Could it be that Beiyuan didn't want to better control the grassland? Lan
No, it's that they simply can't do it.
Even when Meng Yuan moved into the Central Plains, the grassland in Bei Yuan is now in chaos.
You must know that here in the grassland, there are a large number of tribes. Rather than saying that they are the Beiyuan Dynasty, it is more accurate to call them the Beiyuan Tribal Alliance.
The various tribes below are like the warlords who once separated themselves from the Central Plains. They completely listen to the instructions of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and do not listen to the announcement.
If you really don't like something, just run away.
This is also a major feature of the grassland. Without a fixed residence, Beiyuan itself does not dare to put too much pressure on most tribes.
Of course, if one or two small tribes are disobedient, they can just teach them casually. Lan
For example, the large tribe of Guilichi is not particularly obedient in many aspects. Even Beiyuan is currently difficult to say to start directly, for fear of causing greater conflicts.
It's not that Beiyuan doesn't want to, it's just that he can't do it.
Zhu Ying spread her hands and said: "There is nothing that can't be done. To put it simply, the Chamber of Commerce at the Ming border will conduct a registration."
"This registered number is the specific cargo details. You can send enough cavalry to protect the caravan and be responsible for the safety of the caravan on the road."
"In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone."
"As for the escorting troops, they can be given a part of the commission for each escort. It is not a wasted trip. I believe many people are quite willing. They can also walk their horses often. What a good thing."
What Zhu Ying meant was that he directly treated Beiyuan's army as a bodyguard agency, which was equivalent to an official escort. Lan
If it can really be achieved, it will definitely be a huge breakthrough in the grassland area.
This method really shocked all the officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, including Elbek, and even the Han officials of the Northern Yuan Dynasty fell into deep thinking.
In terms of business, it seems that no one can keep up with Zhu Ying's pace.
From this perspective, all Zhu Ying's current arrangements are sincere and sufficient preparations for the development of Beiyuan.
Such a good and complete strategy is definitely not something that can be thought of in a single thought.
Elbek was really touched at this moment.
He felt that these things must have been personally explained by His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the friendship back then. Lan
Beiyuan discussed for a long time, and after a lively incense stick, Ou Anmin, a veteran Han minister below, as a representative, nodded to Elbek and felt that this method was completely feasible.
In fact, the development of this model is based on the situation where the two countries coexist peacefully. Once a war breaks out, it will be completely invalidated.
But now Beiyuan has no other choice. The embargo has caused too much damage to them.
If we really want to ban it for a few more years, it is estimated that Beiyuan will either undergo a large-scale migration or be overturned and change ownership.
After setting the direction, it is considered as agreed.
However, specific matters still require more in-depth exchanges and detailed discussions. These matters do not need to be agreed upon by Elbek and Zhu Ying, but are handled through consultation by the ministers of both parties.
It may only take a day or two for all the articles of association to be negotiated, and then Elbek and Zhu Ying will stamp them, which will be considered a complete completion of the negotiations. Lan
Elbek felt a little bored here, so he invited Zhu Ying to go out for a walk.
Zhu Ying has nothing to be afraid of. With his personal force, it is Elbek who should be worried.
If you were to attack hard, it wouldn't take too much effort to kill him directly. Those Elbek guards seemed to be extremely tough, but in Zhu Ying's eyes, they just took a few more breaths. effort.
Elbek looked at Zhu Ying's Xuanjia Guard and said with a smile: "The grandson's horse is really good. It must be raised with the most plump fresh grass."
Zhu Ying explained with a smile: "Khan didn't know something. Now in our Ming Dynasty, there is a new crop called corn, but I have heard about it."
Elbek nodded and said: "I have heard of this, not only corn, but also sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes."
"It is said that you have a great yield and are relatively easy to plant. You have solved the problem of feeding many people and played a great role in the development of today's Ming Dynasty." Lan.
Speaking of this, Elbek sighed a little.
If there were such high-yield crops during the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, then the current Central Plains must still be in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Zhu Yingdao; "Corn is a crop, but its stalks are richer in nutrients than pasture, especially for livestock. It is like an extremely delicious meal."
"The comparison with concentrated feed is also very different. If fed for a long time, it will grow stronger and stronger."
"The yield of corn is extremely high. Corn cobs can be eaten by ordinary people, and corn stalks can be eaten by livestock. It is a very good treasure."
Elbek became interested as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked: "This corn is in the Ming Dynasty's trade list with me, Beiyuan."
Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Of course it is. The current planting area is not large. As the planting area increases, more grassland can be supplied in the future." Lan
When Elbek heard this, he was silent for a while, and then asked seriously: "Grandson, I think you also understand that the growth of the grassland is not good for the Central Plains."
"But why do you support the grassland so much?"
"I'm very surprised. It was you who proposed the embargo in the first place, and now it's you who are supporting the grassland. Aren't you afraid that we, the Northern Yuan, will invade the Central Plains after it rises again?"
"There are some things. Even if I am the Emperor of Beiyuan, I may not be able to decide everything."
Elbek's words can be said to truly express all his thoughts.
From the emperor's perspective, Beiyuan had enough benefits this time. He felt that although King Zhu Di of Yan was very important, it was not worth doing so on the premise of conflicts with the Ming Taisun.
Everyone is very clear about the character of the nomadic people. Once they rise, they will inevitably invade the Central Plains. Lan
I really don’t understand what the Ming Taisun’s purpose was.
Zhu Ying did not answer directly, but looked into the distance and asked in a leisurely voice: "Khan, look, is this grassland big?"
Elbek didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Ming Dynasty, so he could only answer: "Big, big, you can't see the side at a glance."
Zhu Ying smiled: "In my opinion, it is very small. It is as small as one or two million people in Beiyuan, which is a bit too big to fit in."
"The territory that Genghis Khan had back then was considered large enough. Today's Oara, Eastern Chagatai Khanate, Golden Horde, and today's Timur. If we look further ahead, there are even wider territories. "
"With the strength of the grassland and the strength of the Ming Dynasty, the territory should not only be this small."
"Khan, tell me, if the Mongol and Yuan dynasties were as prosperous as the Ming Dynasty today, would it be possible for them to be as grand as Genghis Khan?"
Elbek didn't understand what Zhu Ying wanted to express, so he followed the words and said: "If this is really the case, I think it is very likely."
In fact, Elbek did not say that in his heart, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty in front of him was a being similar to Genghis Khan.
Zhu Ying continued; "Today's negotiation is extremely beneficial to Beiyuan, and I know it very well."
"But what I want is the cooperation between Daming and Beiyuan."
"Today's Ming Dynasty is the most prosperous country in the world. No matter in terms of military, politics, system, or people's lives, no other country can compare with it."
"The most powerful thing about Beiyuan is the cavalry, but as my Ming Dynasty's firecrackers continue to improve, it will not be an easy task for the prairie cavalry to enter the pass in the future."
"If you don't mention it in the future, at least after I ascend the throne, this possibility will no longer be possible." Lan
Hearing this, Elbek also expressed his acquiescence. Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhu Ying's words were indeed true.
Zhu Ying continued: "The current population on the grassland has actually completely exceeded the capacity of the grassland. I already discovered this when I was still working in the Qunying Chamber of Commerce."
"If I want to drag Bei Yuan to death, it only takes five years to impose an embargo. Then Bei Yuan will surely endure civil strife, which will lead to subversion."
"It's just that the chaotic grassland doesn't mean much to the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Khan, I and my grandfather are very familiar with each other."
"Overseas, in the Japanese country, in Annan, Champa, places that Kublai Khan could not capture in the past, now the Ming Dynasty has achieved great success. Maybe as long as I send an edict, they can easily change hands. Submit to the Ming Dynasty."
"The grasslands cost too much troops for the Ming Dynasty. Almost a quarter of the country's troops are guarding the grasslands at the border. This has caused great obstacles to the Ming Dynasty's outward development."
"If Beiyuan can really cooperate with Ming Dynasty, then Ming Dynasty can mobilize more troops to expand to the south, and Bei Yuan can also go north and west to conquer more territories." Lan
"My Ming Dynasty can't defeat it, how can you, Bei Yuan, be able to defeat it?"
"Why should our two countries waste our lives at each other's expense?"
Zhu Ying's meaning was already very obvious.
But naturally he can't say anything about the black land now.
When it comes to the black soil, we can only try to conceal it as much as possible after stabilizing Beiyuan.
We will naturally know it later, but by that time, there should be no possibility of Beiyuan falling out.
Not just on the black soil, Zhu Ying actually has a longer-term plan. Lan
It's just that Elbek doesn't seem to understand Zhu Ying's thoughts.
After a moment of silence, Elbek asked: "I really can't think of any good way to cooperate with Bei Yuan now."
"The main reason is that we cannot have stable control at the moment. If there is any good way, I would like to ask my grandson for advice."
After finishing speaking, Elbek bowed and bowed.
Even when facing the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, who was one generation younger than himself and even younger, Elbek behaved very modestly.
