"What, someone actually dares to plan a salt ship for the imperial court."
In a secret room in a farmyard somewhere in Suzhou, Wang Wenxin, a member of the Jinyiwei family, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
"Well done, I will truthfully report your merits to the superiors."
Wang Wenxin said.
Looking at both sides of everything, it was Jin Yiwei's fault for not discovering someone's idea of transporting salt ships earlier.
But discovering the clues before committing the crime and catching them all before they commit the crime is a credit.
"I thought that after being beaten by Eunuch Wei in the Jiangnan area, those people would be more honest, but I didn't expect that the scars on the other party would be healed and the pain would be forgotten after just a short time.
Now that's good, not to mention anything else, I finally have a chance to enter the Martyrs' Shrine of the Ming Dynasty. "
"Send this secret message to..."
Suzhou is a prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River. There are many people here, and no one can be sure whether there are other people's work around the docks and military camps.
And since the other party can quietly get so much gunpowder from Suzhou's arsenal, I'm sure many officials in Suzhou will be involved.
And in recent years, although the imperial court has vigorously developed maritime transportation, water transportation is still a focus of the Ming Dynasty's transportation industry.
The defensive strength has always been strong.
This transportation of salt is a major matter related to the stability of the country, so the defense will not be weak.
Since the other party dares to bring his idea here, there is no guarantee that there will be someone from the other party in the transport team.
Since I want to catch them all in one fell swoop. Then Suzhou's troops cannot be moved.
Even if we deploy troops from other places, we can't let the other party discover it.
For the current plan, we can only recruit the navy from Taihu Lake.
Although the Ming Dynasty has been developing its navy in recent years and has not paid special attention to the development of the inland navy, as the Ming Dynasty's regular army, the Taihu Navy has still gathered together its personnel, and its military pay and training have been guaranteed.
Even relying on the "rags" picked up from the navy, the strength of the naval forces in various parts of the Ming Dynasty has improved.
Taihu Lake is the third largest freshwater lake in the Ming Dynasty and the largest lake in Zhejiang Province.
Taihu Lake has many river ports and estuaries.
With a height of more than 2,500 square kilometers, Taihu Lake is destined to be an excellent hiding place for criminals.
Even if the imperial court formulated multiple strategies of recruiting surrender, blockade, and timed strikes.
However, with the secret help of local powerful people, even now they still have not been able to completely eliminate the criminals in Taihu Lake.
However, no matter how powerful those local tycoons are and how much influence they have on the local area, they would not dare to blatantly support those lawless elements in front of Zhu Youjian, the god of death.
Under the constant attacks of the Taihu Navy, those criminals could only survive in Taihu Lake.
In order to prevent the opponent from jumping over the wall and ensure the effectiveness of the blockade, the imperial court allocated a hundred-man cavalry to the Taihu Navy.
You must know that since ancient times, cavalry has been the elite of the Central Plains dynasty.
If they were facing the elite Jiannu soldiers from before, they would probably only be able to defeat 300 of them.
But now we are in the south, unless the other side sets up an ambush, those lawless elements have some strength and support, but they have not experienced war, and have not even received corresponding training.
It is no problem for these 100 elite cavalry to crush 3,000 criminals.
Moreover, the current cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to their riding and archery skills, also have requirements for horseback archery. (Today’s guns are not suitable for immediate shooting.)
Under the powerful force of the cavalry, the victory of this battle had already been decided.
