"The man you killed is called Bobai. He belongs to Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner. He is one of the two leaders of Huang Taiji who spy on military intelligence. These two people are directly responsible to Huang Taiji and specialize in carrying out confidential tasks. Bobai's men are all useless. The elite among the Yala soldiers."
Yang Fanxin said, as expected, he had always suspected that that person was not simple, but he turned out to be so secretive.
"Bobai came to Damingji Town this time mainly to plan something. He secretly contacted the five tribes of Duoyan and Inner Khalkha to prepare to send troops from north to south to attack Lin Dan Khan's Wangchengbaicheng. Do you know who Lin Dan Khan is?" Tu Shan He looked into Yang Fan's eyes and said.
"Lin Dan Khan, I heard from my master, isn't he the great khan who rules Monan Mongolia? He seems to be the leader of the Chahar tribe," Yang Fan said.
He had been to Baicheng when he was a child. His family was from Weichang County, and the ruins of the ancient city were in Chifeng, not far away.
The latitude of Baicheng is similar to that of Shenyang, one is in the east and the other is in the west. One is on the grasslands of Inner Mongolia and the other is on the northeastern plains. Facing each other from a distance.
Tushan nodded and said: "He is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, and his surname is Bo'erzhijin. He is the thirty-fifth generation of the Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire. Chahar is also called Chahan, and their great Khan is also called Tushetu Khan. , the Ming Dynasty translated it as Tiger Crouching Rabbit Han. The tribe of Tushetu Khan was also called the Tuman tribe, which actually means the same thing. Their leader is the hereditary Mongolian Great Khan and is called the little prince."
"Is he very strong?" Yang Fan asked.
"Very strong! From Gansu to the Ergun River, Heilongjiang is within his scope of strength. The Tumut Tribe north of Jiayuguan, the Ordos Tribe outside Ningxia Town and Datong Town, the Duoyan Tribe outside Ji Town, and the Horqin Tribe in the east and west of Liaoning The Ministry, as well as the five Inner Khalkha tribes in the upper reaches of the Songhua River and the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River are all deployed by him. The land stretches thousands of miles away."
"After the rise of Jiannu, the threat to both the Ming and Chahar tribes was great. Starting from the Tianqi Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty assisted Chahar with 200,000 taels of silver in materials every year to help Lin Dan Khan stabilize the internal situation."
Stabilize the internal situation, Lin Dan has an internal problem! Yang Fan keenly grasped the key points.
Tu Shan looked at Yang Fan and stared at him, obviously hearing the key. Showing admiration.
"Previously, all Mongolian tribes believed in the Yellow Sect of Tibetan Buddhism. About ten years ago, Lin Dan Khan converted to the Red Sect. This caused various tribes to become alienated, and the Jiannu vigorously attracted the Outer Khalkha and Horqin, and gradually brought them together through wars and marriages. Pulled over."
"Then the north and east of Baicheng are surrounded by Jiannu," Yang Fan pondered.
"Yes, only the south is relatively stable. This time Bobai came to instigate the Duoyan tribe south of Baicheng to defect to Jiannu. The reason why Bobai appeared in the hinterland of Ji Town means that he has reached an agreement with the Duoyan tribe. Now Lin Dan Khan is already embattled on all sides."
Yang Fan said: "Why can Jian Nu mobilize the Duoyan tribe? They are not critical to Jian Nu. They are not under so much pressure and have never been married." Yang Fan asked doubtfully.
Tushan sighed.
"In the past two years, there has been a severe drought in Mongolia and Jiubian. The pastures have dried up and the rivers have dried up. The Mongolians can no longer survive. At this time, they will sacrifice their lives for whoever gives them food."
Yang Fan was even more surprised, "Isn't it that Ming Dynasty is helping them? They don't come to Ming Dynasty, but instead go to Jian Nu in the distance. This is too strange."
Tushan looked strange, as if he didn't know how to explain this problem. At this time, the sullen one-eyed dragon who had been silent until now spoke.
"After His Majesty ascended the throne, the treasury was empty, the country was in a state of chaos, and money was needed everywhere. It was really difficult to continue to assist Chahar. The first foreign policy decision His Majesty made was to stop the provision of silver grain to Chahar."
Yang Fan felt really bad. This Chongzhen was really unlucky. Withholding assistance at such a critical time wouldn't it have pushed Lin Danhan to death? The withdrawal of Chahar's aid caused the disintegration of Monan Mongolia. The various Mongolian tribes in Monan were given to Huang Taiji. Later, due to economic difficulties, the inn was abolished. The unemployed Li Chuangwang started over and started his own business without waiting for help. This emperor is really capable of causing trouble for himself.