In today's world, no one in the countries close to the Ming Dynasty knows that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was created by the grandson in front of him who had just reached his prime.
The existence of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce is already a legend in itself, and the current Ming Dynasty is even more legendary among legends. Lan
Looking through the past dynasties, the Ming Dynasty's comprehensive national strength is now probably at the forefront.
And such a change, only after careful reflection, we find that it only happened in a few short years after the Ming Dynasty Taisun was canonized.
Such a terrifying natural king is still in control of the most powerful dynasty. To fight against him is to seek death.
Now that I think about it, Elbek is still a little scared. If his minister of war had not caught the King of Yan, Zhu Di, in a few years, the Northern Yuan Dynasty would have fallen apart under the plan of the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
In the past half year or so, Elbek has felt exhausted both physically and mentally, struggling to survive.
Fortunately, the current grandson of the Ming Dynasty has the intention to cooperate. This is probably the best news that Elbek has received since he came to the throne.
Zhu Ying thought for a while and said, "I know the situation in Beiyuan relatively well." Lan
"In fact, for Beiyuan, the biggest problem is that it restricts the development of the population and all aspects of the economy."
"To put it simply, what looks like a huge grassland is actually like a bird in a cage."
"To the north is a bitter and cold land. Life is even more miserable than it is now. There is no room for development at all."
"It goes without saying that going to the south, my current soldiers at the border of Ming Dynasty, I think Khan knows very well how much price they have to pay. Even those who fight against the autumn wind, few of them dare to get close now."
"Towards Sivaara and the Chagatai Khanate in the East, the two forces are intertwined. Although the Beiyuan is stronger than any of them now, once it passes, it will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the two."
"The land of Liaodong to the east is a land of barren mountains and harsh waters, and there are also Jurchen tribes. Although they are few in number, they are extremely tough, and fighting them will not be of much use."
"Looking at it this way, the southeast, northwest, and four directions are like barriers, locking the seemingly powerful Bei Yuan here." Lan
"Khan, I was right."
Upon hearing this question, Elbek could only nod helplessly.
This is Beiyuan's biggest dilemma at present.
The grassland itself cannot nurture the powerful Bei Yuan, and the Bei Yuan, which is in decline, is even more unable to conquer other forces. It is a mess internally.
Zhu Ying turned her head slightly, looked at Elbek seriously, and said slowly: "The Ming Dynasty has money, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty has soldiers."
"If I say that I am willing to spend money to ask Beiyuan to send troops to help me conquer the world, what does the Khan want?"
At this point, Zhu Ying finally revealed his purpose. Lan
Yes, he just wanted to develop Beiyuan into a country similar to mercenaries.
Judging from the current situation, this is possible.
If this can be achieved, then Beiyuan will not be a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
After gradual penetration, Beiyuan will slowly integrate into the Ming Dynasty's system.
In the development of civilization, the advanced civilization will have an extremely strong attraction to the backward civilization.
There is no comparison in some things. When the two parties compare, various aspects such as benefits, treatment, living environment, etc. will have a huge impact on the weaker party.
To put it simply, after the cavalry on the grassland experienced the prosperity of following the Ming Dynasty, would they still be willing to return to the grassland? Lan
I think most of them are unwilling.
Among them, there is a very key point, that is, the Mongolian culture is very weak and does not have much advantages. In addition, the current Beiyuan is the former Mongolian Yuan.
In the current Northern Yuan Dynasty, many Mongolians have been missing their lives in the Central Plains.
Even the children born later on the grasslands will listen to their father or mother talk about the beautiful memories of life in the Central Plains.
The difference between barbarism and civilization is really like a chasm in today's world.
Elbek frowned. He did not expect that Zhu Ying wanted to borrow troops from Beiyuan.
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty was short of soldiers?
The Ming Dynasty had two million soldiers. How could it think highly of his more than 100,000 cavalry?
If a large number of cavalry were loaned out, wouldn't Beiyuan be in danger?
The tribe here is already ready to make a move. How can we suppress it in the future?
"I don't quite understand what Taisun means. Could you please explain it in detail?"
After hesitating for a moment, Elbek did not directly deny it, but asked again.
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Bei Yuan now has many tribes and their troops are in chaos."
"Although our Ming Dynasty has enough troops, the territory it guards is too vast, and it is extremely difficult to expand externally." Lan
"I intend to form a joint team of Beiyuan and Ming Dynasty. The cavalry of Beiyuan, coupled with the infantry and firearms of Ming Dynasty, will be almost crushing for many small countries."
