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to delve into the matter and bring out people he doesn't want to bring out, then let Wu Jie investigate the case, and then there will be more room for maneuver.
They can even be allowed to die in prison if necessary.
In the end the whole thing came to nothing.
Of course, how to deal with it will still be dealt with in other ways privately, but the public one will probably arrest a few people at the front desk.
The people behind the scenes handle things behind the scenes.
But he didn't expect that Yang Feng actually had a recording, so Wu Jie could no longer control it.
Otherwise, he himself may fall into it.
I have to say that these guys are very cunning, and none of them are stupid, so the only question now is to see if Hafu and others go to Sizhoutang. As long as they go and are caught in Sizhoutang,
Then it will be difficult to have room for maneuver...
Tongwa!
Hu Weiyong died for this crime back then.
"Get out of the way, emergency military situation!"
At this time, a messenger rushed over.
When he passed by Yang Feng, Yang Feng grabbed him without hesitation.
Because the messenger was torn off his horse while he was running wildly. The messenger did not hesitate to draw his sword, but Yang Feng snatched it away and threw him aside. At the same time, he took away his urgent report.
Then opened with his roar.
"Japanese pirates harassed Zhoushan on a large scale. Dinghaiwei commanded Xu Gui to go into battle. They were outnumbered and defeated. They lost ten rapid-fire cannons and thirty three-eyed muskets."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Then he burst out laughing.
At the same time, he began to replay Zhao Jianji's confession...
The people around were talking a lot.
On the one hand, there is the plan that Zhao Jianji confessed, and on the other hand, the plan was completely followed to reality. To say that this was not premeditated would really be an insult to everyone’s intelligence. Similarly, since this matter is true, what Zhao Jianji confessed
The other things must be true too, what he said is all the truth!
There's no point in retracting your confession!
Pingwangyi.
"Ah, here it is!"
Yang Feng burst into the room with a smile, and the two men recovering from injuries inside looked at him in shock.
Including the lusty leader.
Then Dai Gui walked in. He looked at the leader of Semu with a solemn face, and the latter also looked at him. It was obvious that the two knew each other...
"Won't you introduce it to me?"
Yang Feng said.
"Heisa'er, a hundred households in Dongshengwei, and a black household, leaving the station without permission is already a capital offense."
Dai Gui said slowly.
Heisa'er suddenly pulled out a short knife and stabbed it into his chest without hesitation. At the same time, another Semu also committed suicide in the same way. However, neither Yang Feng nor Dai Gui stopped them. For one thing, they acted too fast.
Secondly, it doesn't matter whether they live or die, because Ha Fu and others must have made peace with the Japanese pirates by this time.
The latter harassed Zhoushan, obtained the new firearms discarded by Xu Gui, and then retreated.
By this time, he had probably returned to Sizhoutang.
Lin Qing and others must have met them halfway and headed to Sizhou Tang together.
Therefore, as long as Yang Wen's army encircles Sizhoutang, they will inevitably be found, and no reason other than to communicate with the Japanese can explain the appearance of fifty-two Dongshengwei soldiers with semu in Sizhoutang...
Could it be that he was traveling?
"So now the pressure is on Yang Wen's side. Should he choose absolute loyalty or be a cunning bureaucrat?"
Yang Feng said.
Then he turned around and left.
Later, Dai Gui smiled bitterly, and then asked his men to carry the dead body away.
Even the dead are useful.
The dead are actually more useful than the living.
Their suicide means that they are dead soldiers, and those who can make a group of military elites become dead soldiers cannot be ordinary people. They must at least be a vassal king. Even Dai Gui can vaguely guess which vassal king it is.
Just like Yang Feng said, the pressure is now on Yang Wen's side.
Will he choose absolute loyalty to play out the second half of this drama?
Or should you choose to be a cunning bureaucrat and keep this drama within a moderate range?
The emperor would prefer a moderation.
After all, this way he wouldn't have to face an embarrassing situation.
But the emperor doesn’t like cunning bureaucrats!
Cunning bureaucrats are not loyal, at least not absolutely loyal. If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal. Absolute loyalty means to finish the second half of the show, but to finish the second half is to make Zhu Yuanzhang face an embarrassing situation. So.
Now Yang Feng is the happiest. He can finally watch Zhu Yuanzhang's excitement. As for setting up a trap to kill him, it is not worth mentioning. Everyone who wants to kill him has lined up.
Not inferior to this group.
After learning that he could be refreshed when he was injured, his current desire to die expanded.
After battling with Zhu Yuanzhang for so long, he was finally able to defeat Zhu Yuanzhang.
