Today is a very happy day for my little girl. The gift she received was a Patek Philippe watch worth more than three million yuan.
Yang Fan specifically asked Yao Guang to add it to the new batch of teleportation materials.
Despite the distance of more than 600 years. There is no difference in girls’ love for watches. He even refuses to take off his little girly skin while sleeping.
"Obey, you can't sleep with this thing on. Be good and take it off."
Yang Fan had to talk hard before he took it off her Hao wrist. Xiao Niangpi carefully put the watch into a velvet-lined box and placed it next to the pillow. You have to keep it by your side when sleeping.
Lin Yueru looked at it with a look of resentment.
Xiao Niangpi lay next to Yang Fan, blowing her breath like orchid, "Sir, do you think His Majesty will agree to your request for patrolling the border?"
Yang Fan said indifferently: "What difference does it make if you agree or not? If you agree, I will take my 3,600 soldiers guarding Qianhu Station out and let them experience actual combat training. If you don't agree, I will take them with you." I will go out with my own servants and troops."
Lin Yueru said: "Master, don't worry, someone in the DPRK will impeach you for provoking provocations."
"It depends on the outcome of this battle. If I win, the Mongols outside Ji Town will no longer be able to go south, and there will be no such thing as provocation."
"What if we lose the fight?" Lin Yueru asked, looking at Yang Fan with watery eyes.
"With our strength, at most both sides will suffer losses, and Duoyan and Haraqin will not be easy off either. There are Chahar people to the north of them. Now we have arranged for Lin Danhan and gathered tens of thousands of Han people on the grassland into Jingangbai City , Farming land for Lin Danhan has enhanced his strength. When the time comes, the north and the south will be restrained, and we will not be afraid of losing this battle and causing serious consequences."
After hearing that Yang Fan had made all the arrangements, Lin Yueru and Xiao Niangpi fell asleep with peace of mind.
Listening to the two couples snoring, they fell into a sweet sleep.
Yang Fan sighed in his heart.
He didn't want to worry them, so he didn't say much. I'm afraid that after this battle, Yang Fan's strength will be greatly exposed, and the relationship with the emperor will be difficult to deal with in the future.
However, Yang Fan has developed to the point where he is now, and he can only move forward.
The next morning, Chongzhen's study room in the West Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace.
Chongzhen was sitting on a chair. On the desk in front of him were some secret reports that had just been submitted by spies outside Jinyiwei Pass.
Li Biao, the first assistant, Qian Longxi, the second assistant and great scholar, Wang Yongguang, the official minister, Bi Ziyan, the household minister, Wang Qia, the military minister, and Cao Yuqia, the imperial censor of Zuodu, stood at the emperor's left hand with their hands down.
Wang Chengen waited behind Chongzhen.
Jinyiwei commanded the Qianshi, led Jinyiweishi Luo Yangxing, and Tushan Yong, a thousand households in the East Factory, stood at the door.
The real leader of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty was the Jinyiwei who commanded the Qianshi and led the Jinyiwei. He is not the commander of the Imperial Guard who is in charge of daily work.
This is a tradition that began in the Yongle Dynasty.
Of course, if the commander of the Jinyiwei is followed by the words "leader of the Jinyiwei", then the commander of the Jinyiwei is the real leader.
Jinyiwei's command of Qianshi is only of the fourth grade. The Dongchang Qianhu was one of the fourteen Qianhu in Jinyiwei. The official rank is only the fifth rank. Although these two people have overwhelming power, everyone is afraid of them. But their actual official positions are not high.
The great scholars opposite are all of the first grade and the first grade, and the six ministers are all of the second grade. They really couldn't do anything, so they could only stand at the door. They were not qualified to stand opposite the civil servants.
Fortunately, this room is not big, less than twenty square meters. You can hear everything you say clearly.
"My dear friends, today we will have another discussion with Governor Yuan, and we sincerely request you to continue to reward Duoyan's tribes to alleviate the famine."
Second Assistant Qian Longxi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I impeach the left governor Mao Wenlong for collaborating with the enemy."
As soon as Qian Longxi said this, everyone was stunned.
I don’t know why Qian Longxi didn’t talk about subsidizing Mongolia, but instead attacked Mao Wenlong. There was no reaction for a moment.
Wang Chengen looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that Chongzhen had no expression on his face.
But the fingers hanging under the table were trembling slightly. Based on Wang Chengen's many years of experience in serving Chongzhen, His Majesty was a little unhappy.
"Second Assistant, do you have any evidence?" Wang Yongguang, the official minister, asked immediately.
Wang Yongguang is one of the rare neutral ministers who is not on the same side as Dong Lin.
He is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is responsible for the evaluation of officials across the country. As part of his responsibilities, he must intervene in this matter.
Mao Wenlong holds the title of Zuo Commandery and belongs to the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. His official rank is Zuojun (the Liaodong area where Mao Wenlong is run is called "Zuo", so it is called Zuojun). He is the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Commandant.
When the Second Assistant of the Dynasty impeached the military attaché Zheng Yipin, this was no small matter.
"In order to win over Taiji from Duoyan and Haraqin tribes, Huang Taiji Abahai (Huang Taiji), the chief of the Jiannu slaves, is selling rice grains to them," Qian Longxi said.
After research, Huang Taiji's real name was Abahai. Meaning "wolf"
The original meaning of Nurhaci in Manchu is "wild boar skin", Shuerhaqi is "little wild boar skin", Yarhaqi is "leopard skin", and Dorgon is "badger", so Huang Taiji is named "Canglang" "Very reasonable.
The word Taiji is the Chinese word for prince. It was borrowed by the Mongols and called Taiji.
