Xu Xiang also gave instructions in a low voice at this time, with a sinister smile on his face.
"Report!"
"The tinder jar is gone!"
Suddenly, the voice of Xu Xiang's servant team Zheng Gu Zifang came.
Xu Xiang couldn't help but stop smiling.
"real?"
"Don't dare to hide this from the boss!"
"The tinder jar is really gone!"
Then, Gu Zifang, the leader of Xu Xiang's Jia Ding Firearms Team, shouted.
After hearing this, Xu Xiang was furious and kicked Gu Zifang: "You bastard! How could Marching Army lose the tinder jar at will! Didn't I ask you? Drag him down and behead him!"
The most important thing in firearms combat is the tinder jar. You must always ensure that the tinder is on and not extinguished. Otherwise, lighting the match rope only when the battle is about to take place will undoubtedly be very time-consuming and affect the fighter plane.
"slow!"
Gu Zifang, who had been developed as an informant by Jin Yiwei, took out the wooden sign, stood up from the ground, and said: "I am from Beizhen Fusi, who dares to kill me!"
After Gu Zifang said that, he shouted: "Brothers of the Miao soldiers, why are you still standing there? If you don't want to be labeled as a rebel, quickly control Xu Xiang, the traitor!"
Several ordinary Miao soldiers who had been bribed by Gu Zifang quickly drew their swords and pointed them at Xu Xiang.
Xu Xiang was startled: "Jinyiwei?"
…
"Boss Xu, we have failed!"
"It turns out that they have known our secret for a long time. That Fu Rong is actually from the Zhenfu Division, not the cousin of Fu Bingxian, the supervisor of the army!"
"Fu Bingxian was simply cooperating with Jin Yiwei to say that Fu Rong was his cousin!"
At this time, Chen An was escorted over by two sergeants from the Lin Guards, and shouted loudly to Xu Xiang without tears.
After hearing this, Xu Xiang couldn't help but ask: "Then why do they still come to Yaoguan?!"
"General Deng has already led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from various states to ambush in Yao Pass. There are not just the ordinary hundreds of chieftains here! This is like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind!"
"Xu Xiang, surrender, tell the truth to those above you, and you may be able to receive leniency!"
Fu Rong, who came with Chen An, answered Xu Xiang loudly and said, "You can listen carefully. Are there a lot of gunfire in the direction of Yaoguan?"
After Xu Xiang listened carefully, he heard a rumble coming from the opposite side.
Then, he saw many Yunnan chieftain soldiers from the Ming Dynasty who were armed with local forces and had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. They were wrapped in handkerchiefs, wearing trousers, and holding hooks and sickles, pouring out of Yao Pass.
Seeing this, Xu Xiang couldn't help but close his eyes and kneel on the ground.
The Burmese and Yi people also realized something was wrong at this time and were eager to retreat. However, because Deng Zilong destroyed the bridge and plank road in advance, cutting off their return route, the Burmese and Yi people could not escape at all.
In the end, Mengbie and Nandian rebel chief Luochen died in battle, and Yue Feng was captured alive.
The Ming army beheaded more than 20,000 people.
After Liu Wei came back covered in blood, he said to Xu Xiang:
"You are a person who usually pretends to be a thief and robs merchants. I cover up for you, but you dare to betray me! If Jin Yiwei hadn't revealed your background a long time ago and asked me to guard you, I would have been killed by you. Got it!"
Xu Xiang just smiled bitterly, and was escorted away by the Jinyi Guards shortly after. But before being escorted away, he shouted to Liu Wei:
"Commander, can you please give me a treat? For the sake of me, I have followed the commander and fought on the battlefield with you for many years!"
"What qualifications does a white-eyed wolf have to talk about friendship?!"
Liu Wei replied coldly.
Next, Liu Wei and Deng Zilong, together with Fu Long, reported victory to the court again.
After Chen An and Xu Xiang were also defeated, although there were many civil servants and staff around Liu Wei and other officials, no one made any fuss.
…
"It's this team of tea merchants. Their horses are not carrying bricks of tea, but firecrackers!"
"I saw in the mountains that a tea guest fell into the river when they were crossing the gorge. What was dug out of the horse's pack was a firecracker!"
Within the Erhai Lake.
A child herding herd pointed at a group of tea merchants who had just entered Erhai City, and said to Cao Fu, the flag officer of Yijin Yiwei who was stationed here.