"I also know Khan's worries, but Khan has forgotten one thing. When it is profitable, there is no need to send troops by himself. Those tribes will naturally choose to seek a way out, as long as Khan can guarantee them that in their youth After Zhuang goes out, he can protect the safety of the tribe."
"At the same time, the Khan can also collect an appropriate part of the tax from those tribal cavalry who go out to fight and receive rewards. In this way, it will not only better maintain the stability of Beiyuan today, but also give the tribe a new way out."
"For most tribes, they are more concerned about how to live. I can promise Khan that as long as the tribe is willing to send troops, they can advance part of the money and food in advance and settle the settlement when they return."
"The cavalry who died in battle also received generous pensions."
Hearing these words, Elbek was greatly moved.
What he has always been most worried about is the impact of various tribes on Beiyuan. Lan
As the former overlord of the grasslands, Beiyuan actually had a strong acclimatization after being launched from the Central Plains.
Beiyuan, which seems to be a huge force, is actually riddled with holes in the lower-level institutions.
And Elbek himself was not a hero, and he only felt overwhelmed by the many annoying things.
Now that there is such a good way in front of us, there is nothing worth hesitating about.
"Okay, this is a good method. They will definitely be willing to borrow troops. By then, I, Beiyuan, will be able to stabilize."
"As long as the great grandson can do this and solve the problem of food for the people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, we, the Northern Yuan Dynasty, can also forever be friends with the Qin and Jin Dynasties in the Ming Dynasty."
Elbek laughed heartily and said in a very comfortable mood. Lan
This can be regarded as a solution to his urgent need. Moreover, if he follows this path, Beiyuan will have real dominance over the grassland.
Of course, he also knew that Daming was going to use his Beiyuan cavalry to charge, but what did it matter?
Could the situation get any worse than it is now?
As for the aspects of civilized assimilation planned by Zhu Ying, it has basically touched Elbek's intellectual blind spot.
Not to mention Elbek, even in today's world, no matter how talented and learned the Ming Dynasty is, there is no concept of civilized assimilation. The export of Chinese culture in the past was not an active spread, but the passive spread of the surrounding small countries. Just absorb.
Seeing Elbek's excitement, Zhu Ying struck while the iron was hot and said, "To be honest with Khan, I have a small request. I wonder if Khan can agree to it."
Elbek smiled and said, "My grandson, please speak frankly." Lan
Zhu Ying said: "There are many Han ministers in the Northern Yuan Dynasty. I know that they do not respect the Khan. Many of them have close contacts with Prince Hal and have conflicts with the position of the Khan."
"The Han ministers occupy high positions, which is dissatisfying to the Mongolian nobles. Can the Khan hand over all these Han ministers to me for disposal?"
Elbek frowned suddenly and said: "This is not very good. Although they have some problems in various aspects, in any case, they have all served me Beiyuan, and most of them have made many achievements. Credit."
"Such words would chill people's hearts."
Zhu Ying nodded slightly.
Of course he knew that Elbek would not do this. He just raised a relatively high-level question first so that he could discuss the subsequent issues more easily.
"I was rude, but I can't stand these Han ministers." Lan
"In this way, if I use some means to target them, if they ask the Khan to resign on their own, please ask the Khan to let them come over, and don't stop them by force."
He had refused once before, but now Zhu Ying had to settle for the next best thing. It seemed impolite to refuse again.
After all, from the beginning of the negotiation to the present, Zhu Yingke has given Beiyuan a lot of benefits. On a deeper level, it has helped Beiyuan consolidate its dominance.
Elbek himself did not like those Han officials. The main reason was that they were not completely loyal to him, but more loyal to his younger brother Khaltaj. This made Elbek's heart I have always been very unhappy.
Just for the sake of Beiyuan's overall situation, we can't touch them.
Now that we have the help of Ming Taisun, there is no need to care about them.
"Okay, if they leave on their own, of course I won't care." Lan
"Thank you Khan."
The two looked at each other and smiled, extremely satisfied with the current negotiation.
As the negotiations progressed, the details were gradually finalized.
The two parties, who were once at war with each other, immediately became very good friends after this round of negotiations.
Among them, Ou Anmin and other Han ministers were the most embarrassed.
When the two forces are no longer hostile, their identities become somewhat eye-catching.
Moreover, after Zhu Ying's previous ridicule of them, some of the respect Qi Tai and others had for Ou Anmin was gone. Lan
The results of the negotiations quickly spread between Daming and Beiyuan.
Before that, Zhu Ying naturally guided the public opinion in the Di newspaper and publicized that the grassland in the future would not become a threat to the Ming Dynasty.
The Di Bao is a powerful weapon that allows people to hear what they want to say.
