Xiong Tingbi, Wei Zhongxian did this for fishing.
Xiong Tingbi has cracked down on smuggling in the past two years. There are not many smuggling gangs on the surface anymore. Those big fish are doing things covertly. They used to be secretly manipulating.
In the past, the smugglers captured by Xiong Tingbi were all small fish and shrimps, and none of the real smuggling predators were caught. At the critical moment when the slaves were seriously short of food, they used a long-term approach to catch the big fish to make those hidden predators themselves.
Jump out and catch them all in one final sweep.
Some time ago, based on the interrogation of Yanguan's agents and their superiors and subordinates, we learned that there are some smuggling gangs in Liaodong, but most of them are Beijing-based generals and wealthy businessmen in Liaodong.
In the past few days, I have sent the information provided by Tongzhou Granary and Tongzhou and Tianjin businessmen before the Bohai Sea was frozen. There were many people involved, but they were all Liaodong middlemen who participated in the first transaction.
These businessmen and the people who had clues around Liaoyang City were not the same group at all. Then they made great efforts to investigate along both ends, and found several transaction links.
The businessmen behind the transactions usually do not come forward. Based on these clues, Xiong Tingbi recently learned that Liaoyang businessmen frequently traded grains with each other, and finally discovered the route of grain smuggling:
They maintain a single line of contact through mutual transactions, basically through five or six transactions and turnovers. Even if they are caught at a certain link, it is difficult to dig out all the participants, because the transport vehicles and ships are all hired. We press the token
Delivery.
Tan Hanjin felt that the people at his disposal were not good at dealing with that kind of intricate relationship. The clear relationship made us anxious and confused, so we had to leave it to Xiong Tingbi to handle it.
All participants, whether they are family members or hired personnel, will also be taken. Depending on the seriousness of the crime, they will be decapitated, imprisoned, and served in hard labor.
I said straight to the point: "I know that Xiao Ming changed eight emperors in two months, and each one was weaker than the last. Tianqi, the great emperor who was only 18 years old, just stepped down and the inner court was in chaos. The inner court was reorganized.
.
The Ming army also retreated recklessly, but Jian Nu always managed to use cover to harvest grain from far away from Shenyang. The two sides were in a stalemate for two months, and the people of Xiao Ming safely harvested their own grain and transported it back to the settlements outside Shenyang.
Nurhaci is also discussing the latest situation.
Before the spring begins, try to invade Shenyang and Liaoyang, the two smallest cities in Liaodong, and capture hundreds of thousands of Liao people as slaves, because they are afraid that some of the slaves will freeze to death and starve to death.
The people of Liaoyang were heartened and actively participated in the work of identifying slave-building spies. With the help of local people, many spies were caught, the least of which were Han Chinese, and there were no male real men or Mongolians.
Through torture and thorough investigation, we found that there were less than a dozen merchants acting as diversions. We are vague about the origin and whereabouts of the food directly smuggled by merchants, and can only rely on guesswork.
......
That year there was a drought and rain in eastern Liaoning, and the Jiannu slaves in the mountainous area of northeastern Liaoning had a lot of harvests. There was no success in plundering food in the autumn. It snowed early before autumn, and the weather was hot, and it was about to close the mountains with light snow.
There is a slight drought this year, and we have another supply of food in the fall. Your food can last until the end of July at the longest. There are no channels to buy food from Liaoyang merchants. We have called the family together to brainstorm ways to get food." At that time, the spies sent by Qibele Huang Taiji and the traitor Li Yongfang to the capital sent back news about Emperor Xiao Ming intermittently.
Today's Xiao Ming is the same as in the past. I heard that Tianqi, a young man, gained 20 million taels of silver by suppressing the rebellion and ransacking his house. He also reorganized the ordnance factory and the Beijing camp. Now the source of arms and food smuggling has been cut off. Qibele Huang Taiji said: "The Ming army is stronger than you in large-scale operations. The strength is that the forces gather to fight independently. The only general who failed to bring the various princes together to command small battles is Wei Zhongxian, the smuggling group of the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that they didn't take me up, but the whole army was restored."
I originally thought that in the autumn of that year Emperor Wanli of the Xiaoming Dynasty passed away.
In the newly built Sarhu City in Qianjin.
The people of Liaoyang were rejoicing. The land that had been taken away from us was given back to us. We were no longer used as tenants before, and we became owner-cultivators again.
The Seven Little Assistant Ministers also spoke one after another. They felt that the winter was not difficult at all. Although the Four Banners could eat well, the dressing would cost a lot of people.
That time was mainly about testing and plundering, so it was a collective action and the main force fought decisively. Instead, Xianglan Banner went to the north of Shenyang to gather and plunder farmers' food, and several other banners served as frontline support.
In early autumn, Nurhachi sent soldiers and horses from eight banners to retreat north of Shenyang to test the attack. He wanted to contain Xiao Ming's army and seize the people's autumn grain, but they were hit head-on by the Ming army.
It was eventually discovered that a local businessman from a small ethnic group and a dozen Liaodong military officials were involved in the smuggling.
I made a decision and sent Amin, the blue flag in Jilhalang, to grab some things in winter.
Tan Hanjin has a lot of gangsters on his hands, so interrogation and beatings will definitely work. Some confidential information will also be known to the housekeepers, but we can't dig out the information those people know.
Nurhachi saw Xiaojia analyzing the situation in Liaodong and felt that Wei Zhongxian was more difficult and that he had come over to sell winter supplies.
Because traitors like Bao Chengxian and others were actually very open-minded, and there was no change at all at that time.
Little Beile Daishan said: "Now that Tianqi has finished sending small quantities of weapons and food to Liaodong, no weak army has arrived. Wei Zhongxian has received the support of the emperor, but he has not yet stabilized the Liaodong army and the guest army. That man is both civil and military. Now he has
The army has more than 170,000 troops, which is eight times your number. It is very difficult to deal with them."
Due to Wei Zhongxian's strict arrangement, Mang Gurtai's eight thousand Zhenglan flags and Daishan's ten thousand Shaoliang red flags were driven away.
It is indeed unfair to say that we are smugglers, but we have played a role in concealing the truth. We ourselves thought that we were better than others and made a lot of money through repeated smuggling. In fact, it was the two smugglers who gave us profits for their own danger.< /p>
But the large-scale war after a long time actually lived up to expectations.
Tenants will be given enough land to live on, and taxes will be reduced by 80% for the people of Liaodong.
Nurhachi summoned all the seven little Belles and seven little ministers together to discuss the next step of action.
Nurhachi originally had a heavy ambush in front of him, preparing to attack the Ming army's small pursuing army, but Tan Hanjin retreated when he saw trouble.
But for the time being, we have captured the protective umbrella of the Ming army. There are no spies in Shenyang, but the secret was exposed that time.
Those middlemen are considered traitors and can only be labeled as accomplices to us. The businessmen will be captured and their assets collected, and their employees will be ordered to leave and leave the business and find another job before being fined.
Those merchants from small ethnic groups had rich fortunes. They confiscated land, confiscated food, and sold off shops and real estate.