After hearing this, Cao Fu nodded and looked at Mu Changzuo, Duke of Guizhou: "My lord, let your soldiers check their goods."
Mu Changzuo nodded, and then glanced at his deputy, Lu Tongcheng.
So, not long after, the tea merchant's begging voice came from the Erhai City Pass: "Please, Lord Jun, be accommodating. This is the tea that our General Secretary Liang has discussed, and there is also a ticket from your deputy envoy Chen Bingxian."
The tea merchant said as he took the ticket.
"no!"
"We only follow the orders of the Duke."
After the city guard told the general manager, he ordered people to forcibly search the bamboo baskets on both sides of the tea merchant's horse.
The tea merchant suddenly changed his expression when he saw this: "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for your Duke Qian? Although he is a noble guarding Yunnan, how can he offend the officials in the capital? He is not afraid of a bullet in the capital. Are you going to be pushed out by him to be the scapegoat?!"
"If the Duke of Guizhou is impeached in Beijing, this court will definitely defend him!"
"Tea and horse goods must be inspected when entering the city. This is an order issued by this court long ago. You tea merchants actually want to rely on the power behind them to avoid being inspected. What are your intentions?!"
At this moment, the governor Liu Shizeng came on horseback and ordered: "Check, check carefully!"
"Retribution! There is a blunderbuss!"
At this time, a sergeant shouted to the city guard.
Liu Shizeng also followed the sound and looked over.
When Mu Changzuo heard about it, he immediately went down to the city and rushed over. Then he saw a large number of large blunderbuss printed with Xiyi characters wrapped in cloth bags together with tea bricks.
Mu Changzuo's face darkened when he saw this: "Take them all!"
Liu Shizeng also ordered his staff: "Immediately write a bombshell to impeach Councilor Liang Ziqi's family for smuggling firearms to Yunnan, and deputy envoy Chen Yanzhi secretly issued licenses to protect profiteers!"
The tea merchant was immediately detained, and he asked Mu Changzuo and others in confusion: "How did you find out? Other tea merchants will be let off if they give some money, but we must be strictly investigated."
Jinyiwei Cao Fu came over at this time, took out the Zhenfusi wooden sign and said: "Do you understand now?"
The tea merchant closed his eyes and said, "Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei has already placed people in Yunnan!"
"My lord, Fuyuan, please give the person to our Jin Yiwei."
After Cao Fu looked at Liu Shizeng and Mu Changzuo, he handed over the imperial edict: "This is the edict for the Jinyi Guards to investigate the traitors!"
Therefore, Liu Shizeng and Mu Changzuo handed over the tea merchant to Jinyiwei.
It didn't take long.
Xu Xiang, Chen An, and Yue Feng were also taken to Erhai and handed over to the Jinyi Guards here.
Mu Changzuo couldn't help but smile at Cao Fu and said, "You Jin Yiwei seem to be well prepared, but do you have people who can be tortured? Do you want me to send some people to you?"
Liu Shizeng also said: "There are also a few experienced criminal masters in Fuyuan, who may be able to help you find the person behind it as soon as possible."
"No need!"
"Shi Qianhu, the governor of our town, has personally brought people from the capital to Yunnan. He is accompanied by many old Jinyi from the imperial edict, and He Xinyin, who has experience, will also come with him to help with the investigation and use his reputation to tell the world Man, what the Jin Yiwei found out is indeed the truth, and there are indeed nobles who are trying to communicate with the barbarians."
Cao Fu said.
"Mr. Fushan has joined the Jinyi Guards?"
"Didn't he get out of prison?"
Liu Shizeng was shocked and quite excited. When he saw He Xinyin really coming, he immediately handed over his hands: "Mr. Fushan!"
Although Xu Xiang, Chen An, Feng Jinglong, Lu Guangzu, Yue Feng and others had different purposes and were not subordinate to each other, the Jinyi Guards had the same orders and were well-organized.
Therefore, even though people like Xu Xiang did things that were disgraceful to the court even though they did not belong to each other or even knew each other, they were still intensively interrogated by the Jin Yiwei.
"ah!"
Xu Xiang soon couldn't withstand the interrogation of the old Jin Yiwei from Beizhen Fusi, so he screamed and said while sweating profusely:
"I'll do it! It was my master Su Qianhe who ordered me to do what Chen An ordered me to do. I pretended to be a military attache and enlisted as a military attaché. I dare not disobey him!"