Easily control public opinion.
Otherwise, such behavior, driven by thoughtful people, could easily have a big impact on Zhu Ying's reputation.
Although the Ming Dynasty is considered to be a peaceful country and the people are safe, in fact, the internal affairs are much smaller. They will seize any opportunity to slander the Ming Dynasty.
This is extremely unavoidable no matter what time or era it is. Lan
If you want more than 160 million people in the Ming Dynasty to be united, you will know that it is completely impossible.
To use Zhu Ying's idea, that is to unite the majority of people and eliminate a small number of people.
As long as the general trend is there, a little storm is nothing.
After the negotiations, King Yan Zhu Di was quickly released, which was the first sincerity expressed by Beiyuan.
After all, it is a negotiation between major powers. As the grandson of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying's credibility is still very high. There is no need for Elbek to make both sides unhappy just for this little time.
Zhu Ying did not leave Beiyuan immediately after the negotiation.
Instead, he personally took charge of the border and established the Border Trade Department. Lan
This point can be said to show Ming's sincerity to a great extent.
The establishment of the Border Trade Department started with the determination of grassland commodity prices. Among the official procurement prices, plus part of the transportation costs, it was almost the purchase price in the Jiangnan area.
This price is quite friendly for the grassland.
The same materials used by the grassland people before were equivalent to an overall increase of three or four times in value.
The same fur, which could once be exchanged for one stone of food, could now be exchanged for more than three stones.
The rise in prices will have a huge impact on smugglers at the border.
When smuggling is not so profitable, who would be willing to take huge risks to do this business. Lan
The rampant foundation of smuggling is itself based on huge profits.
In the border areas, in order to express sincerity, Beiyuan specially dispatched 10,000 cavalry as bodyguards to protect the trade routes. Any lawbreakers on the prescribed routes would be subject to their jurisdiction.
The discipline of the Mongolian cavalry was very poor, so the people responsible for controlling them were the hundreds of households sent by the Ming Dynasty.
These hundreds of households never dreamed that one day they would become the generals of Beiyuan.
You must know that their current status is tantamount to dual appointments. They have also been canonized by Bei Yuan and have powers equivalent to those of Bei Yuan generals.
This made the Mongolian cavalry also have to obey their orders.
Because of cultural differences, the laws were basically formulated with reference to the Ming Dynasty. Those Han officials seemed to have caught some wind and became much more low-key during the negotiation process. Lan
In less than half a month, with the cooperation of Beiyuan and Daming, mutual markets were established on the grassland.
A large number of grassland tribes came here to trade, and Elbek's reputation suddenly resounded throughout the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Whether it is the people of the Ming Dynasty or the herdsmen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, for them, it is not very important who is under their rule. What is important is who can keep them fed. This is the most important thing.
For people who don’t even have enough to eat, who cares about national justice, let alone those who are uneducated and don’t understand what they are talking about.
The most miserable people here are probably Shanxi merchants.
After the Qunying Chamber of Commerce broke away, Shanxi Shanxi merchants rose up, filling the previous gaps and completely monopolizing the smuggling industry.
And because of the embargo, they even drove up prices, making a lot of money. Lan
Now that everything has been released, the herdsmen are not fools. There is no need to buy their expensive supplies.
Even for luxury goods such as snowflake salt and porcelain that are in demand by nobles, the Ming Chamber of Commerce can also provide them.
Some of the smarter Mongolian herdsmen even made large purchases.
Because the Ming Dynasty's goods are cheap, they can make more profits. After starting from the Ming Dynasty, they can sell them to Oara and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, thereby earning more.
In the current northwest region, a large amount of corn has begun to be planted. After Zhu Ying's promotion, corn stalks have become a necessity for grassland herdsmen.
The originally thin cattle and sheep, after being fed corn feed, completely changed their appearance in just half a month. This is an effect that even the most delicious forage cannot achieve.
In less than a month, corn feed has become the best-selling product here on the grassland. Lan
Herdsmen can simply feed their cattle and sheep and sell them to Daming at a good price.
Even the milk produced by the cow will become much sweeter and richer.
A month later, Zhu Ying began to make arrangements for Hanchen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Because of this month of getting along, the hostility between the two countries has become much less. Even in the Beiyuan court camp, many Ming businessmen can be seen.
Through Jinyiwei's inquiries and the help of Elbek, Zhu Ying controlled almost all the information about Hanchen of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Immediately afterwards, the clans of these Han officials were investigated within the Ming Dynasty.
