Several people talked for a while, and over there, Lama Wang continued to ask.
"We want to know about the situation in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty." He said: "Your Majesty and all the ministers are very interested in the information you have. If you can provide useful information, the court will definitely reward you heavily."
Zhao Liang bowed again to express his thanks, and then said to the Great Lama Wang: "I am willing to serve the country, and I am not greedy for rewards. It's just that I have been in trouble recently, and I want to ask the court to uphold justice."
"What's wrong?" Guo Kang asked.
"The villain has always been law-abiding. Apart from driving, he trains horses and maintains equipment in the guild hall every day. He has never provoked anyone. Before, people from the Tang Sect came to cause trouble, and the villain endured the humiliation and only waited for the Chamber of Commerce to mediate." Zhao Liang complained. : "But recently, people from the Beggar Clan have come knocking on my door again."
The Beggar Gang is also one of the five major rivers and lakes forces in Rome. These people mainly come from the Ross area in the north, so they are called "Northern Beggars". In fact, they are not real beggars, but they are called beggars because they belong to the lower class of society and are regarded as beggars by the local Greeks.
Although the Russians are not very good at fighting, they are hardworking and brave, and their performance is very conspicuous in various gang fights in the city. Their leader was good at wielding a long stick. It was said that when he was in Ross's hometown, he could kill a bear in the forest with one stick, which was known as the "Bear Beating Stick Technique".
Although these people are unscrupulous and often get into trouble, their organization is also a resource available in the city and has some dealings with the government. The adoptive father was guarding Dadu at that time. In a hurry, the city was short of troops, so he mobilized the Rus from the Beggar Gang to help on the city wall, and finally defended the city.
Therefore, when members of the Ross gang commit crimes, grassroots officials often let them go and do not pursue excessive charges. As a result, they remained as arrogant as ever, even looking down on several other sects, and often fought with each other.
"What did they do?" Guo Kang's family also had contact with these people, and knew that they had always been neither serious nor serious, so they asked quickly.
"They had a quarrel with the people of the Tang Sect, and the result was Chi Yu. Some people thought that we were also the Tang Sect's property, and they refused to listen to any explanation. In the end, they smashed up the guild hall and injured my brother." Zhao Liang replied.
Guo Kang asked a few more questions to find out the situation.
It turned out that Zhao Liang and others had just arrived and were unable to join the now famous fleet of Junbao, so they could only hang out with a Venetian merchant's store. The businessman took a fancy to their driving skills and gave them a lot of sponsorship, so the relationship between the two parties was very harmonious.
But recently, it seems that the Venetian merchant owed money to a Jewish businessman because of a failed investment. When the Jewish merchants refused to pay their debts, they became angry and hired a gang of beggars. They took them to destroy shops and collect debts by force, threatening to cut off the Venetian merchants' flesh as compensation if they did not repay the money.
When they were mediating the Tang Clan incident, the merchant established some contacts with them. Seeing that other gangs were coming, people from the Tang Sect came to see the situation. Unexpectedly, the people from the Beggar Clan were arrogant and unreasonable. When they saw them coming, they thought they were trying to steal trophies and started fighting. The Tang Sect was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
The Beggar Gang believed that the shop and the racing car warehouse next to it were the properties of the Tang Clan, so they took the opportunity to smash them and took away all the valuables.
Zhao Liang went to a racecourse in Bulgaria to buy horse racing, but he happened to be away, so he escaped from the disaster, but his good friend Wan Yangou suffered a disaster.
Wan Yangou was staying at the guild hall at that time, but he was chased by a group of fierce Russian barbarians. He jumped up and down and was almost beaten to death. He only escaped by hiding in an underground reservoir. After that, Wan Yangou had a psychological shadow and couldn't speak smoothly. He has not fully recovered to this day.
This dispute has yet to come to an end, and the local officials have not asked about it at all. Therefore, he took the risk to appeal, hoping that the court would take action.
Guo Kang also didn't expect that there would be another case behind this matter. He glanced at his adoptive father and felt that it wouldn't be difficult to solve the problem with his family's intervention. But now is not the time to settle the case. We can only deal with it first and discuss the serious matters first.
Over there, the Great Lama Wang seemed to have the same idea.
"I will contact Yousi to help you solve this matter." He promised: "You handle your affairs well, and I will naturally help you wherever you need to."
Zhao Liang nodded gratefully.
"I heard from Javanese businessmen that the expedition to the east expelled the Ming Dynasty's garrison on Shuidada Road and recaptured the main producing area of northern pearls, so now many pearls flow into the market through them." Wang Da Lama said: "You give Please tell us about the situation there."
"Okay." Zhao Liang took the words, pointed to the northeast of the map, and said: "My hometown is in Shangjing, Gujin. There are still people living there and running a fur business. In the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Shizu pacified Naiyan and others. After the rebellion, Liaoyang Province was established, and it has been under the jurisdiction of officials since then. Nüzhishui reached Wanhu Prefecture, and the administrative seat was at our place. Since then, the imperial court has been sending people to manage it, and many of the organizational systems are still in use today."
Guo Kang also looked at the picture.
Dada is the official name of the Yuan Dynasty to various Mongolian tribes. Shui Dada was a native of Shiwei who stayed in the Northeast and had been engaged in fishing and hunting. The scope of the Nüzhi River reaching Wanhufu was probably the area from the lower reaches of the Songhua River and HLJ in later generations to the sea.
It was originally the territory of the Mongolian kings. Later, because the central government of the Yuan Dynasty tried to promote provinces, conflicts arose with the feudal kings. Therefore, Naiyan, the sect king in the northeast, united with the sect kings in the northwest and Mobei to launch a rebellion.
The Mongols in the north have always been the biggest enemy of the Yuan Dynasty, and the court has always been vigilant about this. After the rebellion broke out, Kublai Khan immediately decided to go on a personal expedition and led the Han army guards in the Northern Expedition, capturing and killing Naiyan. The forces of the kings in the east suffered heavy losses. Since then, the Yuan Dynasty has been administering this area through officials, and it is not surprising that it still has influence today.
"The current Zhengdong Province started from here." He pointed to the river mouth on the map: "The route Shizu took to conquer Japan was very wrong. He was probably coaxed by the Koreans - or the Koreans themselves didn't know anything about it. , after all, it was the Japanese who crossed the sea to fight them, and I never saw them crossing the sea to fight back."
"And this time, they hired the local Jurchen tribe who are familiar with the sea conditions to act as guides." He pointed to a large area of the coast: "The Jurchens here have been going to sea to plunder Japan all year round, and they are very familiar with navigation routes, hydrology, and wind direction. . I heard that the army was about to go on an expedition, and the local wealthy He Shilie clan took the initiative to lead the way. So this time it went smoothly, and after the war, we and the Zhengdong Province have been maintaining communication through this northern route."