When studying the Mongolian social system, Russian historian Vladimir Tsov said: "The uppermost layer of the feudal class, that is, the kings of the Genghis Khan family who owned the land, were no longer called Kebwen in the Yuan Dynasty, but were called Borrowed from the Chinese taiji."
After the middle and late Ming Dynasty, all Mongolian nobles could be legitimately called Taiji, and it became a common title or name for Mongolian nobles. Adding the words "Huang, Hui, Hong, Hong" before the ordinary Taiji title indicates that the identity is unique.
Therefore, Huang Taiji is the highest level of Taiji. It is a very noble honorific.
Wang Yongguang retorted: "Jiannu's territory suffered from drought for three consecutive years, and crops failed in large areas. The excess rice they got was sold to various Mongolian tribes."
Qian Longxi snorted coldly and said: "Jiannu didn't even have enough food to eat, so naturally there was no surplus food. However, some people secretly collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. They secretly contacted Mao Wenlong, the left governor of Pidao and the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town. Mao Wenlong imported it from North Korea. The rice was then sold privately to the slaves."
Wang Yongguang said: "Is there any concrete evidence?"
Qian Longxi took out a secret report and said: "This is the information I found among business people in North Korea, and I intercepted some letters between Jiannu, which involves secret transactions between Dongjiang Town and Jiannu."
As he spoke, he handed over the relevant letters.
Chongzhen did not speak, but picked up the letter and observed it carefully.
They are all letters between officials of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty who were stationed near the Yalu River. The letters were wrinkled, stained, and stained with blood. Judging from the appearance of the envelope and letter paper, it is indeed Liao paper made in Liaodong and does not look like a forgery. The letter reads:
Our country's food supply is enough to feed our own people. However, the Mongolian tribesmen came with their troops to surrender incessantly and generously supported them, so there was not enough rice and grain.
On the third day of April in the second year of Tiancong, Du Leng, the son-in-law of the Aohan tribe (Mongolian tribe), was given the title of Jinong. First, Du Leng of the Aohan tribe, because Chahar Khan killed his brothers unethically and did not care for the people, opened the Manchukuo Kingdom and Tian Cong Khan loved to care for the people and returned with his tribe. Therefore, he was given the title Jinong.
The Zalut tribe (Mongolian tribe), Seben, Mani, and Wen Tiancong Khan were good at raising people and returned with their troops.
You and Mao Wenlong have been paying you for seven years. How can I be like him and ask for it for no reason? But this year, if the market buys food for a year, you should be given food. When I am in embarrassment, if you can help me, we will see harmony and friendship.
The two paths of Ping'an and Huanghai are actually broken, but the overall situation is not damaged, and the other six paths remain the same. If you wish to help each other with grain, you can transport it by the Yalu River or by sea.
In February of the first year of Chongzhen (the first year of Chongzhen), North Korea implemented this statement and mined three thousand shi of rice, donated 2,000 shi to the Kingdom of Jin, and used one thousand shi as merchandise, which was traded in Zhongjiang in the middle of the Yalu River. This was the beginning of Zhongjiang trade.
Qian Yongxi said: "According to Yizhou's report, the trade volume in the letter was more than 84,000 taels of silver."
"There are many secret reports from North Korea. Mao Wenlong opened a market in Pi Island and collected taxes." Governor Mao was on the island, picking up merchants, and collecting taxes in one year, which amounted to a huge amount. …In our country, merchants from outside the capital gathered on Lidong Island (North Korea’s name for Pi Island), and there were countless people carrying silver ginseng in exchange for trade goods.” So North Korea said, “There is a horse market on the island, so the translator Merchants are always busy doing business.”
This is a very serious accusation. The problem is not that Mao Wenlong was smuggling privately, but that he was a collaborator with the enemy and smuggled extremely scarce food and other materials to the Jiannu slaves.
Pi Island is called Lidao in Korean historical materials. Because it is located to the east of the Yalu River, it was called Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty.
"Mao Wenlong was in Pidao, recruiting merchants, selling forbidden goods, and became famous for helping Korea. He left the fortress in full force. When nothing happened, he made a living selling ginseng and selling cloth. When something happened, he rarely used it."
“According to the minister’s investigation, Pidao plays an important role as a trade intermediary. North Korean merchants transport ginseng, silver, grain, rice, etc. to Pidao, and exchange them from Pidao merchants for daily necessities such as silks, satins, green cloth, and paper from the mainland of the Central Plains. Mao Wenlong instructed the Shandong merchants he recruited to sell them to Houjin merchants who were in urgent need of these items, and then exchanged them for ginseng, silver and mink skins from the Houjin merchants."
"Mao Wenlong was reaping the benefits of trade between the three countries but did not want to end it all. He has betrayed the great trust of the imperial court and should be punished."
After Qian Longxi finished speaking, he returned to his seat and waited for Chongzhen's decision.
Everyone was a little silent for a while. The commander-in-chief of the border town had been doing business with the Tartars privately, and he had been forbidden to do so since the Hongwu period. In the final analysis, it is all caused by huge profits.
For more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, no one who did not do business would have such a clean Bian Shuai.
Of course, Mao Wenlong, because he was alone overseas, believed that the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, so he did go a bit too far. But it's not easy to use this to treat Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong is not a fool, he is just attracting investment. As for the transactions, on the surface they were all trade between Jiannu, Korean and Shandong merchants. He was just collecting taxes, so what did it have to do with him. You say he is a collaborator, can you find any evidence?
At most, he did not strictly inspect the merchants who came to build slaves. There can be serious crimes there.
However, Donglin suddenly attacked Dongjiang Town, which made everyone sneer. There isn’t a fool standing here, who doesn’t know who he is.
You people have taken over the foreign trade along the southeast coast and are not satisfied yet. This is because the trade between the three countries in Pidao is so prosperous, so I want to get involved.