The key point is Ou Anmin. Lan
After all, he now has a great influence on Beiyuan Hanchen. As long as he is the first to capture him, the rest of the matter will become much simpler.
The European surname is widely distributed, with Guangdong and Hunan accounting for 60% of the population.
However, Ou Anmin's clan is located in Xinzheng, Henan.
After all, Ou Anmin is relatively well-known, and you can easily find out after a little inquiry.
After receiving the news, the team led by Song Zhong immediately went to Xinzheng, Henan.
.....
Xinzheng County, Henan Province. Lan
Here, Ou Anmin's family is considered to be an extremely high-ranking landowning gentry.
The rise of the Ou family in Xinzheng is naturally inseparable from Ou Anmin. After all, at the end of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Ou Anmin was a second-rank Han minister.
At that time, of course he took great care of his family.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang swept the world, Xinzheng Ou family did not suffer much impact.
Although Henan has the word "nan", it actually belongs to the northern region, that is, the northern Han people. As a battleground for military strategists in the world, the people here are strong all year round.
Because of the relationship between the Meng Yuan Dynasty and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the unattached aristocratic families suffered heavy losses. Xinzheng Ou family gradually grew up in the late Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
Xinzheng Ou family is naturally willing to spend a lot of money on education, so basically all the family members, old and young, have attended private schools. Lan
This also led to the fact that in addition to Ou'anmin, there were many tribesmen who developed in official careers.
For example, the current magistrate of Xinzheng County is from the Ou clan.
Song Zhong was already familiar with this information before arriving in Xinzheng, so the first step was to go directly to the magistrate's office.
The magistrate's office in Xinzheng is extremely impressive. As Xinzheng in Zhongxian County, it is even more impressive than the magistrate's office in the upper county.
When Song Zhong arrived with his people, the Xinzheng Magistrate's Yamen did not receive any news.
The yamen servant of the prefecture's yamen looked at the sudden appearance of dozens of Tiqi in front of him with a confused look on his face, but he had not yet reacted.
After seeing the Jin Yiwei's token, the guards at the city gate had no time to notify them. Lan
"You are?"
A yamen servant bravely asked, with a hint of trembling in his tone.
Everyone can see that the identity under this brocade garment must be extraordinary.
"Jin Yiwei is doing something, get out of here."
Without waiting for Song Zhongshi's words, Qianhu, the Jin Yiwei guard next to him, went up and scolded him.
The two government officials didn't dare to say anything, so they immediately got out of the way.
Dozens of people got off their horses and went straight to the yamen. Lan
At this time, Ou Shuzhong, the magistrate of Xinzheng County, was taking a lunch break in the background.
Immediately he was awakened by the noise, and he shouted unhappily: "Who is making such a loud noise here to disturb my rest?"
The turbulent Jin Yiwei didn't give the government servants any time to react.
Rampage all the way into the backyard.
Song Zhong looked at the magistrate in front of him who was wearing plain clothes and with disheveled hair. He took out the token from his waist and said: "Song Zhong, the envoy of Jinyi Guards in the capital, was ordered by the Taisun to interrogate Xinzheng Ou's collusion with Bei Yuan in treason. .”
"Let's go to your yamen and explain everything to me."
Mr. Song said with a sneer. At the same time, Qianhu next to him immediately took out Taisun's decree. Lan
The prescribed regulations still need to be followed.
Ou Shuzhong suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue. He took the order tremblingly and checked the above content. It was exactly the same as what Song Zhong said. The Taisun's seal below was clear and there was no falsehood at all.
"It's an injustice. It's such a huge injustice."
"That Ou Anmin disappeared thirty years ago and has never had any contact with the family. This must be framed by some villain."
"I, the Ou clan, work hard in Xinzheng and have never committed any treason."
Song Zhong sneered and said, "Don't shout about injustice. Do you know why you are suddenly being investigated for Ou's family?"
"This is what His Highness Taisun saw with his own eyes at the frontline border. Ou Anmin is an important minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at the moment, and he has many plans secretly." Lan.
"As members of his tribe, you received his favor during the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, so you still have reasons that you don't know about."
"Don't let me use force. You can be considered a scholar. Just follow me honestly."
Ou Shuzhong seemed to have been drained of all his energy, and his whole body was crumbling.
Since the royal guards of the capital are here in person, this must be a serious case.
He could only follow him to the Yamen lobby.
This lobby had always been the place where he handled official business, but now it had become the place where he interrogated himself.
Song Zhong sat at the top, where Ou Shuzhong once sat, and was not in a hurry to handle the case. Lan
Drinking tea leisurely, as if waiting for someone to arrive.