"Does Jiannu have money and food? Aren't they suffering from the same drought? Why does Bobai's entry into the Ming Dynasty mean that Duoyan has taken refuge in Jiannu? What is Bobai doing in the Ming Dynasty?" Yang Fan asked a series of questions.
silence!
There was a long silence.
Yang Fan understood that it was not that no one could answer this question, but that no one dared to speak out.
There is only one explanation. Huang Taiji promised that Duoyan's food would come from Daming Pass. Damn it, there are traitors, very big traitors, and a traitor group with intricate connections. This matter is very deep.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for people in Dongchang not to dare to say anything in the secret room.
There are people in the court who are cooperating with Jian Nu, and they don’t know what benefit it will bring to them to overthrow Lin Dan Khan.
You are in danger!
Seeing Yang Fan's face turning pale, Tu Shan nodded with satisfaction, knowing that it was okay to be afraid.
Yang Fan weighed it quickly, his palms were sweating, and he really wanted to activate the ring and run back immediately. I don’t want to play anymore.
You must have a backer, and it is a very hard backer. Save your own life.
Yang Fan no longer hesitated, there were not many choices at all. If you were from Dongchang, not only would there be no danger in doing this, but it would even be a great achievement.
"Young man is willing to do your best for the Ming Dynasty." Yang Fan stood up and said with his hands raised.
"Hahaha" Tushan laughed heartily, "I know you know the current affairs, little brother."
Everyone stood up to congratulate him.
"From today on, Brother Yang is the captain of our Dongchang Chen Zi Ke, and is directly subordinate to Tushan Yue Stall. From now on, you must cooperate sincerely."
Everyone accepted the promise together.
"Since Chief Yang has joined our Dongchang, he should be rewarded based on his merits. This time, Chief Yang killed Jiannu's dark knight Jia La'e Zhenbo Bai, his son Niu Lu'e Zhen Gu Mang'an, and killed another dark knight, including There is one knight in clothes. According to the military merit system of the Ming Dynasty's border army, beheading a real slave will lead to a promotion to one level. Chief Yang can be promoted to three levels in a row. After passing the small flag, the general flag is promoted to Zunhua Guard Baihu. In view of the identity of the person beheaded He is distinguished and confidential and has made great achievements. He was also awarded the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi and was transferred back to Dongchang as the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi."
Seeing that Yang Fan was confused after hearing this. Tu Shanyue coughed. She was now Yang Fan's superior and had the responsibility to explain to him the relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
"It's normal that you don't understand. Dongchang was founded by Emperor Chengzu after Emperor Jingnan found that eunuchs were very effective, so he established Dongchang with eunuchs as admirals. All the personnel in Dongchang were transferred from Jinyiwei, so except for the governor who was a eunuch, everyone else in Dongchang He has the status of Jinyiwei. Officials at and above the rank of captain are all transferred from Jinyiwei."
After saying this, Yang Fan suddenly realized that Dongchang selected personnel from within Jinyiwei and did not recruit from the society at all. Jinyiwei itself is a secret agency, and Dongchang is even more secretive by selecting the best among the best.
Yang Ji, the one-eyed dragon sex official, also explained: "In our Dongji Office, the governor was initially held by the eunuch who was the eunuch in charge of the inner court, the leader of the ceremonial supervisor. Later, due to the complexity of the affairs, it was changed to the second or third highest ceremonial supervisor. The third eunuch, Bingbi, is appointed. Under the governor, there is only one person in charge of punishment for thousands of households, and one person for punishment of hundreds of households. They are called post punishment officers. They are responsible for the standing affairs of the prime minister's headquarters. "
"The headquarters has an official office, with more than 40 people in charge, foremen, and room clerks. They are allocated by Jin Yiwei to take care of the general affairs of the headquarters."
"The specific service is the subordinate office, which is divided into twelve branches, Zichou Yinmao. The stewards are also called sextons. The formal attire is a round hat, soap boots and a brown shirt."
"The interior of the twelve is divided into ten places according to A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin Ren, Kui. The director of the department is called a stall. There are a total of 120 stalls in the East Factory. There are chiefs under the stalls. There is no definite number of chiefs. There may be one department, or there may be multiple ones. The sergeant commander leads several subordinates, who are also called officers. There is no definite number. It depends on the actual needs. The specific person in charge of independent work is the stall head."
"The rest of the twelve have the same boots and hats, but they wear straight clothes. They all wear pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small ribbons."
"What is particularly important to note is that Chen is a dragon, and Chen Ke specializes in handling serious cases assigned by the emperor. You cannot join Chen Ke unless you have performed major meritorious services. Brother Yang, you will join Chen Ke as soon as you enter Dongchang. Your future is bright!"