Ou Shuzhong was kneeling on the ground in white clothes and did not dare to speak first.
After about two sticks of incense, there was a burst of noise outside.
Ou Shuzhong didn't think anything at first, but when the sound got closer, his eyes widened instantly.
He heard familiar voices, they were all members of the Ou clan.
This also means that the Jin Yiwei in front of them has probably captured all the Ou family members.
It's just that at this time, Ou Shuzhong was already unable to protect himself when the Clay Bodhisattva crossed the river, so how could he still have the ability to protect his people. Lan
As the door opened, Ou Shuzhong turned around and saw that everyone, old and young, had been arrested.
The leader was the commander of the garrison near Xinzheng. Apparently, in order to capture the Ou family, they directly bypassed the military forces in Xinzheng County and dispatched the garrison troops directly.
"Wang Lingte, the commander of Guideweidu, is here to return his orders."
"According to the investigation, the Ou family tree has a total of 486 people, 19 of whom are working as officials, 34 of whom are studying abroad, and 25 of whom are absent due to business. Except for Ou Shuzhong and five other people in the county government, The remaining four hundred and three were arrested and brought to justice."
Song Zhong nodded and said, "Put it in."
Following the order from Wang Ling, the commander of Guide Guards, the sergeants outside pressed more than 400 members of the Ou family into the county government office.
Fortunately, the county government office is big enough, otherwise it would not be able to fit in it. Lan
There was a large area of people kneeling on the ground, filling up the county government lobby and the corner of the front yard.
All the old, weak, women and children, including the children who were a few months old, were brought over directly.
The Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty pays attention to being clean and tidy when doing things. Even if they were born yesterday, they have to be carried today.
Song Zhong did not take the lead in interrogating Ou Shuzhong, but slowly bowed his hands to the capital commander, and then asked: "Commander Wang, can you find the name of the treacherous minister Ou Anmin in the genealogy?"
Wang Ling clasped his fists and replied: "Reporting to the Governor of Song Dynasty, the humble position is not listed in the genealogy. Looking for the name of the traitor."
Song Zhong snorted coldly, glanced at the Ou family members who were kneeling outside, and turned to Ou Shuzhong: "It seems that you have been prepared for it. You probably want to use the name of the genealogy to say that Ou Anmin has been expelled from the clan a long time ago." Ji, what you do and do has nothing to do with you, right?"
"In my opinion, this is a guilty conscience. If you don't know the whereabouts of Ou Anmin, why bother to go to all the trouble to remove his name from the family tree? Everyone knows that Ou Anmin is the imperial censor of the Yushitai of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. , occupying the second-grade official rank, I am proud of you Xinzheng Ou family." Lan
"Playing such a trick now is enough to show that there is something wrong in his heart."
"It seems that the secret collusion with Bei Yuan was indeed His Highness Taisun's keen eye. The evidence is conclusive now, do you have anything else to say?"
"Let me tell you first. The Jinyi Guards are doing things. They kill first and report later. With the imperial authority and the decree of His Highness Taisun, today I will kill everyone in your Ou family. It's just a thought of this officer."
"I advise you to think carefully and don't say anything unjust to me."
After Song Zhong finished speaking, before Ou Shuzhong could reply, the yamen was already crying.
Hearing the words of the whole family being executed, all the Ou family members, women, young men, clan elders, etc., all expressed their grievances.
It makes people upset when they hear it. Lan
Song Zhong immediately waved his hand, and then more than a dozen Jin Yiwei came out, shouting and being silent.
Those who were disobedient would be slapped with a slap in the face, and those who went further would be slapped in the face with the scabbard, causing blood to splash everywhere.
They didn't care about the old people, women or children in the crowd, they just beat them up.
Soon, the yamen immediately became quiet.
Even though she was sobbing, she was covering her mouth tightly, for fear of being angry and getting beaten.
In the current situation, even death would be in vain.
Seeing this scene, Ou Shuzhong knew that sophistry had no effect. Lan
He gritted his teeth and said, "Reporting to Mr. Song, the traitor Ou Anmin did have correspondence with my family."
"After joining the North Yuan, he wanted to get help from this family, and to confuse the people to go to Beiyuan for efficiency, but the family never promised the matter."
"The sword thief once said in the letter. When the age is weak, he thought about falling the leaves to return to the roots, and the surname was included in his home."
"But these things have never been promised. Some people who have not been able to achieve their success in the family have been confused and went to the North Yuan."
"The former head of the family discovered this, and when they were about to open their clan, they had not been in the genealogy."
"The words of the lower officials are true, and I also ask Master Song to inspect it."
After Ou Shuzhong finished speaking, he rang into Song Zhong, and the ground rang, and his forehead was blurred when he looked up. Lan
It is a pity that it is not useful in front of Song Zhong and other cool officials such as Song Zhong.
Song Zhong laughed; "How can this official define that you are not stringing, these words, but what evidence is there."
"Is there any reservation of the gangster's letter?"
Ou Shu is loud and bitter: "Never retained."
Song Zhong laughed and said; "Without evidence, just by virtue of your obstetrics, your official must listen to you?"
Speaking of which, Song Zhong suddenly turned the wind and said, "In fact, there is no way to prove it."
"His grandchildren personally explained to me. If Ou Anmin was willing to abandon the northern investment and wake up suddenly, then it can be considered a merit, so you can no longer pursue it in your family."
"In your family, there is a relative of Ou Anmin. It is honestly explained. If you want to hide it, you really have to be found out by the official, but you know that you are not so good."
Ou Shuzhong dared to have any concealment at this moment. Compared with more than 400 mouthfuls of the whole family, Ou Anmin naturally became low.
At first, I did take care of it, but it was all three decades ago. Now thirty years have passed, except for a few people, the love points have long been faint.
"Yes, adult."
"In the family, there are two sons and four grandchildren."
"They don't know that their father is Ou Anmin. From nominally, the brothers have been given to the clan."
"It's his brother."
Ou Shu is interrupted and explained completely.
If these things are checked, they may still conceal one or two, but Jin Yiwei is too ruthless.
When Ou Shuzhong once went to Beijing Normal University, he heard the prestige of Jin Yiwei. At that time, it was the ruthless time of Zhu Yuanzhang's killing officer.
A lot of faintly left Ou Shuzhong. Those high -level Beijing officials were given to death so simple.
In fact, this Xinzheng County could not turn him earlier.
It was just that several counties in the previous Zhixian were executed by Zhu Yuanzhang. This was only Ou Shuzhong's turn to be this Zhixian County.
After that, an Ou family kneeling in the front yard, trembling up, walking in the lobby. Lan
"Old Ou Anfang, adding the elder brother of the treacherous thief, his children will succeed in the old name."
Ou Anfang is also a rare year, and Rongfa is white, but the spiritual head looks pretty good.
In the face of the family's righteousness, she is a tradition of most families.
In the face of the crime of selling the country, they did not dare to conceal the slightest. Any concealment would just make things worse.
Song Zhong laughed and ordered the thousand households next to him: "Wait for the pen and ink, let him write his children's grandson, and write it all."
"The officials forgive them without this courage to dare to deceive."
The thousands of households next to them were brought with paper and pen. Ou Anfang took it on the ground and wrote the name clearly. Lan
Among the crowd, a middle -aged man, a woman, and two teenagers pale.
They are the son -in -law of Ou Anmin.
Although no one in the family has said this, it is not too much secret.
The rest are either an official or studying outside, not here.
After everything was ready, Song Zhong looked at it and put it on the case table, saying, "Following His Royal Highness of the Taisun, who will be suspended and dealt with for all officials."
"All ethnic groups are temporarily entered into the law and order departments of various places, and as a matter of waiting for the crime."
Speaking of this, Song Zhong paused slightly and continued; "This official will give you a chance for the time being, you can choose three people, write three family books, and pass it from the official to the North."
"If you are willing to look back, you are not blame about your current situation. He is restored for the officials and officials.
"If you are obsessed, then the whole family will follow the crime of the enemy's rebellion.
"I think clearly, how should I write in my letter."
After Song Zhong finished speaking, he no longer said much and turned away.
And all these European families will enter the Public Security Division. Before the letter is coming, they will be waiting in the jail.
It is a penalty, which depends on how Ou Anmin in the North Yuan chose.
In this case, not just Song Zhong. Lan
The remaining Han ministers who worked in Beiyuan, their families in Daming are roughly similar to the current Ou family.
This is not a joke. If you really do n’t choose to return to Daming, then what to do, what to do.
In this world of this world, there are not so many Virgins in the future, and the crime is also a very common crime.
One person has made mistakes, and the whole family has suffered. To put it simply, the family must have education for every family.
Even if it is, it is not necessary to talk about the benefit of Daming for other countries.
This is to make all the scholars in the world understand that in the future, you can play for other countries and call it a minister.
But when this country is hostile to Daming, if you want you to come back, you must come back. Lan
Even if you are an orphan, there is no concern, it will make you stink in history for thousands of years.
Soon, a large number of family books were passed on to the North Yuan when the parties were in a hurry.
